back and forth between Anacostia and

this time.

today imposed sentence Of imprisonment
for two years and six months on Matthew
P. Roche, former superintendent Of the
Metropolitan Loan Company, and ordered
that Arthur Welsh be sent to the Mounds
vile penitentary for six years. In the first
case it is alleged that Roche took several
hundred dollars and valuable securities from
his employer, Samuel ]. Masters, owner of
the loan company, in January, 1906 The
evidence showed that Roche emptied a
safe in the office January 10, 1906, taking
away all the money and securities. When
he failed to show up at the place of bust
ness the next day, the loss was discovered
and his arrest followed.
The case against Welsh disclosed the fact
that he entered the store of Harry Stien-
berg, and while in the act of carrying off
a large amount of clothing was discovered.

berg.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
PLANS FOR JUNE MEETING NEXT
MONDAY EVENING.

The home builders Of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce are said to be zeal
ously working for the erection Of q struc-
ture in this city, and the plans already ad-
vanced are said to be meeting with full
measure Of success. Mr.. William F. GUIDE,
secretary Of the body, has sent to the men,
bership circular letter, countersigned by
President Robert N. Harper, which says:
THE building committee Of the Wash
ington Chamber Of Commerce has unani-
mously adopted q resolution recommending
that immediate steps be taken by the
chamber to build its own home, and will
make such recommendation to the Cham
Der Of Commerce at its next meeting.
In order that this subject may be
brought clearly, and in detail. to the at
tention Of each member of the chamber, 1t
has been decided to hold the June meeting
at the Arlington Hotel at o'clock Mon
day evening, June "a. and 1t is earnestly
be present.
Creditable to City.
ut Is estimated that a building which
would be-creditable to our city and her
business men should cost, including the
ground, nearly 100000, and there appears
to be little. If any doubt. but that this
money can be raised, as 1t will be a BUSH
ness investment having a dividend guaran-
tee, and in no way contribution by any
one.
ITO build home for this business or
ganlzation should, and we believe will, ap-
peal to the pride of each Of our members
we, therefore, hope that you will show your
interest in this proposition and Endorsement
OF the same at least by your presence The
meeting will be called to order promptly at
o'clock. Buffet lunch will be served

morning from the bedside of Mr.. Mont
gomery Blair, prominent member of the
