BUILDINGS FOR OUR DIPLOMATS.
The Hill Incident May Cause Congress 10
Provide for Purchasing Them.

WASHINGTON, April Ia lesson taught
by the recent unpleasantness over the
selection Of DR., David Jayne Hill as Am
bassador to Germany received consider
alton to-day from the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, Among the reasons as
signed for the KaiBer's alleged unwilling
ness 10 receive DR.. Hill at his court was the
fact that his private fortune would prevent
him from occupying an imposing embassy
building and entertaining on the lavish
scale in keeping with che importance and
dignity Of his position in the German cap
ital, Ambassador Tower set a pace In .
social way at Berlin that made the natives
sit up and take notice. IL was alleged
that the American gossips in Berlin pointed
out to the Kaiser that DR.. Hill would be
forced by necessity TO live in a compare
lively modest way.
Whether the committee will report a bill
carrying a large appropriation to provide
proper quarters for Ambassadors and Minis
ters or whether the legislation will be
attempted piecemeal 10 the question to be
decided.
A few years ago Representative Nicholas
longworth, son-in-law Of the President.
introduced a bill providing for the purchase
Of embassy and legation buildings in all
Of the European capitals. The sum Of
5000, 900 was made available for the pur-
pose. The Longworth bill was reported
iavorably TO the House, but it died on the
calendar.
IL was pointed out in the House com
mittee to-day tnat az the United States has
begin to pride itself on bel z q world Power
il should put up a front in consonance
wit such pretensions. II was high
time, some Of the members contNRded, that
this Government owned all Of ia embassy
and legation buildings, thus making Il
unnecessary for its diplomatic officers Of
high rank 10 he forced 20 the necessity Of
living in fats and otherwise playing second
fiddle to diplomats representing countries
Of less Importance in the family Of nations
than the United States.
BY accident, not design, the United States
own legation premises in China, Japan,
Turkey, Morocco and Siam. Great britain
and nearly every other first class Power
own embassy aud legation premises IN
every capital in which they are represented.
In Washington. for example, the diplomatic
representatives Of Italy. Austria, Great
Britain. Turkey, Mexico. Corea, France,
Japan and China occupy buildings owned
by their respective governments. The
value Of the properties range from $4,000
to 100000.

HARRIMtN'S CLiIM CrT DOUN y,
Commissioner says $3.50 900 Would He
Adequate for Repairing Break In Dam.

WASHINGTON, April IL. H. Hartman OF
New York and the Southern Pacific Railroad,
which he controls, are still after Congress in
an effort to get an appropriation to REIN
burse the railroad for lts work in repairing
the break in the Colorado River which re-
suited in submerging the Imperial Valley
of California in 1905, causing great damage
to property and distress among Thousands
of settlers. Maxwell Evarts Of New York
a~pteared to-day before the House Com
mittee on Claims to urge a favorable report
on the bill appropriating Sl,o0O,OO0 to re-
imburse the Southern Pacific for work per-
formed by 1t, Of which it was one ofthe bene-
f~ciaries,
The tracks Of the Southern Pacific run
along the Imperial Valley, which embraces
Thousands Of acres Of land as rich az the
delta Of the Nile. In 1900 a break in the
Colorado River, a torrential stream that is
likely 10 run loose at any time, submerged
the tracks Of the Southern Pacific az well
as the property Of thousands Of settlers.
The railroad, having the facilities at hand,
promptly repaired the break. President
Roosevelt commended the action OF the
road and rave assurance that he would
recommend to Congress that II be reim-
bursed.
The Southern Pacific has presented a bill
for 81. 900, 900. representing the expense to
which il alleges Il was put TO doing a work
that properly should have been undertaken
Inv the Government. Some weeks ago
President Roosevelt appointed a COM
mission charged with the duty Of deter
mining the amount that should be paid. It
has reported that 20 per cent, OF the face
value Of the claim Of the Southern Pacific
would be adequate reimbursement. The
House committee is understood to take this
view of the case.

