JUDGE DAYS SUCCESSOR
Nv. George E. Baldwin, of Canton,
Ohio, Goes to Cuba.
VIII Investigate the Ruiz Murder
on the Same Line That Judge
Day Would Have Worked.

President Mckinley has decided to send
George Z. Baldwin, of Canton, Ohio, as
special conmi ssioner to Cuba. This is the
second man from the Presidents home
who has been selected for the mission
Judge Will am R Day being originally de
termined upon. His appointment, however,
as First Assistant Secretary of State made
it necessary that another man should be
assigned to the important work. Several
names were suggested TO the President,
but Baldwin seemed to best meet his fancy.
Mr.. Baldwin i S an astute lawyer and a
warm personal friend OF both the President
and Judge bay, and is said to be emf
nently qualified for the position
Baldwin, furthermore. enj joys Mr.. Nc
Kiniey's confidence, and on several occa-
sions during the last campaign was
entrusted with important missions. II is
said that the Presid dent sent him 10 make
the last appeal to Gov Bushnell to appoint
Mark Hanna as Senator from Ohio to sue
ceed MI Sherman.
Up to this time it was feared that Gov.
Bushnell would ignore the Presidents
wishes in the matter and appoint another
man. Baldwin, however, as Talleyrand
to the Second Napoleon by his di-
plomacy, succeeded in changing the gov
ernor's mind. and it is a matter OF recent
history how Hanna's name was sent TO
the Senate
Mr. Baldwin's visit to Cuba will be more
in the nature OF a routine procedure. 1t
being held by the State Department that
a legal adviser should he sent there to
assist Consul General Lee III the pro-
posed Ruiz investigation.
Mr.. Baldwin is not expected TO arrive
in washington until after the Presidents
return from the Grant memorial exercises
in New York, on next Wednesday He
will then begin to acquaint himself with
all of the details connected with the alleged
murder of Ruiz from papers on file in the
State Department before leaving for
Havana.
1t is more than probable that MI Bald
win will also have a talk with Mrs Ruiz
before undertaking the important work
Judge Day is now in Canton, and will
acquaint his successor with all OF the
Information he had gathered In connection
with the Ruiz case before the President
determined TO appoint him, as Secretary
ShermanS assistant.

SUNDAYS HIGH TEMPERATURE.
This City Yesterday Was the Hottest
In the United States.

Washington yesterday had the not alto
gether enyiable distinction of being the
hottest place Ia the country.
For several days past the thermometer,
TO the horror of the coal dealers and the
corresponding delight Of the ice man,
and the Soda water dispenser, has been
creeping steadily upward and yesterday,
shortly after noon, it reached its highest,
registering a tIifle more than IS degrees,
ecipsing every other city in the United
States By several degrees.
Notwi outstanding the great seeming heat,
however, there was really very little to
complain Of, as the hot spell is not only
later than in previous seasons, but also
of less intensity Last year, for in-
stance. the thermometer had reached SO
degrees before the 18th of April. H.
stances OF even higher temperatures in that
month may be had upon request at the
Weather Bureau.
The first relief of yesterdays undue
warmth was felt shortly after sunset
last night, when clouds began to gather
and slight breeze sprang up
About 10 O'Clock the breeze freshened
considerably, light rainfall succeeding
The rain Stacked after short time. but
according to the weather bureau it mark
moving eastward, has now left the coast.
For tomorrow the forecast is light show
ers in the morning, followed by clearing
weather about noon, and a fall OF sew
eral degrees in the temperature.

Set aside for twenty-four hours bottle
or common glass filled with urine. A sedi

condition of the Kidneys When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence of kid

or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.

The order of Odd Fellows. which had
long existed i'll the 'old country" was
brought to America by Thomas Wildey,
who came over from London in 1917.
Wildey was born in London ON January
15, 1882, and at the age OF twenty-one
years was initiated into the English
branch OF the order, which is styled the
Manchester Unity of the independent
Order OF Odd Fellows. He settled in the
city OF Baltimore, Md, where he followed
the occupation of carriage blacksmith.
Fellows who had preceded him, and by
means OF a notice inserted in the Balti-
more American of April 2, 1919, called
a meeting on April 10, 1919, at the
Seven Stars" Inn, on Second street,
where, with five Others, an organization
was effected, and a charter asked and
obtained from the Manchester Unity, the
first lodge being known as Washington
Lodge, No. L.
The growth of the order has been phe-
nomenal. The present membership OF the
American branch is 100000 the Re-
bekah branch, founded by Vice Presi-
dent Colfax, numbering $50, 900 men,
bers The order paid $4,00o,000 in re-
lief to its members and cir fandlies
during the past year.
1t is expected that the attendance at
large, and arrangements have been made
by the committee in charge for overflow
meetings I'm the several lodge and encamp-
ment-rooms, suitable speakers and other
talent being engaged for that purpose.
The Patriarchs Militant of the District

SERIOUS FRAUD CHARGES
Chas. A. Ruffee, Of Minnesota, Com
mitted to the District Jail.
Alleged to Have Planned to Cheat
the Government by Changing
His naturalization Papers.

