CHARLES sEUBERLEK MISSING.
Bladensburg Truck Farmer Disappear
ed After Coming to This CITY.

The mysterious disappearance from the
city last Tuesday of Charles Seuberlek
forty-six years old, a truck farmer of BIa-
densburg, Md, is causing his family and
friends some uneasiness. An appeal has
been made to the police for assistance, his
continued absence having alarmed them
and they fear he has been murdered.
Monday morning he drew s10o from bank
and bought horse, paying $50 for the ami
NAL. Tuesday he returned to the city and
traded the horse for another animal Later
he was seen In lunch room. When he
failed to return home Tuesday night and the
hospital records failed to show that he had
been taken to any of them for treatment
Mrs. Seuberlek became uneasy and sought
Attorney Robert w. Wells The attorney
accompanied her to police headquarters yes
terday and had aer tell Capt. Amiss of her
husbands absen ,e.
Detectives Helm and McNanee were de-
tailed upon the case by Capt. Amiss and are
making an investigation. number of
horse traders with whom, 1t is thought,
Seuberlek had dealings. were summoned
to police headquarters yesterday and
questioned by Capt. Amiss. Some of them
recalled seeing Seuberlek Tuesday, the day
he made the trade. but none of them was
able to give information that would solve
the mystery OF his disappearance. The
missing man Is said to have been of sober
habits. He is president OF the German Vor-
waerts Club of Bladensburg and member
of the board OF directors of the Prince

CRIME IN LONDON.
Awful State of Affairs Revealed by
Statistics

London is paying the penalty paid by all
large cities. Crime is inside her gates In
round numbers she has to pay nearly
$S,ooo.0Oo year to keep criminals in
check; for that is the sum paid out 10 her
police courts, prisons and prosecuting
officers. 1t fails to include stolen prom
lnals, losses to injured parties, &C Seri-
Gus crimes. such as burglary. housebreak-
Ing, counterfeiting, &c, are increasing.
Arrests are more frequent than for
merly. and each arrest adds to the ex-
pense and loss account of the city. Esti-
mates put the bill of the city's expenses
as high as S10000000. In other words.
each taxpayer or head of household of
five persons pays $G.S1 a year for Lon
don's crime. Nor do these millions make
up the total loss. There are the hundreds
of thousands taken, consumed by the
criminals hidden away, lost or destroyed.
Add then to these the amounts paid by
private parties to prevent burglary, &C..
watchmen, caretakers, burglar alarms,
door and window fastenings safes, re-
volvers, life protectors, dogs, &c, and
one begins to get n fairly good idea of
what are the losses due to crime IN a
large city.
police and courts down for 50, 149 600 the

$1,218, 625 loss by injuries, assaults, &c,
S913, 300; loss in labor of criminals. &c,
$1,167,960 or a total OF $4,000, SS5. These
appalling figures cover often only the
well-known items. How many hundreds.
thousands or even millions escape the
vibilant eye of the experts. No millions
like thirteen or fourteen are able to
measure the real losses.

TALK ON IMPROVED METHODS.
Lectures Expounding Theories to
Farmers-Farmers' Grange Election.
espondence of The Star.


UPPER MARLBORO. December Is, 1905
The first lecture on the subject Of i'm
proved methods of tobacco, corn and poul-
try raising by experts from the Department
Of Agriculture and the Maryland depart
ment of farmers institutes, to the agricul-
turists of southern Maryland, was given
yesterday at Nottingham, being delivered
from the deck of the steamer Maggie The
steamer left Baltimore Tuesday night, and
by daylight was well into the Patuxent
river.
At Hollands Cliff, Judge J. A. C. Bond Of
Westminster pointed out the old Fox set
tlement. the place where the first Quakers
came to Maryland and where the Johns and
Hopkins families first lived. He also called
attention to the place where Gen. Barney,
who led the fight of the American troops
at Badensburg, came up the river and
landed in 1914 to defend Washington.
Every time the boat lands at wharf
over 100 persons, farmers and their FAM
lilies, go aboard and listen with marked in
terest to what the experts talk about. An
interesting feature of the work is the corn
talk to the boys by Prof w. T. l.. Talia-
ferro state agricuturist, Maryland Agri-
cultural College. Mr.. G. Arthur Bell of the
Department of Agriculture is featuring on
the subject of poutry-rais.ng, and his au-
diences are made up for the most part of
ladies.
At the meeting of the Maryland State
Farmers Grange, which adjourned yester-
day, Mr.. Joseph B. Ager of Hyattsville.

