AS she settled into her place the
mighty car swung round in a circle,

to be confined by such gentle measures.

Franklin S. Long twenty-three years old,
was arrested Friday night by Detective
Cornwell upon request from the Philadel-
phia police department. The young man
was found at his home, 1854 Sd street north
west. He offered no objection to accom-
panying the detective to headquarters. and
was held in custody to await the arrival
of an officer from Philadelphia. 1t was
stated in the message that he is wanted in
the city mentioned to answer charge or
passing worthless checks. Mr.. Long denies
that he passed any worthless checks. and
says he intends to bring suit against some
body for false arrest. He says he had
three checks cashed in Philadelphia They
were given on the National Bank of At
lantic City, he said, where he has money money
deposited. An officer came here from RMS ma
to that city for trial. Long returned with

AGAINST AMERICAN FISHERMEN.
Newfoundland Premier Has Proposed a
New Bill in Legislature.

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. April s-Premier
Bond has moved in the legislature for the
adoption of a new bill against American
fishing vessels It provides that If an
American vessel is found within three miles
of the coast of Newfoundland, with bait,
supplies or outfits purchased within any
port in the island, the vessel equipment,
stores and cargo shall be forfeited.
1t also is provided that the task of prov
ing that the bait, supplies or outfits were
not purchased in violation of this act will
rest upon the owners of the vessels. The
bill was opposed by the opposition under
the leadership of former Minister of
Finance Morine, but division of the house
sustained the premier by vote of 10 to g.
In moving for the adoption of the bill
the premier claimed that the treaty of 1918
does not give the Americans right to fish
in the bays, harbors and creeks on that
section of the coast where they were grant
ed certain treaty privileges. His conten-
ton was based upon the fact that the
treaty does not specifically state that the
bays, harbors and creeks shall be open to
American fishermen
Leader Morine of the opposition contend
ed that the premiers argument in support
of his measure was untenable and declared
that under the terms of the treaty the
Americans have the right to land on the
island and to do everything necessary to
secure cargoes of fish for their vessels.

CAVALRY TROOP IN PROSPECT.
Organization May Become Part of Dis
trict National Guard.

An enthusiastic meeting of former Ameri-
can troopers In the regular and volunteer
service was held yesterday in the Armory
building, 9Th and l. streets northwest, with
Capt. Oden H. Lake a cavalryman of note
in the chair. The purpose of the meeting
was to take further steps toward the for
nation in this city of a troop of cavalry,
which it Is hoped will become eventually =
part of the District National Guard. A
committee of eight was appointed on organ
ization and recruiting.
The decision was reached that the MEM
bership shall consist of only former bona
fide cavalrymen, and that men from the ar
tillery and infantry branches of the army
will not be admitted. 1t is proposed to give
the District q creditable volunteer troop of
cavalry, which will be later increased in
size to a squadron. 1t was also decided
not to have a fashy ''play-soldier'' dis
tinctive uniform. like the crack troops in
some of the large cities, but to adopt the
regular army cavalry uniforms and outfit.
Recruits are being received at every meet
ing, it was stated, and the organization has
met with enthusiastic reception at the
hands of former cavalry officers. All for
mer cavalry men in Washington and Vicin
ity have been invited to attend the next
meeting to be held Friday evening at the
L street armory. AT this meeting it is the
expectation that the roster of the troop
will be completed, after which the PROPOSE
ton TO connect the organization with the
District National Guard will be placed be-
fore the military board of that body. The
list of honorary members was stated to
contain the names of army officers, active
and retired, of note.
A number of years ago there was in
Washington troop of cavalry known as
THE Governors Guard" which always
acted as an escort to Governor Cooke of the
District. When that troop disbanded an
other was formed, known as THE Presi-
dents Guard and did escort and guard
duty for the chief executive notable oc-
casions The membrs of these troops gen.
orally owned their own horses and pur-
chased their distinctive uniforms, which
were snowy, but not as gaudy as those
worn by some city troops. The members
as a rule, were well-to-do business men
and their functions were rated rather
exclusive functions

BUILDING OPERATIONS.
Washington Shows Big Gain in Vaue Of
Construction,

Washington occupies a prominent place
in the table Of comparative building sta
tistics for March, 1905, compiled by the
American Contractor.
For the national capital the total cost
for last month is stated as 81 ,S79.1e9, as
compared with $97s,O4s for March of last
year, a gain of 90 per cent.
Toledo presents the banner report, show
ing a gain of 1852 per cent over March
a year ago. This gain, however, is not
evenly distributed, as one project involves
an outlay of 100000. The gains in the
large centers of population New York, Chi
cago and Philadelphia, were expected as
a natural result of national prosperity.
Des Mofnes, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Omaha,
Nashville and Milwaukee, solid and con-
sentative cities, not given to spurts In
building operations, show an exceptional
increase. The reports from Pacific coast
cities may be accepted as tokens of earnest
that our fellow citizens throughout the
land will be busily engaged this year in
the construction of buildings
Taking into consideration that the past
year was considered remarkably active in
building operations, the further increase
this year clearly indicates that an enor-
nous volume of building construction will
be undertaken in every section of the
United States. The few cities which show
falling off may recoup themselves dur
ing the present month

Joined In the protest of Congregational min
listers against the acceptance of thes Rookie
feller gift to the American board. In a
communication to the committee Of the
protesting clergymen DR.. Strong says:
We are told by those who approve the
acceptance Of the gift that 1t Is not the
business of church, charitable organiza-
ton or missionary society to sit In judy
ment on the character of the contributions
10 lts work. This simply begs the real
question at Issue. Can a church or society
thus wash its hands of all responsibility
touching all gifts which may come to Its
treasury without violating fundamental
principles Of ethics?
"A man may become possessed of money
or which he has no moral right In a great
variety of ways, but whatever the method
the fundamental ethical principle remains
the same, namely, that q man has no right
to give that which is not his, and no one
has right to receive gift which the
donor has no right to give. This ethical
principle. which is beyond all possible ques-
ton, is precisely applicable to the case In
hand, and the prudential committee can
not vacate 1t by refusing to recognize 1t.
1t Is charged by many that Rockefeller
has acquired a large proportion of his
wealth by illegitimate methods. and tina,
to such ill-gotten gains he has no moral
right Qegal rights do not enter into the
diScuSSion). MultitudeS believe that undis-
puted facts raise reasonable doubt, to say
the least, whether Mr.. Rockefeller has a
moral right to the money which he gives
away. 1t follows, therefore, that the board
has no right to accept his gift until that
reasonable doubt is removed.
II would not say that the prudential COM
mittee has a right to accept this principle.
1t has no right to reject 1t. The acceptance
of ethical principles is not optional.
For more than twenty years we have
deplored the fact that workingmen as a
class refuse to attend church. When asked
why, the habitual reply is that the churches
belong to the capitalistic class, which is
not dealing justly by labor When men
who have kept back the laborers hire On
tribute largely to the religious objects and
their gifts are accepted workingmen be-
lieve that the church condones injustice and
are embittered toward her.
1.-THE conscience of the church touching
wealth profoundly needs quickening. The
new conditions of society demand higher
ethical standards. This is most favorable
time to respond to the new need"

NEW YORK, April S-1A Berlin cable says

many there 1t is asserted that the prov

and the newspapers strongly urge intending
immigrants to turn their course to southern
Brazil rather than to the United States.
BraZips trade is in German hands, and as
the authorities employ no pressure in the
way of language tests, the German has a
fair field for his labors, and is not obliged
