sembled at 40 10th street northwest last
night, under the auspices of the New
Hampshire Associatfon,sto hear the praises
Of their native state sung and the virtues
Of its residents extoIIed. The principal adj
dress OF the evening was made by ex-Repre-
sentative Henry M. Baker. Mr.. Baker re-
viewed the history Of the state during the
revolutionary period. paying particular at
tention to New Hampshire's contributions
to the independence Of the United States.
He said that New Hampshire was the first
ence, the first colony to permanently rid
herself Of her>crown governor, the first col
ony to establish Independent self.govern-;
ment on a constitutional basis and the first
colony to commit an act OF hostility against
the military power of England, to assault
a fort in possession of his majestys troops
and to compel them to surrender Further
than this, the speaker said, New Hamp-
shire furnished more than half of the troops
which fought in the battle of Bunker Hill
and two-thirds of the troops under Stark,
which fought the battle Of Bennington. All
these things gave New Hampshire pre-em1-
nence among the states, Mr.. Baker said,
and placed her in the front rank of those
states which have become the pillars Of the
republic. The members of the society d.
rected their officers to secure a COPY Of Mr..
Bakers speech and have 1t printed for the
benefit of the organization. Ex-senator
Blair Of New Hampshire was present dur
Ing the meeting and made a short speech.
After the speeches some minor business of
the organization was transacted and re-
freshments were served.

Former Washingtonian Honored.

Mr.. W. H. Thompson, formerly of this
city, who has been mayor Of Junction City,
Kan, for a year, seems to have given a
very satisfactory administration. and is
likely to be reelected, according to the
following editorial from the Union Of that
city.
The business men, who met at the Com
mercial club rooms Monday and urged
Mayor w. H. Thompson Of this city to be
a candidate for reelection this spring, not
only paid Mr.. Thompson and his admins
tration high and deserved compliment,
but they voiced the opinion of the majority
of citizens Of Junction City in deeming him
a competent official and one worthy of &C.
cupying the Office Of mayor. Mr.. Thomp-
sons administration has been clean and
business like. 1t has been one of progress
sion and for the betterment of local condi-
tons. The request that he be a candidate
again is not sentiment, but the honest
opinion Of all those who attended the meet
ing that Mr.. Thompson's administration has
been very satisfactory, and tina. he should
be retained In the office to carry out further
policies he has tnaugurated since he as
sumed the responsible duties as major OF
this city. Until Monday Mr.. Thompson
maintained that he would not be a candi-
date for reelection, but the general ex-

AWAITING LEGAL ACTION.
Consolidation Of Spanish War Veteran
Organizations Delayed.

Adjutant General Dyer of the Spanish
War Veterans has issued circular to the
members of his organization calling atten-
ton to the meeting Of the joint committee
of the two Spanish war organizations for
states that the details of the consolidation
were not completed much to the regret Of
the Spanish War Veterans representatives.
In the circular Is contained the statement
that resolution agreeing to the consolida-
ton was adopted and that committees were
appointed to complete the details. These
details would have been completed at the
meeting held here, General Dyer states, but
the committeeman from the SpaniSh-Amer-
lean War Veterans desired to take certain
legal steps to clinch their part of the agree
ment, and it was impossible that the nego-
tiations should end as both organizations
desired. General Dyer expresses the belief
in his circular that the negotiate cannot
be completed before the meeting of the an
nuai convention of the Spanish War Vet
Grams next fall. 1t Is understood, however.
that the committee Of the Spanish War
Veterans has so far progressed with its
work that it will be able to report some
thing tangible long before that time, and
that the unfinished details Of the organiza-
ton may be taken up and completed early
in the summer, so that the necessity for
calling q convention of the Spanish War
Veterans and the Spanish-American War
Veterans will be done away with. 1t Is the
belief Of the members Of the latter organ
ization that the last details OF the CONSOLE
dalton can be completed without regard to
the work OF the legal committee of their
society, and that the reorganization cans
thereby be greatly accelerated. The work
of this committee Is progressing as rapidly
as the occasion warrants.

WASHINGTON AS STATESMAN.
Results Of His Policy as Exemplihed
in Our Government.

The annual Washington Birthday address
Of the Catholic University was given at 4:So
O. clock yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Hannis
Taylor, former United States minister to
Spain. The lecture was given IN MCMAHON
Hall and the auditorium was filled with
members Of the university faculty, students
and friends Of the institution. The speaker
was introduced by Bishop Conaty, and he
spoke on washington as Statesman.
Mr.. Taylor contrasted the character and
work of Washington and Napoleon and
gave briefly the results Of Washington's
policy as a statesman. Inc most ,oenedlce eia
outcome of our new political creation, SAID
the speaker, Is an intellectual liberation
which guarantees perfect freedom OF
thought and action to every sect and creed.
In the United States this freedom Is more
secure than under any other form Of gov
eminent, and there Is a patriotic relation
ship between the churches and the state
Representative government is another great
political idea popularized by the american
commonwealth, declared Mr.. Hannis.
Continuing, the speaker said, In part:
1.-The third and greatest political invention
to which our career as nation mas given
birth is embodied in the organization OF
history, a system through which the federal
power acts, not upon states, but directly
on the citizen. Through that invention
federalism, as system Of government
which had stood very low in the estimation
Of mankind, was lifted into a higher sphere.
The elasticity and strength Of the new fed
eralism has paved the way for our marvel
our political expansion which has not yet
rea ched the possible limits Of its growth.
Certainly, in a moral sense, we have new
worlds to conquer; we have yet great part
to play in influencing the future of mankind.
We are just about to enter upon new
career OF conquest, of conquest within the
domain Of world-politics, within the domain
of moral opinion. There is but one stumbling
block in the way to complete success. We
must present to the world unbroken
front; the corporate oneness of the nation
should no longer be weakened by the disin-
tegrating force of sectional bitterness.
Neither sectarian prejudice nor sectional
bitterness ever found Judgment in the
breast Of our mighty chief whose lightest
words were weighty."

sure that no harm would come to her
charge. When she felt satisfied that they
were out of her sight she went to the din

family Of what she had witnessed.
A daughter OF the admiral left the house

men walked along the sidewalk short
distance behind her, and when they reach

Detectives Horne and Burrows went to
the house later in the night and made an
investigation. They were satisfied that
the men entered the house through a

adjoining and passing over the coping. The
rooms on the upper floor had been searched

cents from a child's bank, enough to pay
their car fare to the city.
