ton and is willing t. at the books OF the
Arm shall be examined.

Of the warrant at the instance Of Charles

q difference between them about the pur-
chase of stock held by Tice.
and employed Tice, because of his me-
chanicai ability The latter recently re-
signed because he had obtained a better
paying position. Following his res!gna-
ton Tice, it is said, made an effort to dis

but it was refused.
He first learned OF the issuance of the
warrant about II O'Clock this morning.
and he made no effort to keep out OF the
way Of the detectives. Lamb says papers
have disappeared from his desk since the
trouble started. and he is going to get a
warrant for the person he thinks took the
papers.

house, 1882 Columbia road. He has been
in this city about fifteen months. Arr

TREASURY IS SIZING Up
UNITED STATES CREDIT
Trying to Determine Interest
Rate on Authorized Panama
. Bond Issue.

Secretary Macveagh and Assistant Sec
rotary Andrew Of the Treasury Depart
ment are following closely the prices OF
the bonds of the leading countries OF
Europe, with the idea of forming an opin-
ion as to the rate at which the United
states government might be able to bor-
row Il no circulation privilege were at
tached to the bonds.
The tariff act OF August 5. 1903, author
lied the government to issue bonds to the
extent Of $3.50. $50 600. at q rate not ex-
ceeding per cent. to cover the building
of the Panama canal
These disbursements average perhaps

On that account and because the rate OF

bonds should be sold is matter or vital
interest. although there Is no ilnmeoiaae
necessity for the issue Of these bonds or
prospect of their issue in the near future

Secretary Macveash and Mr.. Andrew

without regard to any especial privilege.
They arc also Of opinion that no step
should be taken which would impair
the value Of the $730.00O.OOO OF per
cent bonds now outstanding. IL mas
been widely claimed that any consid-
erablo increase in the amount OF such
bonds would be likely to reduce the
per cents below par. even though tue
circulation privilege were continued.
The government cannot fail TO main
tain it's moral obligations to the holders
of these bonds by taking any step whicn
would impair their value. At the same
time, it is generally agreed that the In
fiation Of the currency in the future by
means of bond issues should be avoided:

changes in our banking laws, would be
deplorable.

WIDOW GETS $4,000
FOR HUSBANDS DEATH
Maximum Amount Awarded in
Case of Man Killed on
Scenic Railway.

A verdict for $4,000, the maximum A.
lowed by the law for an injury resulting
In death. was returned this afternoon BY
| jury in Circuit Court No. before Jus
tice Barnard. The verdict Is in favo
Of Mrs. Ray Brez. Administrative OF the
estate Of her husband. Colman Brez.
| against the Chesapeake Beach Railwa,
Company and the Chesapeake Beach Ho-
tel Company.
The evidence showed MIR. Brez met his
death while riding on the scenic railway
at Chesapeake Beach in August 1905 H..
was accompanied by his youngest daugh-
ter, and during the ride was struck on
the head by part of the super structure
Of the scenic railway falling which re-
suited i'm his being thrown against tn"
upright posts alongside of the tracks GA
which the scenic railway car was runnin::
at a rapid rate of speed. His skull vas
crushed, causing instant death.
Carelessness is Alleged.
Mr.. Brez left family of six children
besides the widow. He was employed 4
the Agricultural Department as an expert
cutler. besides conducting place of bust
ness on New York avenue for a numbe
Of years.
The defendants produced evidence tend
ing to show that the accident WAS the
result of the carelessness Of the deceased
in failing to keep his seat In the car il
which he rode. and the Chesapeake Bcac.I
Railway Company also commended that II
was in no way responsible for the opera
ton of the scenic railway, but the jury
concluded from the evidence that both
defendants were liable. because the evil
dence tended to show that the Chesapeake
Beach Hotel Company was operated as
department or agent Of the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Company in conducting
the resort.
The plaintiff was represented by At
torneys Leon Tobriner and Alvin L. New
myer.
