WANDERER RETURNS.
Lad Fifteen Years Old Makes Trip to
New York and Back.

After a trip covering the better part of a
month, most Of which time he spent in
New York, Francis Dronenburg, fifteen
years old, whose home is on Dumbarton
avenue, Georgetown, returned to Washing
ton this morning. The last stage Of the
journey, from Baltimore to Washington,
was accomplished mainly through the kind
ness of a railroad conductor to whom the
youthful tourist told of having lost his
ticket. At the local depot of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad Dronenburg was given
into the custody of Detective Sears and
taken to police headquarters, whence he
was later transferred to the house of de-
tention, to be held until his parents can be
notified.
According to the story told by the boy at
headquarters this morning, he and his
brother, who is one year his senior, started
for New York about Christmas time. He
admitted they spent a portion of the time
as guests of the municipality in a school
for boys in New York. No one was looking
when the Dronenburgs left that institution,
and they sought to make the return jour-
ney to Washington on a freight train. The
crew found them in a box car, but per-
mitted them to sleep in the caboose until
Baltimore was reached.
Francis Dronenburg said he thought his
brother must be at home, because they DE
came separated after the last $1.25 in the
treasury had been expended for one ticket
to Washington-and Francis brother had
the ticket.

adjoining counties who came in anticipa-
ton OF action by the grand jury in the
case Of Philip J. Strother and his brother
James. who were summoned to appear and
answer for the killing Of VIII F. By
waters, their brother-in-law. If there was
any feeling among those who formed the
groups about the court house and on the
main thoroughfore. it was not in evidence.
The people talked quietly over the details
Of the tragedy and the probable outcome,
but there was a noticeable absence OF
anything akin to excitement. The deepest
interest was manifested in the matter.
but 1t was beneath the surface, and was
only visible In the earnest undertones of
those that congregated about the law
edidce.
Judge Aiken of Danville. it is UNDER
stood. will preside at the trial. Upon the
arrival of the defendants, the Strother
brothers, accompanied by their counsel,
the conversation of the various groups be-
came more animated, and many Of the
court house, eager to learn something as to
the prospective action of the machinery
There was marked disappointment when
Judge Aiken announced that the Bywaters
case could not be presented to the grand
jury until Thursday forenoon. at which
time the jurors have been instructed to ap-
pear at Culpeper and decide whether an
Indictment shall be found against the
Strothers.
The statement was made today that
the defendants will be represented by q
powerful array Of legal talent. including
E. Walton Moore of Fairfax. John L. JET.
Lynchburg. Their friends assert that the
defense will put up one of the strongest
legal battles ever witnessed in the state Of
Virginia.

fault? - II is the mother, who, half-ccn-
sciously and haif-unconsciously, instills in
her girls that 1t is fatal to a marry poor
man and appear a failure in the eyes Of her
friends? IL It an unworthy spirit, fostered
in boarding schools. that success lies solely
in marrying a well-to-do man? Is this
why so many capable. misguided girls wait,

who never comes. only to be more or less

tivation continues undiminished. On the

must be registered, with the amount con-
sumed, and only registered persons can buy
opium. No one can hereafter begin the use
Of the drug. Persons using opium must, IL
under sixty, diminish their use of IL 20 per
cent per annum. Punishments are pre-
scribed for persons who persist in the use
Of opium after the end of the ten-year limit.

for what she wants. She may say: May

suesses, perhaps until she asks, May l
have salt? mo" 0his contains the letter
