would have to call later.
When the doctor returned home and was
told of the strangers visit he recalled the
case of the robbery recently committed at
the house of Dr. 1. s. Stone under similar
conditions. The police were notified of the
incident and a description Of the bogus

FORM OF CONTRACT.
Auditor Garrison's Recommendation
Regarding Pay Of Certain Employees.

Auditor John r. Garrison recently sub
mitted to the Commissioners a form Of or
der and contract to be used in cases of en-
ployment of inspectors. foremen, ETC., whose
duties may require them to work more
than eight hours a day, and for which adj
ditional time it is desired to pay them.
Colonel Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner,
referred the matter to his assistants. Cap
tains Newcomer and Harding. for their
views thereon. Colonel Biddle said the
question having arisen as to the propriety
of paying inspectors and foremen for over
time, unless there was a distinct under
standing at the time Of their engagement
that they were to be so paid. the auditor
was requested to look into the matter, and
has suggested form Of contract.
Captains Newcomer and Harding have
approved recommendation made by Su-
perintendent McComb of the sewer depart
ment. in which he says:
II have the honor to recommend that an
order be issued by the Commissioners of the
District OF Columbia stating that for
watchmen employed upon construction
work and for hired carts and wagons eight
hours shall constitute a days work Con-
corning foremen and inspectors 1 recon-
mend that their employment be not limited
upon the eight hour basis, but that days
work shall consist of so much time each
day as is required to fulfill the object OF
their employment as determined by the
head Of the department in which they are
employed.''

ADMITS THE CHARGE.
Young Cohen Stated to Have Confessed
Robbery

Detective Trumbo who went to ST Louis
In connection with the case of Jacob Cohen
who was arrested to answer a charge of
having distracted several hundred dollars
worth of diamonds from his parents place
of business in this city, has returned home.
Young Cohen was given a preliminary
hearing before United States commits
sioner and was held in $1,000 security for
his appearance in this city. Being unable
to furnish security he was committed to
the custody of the marshal to be brought
here.
1t Is understood the prisoner admits his
guilt. stating that he pawned the diamonds
at pawnshop in this city and spent every
cent of the money thus obtained in Bal
timore. From Baltimore he went tos st.
Louis, and from there to New Orleans and
Indian territory. He returned to st. Louis
and had been there only one week when he
was placed under arrest. Cohen had OBJ
tanned employment in st. Louis with the
proprietor of dairy and was getting $50 a
month.
While in st. Louis the detective visited
the exposition grounds and was shown the
different buildings by one of the officers
there. He thinks St. Louis will make a
big improvement on the showing made at
Chicago. There were something like seven
thousand laborers working on the grounds.
Labor, he says is scarce in the west and
people out of employment, he thinks, will
find no trouble getting employment there.
Cohen will be brought here by Marshal
MOrSey.

Recommendation for Its Equipmen
Approved by Mr.. mcfarland.

Commissioner mcfarland, as president
Of the Washington Public Library commits
sion. has suggested to his associates of that
body that the recommendation Of Mr..
Bernard r. Green, superintendent Of con-
struction. for the equipment OF bindery
room in the basement of the library build
ing In Mount Vernon square be approved.
1.-The new Public Library building" says
Mr. Green in-his letter Of recommendation,
contains In the basement a convenient
room that was designed for a bindery, or
at least a repair shop for books. which is
the most useful and economical attachment
to q public library equipment. Thus far,
for lack Of funds. no apparatus or tools
have been provided in the furniture or the
library for equipment Of this room, to which
my attention has been called by the presi-
dent Of the trustees and the librarian.
Mr.. Green enumerates the principal
pieces Of apparatus required. and estimates
the total COST including a considerable
number Of minor items. at $500.
'It would SEEM" he continues. that this
amount can be afforded out of the supple
mental gift Of Mr.. Carnegie. and that the
use of the money for such an outfit Is with
in the purpose of the gift. and therefore
have the honor to recommend that the ex-
penditure of $500, or so much thereof as
may be necessary, be authorized for equip
ping the bindecy room.
