TRICK TURNED AT NIGHT

Burglars entered James H. Handy's
poolroom, ZOO K street northwest, op.
posite the Third precinct station, and
carried away his 00-pound iron safe.
containing about $50 in money and $40
worth OF yalua bic papers, some time be-
tween midnight and O'Clock this morn
Ing
When Handy entered his shop this
morning the safe was gone. On the
foor were TWO deep grooves or indenta-
tons, which Indicated how the safe had
Deen dragged to the rear window.
Several small pieces had been Clipped
from the window sill On the outside
were bits OF hemp. evidently from the
rope which the burglars used in hosting
the safe to the outside. On the frame of
the window were found the imprlnts OF
the four legs or wheels os the safe.
Wagon tracks were discovered IN the al
ley back of the poolroom. showing that
the burglars had their scheme well
planned. -A =,
Thinking that the police of the Third
precinct, whose station Is on a direct
line across K street from the poolroom,
had caught the burglars, Handy went
there to inquire about his safe.
The police were much surprised how
ever, to learn of the robbery. Several
psitrolmen were Immediately assigned
to the case.
The matter was afterward reported
to Captain Boardman. chief of detec-
tIves. and two Central Office men were
dispatched to the scene.
The police have absolutely no clue
as yet upon which TO work.

DRUGGISTS OBJECT
TO YERKES' RULING
Protest Vigorously Against Proposed
Tax on Medicines Containing Whis-

The recent ruling OF the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue that drug stores
and other stores selling certain patent
medicines. of which the chief ingredient
is whisky or other distilled liquor. are
liable to the payment Of the SIS Gov
ernment tax required from liquor dealers
is causing no end OF correspondence of
the protesting kind. Commissioner
Yerkes sticks to his ruling and is back
ed up by Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury Taylor. who has general super
vision of the administration of the in
ternal revenue laws.
Assistant Secretary Taylor says that
Commissioner Yerkes' decision Is sound
and will stand unless set aside by higher
authority.
Drug store proprietors and manufac-
turers of the medicines that are af-
fected by the decision are protesting
vigorously and in a number of instances
many of them have written the Pres

are apprehensive that IL the decision

UNEXPECTED VISITOR
At PATENT OFFICE
Carrier Pigeon From Baltimore Flies
Into Room a35 and Makes
Friends With Clerks.

The busy clerks In room 235 OF the
Patent Office were startled Tuesday af-
ternoon by hearing a peculiar fiuttering
sound, and looking toward the window
they saw a carrier pigeon. In a minute
the bird had lit on the desk by the win
dow occupied by Miss Welch. Then the
pigeon fell over from exhaustion.
The bird was picked UP, given food
and drink. and soon revived. An in
vesugation disclosed that it was a
homing pigeon from Baltimore. There
was a band around each leg. and on
one band were the following letters and
figures: 'tB. Y. 1908"
Harry B. Burch, chief of division Z,
in whose room the bird few. discovered
that the pigeon belonged to Charles NJ.
Eunich, of 1914 North Mount street,
Baltimore. and he at once wrote Mr..
Eunich a letter, informing him that the
pigeon was here
The ladies made much of the bird,
and il at once became friendly. showing
a disposition to make the room its home.
He remained in the room all of Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning when the
clerks In 235 reported for work. Mr
Homing Pigeon greeted them with a
pleasant good-morning COO. When the
plrd- mao MADE Vlslt 10 each desk ano
had eaten some ginger snaps, which ne
washed down with water, he few to

and then lit out
He returned later in the afternoon and
stayed until the hour of closing. wher
he again made his departure. He re
turned again this morning. looking
spruce and clean, his eyes bright and
clear.
Up to noon today the bird was still
contented with his new-found home
and nothing had been heard from Mr.
Eunich.

WABASH COMING

Favor Washington.
COAST TO COAST SYSTEM
Rockefellers Have Much Money in Road
and Their Vote May Decide
Victory.

The contest for the control of the
great wabash railway system, between
George ]. Gould and Joseph Ramsey,
president Of the system, is of especial
interest to the people OF Maryland and
the District, Baltimore and Washing
ton, because of the large plans of the
company which look to invading this
territory. President Ramsey has given
assurance that If he wins he will pro-
ceed 10 carry out these plans as already
adopted. and it is well known that Mr..
Gould is welded to them
Marvel of Diplomacy

duction OF the great Wabash system
means much to both these systems, for
1t is now fast nearing completion as
the first coast-to-coast system OF the
entire country.

Rockefellers Interested.
The Gould interest is credited with
owning a third of the Wabash stock.
The Rockefellers have been putting
immense sums into it the last few
years and their position as between
Gould and Ramsey is likely to prove

things may take at the eleventh
hour and so much depends on
the winnings when selling stock
or eggs.
The bird need not be changed
from the regular diet, but hulled
oats and wheat with sun
flower seed with other foods
have d very beneficial in
tluence on the %piumage.
In selecting a bird to fit for a
show, there r several things to
be borne in mind. First, we
must read very carefully the dis.
qualifications of our respective
breed; then see that our choice
is free Of any of these. Second,
see that he either comes up to
the standard weight; or, if
not, that he is d bird with good
frame, which he should have, if
there is any chance tor him to
make standard weight by show
dates. Third, having thus Sc
lected our best birds from the
tlocks having a fixed ideal as to
what the requirements are in our
class to win, seek farther; and
find the three or four birds that
come closest to filling them.
Now the ability of the keeper
has a chance to show itself in
the fitting of the birds for the
show room. This is an artthat
we hold sacred, too much so for
publication. Every man has to
fight it out for himself. as no two
seemingly a succeed with the
same tools and system. Every
successful breeder has his own
system of fitting. When we
have done all possible to develop
our specimen, he must necess-
arily have his toilet. For this
you will require three tubs, two
with lukewarm water, the third
with clean water as drawn from
the cistcrn, soft water always
preferred. In the second one we
put about as much bluing as us
ed for toilet linen. into the first
only a shading of bluing and a
good cake of ivory soap. Place
the bird in the one with the soap.
After soaking the feathers thor
oughly, you proceed to lathcr
them well, being careful to wash
out all stains and leave the plum
age a snowy white. This should
be done a week before the show.
After washing we'll in the blue
water very thoroughly, then
rinse off in the clean water and
squeeze as much water from the
feathers as possible. Place the
bird in a clean cpDn that has hppn
