Sanity Test.

Emphatic denial was made at Police
Headquarters today of a story printed
in a morning newspaper that the Wash

who walked into the First precinct sta

being bounded by Pinkerton detectives,
Is the man who shot Arthur MCArdle In
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's office in Detroit about nve
months ago.
Delaney was locked up on charge OF
insanity, and now is in the Washington
Asylum Hospital for observation. De-
laney has made no statement that
would implicate him in the McArdle
affair, and the police have received no
message from the Detroit authorities.
Walking into the staionhouse late
Saturday night Delaney said he wanted
protection. He told a story about hav-
ing worked for a press association in
Chicago go-several years ago, and, writing
a story about q divforce case which
so displeased the husband OF the woman

he employed detectives to hound him

Mrs. Elizabeth Duvall began today to
attempt securing the release of her
daughter, Mrs. Laura Y. Geagan, from
the District Jail, where Mrs. Geagan is
held in default of $500 bonds on charge
of forgery. Mrs. DuVall went to see
Mrs. Geagan in Jail this morning, and
afterward went to see DR.. Richard b.
Leonard, who had indorsed a forged
check for Mrs. Geagan, and who swore
the warrant for her arrest.
Mrs. DuVall and DR.. Leonard, after a
conference, set about making plans to-
gether to have Mrs. Geagan released. 1t
was impossible to learn their plans.
'T want to get my daughter out OF
jail-that is all I can think OF now,
Mrs. Duvall said today.
Mrs. Duvall could think of one other
thing, though; she could think OF the
one-year-old grandson, whose father
had gone away when the baby was a
month old, and whose mother was held
away by the cell bars. Mrs. Duvall and
a sympathetic neighbor, with baby
in its little carriage, sat in a shadow
between Mrs. Duvalls home. 9Os Tenth
street southeast and the house next
door.
She is a tall, spare woman. and she
looked worn and tired. II was easy to
see that she had endured much, but
that her spirit was not broken. though
hope seemed banished from the world
for her. Her husband was dead, her
daughter was in jail, two sons, whom
she mentioned and would not talk Of.

fretful and istless by turn. Yet she
talked of what she might be able to do.
All So Sudden.
'T don't know what I'll do" Mrs. Du-
vail said this morning. 1T was all so
sudden and shocking. The first 1 ever
heard Of the trouble was when l came

Tramps Appeal to Taft

sought by Klinger and Howe to pre-
sent the matter to Congress.
Fort Thomas was abandoned by the
army last March and the extensive
grounds since have been unoccupied.

so she may not be able to work. Mrs.
Geapan's husband, Patrick Geagan, left
his wife soon after the baby was born'
a year ago, she said. He was wire

America to work for the United Fruit

related, the wife had letter from the
company saying that Geagan had gone
away to parts unknown.
Got Discouraged.
Mrs. Duvall said the daughter must
have suffered in silence as long as
she could after giving up her place
in a department store down town
when the baby got sick. Evidently,
Mrs. Duvall said. Mrs. Geagan was
unwilling longer to be a burden on
her, and had used the bad checks to
buy food and clothes for them.
Mrs Geagan confessed in Police Court
to the charge of forgery. First. it is
related, she passed a worthless check
or a department store, and, when she
was detected, she was told that she
would be arrested II she did not make
II good in a certain time. She told
Judge PuGh. in Police Court yesterday,
that she had forged the name of John

TARIFF Of CATERER
ON PIE IS KNOTTY
PROBLEM IN HOUSE
Settlement of Gastronomic
/ Puzzle Awaits Commit
tee Quorum.

One Of the greatest gastronomic prob
lems that ever confronted the House of
Representatives and its S91 members, is
still unsolved today because of the alb
eence of a committee quorum. The Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds
1.-The news should be broken gently
has no quorum in town. and until the
Rbsentees drift in the House will not
know who is to be its caterer.
Chairman Sheppard says his commit
tee does not propose to decide such a
delicate question until at least a ma
5ority of the full membership is pres
ent.'
1t was reported that the committee
would select a caterer last Thursday.
Thirteen bidders went to sleep Wednes-
day night and were kept awake by
anxiety more impelling than the heat
But Thursday came, and with It no
quorum of the committee. The old or
der of things continued, and one OF
the bidders, the present caterer, was
thankful for the respite.
No Change In Years.
The House hasn't changed its res
taurateur in years. The present dis
penser of viands to the Congressional
appetite is, however. a hold-over from
a Republican Administration and he
must bid some" to retain the privi-
tege of feeding the unterrified Democ-
Facy. The Democrats are still pie hun
CRY in every sense of the word.
The members are not actually go
ing hungry while the committee at
tempts to assemble its absentees. But
a number of them are not eating as
much as they might. In the first place,
there are certain statesmen, used to
the good old country dinners, who be-
1ieve that the present restaurant
prices are too high. One of them
carefully figured up the cost of a pie
the other day. Twas found that said
pie had been cut into six slices, each
OF which was retailed for 10 cents.
netting the restaurant so cents.
Gee, that pie couldn't have cost
over 20 cents in the beginning said
the statesman, "and If were back
home 1 could make a dozen for the
price. This will not do
Wall OF Caterer.
Thereupon the pie-eater carried his
troubles to the Sheppard committee.
He averred that dairy lunch prices
ought to prevail in the Capitol restau-
rant where the caterer receives his
light, water, heat, rent and furnish
lngs free. The caterer came back with
an argument like this:
Il serve no breakfast. Nobody is
here to dinner, as a general thing.
only get a lookin at lunch time. l
must hire the help" for all day, and
j never know how to order for you
fellows, for the very day think you'll
sit late and eat a lot you adjourn
early and eat little. On days that I
expect an early adjournment and
therefore don't order much, you are
apt to stay in session ten hours, and
i run out Of nearly everything except
soup. Therefore, I've got to charge
10 cents for coffee, 20 cents for soup.
10 cents for pie, 25c for q crab etc"
Anyway, the committee faces a great
question dealing with the tariff on pie,
buttermilk. ginger ale, small steaks, and
what not, and everybody will be glad
when quorum is on hand and the
gastronomic problem is settled.