Or. H B. Mcdonnell of College Park, Sec
rotary. Mrs. J. B. Ager of Hyattsville was

AID OF MERCHANT MARINE.
Position of the Leaders In the
House

Representative Grosvenor of Ohio, chair
man of the House committee on merchant
marine and fisheries, says he is confident
that Speaker Cannon, in his recent COM
mittee appointments, made no attempt to
pack the committee against the measure
recommended by the shipping commission.
1t has been rumored around the Capitol
that the speaker does not wish to have the
bill acted upon at this session.
1t was said today that the statement that
ship subsidy legislation Is doomed in the
House is hardly a fair summing up of the
situation. 1t is certain that some forms of
proposed relief cannot pass the House, but
it by no means follows that no plan of anne
Iteration of existing unfortunate conditions
In the merchant marine can receive the
sanction of the lower body.
The position of the House leaders is that
legislation for relief Of the American mer-
chant marine shall not be squandered en-
tirely upon the great ocean fiers of the
opposition in the House to any bill which
would give the existing steamship lines the
biggest part of the governments bounty
1t is declared that there is not fnsurmount-
able opposition to a bill which would build
up freight-carrying and mail-carrying ves-
sells and send the commerce of the United
States in American bottoms into seas which
now are seldom visited by Yankee ships.

Want Bond Approved.

Justice of the Peace Mills was yesterday
cited by Justice Barnard of the Supreme
Court OF the District of Columbia to show
cause the 22d instant why he should not
accept an appeal bond alleged to have been
offered by Luigi Alessi. The rule to show
cause was the result of the fling of a petit
ton for writ Of mandamus by Attorney
George p. Hoover in behalf Of Alessi.
The latter explains that he was defendant
In a suit before Justice of the Peace Mills
and that Judgment was rendered against
him He decided to appeal from the judy
ment to the District Supreme Court. 1t
is charged that the justice OF the peace
refused to accept the appeal bond offered
by Alessi, basing such refusal on the ground
that proper notice of the action had not
been given the plaintiff. This ruling was
contrary to the views OF Alessi.

ExPERIMENTED ON STEER.
San Francisco Doctor Found Brain
Action Electrical Phenomenon.

DR.. A. B. Atkins of San Francisco claims
to have proved, by an experiment made on q
steer in the stock yards at Butchertown,
that brain action is an electrical phenome-
non. His theory has the support of Capt.
L. D. Wildman of the United States Signal
Corps, who assisted in the experiment. The
apparatus consisted of two platinum cleo
trodes connected with a long copper wire
running to a very sensitive galvanometer.
The electrodes We're inserted in two lobes
of the brain of living steer. After the first
CULVER caused by the insertion of the plati-
mum points, the animal lay quiet and yet
the needle of the galvanometer was de-
fected four points on the scale and re-
manned so for nearly-siX minutes.
Then the animals throat was cut I'M
mediately the needle detected nineteen
points in the same direction. Then the nee
die gradually returned to its normal posi-
ton.
AS no battery was used DR., Atkins Is of
the opinion that the electric current intro
duced into the galvanometer originated in
the animals brain; In other words, that it
was the brain action itself.
DIR. Atkins has previously demonstrated
that electrical force is developed In the
lungs and hearts of animals, and in pa
per recently read before the San Francisco
County Society of Physicians and Surgeons
he argued that the mystery of gravitation
could only be solved by attributng 1t to
electrical action. I'm fact" he declared,
the life principle itself is of electric orr
gin"

LACK OF CANDIDATES.
Navy Unable to Secure Competent
Civil Engineers,

Rear Admiral Endicott, chief Of the
bureau of yards. has reported to the Sec
rotary of the Navy that the bureau is much
embarrassed by the lack of officers and
the difficulty of securing competent per-
sons to fill existing vacancies. THE bu-
reau," says Admiral Endicott, attributes
the lack of competent candidates to the
prosperous condition existing In the pri-
vate business world. Young engineers of
ability are in such demand and so profit
ably employed by private enterprises that
they are not attracted by the inducements
offered by the government service. The
benefits of retirement, medical attendance,
social distinction, etc, do not appear to
appeal to the young man of today. He
apparently wants money at once and in
the largest possible quantities.
THE pay of the corps of civil engineer
Is one of the smallest in the naval service
bestowed upon commissioned officers and is
inadequate for the character of the service
rendered and compares unfayorably with
that obtaining In civil life. One pay table
having been established for the three sea-
going corps-the line, the medical corps and
the pay corps-that of distinctiyely shore
duty corps should be equalized with respect
to each other where the attainments re-
quired and services performed are of a
similarly high technical order.
ut is recommended that Congress be
asked to grant to the technical shore-duty
corps, including the civil engn corps,
the pay and allowances established by law
for naval constructors and assistant naval
constructors, Such an enactment would be
IN the direction of equalizlng the pay of
officers and remove serious discrimination
which has long existed.
''In the absence of such enactment and
the establishing of a general pay table for
all corps of the navy based upon rank
there should be such revision of the rank
in this corps as would result in compensa-
ton adequate to the character of the SER
vice exacted and make such compensa ton
sufficient TO attract the best talent among
young men in civil life"

