MAGNIFICENT ALBUM PAWNED.
Jewel Bedecked Gift Presented to
Bishop Barlin Is in Soak.

a scandal has arisen over some one
putting in "hock" the magnificent
and jewel-bedecked album presented
to Bishop Barlin on the occasion of
his conservation as bishop Of Nueva
Caceres, according to mail advices
from the Philippines.
Mgr. Barlin was the first Filipino
to be raised to the purple under
American ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
On the occasion Of his conservation
2 large number of people were asked
to contribute toward the cost Of an
album in which should be inscribed
the signatures Of all those who desir-
ed to congratulate him on his eleva-
ton.
The album was gotten up at great
cost and its covers were studded with
precious stones. 1t was presented to
Mgr Barlln. but the book was taken
back to Manila under the pretense
that there were others who desired to
sign their names thereto. It Is said
tina the book was left in the care Of
a prominent Filipino official
Several Spanish and native papers
now are demanding that public ac-
counting be made Of the money COL
leeted and the amount expended for
the album and its real whereabouts
It Is charged that the silversmith who
prepared the covers Of the book and
inlaid them with precious stones has
not yet been paid for his material
and work

CLEANING UP
THE CAPITAL
PHYSICAL AND MORAL
CRUSADE WAGED.
Unclean Luch Rooms and Hotels Must
Observe Common Sense Rules Of
Cleanliness Restricted District
win BE ousted From Business Part
OF City-Presldent Roosevelt Swings
Big Stick.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The national
capital is being cleaned up-both
physically and morally.
For the past three weeks the health
authorities have been conducting O
successful crusade against unclean
lunch rooms and hotels They have
invaded the kitchens OF nearly every
public eating place in the District OF
Columbia. Filthy conditions almost
unbelievable were found IN many OF
the so-called first-class restaurants
A number of proprietors have been
arrested and fined, and others have
been forced to quit business. All
have been ordered to put their kltch-
ems in proper condition If they wish
TO continue serving the public. Clubs
and even boarding houses have not
been exempt from the operations OF
the official microbe chasers.
But the District house cleaning has
not been confined to food purveyors.
An anti-vice crusade is now on, said
to have been ordered by President
Roosevelt from Oyster Bay. Imme-
diately adjoining the new municipal
building. which was dedicated on the
Fourth of July, and almost within n
stones throw Of the White House is
Washington's red light district. which
since the days Of the civil war has re-
mained practically undisturbed. It
has been the scene of nightly orgies
that hitherto have seemed beyond the
ability-or inclination-of the police
10 control.
As a preliminary step in the cam
paign against the denizens of the
division" as 1t is called. Major Syl-
vester superintendent OF police, has
ordered the streets in that section of
the city cleared Of loafers. Unless a
pedestrian can give a legitimate rea-
son for his presence in the locality
after nightfall he is ordered to move
on, or TO go to the nearest police sta
tion. Hints have been given to the
proprietors Of illegal resorts that they
will be allowed a reasonable time to
move to another part Of the city or
get out Of town altogether.
The district government has for
years believed in the policy Of segre-
cation OF vice, and in line with this
it is probable that a new red light
section will be created in a part Of
the city further removed from the
business and residence district.
Colncident with the cleaning out of
"the division" a crusade against
allen women living in vice has been
started by the immigration bureau,
also under orders from oyster Bay.
Several arrests have already been
made OF women, who, the authorities
say came TO this country for i'm
moral purposes. These, and others
as they may be discovered, will be de-
ported.

PANIC IS OVER
SAYS RUSSELL
President of Mobile & Ohio
Says Lumber Business
is Now Better.

Colonel E. L. Russell has returned
from an extensive trip and he brings
encouraging reports of splendid crops
and a resumption of business, says a
special from Mobile.
Colonel Russell was askd what he
thought of the business situation in
general and in reply he said:
Il have been frequently disappOint
ed since the panic set in about the
revival of business At times we
would have spurts, which led me to be
lieve that we had struck the bottom.
but in a few days the business would
fall off again, so that the revival of
business through the months of April,
May and June was spasmOdic. It
turned out that there wasn't any sub
stantial strength behind the move
ment, hut since the first of July our
business has steadily improved from
day to day, until now | believe that
this movement rests upon something
that will continue to grow 1t may
be that I will again be disappointed,
but all the signs point to an improve
ment and growth Of business through
out the country.

more on account of the loss of the

twenty-five per cent. of our entire bus

bly, / have learned from my expert
ence in connection with the Mobile

occurs to business. lumber is the first
thing to feel it, and the last to recover
from it. However, I want to say 10
you that We have had more demand
for lumber cars in the past ten or If
teen days than we have had for the
past four or FIVE months. | hope this
means that the lumber trade has re-
vived. However. I think it will be a
good waliBe before We approximate
anything like the lumber business we
had last year.

HAD PLANNED
To BURN HOUSE
Cottage on West Wright
Street Was Saturated
With Oil.

That some one mad planned to
burn the cottage occupied by Emma
Bowes, a creole, residing on West
Wright street, was discovered yes
terday morning, when she awoke to
find the outside of the cottage satu-
rated with oil, quantities of it hav-
ing been poured on the outside walls.
The matter was reported to the
police yesterday and Captain Wilde
went to the place, finding IL as rep
resented. 1t is supposed that some
party had poured oil on the outside
walls with the intention o. setting it
OF fire. but were probably frightened
away before they had an opportunity
of doing so.
