MAY LEARN NAME OF
SUPPOSED GEORGE LEE
Information Expected From Man.
chester'S Chief of Police.

Now il would seem probable that the
real identity Is established OF the sup
posed George Lee, who died in Manches-
ter, Mass, ten days ago, and whose body
reached here for burial a few hours after
Lee himself walked in and proclaimed
he was not dead.
Major Sylvester this morning received
letter from Chief OF Police Peabody,
of Manchester, saying that Lee, as he
was known there. came 10 the Massa-
chusetts town with F. c. Stevens, of this
city, on July /, and was at the time one
coachman IL was learned that he was
formerly coachman for W. ]. Donovan
and Attorney General Knox, OF this city.
Over the phone Mr.. Donavan. proprietor
of the Baseball House, at 1928 Seventh
Street, stated that a man named Lee dill
formerly drive for him, but he was not
sure OF the given name. He was prepar-
ing TO drive to the morgue and see that
the man received decent burial, provided
it was his ex-employe, when he learned
that the body had already been disposed
Of
Chief Peabody also stated that Lees
effects, containing papers which would
fix his identity, had been sent, and it is
upon this the police depend for final
settlement of the mixed identity. 1t IS
said these papers contain some insur-
ance policies.

Captain Harding Suggests That An

Capt. Chester Harding, assistant 10
the Engineer Commissioner, made an
interesting ruling today in his endorse
ment of an application made by c. c.
Lancaster for the construction Of
sewer through Oglethorp Street from
Fifth Street TO BrightwoOd Avenue.
II appears from the papers in the case
that the property owners in that vicin-
ity want the District 10 pay the cost of
installing the sewer. Captain Harding
calls attention to the fact that the
right of way has not been secured as
yet, nor the property abutting subdi-
yided He then makes the following
significant suggestion:
Il would call attention to the fact
that if the law permitted assessments
for sewer construction to Do delayed
until the property adjoining Is subdi-
vided and laid out into blocks and build
ing lots cases like the present one
could be more satisfactorily treated for
all concerned. / recommend that the
petitioner be informed that the only
available method is the permit system.

petitioners of one-h half the cost"

Presidente Jose del Rosario called a

of the presidentes. They asked permits

GOV. TAFT TALKED OF
FOR ROOTS SUCCESSOR
Persistent RumOr Heard Again
Without Basis in Fact

Again the rumor that Gov. William
H. Taft. Of the Philippines, will succeed
Secretary Root in the Cabinet has been
revived. This comes on the heels Of the
rumor that General oliver, the newly
appointed Assistant Secretary of War,
is to take the Portfolio Of War after
Secretary Roots return from England,
where he goes this month 10 serve On
the Alaskan Boundary Commission
Since Governor Taft declined TO ac-
cept a seat on the Supreme Bench last
winter, and won President RoosevClt's s
commentator by saying his mission IN
the Philippines was not yet accom-
pHshed, the Philippine governor has
been mentioned for many high posi-
tions within the gift of the President.
No official confirmation can be had of
the report that Governor Taft is 20 be-
come Secretary of War. anG his ap'
pointment to that position does not
seem any more likely than the selec-
ton OF General oliver for the Cabinet
position. 1t is known that Secretary
Root desires to leave the Cabinet. al
though he declines to discuss his plans.

ANCIENT ORDER OF SKULLS.

An interesting feature OF the stereo-
typers and electrotypers' convention is
the presence in It's midst of THE An
cient Order of Skulls" The grand
mogul OF this mysterious society is
Vice President Straube. and he has al
ready initiated a goodly number OF his
brethren who have proved themselves
to be possessed of the proper Qualifi-
cation for membership.
Although this order is secret and it's
purposes unknown to the outside world,
by inadvertence a pamphlet describing
1t was dropped on the floor of the con-
vention room and it's contents disclosed.
They are as follows:
The Ancient order of Skulls is an or
ganization created for social purposes
only; it's main reason for existence Is
the heartfelt desire of fun-ioving hu-
manity for the creation Of ties that will
tend to bind in closer union men 20
whom sociability is the breath of life.
Its object IS fun-pure, plain, simple
and undef1led fun of the old school, such
as makes the old grow young and makes
life worth the living. It's low initiatory
fee opens its ranks to all men; the
small monthly payment requires no sac
rifce on the part of any member. and
insures a greater percentage OF pleasure
than could be procured by any other
means The Ancient Order of Skulls
guarantees a laugh for every penny IN
vested, and assures prospective members
that one dose of the Skulls is like the
eyewater of the celebrated Colonel Sell
iers-the more you get the more you
want Come. friend. Join hands with
the merriest crew that ever raised q
laugh, a crew to whom blues are an un-
known quantity, whose sole aim in life
is to drive away dull care and cause
the rough pathway of life 10 blossom
like a rose whose fragrance breathes
the spirit of goodfellowship- Come. see
| and be convinced that the Ancient Or
der of Skulls is the only organization
OF it's kind in the world, without IN
| equal without a peer, second to none,
| superior TO ALL"
| The badge of the order is black

| Grand Mogul StTaube the members oi
| the order will hold regular meetings

Postmaster General Objected, But
Accepted the Excuse Offered

William NJ. Ostrander, a Philadelphia
real estate agent. appeared before
Charles H. Robb, attorney general for
the Pcstoffice Department, yesterday,
and explained the use OF the name of
Postmaster General Payne in an adver-
tisement for the sale of some real estate
in Milwaukee. Mr.. Payne objected TO
the Use of his name. and referred the
matter TO Mr. RObb. with a view TO issu-
ing a fraud order If the name were not
withdrawn.

