SICK LEAVE FOR PRINTERS.
Representative Richardson VIII Ask
Legislation in Their Behalf.

Representative James d. Richardson. OF
Tennessee, member of the Joint Com
mittee on Printing in the Fifty-fifth Con-
gress. announces that he will introduce a
bill in the next Congress providing that the
printers employed in the Government
Printing Office shall have thirty days sick
leave each year. Mr. Richardson. in speak
ing of the matter yesterday to Times re-
porter, declared that in his opinion the
printers are as much entitled to the bene-
fits of a sick leave as employees in the
other departments. He paid high tribute
to the printers. saying that as whole
they we're faithful, hard working, and con-
ccientious men and women, who earn every
cent tie Government pays them. Il
want to say now in this connection" he
added. that as | understood the matter
at the time, 1t was the intention of Con-
gress to include the employees OF the Gov
ernment Printing Office in the provision of
the act which gives department clerks
thirty days annual leave, exclusive of Sun
days and holidays OF course, II the Pub
lie Printer has any doubt on the subject,
he can refer the question to the Comp
troller of the Treasury, the law officer of
the Government, and the Comptroller's
opinion will be the law until Congress
acts in opposition to it. | want to see the
Printing Office employees have the thirty
days leave with pay for they are entitled
to it, and believe if the question is sub
mitted to the Comptroller his decision will
be favorable to them
Major Richardson has been here since
the adjournment of Congress working on
the tenth or last volume of ''The Messages
and Papers of the Presidents lie las
just completed his labor and the last
batch of copy is now in the hands Of the
Public Printer. The tenth volume. which
will complete the work-a work pro-
nounced to be one of the most valuable
ever issued by the Government-will con-
tain the index and an appendix, filling 700

esting data on the Spanish-American war

SCORING THE THEATRES.
DIR. Dixon, u baptist Pastor, Preache,
Against Plays.


New York. July 4.-In sermon Sunday
night on the subject MAY | Go to the
Theatre?" Rev. DR.. A. C. Dixon. Pastor
of the Hanson Place Baptist Church. and
formerly of Baltimore, made a strong ar
raignment OF the theatre as an institution.
He quoted from the number of writer's
Scott. Maeaulay. Henry Ward Beecher-
and from many actors-Edwin Booth. Hen
ry Irving. Macready-and others to prove
that the tendency of the stage in all times
was to lower character.
DIR. Dixon made four points: First. that
acting is injurious to the character of the
actor. To act part anywhere is hurtful.
Acting is unworthy of a good man or
woman. The actor sinks himself In the
part he acts. Second the theatre Injuries
those who attend by exaggerations OF life
Third, the stage lowers the tone of every
community. The theatre is an institution
that emphasizes shady character, because
the acting of shady characters pays better
than pure characters. Fourth, the theatre
Is run by the management to make money,
regardless of moral results.
DR.. Dixon and Mrs. Dixon left Brooklyn
yesterday fer Shelby, n. c., his birthplace.
Here a tabernacle has been erected which
will hold 5000 persons. and DR.. Dixon will
hold meetings during part of the time he
is absent. He will also hold a conference

Attorney Ycager Escapes From
Prison Rut IL Back Again

arrested Saturday, accused of having
had improper relations with Edith
Schnebel, sixteen-yea girl, and who
was later released on bond and subse-
quenuy rearrested for contempt Of court.
escaped from No police station at an
early hour yesterday morning.
Yeager enjoyed his liberty for several
hours and was recaptured and locked up
at No. 2 station about IL o'clock yesterday
morning The capture was made at the
Virginia House 32S5 NJ Street northwest,
by Detectives Parham, Gallaher, Baur, and
Lacy. After the capture Yeager's bail.
which was formerly $1,000. was increased
to $1,000. He will be arraigned in court
this morning to answer the charge on
which he was originally arrested. In the
mean time an investigation Is under way
to determine If possible the responsibility
for his escape.
Yeager was locked in the witness room
because he said he was sick. He pushed
his bed against the door and crawled out
Of the traEsom just about midnight. Once
outside IL was an easy matter to make his
escape from the station. He noiselessly
descended the stairs to the hallway open
ing into the cell corridor and turning to
the right, passed down a short flight OF
steps and cut into the alley. From there
ne walked out INTO the mOrBue ana stable
yard just as Eugene Powell, the colored
murderer of Patrick Lee, did seven months
ago. when he made his escape from the
same station in broad daylight.
The detectives had no trouble in tracing
the fugitive TO his room and finally to the
hotel where he was captured. He regis
tered there at / o'clock yesterday morn
ing. When the detectives got there they
were told Yeager was not there. but they
knew he bad made an appointment with
friends at that place. so they searched the
house and found him sitting in one of th>
rooms.
Yeager declared that he had no inten-
tion of running away. but was so crazed
because of his confinement that he had es-
capped in order to secure bcudsmen so thai
he would be able to remain at liberty

SIR PETER PARKER's CANNON.
Historic Gun Used to Celebrate in
Chestertovn. Nd.

Chestertown, Md. July AT the cele-
bration Of the Fourth of July in Chester
town the most interesting object was one
of the three cannon used against the Brit
ish under that distinguished commander.
Sir Peter Parker. in the battle of Caulk's
Field. This fight occurred on August 80,
1914. The British left one midshipman
and eight men dead on the field. and nine
wounded. six of whom died in the course OF
few hours. Sir Peter Parker was among
the slain. The Kent county troops, under
Col. Philip Reed. lost one man What has
become of the other two cannon no one
knows. The old Chestertown gun has had
most interesting history since finding its
way to Chestertown. For many years it
was used to celebrate the national birth
day and local political triumphs.
While being used about fifty years ago
to celebrate Fourth of July holiday. a
nurse passed in front of the gun Just as it
was fired In her arms was an infant.
The wad struck the child and it was in
stantly killed. After that the old Caulk's
Field cannon" was spiked and has ever
since been silent For years it lay In q
gutter. but a few years ago it was re-
painted and mounted. and is today the
most interesting war relic in the county
and occupies a conspicuous place near the
center OF the town.

a SYRIAN UNDER ARREST.
Alleged Theological Student ChnrE-
ell with Swindling Church People.

Winchester, Va, July "A young syr-
ian named Michael Shadid is under arrest
here on the charge of swindling The
warrant was sworn out by Rev. DR.. Henry
NJ. White. pastor of Loudoun Street Pres
byterian Church. on Saturday night, and
the young foreigner was arrested b. Chief
Seabright and lodged in jail Yesterday
he was released on bail for trial.
Shadid. several days ago. called upon
DR.. White and, exhibiting letters of intro
duction from prominent Presbyterian di-
vines all over the country, stated that he
desired to complete his education for mis-
sionary at Princeton Theological Seminary
aid during the summer was selling Syrian
trinkets to pay the expenses of tuition. AS
DIR. White was familiar with the hand
writing of some of the diyines who had
given Shadid letters of introduction, he
readily recommended him to his congre-
cation.
The young man was reaping an abun-
dant financial harvest until he sold 25-
cent glass pin for $3.50 to a lady on the
strength Of Dr.. Whites letter. She COM
planned to him and then many other COM
plants began to be received where worth
less jewelry had been represented as genu-
inc and high prices obtained DR.. White
then swore out the warrant charging the
Syrian with swindling and with selling
goods without a license. Shadid says he
is native Of Beyrout, Syria, and attended
the Bliss Protestant English Mission
School there, and in proof of it exhibits
letters from Missionary Bliss stating that
he was studying there for a missionary.
