VICTIMS OF A scHEMER.
Alleged Imposition on Pawn Brokers
in Baltimore.


Members Of the local police department
are interested in q case in Chicago fnvolV-
ing the arrest OF man on charge of hav-
ing swdndled pawnbrokers In different sec
lions Of the country. So far as Is known
no money lenders in this city were victim
lied by the scheme, but the Baltimoreans
in the same business were not so fortunate.
It is claimed that the man under arrest has
discovered an alloy the composition of
which is such that when put over an ordi-
nary brass chain 1t will deceive experts. The
cost Of such a chain is said to be about 81.
and they have been pawned for as much as
s1S Acid tests 1t Is stated, have no effect
whatever on the coating, and test can
only be made by cutting the chain. The
Baltimore pawnbrokers first learned or the
alleged swindle when one of them received
a letter signed Citizen" This letter was
postmarked New York. 1t reads:
Pawnbrokers: l have to inform you to
notify the other pawnbrokers OF Baltimore
to be careful by pledglng goods because 1t

1t is believed by the Baltimore police that

JOSE ESTRADAsPAHMA WEEDS.

A dispatch from New York last night

trada Palma, a son of Thomas Estrada
Palma. president Of the Cuban republic,
and Miss Mabel Jacobs. student at the
Normal College, and daughter of David B.
Jacobs. a wealthy tobacco importer, were

Young Estrada Palma, who is student
at Columbia University. went to WASH

Quesada, the Cuban minister. and to re-
quest him to break the news of the mar
riage to his father.
The young couple had been acquainted
about a year. On the afternoon of Feb

Jacobs sister. to the parsonage Of the New
York Presbyterian Church, In Harlem,
where they were married by the Rev. Dun
can McMillan, after which the bride re-
turned to her fathers home Fear OF
parental opposition appears to have been
the cause OF the secrecy of the marriage.

fication at this action. and added that the
number of yeas was not greater than he
had anticipated. He said that while the
news Of an earlier special session of the

OF the United States government as to

THE R. E. LEE STATUE
VIRGINIA THE PROPER PLACE
FOB A MONUMENT.
A Union Veteran Protests Against the
Bitterness-Was Lee True
to His Statep

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In my mind this is a royal debate. When
Robert E. Lee with his gallant army Of
soldiers defended his own person and fam
fly and upheld the honor Of the magnificent
state which gave to US the immortal Wash
ington; when he did his duty as he thought
right in the eyes of God and man, some
thing which no one but a real patriot aid
Christian soldier would do except under
strenuous obligations: when he had his
sword drawn to ward off the blows OF an
enemy from his dying brothers, some nave
been 50 mean and degraded as to call him
a traitor. for one am proud Of the fact
that he was an American.
To have a grand statue Of him in his
native state would be an honorable thing
Virginia Is the place Of his birth and the
place where he made his home, and the
good old Virgtnians should do him honor.
Washington. the nations capital. repre-
sents the headquarters Of the United States
and monuments Of all such men like WASH
ington, Lincoln, Grant and others woo
have held up the interests Of the Union
at all hazards, should be put. No Ameri-
of Lincoln should have the slightest recog-
milton in the Capitol here In Washington
beyond that he was an American. HIS
name Is revered from the northern boun-
dairy or virginia TO the overcoming Wdeets
of the great gulf. and God grant that 1t
may ever be thus.
CORVALLIS, Braddock and others of their
type were great soldiers, and I think that
their followers Gf they have any have
just as much right to present statues. al
though they fought against the Union. AS
an admirer of Lees personality and his
conduct in warfare, yet I must differ from
him on the one and great respect Of fight
ing against the Union.
The Virginians may well in their own
state build a monument to Robert Lee and
inscribe on it what great writer seeming
ly intended for him:
Nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire
shall burn
The living record OF your memory"

The Statute as to Statues.
"a Editor NJ The Evening Star.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
AS a comrade very much regret that the
Grand Army of the Republic should have
entered any protest against the placing OF
the Lee statue in the Capitol and that some
comrades have written in a strain of vitu-
peration against the name and memory of
Gen. Lee. which 1 think i'll becomes a good
citizen and brave soldier. But why dis
cuss the question in any way. If the state
of Virginia chooses to place the statue of
Lee in the Capitol l can see no way to pre-
vent 1t unless Congress should see fit to
repeal the present law.
Section 1914, page 321, R. s. of the United
States Is as follows:
Suitable structures and railing shall be
erected in the old hall Of representatives for
the reception and protection Of statuary,
and the same shall be under the supervt-
sion and direction of the chief of engineers
in charge of public buildings and grounds.
And the President is authorized to invite
in marble or bronze. not exceeding two
in number from each state. of deceased per-
sons who have been citizens thereof and
illustrious for their historic renown, or for
distinguished civic or military services,
such as each state may deem to be worthy
OF this national concentration; and when
SO furnished the same shall be placed in
tives. in the Capitol of the United States,
which Is set apart. or SO much thereof as
may be necessary, as national statuary
hall for the purposes herein Indicated"
Passed July 2. 1864. Approved by Presi-
dent Lincoln.
If the state of Virginia wants to place the
statue Of Robert E. Lee in the Capitol.
what are you going to do about it? For
my part, shall not protest.

She nestled near her lover.
Said she, ''Tis strange so cold place
