MANY POINTS ARGUED
DISCUSSION OF THE PRoPCS SEQ
COPYRIGHT LAW.

The second full day of hearings on the
bill amending and modifying the copyright
laws, held before the joint patent commit
tees of the Senate and House yesterday, re-
suited, from expression Of members OF the
two committees, in the conclusion that the
proposed bill will be largely disregarded
when the actual work of forming lesisla-
ton on this subject is undertaken.
Although many of those heard, who rep
resent interests to receive benefits under
the measure gave hearty endorsement to
it's provisions, practically all admitted that
its various sections were open to criticism.
Amendments to perfect the administra-
ton of the proposed law were offered by
Attorney Ansley Wilcox of Buffalo. Form
err Representative Alfred Lucking of De-
trot. wished to amend the provision re-
garding court jurisdiction. David c. Har-
rington of Scranton, Pa, an attorney rep
resenting correspondence school interests,
will submit amendments. Arthur Stuart,
chairman of the copyright committee OF
the American Bar Association, who had
hand in drawing the bill, defended its pro-
visions, but acknowledged the necessity
of amendments. John ]. Sullivan, repre-
senting the typographical interests, wanted
further security for American manufacture
of books.
For the book publishers, George H. rut-
nam of New York urged the acceptance
of the compromise of interests which the
bill represented.
The clash between the manufacturers of
talking machines and self-playing pianos.
and musical composers received the atten-
ton Of the committee during the conclud-
ing portion Of the session. Nathan Bur-
kan of New York argued that the con-
stitutional provision guaranteed to authors
included protection for musicians against
having their compositions used mechani-
cally without compensation to them. A.
L. Tindale of New York, taking the same
position, closed the hearing for the day.
The other side to this question is to be
heard tomorrow

tive have up to the present time proved
futile.

Charged With Burglary.

CnarSeo Win burglary.
Robert N. Groves. jr., twenty-five years
of age, of Philadelphia, Pa, who recently
came to Washington for visit, is in Gus
tody at the Alexandria county Jail on a
charge of burglary. His case will come
before the grand jury of the Alexandria
county court December II next Groves
was arrested last Wednesday evening
about Z o'clock by Mr.. Richard Wilson,
accused of entering Mr.. Wilson's home at
Four-mile Run, Alexandria county, for the
purpose of robbery. The accused was
given preliminary hearing before Magis-
trate Whitehead at Arlington, and, it is
said, admitted his guilt. He was held for
the action of the grand jury.
Groves tells a rather remarkable story
and is perhaps one of the oldest prisoners
the county officials have had under their
care for some time. He states that he
came to Washington from Baltimore about
two weeks ago to see the city, and had
a quarrel with a lady where he boarded,
and that he subsequently was informed
that the lady had secured warrant for
his arrest. When he learned of this he
said, he left Washington, and it was his
intention after arriving at Alexandria to
take train for the south and leave this
section of the country.
About $50 O'clock however he said he
became fatigued and sat down in the
woods for a rest. Shortly thereafter, he
declares, he heard a voice saying: Frank,
don't shoot him.
Groves declares that he then walked to
the point whence the sound came and he
again heard voice which seemed to say:
HE is not the party" He says that at
this juncture he ran for distance of about
two miles until he reached Mr.. Wilson s
house, and that he broke the glass in a
large window and jumped through into the
house. He declares that he did not then
feel safe and after going through the house
he went into the barn and hid in the hay
loft After being in the loft for a short
time, he says. he was discovered by Mr..
Wilson and placed under arrest.
Groves says he feels perfectly safe. When
his case is called. he says, he will explain
all and throw himself upon the mercy of
the court. He says he had no intention of
wrongdong.

Keenly alive to the fact that her
every moment was watched Mrs, Platt
planned to throw reporters off her
track. She drove to the Fifth Avenue
hotel, passed IN at one door and out of
another and hurried to the Waldorf
Astoria, where she had luncheon.
There the senator's wife planned her
ments, using the telephone literally.
She first tried to get into communica-
ton with the senator at the United
States express office.
Gets Up Early.
Altho the senator hurried out Of his
hotel at an unusually early hour and
repaired directly to his office under
guard OF his son and valet, Mrs. Platt
received word that the senator was not
in the express building.
In ever-increasing chagrin. the de-
termined woman sent communication
to the Hotel Gotham, saying that she
was coming there during the afternoon.

Every ,precaution had been taken to
protect the aged and intirm senator
from his wife. At no moment during

Platt and the reporters the report was
circulated that the senator had left for
Washington. Nevertheless, he passed
the night in Hotel Gotham, albeit Sc
esreted in an apartment far. removed
from the one he habitually occupies.
Even had Mrs. Plat attempted heroics
she would have found the senator's
regular apartment unoccupied.
It is believed that Mrs. Platt now
realizes that the senator has unaiter-
ably set his face against her, and will
not be permitted by his sons, even tho
he relent, to speak with her. It is now
war to the bitter end and friends of
Senator and Mrs. Platt generally ex
