AGUINALDO MAY COME.
Former Insurgent Leader at Liberty
to Go Where He Pleases.

1t is again reported that Aguinaldo the
erstwhile insurgent chieftain, is about to
make visit to the United States, and that
he may deliver a series of lectures on the
Philippines for the purpose of meeting his
expenses. A letter was recently received
a the War Department from member of
the so called Anti Imperialistic League
asking if there was any official reason why
Aguinaldo should not come to the United
States, now that he is at liberty.
The department in reply sent the CORE
spondent a copy of the Presidents am
nesty proclamation granting freedom to
captured Filipinos who took the oath of al
'legiance to the United States. Inasmuch
as Aguinaldo has subscribed to all the re-
quirements of the amnesty proclamation,
the action of the department in regard to
the application is assumed to mean that he
is at liberty to go where he pleases. The
insurgent leader is said to be studying the
English language, with a view to prepar-
ing himself for visit to this country but
there is official information on that
point He was living quietly at Cavite at
last accounts.

MR.. kocHEFoRT's SYSTEM.
The French Inventor is Visiting the
Citv

Washington has an interesting visitor this
week in the person of Octave Rochefort OF
Paris, the son Of the distinguished journal
ist, Henri Rochefort. who, it will be remem-
bered. edited the famous La Lanterne dur
ing the reign of Napoleon III.
Mr. Rochefort is in Washington for the
purpose of initiating the officials Of the
Navy Department into the use Of certain
wireless telegraphy apparatus, which is be-
ing tested by the bureau of equipment and
of which he is the inventor. Mr.. Rochefort
is the inventor of the system of wireless
telegraphy now in general use by the
French government and which bears the
name of an officer in the French army.
The same system is in use in Austria,
Germany and other European countries
but in each country it bears the name Of
some military officer of that country, that
being the means by which Mr.. Rochefort
seeks to popularize his system. He explains
that it is a qualification to national pride
for each country to adopt system in
vented by one of Its own citizens, and,
therefore, he makes some slight changes
system in each country shall be given the
name of such officer as the military admin
istration may direct.
He claims that there are now in practi-
cal use over sixty stations, all of which
use the system of which he is the in
Ventor.
Commanders Arnold, Dyer and Badger,
and Lieutenants Beecher and Hudgins OF
the Navy Department are now engaged in
inspecting the apparatus with which the
test of wireless telegraphy between An
napolis and Washington will be made, as
sisted by Mr.. Rochefort. The actual test
will be made at an early date.

FAILS TO MAKE THE TURN.
"John Browns" Mobile Dashes Over
Curb Into Lafayette Park.

The fact that a man who gave his name
as John Brown when he was arrested last
night and forfeited IS collateral in the
Police Court today on charge of trespass-
ing excited no particular comment such
occurrences being not uncommon. 1t was
learned on investigation, however, that the
name was assumed and that John Brown
is no other than prominent official of the
District government.
John Brown, as the official designated
himself when he reached the station house,
has lately taken to automobling, and last
night he went out for spin on the smooth
concrete streets of the city. After run in
the northwest section he turned into 10th
street going south.
1t was his intention to turn into Fl street
from 18th street at Lafayette Square, but
the momentum of the machine was 50 great
that the proposed turn was not successful.
The vehicle jumped the curbing and passed
over the sidewalk and through the bushes
into Lafayette Park, where it was finally
brought to stop behind bench upon
which a young lady and gentleman were
seated.
At this point park watchman put in an
appearance and Informed John Brown that
it would be necessary for him to deposit
collateral at the station house, which was
done. No damage resulted in the trip
through the park.

