BURNHAM'S BILL INVALID.
Government VIII Not Pay for Press
ing His Clothes

''The pressing of clothes has never, to
my knowledge, been held to be a per-
sonal expense occasioned by travel" said
Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell,
speaking of the item of $475 in the ex-
pense account of ID. H. Burnham, of
Chicago, architect and chairman of the
Fine Arts Commission. He incurred the
expense on a recent trip to Washington
to attend a meeting of the commission
The charge seemed proper to the audi
tor, and he approved 1t and forwarded
it to the Comptroller, who gave an opin-
ion that while a member of the Fine
Arts Commission is expected to look
spick and span, it is not the duty of the
government to pay the bill.

Editor The Washington He-ald:
l see in your interesting account Of the
cases of gianders occurring in a livery
stable in this city that the carcases of
the horses which were shot were turned
over to a fertilizing plant TO be used
as fertilizer. 1t seems to me that this
is rather a dangerous thing to do, in
view OF the very contagious nature OF
the disease, and that it is frequently COM
municated to man. Cases have fire.
quently occurred where hogs, geese, and
cattle have contracted disease from feed
ing on the grass growing in a pasture
field where horses and cattle suffering
from epizootic and other contagious dis
eases have been buried a year or two
previously.
I should advise that all animals dying
of virulent diseases should be burned, and
not buried or made into fertilizer.

Author Admits He Deserted The Army
Through lnfatuatlon for
Women.

Paris, France. - There were riotous
scenes at the Coincide Franchise in
the course of the production Of Henry
Bernstein's "Apres Moi" rivaling those
which in 1891 forced the withdrawal
after tive presentations OF Victorien
sardou's 'Thermfdor."
NJ. Lepine, the project Of police, had
hundreds Of police and republican
guards scattered about inside the the.
alter. In the first act whore LIE Bargy

most irreparable thing in life?" man
In the balcony rose and shouted q
coarse epithet as response. Instant
~ the theater was in an uproar. Cries
of Put him out" and Of "No. no."
were everywhere yelled as detectives
dragged the offending man from his
seat. This demonstration was follow
ed by cries of "deserter" and down
with the Jews" and It was several
minutes before the manifestants ceased
and permitted the actors to proceed.
A moment later pigeons, which had
been hurled from the gallery, caused
women in the audience t" shrek as
they fluttered helplessly RI the on
chestra.
During intermission after the first
act the "Camelots du Dol" started q
riot in the gallery, and as they were
dragged out several were struck by
adherents of Bernstein.
After this scores of spectators, men
and women, with threatening gestures
engaged in loud argument for and
against the play. "
The climax of the disorder waA
reached In the second act when six
men barricaded themselves in lodge
and caused a suspension Of the play
for five minutes by blowing fish horns.
Finally the police battered in the door
and arrested the disturbers.
There is sensational controversy
going on in the newspapers concerning
Bernstein, who has written letter to
LIE Matin admitting he had deserted
from the army four months before his
time was up, but claimed this act was
due to his infatuation for woman.
Last night Bernstein wrote letter
to M. BRAND, the premier, asking him

