seem to indicate that the company was
not satisfied with the applications re-
ceived for the building. Several men
from the east were in town to day look
ing up the proposition. The Clark
company is pushing the work on the
building little more rapidly. The roof
timbers are in place and practically all
of the brick walls are up.

is now in Paris In the interest OF the extern
sion of George Washington University Dr.
Harlan is special representative to Europe
in the movement for greater university in
the Capital city of the United States. and
he Is devoting his efforts to arouse interest
and support for the plans Of the university
faculty and trustees.
In an interview with a representative Of

DR.. Harlan summarized the work ON which
he is engaged follows:

Navigation Company as a nucleus for it's
endowment-an exceedingly generous legacy
for those days.
1T is a standing reproach to American
patriotism that the plan that was 90 much
on Washington's mind and heart should
have remained thus In practical oblivion
for a hundred years.
On account OF modern conditions the
present movement differs from Washing
tons plan in two important particulars, at
fect1ng In no way the essentials Of that
plan 1t Is to be almost entirely univer-
sity for graduate work. and it Is to be
founded by private benefactors instead Of
being supported and controlled by the gov
eminent.
The movement of which have the honor
to be special representative has one great
practical advantage. The nucleus Is al
ready established. 1t has eighty-fve years
of history behind 1t. 1t already has thir-
teen hundred students and about two hun
dred teachers and owns 81 100000 worth of
real estate. 1t is the old Columbian Uni
versity Of Washington. D. c., with a new
charter, new name and new aim
Two main departments of the reorgan-
lied university will be It's departments for

ant of Little Girl,

with bandages, Rachael Waught, colored,
eight years of age, appeared IN the Police
Court today as the complainant against Ed

the wounds. After his arrest yesterday by

Belt was released on So collateral, and he
preferred to forfeit that amount to stand
ing trial. Prosecuting Attorney James M.
Proctor, however. regarded the amount as
too small, and he ordered attachment
for Belt.

Smith at I'd and o streets a week ago yes
terday. and a battle of bricks followed.
While the fight was in progress the little
girl appeared, and it Is stated, a brick

pathic Hospital by the police, and has been

tic1es to Be Used as Evidence.

When William E. Mann, arrested by
Sergt. Lee Of the.first precinct yesterday,
was searched at the station house an inter-
esting and odd collection of articles was
found on him, and many of them will be
used in the Police Court as evidence when
Mann Is brought to trial on a charge of
vagrancy
One of the first articles found was a good
sized bottle OF morphine powder, from
which about half had been used Sergt
Lee maintains that Mann was under it's in
fluence when arrested. About dozen dice
were found and some of them the police
say, are "crooked,' one having two two
spots and another having similar charac-
teristics. Another article found was
spinning jimmy" with eight numbers on it.

NEWSBoYS ARE READY.
Several Hundred Supplied With Tick
cts for a Night of Fun.


Tonight is 'Newsboy night" at the New
National Theater. and II there is young
ster that sells papers on the Washington
streets who has not called for his ticket he
stands a poor chance behind the hundreds
that have been supplied AS announced in
The Evening Star last Saturday the boys
were to be furnished the free tickets yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock. but the rush
was too much for the ticket supply and
just about half of the crowd wen. away
disappointed. Each boy without a ticket
was told. however, to return to the theater
this morning at the same hour when
another bunch of coupons would be on
hand. This became the watchword in every
street and alley where newsboys are wont
to linger during the ''off hours" and by
the appointed time the crowd at the front
of the gallery steps required the combined
efforts of three officers to keep order.
The management of the playhouse has
applied to police headquarters for two extra
officers to look after the boys tonight and
see not only that they keep quiet but that
no bones are broken in the grand rush for
the front seats
A peculiar feature of the crowd yesterday
was the number Of boys representing The
Evening and Sunday Star. All of them
were on hand first and lost no time in iden-
tifying themselves over their rivals for
tickets. Several members of the executive
staff from the Newsboys Home will attend
the performance tonight, occupying private
boxes. 1t will be a great time for the small
boy.
