Grafton in these matters, said Presi-
dent Smith. 80 For the sake of the
maintenance of our dignity we should
consider with extreme care all meas
ures dealing with treaty rights. Here
tofore we have been always able to
secure the concurrence of Congress in
our suggestions; let us not so lose this
confidence by passing measure in di-
rect conflict with the government s
known views on the subject. 1t will
certainly not do us credit to pass any
thing at variance with the stipulations
of q foreign treaty.
Senator Mccarthy asked President
Smith if he was prepared TO say spe-
officially that such measure as that
under consideration would be in con
fict with Federal treaty.
President Smith replied that he did
not know that the resolution would in,
clude the question at issue. and asked
that he be granted time in which to
present his view of the ease. Senator
Mccarthy then made motion to defer
consideration of the matter for one
week
Senator Moore, who had seconded
Coelho s motion to amend the resolu-
ton by the substitution of ''citizens

MARINE RAILWAY RESTORED.
Work to Begin Which Will Make It
Available for Big Graft.

Plans have been perfected for rebuilding
the big marine railway at the Alexandria
shipyard. The work will be started with
in the next week or ten days
A new cradle is to be constructed the
material for which is already on the
ground. The runway, on which the cradle
moves is to be put in thorough repair.
1t is the intention OF the owners to put
1t in such condition that with the excep-
ton of the big Norfolk steamers and the
steamer st. Johns, any freight or pas
senger boat on the river can haul out
there for repair work.
The cradle of the marine railway at
Alexandria is considerably over 200 feet
long and was built for hauling out the
big sailing vessels that come here with ice
and for coal and other cargoes to carry
away. Business fell off and the railway
was allowed to deterioate until only yes
sells the size of tugs and bay schooners
could haul there.
This rebuilding of the railway will be
great convenience to steamboat owners
here, who are now forced to send their
boats to Baltimore or Newport News to
have them hauled out for painting and
other work on bulls under water. The
new railway will be completed and ready
for use early in the coming spring.

FILTERED DIAMOND RECOVERED
DETECTIVES BRING BACK LOOT
FROM NEW YORK.
Bag of Pennies and Other Jewelry
in List-Fences Under Arrest
for Receiving Property.

Bringing with them recovered loot in
Guiding the $1,000 diamond ring stolen
from Pawnbroker Johnson. Detectives
Burlingame and weldon. who were in
New York in connection with the nvesti-
cation Of the alleged gang of safeblowers
and all round burglars. three of whom are
in the District Jail awaiting action of the
grand jury. returned home last night
about II O'Clock.
The ring was taken from the pawnshop
OF f. Warren Johnson. 1924 Pennsylvania
avenue. las: Saturday night. 1t belonged
TO Arthur L. Evans. 1906 14th street.
Several diamond rings and a valuable
gold watch are included in unidentified
property brought back by the detectives
A charm in the shape of a lions head
studded with diamonds is attached to the
timepiece.
The detectives also brought with them
small sack containing about 800 pennies.
1t is their opinion that the sack was
taken from the store of George G. Ate-
mus. 292O 14th street, about the time the
other burglaries were committed in that
section.
AT the time the store was robbed rear
window was jimmied, the entrance having
been effected in manner similar to that
at the Evans house The burglars took
about so most of it in silver change and
dollar bills
During the investigation of the several
burgla ries Detective Weldon vas told
that Richard Osborne. reputed leader of
the gang, had obtained bills for change
such as was taken from the 14th street
store. The recovery of the sack of pen
MES will probably be followed by ad-
ditional charge of burglary being prefer
red against one or more of the trio under
arrest here.
Detectives who have been engaged in
the investigation of the conduct of the
alleged burglars believe they came here
from the south. They may have operated
in Norfolk, where the establishment of
the Prender Grocery Company was en-
tered and the safe blown, and also in
Newport News.
Detectives Weldon and Burlingame con-
sidered themselves fortunate yesterday
when they found the $1,000 diamond and
emerald ring. The ring was in the pos
session Of James Crosby, one of the sew
eral men arrested in New York.
He threw 1t down the elevator shaft of
a building in which he sought hiding
place. After long search Of the bottom
of the shaft the ring was found The
emerald setting was badly damaged.
Peter Peterson and Crosby. two men
arrested in New York. are under charges
there of receiving stolen property. 1t is
alleged that they received the plumber
stolen from houses in this city, including
the one-thousa nd-dollar ring. They are
to be given a hearing in Brooklyn next
Thursday. Witnesses from this city Will
have to apear against them.
