REFUSES TO PRESS
! ROBBERY CHARGES
Too Much Notoriety, Says
Fortier, for Wanting to
Drop Case.

Alexander G. Fortier, clerk in the
Interstate Commerce Commission, who
reported that he was held up and
robbed of 81 within the shadow of Po-
lice Headquarters early yesterday
morning, refused this afternoon to visit
the First precinct and look at two
negroes who were arrested on suspicion
that they might have some knowledge
OF the affair.
Captain Hollinberger Immediately or
dered the prisoners, Thomas Minor and
Fred Perkins, released.
1t was not until this afternoon that
the police succeeded in getting in COM
munication with Fortier, after he made
the report at headquarters Yesterday.
The address he gave. 1904 L street
northwest. proved to be a vacant house.
He told the police he was tired of the
notoriety the affair had gained, and
wished the investigation dropped. He
said he would not prosecute the high
waymen If they were caught.
Fortier was held up and robbed of his
watch under similar circumstances in
Fifteenth street northwest about two
years ago. The thieves were arrested in
connection with another case, and his
watch recovered.

they were following him for some dire

ATTEMPT TO DELAY
LOR|hER CASE FAILS
Skirmish In Senate Results
In Matter Being
Taken Up.

After a skirmish in the Senate this
afternoon resulting from an attempt to
delay consideration of the Lorimer case
the Senate voted to take 1t up at 1:30
and Senator Crawford of South Dakota
proceeded to speak against Senator
Lorimer.
Senator Burrows asked unanimous
consent to take up the Lorimer case
after the routine morning business.
Senator Cummings objected and urged
that the tariff commission bill be taken
up. Senator Burrows then moved to
take I'D the Lorimer case.
On this Senator Cummins demanded
a roll call. The Senate by Sc to Il de-
cided to take the Lorimer matter up
Immediately. Had Senator Burrows
not made his motion the Lorimer reso-
luton being the unfinished business of
the Senate would have come up at 2
o'clock.
The vote on Senator Burrows motion
was In no sense a test of sentiment on
the question of ousting Lorimer SEN
ator Bevertdge himself, who is leading
the fight against Lorimer, voted in favor
OF Senator Burrows motion. Senator
Cummins action in objecting to the
Lorimer resolution, however, points to
disposition to delay a vote on the
Lorimer case, which may possibly throw
1t over to the extra session.
1t is generally believed, however, that
Senator Lorimer's case will be settled
about the middle of this week. He will
probably be allowed TO retain his seat
Senator Stone gave notice this afternoon
that he would speak Wednesday,
Senator Crawford of South Dakota,
in speaking of the LOrimer case this
afternoon. defended Governor Deneen,
OF Illinois, from the attacks made upon
him by Senator Lorimer

The action of the House today finally
disDCSes of the legislative. executive,
and judicial appropriation bill. The item
increasing the secretarys salary was
the only one about which any serious
disa agreement Centered.
The House also today agreed to the
Senate amendment for the appropriation

URGING PROTECTION
FOR NIAGARA FALLS.
Conference Held At White
House-Present Law Ex-
pires June 20.

The President today held a conference
with Senators Burton and Root, Repre-
sentative Alexander of New York and j.
Board Scovell of Buffalo, N. Y, in the
hope of devising some means of further
protecting Niagara Falls from depreda-
tions by excessive drainage.
1t seems that the present law regulat-
ing the amount of water which may be
taken from the stream expires on June
% and that unless something is done, no
restrictions will be in effect to prevent
unlimited use of the water. This caused
Governor Dix of New York to send Mr..
Scovell to see the President. The PAsi-
dent called in the two Senators and Mr..
Alexander.
Tentative Program.
1t was agreed that a tentative pro-
gram for legislation would be drawn
up this afternoon and submitted to the
President If this can be put through
this Congress it will probably be sent
to the Capitol with a special message.
If not, then the State of New York will
be looked to to enact legisla ton for the
protection of the falls.
Representative Weeks of Massachu-
setts today talked with the President
about ship subsidy legislation, and they
agreed that there was little or no chance
for the Gallinger bill to get through the
House. He said that the appropriation
bills and the other legislation more
pressing would consume the time of the
House until adjournment.
Appointment Urged.
The appointment of DR.. John South,
of Frankford, Ky, as one of the Gov
ernment commissioners to the San
Francisco Exposition was urged upon
the President today by Representative
Stanley of Kentucky.
Senator Bradley of Kentucky came to
the White House today to say that he
was in trouble. 1t seems the report
started out in his State that he was
opposed to reciprocity, and that he was
nghting it in the Senate. AS a resuI,
hundreds of letters and kilograms have
been received by him urging him to get
on the right side. He said today tina
he was for the Mccall bill, and had
been all along.

James R. Garner Found
Dead Just Before Sisters
Funeral.
WELL-KNOWN BUILDER
DROPS DEAD IN ROOM
George H. Turton Was Apparently
In Best of
Health.

DEATH, unexpected, visited two Wash
ington homes today. In one instance 1t
was the second loss of a child to a
mother within few days. A daughter
of Mrs Mary Garner, of Southwest
Washington, died on Saturday after a
long illness.
The girls body lay in the 'parlor of
the home awaiting burial. The mother.
on going to the room of her son, James
r. Garner, to awaken him, found him
cold in death.
The second death to accur this morn
ing was that of George II. Turton, one
Of Wdshington's oldest residents. The
visit of death to the Turton home, at
1909 K street northwest was an un-
expected blow to his relatives as he had
not been i'll in several years. Yesterday
he appeared to have been i'm the best of
health and spirits.
Found Dead in Bed.
While final arrangements were being
made for the funeral of his sister, Miss
Mamie Weaver Garner, whose body lay
in a casket in room on the first floor.
James r. Garner was found dead in
bed shortly before 9 o'clock this morn
ing at his home, 100 Sixth street south
west.
Garner had been in ill health for
some time. but his condition was not con-
SiGered serious and he had not been un-
der the care of a physician. Mrs. Mary
Garner. the mother, who conducts
boarding house, went into the room this
morning where the body Of her daugh-
Ter lay. She then went upstairs to call
her son for breakfast. hut failed to
get response to repeated rappings on
the door. When she entered the room
she found her son dead in bed.
May Postpone Funeral.
A physician who was summoned said
that the man had died during the early
part of the night. The funeral of Miss
Garner was to have been held at
O'Clock this afternoon from the resi-
denCe. 1t is probable, however, that the
services will be postponed until tomor-
row, when the bodies of the brother
and sister will be buried side by side
at the same time.
Overcome with grief because Of the
death Of her daughter, whom she hal
nurSed through a long illness, and pros
trated by the dOublr affliCtion which
had fallen on her household, Mrs Gar
ner became hysteriCal, and is unable to
leave her bed.
Turton'S Death.
George II. Turton dropped dead at his
home, 1909 street, at O'Clock this
morning. Apparently in the best OF
health last night when he retired, Mr..
Turtons death came without warning.
1Ie had arisen for drink of water when
he dropped dead.