Relief for the Russian Jews.
the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Stars
Permit me to correct an erroneous state
ment which appeared in some of the Amer
lean daily papers anent the representative
of the "bund," or General Jewish Working
mems League of Russia and Poland, DR..
M. Gurevitz, who has just arrived in this
country. The announcement that this man
is ito supervise the gathering of money
here for the self-defense of the Jews in
Russia as well as for the fight against the
government" is utterly incorrect. The
Jewish Self-Defense Association, recently
organized and headed by DR.. ]. l.. Magnus,
has absolutely nothing IN common with any
political party or parties. Its sole and only
purpose is to enable the Jews, who are in
constant dread of their tormentors, to de-
fend themselves, protect their lives and
properties and the honor Of their wives and
daughters. This association Is merely to
afford means of defense for the Jews in
Russia against all that may attack them,
whether they be revolutionary mobs or hire
lngs of czardom and autocratic rule. The
Jewish Defense Associat ton has now re-
ceived the sanction of such reliable person
ages as Louis Marshall, Jacob H. Schiff,
Rev. Dr.eJoseph Silverman. etc. Next to
the general relief fund this defense associa-
ton is most laudable cause, and full
worthy Of the support of every honest and
peace-loving man. All those DESTROYS to
send their contributions for the Jewish
Self-Defense Association will please direct
them to Dr. J. l.. Magnus, 165 East Broad

what did you do to amuse the children
in London last Christmas?" was my next
query.
VERY much the same thing that am do
ing to entertain the children in this coun-
try this Christmas" Marceline answered,
enough there was something very novel
took place on Christmas night after the au-
dience had all left the theater. Some one
in the company started the idea of giving
the children performers Christmas tree,
to which we ali contributed for presents.
"The manager that night requested
that no one leave after his or her act had
been gone through with. So the moment the
last of the audience had gone we all gain
cred on the stage, each In characteristic
makeup, and with a rush a great Christ
mas tree, held in mall draped truck. was
pushed from the wings to the center or
the stage by one of the biggest men per-
formers, dressed and made up like Santa
Claus. The tree was loaded with presents
for the five or six youngsters ana happier
lot of children you couldn't wish to see.
This Santa Claus idea satisfies children
love of anything that is made up and 1t Is
one that can be used now with splendid adj
vantage. Abroad Christmas wouldn't have
any meaning to the little folks without
their real live st. Nicholas. in his warm,
downy clothes and with his pack on his
back"
Comes Easy to Him.
My last question to Marceiine. as my
first. was: How do you do TT How can
you make me and thousand other people
laugh out loud the moment you come on
the stage?'
by being natural and easy-not making
any effort about anything I do. and 1t Is
the keynote to success with children. They
are simple in everything they do and the
person who entertains them must make 1t
any jerks. To go back to my performances
chief the man who talks to me works ev-
cry one up to thinking 1t is an impossible
feat Then when turn over and land with
both feet on the same spot that they left.
my smile and the quiokness with which go
at something else makes the children think
that 1t Is the easies'. thing in the world
Another way of working up to the same
end Is to keep giving them surprises. II

ment that is used count tremendously in

DoMIN1cANs OBJECT.
Fear That Pending Treaty Gives to
Morales Too Much Power.

II developed at a meeting of the Senate
committee on foreign relations yesterday
that 1t is Santo Domingo and not the United
States that Is anxious to have amended the
pending treaty in relation to Dominican
financial affairs. The seventh articles Of
the treaty provides that the United States
at the request of the Dominican republic
shall grant the latter such assistance as the
United States may deem proper to restore
credit, preserve order, increase the eff
cheney of the civil administration and adj
vance the material progress and welfare OF
the Dominican republic.
This article is construed to give the United
States authority to send warships to the
ports of the republic to enforce the terms
of the treaty and put down any disorders
that might threaten the smooth operation
OF the convention.
Secretary Root was before the Senate
committee yesterday and testified that the
Dominican people desired to have the treaty
amended to provide that such assistance
may be called for by the congress Of Santo
Domingo. Under the present phraseology
it appears that the authority to call upon
the United States rests with the president
of Santo Domingo. Opposition to the plac-
ing of such great powers in the hands of
President Morales has been manifested In
the republic, and 1t is said that without the
amendment the Dominican republic would
refuse to ratify the convention. 1t is
present treaty that II put In operation in
it's present form Morales could hold the
presidency forever and that his heirs would
take 1t In succession.
Secretary Root gave the committee no
light on this feature of the demand for the
amendment, merely ascribing the request
to a desire on the part of the Dominican
people to make a change in that portion
affecting internal affairs IN Santo Domingo
No action was taken concerning the
treaty. as consent has been granted to the
IL ~ -
gress Secretary Root will be given a fur
Their hearing. Most of the time was occu-
pied by Secretary Root in completing his re-
port in relation to the reorganization of the
consular service.

DENIED BY MR.. DUNLOP.
No Arrangement Made With the Cross.
Town Line

President Dunlop of the Capital Traction
Company was at the Capitol yesterday and
took occasion to deny the truth of the report
that deal was on between the Great Falls
and Old Dominion Company and the Capt.
tai Traction Company by which the bill
providing for the construction and opera
ton of a cross-town line by the latter con-
Germ Is to be pushed, unobstructed by OPP
position from the Old Dominion interests.
Mr.. Dunlop said he had heard, but not
from any authoritative source, that the
Old Dominion cross-town line bin would
not be introduced at this session.
A report has been actively circulated of
late TO the effect that harmony existed
between these two formerly opposed in
terests, and that they would both push the
Capital Traction bill this year.