BOMB THROWER NEAR DEATH.
sllyersteIn Making His Last Fight In the
Darkness Alone.

The doctors at Bellevue Hospital said
last night that Selig Silverstein, the Jewish
youth who attempted to throwa bomb into
a platoon Of police at Union Square last
Saturday and who was badly mangled by
it's premature explosion, would probably
die before morning. DR.. Sherwood, who
has assumed personal charge Of the case,
said that despite the remarkable vitality
shown by the patient his end was now very
near,
As Silverstein lay in pain on the night
after the explosion and all Of the next day
detectives, assistants from the District
Attorneys Office and representatives Of
the Coroner's Office stood in turn at his
bedside and piled him with questions.
To all questions he answered petulantly
that he hurled the bomb, that he made
il himself and that he was glad that he
had done the deed.
While all Of the detective force Of Police
Headquarters WORKED 10 discover a possible
plot in which the youth was involved, and
the attempt he had made at assassination
stirred Washington even, the patient al
Bellevue fought death with seeming sue
cess, so that the police began to talk OF
the possibility of his having to face a murder
charge for the killing Of lgnatz Hildebrandt,
the German who fell at the explosion Of
the bomb.
On Sunday his two sisters. Selia and
Sarah Silverstein. were led before him
Silyerstein felt Of their hands and talked
to them. When Selia Silverstein was
leaving the hospital she said, Il wish that
h. may die.
Since then no one has been to see Silver
stein except BerRman, the anarchist. whom
the police brought TO the bedside in the
hope that Silverstein would recognize the
anarchists voice and thus implicate him
in u plot. This hope failed.
For tho last twenty-four hours the jew
ish boy has been fighting in the darkness
alone, Sometimes he has been incoherent
and has raved in delirium. Even by the
time he Is dead the noise Of his deed Of
last Saturday will have died down TO nothing
and the papers Of the Fast Side will have
ceased TO call his work heroic,
One man temporarily affected by the
sudden jump from anonymity Of Sellg
Silverstein is Samuel Goldstein OF 239 FL
bridge street. Goldstein thought that Selig
was one Of the best cutters Of women's
cloaks that he had ever hired. But there
are plenty Of men to take Selig's place
In fact, one las already done so.
Police Commissioner Bingham's request
for $4,000 to establish a secret service
branch Of the Detective Department was
received at yesterdays meeting Of the Board
Of Aldermen. The Commissioner said that
he wanted the money to employ men Ia
watch anarchists and socialists and to
prevent such happenings rs that which
occurred last Saturday in Union Square.
The application was referred to the Finance
Committee.

FOUND BY POLICE IN RAID on
4 SHOEMAKERS ROOMS,

AThrifty Shoemaker Was Lopez, fer He Had

He offered 81 900 10 Save Lawyers
Fees-A Fruitful Black Hand Hunt.
A squad Of half dozen OF Lieut. Petro-
sino's Italian detectives descended last
night on the rooms occupied by Fellce
Lopez, a shoemaker, at 800 Fast Forty
second street, acting on information that
a search Of the s~hoemaker's rooms might
help explain the throwing Of a bomb from
a train on the Second avenue elevated on
January s, 1907. The bomb destroyed Sal
vatore Cimolina's fruit stand at the north
west corner Of Forty-second street and
Second avenue. Cimolina was badly hurt
and Mrs, Mary Bailey Of SOL East Forty
second street, who vas buying fruit at
the time, got q broken arm
When the detectives got TO Lopez's rooms
they found him and his brother, Salvatore;
their sister, and two other Italians, Stephano
Aiello Of SS5 East Twentieth street and
Luigi Locasa, a baker Of Thirty-ninth street
and First avenue. The detectives had been
told that they would likely fnd explosives
in the room, 90 they promptly searched 1t,
In a bureau drawer they found four
sticks Of dynamite. When they showed
the sticks to Felice Lopez he shrugged his
shoulders and appeared to be greatly sur
prised, He said he guessed some OF his
enemies put it there 10 make trouble for
him.
The detectives also found about $1,000
in bills and a stack OF bank books, The
bank books showed that Lopez had 5000
deposited with the Lincoln Trust Company
and 1000 with the Bank Of Rome.
Before the detectives left with their
prisoners a small boy entered the room,
who, they learned later, was a nephew Of
the Lopez brothers. They say they heard
Felioe Lopez whisper to him:
Tell them you found it,
Acting on that suggestion the detectives
didn't question the boy. They took all
but the woman and the cash 10 Police
Headquarters. The detectives said that on
the way Felice Lopez offered them Sl,OcO
TO be let 60, saying that il would cost that
much'to be liberated through the efforts OF
a lawyer.
Jesse Henry, a lawyer Of 100 Centre

