PUBLIC BUILDING BILL.
b Now Ready for Rspesi-Bridtspert
 Man Enjoined.
(From Our Special Correspondent

F'rom Our Special C0rresp0ndent.)
 Washington. Feb 2.-The house committee on public building and grounds have practically completed q public building bill, but are not yet ready to report it. There is question whether the bill will be reported at all or not. as it is doubtful if the mana gers of the house will allow it to come up fG. action this session. Members who are interested in the bill, how ever. are trying to convince the speaker of the necessity for such bill and expect to be successful.
 The bill carries only small appro- priation as compared with former bills of a similar character. All the amounts originally asked for have been cut considerably, and many have been left out entirely. The only Connecticut item in the bill is the provision for the New Britain building, and the commit tee has not as yet given out the exact figures for this edifice. The bill intro duced by Mir Henry called for $150.- GOO. but If the committee grants $125.- 600 it will be all that can be expected under the circumstances. From re- marks that have been dropped by members of the committee they rank New Britain with Meriden, which se- cured only $1OOOOO. Meriden has however, put in claim for $5O0O ex. tra, but it is not probable that ths committee will grant this request. It is safe to say that the appropriation for New Britain win be between $1O0, GOO and $125.OOO.
 Forbids Use of Title.
 The comptroller of the currency has issued the following statement relative to David $. Beach of Bridgeport:
 My attention has been called to q circular letter headed Manufacturers and Merchants National Bank. of Bridgeport, Conn, capital $1,OO0,OOO.' which is being extensively circulated over the signature of David s. Beach, president pro tempore, offering notes for rediscount for the purposes of es- tablishing active correspondents throughout the United States, and to secure in return reciprocal relations wherever possible. ...
 "No bank with the title indicate has been authorized at Bridgeport Conn. and the use of the title is decep- tive and in violation of law.
 ''In February, 1901, an application was received by the comptroller's of flee from David $. Beach and others for authority to organize the Manufac- turers' and Merchants National Bank of Bridgeport, Conn, with a capital of $1,00O,OOO, which title was approved and reserved for the parties for pc riod of sixty days. In September. 1902. a request was received for an eX- tension of time within which to per feet the organization, and it was stat ed that if not completed within that time 1t would be abandoned. since which date no correspondence in rela- tion to the subject has been received at the comptrolIer's office. and the pro- posed organization has been consid- cred as having been abandoned. and has been So treated. Mir Beach has been instructed by the comptroller to discontinue the use of the title indi. cated on his letter heads"

DENIAL BY PRESIDENT.
That He Directed Use of honay for
 Indian SchO ,ls.

Washington. Feb 2.-lt was officially denied at the White House yesterday hat the president ever directed the use for sectarian schools of any funds ap. propriated by congress for Indian schools. The denial was called forth by statements made by Senator Bard of California and others to the senate committee on Indian affairs Tuesday. It was said that some of the funds ap propriated by congress had been di- verted for the use of Catholic and other sectarian schools. although this was forbidden by act of congress scy- erai years ago.
 What appears to be the fact. accord ing to statements made by members Oi the Indian Rights association, is that contracts were made to pay out of trust funds held in the United States treasury for certain Indians. $9S.ita' for the benefit of the Indian schools managed by the Immaculate Concep- ton mission of the Catholic church. and Si.320 for the benefit of I.uth- aran school This money, it is ex- plained. was segregated from the funds held in trust by the government toT tne lnuialiS Ou petitioil or tDe Ill., iians themselves. Tine arrangement was made with the approval of th.' president, after he had consulted the encouragement.

 .'In view of certain statements made hy senator Bard before the committee on Indian affairs of tine senate, as re- ported in the public press. I deem if proper to state that the Catholic church has no political agent at Washington or anywhere else. that Prof l.. L. Scharf. who is referred to in Senator Bard's statement. is not an agent of the Catholic church or of the bureau Of Catholic Indian missions and has never been employed by the church or the Catholic Indian bureau fin any way what>oever.'

 hours sickness. Miss O'Donnell was
 an emplOye of Heminway X Bartlett's silk factory, and went to work this
 morning apparently in her usual good
 health. At o'clock she was taken i'll
 and it was deemed advisable to remove
 her to her home, where she died short ly afterIO o'clock. The primary cause ! of death was due to the bursting of a blood vessel. Besides her mother. Mrs

 short illness. She was very promis.
 ing girl and enjoyed good health until | about three weeks ago, when her
 mother noticed that she didn't look
 well and kept her home from school.
 The family physician didn't think any thing of it and said she would be all ! right in few days, but in this he was mistaken, for some time Sunday con gestion of the lungs set in and carried
 her away quickly. She was a pupil in
 the ninth grade at the Washington
 school and would have graduated this
 coming June. In addition to being
 studious at school she had taste for
 music and notwithstanding her tender years had acquired considerable knowl- edge of the art. Naturally of a pleas ant disposition, bright and clever for one of her years. she was a marked girl in the neighborhood where she lived and her death is source of much regret among wide circle of friends. Besides her mother she leaves four brothers and four sisters, George,
 Walter. Richard, Raymond, Mary. Elizabeth. Sophia and Florence. Her father. Richard Bacon. died about year ago. The funeral will be held to

on fhe SallowS at the state prison here
and paid the penalty OF numbering her

than three years ago.
Greatly to the relief of those Off
Gals who were assisting in executing
the sentence, Mary Rogers last hour
was remarkably free from narrowing
incidents. 1t had been feared that the
wOman's wonderful nerve would de-
sert her at the final moment and that
she would be carried to the scaffold
in a state of collapse. Instead, how
ever, Mrs Rogers met death bravely

Her neck was broken at the second

first shock.
The drop fell at :13 p. m. and Mrs.
Rogers was pronounced dead by the
attendant physician at 1:27b. The
wOman's feet barely touched the floor
for an instant, but the deputies on the
platform of the scaffold Immediately
frightened the rope and raised the un-

Trains Held Up and Search Made
For Tobacco Buyers.

The BLACK Patch District" of South
western Kentucky and Tennessee Is
being displayed in a sensational man
ner by the hOld-up Of trains and the
1ynamiting and burning Of trust ware
houses and factories and warnings to

center of the district. Following the
burning of the two large trust ware
houses at Trenton, with a loss of ST.

At ElktOn, in the same section, was
dynamited. The factory was used by
the agent of the American Snuff Co..
a branch of the American Tobacco Co.
the agent had been warned not to re-
ceive any more tobacco from the trust.
but paid no attention to it. The eX-
plOsion demolished the factory and
damaged houses and passenger coach
es near, but no one was injured. AS
the ElktOn and Guthrie train was max
ing it's return trip it was tagged at
Bradshaw Station. When the train
stopped the engineer was covered with
revOlvers. Two hundred men sur
rounded the train. Forty of them
went through it. The leaders told
the passengers not to get excited, as
they were only looking for tobacco
buyers. After searching thoroughly
they withdrew and ordered the engi-
neer to proceed. The Dark Tobacco
Growers association, organized by
Black Patch growers to fight the trust,
has condemned the lawlessness and
cOunseled its members not to break
the law. The insurance companies are
refusing risks on trust property.
