beauty of Christian graces in the

The flowers of character of which we
have been speaking can only be grown

AS well might the lily boast that it
could grow itself without the plant as
for man to imagine that he can grow

Unless Congress intervenes or the

Gently issued them by the Federal Gov
eminent This is apparent from an opin
ion Of the Comptroller of the Treasury,
submitted to the District Commission
ers yesterday.
A short time ago the War Department
issued new arms and accouterments TO

policy is placed, the date of the policy,

The District Auditor and Comptroller

He also says that some steps should be

Comptroller's Opinion.
In his opinion. the Comptroller calls
attention TO the wording of the act
which made. appropriation for the ex-
penses OF the District OF Columbia for

mo part of the money appropriated
by this act shall be used for the pay

by the determination Of Capt James
/. ,Schaadt. counsel for the BechteI
family, to run down the real murderer
OF Mabel Bechtel, the local police force
is showing signs of life
Few people now believe that the the
cries TO which the police have chung so
tenaciously are borne out by the facts,
and lest Captain Sehaadt and his de-
tectivos scoop them. the city hawk
shaws are getting busy.
Killed IN Some Resort.
Orders have gone out that the muir
derer of Mabel Bechtel must be ar
rested before Captain Schaadt's detec-
tives capture him. 1t is said to be the
purpose of the city police TO give its spe-
cial attention to finding the resort where
Mabel Bechtel is alleged to have been
murdered.
They viii look for evidences of blood.
and the proprietor and his servants will
be put through the third degree. Hav-
ing located the place where the girl met
her death the police believe that the

Cabby Under Suspicion.
The cabman under suspicion is under
the eye of the police. who say they
can lay their hands on him at any mo-
ment. The murderer and prominent cit
izen who is supposed to have been in
Mabers company when she was killed in
a fit Of jealous rage are also under
surveillance. but the police declare they
will not act-until they are sure of their
ground. 1t may require many weeks TO
secure the evidence that will be strong
enough to prove their case. they say.
1t is given out that the cab In which
Mabels body was taken home has dis
appeared. but the polic declare that
they can locate II. when Il is needed.
The entire conduct of the cabman, they
say. has been suspicious.
One-Horse Rig.
1t is charged that since the tragedy
he has changed the vehicle from a two
horse cab to a One-horse affair. that
the old blankets have been replaced
with new ones. and finally . the cab
itself disappeared.

cabman and also Of the suspected muir

his case as follows: I'VE are no longer
