DAUGHTERS OF coNFEDERAcY.
Preliminary Steps Toward Forming a
, Division in Washington.

The preliminary steps have been taken
toward forming a division for the District
of Columbia of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. There are now three chapters of
the order in the District, and 1t Is the be-
lief Of those in authority that the ends of
the organization can be best served by the
organization of a local division. This senti-
ment has been agitating the leading mem
bers of the three chapters for several
months past and eliminated In a meeting
at the home of Mrs. Samuel Sprigg Belt,
1917 18th street northwest, yesterday after
noon, when the preliminary steps, were
taken.
The three chapters in the District now
are the StOnewall Chapter, the Robert E.
Lee Chapter and the Southern Cross Chap
ter. Heretofore they have acknowledged
allegiance to the supreme body of the
United Daughters Of the Confederacy only,
and it is believed that a central body here
would greatly facilitate the workings Of the
organization, which has a great amount of
charitable work to do during the year and
consequent amount of business to settle
with the central organization The con-
venience of having the central body here,
therefore, is apparent, and efforts will be
made within the next month to perfect a
strong organization.

WANTED ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Baltimore Dentist May Get Death
Penalty If Caught.

The Baltimore police are looking for
DR.. Edward B. Dawson, dentist, who
had offices at 1922 North Charles street
and on Fairview avenue, Forrest Park,
where he lived. He is wanted upon four
charges of alleged felonious assault
charged to have been committed upon
small girls. The children who make the
charge against the dentist are under thir-
teen years of age and are inmates Of the
Kelso Home at Forrest Park. which is
conducted under the auspices Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for the pur-
pose of teaching orphan girls how to sup
port themselves.
According to the dates mentioned in
the indictments it Is alleged that the as
saults have been committed from March
to the present month. 1t was not until
last Saturday that Miss Weaver, the
superintendent of the institution. learned
of the alleged Ill treatment of fifteen
girls who were under her care. She lost
no time in bringing the matter to the at
tention of the authorities and the four
indictments were returned yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t is stated that the dentist
learned of what was going on and left
Baltimore Saturday night. His wife, who
was wholly ignorant of his alleged mis-
conduct, has gone to the home of her
mother, Mrs. Mary Macher, on Springdale
avenue. The statutes of Maryland pro-
vide the death penalty for the crime al
legged against the dentist

c1ude Arbitration Pact.

Russia has accepted the invitation of the
United States to conclude an arbitration
treaty on the lines of the American French
treaty.
The American proposal was submitted to
Russia in the form of MOI from Secre-
tary Hay which was presented personally
to Foreign Secretary Lamsdorff by Charge
dAffaires Eddy. November q. This after
noon Count Lamsdorff replied accepting In
principle in behalf of the imperial govern
ment the text Of the treaty. but Indicating
that Russia would propose some slight
notifications. These are expected to be
drafted in a few days and the final con-
summation of the new rapprochement with
Russia will not long be delayed.
Although 1t was known that the Ameri-
can government was DESTROYS of negotiate
Ing arbitration treaties with all the princi-
pal powers the fact that Russia had already
been approached with a direct proposition
did not leak out until Count Lamsdorff
had accepted It
The rapprochement IL expected to have q
splendid effect ON Russo-American rela-
tfons. especially as It marks Russia's ffrst
adherence to an arbitration treaty With q

LIGHTWEIGHT BREAD SOLD.
Samuel Cohen Pleads Guilty and Court
Takes Personal Bonds.

Personal bonds were taken in the case of
Samuel Cohen, a baker, who was tried IN
the Police Court today for offering light
weight bread for sale The case was called
in court several days ago and the defend
ant. who is in business at 701 9Th street
southwest, demanded jury trial.
Attorney Alexander Wolf. however, today
withdrew the demand for a jury trial and
entered a plea of guilty He called the
courts attention to the law, which provides
that the trial magistrate must allow Tor
the staleness of bread or the loss OF weight
by drying.
This bread" said counsel, was stale,
am informed. and that accounts for the
loss of weight.
Mr.. Schoenthal, assistant sealer of
weights and measures. said he was unable
to tell about the condition of the bread. as
Policeman Newkirk had charge OF the
weighing.
Attorney Wolf made the further state
ment that Mr.. Cohen is inexperienced in
the business and expects to give 1t up short
ly. He suggested that the court take the
defendants personal bonds and his sug-
geStion was adopted.