MORGAN BEHIND DEAL
BID FOR THE AMERICAN SHIP
BUILDING COMPANY.
Its Purchase Would Mean Control Of
the Business on the Great
Lakes.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. August 16-The
Plain-Dealer today says:
A definite offer has been made for the
stock of the American Shipbuiding Com
pany, and the directors are considering the
matter. Their reply will be given the first
of next month, when they meet in special
session.
The man behind the deal is ]. Pierpont
Morgan.
The present transaction will strike at the

Shlpouilding Company, with its head
quarters in Cleveland, owns construction

Is valued at $15, 900, 900, with an extra re-

the eastern people is not only to set con-
troll OF the American Shipbulding Com
pany business, but eventually of that of
other large concerns so as to pra actically
monopoliZe the entire business from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi, and undoubted-
ly in the end all trade from ocean to

Two days ago representa- tives of the east

the American Shipbuilding Company took

vanced from s49.25 to s54.25. 1t was known
by those of the inner circle that a propo-
s1tlon was contemplated. 1t came yester-
day. The representatives of the eastern
trust came with the intention of buying
and made their offer to the American Ship
building Company. 1t was to buy all their
stocks with a generous amount OF extra

FETE A GREAT SUCCESS.
Gen. Torrance and Staff Among the
Guests

The lawn fete given last evening by the
patriotic organizations of women of sAe
District on the old Holmead Mano'
grounds was magnificent success. Il will
be continued this evening and probably
through Monday and Tuesday evenings OF
next week.
The feature of last evening was the
presence of Gen. Torrance, commander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army of the Republic.
He was escorted by Col. John McElroy,
senior vice Commander-ir-chief. and ac-
companied by Gen. Burrows. Gen. Towler,
Gen. Scott and his chief of staff, Col. Noel
Brakeman.
Accompanying the distinguished party
We're Past Department Commanders Marion
T. Anderson and Israel Stone, and Captain
o. H. Oldroyd. Captain Taylor. captain
Walker. commander Of Lincoln Post. and
some twenty other veterans Of the Depart
ment of the Potomac.
General Torrance was cordially greeted
by Mrs. Ida ~ Oldroyd president of the
Department of Potomac, Woman's Relief
Corps, and Mrs. Annie w. johnson, past
department president. A line was then
formed. and for half an hour Mrs. Oldroyd
introduced the veterans and other guests
at the fete to the general and his staff.
The distinguished veterans then paid their
respects to the other organizations repre-
sented on the grounds and FASTENED back to
the city to attend the business meetings.
The playing of the Second Cavalry Band,
led by Bandmaster John W. Scully. was one
of the other attractive features Of the
evening. without which the fete would have
been tame indeed
The airs were popular, many of them pa
triotic melodies and very often the band
playing was accompanied by full chorus
of voices singing the words to the familiar
airs.
The Armat moving pictures were a source
of unendng delight They could be
seen equally we'll from back or front of the

VICTIM OF ASSAULT.
Man Prominently Unidentified With
Law and Order Teaoue

Chesapeake Junction was the scene of a
bold assault last night The victim was
former resident of this city, but who has
lived in Prince Georges county for several
years. He Is said to be a democra tic
politician and an ardent supporter of Ar
thur P. German. He was assaulted, it is
alleged, by man who has been deeply in
terested in the gambling business at one of
the junction resorts.
1t is claimed by people about the junction
that the party assaulted has been promi-
nently identified with the people who have
been doing their utmost to break up some
of the gambling places. When the Mary
land constables appeared upon the scene
the alleged assailant took refuge on this
side of the line, where he knew he could
not be molested.
This assault, it is stated, is only one of
number of such affairs which are Sched-
uled to take place about the junction be-
tween now end the time for holding the
fall session of the county court
Included among those who have been Sc
lected to be roughly handled, it Is statd are
several of the persons who are members
of the law and order league in the county
who have been working so hard to bring
about an improved condition of affairs
about the junction. Several outside per-
sons became involved in the affair last
night before the trouble was over. War
rants will probably not be sworn out for
the alleged violators of the law, and the
case may be investigated by the grand jury

says:
The mortality for the month of May
was 5SS, June $40. July 5S4. May was the
