LEGISLATION TO PUNISH :.
THEFTS ABOARD TRAINS
Bill Pending Which Covers Of
lenses Not Provided for Un-
der District Law.

A bill to punish the theft of express
packages, freight, trunks or articles con-
tanned in them is now before the Dis
trict Commissioners as the result Of a
recent decision Of the Court of Appeals,
which leaves the District, it is believed
by railroad lawyers, without law to
punish criminals for bringing stolen goods
into the District. The bill is the result
also of the arrest and indictment of a
baggage master on the charge of grand
larceny, which set out that he had taken
jewelry and other articles from trunks
intrusted to him on his regular run.
Suits for Recovery.
The railroad company had claims to
the amount of $4,000 Instituted against
it by people who missed articles from
their baggage at various times. The
baggage masters plan of operation was
to open trunks and grips with duplicate
keys, take out what he wanted, and let
the trunk go on to its destination.
Practically all these operations occur
red on north-bound trains, and as the
baggage master did not leave his car
until it arrived in Washington, the pros
ecution held that the baggage masters
larcenies were committed In this Dis
trict, although the actual opening of bag
gage occurred in North Carolina or Vir-
ginia. The prosecution also showed that
some of the articles were disposed of
i'll Washington.
Reversed on Appeal.
This case was reversed in the Court Of
Appeals on the ground that the United
States failed to show that the actual
opening Of trunks and extraction Of the
articles occurred within the limits of
the District of Columbia: the ruling of
the lower court being that the larceny
could not be complete until the defendant
actually took the property out of the
possession of the railway company"
In a memorandum to the Commission
ers from a lawyer interested in having
the bill become law, 1t is said:
This late decision leaves the, District
without any law to punish criminals for
bringing stolen goods into the District,
and you can readily see it is practically
out of the question to prosecute such
cases in the state courts for the reason
that we would never be able to lay the
venue in any one of the several counties
through which the train was running
during the time the larceny was being
committed.

KEEPS DEATH PACT
Woman Stays Her Son and
Commits Suicide.
COMPLIES WITH PROMISE
Agreement Made With Husband
During His Last Ilness--Triple
Funeral Wednesday.

OXFORD. Me-, February 13--In fulfill
band during his lingering illness. which
death ended Saturday, Mrs. Lynwood S.
Keene took her own life yesterday, after
having fatally shot her fourteen-year-
old son Gerald.
The compact, dated about a month
back, was found by the coroner in a
sealed envelope in the woman's room.
keene once was a prosperous farmer,
but. according to the compact, the fam
lily became impoverished and discouraged
during his long sickness. He was thirty
eight years Old and his wife q year or
two younger.
Terms of the Agreement.
The document, found in dresser in Mr..
keene's room along with several fare
well letters to relatives, bore the names
of both Mr.. and Mrs. keene. although
the husband apparently. had been too
feeble to make more than his mark, his
name being written by his wife. The
document fecited briefly the family trou-
bles, the result of Mr.. keenes Illness.
In it his death was predicted, and it was
stated as both the parents thought it
would. be wrong to have their son re-
main in the world to suffer the troubles
they had experienced, Mrs. Keene bound
herself to do away" in the words of
the compact, with herself and their son
Gerald as soon as possible after the
death of the husband and father.
Friends of the family who were in the
house yesterday assisting in preparing
the body of Mr.. Keene for burial heard
shots fired upstairs. They found the boy
Gerald in bed in his chamber with a bull
let wound in his right temple. So close
had the revolver been held to the child's
head, probably while he was asleep. that
the hair about his temple was singed.
The boy was alive. but unconscious when
found He lived less than an hour.
Triple Funeral Wednesday Next.
The door of Mrs. keene's room was
broken in and her body was found
stretched On the bed. She had placed
the revolver muzzle to the roof of her
mouth and fired, death probably being
instantaneous. The revolver was orS the
bed beside her.
In letters to relatives, to whom small
gifts were made of personal belongings.
the husband and wife asked to be buried
in a double casket and that their sons
coffin and theirs be placed in the same

Street 100 Feet in Width.

