to which Alaska has been assigned, to the

In carrying out this system it is intended
that all the delegations, Immediately OH

they will be escorted to their hotels and
boarding houses. 1t is believed that cor
siderable confusion will be avoided by
having all the registering done at the
churches rather than at both churches and
hotels o. ether points. AS each delegate
registers he will receive an official badge
which will entitle him to admission to the
sessions of the convention, and also an

venticn sessions. The main portion of the
booklet will be taken up with a detailed
account of the program to be followed,
giving the time and place Of every service
for each day OF convention week, with the
precise order of exercises, the names of
presiding officers, and the subjects of all
addresses and those who are TO deliver

In the back will be found number of
selections of music which will be sung in
convention meetings. This latter feature
will be a great convenience to the dele
gates. who will thus carry their programs
and hymn books in one volume.
AS some of the matter for use in the pro-
gram cannot be furnished until few days
before the convention meets, the completed
book cannot be issued much, if any, before
the delegates begin to arrive.
The committee is a believer in home in
dustry. and so far as Is consistent with
good work and fair prices, makes every ef-
fort to give it's work to local firms So far
this practice has not been departed from,
and it is probable that local printers will be
awarded the contracts for the big jobs-the
publishing of the map and program
Some idea Of the amount of work to be
done in the printing line may be obtained
when it is stated that $1,000 has been al
elusive of the cost OF issuing the map. Al
though the committee has been as econom-
ical as possible-many of the circulars and
notices having been mimeographed by the
members so as to save expense-yet more
than $1,000 has already been paid out for the
circulars, stationery, cards and other work
required. Still nearly two-thirds of the
sum allowed remains unexpended, which
indicates that in the three months inter-
vening before convention time great deal
of printing will be necessary, and as a con-
sequence the printing committee will be a
busy set of workers..

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

in Tuesdays Star relative to the PROPOSE
ton to locate here southern memorial

Should the plan be carried out
AS you we'll say Was hington is the place

rr.ate that there should he here at the
national capital an opportunity to study
the res )urceS, progress and development
OF the several states and also the advance
in the various fields of Industrial endeayor
For example, il one desired informal ton

and best inventions of this kind, and at

And so with other improvements-the field

The idea is capable of further expansion

MURDER Mystery.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Chicago had chief of detectives fifteen
or sixteen years ago who compared, in
many respects, with the best European
talent. He did some work which, for neat
ness and adroit application, was equal to
anything that Gaboriau invented 1 have
in mind now a murder case in which he
figured. Some unknown person, had shot
a farmer, living asfew miles out of Chica-
go, through the heart. The murder hap
pened in the dead of night and the victim
vas oecoyed out of the house to meet his
death.
The farmers wife was suspected of being
trifte too fond of a dull-witted farm hand
who had been discharged by the dead man.
and was then working in Chicago. This
fellow vas promptly placed under arrest
A pawn ticket for revolver was found in
ms pocket. 1t was a cheap weapon. and
very little significance was attached to the
fact that the man should have owned it
and pawned it at that particular time He
gave reasonable account of his move
Eents on the night of the crime and the
murder ed mans wife was firm in her pro-
testations that she had not seen him for
weeks.
During the inquest, however. the de,ao-
tives observed that the bullet which came
out of the dead mans heart was marked in
a peculiar way. 1t had scratches on one
side, as though there were defects in the
pistol from which Ii was fired. Examina-
ton OF the revolver found in the pawn
shop showed two spots Of rust in the
chamber near the muzzle. The detectives
fired the weapon three times into a barrel
OF water, and the balls We're marked ex-
actly like the bullet that killed the farmer
A number of other pistols of the same
make and caliber were obtained and sab
jected to the same test, but none of the
other bullets were marked in the same
manner as those from the farm hands pis-
tol. 1t appeared. therefore, that the latter
