To Await Grand Jury's Action.

After telling his employer that the store
had been burglarized, it is alleged, Charles
Grimes was found in possession Of prop
erty missing therefrom He was arrested
by Detectives Grant and Berman of head
quarters and was charged in the Police
Court today with obtaining money by false
pretenses. After hearing the testimony
Judge Mullowny held Grimes for the action
of the grand jury and ordered him to be
committed to Jail in default of $500 bond.
Grimes. 1t is stated, was employed by
George 8. Hewett, 3O5 Pennsylvania avenue.
Grimes on January 20 reported to Mr..
Hewett that the store had been broken
into and ransacked. In looking for missing
articles Mr.. Hewett found that a check for
SIS was gone A few days afterward the
check was presented. 1t is alleged, by
Grimes to L. p. Stewart, 141 18th street
northeast, and Grimes asked for the money
on it. Grimes, 1t is alleged, Endorsed the
check with the name of the man to whom
the check was made out. Mr.. Stewart
learned that the payment was stopped on
the check, and he telephoned to Mr..
Hewett's store that he would be down to
see about 1t. Crimes received the message.
and he left the store soon afterward and
failed to return. He was arrested yester-
day by Detectives Grant and Berman.

FULTON CENTENNIAL
HOPE EXPRESSED THAT CON.
GRESs WILL TAKE ACTION.
Honor to Be Paid to the Memory Of
the Illustrious American Inven-
tor at Bordeaux, France.

There Is every indication, in the opinion
OF the State Department, that Congress
VIII answer the appeal made by the de-
partment to the President. and by him to
the Senate and the House, by appropriating
$2o,Uo for this governments representation
at the International maritime exposition at
Bordeaux next summer. The display will
be opened May 1, and officials Of the gov
eminent who are interested believe that
early action will be taken. The exposition,
which is to be one OF the greatest In Eu-
rope this year, is the centennial of the In
vention of steam navigation by Robert Full
ton and his name will be given great honor
The family of Fulton will furnish some of
the great inventors models and other relics
of his achievements. For a time Ii seemed
impossible that the United States could
participate.
Extent of Participation.
The State Department thought that this
government would be too busy entertain
ing the world at the jamestown exposition.
The government in Paris, however. showed
deep interest in having this country rep
resented and finally the matter was
taken up.
Among other things 1t has been decided
that at least one American. warship will be-
sent to Bordeaux during the exposition. 1t
Is likely that two vessels of the Tacoma
class win be assigned to the duty.
Many of the great nations. including Rus
STA, Great Britain, Japan, Italy. Belgium.
Mexico. and of course the United States
and France, will participate by sending ex-
hibtS and, in some cases, nlen-of-war. This
government has in mind the construction OF
a pavilion 1t will be very simple and will
not cost more than eight or ten thousand
dollars. which the exposition management
regards as sufficient for the purpose. AS
soon as Congress has made the desired ap-
preparation a commission will probably be
appointed to gather from museums and
other places relics and exhibits worth
sending to the exposition.
Promoted by French League.
The exposition is being promoted by the
French Maritime League under the patron
age of the ministers of marine and COM
merce of the French government. 1t will
be opened in May and close the last day of
October. In q letter to Mr. Root at the
State Department recently Mr.. Jusserand,
the French ambassador said
"As regards the exposition itself, which is
Of October of this year, your excellency
knows the value my government would
have attached to the participation of the
United States. The object, indeed,
is to commemorate the centennial of steam
navigation, and consequently to do special
honor to the genius of an illustrious Ameri-
can. Fulton, who operated the first prac-
teal steamboat on the Hudson in 1907.
France will exert all the more zeal in do
ing homage to the great inventor, as 1t was
in our country that he conducted his first
experiments, fruitless, to be sure, but sig
nificant enough to cause Napoleon to write
to his minister, NJ de Champaign: 'Citi-
zen Fulton's proposition may change the
face of the world. ."
