WHERE IS I. LEHMAN?
WELL-KNoWN BUSINESS MAN
 HAS DISAPPEARED.
His Friends Say He Got Them to Cash Numerous Checks Satur- day Which They Claim are
 Worthless Papers.

Isadore Lehman, a commission broker
 well-known in business circles Tn Mont
 gomery, has left the city and his present
 address is unknown. Lehman, before
 leaving. it Is said. distributed among his friendly effective memontoes in the shape of numerous worthless checks, for which he received good money.
 Lehman's disappearance was small sensation in business circles yesterday. He was in Montgomery Saturday, and it
 was on that day, it is alleged, that he took advantage of his business friends to work off d batch of bogus checks. From the number of bad checks signed by Lehman, which turned up yesterday, he must have spent busy day Saturday in fpassinS all of them. The amount that he secured from his friends and business ac- quaintances is .variously estimated from $1 500 to S4.000.
 His plan of procedure was very simple. Saturday was legal holiday, it being Memo. ial Day. Lehman. it is said, would go to friend or business acquaintance, telling him that he had a check for which he needed the money badly, but all the banks were closed. If the friend would cash the check, Lehman told him that he was conferring a great favor upon him. These checks ranged in amount from Se5 to s150. Most of the worthless cheeks called for s25 or for s35.
 It is said that Lehman worked off no less than twelve or fifteen of these value less checks. He had formerly stood well In business circles and men who knew him had no hesitation in extending him the courtesy they would any reputable business man. In fact, Lehman's previous good standing in the business circles of Montgomery made the passing of the bad checks an easy matter.
 Lehman's office was in the second story of the building occupied by J. C. Haas & Co.,, on Tallapoosa and Lee Streets He was an energetic salesman and his com mission business appeared to prosper. Lehman, IL is claimed, had d fondness for speculation. He invested heavily. it Is said, in stocks and futures. and lately the market has been going against him. Those who knew him ha no hesitancv in attributing his business downfall to speculation. He got in debt and failure stared him in the face Then he under took the financial scheme which worked so successfully Saturday
 The remarkable feature of the case is the number of his personal friends who say that he induced them to cash worth- less checks. Some of his victims express the confidence that he will repay the money which he secured on bad checks.

An Object Lesson.

Huntsville Mercury.
 When Senator Hoar visited Charleston about year ago he changed his view on the negro question almost in a day When leading men of the North move to the South, they invariably accept the. South ern view of the negro question. the erefore It must be conceded that Representative
 Thompsons plan is not bad. He expects visit to the negroes at Booker Wash lngton's school, and then visit to a cot ton plantation to enlighten the distin- guishe1 visitors on the face question to affairs alone. There is no probability whatever of thn Crumpacker resolution coming to vote in Congress. but its existence even in pigeon hole is annoy ing, and if MT. Thompson has succeeded In devising a plan by which the present advocates of that policy can be silenced he has done well.

Music; an Unfortunate Influence


 The influence of music upon women of the upper classes I have sometimes thought to he very. positive quantity in describing their family relation. The great art of today is music. There is no city in the world where more music can he heard than in New York Concerts private musicales. the opera. numberless daily opportunities are given women of listening to this intensest language of emotion. Afternoon after afternoon audi ences of women sit listening to popular singers. Love songs are mostly what they hear, They arc continually under the influence of sentiment which. if it oe true, is the characteristic of youth, of passion of exception circumstances, and of unattained longing. This senti- ment. sung ad nauseam, is not that feel ing which gives strength or permanence to marriagc or honor and reverence to old age Yet these audiences are filled with theory of love which they are apt to exact from the busy men, their hus- bands. whom they find waiting for them on their return home. Plato said: When the modes of music change. morals change and I am sure that the appeal and influence of much of the music wo- men listen to in New York is unhealthy unreal. and disturbing Mir HoweIls once said to me The appeal of some music is infamous.

