.LAUNDRYMEN SPENT
DAY IN SIGHTSEEING
Will Elect Officers at This
Mornings Session.

The delegates and visitors to the an
nual convention of the Laundrymen' 5
National Association spent yesterday in
sightseeing.
Nearly 400 are in the city for the big
meeting, and these journeyed in the fore
noon to Mount Vernon to see the home
and tomb of Washington. majority
of the laundrymen went down on the
boat at 10 o'clock, but many took the
electric ears, stopping off at Alexandria
for an inspection of Christ Church,
which Washington attended. Arriving
at Mount Vernon the party broke up into
little groups and scattered about the
spacious grounds. They returned to
Washington singly. in twos and threes.
and in small parties and spent the at
ternoon visiting points of interest in
the National Capital. No formal pro-
gram was carried out, but each went
where he pleased.
This morning the final business ses-
sion will be held in the Raleigh banquet
room. Officers for the ensuing year will
be elected and the place of meeting of
the next convention will be decided upon.
Milwaukee and Kansas City are the
most formidable candidates.

however, is that the Republicans will

RESET STONES HELD
BY CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
Cleveland Woman Appeals
to Treasury Department.

An interesting technical question has
been brought to the attention of the
United States customs officials in New
York city by the action of Collector
Nevada H. Stranahan. of the customs
office, in seizing diamond necklace
belonging to Mrs. c. S. Chadwick. wife
of wealthy physician OF Cleveland,
Ohio
Some time ago Mrs. Chadwick was
abroad with her husband. Her son was
taken sick in Cleveland and she re-
turned to this country. After declaring
and paying duty on $4,000 or $4,000
worth of jewelry she told the customs
officials that she was bringing back a
had been reset while she was abroad.
1t was admitted free of duty Her son
recovered, but in the meantime her hus-
band had been taken Ill in Brussels and
Mrs. Chadwick started for Europe
again. She was detained In New York
by Collector Stranahan. who had
learned about the reset necklace, and
told to produce the stones This wa.
done and they are now held by Mr..
stranahan awaiting the decision of the
Treasury Department as to whether duty
may be collected on them.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
spalding, under whose Jurisdiction the
customs Office comes. had not received
official information of the case last
evening. pending the arrival of which
he declined to discuss the question.

INCOMPLETE GRADES
PREVENT SEWER WORK
Commissioners Rescind Order of 1897
Relating to Property on K
Street Southeast.

The District Commissioners yesterday
disposed of a piece of public work or
dered in 1897. The Health officer served
notice on the owner of premises 633 X
Street southeast to connect with the
public sewer and water main. 1t was
then discovered that the alley in square
SS1, in which the property is located, was
not graded and was without sewer. The
Commissioners accordingly ordered the
grading of the alley and the laying OF
the sewer.
The Computing Engineer reported to
the Commissioners that the work had
not been undertaken on account of the
grades that would have to be followed
He was of the opinion that the alley
system in the square might be changed
by subsequent subdivision OF the prop
erty. Accordingly he recommended that
the order for the work be rescinded and
the work indefinitely postponed.

SUCCESS
PREDICTED BY EXPERTS

districting the States care was taken by
the Republican managers to give their
party a probable gain of nineteen OF
the increased members provided for
leaving the Democrats ten additional
safe districts.
1t other words, the Republicans, IN
ordinary circumstances, gain nineteen
seats and the Democrats ten, thus leaving
the margin of party advantage proper
ticnately about what it is now.
Control Next House.
carry every district which they had rea-
son to expect they would carry when
the reapportinrment act was passed
they will control in the next House 900
seats. Figuring on like basis Of prob
abilities. the Democrats would have in
the next House 166 seats. This would
give the Republicans majority of fifty
four seats. Their present majority Is
forty five.
The Democrats. then, must gain at
least twenty eight seats. or the major
fraction of fifty-four, in order to get
bare majority of one. The estimate
here presented gives them only seven
more seats than they need to get con-
troll of the House. II the twenty nine
new members were not added the Demo
Gratis would have TO take from the Re-
publicans only twenty-three districts in
order to gain control of the House.
The estimated gain Of thirtyfive gives
the Democrats n total of POI seats in
the next House and the Republicans 1855
"a Democratic majority of sixteen.

1--WE honor today a man whose active
public service was rendered nearly q
hundred years ACCIDENT G.. Orr
who was mayor of the city of Washing
ton from June. 1917, to June, 1919. In
those two years as the chief executive
officer of the then small Capital City,
he established his right to the honor we
pay him today. We do we'll to name
this building for an honorable gentle
man who left good record as a public
servant and public-spirited citizen.
Those who live in the immediate neigh

have inspiration already in the fact that
it was named for Major Twining, one of
the best of the Engineer Commissioners
of the District of Columbia. If his name
had not boon given before IN school

would undoubtedly have been given to

VICTORY FOR UNITED
STATES AT THE HAGUE
Mexico Must Pay Interest on
the Pious Fund.
TRIBUNALS FIRST CASE
TRIBUNALS FIRST CASE
American Republics Lead Way in Car
rying Out Provisions of Peace
Conference.

News that the permanent tribunal of
arbitration had decided the Pious Fund
case in favor of the United States and
against Mexico was received at the
State Department yesterday in the fol-
lowing dispatch to William L. Penfeld,
solicitor of the department, and one of
the United States counsel, who is in
Paris:
All our contentious involved in res
judicata are sustained by the tribunal
and the full amount of the claim is
awarded
before the permanent tribunal, and
qualification was expressed that Two
American republics had led the way in
carrying out the provisions of the treaty
adopted by The Hague peace conference.
History of the Fund.
The Pious Fund was established in
the seventeenth century by philanthropic
persons in Spain to provide for the re-
ligious education of the Indians of Cali
fornia. After Mexico attained her indie
pendence of Srain, the Mexican gov
eminent took charge of the fund and
agreed to pas interest upon it at the
rate OF per cent annually, this in
terest to be applied to the support of
the California missions. AS a result
of the Mexican war the territory COM
prising the Mexican province of Cali
fornia was divided. Mexico being per
mitted to retain what is now lower
California, and the United States secur-
ing the present State of California.
Mexico did not continue payments OF
interest for the support of the missions
in the State of California, and in 1865
q claim fo- a distribution of the ac-
cumulated interest was made by the
Catholic diocese of California before the
United States Mexican mixed claims
commission. The commission directed
that part of the fund be distributes
among the former Spanish missions IN
the State of California. Since theh
there has been no further Distribution
pf interest, which now amounts to nearly
81 ,000. 900.
Referred to Arbitrator.
This Government two years ago called
IN Mexico for another distribution, out
that country maintained that the cain
Ollie Church of California was not en-
titled to any share Of the interest, ana
declined to pay it. As result Oh
much negotiation, the claim OF the
$1<n
limited States was finally referred TO inc
permanent tribunal of arbitration al
The Hague, which has now rendered ITS
award in favor of the United states.
In the protocol providing for the ar
bitration it was agreed that no member
of the tribunal should be citizen OF
either the United States or Mexico. j. A.
Ralston. a lawyer of Washington, ID. u.
was agent and counsel for this Gov
eminent before the tribunal. solicitor
Penfield made the final argument LOT
the United States. Senator William NJ.
Stewart of Nevada appeared as repre-
sentative of the Roman Catholic diocese
of California.
