the vendetta, who knows? But every
thing to-day points to politics.
And now comes the story told by the
passports, that seems to point to polit-
cal murder There were two pass
ports found among the belongings Of
the murdered men. One was issued to
young Demetri on January 25, 1905.
This was a passport from Macedonia.
issued by the Turkish government. It
bore the seal of the sultan. Half Of
the document was in French, the other
half in Turkish.
1t described him as smooth-shaven,
about 33 years of age, medium size, a
native of Macedonia and a subject Of
His Imperial Majesty the Sultan. The
other passports were old and inde-
chiperable.

that their murderers were agents of

that they fled here, we'll knowing they

they might be safe. They went West

TAKING DOWN TIMBERS
coNNEcTIoUT AVENUE BRIDGE
SUPPORTS COST 37o,ooo.

One OF the most interesting and important
phases In the construction of the new Con-
necticut Avenue bridge was passed last
week when the supporting timbers were all
lowered and the Ave massive concrete
arches allowed to stand by their own
strength. The lowering Of the timbers was
comparatively simple task. as 1t involved
only the tapping OF long series OF wedges
which were built into the false work at the
beginning of the construction. To the lay
observer the bridge presents little II any
difference in appearance on account of the
lowering Of the timbers, because the latter
were dropped only an inch from the inner
side Of the concrete arches. At that, how
ever. the wood is now clear of the concrete,
and the work OF tearing It down entirely
will be pushed ahead rapidly. When pur-
chased the million and more feet of timber
In the false work of the bridge cost about
10000. much of 1t, of course, was cut into
such shape that It will be a total loss.
The demolition Of the supporting timber
Of the Connecticut Avenue bridge Is being
watched with keen interest by civil en-
gineers and bridge builders all over the
country because the new structure. winch
will grace the gorge of Rock creek, Is one
Of the longest concrete bridges in the world.
and the absolute determination Of the
strength of each of the five arches with Its
great span of $50 feet Is taken as dec.ded
Throughout its construction the bridge has
been under close supervision of w. j. Dou-
glas, engineer of bridges, District of Column
bia and several articles from his pen, de-
scriptive of the structure, have appeared IN
publications devoted to the trade.

MIR. HEYL RECOVERING.
His Injuries Not So Severe as Was
Supposed at First.

John H. Heyl, president Of the McCub-
bin Company, who was so badly injured in
an automobile accident on the outskirts of
Atlantic City last Sunday night, is pro-
crossing very well toward recovery, and
was removed from the Atlantic City Hos
pital Thursday night to Galen Hall, where
he is receiving the best of medical atten-
ton and good nursing at the hands Of his
wife and daughter. Closer examination
showed that, though Mr.. Heyl had mirac-
ulous escape from death, his injuries were
less than at first supposed, being confined
to a fractural collarbone, a dislocated
shoulder a broken hand and several severe
bruises, abrasions and cuts. His splendid
constitution and pluck have carried him
safely over the first stage Of treatment,
and. having recovered from the nervous
shock of the accident, Mr.. Heyl, though
still in much pain, is regarded as out Of
danger.

were in the automobile when 1t struck the

ing repaired their machine. are about to

SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL.
Boy Confesses to Having Stolen Mum
Der Of Bicycles.

0SA Va ASASySA0o.
When Percy Tyler, alias warfeld. If
teen-year-old colored boy, was arraigned
before Judge DeLacy in the Juvenile Court
yesterday upon information charging the
theft of several bicycles, he confessed
to being a member of a gang Of cofored
boys that has been taking wheels from the
front Of buildings in the city for several
months, and at the conclusion of his testi-
mony he was ordered to be sent to the Re-
form School until he is twenty-one years OF
age. The case was worked up by Detect
ives Grant and Trumbo from headquarters
cinct, who placed the boy under arrest yes
terday
According to the boys story on the stand
yesterday, he and Harris Scott, who was
sent to the reform school Thursday for
the larceny Of bicycles, and several other
small oolored boys who live in the neigh
borhood OF 4th and Ridge streets north
west have been systematically stealing bl-
cycles from the front Of office and other
buildings about the city. He told Judge
DeLacy about the theft of seven wheels.
Detectives Trumbo and Grant state that
they have implicated the boy in the theft
of ten bicycles and that 1t is possible that
additional cases may be reported.
When Tyler was arrested he was riding
a wheel, the detectives say, that was made
OF the various parts of five different plcy-
cles that had been stolen.
When Scott was arraigned several days
ago upon the charges Of larceny the clue
was furnished, and Tyler made con1es-
sion of the wholesale larceny of wheels
Some Of those who were in court and from
wheels were Edward E. Deardoff and
Charles Dippmar, the former of y r street
northeast and the latter residing at 1913

UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Belief That Henry Lewis Met With
Foul Play

EOu1 -
Detectives Hartigan and Baur Of head
quarters assisted by Precinct Detective
Forteney of the second precinct, are max
ing close investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the case Of Henry
Lewis, colored, who lives on I'd street
southwest and who was found unconscious
in a stable in the rear of As N street north
west early Friday morning. AS stated In
The Star yesterday, Lewis was found to
have a fractured skull. He was removed
to the Homeopathic Hospital, where it
was stated last night that he had regained
consciousness but was still in a precarious
condition.
Lewis was found by John Jackson. It
was at first thought he had been kicked by
a horse, but the story which was told by
some Of the persons who said they reached
the scene soon after Lewis was found led
the police to suspect that he had been hurt
through human fundamentally. The de-
tectives were then assigned to the case.
Lewis has circular wound on the fore
part Of his head, and the skull is split
open in three directions. The wound could
have been inflicted, 1t is stated, either by
a horses shoe or by some circular iron in
strument in the hands of man. The
place where Lewis was found, it is stated,
is under an opening In the loft and there
is possibility that he fell through that
opening
The statements of Lewis since he re-
the doctor who attended him he said he
had not been kicked by horse; then he
said he didn't know how he was injured.
When Detectives Hartigan, Baur and
Forteney talked with him he told them he
was not struck by any one, so far as he
could remember and he said he had no
quarrel with anybody before he received
his injuries.
