LONCWORTH WOULD
 FURNISH MISSIONS
Thinks None But Wealthy Can at Pres ent Hold Diplomatic Posi-
 tions Alb oad.

Washington, December N-Representa- tive Longworth of Ohio introduced a bill providing for the purchase at a cost of not over $50O0,00O of buildings for the United States missions at all foreign capitals where the United States main tains ambassadors or ministers.
 MT. Longworth explained that the un- deriving purpose of the bill lis to re- move the necessary qualification of great wealth for the holding of high diplomatic office under the United States
 Tt is an open and notorious fact" he added, that with the very small salaries paid to our diplomatic envoys in compari- son with those of other countries, none but very rich men can aspire to these offices; that no man of however great learning, experience or ability can rep resent this country abroad unless he be a man of great wealth. No matter how much salaries might be increased there would always be an evidence of the wealth of each particular incumbent ae- cording to the style of residence he occupied. If, however, suitable and dignified official residence be given to each of our diplomatic -envoys, then at least so far as external appearances are concerned, the rich man and the poor man will appear alike"

Will Finish Frieze in Capitol.

Washington. December 2.-It was de- termined at meeting of sub-commit- tee of the Senate and House committees in the library that the brumidi frieze In the rotunda of the capitol should be com pleted at an early date. The unfinished condition of this frieze has been an eye sore to the American tourists and citizens of Washington for many years, though it has furnished the entertaining bit of description given by capitol guides. The frieze is about seventy-fve feet above the main floor of the capitol at the base of the dome It depicts scenes in the history of the new world from the time of it's discovery down to period just prior to the revolutionary war.

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1905-07-30

A man giving the name Of Brenner
was arrested last night by Officer Oberg
for passing forged checks on Herman
Wise. A. Danielson. 2. A. Stokes, Carl.
son Brothers, William Book and Charles
Wise. The cheeks in nearly every in
stance were in the sums Of $3.50 and
Brenner's work was rapid. He cashed
all the fcticious paper between the hours
Of eight and nine O'Clock.
An attempt to cash second check at
the store Of Herman Wise proved the un.
doing of this wayward young man. The
cash last night was in charge Of Mrs.
Wise, who honored the first check with
out consulting Mr.. Wise, which is the
usual procedure. On seeing the second
check Mrs. Wise, believing that all was
not right, made the excuse that she had
not sufficient funds but would obtain
the money from Mr. Wise Going to the
rear OF the store Mrs. Wise told her hus-
band OF her suspicious. Coming to the
front Of the store Mr.. Wise discovered
that the bird had flown. A search was
instituted and Officer Oberg pressed in
10 service. Brenner was discovered in
Greenwall's lunch counter near the de.
pot where it is thought he intended to
engage a room for the night and depart
the first thing today, hoping that the
closing OF the banks would aid him in
his escape.
Brenner was arrested and taken to the
city prison where it developed that the
suave individual had victimized in adj
dition 10 Herman Wise, Charles Wise,
A. Danielson, Carlson Brothers, P. A.
Stokes and William Book. The checks
were made out in the name of Fred E.
Anderson and the signature Of Jens H.
Hansen was forged in each instance and
bore a rubber stamp imprint in Hansen's
name. Being Saturday night and as the
amounts were all small it was supposed
that the checks were for Brenner's week
ly wage. Astoria National Bank paper
was used. Brenner wore a pair Of shoes
purchased it is thought from Peterson
& Brown and this firm may have been
vietimiaed.
