sui Skinner, at Marseilles, the Federation
Colombophile de Marseilles has been train
ing homing pigeons for the past five years
for the purpose of securing information
from ships at sea, and now furnishes re-
ports of the complete success of the ex-
pertinent. Birds released from Marseilles
steamers at a distance of 800 kilometers
from Marseilles tthe equivalent of about
2l2 miles) have reached the home lofts

SECOND-STORY BURGLARS
Residence Entered and Robbed of Cash
and Valuables.
The Police Conducting an Investiga-
ton, but Are Without Clues
General Orders Issued.

Burglars visited the residence of William
IL. Butler, the paint dealer, corner of Sth
and streets southwest, early last night
and made haul of about 81 800 worth of
jewelry. The story of the robbery was
given the police soon after. and Lieut..
Hollinberger detailed Detective Baur to
make an investigation.
The house was entered by supposed pro-
fessional burglars known to the police as
early workers" An entrance was effect
ed by climbing through a second-story
window. Mrs. Butler and her daughter
left the house about o'clock to make
call, and returned about $50 o'clock. 1t
was during their absence that the rob-
berry took place, Mr.. Butler being on the
lower floor while the burglars were getting
together the valuables on the upper floors.
when Mrs. Butler and the daughter
reached home they discovered what had
taken place, and word was sent to the
police. The rooms that had been visited
by the burglars were very much disor-
dered. Bureau drawers and a desk had
been forced open with a Jimmy. and the
burglars mad made as extensive a search
as time would permit. A box which con-
tanned about $50 was thrown on the floor
and left there, evidently because there
was nothing about its appearance to in
dictate that it contained valuables. An
examination of the premises showed that
the burglars had reached the second-story
window by climbing the porch and had
left the house in the same manner. In
the rooms We're found a number of burned
sulphur matches of the kind that make no
noise when struck.
The most valuable articles taken were
pair of diamond earrings worth $500 and
the list included two solitaire diamond
rings, gold hunting case watch a breast
pin, several rings with settings of various
stones and other articles. The burglars
also took Sc In cash.
Detective Baur made an investigation of
the case last night and he was out again
ported. no information concerning the
identity of the burglar has been obtained.
Mr.. Edwards Losses.
In Northeast Washington yesterday
afternoon there was also a second-story
burglary committed. The residence of VIM.
A. Edwards, SOB 18th street, was visited
during the absence of the family. 1t was
between and o'clock when the burglars
called. They entered the rear window On
the second floor. The house was ran
sacked and SD in cash, a gold ring set
with pearls, worth about s.. and a diamond
ring, worth about $50, were taken. This
robbery, it is believed, was committed by
the burglars who robbed the house of
Theodore G. Stoner, 517 18th street north
east, Tuesday night. Mr.. Stoners house
was robbed between and IL o'clock pm.
The bureau drawers were ransacked, and
a gold watch and chain, worth about $50,
taken.
These robberies were reported to the de-
tectives last night, and the officers are
looking for the perpetrators. general
order has been sent out concerning Sec
cnd-story workers. and the precinct Off
GERS have been instructed to give the mat
ter particular attention.

Change of Election Day Proposed.

To the Eiitor Of The Evening Star:
Now that the Senate has voted to submit
a constitutional amendment changing the
date of inauguration from March 4 to Nav
4, why not also postpone the date of the
election so as to avoid so long an interval
between the election of an officer and the
date of his entering On duty?
A representative elected in November
does not enter upon legislative duty for
thirteen months, unless there is an extra
session OF Congress.
Election day should be postponed from
November to the first Sunday in February
and two sessions of Congress should he
provided for each year-one to begin NAV
4 and the other November f. If a House
elected in February Should begin business
during the following May Congress would
be brought nearer to the people and WOW
populi would be more effective It is trne
that winter is not the best time to conduct
q political campaign, but the voters Of
these times do not need to have camnaien

SUGGESTS AMENDMENTS.
MIR. MahlOn Ashford's Comments on
Senate Bill 1910.

Mr. Mahlon Ashford, president of a local
real estate title insurance company, In a
letter to Senator Mcmillan, referring to
the House substitute for Senate bill No.
1910, extending jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court, which passed the House last Mon
day, says in part that lit seems to me If
this bill becomes a law in the shape in
which it passed the House, the effect
would be to unsettle rather than settle
titles to land claimed under will"
After suggesting several amendments to
the bill. Mr.. Ashford adds: "Unless these
amendments are made it would seem that
no one could with safety invest in real
estate, and that no title company having
regard for the safety of its stockholders
and its clients could advise the acceptance
of title Of any real estate which was found
to be subject to any of the conditions and
provisions OF section of the bill"
