HOW THE GIRLS NARRATED IT
ENCOUNTER WITH THE PRESI-
DENT THANKSGIVING DAY.
Version Given by Mrs. Potter Of
Chicago Of the Rebuke Given to
Party in Rock Creek Park.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, December 1S.-Some light on
the incident near the Forest Glen Semi
nary. in which President Roosevelt is al
legged to have taken umbrage at a group
Of girls for riding their horses past him,
was obtained in Chicago today.
Mrs. Clifford B. Potter. 4755 Lake ave-
nue.. whose daughter Minnie Is in at
was visiting Washington at the time the
incident occurred. Today she told her
Impressions of the talk at the dinner ia
BILE of the seminary Thanksgiving day
following the encounter with the Presi-
dent In the morning.
My daughter was In the riding party
which went out in the morning with Miss
Sisson. one Of the riding instructors"
she said. But at dinner the girls seemed
greatly wrought up over the incident.
which they told of as having happened in
the road near the school
THE girl who seemed most resentful
against Mr.. Roosevelt was Henrietta
residence I do not recall. She talked
rather wildly. 1 did not pay much at
tention to her Eighty remarks because 1t
came out that she was democrat and
bore a political grudge against the Presi-
dent. I remember that we laughed at her
for being SO heated over the affair. and
some Of the girls .jollied' her for her party
feeling.
"As heard the incident related there
was no mention of the President having
struck one of the horses of the girls
party with his riding whip.
There were four or five of the girls in
the party. They came up behind the
Presidents cortege in the road near the
seminary. AS I recall the road. 1t was
roomy enough for them to pass, and 1

they spurred ahead and crowded by the
riders who were in front of them.
They said the President did not take
kindly to their escapade. They said he
spoke to them, making some such re-
mark as You ought to know better
than to ride by US or to ride by the
President I do not recall the exact
wording"

HOLLAND AWAITING EVENTS
NOT BELIEVED VENEZUELA HAS
DECLARED WAR.
Would Make Little Difference Any
how, as Venezuela Cannot
Take the Offensive.

BERLIN, December 1S-Both the Ger
man foreign Office and President Castro
discredit the report that Venezuela has
declared war against the Netherlands.
The foreign Office takes the ground that
even if hostilities have been declared the
declaration cannot become effective be-
cause Venezuela is in no position to car
ry campaign beyond it's own borders,
and Holland will not exceed the limits
Of its retaliatory course as already fixed
and known to the United States.
The feeling is also growing here that
president Castro left South America not
because of illness. but to escape the po-
lit1cal turmoil. and that he has no inten-
ton of ever returning.
The German government has informa-
etlon stating that 1t is uncertain whether
Vice President Gomez will become presi-
dent OF the republic or whether q pro-
vislonal government will be organized
under another head. Gomez is believed
to be still true to Castro.
President Castro still persists in giving
out denials that any trouble occurred in
Caracas, December IA, when an Infatuated
mop made demonstration against the
absent president and his followers.
,. CasIro Is to be transferred to Prof
Israefs private sanitarium Sunday for g.
week OF observation to determine whether
an operation IS necessary Sonora Cas-
tro and part OF her husbands suite will
also enter the hospital with the presi-
dent. The entire first floor has been en-
gagged for them.
THE HAGUE. December 1S-The for
elgn ONCE here places no credence in the
report that Venezuela has declared war
against the Netherlands.
This rumor was current yesterday in
both America and Europe. and apparent
ly originated In Bogota, Colombia It is
believed that the only basis for the re-
port Is the recent declaration by Vice
President Gomez Of Venezuela that this
country was in a ''state of defense be-
cause Of Hollands seizure of the coast
guard ship Alexis.
Even II the war rumor should turn out
to be true the government considers that
the Dutch squadron now in South Amer

PITTsBURG PARENTS SEEK SON
Write Here for Young Man, Who
Loft Home Four Months Aeo.

Mai. Sylvester has received a commune
cation from Daniel Dougherty. 154 18th
street. Pittsburg. asking him to institute
a search for his son, Edward Dougherty.
twenty two years of age. who disappeared
from his home about four months ago

New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore.
Mr.. Dougherty says that his wife. who
is lying at the point Of death. is repeated
ly calling for her son. The boy is about
five feet three inches in height. has black
curly hair and weighs about 40 pounds
At one time. according to the father. the
young man was employed on one OF the
training ships of the navy. After being
released he was shanghaied from a sa-
loon in Baltimore and after being taken
aboard an oyster boat was kept q prisoner
for some months. Becoming Ill later he
was landed and went to Baltimore hos

in the old town hall of Flushing as &C
cessory with his brother in the murder
of William E. Annis.
Charles Roberts. an eyewitness to the
shooting at the Bayside Yacht Club, and
the widow. Mrs. Emily Annis. are among
the chief witnesses yet to be heard. The
testimony Of Mrs. Annis yesterday was
merely to- establish the death Of her hus-
band at the Flushing Hospital.
A question of considerable interest to-
day was whether District Attorney OAR
rim would be able to get In the evidence
was who drove Thornton Hams and his
brother to the Bayside Yacht Club on the
afternoon Of the shooting.
Mr.. White has told the jury that the
inquired for Annis on the way to the
clubhouse, that the hack passed a stage
In which Mrs. Annis was sitting, where
upon Thornton Hams made the re-
mark. I'VE have got him now" and that
a package Of cartridges was found in the
hack by Skura when he returned to the
railroad station after driving to the club
house.
Skura testified briefly yesterday. All
his testimony was stricken from the rec
Thornton Hams.
If Mr.. Darrin has other witnesses who
can establish that Thornton Hams and the
captain were the men who rode in the

Value Of Testimony.
1t would nullify the effect of the strong
gains made by the defense yesterday in
the cross examination Of the witness
Birchfield by Mr. Mcintyre. Birchf1eld
said that after some one had called at
tention to Annis in his boat Thornton
Hams turned to Capt. Hams, saying. Let
us go. Jesperson Is not here"
Jesperson is the real estate man whom
the defense contends Thornton Hams was
searching for. and that this was the sole
reason which took Thornton Hams to the
yacht club. If Skura's testimony goes In
it will prove that Annis and not real a.
tate was the reason Of the journey.
1t has all along been reported that
the weapon with which Annis was kill
ed was an automatic revolver. AS
matter of fact 1t is what Is known as
q magazine pistol.
The difference between the magazine
and the automatic revolver 1s that

was an interval between the shots. The
defense has contended that the revolt
yer was emptied in = seconds.
One entertaining little item of news
this morning was the fact that Thorn
ton Hams revolver, which he displayed
upon the yacht club float. was safely
locked up in District Attorney parrin's
safe and that the district attorney had
forgotten the combination.
The prosecution desired to place the
weapon in evidence. Accordingly
locksmith had been summoned to break
into the safe, it was said.

The joint resolution authorizing the

day In The Star. threw cold water on the
proposition Of using the building for In

The resolution adopted by the Distric,
committee also authorizes the Secretary

that the erection of stands shall be under

is authorized to loan hospital tents and
camp appliances, horses, drivers, stretch

Action Next Month.
In all probability the resolution will not
be called up in the House for action until
the second Monday in January, one week
after Congress convenes, which will be
District day. Then. it is anticipated, the
resolution will be passed.
There will be some opposition to the
resolution, but in view of the fact that
the pension bureau building is consid-
cred the best place by far for holding the
inaugural ball, in view of the lack of a
suitable auditorium building in the Ma
tional capital. 1t is not believed that the
opposition will be serious or prolonged.
