ALLEGED ROBBERS
SPOUSE IS. NABBED
Police Hold Woman in Case
Against Epps.

Martha Epps, wife Of the negro who
went suddenly insane about two weeks
ago while a prisoner at the Fourth
precinct station on a charge or having
brutally assaulted and robbed Mr.. and
Mrs. John McClintock, an aged couple
of Annandale, Fairfax County, Va, was
arrested yesterday afternoon. While
no specific charge is lodged against the
woman, the police arr holding her in
anticipation that she may be able to tell
them something about the assault and
robbery.
When the negro charged with the crime
was arrested the police subjected the
woman now in custody to severe, cross
questioning regarding the disposal her
husband had made of the 500 which he
is alleged to have taken from the Nc
Clintocks. 1t was intimated by the po-
lice at the time that the negress knew
where the money was hidden.
That the woman has again been taken
into custody after nearly three weeks
have elapsed makes 1t evident that the
detectives have learned something new
regarding the case. She was brought
from her cell to police headquarters
seveSal times last night and each time
refused to make any statement.

industrial schools, and suggesting a
remedy for the negro problem, should
still be on a basis neCessitating the beg
ging by such men as you see before me
for money enough TO run II from year to
year. We have lots Of milliOnaires in
this country, and why cannot the con-
tributiOns be sufficiently large to put
such an institution as Hampton on a
basis THAT shall be self-supporting?
Northern generosity and donation with
reference to Southern education and the
education Of the negro. have. of course,
their fruits, and I don't want in any way
10 diminish the desire of those who wish
TO give. But those Of US who study the
question at all know that the hope OF
the negro is in his white neighbor in the
South"

MRS. DENNIS CASE
AROUSES PYTHIANS
Chancellor Bassett Denies
Widow Was Neglected.

Indignant because criticism has been
hurled at the knights of Pythias for
having allowed Mrs. Minnie Dennis to
arrive in Washington with her six little
children in destitute condition, Grand
Chancellor Samuel NJ. Bassett last night
brought to light new facts which ma
teriaIly changes the situation.
We ave driven TO tell the facts of the
case because of the false statements
made in the newspapers" said Mr.. Bas-
sett last night After the death of her
husband the local lodge gave Mrs. Dennis
post-offiCe money order for $40 to de-
fray her expenses pending the time OF
leaving for the United States. The lodge
again gave Mrs. Dennis another post
office order for s65 and $4C in cash, the
latter to be used in paying her expenses
en- route to Washington.
Mrs. Dennis must still have the post
office order for S5, as she told me when
first I visited her that II had not been
Cashed. After her arrival in Washing
ton the local lodge donated 80 additional
TO the widow.
Melted Woman S1,O5O.
The fact that the benefit performance
in the Canal Zone. held under auspices
of the knights of Pythas for the stricken
women. netted $1,O5O. was made public last
night by Mr.. Bassett. He said that the
funds were to be placed in the hands
of Judge W. w. Warck, former auditor
of the Canal Zone, for the purpose of
investing the sum in a small home for the
widow and her children in the suburbs of
Washington Already Judge Warick who
has received communications from the
lodge in Canal Zone TO that effect, has
been looking over the ground for the pur-
pose of choosing a suitable place to pur-
chase the home.
Mr.. Basset said that the check which
Mrs. Dennis saw presented TO the purser
of the steamer, and which he had re-
fused to take custody of, will be mailed
with certain papers Of Lieut.. Dennis to
Judge Warick
VIII Seek New Home.
A committee of women was appointed
by the knights of Pythias last night to
visit Mrs Dennis, with a view to seeking
a new home for her. They will locate
Mrs. Dennis in a small apartment until
the home is purchased.
Mrs. Dennis is still at the Confederate
Memorial Home. No response has been
made to the appeal to the Board of
Charities for help. Friday she and her
six children must leave the institution
because of lack of room.
Violet Dennis one of the children,
is in Providence Hospital. suffering from
spinal trouble. Virginia, another one of
the children, who is at the same institu-
tion was operated on Monday for an af-
fecton of the throat, and is now rapidly
recovering.
One of the Dennis boys is spending a
week at the home of Mrs. lie Roy, in
Berwyn. Md Mrs. lie Roy called at the
Confedrate Memorial Home last Thurs
day and asked permission to take the