Bengal Tigers.

ot' 4NIVI1IFTdS.
 The man cate" is usually an older tiger, whose strength is failing and whose teeth have partly lost their slla rpness. Such a beast finds it easier to turk in the vicin- ity of settlements and to pick up an oc- casional man, woman. or child than to run down wild cattle.
 The largest, fiercest, and most brightly colored tigers are found in the Province of Bengal near the mouths of the Ganges River, and not far from Calcutta A full grown Bengal tiger sometimes measures ten feet from nose to tip of tail Such monster makes no more account of springing upon man than cat does of aeizins mouse. He surpasses the, lion in strength and ferocity. and has no rival among beasts of prey except the grizzly bear and the recently discovered giant bear of Alaska

DOUBLE FUNERAL TODAY.
Two Wearers of the Blue Buried I'm
Arlington Cemetery.


Taps were this afternoon sounded over
the remains of two veterans of the war of
the rebellion, when the last rites were pro-
nounced at Arlington at the double fune-
raj of Michael Lanhady and Philip War
ner. The obsequies were in charge Of Ju-
nior Vice Commander Judge Kimball G. A.
r. Both lives had been filed with incident,
and both deaths occurred about the same
time. Lanhady was known by reputation
to almost every policeman in the District,
as he was almost constant occupant of
the almshouse.
Michael Lanhady was born in Ireland and
came to Washington shortly before the
civil war. Although a skilled mechanic, he
fell a victim to drink early in life, and time
and again he was sent to the workhouse-
the penalty Of his fault. The sentences
were pronounced as rule by Judge KIM
pail, a former comrade in arms of the pris-
oner, who had no other alternative, as Lam
hady invariably pleaded guilty. But he re-
beiled against being claSsed as vagrant,
and would invariably fight such charge
to the bitter end when ii was made
AT one time Lanhady was well connected
In this city, but the last of his relatives,
his mother. died while he was serving
term in the workhouSe. When he died he
had neither home relatives nor friends.
The police knew but little of Philip War
ner, the other wearer of the blue. who died
at his home, $50 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, Wednesday afternoon. No ply
examination showed that death was caused
by consumption. The funeral of both vet
Grams took place from Lees undertak king
establishment at o'clock today.

INCREASED SUPPLY OF WATER.
Beneficial Results From Completion of
New Reservoirs.

As stated in The Star water was turned
into the city pipes from the Washington
city reservoir, situated near Howard Uni
versity, Wednesday afternoon, which re-
suited In an immediate increase of pres
sure throughout the higher level territory
OF the gravity system. In constructing the
outlet mains from the new reservoir, the
District water authorities arranged them so
that the greatest flow would be in the
direction of those points where an increased
pressure was most urgently needed. The
distributing reservoir in Georgetown con-
tlnues to serve great portion of the down.
town district of the city, and consequently
there was but little If any increase of pres
sure felt there
On Capitol Hill the residents were de-
lighted yesterday afternoon. Many of the
householders were not aware of the inten-
tion of the water authorities to turn on the
new supply, and when the water gushed
from their spigots with a force heretofore
unknown, they were not only startled, but
immensely delighted Not only did the water
come forth with great energy, but it was
also clear as crystal. Such was the case
over all the sections Immediately covered
by the larger distributing mains. The wa
ter in the Washington city reservoir was
taken from the river when the Potomac was
clear. There it has remained for nearly a
month, giving all the mud particles time to
settle to the bottom. 1t is estimated that
the supply of clear water will last for four
or five days. and then turbid Potomac wa
ter will again be flowing through the Hoxie
tunnel and into the reservoir
Mr.. w. A. Mcfarland, superintendent of
the water department.. today received re-
ports from the various testing parties which
he sent out to record the increase Of pres
sure due to the turning on of the new sup
ply. The official report shows that the
increase of pressure on Capitol Hill varied
at different points, ranging. from II to 16
feet. The increase on 10th and 11th streets
north of L street was even greater, the
range being between 16 and 20 feet In the
section paralleling 18th street, north of
Scott Circle the increase was IA feet. In
Georgetown an increased head of IL feet
was noted. The results, it is stated, are ex-
actly what was expected.
