belief on Broadway today that Ray
mond Hitchcock. the missing comedian.

country or even gone many miles from
Broadway.
1t is limited in many quarters that Ger
tain evidence which Hitchcock desired
was not forthcoming at this time and
that he was advised to drop out Of sight
until il could be produced. Reports con-
time 10 come in from all parts Of the
country from persons who claim TO have
recognized the missing actor, but the
police are putting little credence in
them.
Mrs. Hitchcock. known on the stage
as Flora Zabelle, is continuing ia her
role in "A Yankee Tourist" In a state
ment today she declares her absolute
confidence in her missing husband and
ayers that his entire innocence OF the
charges against him VIII be proved alb
soiutely.

ATTORNEY PUGH
Assistant Corporation Coun-

city to Animals Cases.

James L, Pugh. jr., Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel. and attorney in charge OF
the Police Court work for the District
today makes a fiery ret0rt TO the
charges preferred against him BY the
Horse Owners Association. he char
acteTIzes the accusations as false,
malicious base. and without any color
OF truth"
Many wealthy contractors and other
men, who use a number of horses in
the conduct Of their business are
brought up here constantly charged
with horrible neglect OF the animals
under their protection. Some have been
brought here charged with allowing
their horses to work when the shoulders
of the poor beasts were torn and LAGER
ated and chafed by the stiff harness.
do you want those men to escape
punishment? Well, they won't II they
come here.
Not long ago. for instance. two sport
ing men were dragged into the Police
Court, as they termed il. on charges
OF letting two bulldogs fight until one
killed the other.
Those cases should not be prose
cuted. you'll say. That's sport. Well,
bring them into Police Court, and let
either Judge Muliowny or Judge KIM
ball hear the evidence"
IL was alleged by the horse owners
that IN the administration Of his office
Mr.. Pugh showed prejudice In cases
coming before him IN which the Humane
Society figured as compliments. This
Is made on the ground shat Mr.. Pugh
was the legal adviser OF the Humane
Society.

AP ARTHENT HOUSE MAIL
DELIVERED ON ORDER

Postmaster Barnes has made an i'm
portant rule 20 safeguard the mail Of
occupants Of apartment houses.
The practice OF delivering mail on sun
days TO janitors OF apartment houses on
their application at the Office. without
written authority has been disoon-
tlnued.
Tie office now requires managers Of
apartment houses to secure from ten
ants q written request for the delivery
Of their mail to him or his authorized
representative. The manager files these
requests az the POsIofhce, and. in turn
Is supplied WITH a mail pouch, TO which
he holds one key, and the Office holds
the other.
The jsnitor is thus given the mail
locked In "a pouch, instead OF the old
loose method.
The Office is also supplying apartment
houses with change OF address cards,
and. IN turn. the managers VIII require
al tenants leaving the premises 10 fill
out these cards, which viii be immedi-
ateIy dropped in the mail box. This
plan is TO overcome the vast amount OF
trouble heretofore experienced with
apartment house mall and to secure its
safety and prompt delivery.

Attorney Complains of
Changes Made at Pres

That the graves in the old Presby-
terrain Burying Ground, Thirty fourtn
and Q streets, Georgetown. are being
ruthlessly deseCrated by the conversion
OF the cemetery into a public play
ground, is the declaration made to the
Commissioners by Attorney William H.
Manogue. Mr.. Manogue says that terms
OF the contract providing for the re-
1loval of the dead and their proper In
terment in another cemetery is being
violated by blowing over the graves
and tossing such bones as may be
there into a wagon 10 be conveyed

Among these. he says. are the re-
mains of those who years agO decided
the land in question TO the Presbyterian
congregation for a burying ground, as
well as the bodies Of many CT the prom
inent residents Of Georgetown.
As a representative of the Beatue
heirs Mr. MaLOgue several months ago
