Here is another suggestion
for the business man who advcr-
tises or ought to advertise.
Advertising space is valuable
in proportion to the extent and
character of circulation of the
advertising medium.
The Stars advertising rate
for a given space for three
months or more is, less than s
cents per line, without changes;
for ten thousand lines to be
used within year, changes at
will, the rate is y cents per line.
The Stars circulation is be-
lieved to be five times that of
any afternoon paper in Wash
ington-no other. afternoon pa
per makes public its circulation.
On this basis it is therefore easy
to calculate that a fair rate for
space in other afternoon papers
would be one cent a line where
The Star charges five and II
cents a line as against The Stars
charge of y cents.

Mf.eHnrs Motion.
Mr.. Hill mbvsd to refer the resolution to
the finance Tcommittee He thought there
was no question Of the propriety Of the
reference. as the finance committee has the
subject before II In the House bill. The
committee had, he said. adjourned until
Tuesday: the question could be considered
carefully between now and then. He as
serted that there was more than single
question involved in this proceeding.
The question Of whether bonds should
be sold at public or private should go with
that bill now under consideration by the
committee.
The Senate resolution would carry no
weight. It was only an expression of the
Senate alone. It-was expected to have some
weight with the executive, but he did not
know that 1t would. He thought the execu-
tive department sufficiently embarrassed al
ready.

had experience with robbers before and he
knew what to do. Making feint to as
sist the robber. he drew his revolver and
fired without an instant's warning.
The man uttered cry Of pain and tried
to run. He went few steps and fell, with
blood streaming from a wound In his ab-
domen.
Seeing the man fall, Justice Blume turn
ed his revolver upon the other man, who
was trying to escape, and fired several
shots after him, none Of which took effect
so far as is known.
After the shooting, the two went to the
Harrison street police station and told
what had occurred. The patrol wagon was
eent out at once and the man was found
lying where he fell. The dead man was

Found Drunk In a Lumber Yard and
Says He Was Robbed.
Josiah Smith, twenty-eight years old,
clerk, was the name, age and occupation
given by a man who was locked up at
Lieutenant Kelly's police station about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon on a charge
of intoxicatfon. He was found by Police
man Hayes in T. W. Smiths lumber yard.
opposite the Baltimore and Ohio station,
and was released last night when he had
recovered from the effscts Of what he had

said he was on his way to the Gethsemane
Seminary in Louisville, KY, where he was
going into retreat for six months. 1t
developed that the Intoxicated man Lad
reached here Wednesday night and was
taken to the Hotel Enrich by q stranger,
who asked the clerk to care for him. Yes
terday he was drinking, and he went from
the hotel to the lumber yard, where he
was found by the officer.
When searched al the station he had a
handsome gold watch and 50 on him, and
when released last night he made the dis
covery that 500 he had when he came
here had disappeared. He had no idea
Of what had become of the money and
thought he must have been drugged and
