press Company

PACoS
Ralph Jones and Charles H. Small aged
sixteen and seventeen years, respectively,
were arraigned before Judge Strider in the
Juvenile Court this morning upon nine diff
ferent charges of larceny from the United
States Express Company. Jones was sent
to the reform school during his minority.
and sentence was delayed in the case of the
other boy, as it was found he was past
seventeen years old and under the law must
be tried In the government branch of the
Police Court, which is presided over by
Judge Kimball.
Judge Strider continued this case until to-
morrow in order to give Probation Officer
Copp of the board of children's guardians
time to make a full investigation of the
boys age.
The defendants, 1t was stated, were both
in the employ Of the express company dur
ing the past year, and as packages were
being constantly missed from the wagons
on which they worked as helpers, they were
transferred to the Office of the company.

drawer, which was always kept under lock
and key, showed shortages at intervals
The detectives were notified, and Capt
Boardman detailed Detectives Father

the case for some time without obtaining
a clew. The cashier of the company dur

Marquis of Anglesey, Personally and
Financially Eccentric.

MONTE CARLO, March 14.-The Marquis
of Anglesey died here today.
The marquis was notable through his per-

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Neither Belligerent Nation Making
Any Definite Move.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 1.-THE for

garding the peace rumors today, again
categorically insisting that Russia has not
the slightest idea of peace. There is moth

feet that Japan intends to make a formal
proposition to enter into peace negotiations
within a week, and they are received with
great scepticism. An official of the foreign

Associated Press talked expressed great

NEW MOVING STAIRWAY.
Attracts Attention of Crowds a
Kann's Spring Opening.

Put out the right foot, ladies, and step
off 1t won't hurt YOU" says the usher at
the top of the new moving stairway which
has just been installed at S. kann. Sons Il
Co.'S store at Sth street and Market space.
The moving stairway is indeed unique
show, and may be said to constitute one or
the principal features of the grand spring
opening which began today. All day long
a stream of interested women. and some
gentlemen, too, have been riding on the
moving stairway. which is in operation IN
the center of the immense building. running
from the first to the second floor. Inc Wo-
men come in one of the many entrances on
the lower floor. make general Inspection
of the goods on display there and then
wander over to the moving stairway, and
are taken off, in the center of the military
department.
The millinery department, by the way.
has been transformed into a fairy bower,
or something else lust about as elaborate.
There is a noticeable absence or mowers
and plants and other superficial decora-
tons. as the management has come to the
conclusion that when the goods on sale are
beautiful and decorative in themselves II
is useless to detract from their beauty by
other effects. Consequently the depart
ment IS a maze of hats-small hats and
large hats, varying in color from green and
brown to plum color and violet
The fashion makers have gone back some
where in the eighteenth century for their
styles and have produced an extremely
small headgear-that is, small for woman.
In fact. there are few from Paris that are
so small they have been termed the mi
croscopic toques." Then, too, there are polo
turbans, tricornes, continentals. marquse
and egg-shape turbans The leading Amer
lean and French mliiners have done their
best to make Kann's display the finest in
the history of this progressive business
house, and Washington milliners have con-
tributed styles which they declare to be
particularly adaptable to Washington wo-
men. -- -
The spring waists are attracting consid-
cradle attention also, and a number of bar
gains are Headed with an "organdie spe-
cial." .t7
If small hats are to be worn, parasols will
be needed, and full line of these on
display. In another department there is a
profusion of suits and dresses.
The entire store is interesting, and right
in the center of it is the moving stairway.
the first to be installed in the south.
