A BOY ACCUSED OF FORGERY.
Formerly Employed by the Board of
ChiIdren's Guardians.

Marion Bladen, a neatly dressed youth,
who gave his age as fourteen years, was
arrested last night near the corner of
Sixth and L Streets southeast, upon a
charge of forgery preferred against him
by John w. Douglas, member of the
Board of Childrens Guardians. BIadeu
was for some time engaged by Mr.. Dou-
glas as an Office boy. but was discharged
last Tuesday.
After having severed his connection with
Mr.. Douglas it is alleged that the youth
on Friday last drew up a check for S25,
to which he signed Mr.. Douglas name.
The check was presented at the Saks
stores, where it was promptly cashed-
When the check was sent by the Saks
company to Mr.. Douglas bank it was
pronounced a forgery, and steps were
taken q once to have the fOrger arrested.
Suspicion rested, it is said, upon the
youth, who Immediately after cashing the
check took trip to CluanticO, returning
to this city Sunday night. Policeman
Dent was detailed upon the case. He
located Bladen near the corner Of Sixth
and L Streets southeast. The young Of
fender was taken to the station, and
after having his name entered on the blot
ter was sent TO the House of Detention to
await hearing.
When questioned last night young Bla-
den admitted his guilt, but could give no
reasons for his action. A part of the
money was recovered by Policeman Dent.

HELD UP BY THE GYPSIES.
A Virginia school Girl Robbed Near
the Chain Bridge.

While on her way to school about 8
o'clock yesterday morning Miss Blanche
Ferguson. of Langley, Va. was held up
by a band of gypsies at a point about
three-quarters of mile from the south
end of the Chain Bridge and robbed of
her pocketbOok containing 81 in cash and
six car tickets. She was alone at the time
and although she made an outcry no one
was in the vicinity to come to her as
sistance. The maraud are said to be-
long to the band of gypsies that have re-
Gently gained considerable notOriety by
reason of their alleged connection with
the kidnapping of Willie Mccormick. They
were formerly camped in Alexandria
County, about mile beyond the south
end of the Long Bridge, but broke camp
at that point Sunday afternoon and

Cured
Miss Ferguson, who lives with her sis
ter at Langley has been attending the
Curtis School on . Street, between Ihlr-
ty-second and Thirty-third Streets, dur
ing the past winter. In good weather II
has been her custom to walk from her
home across the Chain Bridge 10 the
north bank of the river, where she boards
the Great Falls electric line for George
town. Yesterday she left the house at
her usual hour, and had reached point
at the top of the hin overlooking the
river about three-quarters of a mile from
the bridge, when she noticed the gypsy
camp. At the same instant a gypsy wo-
man approached her and asked if she
wished her fortune told. Miss Ferguson
declined to have her fortune told and at
tempted to walk on. The woman tried 20
detain her. The girl succeeded in break
ing away from the woman and was hur-
rying down the road when she was sur
rounded by six other gypsies. who took
her pocketbook from her, and after
searching her for vaiuables permitted her
to depart.
Miss Ferguson almost ran to the city,
and when she arrived al the school build
ing was in u highly nervous and excited
state. After resting few moments she
told her teacher of her experience.
B. r Janney, the Superintendent Of
Public Schools for the Fifth Division, was
notified and Immediately informed the po-
lice of the occurrence, but as the affair
had not taken place within the jurisdtc-
ton of the District, the authorities
were unable to take any action, other than
to notify the sheriff of Fairfax County.

1t was late in the day when the girl re-
turned home and communicated to her
people the news of the hold-up- The re
port of the robbery spread rapidly, how
ever. and the whole neighborhoOd was
soon in a state Of excitement, and fears
were entertained for the safety Of the
gypsies.
Miss Ferguson fears that she may be
unable to identify her assailants, as she
says she was very badly frightened. and

party dazzled her

TIE ALMAs TEMPLE BANQUET.
Nine Candidates Initiated Into Mys-
teries of the Shriners.

At National Rifles Armory last night
nine candidates were initiated into the
mysteries of the Ancient Arabic Order of
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine. AfterWard
novitiates and members Of Almas Temple
TO the number of nearly six hundred re-
gaIed themselves at the monthly banquet
which always follows the Introduction Of
the candidates into the order.
The candidates We're conducted across
the sands in approved fashion and
emerged from the ordeal in condition
which enabled them to successfully with
stand the milder amusement which ac-
companed the repast. The banquet was
served in the drill hall. Six tables run
ming the entire length of the han afforded
seating accommodation for $50 guests, and
there was not single seat left vacant.
z. b Hay acted as POSTMASTER He was
seated at a long table at the head of the
hall. At the same table We're seated the
high officials of Almas Temple, wearing
the red fez of the order.
After the tables were cleared Colonel
Hay called upon J. A Tanner, one of the
newly initiated, to express the sentiments
of the novitiates Mr. Tanner replied
briefly, expressing the satisfaction he felt
at having passed safely through the or
deal TO which he had recently been sub
jected
The recital by Colonel Hay of a story

j. w. Eckles the next speaker, sentiments
which aroused his auditors TO a high pitch
of enthusiasm. He said that he had the
honor of being associated prominently
with the a. +. a, which now seemed to
have served its purpose, namely, that of
protecting the free speech, free religion,
and free schools, which are the bulwark
of this country. He further said that he
still felt and was not afraid TO speak the
sentiments of the order, which was that
Of defence of American citizenship against
the Vaccinations of a secret power which
if it had it's way, would not permit free
religion, free speech nor free schools.
The speaker brought his remarks to a
close amid tremendous applause.
The next speaker was Prof. Murch who
was introduced as the shortest man in
Georgetown He replied in a happy vein
and by way Of contrast John G. Lacey
was introduced as the tailest man in
Georgetown Among others who spoke
briefly were Frank Mitchell of PhladeI-
phia, S II. Walker, and Harrison Ding
man. The latter referred TO the rapid
growth Of Almas Temple and pointed out
that the recorders rolls showed a member

THE SEARCH BEING PUSHED.
Local Detectives Hunting for the

the kidnapped boy Willie Mccormick, ten
years old who lived with his parents at

of New York is still in the city. Hannah
and Lizzie Michel. says the New York
detective, were brought to this city from
the gypsy camp between this city and
Alexandria, Va, and taken to the horse
bazar, Louisiana Avenue, near Tenth
Street northwest, where one of the girls
claims she found the slip of paper bear
ing the name Gertrude" d twelVe-year-
old sister of the missing Mccormick boy.
1t is understood nobody about the bazar
was able to remember having seen the
girls as having been there before
Every effort to locate Mr.. Michel, the
father of Hannah and Lizzie Michel, who
has mysteriously disappeared, has failed.
The detectives appear interested in this
phase of the investigation, and are trying
to find some clue to his whereabouts. This
is in line with the theory that the slip
of paper taken from Hannah Michel last
Friday afternoon may have direct bear
ing on the kidnapping Of young McCor-
mick There are those who believe the
boy may have been spirited away from
the camp across the river before the visit
of the detectives. and with this possibility
in view, the search for Michel will be
pushed.
Detective O'ConneH made a report over
the ong-distance telephone last night to
Captain Titus. at New York. Among
other things. he told his chief that he
was working hard; that the investigation
was going on satisfactorily, and that he
looked for results within a short period.

have reported to New York that this
gypsy had with him d boy who answered
In part the description of the Mccormick
youth. Moreover, it is said. the detective
reported that the gypsy returned the day
following to the depot without the boy
with his beard shaved and his appearance
