SAY MISS TYLER
WAS NOT WAYLAID
Police Believe Relative of
Former President Faint
ed on Street.
She Cannot Account for the
Loss of Her Pocket
book.

Miss Lydia Tyler, relative Of foumer
President Tyler, who said she was at
tackled Saturday night by a foodpad
just before going into her home. Is con-
fined TO her apartments today. but Is
much better than she was several days
ago. The police OF the central office
are or the opinion that Miss Tyler was
not assaulted, but that she had an at
tack of apoplexy.
An investigation at the house brought
to light the fact that Miss Tyler was
OF a highly nervous temperament and
subject to apOpleXy ana loss Of MEM
ory. The police say that II is evident
that Miss Tyler must have lost her
pocketboolS in some other manner than
the way in which she stated.
Doubt Attack Story.
Detective Weedon and other Central
Office detectives. as well as the police
OF the Second Precinct. who have made
Investigations under orders OF Major
Sylvester, give no credenCe 10 the story
of an attack on Miss Tyler. They say
for one thing, that II would be utterly
impossible for anyone to make an as
sault at such a prominent place.
IF Miss Tyler had been attacked Sat
urday night by a man who shadowed
her from the Louise Home. where she
had been visiting. to her home on l.
street" said Lieutenant Peck, "he surely
would not have waited until the wom-
an was at her front door before making
an attack The probable place that ne
would have attacked her would have
been on Massachusetts avenue. a less
frequented place than L street, and con-
siderably darker.
She May Have Painted.
Miss Tyler thinks. after having talk
ed to the police. that she may have had
a fainting spell. because she says, If
the highwayman struck me he did not
use much force The blow that 1
thought I received does not trouble me
at all this morning, and I feel much
better and less nervous than 1 did yes
teTday.
1t may have been true that when
/ fell. as the police say 1 did. that
my head struck the baIustrade Of the
porch, inhicting a small wound But /
can't account for my pocketbook being
missing l know / had it when 1 left

had fallen down in front of my house. %

A. c. BATES & SON CO.
Have taken the State Agency Of this
Famous Pure Lead.
THE BEST PAINT.

MATHESoN WHITE LEAD is
strictly pure aud is chemically the same
| as all other pure white leads, but is su-
perior to any dutch Process" lead,
IN COVERING CAPACITY, DURA-
BILITY, FlNENESS AND WHITE
NESS. This is why we say 1T Beats
the Dutch"
In COVERING CAPACITY the
Matheson White Lead exceeds all 9th
ers by more than % per cent. In other
words, 70 lbs. OF this lead will cover
more surface than 100 lbs of any other
make, cover it better and with less la
Dor. This is an important considera-
tlon TO all buyers of lead, and especial
ly to the Painter.
ECONOMY of using the Matheson
White Lead is not due solely TO its
greater covering capacity. In this re-
spect alone it represents a saving OF at
least - per cent, as compared with
other pure leads, and proportionately
greater saving AS compared with the
various combination leads But the
ease with which it flows and rubs out
under the brush effects considerable
additional saving in the cost of paint
ing, and increases its value over all
other competing pigments.
The DURABILITY of the Matheson
White Lead has been proven, by tests
extending over more than ten years, to
be greater than that Of any other make
of lead. Its fneness of texture per-
mits of its forming a more complete
union with the oil, and thus becoming
more tightly bound to the surface to
be covered than is possible with other
leads or zine. 1t is, therefore, the most
perfect known covering for all surfaces.
The FINEST FINISH obtainable
from any paint is secured by the use
of the Matheson White Lead. Its tex
ture is eveDer and finer, and its color
ing winter than that of any other pig
ment. 1t therefore requires no adulter-
alton with zine to yield smooth and
perfectly white surface, and it is equal
| Nv well adapted for outside work or the
highest class of interior decoration.
THINNING PAINT FOR USE.
MATHESON WHITE LEAD re-
quires from 6 to 81 gallons of raw lin
seed oil to the 100 lbs, according to
the surface to be covered, to make it
ready for the brush. Other makes will
take only from 4 to 3 gallons. The
effective covering power Of pigment
is in proportion to the amount of oil it
will take up. The finer the pigment
the more oil it will take, and this is
why 100 lbs. of MATHESON LEAD
will make from . to9If gallons of paint,
while other leads will not make more
than II to s gallons. Every gallon Of
paint made with MATHESON LEAD
will be equal in covering capacity to a
gallon Of paint made with any other
lead, so that by using MATHESON
LEAD the painter has from ] TO 2 gal
Ions more of paint for every 100 lbs.
of lead than he could get from any
other make.

