MYSTERIOUS THEFT
MAY CAUSE TROUBLE

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
London, May 4.-There We're several in
teresting developments to-day in the
mystery of the dissertation of the
Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem by an
Anglo-Saxon syndicate and the removal
of the sacred relics of the tribes of Israel,
members of the Armour family of Chi
cago are among the hackers Of the ex-
pedition and contributed their share of
the $300, ,00O which the operations of the
archeologists are said to have cost.
According to a Constantinople dispatch
to-day the eXcavators failed to find the
Ark of the Covenant or the seven
branched candlestick, the main objects
that they found Solomon's crown. his
sword, and his ring and an ancient man
uscript of the Bible.
The inhabitants of Palestine are de-
manding some compensation for the loss.
The Turkish government has sent high
officials to Jerusalem to conduct an in
vestigation, and 1t is not improbable that
the affair will assume an international
aspect and necessitate diplomatic atten-
ton before 1t is finally settled.
No light was thrown to-day on the
present whereabouts Of the offending
archaeologists or the exact nature of the
relics of which they despoiled the mosque
1t is known that the expedition left
Jaffa, Palestine, on Capt. Parkers yacht
on April 1s, but whether the yacht has
landed Its passengers and trophies. or is
still at sea is a mystery. The opinion
prevails here that the yacht is heading
for an English port.

George F.. Bowerman Favors Mu-
nfcipal Reference Department.
In order to provide for the collection
Of data on District affairs, George F.
Bowerman. librarian Of the Public IL
brary. and the board Of trustees have
recommended that a municipal reference
department Of the library be located at
the District Building.
The purpose Is to collect. classify, and
index the laws, ordinances, and reports
of other cities and States and all data
possible relating to municipal, social,
economic. or civil questions in the Dis
trict. One Of the functions Of the library
would be to aid in the drafting Of ordi-
nances and regulations.
The department would not only collect
information for the use Of the officials
but also for citizens, and its value to
city cannot be overestimated.

GIRLS ARE INJURED
IN A FIRE PANIC
Frightened Employees Crash
to Floor in Heaps.

New York, May 4.-Memories Of the
recent Washington place fire disaster,
coupled with excited screas Of fire from
persons on the street. caused a panic
late this afternoon in an old loft biuld-
ing at 54S and 54s Broadway.
Fourteen girls were cared for by sur
geons and two of them were taken to
hospitals. Not one of the fourteen was
seriously hurt.
Most Of the injured were pulled out
fro IMPLIES OF their fellowworkers. which
stacked up at two angles in the front
stairs.
Much of this trouble seems to have
heen caused by the breaking of the ban
listers between three floors, letting the
frightened girls drop over the edge of
the stairs upon those below them.
The basis Of the panic was a trifling
awning fire on one of the windows of the
first floor on the Crosby street side Of the
building

Washington, June 3.-Senator Will
liam Lorimer, whose election to the
senate is to be reinvestigated, today
requested that he be permitted to ap-
pear before the new investigating COM
mittee to testify In his own behalf.
The request was telegraphed to the
senate committee on privileges and
elections by Mr.. Lorimer, who is in
Chicago. The committee, it was said,
would be glad to hear him.
Mr.. Lorimer's telegram was as fol-
lows:
AT the former investigation MOTH
ing was charged against me PERSONAL
ly. Therefore there was nothing for
me to deny as q witness 1t is my
earnest desire to be permitted to tes-
tify before your committee so that /
can refute any charges thar may be
made or any suspicious that any one
may have as to the validity Of my
election"
The telegram had the effect of quiet
ing persistent rumors that the Illinois
senator would resign.
Seantor Dillingham;, chairman of the
committee, said that undoubtedly Mr..
Lorimer would be given the fullest op-
portunity to testify.
The telegram reached the commit
tee headquarters Immediately after the
adjournment of meeting at which the
Lorimer inquiry had been under con-
sideration. No action was taken to-
day, but another meeting was ordered
for Monday, when the question will
be taken up again.
The entire discussion today center
ed about a motion by Senator Kenyon
that the committee proceed as a whole
with the work. There were reminders
Of the tact agreeInent for a spciaI
committee to do the work and indica-
tons pointed to tne failure of the
Kenyon motion.
The members Of the committee gen.
orally express themselves as desirous
OF having the investigation conducted
in Washington to as greatLan extent
as possible.
During the meeting Senator DiIlfng-
ham expressed a desire to be relieved
from service on the proposed sub
committee and 1t is probable that
Senator Sutherland will be given the
place.