Charles A Ruffee, "a prominent citizen
OF Minnesota, whose home is at Snow
Wing, Sterne county, was brought To
this city yesterday morning in custody
of L. S. Marshal O'Connor of that dis
triot, and was committed to jail last
night, pending hearing of his case liz
the criminal court this morning. Mr.
Ruffee, who is German-American, is
charged with altering his naturalization
papers, for the purpose OF defraHding tie
Government out of S1o0,000 involved
in a large land claim.
Mr. Ruffee owns IA large estate in SteTne
county and for a number of years Was
Indian Agent in that section About
two years ago he instituted claim against
the Government forthe SUM named, alleging
that during an Indian outbreak large
tracts of his land Were laid Gesolate aud
bare and hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
worth or his property destroyed during their
depredaLions
An investigation OF the case was made
through the Court OF Claims, as is usual
in such matters, and it was found that
the representations were borne out by
the facts in the case, and that large
amount OF Mr.. Ruffee's property had been
destroyed by the Indians The amount was
about To be allowed when Mr.. Ruffee was
requested to produce his naturalization
pa Pers, which were found to be dated
1S66
Not satisfied with this, tefore winding up
the case, il was decided 20 procure the
original naturalization papers from the
clerk OF StcTne county, when IL was found
that instead Of having become an American
citizen in 1866 il was not until eleven years
later, Or in 1877 that the papers We're
taken out In view OF tie fact that Mr..
Ruffee had made affidavit that he had
been an American citizen since 1866, pay
ment upon the claim stopped, and an order
issued for his arrest
The reason for the false representation
made in the affidavit in relation to the
date Of naturalization is said to have
been i'll order 90 enabie him To recover for
the depreciation committed between 1865
and 1877, during which time he was not
a citizen OF the United States, and con-
sequently not entitled to recover from the
Government for any damage done by In
dian warfare. Bail was fixed by the
Minnesota court at SO, 900, which he was
unable to procure, and he was accordingly
brought here yesterday and committed TO
jail.
Mr.. Ruffee is an intimate friend and as
sociate OF Hon. Cushman X. Davis, Sen
ator from that state, who has interested
himself In his behalf. Mr. Ruffee is a large
bonanza farmer and grain speculator and
reputed to be quite wealthy, He will be
given a preliminary hearing in criminal
court this morning, when it is probable
that bail will be secured. Mr.. A. a.
Lipscomb will defend Mr.. Ruffee

CROWDS VISIT GRANTS TOMB.
Over 10000 Persons Viewed the
Grant Monument Yesterday,

New York, April %. Nobody could have
seen the crowd that gathered about the
Grant monument this afternoon without
wondering what wou!dbe done on Tuesday
il more people try TO find room in a small
section OF New York city. Certainly more
people will be there. The crowd today
was no more than a preliminary indica-
tion of the Tuesday throngs, and the only
solution of the problem suggested itself.
VIII be available and that viii make a

walked on the drives and pavements, lay

But il there had been a sudden command
to take seats this afternoon / t is doubtful
if that stretch OF empty bleachers from
the tomb down to Seventy-second street
would have accommodated all the pedes-
trians that We're In that region. 1t was
estimated that 10000 people visited the
tomb this afternoon.
From most of the stands today the
brokers offered seats at prices that have
already dropped since Saturday. Some
of the stands that offered seats then at
So were taking So today, and a similar
drop was noticed nearly all the way along
the line. From the energy with which
seats were offered there must still re

RULES FOR HARVARD STUDENTS.
Must Not Entertain Young Women
in Their Rooms.

in Their Rooms.
Boston, April 25.-Upon returning from
his Easter vacation tomorrow, every Har-
ward man will be greeted with a printed
circular from the parietal board OF the
university, signed by Chairman Bartlett
and containing these rules.
The board expects that when entertain
ing ladies in your room, except on such
days as class day, YOU will observe the
following regulations:
No mo young lady or ladies' uhat-
tended by an elderly lady as chaperon,
should be received in students room
No. 2-During the evening, no lady should
be received i'll Students room, unless
the student has previously consulted with
the proctor, or i'll the proctor's absence,
with some other officer OF Instruction or
government.
No. Sit is desirable that ladies should
not enter or walk through the halls Of the
dormitories unattended, and a student
when entertaining ladies' should see that
they are escorted to and from his loom
either by himself or by some other gentle
man.
One of the editors OF the Harvard Grim
son, said today, in discussing the new
edict;
'.Ths is new piece of officiousness on
the part of Mr.. Bartlett. There is no
man in the university but knows its regu-
lations regarding the reception of women
in the doTrEitories. When ft has been
proven to the satisfaction of the faculty
that a man has received woman of bad
character in his room, expulsion has fol-
lowed in every Instance.
''In regard to entertaining women, and
the stand the faculty may have taken
against it / would say that Harvard men
are no better or worse than any other body
of students of like number There has
always been and there always will be a
certain n urnber of men who win tiansgress
rules in this respect and throw dishonor
on themselves and others.
'.It has been a fact, however, that In
certain of the outlying halls or dormitories
Of the university there have been women
of questionable character entertained, and
complaints have been made to the faculty
with justice.
..There is a class of women who have
been in the habit Of coming out TO Cam
bridge from Boston, whose visits can
be well dispensed with. 1 have often seen
numbers ofsthese women, very often under
the influence of liquor and -quarreling
among themselves, aboard the electrcs
in Harvard Square for Boston as late as
2:30 or O'Clock in the morning 1 have
been told that some of these females Pay
regular visits to certain members of the
fast set.
ut is considered possible that the faculty
may have heard Of these goings-on. al
though they have been in no wise more
remarkable for their frequency of late
than heretofore. and have notified the
the parietal board to put stop to
them