hamton. n. Y, on the charge of fraud
in connection with the sale of letter
boxes for private houses, has made
threats that he would implicate promi-
nent officials Of the Postoff1ce Depart
ment If he is convicted.
His scheme, which it is charged that
Henry worked in southern New York
and northern Pennsylvania. was to show
the householder letters purporting TO be
from postoffiee officials advising the use
of the box Then 1t is claimed that
Henry would persuade the prospective
buyer TO make a deposit on the box and
get away without delivering the goods.

ceiving the purchasers, and that he is

spite of the rain which came in the
evening. About $500 delegates. ex-dele-

amusements of the resort were open to
the visitors, and were thoroughly en-
joyed. a baseball game between a team
OF the Columbia Typographical Union

ia the favor Of the former by a score

H'COMAS LEADS IN
MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Legislative Nominees VIII
Favor His Reelection.
CONVENTION NEXT MONDAY
Indications Are That There Will Be Nc
Contest-Ncws Notes From
Rockville, Md

ROCKVILLE. Nd. Aug. 11.-Indica-
tlons point to a lack OF contest in the
Republican primaries to be held in this
county Saturday. so far as factionai
fights are concerned. but there is a
lively contest expected for the county
Craftsmanship. Willis B. Burdette. Of
Rockville. is an avowed aspirant for
this position. His candidacy is meet
ing with opposition from the friends Of
Senator McConas in certain quarters.
notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Bur-
dette is a warm friend of the Senator.
II is possible that this contest may
have some bearing on the selection OF
the delegation to the State convention.
The county convention will meet at
this place on next Monday when the
full county ticket will be nominated
and delegates chosen to the State con-
vention. It is believed that the con-
vention will send a delegation to the
State convention favorable TO the nomi-
nation Of Stevenson Archer Williams
for sovernor. II is also quite likely that
the legislative nominees will favor the
reelection of Senator McComas.
The present prospects are that there
will be no contests Of any sort before
the county convention. The party or
eanization here will undoubtedly control
the convention.
Edwin Warheld. one of the candidates
for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. has written the Agricultural So
ciety that he viii be present at the

iuries yesterday by falling through an
opening in the floor of the Treasury
Building where workmen were engaged
in repairing electric light wires. He
had just entered the building and was
walking through one of the corridors
on the way to his Office. The hole was
only partly guarded by a box which
afforded no warning of the danger.
Only the timely assistance of a COM

plunging down to the basement floor.
He was taken out unconscious and
removed in an ambulance to his apart
ments in the Ethelhurst. While his
injuries are painful and will confine hip'
to his bed for some time. he will re-

FRAU WAGNER ASKS AID
OF STATE DEPARTMENT
Story From Berlin Of Another Attempt
to Enjoin "Parsifal" Project.

BERLIN, Aug. lit is learned from
an official source that the German Am
bassador to the United States, Baron
Won Sternburg, will take diplomatic ae-
tion at Washington in behalf of Frau
Cosima Wagner, as a German subject,
to prevent Mr.. Conried from producing
"Parsifal" at the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York
The German government has taken
the view that Mr.. Conried has not pur-
chased the right to produce the opera.
Local patent attorneys who were
shown the above, expressed a belief
that any rights Frau Wagner might
have TO prevent an American production
of ''Parsifal' could be maintained only
in the courts. The theory of interfer-
ence through the State Department was
generally discredited.

WHO HAS THAT HAT?

For the last two days mystery has
surrounded the disappearance of the hat
of a member of the New York delega-

made, but without success. Practical
jokes and many other theories were
advanced by the fellowdelegates OF the
New Yorker, but all seemed dark and
hopeless until this morning, when Mr.
ODonnelI. of Washington, announced
that 1.-The New York" delegate who
mourned the loss of his hat would re-
ceive enlightenment if Mr.. O'Donnell
were consulted on the subject. Informa-
tion on the strange disappearance was
scarce this morning, and President
Lynch told Mr.. ODonnell to be sure
that his man" was a New Yorker and

HOW HARD A PRINTER CAN KICK

Convention delegates are wondering
expression is a new one, and was sprung
when least expected, and was probably
lost on the majority of the delegates.
1t appears some trouble was experienced
in having the lights of the Columbia
Theater burn satisfactorily this morn
ing. One of the delegates complained.
and asked that the matter be looked
into. Secretary-Treasurer Bramwood
Immediately arose and informed his
complaining brother that the matter
had been noticed. and that the secretary
was kicking just as hard as a printer
could kick, and that he was patiently
waiting for results. Many of the dele
