INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
Authorities to Inquire Why Sick Man
Was Sent to This City.

TIL, authorities Of the Casualty Hospital
reported to the board of charities today for
investigate the case of William Brown,
colored, who is a charity patient at that in
stitution. 1t is alleged that Brown was
shipped to this city by the authorities of
Cumberland, Md, instead Of being placed
in the hospital there.
The patient is twenty-three years Of age,
and says his home is at Roanoke. Va. He
has been employed as railroad labOrer in
the vicinity of Cumberland, where he be-
came seriously Ill. His ailment has been
diagnosed by the physicians of the Casualty
Hospital as bronchial pneumonia, and his
condition is considered to be critical
Brown reached this city last night on a
Baltimore and Ohio train and was removed
to the institution named.
1t appears from the colored mans state
ment that when he became too i'll to con-
tinue his work he was taken in by a COL
ored family at Cumberland. When his con-
ditiOn became more serious. he says, a
Cumberland policeman called to see him.
and later the policeman took up collec-
ton among the white folks to send him
to Washington.
Browns temperature this morning was
1912. and it is believed his chances for re-
covery are doubtful.

Adverse Report Made.

An adverse report has been made to the
District Commissioners by w. p. Richards,
assistant engineer in charge of street eX-
tension matters, on Senate bill 4o76, pro-
viding for the construction of a sea wall
end grand boulevard from the old naval
observatory site around the Potomac flats
and across the Anacostia river. Mr. Rich
ards says the bill is indefinite in It's
statement of locations and of the amount
Of money to be expended under its provi-
sions. He says the bill is an unusual one
in its suggestions as to the manner of
meeting the expense involved. He is of
the opinion also that any Improvement of
the Anacostia flats should be in accord
arce with the plans of the parking COM
mission, and that the work should be done
under the authorities having present juris-
diction over the Potomac flats improve

CLEARING CHURCHES OF DEBT.
Advisory Committee of Laymen Sub
mitS a Plan

The advisory committee of laymen of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of the city, ap-
pointed to devise plan for paying off the
debts all the churches of that denOmi-
nation in Washington. held meeting last
night at Foundry Church, Rev. ]. D. Crois
SAINT presiding ana Mr.. Edwin Williamson,
secretary. The meeting was enthusiastic
and the committee has strong hopes that
Washington Methodism will soon be out of
debt
The plan for raising the one-third of the
indebto dness, to. be furnished by the COM
mttee, is by subscriptions, as outlined in
scme resolutions, which were adopted, which
recte that this advisory committee pro-
ceed to obtain subscriptions equal to one
third the total mortgage indebtedness and
other indebtedness incurred in building or
improving church and parsonage property,
prior to March 1, 1902, to be paid within
three years in six semi-annual payments:
provided, that as soon the subscriptions
tcr the above amount shall be obtained the
official boards of all the churches be COM
municated with and NE proposition be sub
mitted to them, that II they will provide
for the payment of two-thirds of their re-
spective debts within the three years, this
committee will furnish one-third; and, pro-
vided further that none of the subscrlp-
tions shall be binding until the full amount
has been subscribed. The first payment to
become due and payable thirty days after
notice from the secretary that the full
amount has been subscribed and the plan
of the committee approved by official boards
OF the churches in debt

FOUNDRY CHURCH PLANS.
Members viii Have to Select Site for
New Home,

Mr. L. F. Walsh. who recently purchased
the Foundry NJ E. Church property for
*1o5,ooO announced yesterday that he would
receive bills today for tearing down the
structure preparatory to the erection of
large ofhc. building on the site. AS result
or that announcement a special meeting of
the quarterly conference Of Foundry Church
was held There last night to take definite
and Immediate steps to secure a suitable
site for their new church With this end In
view a committee of three, consisting of
DR.. l.. B. Wilson. Mr.. B. H. Stinemetz and
Mr.. T. E. :Sewell, was chosen to appoint
further committee of five or seven persons
who SHOULD select site and report to the
quarterly conference at it's meeting Satur-
day night. This committee will not have
authority to choose the location without
approval If the board.
For sons days rumor has been current
that St: Fauls NJ. E. Church, at 18th and
X streets northwest, had submitted a prop
os1t1on, the tenor Of which was for the
FOUNDRY congregation to unite with that
church The matter was not clearly un-
derstood. however, by the members of the
quarterly conference last night and a COM
mittee of three was appointed to confer
with representatives from the ST. Paul or
ganization. and ascertain definitely just
what is proposed. The three persons ap-
pointed by the conference are Messrs Will
Sewell.
Several members Of the church at the
meeting last night stated In their opinion
it was no. likely that the CONGREGATIONS
Will consolidate. as st. Paul's congregation
would most probably wish the united BODY
to go under the name Of st. Pauls Church,
and the Foundry people are unwilling to
lose their IDENTITY, ma. ntained now for so
many years
1t was stated as the personal opinion Of
several tha. the location of the new church
will be somewhere east of Rock creek and
west OF 1;'th street, the most likely sites
being In the vicinity Of Dupont circle or
Rhode ISLAM avenue, or Connecticut ave-
nue. at about 10th street so as to be easi-
ly accessible to the car lines, but sufi-
ciently removed to avoid interruption from
passing cars.
The location as yet Is matter of I'M
certainty, and nothing definite can be af-
frmed. 1t is probable, however, that the
congregation will worship with some other
church for a time, next Sunday being the
last day they will be permitted to occupy
the present building.

variety, interest efelicitous arrangement,
seriousness and scompetent Interpretation
the program last night surpassed any pre-
vious attempt Of Mr.. Rakemann's admir-
able quartet and ranked 1t well with the
best string organisations ever heard here
The audience was large and most enthu-
siastic.
A quartet in B fat major, by Mozart.
was the initial number. 1t was performed
by the regular members of the Quartet-Mr
Rakemann as first violin. Mr.. Oswald Weltt
as second violin, Mr.. Joseph F1nckel as
viola, Mr.. Wenceslao Villalpando as cello.
The work represents the great genius at his
best and grows in beauty as 1t progresses
through an allegro vivace assai movement
and a menuetto movement to deep and
harmonious adagio. The allegro assai, with
which 1t concludes, has a reminiscent touch
OF the first movement and is an effective
finale. The quartet played the four move
ments IN nne style particularly the adagio.
ana the discrimination Of the audience was
manifested by the most pronounced ap-
pause When the players retired
Mrs Benson, whose clear, rich soprano is
now well known in Washington, appeared
TO something of a disadvantage. her voice
being Ettle affected by the bad weather.
The desire of her hearers to have her
render something more expressive than the
waltz song from Romeo and Juliet" pro-
Foked an imperative demand for an encore.
to which. however, Mrs. Benson refused to
respond.
The quartet, with Mr.. E. H. Droop at the
piano. gave for it's second number the
scherzo from Tschaikowsky's "Andante
Cantabile," op. II. Then came the climax
OF the concert-Beethoven's matchless ro-
NAME In G major. with Mr.. Rakemann as
the soloist, Mr.. Droop at the piano and Mr..
Stearns playing second violin. 1t Is suffi-
cient to say that this deeply harmonious
composition was given a true and adequate
Interpretation and was applauded for fully
nVe minutes. Indeed the favor of the au-
d1ence amounted almost to an ovation,
which was all the more gratifying because
1t was entirely deserved. The concert
closed with two beautiful trios for Mr..
Rakemann. Mr.. Villalpando and Mr.. Droop
-Nachez's Evening Song and Chabrier' s
Espana'--whi proved very fitting con-
Guiding Offering.
