With a momentary absurd hope that
1T might be the bag which had just
been stolen from him, Llewellyn
stopped down, picked it up, and was
about to examine it in the light from
the dining-room window, when there
suddenly broke upon his ear the
sounds of human voices within the
house.
And first of all he heard the voice OF
the girl who had robbed him. She was
sobbing, and crying in voice full OF
distress:
sob! papa, papa, had to shoot him,
and I'm so afraid hurt him! / couldn't
help liking him all the time, and oh! 1t
was dreadful, dreadful! And now I've
got his bag / want you to find him, and
do all you can for him. if he is really
hurt'
George Llewellyn did not wait to
hear more; he put his hand on the
window-sill, and vaultcd into the room.
The relief he felt on discovering that
he had now man to deal with was so
great that, disregarding the fact that
he was wounded, and that the blood
was trickling down through his sleeve,
he raised his revolver and turned to
the newcomer.
The young girl screamed and threw
her arms round her fathers neck.
But before another word was spoken,
George Llewellyns arm had dropped
to his side, and he stood staring in be
wilderment, first at the old man, and
then at his daughter.
For if he had doubted the possibility
that the beautiful, smiling girl could
be an accomplice of thieves. how could
he harbor suspicion about the stout
elderly gentleman, with the gold
spectacles and the stamp of British re-
spectability on every homely featuref
''Why, who are you? What-w-w-
what"
The word died away upon his lips, as
the elderly gentleman, starting and
staring at him in his turn, suddenlyex-
claimed:
Little Georgia! Henry Llewellyn's
son. by all that's marvellous! Why,
why, what's this? George Llewellyn.
little George turned thief! Why, what
does it mean?"
George had by this time grown ac-
customed to the sudden change from
the darkness outside to the light OF the
room, and he staggered in amazement
against the table.
"Doctor-Dr. Lowell" he exclaimed
hoarsely. "Was twas ityour daugh-
ter that took my bag and-and shot
me?"
There was q moments pause, during
which the girl, with a cry, and look
of horror, sank down into chair, with
q deadly white face.
The doctor took off his glasses and
wiped them.
"There has been some mistake, some
desperate blunder!" said he, decidedly.
"What were you doing in this part OF
the world?"
Coming to see you," replied Lie
wellyn, promptly. II was to have
crossed to Calais tonight, with some
securities which was taking for our
firm to Paris. Finding that the boat
couldn't cross, 1 thought / would find you

tent of the harm done, smiled rather
grimly into the young fellows face.

The girl herself sprang up at these
words and ran to the door,

The latter scored 1913 in their first inning
and 40 in their second inning for the loss
of two wickets. The Americans put to-
gether the remarkable score of 404 runs in
their first inning. and it is hardly probable
that the Engishmen can even make enough
1uns to require the Americans to go to bat
for their second inning.
The wicket today was in fine condition.

Startling Recommendation of the
Grand Jury Today.
THE LASH For CERTAIN OFFENDERS
Juymen Put Their Ideas in Writing
and Submit Them.
JUDGE BRADLEY'S COMMENTS

| The present grand jury concluded their
lahcrs this afternoon, and, after present.
| ing quite number of indictments, were
finally discharged by Judge Bradley. The
| last official act Of the body, however, was
nothing else than the submission to the
court OF written recommendation for the
establishment of a whipping post here for
the punishment of wife beaters and petty
thieves.
The recommendation was submitted by
Foreman Jos. c. johnson, and vas signed
by him and fifteen other members of the
grand jury. 1t read as follows: I'VE, the
undersigned, members of the grand jury Of
the District of Columbia, after discussion
of the various crimes and offenses brought
to our attention, believe that Until some
other methods of punishment for such
onenses as petty larceny and wife beating
than those which now prevail in the Dis
trfct OF Columbia are adopted that the
commission of said crimes and offenses
will continue to increase.
I've, therefore,afte serious consideration,
do most earnestly recommend to the hon.
orable judges of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia that they take such
steps to institute whipping post as will
cause the same to be established, believing
that the same would result in decrease OF
crime in the District of Columbia and lessen
the expenditures Of the Criminal Courts IN
said District"
In addition to Foreman johnson. the fol-
lowing members Of the grand jury signed
the recommendation: Sami Polkinhorn,

good results in some instances.
But the courts could not establish It,
heLce Congress should be applied to in the
matter. and he advised the members of the
grand jury to move in that direction. The
recommendation of the grand Jury created
not little comment about the court house,

approval

KEY WEST INDIGNANT.
Reported Landing of Spanish Marines
ON Florida Islands.

