Washington girl yesterday, when Miss
Blanche w. Barr, who resides with her
parents at lbs o street northwest, was
married to a youth whom she designated
in ten-page Letter to her mother as

night, as the bridal couple covered their
tracks from friends by miles of railroad,
according to a rumor that the wedding
took place either in New York City. or
Albany. Mrs. Barr refused to make any
statement concerning her daughters mar
riage.

Negroes Accused of Unusual Crime
by Their Victim.

Newark. n. j., March Cora Fisher.
seventeen years old, of So Stuyvesant
avenue, VaiIsburg section of Newark, is
in the city hospital. with her legs badly
burned, the result, if her story is true,
of a fiendish attempt made last night by
two negroes to burn her to death. The at
tempt was made, according to the girl,
in the hall of three-story tenement at
491 South Tenth street, where she had
gone to visit the family of Emil Dirgo,
who lives on the third floor.
When the girl entered the hall she
claims she was seized by two men and
while one placed his hands over her
mouth, preventing her from making any
outcry, the other threw her to the floor.
While she was struggling she claims they
poured oil on her clothing and then ap-
piled a match: 1t was from the light
of the match, she says, that she saw
they were negroes. When her dress
blazed UP they fed. she claims, and she
rushed screaming into the street. A
passerby extinguished the flames. 1t
was after the girl had reached the hos
pital that she told her story
Efforts to corroborate her story were

SENATE In DEBATE
ALL NIGHT LONG
Continued from PaEe One.

Senator La Toilette showed signs of at
tempting to block consideration of the
appropriation bills. They were displeased
at the agreement to displace the tariff
bill. and served notice that they would
insist upon it being taken up for consid-
Grafton again.
Senator Owen insisted upon having the
appropriation bills read in full, and
otherwise obstructed a speedy dispatch
of the business. A dozen Senators cUf-
lected around his desk. gesticulating and
pleading with him to desist Mr.. owen.
however, was stubborn, and insisted on
a roll call on an amendment to strike
out comma and insert semicolon.
This took about ten minutes.
Finally, Senator Hale, who is in charge
Of most of the appropriation bills,
begged Senator Owen to deSiSt, at least
until the bill should be passed. Mr..
owen yielded. and the Senate took re-
cess from until Sis O'Clock.
Postal Budget Up.
When the Senate came together after
the recess the flbuster against the ap-
preparation bills had assumed definite
form. Senator Penrose, chairman of the
Post-office Committee, called up the big
postal appropriation bill, carrying about
s240, OO.OOO
Senator Owen Immediately began to
obstruct the passage of this bill, and
Republicans were dismayed a few min
utes later to find that Senator Stone. the
Democratic long-distance talker. and one
OF two of his followers were also in the
field to delay action. Owens purpose in
blocking a vote on the appropriation bill
was clear enough, but Republicans were
mystifed by this new maneuver on the
part of the Democrats.
The general impression seemed to be.
however, that Senator Stone and his
supporters had started out with the de-
termination Of throwing some of the big
appropriation bills over into a special
session. This would afford the Demo-
Gratis OF the House an opportunity to
make political capital out of a reduc-
ton in appropriations, and would greatly
embarrass the Taft administration.
The Republicans grew more and more
disturbed over the turn that affairs had
taken, and they hurried about the cham
Der, whispering excitedly in little groups
and now and then rushing over to the
Democratic side in an effort to dissuade
the obSructerS. Postmaster General
Hitchcock also was on the floor of the
Senate and obviously was on pins and
needles over the hOld-up.

the audience was so demonstratfve that
women tainted from fright. Outside the
theater Camelots de Roi created an up
roar. The police were unable to disperse
the crowd. and the dilitary was, called
upon. Cavalry suddenly appeared on the
scene. riding their horses at trot and
with their swords drawn. Their appear
ance was the signal for the 0amelots TO

ty arrests were made.
A striking contrast was presented at

enraptured. The critics are unanimous
in their praise of the work.
The audience at the Odson Theater was
surprised TO find that the play entitled
Maud was merely French adaptation
of Bret Harte's .-The Luck of Roaring
Camp. The author. Pierre. Lecomte cu
Novy, makes no acknowledgment Of the
source of his play. There is no doubt
that under the French law Bret Hartos

Against S5O,OOO,OOO Measure.

The Sulloway pension bill, carrying ap-
propriations of nearly SO.OoO,OoO, which
was passed by the House, and which the
President has indicated that he would
veto. was put to sleep late yesterday
afternoon in the Senate, so far as this
session of Congress is concerned.
The measure was offered as an amend
ment to the general pension bill, where
upon Senator Lodge made a point Of
order against its consideration on the
ground that 1t came under the rule that
excludes general legislation.

point of order. He declared that If the
Federal government could AFFORD to issue
bonds to build the Panama Canal and
spend millions on the navy and army, II
ought to raise money 10 provide for the
old soldiers.

APPEAL REVISION RETAINED.
Action of COnferees on Bill Bitterly
Opposed.


Bitterly opposed for weeks by the
Washington Bar Association and the
Chamber of Commerce. who fought tooth
and nail that portion of the bill intro
duced in Congress to codify. revise, and
amend the laws relating to the judiciary,
which restricts the right of appeal from
the District Court of Appeals to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, the
bill was yesterday retained by the con-
ferees practically as it passed the Senate.
The conference report, to the disap-
pointment of many lawyers and citizens
in general, recommends the enactment
of the restriction of the right of appeal.
For 100 years, according to A. Left
wich Sinclair, the District has enjoyed
the right of appeal to the Supreme Court
in all cases where the value of the mat
ter involved exceeded 5000.
Chaplin Brown, of the committee ap-
pointed to protest against the restrictive
measures, was of the opinion last night
that just because the conference report
recommended adoption it did not follow
that the Senate and House would make
it la win the near future.
THE Senate is not passing anything in
a hurry" Mr.. Brown said.
