DREAMER TO BE TAKEN HOME.
He VIII Probably he Turned Over to
Relatives Today.

James Creamer, the New York lawyer
who was taken into custody by the police
of the FirsL precinct late Monday night.
after he had been at liberty several hours,
is still prisoner at the station named. He
was released Monday afternoon from St.
Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane and turn
ed over 10 relatives, but escaped. He may
be surrendered TO relatives this morning.
when he will probably be taken 10 New
York city Mrs. Kate Pursell OF New
York reached this city Monday night 10
arrange for Creamers removal home.
About a month ago Dreamer came to
Washington and engaged apartments at the
Hotel Johnson. He was then in possession
of a large amount Of money. a check for
81. 500. payable TO himself. and several
bank books He is said TO have spent the
money recklessly. and his actions finally
caused the police TO place him under ar
rest. Subsequently he was examined by
surgeons Of the Police Department, who di-
rected his confinement in St. Elizabeth :
Asylum. His trouble was then diagnosed
as alcoholism.
The police took charge OF the effects OF
Dreamer and turned them over to a promi-
nent Government Official and a friend OF
the unfortunate man. When relatives of
Dreamer in New York were notified of his
whereabouts Mrs. Pursell came to Wash
ington and effected his release from the
asylum. Almost Immediately Creamer es-
capped from his escort.
Late last evening it was stated that
Charles o. Cooper, private secretary to the
Attorney General. would arrange 10 have
a guard appointed TO watch Dreamer un

THE BILLS DEFECTIVE.
Report of the Commissioners on the
Pneumatic Tube Project

The Commissioners yesterday sent re-
| ports TO the District Committees of both
houses of Congress on the bills referred to
them. providing for the laying of pneu-
matte tubes between the Capitol and the
Government Printing Office.
In their letters transmitting the reports
the Commissioners say that they are una
ware OF the desires of the authorities of
the Capitol building or OF the Government
Printing Office regarding the establishment
Of the pneumatic tube service between the
two buildings and they do not feel it to
be within their province TO report on this
phase of the subject
The Commissioners. however. invite at
tention TO the language used in Senate bill
327S and House bill s62s. in which the
commission named in the bills is au-
thorized Ito designate the streets. ave
nues, and public grounds through which
pneumatic tubes shall be laid. and to pre-
scribe such other conditions and require
ments as may seem reasonable to them to
impose" Another section Of the bills. say
the Commissioners, contains similar pro-
vision, stating that said officers are en-
powered 10 consent TO the opening of such
streets. avenues. public ways, or public
grounds, as may in their opinion be neces-
sary by the person or corporation to whom
the contract may be awarded" With ref
erence 10 these provisions the Commits
sioners are of the opinion that specific
routes should be named in the bills Word
ed as they now are. the bills authorize the
commission named TO pass upon indef-
mite extensions Of the system, and also
clothe the commission with many duties
now exercised by the Commissioners of the
District OF Columbia, which. it is believed.
should remain under their jurisdiction.
For instance. say the Commissioners. Il IS
believed that they should retain the right
10 prescribe the location OF any construc-
tion in the public streets, the manner in
which the work shall be carried on. and
the restoration of the streets to proper
condition after the work is completed, leav-
ing to the officials in charge of public
buildings and grounds the same rights
within their boundaries.
The Commissioners emphasize the fact
that the bills are carelessly drawn. aud
if they are to receive favorable considera-
ton they should be modified and rewritten
However, as the main features Of the
project relate TO matters outside the juris-
diction OF the Commissioners they do not
feel called upon to indicate the changes
which In their judgment ought TO be made
On House bill 219l the Commissioners
suggest that If the pneumatic service con-
templated IN the measure Is desired N
would be advisable to allow competition in
the construction rather than TO award the
work by Law to a particular company. The
bill under consideration, they say, would
not permit competition.
Furthermore. the Commissioners hold
that the bill is TOO vague and indefinite in
its present form TO be safely enacted into
law. and they are OF the opinion that it
should be carefully rewritten and proper
safeguards inserted before final action Is
taken

FLETCHER'S LIFE IN DANGER.
Hospital Physicians Regard His Re-
cOvery ms Doubtful.

The condition of Edwin H. Fletcher,
sixty-three years old, who attempted
suicide by inhaling Illuminating gas at the
home OF his daughter Mrs. R. II. Talbot,
935 C Street southwest, early yesterday
morning, was reported as critical at the
Emergency Hospital late last night.
Fletcher lives at The Plains Va. and
came to this city to visit his daughter on
Saturday last. He was accompanied by his
wife. who has been a sufferer from stomach
trouble for some years. They spent Sun
day and Monday at the Talbot home. Mrs.
Fletcher was placed under the care of
physicians, who stated that an operation
would probably be necessary TO save her
life
After consulting the physicians Fletcher
became Respondent and upon returning
from a visit to his wife at Columbia Hos
pital. he was greatly depressed. He re-
tired early Monday night, and nothing was
heard from him until his door was finally
forced shortly after S o'clock yesterday
morning. Then Mr.. Fletcher was found in
an unconscious condition and was removed
in haste to the hospital. Mrs Fletcher has
not been informed OF her husbands con-
diton.

tied coinage OF silver at the ratio of 16 to
by this country alone and OF not waiting
for its adoption by any other country"
Mr.. Allen was proceeding with an elab-
Grafton of his views, when he was inter-
rupted by Mr.. Turner, who had yielded to
him, and who reminded him that it was
personal statement for which he had
yielded and not a speech.
Mr.. Allen did not resume his remarks,
but he was followed by Mr.. Butler, who
said he desired TO make a statement con-
corning a similar matter. He complained
that he. too. had been misrepresented in
the published report OF his statement at the
time TO which Mr.. Allen alluded. This re-
port stated that Mr. Butler evaded a di-
rect answer TO a question as TO whether or
not he was in favor of the free and unlim
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 TO l.
He declared that there had been no such
evasion on his part. and said he wanted to
make the statement that he was in favor of
the free coinage of gold and silver at a
ratio of f6 to l by the United States, indie
pendent of any other nation.
Mr.. AIdrich Takes Part.
Mr.. Aldrich, who was the third party in
the colloquy referred to. said he had asked
the Senator from North Carolina six or
N'6ht Aiihes Al ne was III 1aNOE OF the Tree
and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio
OF 10 to l by the United States alone, and
had not received a direct answer
He remarked sarcastically that he had
expected the Senator from North Carolina
would. on further reflection conclude tina;
he was in favor Of the free coiusge OF sill
yer by the United States alone.
MIR. Butler broke in with the angry re-
mark that that was not a fair statement.
Il am very glad Mr.. Aldrioh contin-
ued, without noticing the interruption,
that the Senator has made that state
ment explicitly"
Il made the statement explicitly last
Tuesday" said Mr. Butler.
Il asked the Senator several times, Mr.
Aldrich went on, whether he was in favor
of the free coinage of silver by the United
States alone and / am glad he is now able
TO give me a corrected answer"
The Senator from Rhode Island" Mr.
Butler again broke in, makes a state
ment that is not true. II is not right for
him 10 rise and say that | have now cor
rected the statement which | then made"
Mr.. Aldrich replied: Il cannot find in
the Record a statement by the Senator on
that occasion. that he was in favor of the
flee coinage of silver by the United States
alone"
Further discussion was prevented by Mr.
Turner taking the floor for his speech on
the Porto Rican bill.
After short executive session the Sem
ate, at S:20 adjourned until today.