Reported Landing of Spanish Marines
on Florida Islands.
KEY WEST, September 30.-Great ex-
element and indignation has been occa-
stoned here by report that the marines
from the Spanish cruiser Conde De Vanadi-
to have been landed on the Florida Keys
ncrth of here to search for filibusters. The
Conde De Vanadito has been cruising in
these waters for some time looking for fili-
busters. II is the general opinion that fili-
busters have arms and supplies secreted on
keys north of this city, and that the Span
ish cruiser has evidently been trying to
find them.
Fishermen who came in from the keys
report that Spanish marines have been
making a diligent search. The fishermen
say the Conde de Vanadito has landed
searching parties almost on every key
where 1t would be possible for filibusters
to rendezvous. This is considered an out
rage here and a gross insult to Florida
and the United States.
The keys belong to Florida, and IL Spain
has a right to land searching parties en-
the keys, it has also right to land ma
rines on the mainland.
The State Department at Washington will
be asked to investigate and demand an
apology from Spain forthwith. So much in
d.gnation has been aroused here by the re-
port that it is feared the Spanish consul
Will be openly insulted.

MAI. .ARMEs. RELEASE.

Line of Duty.

Judge Bradley Simply Acted In the
Line of Duty.
Referring to the publication in a morning
paper that his action In bringing about
an open conflict between the civil and
military authorities in tie District of CO.
lumba is severely criticised by many
prominent officials of the War Depart
ment," Judge Bradley of the District Su-
preme Court stated to Star reporter this
afternoon that he had merely acted in the
case of Maj. Geo. A. Armes as any other
Judge would have done.
The writ Of habeas corpus, said Judge
Bradley being matter of right, there was
nothing for him to do but grant Mai.
ing before him Saturday afternoon, ex-
planned the Judge, the authority for the
prisoners arrest was an order signed by
Assistant Adjt. Gen. Vincent, directing the
arrest, by order Of the acting. secretary Of
war Upon that meager showing, said
Judge Bradley. he set The matter for hear
ing next Saturday, and pending the hear
ing, he released Maj. Armes on bail, &C.
ceptinG his personal recognizance.
AS for the published assertion that there
exists between him and Gen. Schofield a
feeling of uIfriendliness. which, it was
said. might account for his prompt release
Of Major Armes upon his personal bonds,
Judge Bradley said that he had not the
pleasure CT even a casual acquaintance
with Gen. Schoheld. Therefore, 1t was as
false as it was absurd to say that there
existed now or had at any time existed
any spirit of unfriendliness between them
1t simply happened. said Judge Bradley
that Major Arines' petition for writ of
haheas corpus was presented TO him, he
heiEg at the moment the only available
judge. and he had acted in the case as in
his opinion simple jus tice required. and en-
tirely irrespective of any other considera-
ton.

Contest.

Contest.
CHICAGO, Ill, l.,September 30.-The Times
Herald this morning publishes letters from
seventy editors of great newspapers in all
parts Of the United States, a majority Of
whom favor a short presidential cam
paign. The same paper says:
The natio, al committee, who will soon
meet and settle this question, need not to

wishes of their constituents, the people
If put tc test tomorrow ninety per cent
of the voters would declare for a short
campaign. The only opposition comes
from the professional politicians, the pro-
fessional corruptionists and their hired re-
taners. There are not wanting signs that
the people are thoroughly tired and dis
gusted with the operations of these con-
in shaping the policies Of the national
PARTIES. If long campaign and its at
tendant miseries are forced on the coun-
try the blame will be placed where it be-
longs and the responsible party will suffer
the consequences.

not more than two months, and while two
thirds of the writers express preference
for September as the time of holding ma

THREE BIG DEMOCRATS
Ex-Spsaker Crisp, Senator Blackburn and
Senator Hill in Town.
There Was No Conference Between
Them-Hfll Talks on the New
York Situation.