extensions Of streets have been made into
unoccupied territory Senator Gallinger
commented further, there have been
donations of the streets made by those
who own the land
Yes, SENATOR" Mr.. Lee replied, land
of this two and a half miles two miles
have been donated. The street is 100 feet
wide. IT is hard to realize that that street
itself is two-thirds of an acre wide
How much will it lack, II extended, of
connecting with your road system?
Senator Foster asked.
I'VE will get that connection in before
you can possibly get the street out" Mr..
Lee answered. Under the appropriation, it
street out, and we certainly can make
our Maryland connection with it before
you get the street to the District line.
We come here asking you to connect
this street with our great road uNa system, In
which we are spending $6,OOO,OO0 and on
which we are going to have another bond
issue soon. We have already spent our
first allotment of S214, 600 in Montgomery
county. We have an allotment of 500, 900
now pending and further allotment is to
be made. We expect to develop that road
system in very creditable manner"
Miles of Good Pike.
"Twenty-four miles of the thrty-seven
miles of pike l have mentioned are in
that road system and are to be directly
connected with this bridge. and with this
street. We do not think we are here a
bit too soon asking you to take steps to
connect your streets with our state sys-
tenn. which will mature and will be put
through quickly as you can put
through this street.
You already have 100000 in 10th
street. You already have 81 900 in
Rock Creek Park. Even IL it was bad
business to open 10th street, You have
enough good money in it to justify It's
completion with $4,000. 1t looks to me
like sound business policy even if it had
been bad investment. But have
shown you that you have had a return
of So, 100000 of taxable basis for having
expended $1,6v,OO0. 1t is highly pro-
fitable thing to the District Of Columbia
in every sense of the word, as we'll as
opening free competition in subdivisions
and lots to the average purchasing c.
zen.
Committee Omits the Item.
When the Senate committee came to
draft amendments to the District bill It
did not include one .or the extension of
10Th street. The attitude which the COM
mittee took toward the project is shown
| by remark made by Senator Gallinger
during the hearing.
There is no question, Mr. Lee, but
| that that improvement will have to be
made some time Senator Gallinger re-
marked. But this is year of reason
able economies and We have very little
| margin to go and come on in this bill
even as the House has passed it, to reac,
/ the estimates that the Commissioners
| have recommended. We have only q
small margin. If you take half of it In
one item, you can see how it leaves u.s.

ALL IN READINESS
 FOR THE 4. B. BALL

The first real baZmaraz event that ever stirred the social depths of Idit- arod, is that which will be held al Ansley's hall tonight when the Iditarod A. B. club will take their wives and sweethearts oyer few terpsichOrean hurdles. The stage is set and the worC has gone forth, wherefore there will be many a fair one there to grace the scene and to do honor to the club bl her presence.
 Through the efforts of the committee on arrangements, consisting of Albert Vile, E, G. Lindberg, Earl Hunt, Jack Donohue and Bill Ansley, himself, the hall has been converted into very de sirable place to which one may go tC enjoy himself. To say nothing about Kemp's four-piece orchestra, which will tear off few bars Of real peIucid pandemonium, there will be things dn- ing in the way of large punch bowls with chunks of ice floating thereabOuts
 Down stairs the whole floor has been turned into reception rooms, suitable for card playing if one listeth.
 The actual dancing will be preceded by we'll selected musical program to be rendered by the best talent in the city, among them being Mrs. Dunham, Mrs. Edward Troughten, Jack Dono- hue. Otto Moses and possibly others
 Altogether it looks like the event should be the real goods, and everyone should be on hand, not only that the club needs your contribution of three bones for the new hall, but that you will be paying yourself a pretty little compliment,

No Dog Feed There

For those who are contemplating a trip to the Tokotna or over the Seward trail, it may be of importance to know that if they 20 shy on dog feed they will find themselves up against it in that section, for there ain't no dog feed there.
 Bob Griffis says he couldn't get any in the Kuskokwim when he came over from Seward recently. He was com pelled to come in by Diskaket way, having to make a wide detour to get to point where he could secure canine combustible. He borrowed a little at Tokotna Post. only on the agreement to return it.

 Still Holding GOOd

Fairbanks, Feb 3.-The most impor- tant find made in many d day-or since the left-limit paystreak was uncovered on Goldstream last summer-has been made on Eva creek, a tributary of Ester from the left limit at 4-b., where there is now reason to believe that a paystreak exists.
 The find was made on the right-limit benches of Eva, about three-quarters of a mile above Ester creek on ground owned by Mike Wagner. MT. Wagner himself has been doing the sinking, and at a depth of over loo feet he landed on bedrock and in ground that will pay to work. This, however. is regarded merely on the edge of the channel, for the bedrock is dipping sharply into the hill. Wagner is pre- pairing to drift into the hill, his pay now showing S1.25 to the foot, and 30 feet of gravel.

TELL CENTRAL WHERE
 FIRE IS LOCATED

When you call up the Hello" gil at the telephone office to cry out in an agitated voice that there is fire in your house and that you would be pleased to have the department call around and see you for few minutes, don't tell her that you live next to Sawyer's in the little red house painted green. Don't take up her time by ex- plaining that you would have had a picket fence only that bailing wire was cheaper.
 Just tell central where you live and do it by streets. The streets are all named and easily remembered. By saying that the fire is on Black between First and Second or on the corner of Bonanza and Second, you put the fire chief hep at once and he just runs out and turns his little hose on you.

After some six weeks in the Rein. deer country during which they sank a number of holes on creeks tributary to Reindeer, Ed Anderson, Charles Streit and Charles Craig returned last Monday to fditarod and declared them- selves uninterested in that section at least until something more develops.
 They worked diligently while in the country. but found nothing to reward their efforts and are quite willing to leave the work of prospecting to those already there. As to the results of the work done by the other prospectors there, they are non-committal, but are apparently of mind not to boost for the Reindeer district until it shows a better excuse.
