DIRECTOR BARRETT
RECEIVES VISITORS
Informal Affair Is Held at
Bureau of Republics.

Lights blazed brightly at the Bureau
OF American Republics last night for the
first time IN more than two months
Director John Barrett informally received
the delegates to the Esperanto Congress.
Tn formal reception by Director Bar
rett was called off on account Of the
death Of President Pedro Mont, OF Chile.
II had been on the programme as the
most brilliant social event in connection
with the gathering Of Esperantists.
DR.. L. L. Zamenhof. inventor of Es-
peranto. and Mrs. Zamenhof. were
among the most interested Of the guests
who inspected the beautiful building last
night. Director Barrett. who has been
IN in New York, personally conducted
DR.. Zamenhof and some Of the other
leading Esperanusts through the build
ing.
There has been a persistent rumor go
ing the rounds since the congress started
10 the effect that Mr.. Barrett, though
president of the American Esperanto So
ciety. is not very proficient in the tongue
But this was denied emphatically at the
Arlington last night. Delegates who
ought 20 know declared Mr.. Barrett car

NO MORE PASSES.
Treasury Denies Privilege to Repre-
sentative Goldfogel.

Henry NJ Goldfogel. Representative
from the Ninth district of New York, has
been denied the use Of passes on the
revenue cutters plying in the waters about
the mouth of the Hudson. Such is the
directions in an order issued by the
Treasury Department TO Collector Loeb.
II appears that the New York Repre-
sentative has been making application
for this perquisite OF the members OF
Congress too freely Of late, and II is
charged against him that he made m's-
representation at the Office OF the col
lector to obtain one or more such passes.
The rule of the department is that 2
pass may be issued at the request Of a
government official for a person TO go
down the bay in New York TO meet an
incoming steamer provided the person
in question has a sick relative aboard
the steamer
1t is said that few days ago Mr. Cold
fogel applied for a PASS, making the
statement that he wished to go aboard
the incoming vessel, with view TO as
sisting a sick relative 10 land Upon
boarding the steamer down the bay
Representative Goldfogel was greeted by
a woman on deck apparently in the best
OF health and spirits. She gave no evil
dence of illness at the time or Of recent
date, and, it is said, this was the only
relative" the Representative assisted to
land when the steamer arrived at the
pier
Following this incident. the order from
the Treasury Department was issued here
to stop the supply Of passes TO the New
York Congressman.
