MANAGERS DISCOURAGED.
Slow Progress in Matter of Increasing
Y. M. c. A. Building Fund.

For the first time during the campaign
to raise money for the building and furnish
ing of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton there is gloom at the headquarters Of
the committees on 18th street. The week
has been dreary and it is found that such
a condition makes it exceedingly difficult to
approach people for contributions. Secre-
tary Shaw recently told gathering of cit
liens interested in the Y. NJ. c. A. work
that money talks and a death-like silence
In that line has prevailed for several days.
and is still unbroken at headquarters. There
remain but seventeen days. including to-
day, in which to raise more than $4,000
to secure the $4,000 offered by Messrs.
Woodward & Lothrop, provided the entire
$4,000 was subscribed by May 1. Where
that $4,000 is to come from the men at
headquarters do not know.
There was contributed yesterday $1I5.
OF this amount the sum of 500 was sent
to Mrs. H. B. +. Mcfarland of the eXecu-
tive committee of women from a person
who is sojourning in the city but a few
days. The balance of the amount received
was sent in in small amounts. The day
before about 5000 was secured. So far
there has been contributed, not including
the contribution from Messrs. Woodward
& Lothrop, total of 1921, and there is
still to be raised just $40. 1876. The failure
to receive more substantial response is the
cause OF the OeSpOnQenCy. NO one VIII
admit a doubt that the money will be Sc
cured in the end, from some source or an
other, but whence no one seems to have
much idea. Much effort has been spent in
organization, but it has been mostly work
and little returns.
There is earnestness to help in many
quarters. but the amount contributed from
such sources is usually small. One of the
most Self-Sacrifcing instances SO far in
the campaign was that at the gym" BAN
quet last night. Each month during the
season the volunteer leaders of classes in
the physical department have laid by
sum of money to be devoted at the end of
the years work in defraying the expenses
of an excursion and vacation along the
river or seashore. At the banquet, how
ever, the entire fund was turned over to

time Is growing short and little progress
has been made. A meeting was called for
this afternoon at 1 o'clock. After luncheon

that a movement had been started among

sssoREn AT PowELL,s REPORT.
Haitian Government Does Not Like tho
Imputation Of Helplessness.

1mput4l1on or AeiplesSness.
Mr.. Eeger, the Haitian minister. called at
the State Department again today to talk
about the attitude of Mr. Powell. United
States minister at Port au Prince. He has
already discussed that matter with Secre-
tary Taft and Second Assistant Secretary
Adee. but he desired that Acting Secretary
Loomis also should be made acquainted with
his governments position from his own lips.
1t seems that the matter of special conn
plant against Mr.. Powell Is that he advised
the State Department here that the Haitian
government would probably not be able to
maintain the peace II there was an attempt
at an uprising in connection with the depor-
tation of the Syrians from Haiti.
Although the postpOnement Of the execu-
ton Of the decree Of expulsion operated to
prevent fair test of the accuracy of the
minister's prophecy. the Haitian govern
ment did not relish the imputation of impo-
tency, and consequently feels rather sore
toward Mr.. Powell. Mr.. Leger. however, did
not make any formal request for the re-
movai of Minister Powell, and before pro-
ceeding in the matter will await further adj
vices from his government, which are ex-
pected by mail tomorrow.

OFFICERS UNDER CHARGES.
Policemen Accused of Assaulting al
Employe of British Embassy.

When Policemen Samuel /. Weber and
Charles H. Ehlers of the eighth precinct
station were arraigned in Police Court be-
fore Judge Scott yesterday on a charge of
assault on John Pinbero. an employe of the
British embassy, the men pleaded not guilty
and demanded jury trial Their case will
come up in few days, when the next jury
Is impaneled.
Policeman Weber was arraigned this
morning on a charge of assault on William
Adams, whom he was trying to arrest. He
pleaded not guilty to this charge also and
demanded jury trial.
These two cases concern the same trans
action. Weber went to the house of Adams,
it is stated. to serve warrant of arrest
on him. When he attempted to take him
into custody Adams put up strong de-
Tense and escaped. When he was brought

Adams was convicted by Judge Kimball.
Weber was not to be outdone, and the
next time he went after him he got the help

ed and Adams was taken without trouble.
The first time the policeman went to the
house, Adams says, he was hit on one side
of the head by the officer, receiving bad
wound When the second visit took place,
Adams asserts, he received another wound
on the other side of the head at the hands
of the officer.
When the officers were taking Adams to
the police station, it is alleged, they were
met by John Pinheiro and another employe
Of the British embassy. The latter stopped.
and the officers ordered them to continue on
their way. They did not do SO, and Pin
heiro alleges that the officer broke his UNI
brella with his club and otherwise assaulted
him. Pinhetro also says that Officer Ehlers.
who was with Weber at the time, assaulted
him while helping his partner. Both officers
are therefore accused of the assault.
The officers state that they did no more
than they had to do in the performance OF
their duties, with which they say Pinheiro
was interfering.

DELCASSE GIVES DINNER
In Honor of German Ambassador
Radolin at Paris.

PARIS. April Is. Foreign Minister Del
casse will give dinner tonight in honor
of the German ambassador, Prince Won
Radolin. This In conjunction with the fact
that Prince and Princess Won Radolin &C.
cupied President Loubet's box at the opera
last night gives an outward aspect of a
more favorable condition of the Morocco
question.
The officials here also take an optimistic
view of the situation, saying that the
opening of negotiations on the subject of
Morocco has been retarded chiefly by ex-
aggerations and menaces in the German
press.
The French foreign office specifically
denies the report to the effect that the Sui
tan of Morocco is about to invite the
French mission to withdraw from Fee. The
last official advices from Tes showed that
the French negotiations were progressing
satisfactorily.
A statement published today that France
has issued an official note to the powers
on the subject of Morocco is inaccurate,
and apparently was based upon the rs
suance Of the monthly departmental cir
culars of the French consuls in Morocco
dealing with current commercial questions.

Smith, alleged to be Herbert Andrews, an
escaped patient from an insane asylum in
Washington D. c., has turned up here.
Smith talked considerably on the streets
last night and exhibited a copy of a Wash

much too large for him and wore a hat
about two sizes too small.
When arrested he was armed with re-
volyer and a razor, and will be held on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons I'M
til the Washington authorities can be heard
from. At the station house Smith grew in
sanely violent and paced up and down his
cell like mad man. Finally he set fire to
some papers in his cell and increased the
fury of the flames with his outer garments.

conflagration.

property is situated In the northwest Sec
