Her friends should not see her accom-

They did not. But they saw sometime

In the excitement of greetings the fact

Esther was forced to explain, to an ac-

John Harts possession. With 1t was

AS has been remarked, the distances be-

Inconvenience of life at Brightwood
park.
Thus 1t happened that the acquaintance

man of Democratic Caucus.
Washington, March Ut is the gen.
eral opinion among democratic SEN
ators that Senator German will be
asked to resume his old place as chair
man of the democratic cGucus.
Another question which probably will
be taken up is the appointment of a
nlelnher of the foreign relations com
iAlttee TO succeed Senator Bailey. who
was excused from service on that COM
inlttee by the senate Tuesday last on
his own motion.
When he retired he suggested SEN
ator Clark of Montana as his successor
ana as there was no opposition the
suggestion was adopted and Senator
Clark was made Il member of the com
inittee. There Is no objection to SEN
ator Clark as member of the commit
lee, but there is a feeling on the part
~ some of the democratic senators that
she designation Of a member of so inn
portant committee should be left to
the caucus and not to an Individual
senator. 1t therefore seems probable
mat the caucus will ask to be allowed
TO MI the place, and that Senator Clark
VIII be named by the caucus
Inc vacancies on the steering COM
Inittee will also be filed

AMERICAN WAS ExILED.
Boston Aroused Over William Miller
Sent to Russia as Educator.

Boston, Mass, March 1.-THE Poles
of Boston are greatly excited over the
news just received from Europe that
William Miller of Boston has been ar
rested by the Russian government and
exiled to Siberia.
Miller has recently been engaged in
endeavoring to educate the Poles wher-
ever they may be, and he had not con-
fined his work to Russia alone.
Various societies of wel-to- Poles
have contributed funds to his care for
this purpose and 1t was the accounts
for this money and not the money that
was found on his person that caused
his arrest.
His Boston compatriots declare that
Miller had no revolutionary motives,
and that his sole motive was to educate
and assist Polish immigrants, who,
upon landing in America, are detained
by the inspectors and often sent back
owing TO their lack of education.
A mass meeting will be held here to
protest, and Secretary Hay will be
asked to act.
Miller, it is declared here, is an Amer
lean citizen. His real name is Vincente
Milikewicz, but he adopted Miller for
convenience. He has been imprisoned
months In st. Petersburg al