TO induce Magistrate Moss TO accept $4,000

an EnLCATION, SAYS ELIOT,
To Brooklyn High School Boys Then ca
Out To Henent the World.

President Eliot OF Harvard yesterday
addressed the students Of the Boys High
School, Brooklyn, on the privilege and
opportunity OF education. He said that
this country is disposed to resent anything
that partakes Of class privilege, but that
the boys Of the school were highly priyi-
legged in many respects, He urged them
to get as much education as possible and
then to 20 out into the world bent on achiey-
ing things that would be worth while and
better conditions.
This much was due to the taxpayers Of the
city and to relatives and friends who had
made it possible for them TO continue their
education while so many OF their earlier
associates he'd been forced to go into the
business world with only a grammar school
education.
Above all, be devoted to your country
he said. That Is the highest form OF
citizenship
On the platform with the speaker we're
Mrs. Eliot, City Superintendent Maxwell.

Coudert and C.. j. Sullivan, chairman OF

observance Of Easter incomplete without the afterchurch parade
on Fifth avenue.
To-day the Easter Parade is transferred TO the great board
walks Of Atlantic City, Asbury Park, and Cape May. My lady

Atlantic City, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and one
on Sunday morning. There is also an early afternoon train, leaving
New York at LIS P. M. on Fridays and Saturdays until April II,
weekdays until April is, and Saturdays only until the close Of
the summer season.
To Cape May there is excellent train service for the Easter
season. Beginning April II, train leaving New York at l.S5
P. M. weekdays, connects at North Philadelphia with train from
Philadelphia via the Delaware River Bridge, arriving Cape May
at 6O2 ?. N. There is also connection on Saturday night via the

They May Yet Prove, They say, That q
Policeman Threw II.
II was announced yesterday by the eI-
ecntive committee Of the New York section
OF the Socialist party that repcrts from
a committee appointed to inquire into the
alleged brutality Of the police when they
stopped the unemployed demonstration
at Onion Square on Saturday will make at
least a partial report in time for use Ivy the
speakers at the mass meeting in Grand
Central Palace on Saturday afternoon.
Robert Hunter, who is TO he the principal
speaker, will describe how he was hustled
along by the police.
L. Solomon, secretary Of the New York
section OF the Socialist party. said that
the party had detectives OF its own out and
would make a very searching investigation.
Asked IL these sleuths we're professional
detect yes, he said:
"Oh, no. We could not trust them. They
would side with the capitalists and the police.
They are our own members, We hold
that there IN no actual proof that Silvsfslein
had the bomb and our theory Ia that either
he or a policeman threw il. One OF our
members just before the bomb was fired
was looking at the police and after II was
fired he rushed into our headquarters and
said he saw a policeman raise his hand as
il to throw something before the explosion.
Another Of our members said something
Of the same kind and others told conflicting
stories, but we will try and fix the blame
on the proper party
The Socialist sleuths, he said. would no
doubt follow different lines from those
followed by the police. He continued.
Its a pity Our new daily party organ
10 be printed in English. The Call. which is
20 come out in June, was not in circulation
at the time. We would have given a report
Of the incident that would have surprised
the police and the people generally. The
speakers ut the mass meeting on Saturday
will tell how the police acted, Mr., Hunter
being an eyewitness
His attention was called TO Sllverstein's
admission that be had the bomb and threw
IL, but he said that proved nothing.
