FORMER SENATOR ROBBED.
Marion Butler Reported to Police
That Burglars Entered Home.

Marion Butler. former United States
senator from North Carolina. now a resi-
dent of this city. reported to the police
last night that his house. 200 r street
northwest. had been robbed during his
recent absence from the city.
Finger prints We're left by the burglars
and the police may make an effort TO
trace the burglar by getting prints OF
them. An automobile trip through New
England and visit to his former home
in North Carolina were concluded by the
former senator and his family about two
weeks ago. and when they reached home
they discovered that the contents of the
linen room had been disturbed. the tran
som having been removed.
Each day additional articles were
missed. and last night the police of the
tenth precinct were told of the robbery
A rifle and gun, worth $780, the police
were told. and plume valued at 500
were taken. Before going away for tne
summer Mr.. Butler had his solid silver
ware put in a safe deposit box, he stated
and he also had special policeman give
his premises some attention.
Ii is thought probable that entrance TO
the house was gained through the man
hole i'm the roof, although il is possible
that duplicate key was used There
the intruders, and when the family re-
turned the disturbed transom of the linen
room was the only suspicious condition
noticed.
The police We're told that the property
thus far missed is valued at about $50.
Ii is possible that other articles were
also taken.

President McGrath if any one had been
found who approved of the proposed in
crease.
{. NJ. Clark suggested that in adopting
a resolution opposing an increase in rates
the association refrain from using i'm
moderate language.
Mr.. Clark found many advocates for a
mildly worded but firm resolution on the
subject After ascertaining this senti-
ment, Charles H. Williams introduced the
following resolution.
THAT the Park View Citizens Associa-
ton is opposed TO any increase of rates
over those now existing, and desires the
board of District Commissioners to so
recommend and act"
The ordered increase in water rates in
the District was criticised at the meeting
or the Citizens Northwest suburban As
sociations IN Tenleytown last evening. Va