TINE COST or PAINT.

MATHESON WHITE LEAD with
pure linseed oil as IA thinner, will give
perfectly pure paint at a less cost per
gallon than any Of the ready mixed
paints. To prove this take the cost OF
100 lbs. of lead and q gallons of pure
lnseed oil, ut the market price, and
divide the total sum by 8, the number
Of gallons of paint obtained from their
combination. Compare this with the
cost of even the cheap" grades OF
mixed paint, and the result will show
the saving in the first cost Of pure
paint. But this is by no means all Of
the economy. for the pure paint will
cover more surface, gallon for gallon;
cover it better; make more satisfac-
tory looking job. and last longer.
A gallon Of paint made of MATTE.
son LEAD and pure linseed oil will
cover about 400 square feet OF any or.
binary surface, two coats; . gallons OF
paint, which is the quantity made from
100 lbs. Of MATTIESON LEAD, would
therefore cover 400 SQUARE YARDS,
two coats. This is from one-quarter
TO one.third more work than can be
done with any other lead, and it will
be better work.

ROOSEVELT
AND D|Az ARE
IN ACCORD

Washington, Aug. 2s.--Acting Secretary
of State Adee said today that he is au-
thorized to announce that President
Roosevelt and President Diaz are now In
entire accord concerning the future OF
Central America and the settlement OF dis
putes between the five republics.
In the light OF dispatches from the city
OF Mexico and discussions between Secre-
tary Adee and Minister Godroy, charge
daffaires OF the Mexican embassy, this
announcement Is taken to mean that the
United States and Mexico have formulated
a joint note TO the Central American re-
publics inviting them to hold a conference
with "A View to agreeing upon treaty in
suring permanent peace.
Whether that note has been dispatched to
the republics or not is not known, but
the impression is that all OF the republics
have expressed a readiness TO enter such
a conference.
Mr.. Adee said today that he hoped 10 be
able to make a statement within "A hours
outlining the policy under consideration.

FOUR PLAY GROUNDS
CLOSED YESTERDA \

That thousands OF boys and girls In four
of the summer Fairgrounds of the city
have spent their time well In learning
games Of athletic skill and in other occu-
patlons was attested yesterday before the

make a tour of the four which closed yes
terday, viz: America, Courtland. Public
and Hospital streets, but only Mrs. Caesar
Misch and Miss OConnor. supervisor of
the Fairgrounds for the past two seasons,
were able to go. They were given an en-
thusiastic welcome by the children, who
went through their games. showing much
skill.
The boys this summer have been taught
carpentering and like things, including
chair gaming; and the girls have had USE
full needlework. so that many of them
have been able TO pick up considerable
vacation money.
At the America street playground, which
received honorable mention for its work
now on exhibition In the public library
building. a program of sports was carried
out In the yard. Including dumbbell
drill and races. There was also a basket
ball game between teams from the Meet
ing and America street Fairgrounds. and
at the close OF the afternoon the children
took leave of their directors for the sea-
son. Those In charge OF the children were:
Miss Maria Powers, director; Miss Mary
L. Mulligan, Mrs. Florence Tompktns.
William Ferry and Robert Whitmarsh. as
sstants.
The committee then went to the Court

and high jumping contests and a human
race For the girls there were ring plays
of various kinds, motion and marching
songs and basketball, although no pre-
arranged contest took place. The In
structors are: Director. Daniel F. Reagan;
assistants. Miss Margaret Morgan and
Miss Helen McCaffrey.
The various implements with which the
