last night at the Washington Club ex-
eelled its predecessors from all points OF
view The numbers. as well as the talent,

COLONEL DEITSCH HERE.
Cincinnati Chief of Police to Work for
National Bureau of Identification.

Col. Phil Deitsch, chief Of police of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, and president Of the board
of governors of the National Bureau OF
Criminal Identification, arrived in this
city yesterday afternoon from the Mid
die West. He is registered at the Ebbitt.
and was the guest at dinner last night of
Major Sylvester Superintendent of Po-
lice. who is also president Of the Nation
al Association of Chiefs of Police.
The reasons which operate to bring
Colonel Deitsch to Washington at this
time are those growing out of alleged OPP
position in Congress to the bill now pend
ing for the establishment. under national
supervision, of the National Bureau OF
Criminal Identification. This measure pro-
poses an appropriation for the further
ance of the work of this bureau, and this
fact. it is stated. has led to a fight being
made against the bill. especially in the
House of Representatives.
Incidentally, Colonel Deitsch will see
War Department officials about his son,
Lieutenant Deitsch. now serving with his
regiment in the Philippines. Lieutenant
Deitsch has been in the Far East for
many months. II is said he desires a
/ short leave of absence, so that he can
visit his home. Colonel Deitsch will be
| in Washington for several days.

graceful bearing. and uses elegant Eng
lish. He has had a long training in diplo-
macy, both in his own country and il
other parts Of Europe.
This is my first visit TO the United
States" he said last evening. land so far
I am pleased beyond my utmost expecta-
lions, Washington has many attractive
features, and the charm and beauty o!
some OF the lovely watering places OF
Europe seem repeated here.
Admires Americans.
Il have been a great admirer of the
American people all my life. They seem
always to have the right man for any oc-
casion. Even their diplomatic representa-
tives, though changed so frequently, seem
always to acquit themselves with credit"
The State Department has been Official
ly notified of his arrival. He succeeds
Senior Santo-Thyrso. relieved last No
vember. The new minister will probably
appear at the State Department in person
today.
1t has been ascertained that the former
minister. who was such a well-known
parsonage in this city, lost his post here
through a misunderstanding.
Said Mckinley Was Dead
1t is learned through reliable channels
that the minister was informed at the
White House by a certain Representative
who happened to be there that Mr.. Nc
Kinley was dead. when as a matter OF fact
his death did not occur until two days
later The mistake was due TO a misread
telegram.
Minister Santo- Thyrso. however. has,
tened TO send his Government a cablegram
announcing the Presidents death, and, in
deed. told several other diplomats in this
city that Mr.. Mckinley had passed away.
and caused them to also send dispatches
10 their governments.
Messages of coincidence from some OF
the foreign powers were. as conse-
quence, received prematurely. The mis-
take cost the minister his post.

WILL KELLY EXPLAIN HIMSELF?
Representation Question Not As Clear

Representation Question Not As Clear
 ly Put as Conference Committee.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 I was very much interested and in- structed to some extent by Baker Kelly's views on the question of con stitutional reform, as they appeared in the Democrat of January IS. While there appears to be some originality and lot of good sense in MT Kelly's opinions, still have not been able to learn from the interview whether the baker prefers the old system of town government as our grandfathers knew It or one modelled on the twentieth cen tury plan. l suspect that ATr Kelly Feels much the same as most of our farmers all over the state, who want special legislation for their own bene- ht, and then come along whenever it suits their purpose and convert our public streets into stores and markets ana ln this way reap rich harvests at the expense of city rate payers. Mir Kelly also sheds . tear for the subur- ban property owners in Waterbury ana comments them to the tender mercies of Mayor Kilduff and the board of assessors. What nonsense! Plty for the towns people who have lived at the expense of the city for the past fifty years and over! quite agree with MT Kelly that it would be good thing to abolish the conference committee in our legislative halls but | nave no faith in his position on the question of representation. Does MT Kelly believe in majority rule? If he uoes he should say so, and if he doesn't IL might be well to let us know that. too' MERCHANT.