opinion as to what ought to be done
with Hungary turned Michigan avenue
into q scene of uproar and riot after
Count Albert Apponyi, the Hungarian
stateman, had delivered an address to
the United Hungarian societies in
Music hall at the Fine Arts building
The meeting itself was turned topsy.
turvy by a delegation of Hungarian
socialists and Slavs, who had distrib
uted themselves in various part of the
house. These attempted to drown out
the speaker, shouted defiance at the
police, and successfully opposed ejec.
ton from the building.
Outside the building were 1000 dis.
appointed men and women who failed
to get into the hall. A spirit of pro.
test against the Apponyi policies got
sympathy from the crowd, and rioting
started at once. John Sipons and a
man who gave the name Stekyick
were arrested charged with melting
riots.
When Count Apponyi left the build
ing to go to his automobile the crowd
sot up jeering cry of cab suk," "Ab
suk," which was translated to mean
Down with him." =.
A small band of Hungarian socialists
started the cry and then it was taken
up by 600 voices. The first riot &C.
Cured in front of the Chicago club,
when an Apponyi champion slugged a
man who had spoken slightingly to the
Hungarian statemsan. Hats flew right
and left.
On the opposite corner of Van Buren,
street and Michigan avenue the most
serious brawl took place. Here half a
dozen socialists were attacked by as
many Apponyi supporters, and blood
from bruised noses spattered over the
spectators. Officers made one arrest
at this corner. and what threatened
to make a good-sized riot was broken
up.
The crowd dispersed only to form
again at the corner of State and Van
Buren, streets another slgging match
on Wabash avenue having been broken
up by spectators-when someone
shouted Down with Apponyi!"
After ordere had been restored
around the Fine Arts building the po-
lice found near a side entrance two
metallic tubes which it was declared
were bombs. They were taken to
the Harrison street police station,
where examination showed that the
missiles were only make believe in
fernal machines.
When opened the supposed bombs
were found to consist of heavy black
cardboard tubes, capped at each end
and wound with a few strands of
cord. Inside was a small quantity
of clay. The appearance of the mis-
siles, that of dangerous machines,
evidently was expected to precipitate
a panic, but the rioting prevented a
chance of their being thrown.
Police said Apponyi was struck sew
eral times, once above the left eye
and once on the jaw, with some force.
He was not injured, however. He re-
fused today to discuss the affair.

REPORT .. PEACE in MEXICO.
REvoLuTIoNlsTs ASSERT GOV.
EMINENT IS MAKING TENDERS.
President Dlaz' Minister Of Forsian
Affairs Denies Alleged
Advances.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Dr. Vazque2
Gomez, head Of the confidential agency
here of the Mexican revolutionists, an.
nounced that he indirectly had re.
ceived overtures for, peace from the
federal government.
DR.. Gomez said that the confidential
agent here had been advised by its
junta in Ell Paso, Tex, of the desire
of Governor Ahumada Of Chihuahua
to confer in Chihuahua with Francisco
I. Madero, leader Of the revolution,
and also had been informed through
its junta in San Antonio. Tex, that
three delegates of the Diaz govern.
ment wished to meet DIR. ODmez on the
border and arrange for the termina.
ton of hostilities.
DR.. Gomez, who was for long time
the family physician of President Diaz,
and who was, in the last election, can
didate for the vice presidency of
Mexico on the same ticket as Fran.
cisco I. Madero, the candidate for
president, declared that the provision.
al government would not undertake
any negotiations of peace except I'M
der the condition that the delegates
shall be legally and fully authorized
with written powers"
Official Recognition Desired.
He added that it was further de
sired by the revolutionists that the
arrangement for peace negotiations
should be published and recognized
by the federal government officially"
These steps, he explained, were nee
cessary because of the reputation by
the federal government of connection
with the peace conference arranged
by Governor Sanchez last November.
DR.. Gomez asserted that the revo-
lutionists would insist on the abdica-
ton of the presidency by Diaz. He
said that he had telegraphed to the
junta at San Antonio, Tex, for infor-
nation as to the source of the over.
lures for peace and the names of the
three peace ENJOYS sent there by Diaz.
A categorical denial of the state
ments contained in DR.. Comez's an
nouncement was made by Lieut.. Col.
Porforio Diaz, Jr., chief of the presi-
dental staff.
Col. Diaz's denial extended to the
statement that DR.. Gomez was the
family physician of Gen. Diaz at one
time. He attended one of Col Diaz's
children on one occasion only and was
never employed by the president.
Mexican Minister Denies Overtures.
Mexico City, Feb. 27.-Enrique C.
Creel, the Mexican minister of foreign
relations, denied last night that any
peace overtures had been made by
President Diaz to the revolutionists in
Mexico, as alleged by Gomez in his an.
nouncement at Washington.
"As far as I am aware, no such
overtures have been made" said Mr..
Creel, "and as for the appointment of
peace ENJOYS, 1 can state positively
that the assertion is untrue"
Mr.. Creel is member Of the presi.
dents official family, upon whose
counsel the chief executive has seem
ingly placed great reliance during the
present political difficulties of the ma
ton.
