early last April filed a petition here praying
that the Secretary of the Treasury be re-
quired, by mandamus, to pass upon certain
accounts of his as United States district at

should show cause on the 18th of last April
why the petition should not be granted,
quently waived, and the matter was later
argued before and submitted to Judge Brad

Ihc Report Revived That He is to

The report to the effect that Mr. George
vanderbilt would endow an Episcopal mi
versity in this city has been revived in New
York, with the additional statement that
Mr.. Vanderbilt proposes to contribute $500
600 for this purpose.
The attention of Rev. Randolph H. Nc
Kim, rector of the Church of the Epihsnv
ard a member of the board of directors for
the new Episcopal cathedral, was called to
Its truth Mr.. Henry f. Pelew also a
member of the board of directors Of the
new Episcopal cathedral, had his attention
called to the report and took some pains to
investigate 1t. He has just returned to this
city, having heard of the alleged endow-
nent while at LenoX. At that time Mr.
vanderbilt was making a trip in the west
ana could not be communicated with but
the bTother-in-law of the latter, Mr.. Sloan
when questioned concerning the report,
knew nothing of its foundation The re-
~ mere is not credited. If it We're a fact
the board of directors of the new Episcopal
cathedral would be likely to know of it, as
1t is through this body that any action to-
Ward establishing such an institution would
be taken.
But there are many branches of the new
cathedral that it is thought will take form
eventually, and university is one of
them. Prominent Episcopalians here are
greatly interested in securing a substantial
fund for the ESTABLISH ment of a great insti-
side thoSe already begun by the Catholics
and MethodiStS.

burglary and Its Punishment.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your editorial of the 10Th instant, entitled
Inadequate Penalties for Burglary" should
bear fruit in legislation. All householders
are deeply interested in this subject. You
have certainly earned the gratitude of all
nervous women, who look under their beds
every night for Mr.. Burglar.
In the District of Columbia the ma ximum
penalty for burglary or HOUSEKEEPING is
ten years. Ten years should really be the
minimum term; but under no circumstances
should such an offense he made capital
The idea of inflicting the death penalty for
any violation of mere property rights would
he ahhorrent to most people, and juries
would rot convict.
For felonious breaking into a dwelling
house at night the punishment might well
lie made Imprisonment fer life, if the burg
lar is found to be armed with a deadly
weapon. Your argument on this point IS
uranswerable; but the death penalty would
lie too severe.
If an unarmed burglar should commit a
second oifense the penalty should be the
same as in the case of the armed house
breaker THOMAS w. GlLMER.
