had no place to so.
Handed to the Police
The young men, whose names are known
to the police. accompanied the girl tc
Headquarters, where Sergeant Carter
heard her story. Then she was sent to
the House Of Detention in a cab and
given free lodging for the night. No
cnarge appears against her at all.
10 Sergeant Carter Miss Lego told a
story which runs thus: In New York Cjty
her home, she met the strange one-legged
man. He wanted to come to Washington
Tor the sole purpose of buying an artificial
leg, which he stated would cost less in
this city than elsewhere. Mary Lego
agreed to accompany him, and did SO.
On arriving here he secured lodging
on B near Third Street where the girl
also stopped. Several days ago the man
found that he could not buy the artificial
leg for the money which he had. and
spoke OF going back to New York.
Yesterday Mary Lego awoke to find
that the man had disappeared. A young
woman whom he had met since his ar
rival, according to the girl, is also re-
ported missing. Transportation will be
furnished the girl to get back to New
York today.

Seven years ago the State.of Illinois granted
TO the Physicians Institute of Chicago a charter.
There was need of something above the ord-
nary method OF treatment for chronic diseases.
something more than any one specialist or any
number or specialists acting Independently
could do, SO the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t by its general laws gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way to carry out
the original purposes OF its establishment under
the benelicient laws of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value Of electricity In the treatment
of certain phases Of disease, created under the

CUBANS URGE
CONCESSIONS.
Cable Messages Received
by Secretary Root.
RUIN THREATENS THE ISLAND.
Dispatches to he Sent to Congress
Today - Officers of Commercial
Bodies Say Serious Disturbances

tion-GOvernor Woods Views.

Secretary Root will send to Congress
today copies of cablegrams just received
from Cuba urging the immediate passage
cessions to Cuba. The purport of these
dispatches is thatCuba is threatened with
immediate ruin unless the concessions
asked for are granted.
Secretary Root is pleaded with to use
his utmost power to secure the tariff con-
cessions. and has already asked General
Wood to come to Washington and appear
before the Ways and Means Committee
January II in behalf of the legislation
proposed in the interest of the island.
General Woods Views.
General Woods views on this subject
are we'll known to the President and Sec
retary of War. He agrees thoroughly
with the statements advanced in the de-
spatches received at the War Department
that Cuba must have tariff concessions to
save IL from destruction. He has already
informed the President that only by the
granting of tariff concessions can Cuba
continue to live
In recent letter received from General
Wood he has declared that Cuba's pros
perity and advancement depend absolutely
upon her commercial relations with the
United States, aud that high duties against
Cuban products will positively prevent
the development of the island On the
other hand he says that with a reduction
of duties the development of Cuba will be
rapid and immediate.
From Commercial Bodies.
The dispatches received by Secretary
Root are signed by the officers of differ
ent commercial bodies in Cuba. and while
all of them speak of the necessity of con-
cessions and the ruin that will follow un-
less these are granted. some go so far
as to declare that unless such legislation
is enacted the distress in the island will
be accompanied by serious disturbances.
The cablegrams are as follows:

Over Thirty Chevy Chase Riders

Although the socia! season is at its
height. still there are those people. and
in goodly numbers, too, who are willing
and glad TO tear themselves away from
the gayeties of Washington to enjoy a
good gallop across country. This was
shown yesterday afternoon, when the
Chevy Chase hounds met at Bethesda
Postofiice. with over thirty in the saddle,
ready and anxious to follow the pack up
hill and down dale.
The hounds we're cast west of the Rock

up the scent. They started off in north
westerly direction, running for several
miles, when they gradually bore around
TO the east. leading the field over the
land of the Chevy Chase Land Company

club after about ten miles of good going
over a more than fair hunting country
The field was in charge of Mr.. Clarence

started in on the season with such strong
bowling as 1t put up last night against
the Y. NJ c. A, 1t would be leader by
a big margin, instead of holding next to

The team won the first two games from
its visitors, the Y. NJ. C. A., by handsome
margins, and lost the last by fluke by
fifteen pins, Stitt and Brown each missing
comparatively easy spares in the last
frame.
Ludwig, of the Eagles. in two weeks
has had the record for the best single
score, the first being 22S, and last night
he led again. with 23S. Between the two

Trouble at School of Mines.

Golden, Colo. Feb. There are
signs of disruption at the State
School Of Mines here Friction be-
tween President Chauvinet, the fac
ulty. and the students has existed
for some time and has reached a
point where perfect disorganization
exists. Yesterday morning twelve
students gave notice that they will
enter the Montana School of Mines
at Butte next week if the iron clad
rules OF the president are not abated
The Montana school agrees to accept
the boys and give them full credit
for their work at Golden. Other stu
dents would go there if they were fl
nancially able. The board of trustees
Is in session trying to patch up the
trouble, but that is very improbable.
The probabilities are that the pres
ident and faculty will resign and
the school will be reorganized.