There were three "big democrats in
Washington today-ex-Speaker Crisp, Sena-
tor Hill and Senator Blackburn. There was
no conference between them on hand, how
ever. and there was no political significance
in their presence here at the same time.
Senator Hill is here on private business,
and expects to return to New York. prob
ably tomorrow. Mr.. Crisp stopped over for
cnly day on his way from New York, and
will leave for Georgia tonight. Mr.. Black
burn is here to attend the wedding of his
daughter tomorrow. Neither of the three
had word to say about general politics.
Mr.. Hill ON the New York Situation.
Senator Hill, speaking OF the local situ-
alton in New York, said that the demo-
cratic convention was satisfactory and
that the ticket, which was a good one,
would have the support of all democrats
He called attention to the fact that the
state democracy had indorsed the ticket
nominated Notwithstanding the bolt. 1.-The
ticket" he said, will poll the democratic
state than there are republicans, and We
think there are, the ticket will be elected.
/ think the outlook is favorable" Beyond
this he refused to talk politics.
Mr.. Crisp to Speak for Silver.
Judge Crisp will probably make some Sill
yer speeches in Georgia, but will probably
take nc hand further in politics this fall.
He said that he did not think there was
anything in tie situation to discuss a this
time. He had no suggestions to make as
to presidential candidates, and had de-
clared no preference for any candidate.
He was rather inclined to think the next
session of Congress would be short, unless
the republican party managers found they
had more in the House than they could
manage. He had no suggestions about
politics to make at this time.
Mr.. Blackburn Confident.
Senator Blackburn has declared to every
one with whom he has talked on the subject
that he was perfectly confident of re-elec-
ton. He seems to think that his fight is
practically won

HOWGATE SURRENDERS
His Bail Bond Expires and he Gives Him
self Up
Petition for a Renewal Submitted
Court of Appeals Reserves
It's Decision.

Capt. Henry w. Howgate who was con.
victed before Judge McComas last June OF
forgery and Justification of accounts, today
at 10 o'clock surrendered himself to Mar
shall Wilson, in pursuance Of the bond given
by him last July, he having since that time
been at liberty on bail in the sum Of $4,000
As stated in The Star at the time, Capt
Howgate was admitted to bail on an order
signed by Mr. Justice Morris of the Court
of Appeals, the defendants sentence of
eight years in the Albany peniten.iary hav-
ing been suspended pending his appeal to
the. Court Of Appeals.
Immediately after Capt. Howgate sur
rendered himself to the marshal this
morning. Mr.. A. s. Worthington of his
counsel filed a petition in the Court of
Appeals praying that the defendant be
again admitted to bail, pending his ap-
peal, which is expected to be disposed of
by the court some time next month. Dis
trict Attorney Brney opposed the grant
Ing of the petition, on the ground that 1t
was contrary to practice, and because the
defendant having been convicted and sem
fenced, the presumption is that he is
guilty.
In support Of the petition, Mr.. Wortning.
ton contended that the u s. Supreme
Court has decided that bail may be ac.
cepted even after conviction and sentence
and he argued that the acts Of Congress
establishing the Court of Appeals also full
ly authorized the latter court to order the
admission Of a convicted and sentenced de.
fendant to bail pending an appeal to that
court Mr.. W0rthirgton disagreed with
the district attorney in the latter's asser.
tion that such a defendant is to be pre-.
sumed to be guilty. On the contrary, he
earnestly argued that the appellate court
REGARDED such a person as innocent until
It finally found that such person had been
legally convicted.
Mr.. Bfrney explained that he did rot deny
that the Court of Appeals could establish
a rule admitting convicted Al d sentenced
persons to bail pending an appeal to that
court, but he did contend that it could not
be done. and should not be DONE in the
absence of rule to that effect, and no
such rule having yet been made and pro-
muigated by the court, he thought the pc
tition should be denied.
Mr. Chief Justice Alvey. speaking FOR the
court. stated that the question raised was
very important one, and one which the

of a rule or that such a rule is first neces-
