erect statue to the memory Of Gen. Robert E.
Lee will be vigorously pushed by the committee
in charge of the work this fall and winter. Miss
Nina Stephenson, Recording Secretary of the

ready large sum has resulted from this method

stantly received. Ii has been suggested that

concerts shall be given for the purpose of raising
funds Some of the most brilliant speakers OF the
country as vel as considerable other talent be
procured 10 assist in the work. Mrs. Vance,

Cbinamen would Not Testify.

Sam Lee, the almoned-eyed son of Confucius,
who was arrested Friday by Policy Detective
Watson, was arraigned in the Police Court yes
terday morning before Judge Taylor, and fined
SIS for dsorderly conduct. When arrested Lee
was charged with violating the policy law of
the District, but, as 1t was impossible to secure
a witness against the man, the charge was
changed and Watson appeared the prosecuting
witness on the amended charge. The police
claim that there was no doubt OF the
guilt of the Chinaman IN connection with
policy game. but frankly admit that they have
again been confronted with the utter impossi-
bility TO secure a conviction OF any member of
the Chinese colony, charged with gambling.
Many attempts have been made by the police to
put stop TO the gambling in Chinatown but
Invariably the arrests OF supposed gamblers have
resulted in nothing, simply because the China
men who made the complaints would not testify.

The UnsoIved Mosquito Problem.

Just why the mosquito bites people it not vet

established fact that a mosquito. after gorging
himself with human blood dies within n few

During its larya stage il has stored up enough

proves that it is not necessary. Why it per-

with vitiated appetite for human gore-an ap-
