SAY SMOKE LAWS
HAMPER THE CITY

The stringent smoke laws of the DIS
trict prevent the building up of the Ousl-
ness interests of the community through
the encouragement of the location or
manufacturing plants here.
That is the opinion that has been ar
rived at by a number of the members
of the Georgetown Citizens Association
and is one thev- will present to the
Commissioners, through a committee
that will consist of Thomas l.. stanton
F. Baker Weaver. and Robert l. Mid
dleton. The matter was discussed at
length at a meeting of he association
held last evening and the statement
was made that notifications in the law
would permit the entrance to the Dis

PaYY VIII Make Fortune
 Our OfSugar Trust Case

Loeb in the vast sugar scandals.
 There is some conflict of statutes con- corning payments of this character, but it is said that in any event Parr will re- ceive 30 per cent of the amount named, or $700,000
 Parr wa seen at his home tonight and confirmed the report that MT. Osborne has acted favorably on his claim, and that MT. Loeb had ratified the decision.
 ''I do not know exactly how much l will receive," said Parr. In exceptional cases tho government awards 50 per cent, but nor. usually 30 or S5. All the other claims ere before the solicitor, but the fact that mine was upheld speaks for itself ''
 "Moaf 7" as used In connection with the cle IT, denotes a part or portion of, as the definition of the word indicates. The .tutes prescribe

Senate May Postpone
 Lurf0n's Confirmation

Washington, December 1s.-WTtth prob ably less than a quorum of members of either house in the city, all legisla- tion in Congress during the next two days will be by common consent. The House will undertake nothing more than the passage of some bills of minor i'm portance and the completion of it's work on the District of Columbia appropriation bill It has been hoped that the army supply bill might be taken up and dis posed of before adjournment, but the de- parture of so many members has pre- vented this. It is expected that very little time will be necessary for the disposal of the district bill. and with 1t out of the way, the House in the main will simply tread water until time for adjourn ment for the holidays.
 The Senate will undertake very little except the confirmation of Hon. Horace H. Lurton to be associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. The nomination will be reported favorably to- the Senate on Monday.
 It is not expected that a quorum will be present at either Mondays or Tues
 days sessions, and if such should pro- z

New York, December 19.-William Loeb. Jr., collector of the port of New York, has approved the claim to moiety by Richard Parr, original informer in the sugar frauds, on the g, ,130, 4s6 paid Into the United States treasury by the Amer ican Sugar Refining company as restitu- ton for duties evaded by underweigh- ing.
 According to the statutes regulating such awards, Parr will receive mot exceeding In amount one-half of the proceeds" which will mean interest in the case, if the claim is approved by the treasury de- partment approximately s1.0o0000.
 Mir. Loeb approved the claim only after a thorough investigation by H. Osborne, solicitor of the customs department. He held that the claim was valid in that Parr on November %, 1907, discovered a steel spring which was used by the com pany's checkers to influence the weight of draughts of sugar adversely.
 Mir Loeb could not be seen tonight
 Parr is not the only claimant for the award. He had had serious rival in Edwin I. Anderson. another customs employe, but the inference Is that Parr will win out, for the treasury department has ratified practically every move of Mir.

REVOLUTIONlSTS WILL
 MAKE DECISIVE ATTACK

Washington, December 1s.-The revolu- tionists are tired of awaiting attack. ac- cording to advices received here tonight, and a decisive battle between the govern ment troops and the army under Gen. Juan Estrada may be expected within the next day or two. In cablegram to pr. Castrilo, the representative here of the provisional government. General Els trada says:
 ''The enemy has been on our front for eight days. We are strongly entrenehed before Rama, and are awaiting the first opportunity to take the offensive in ac- cordsnce with certain plans"
 What the military plans are is not made clear, nor do the agents of Estrada here know positively. They declare, however, that Estrada undoubtedly has been ex- tending and perfecting system of trenches, until now he feels that he has General Vasquez's army In a position where he can venture an attack with all hopes of success.
 Private dispatches from Bluefieids like wise received by members of the Estrada party here. declare that the resolution of President Zelaya is only a blind. The

Norfolk, Va, December 19:-Having successfully resisted every effort to as- certain her identity, the strange young woman who at Virginia Beach last week signed herself Ruth Morton, Chicago" prior to attempting suicide, both by laud- anum and shooting, still lies conscious at St. vincent's hospital with the mystery surrounding her case as deep as ever.
 In spite of three 22-calibre pistol wounds in her head. her attending physicians believe her recovery is quite likely For the first time since she was secretly brought to the hospital last Thursday, the girl today agreed to take food. For the first time she manifested interest in her probably recover. She had repeatedly de- clared that she wanted to die and have buried with her mans handkerchief and a bunch of withered yiolets which she brought with her to Virginia Beach
 One of the strangest features Of the case is that the police department after all the publicity given, has not received

John R. Bradley Talks.

