REPORT DIsCREDITED.
Police Do Not Believe Irwin Jones
Was Kidnapped.

was kidnapped.
Late last night the police were requested
to look out for Irwin E. Jones, twenty years
old, who left his home, No. S16 II street
northeast. about II o'clock In the morning
and failed to return. His mother Mrs.
Flora Jones, conducts an undertaking es-
Establishment at the number stated Because
of the alleged peculiar circumstances con-
nected with the case, Mrs. Jones expressed
the belief this morning that her son had
been kidnapped. Lieut.. Daley of the ninth
precinct, to whom the report was made
detailed two policemen on the case, and
they are looking for the young man.
The police do not believe Jones was kid
naped. and it is their opinion that he will
return home shortly. Yesterday morning
he left his home with several companions
and rode his bicycle to farm near the
Benning race track. 1t was about II o'clock
when he returned. He asked his mother if
he might go to work for a man whom he
had met near 18th and H streets northeast
Irwin informed his mother he had prospects
of getting a good-paying position with this
man. His prospective employer, he said
was driving and had advised him to get
his overcoat. 1t was for the purpose of
getting his overcoat, as well as for getting
his mothers consent to accept the position
that he went home after his interview with
the strange man.
After the boys departure stranger
called at the undertaking establishment
and informed Mrs. Jones her son had been
kidnapped. A sign on the vehicle in which
young Jones went away showed 1t was the
property of a lightning rod firm. Today a
Star reporter learned that the lightning
rod man had employed a young man yes
terday and gone with him to do some work
at Marlboro. There seems to be no doubt
that Jones Is the young man who went
with him.
Mrs. Jones this afternoon received a let
ter, mailed at station B, East Capitol and
4th streets at II o'clock this morning,
which reads:
Dear Madam:
I'VE guess you are fully aware by this
time that your son Irwin has been kid
naped. The guy who came after him was
one of the gang and we have future use
for your son. and we have for Willie Nc
Cormick. now in our hands. You may ex-
pect never to see your son again. You can
give the letter to the police If you want
but will have shipped before that from the
gang. The Washington police are cinch
From the gang"
1t is apparent that the letter was writ
ten by a man who made an effort to dis
guise his handwriting. Probably fearing
Mrs. Jones would not turn the letter over
to the police, some one interested in the
affair telephoned the police that Mrs. Jones
had a message for them. An officer went
to the house and was given the letter 1t
is believed by the police that a neighbor of
Mrs. Jones wrote the letter. intending it as
a Joke.

ENGLAND's RECENT BEEF DECREE.
An,ba ssador Choate Has Not Yet Been
Heard From.

Ambassador Choate has not yet been
heard from in reply to the inquiry OF the
Department of State relative to the action
taken by the British authorities upon the
exclusion of certain kinds of American
meat. But since the inquiry was made the
urgency of the matter appears to be some
what relieved by explanations given IN
press cables and emanatng from the Of
fetal authorities lin London. These show
that the exclusion was in no sense general.
but was confined to one article used by the
British war office. Under these circum-
stances the officials here attach less impor-
lance to the matter than II seemed to war
rant when first made known.

Judge Cox Protests.

Judge Walter s. Cox has protested to the
District Commissioners against favorable
action by them upon an application made
to them several days ago for permission
to establish a shooting gallery at the cor
ner Of 18th and I streets, diagonally oppo-
site his residence. II cannot imagine"
says Judge Cox, that such an application
can be entertained by you for a moment.
Such an affair in the heart of a first-class
residence neighborhood would be an intol-
cradle nuisance, against which the whole
neighborhood would protest.