New York, December 19.-(Special.) )- Yesterdays dispatches from Copenhagen, which state that the committee in charge of the investigation into Dr. Cooks rec ords on which he bases his claim as first at the north pole, was not inclined to ac- cept Dr. Cooks records on the prelim- mary examination loosened several tongues in New York today.
 John R. Bradley. the man who financed reporter. said he re.i. reed the Copen-
 Have you any opinion as to the truth or falsity as to pr. Cooks ciaim.' asked the reporter
 .'See here.' said MT. Bradley, crisply, T am sick and tired of this whole Cook mat ter. l lost my interest in 1t weeks ago"
 Where is pr. Cook at the present time?' MT. Bradley was asked
 He answered with 8 burst of laughter
 T wish l knew. He did not see fit to take me into his confidence. He did not even bid me goodby. The last time I saw him was when he was at the Wal dorf, when he disappeared the first time and turned up later at the Gramatan inn at eronXville.
 'Was there any break in your rela- tion?'
 Well, hardly that" answered MT. Brad ley. He just sort of dropped out of sight and he did not call upon me or send me any sort of word or have any one convey to me his plans for the future.
 Then l lost interest in the Cook busi- ness. I'm just as sick of seeing so much about 1t in the papers as everyone else seems to be. I have washed my hands of the whole business. I don't know any thing about Dr. Cooks whereabouts.
 This definite word that Dr. Cook has parted from the man who furnished him the snews of exploration does not come as a surprise, but it puts the matter in a queer light and will surely set many people to turning the matter over In their minds.
 William l.. Cook, Dr. Cooks brother. who resides in Brooklyn, had also read the papers.
 Where is Dr. Cook" he was asked.
 MT. Cook took some time to consider the matter and then replied, slowly. T cannot tell you that
 But you know where he is, don't you?''
 T cannot say anything now. None of us say anything about it. I believe my brother will take his own time in coming out with statement. He won't talk un- til he gets ready. I wish he could talk because I think the time has come for him to say something"
 ITS it pr. Cooks inteEtion,'' the brother was asked. ito preserve silence until the Danish commission makes it's final re- port?
 Again William Cook hesitated
 'fT do not know what his plans are now I have not seen him in some time"
 Then he added this curious statement;
 "T can't say anything because the whole matter might come o1t.''
 He refused to explain just what this meant.

to be the case, call for an aye and no vote would have the effect of postponing action on Judge Lurton until January No one seems willing to accept this re- sponsibility and Senator Bacon of the judiciary committee, who has charge of the nominations, is hopeful that the ex- pedency of such call will not be re- sorted to. Undeniably there are a num- Der of senators who consider Judge Lur- tons age against him, but not to the ex- tent of pronounced opposition.
 In the main the disposition is to allow the President to have his way in the se- lection of successor to Justice Peck ham, but many of tho senators are dis posed to investigate the record regarding MT I4urton's shortcomings.
 If It were a question of success or defeat Mr. Lurton would have many champions, and there is no doubt would be confirmed on vote- The only ques-
 involved at this time is the advis- of delay. He would bs confirmed :. after the holidays. even though the o 2 tion should be deferred so long. ,th houses will adjourn on Tuesday S two weeks. tho day for the reconven- 6 being fixed for Tuesday. January

TWO KILLED IN WRECK.
Train Goes Too Fast on Curve and Is
 Ditched.

Tucson. Ariz., December 19.-Engineer Tom Walker and Fireman P. w. Bauer, both of Tucson. were killed, ten persons. mostly trainmen, seriously injured, and thirteen others were cut and bruised to- day when an east-bourd Rock Island train. operated over the Southern Pacific tracks was wrecked west of Benson. Ariz. The injured passengers were brought to St Mary's hospital at Tucson. Among the injured are Mrs. l.. w Bel lows, Boston. Mass; Col. William Fife, Cananea. Mex, and Miss Nellie Corbett Southern Pacific officials say that the train struck curve at too high speed.
 The train was running 30 miles an hour. The engine baggage car. mail car and tourist seepers topped from the rails the engine and the mail car rolling 40 feet down into the culvert.
 The injured were nearly all in the tonr- ist sleepers and in the mail car

informants here also say that the entire procedure is plot in which are involved Dr. Madrfz, General Irias. both of whom are mentioned AS Zslayas successor, and a representative of Mexico at the Nica- raguan capital.
 The machinations of the conspirstors, 1t is declared would place Zelaya in tho background under the stress of present circumstances, where he would be free to dictate to tife government and direct the actions of his pupils. The Mexican referred to is said to be friend of Zelaya. and to have worked hand in glove with him in many of his official acts. It is this close cooperation be- tween the Mexican representative and Zelaya that gives rise to the suspicion In Central American circles that zelaya looks to Mexico as the agency whereby he will be enabled to leave the coun- try.
 It was reported in naval circles that the marines now on the Buffalo, who were expected to arrive at Corinto this after noon. are to be disembarked. and be sent to Managua immediately. Officials of the navy department denied they knew of any such orders and the state department maintains silence.

Washington, December 1s-The Mann bill for the reorganization of the gov ernment of the canal zone, which was reported favorably by the House com mittee on interstate and foreign com rnerce, and was before the House during the latter part of last week, will meet with opposition in the form of minority report by three democratic members of the committee which reported the bill. Representative Richardson of Alabama is drafting a report, which will be signed by himself and Representatives Bartlett of Georgia and Peters of Massachusetts and presented in the House some time before the measure comes up for final action It is improbable that the oppo- sition of the minority will cause more

COFFEE IMPORTS
 ARE ENORMOUS

Washington, December 19. - Every American who takes his cup of coffee may like to know that in the ten months of 1909 he has helped use up just S64.- Ooo, 900 worth-s45, 900 600 pounds. and that eight-ninths of 1t came from South America And of all that. Brazil fur nished more than 6O0y000.o .oo0 pounds.
 Including coffee. all previous records for South American imports will be passed this year by 70 per cent, according to the calculations of the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The total value of all the imports will be more than 20.0ooooo.
 In return our exports to South Amer lea will probably equal, if they do not exceed, lhe high mark mads in 1907, when they touched $860o0.o0o.
