MISSION JUBILEE
ENDS WITH RALLY
Washington Committee Says
Results of Session Are
Most Satisfactory.

After an arduous campaign which
began in the early part OF December
and ended late last night, the Washing ng-
ton Women's missionary jubilee commit
tee say today that all the effort ex-
pended in arranging for the two days
rally has been well rewarded.
The women's missionary movement
in all churches has received an i'm
petus they say. which will be felt for
years to come; the natural bond be-
tween American women and the women
of benighted lands has been strength
ened; missionaries who have been IN
this country temporarily feel the sup
port of their American sisters more than
ever. and a sum in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 has been raised for the Foreign
work.
A monster rally last night in Con-
tinental Hail of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, at which about
1000 women were present, was the
close Of the jubilee. Mrs. Henry w:
Peabody, Miss Jennie v. Hughes, and
Mrs. Helen Barrett Montgomery were
the speakers and Mrs. Wallace Rad
cliffe presided.
At p. IN. Mrs. John r. Mclean re-
ceived in honor of Mrs. Montgomery
and Mrs. Peabody at her home. The
children's story hour was at O'Clock
in the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. Six missionaries told kinder
garten stories of faraway lands to the
hundreds of children present.
This morning similar jubilee begins
in Richmond, and from there the "ju-
bilee troupe" will go to Baltimore.

TO DATE, POPULAR
Well-Known Vocalists Take
Leading Parts in House

With her verses revised and her
rhymes rearranged, Mother Goose won
new favor from both grown-ups and
youngsters when she appeared at the
Columbia Theater in The House That

federayc.
Mrs. Jessie !. Gaynor. a welEknown
childrens song writer, has given this
opera some Of her catchiest melodies.
and Alice c. D. Riley, we'll known
through her verses for children, has
woven a clever story around old nursery
rhymes. Miss Margaret Martin directed
the production, and scores of talented
children and grown folks took the char
acters.
The principal character. that of Moth
or Goose, was taken by Mrs. Ethel
Holtzclaw Gawler well known in Wash
ington musical circles. Earl Carbauh,
soloist at the Fourth Presbyterian
Church here, made an excellent King
Cole. Mrs. Howell Smith was Queen of
Hearts, and Robert A. Jonscher, tenor
soloist at the Luther Memorial Church,
admirably acted the Knave OF Hearts.
Miss Ruby Raymond appeared as Jack,
son of Mother Goose. Kitty Tenant,
Anne Elliott Pennybaker. and Lulu
Williams Simms formed a trio of char
acters around which interest centers
throughout the production. Little Miss
Sadie May Lipp and Miss Dorothy Boyd.
as pages to the King and Queen, re-
spectively, and the Misses Nell and
Louise Fletcher, Alma Myers, Dorothy
Smallwood, Augusta Magruder. and
Eliza beth HeitmuIler. as maids of honor
to the Queen, formed an ideal court
which carries one back to the good old
days of the Flowing Bowl and Fiddlers
Three.
All the favorite characters were there,
each perfect in his or her part, most of
the little ladies coming from Miss
Shreeve's dancing classes and the young
masters from Mr.. Freeman's choir, of
st. Johns Episcopal Church.

REAMEY APPOINTED
WHALEN'SSUCCESSOR
Deputy Sheriff Who Con-
fessed to Moncure AS
sault Resigns.

Chris Reamey, OF Rockville. was today
appointed to fill the position Of chief of
the deputy sheriffs of Montgomery
county. Nd, left vacant when the coun-
ty commissioners demanded the resigna-
tion Of Peyton Whalen, who confessed
on the witness stand to attacking and
beating Attorney r. c. L. Moncure, of
East Falls Church, Va. Whalen. who,
with his brother. Joseph, and Joshua
Ofutt, are under bail Of 81, 900 each to
face the grand jury on charges Of as
sault with intent to murder and at
tempt to MAIN, today turned over the
gold badge Of his office to Sheriff Viett.
The resignation of Peyton Whalen,
whose statement that he was the only
one of the three who was guilty Of the
attack on Moncure, was disregarded.
was demanded by the county commits
sioners following insistent demands OF
Rockville citizens that he be relieved OF
his duties.
The county commissioners said today
that alleged charges against Sheriff
Welt that he did not act promptly
enough in arresting the assailants Of
Moncure, had been investigated by
them. Sheriff Viett was in the court
room at the time the attack occurred"
said a member of the board today. ''an1
he went directly to the scene of action
as soon as he was told of 1t. He is to
be commended for arrestlng his own
chief deputies because the latter had
done wrong. It was a delicate position
to be put in and Viett's conduct is to
be approved"

BLOODHOUNDS BRING
HOME THE BACON
Sheriff Viett's Dogs Find
Stolen Porker on First
Tryout.

Those two bloodhounds Of Sheriff
Viett, out Rockville way, have brought
home the bacon"
This is no attempt at slang. either, for
"Sic'em" and "Eat'em'' trailed a stolen
porker on their first tryout, indicated
their purchase, and gave lots of unkind
people a chance to say that Sheriff
Welt rubbed their noses with bacon
before he started them out, and that
anyway its a poor dog that can't fol-
low pigs trail.
But the sheriff is satisfied. The own
er of the pig Is satisfied. And the ma
jority of the residents of Rockville are
satisfied.
Farmer Buzzard, who resides Just out
side Of Rockville, yesterday morning re-
ported that an unidentified negro had
broken into his pig pen and, carefully
gagging his prize pig so the squeals
could not arouse the owner. carted the
rorker OF.
The first intimation Farmer Buzzard
had that the pride of his pigpen had
to serve the pigs breakfast, about 6
o'clock in the morning. There was NO
clue that even a Sherlock Holmes or a
Lecoq could follow. Farmer Buzzard
was in a quandary. Then he suddenly
bethought himself of Sheriff Viett's
bloodhounds.
The dogs were put on the trail. after
pigpen. Within an hour the dogs had
run down their quarry at his cabin in
the woods, and the bacon on the hoof
was taken back to its rightful owner.

PRISONER IS KILLED
At THE WORKHOUSE
Another Probably Fatally
Hurt While Telling Trees
at Occoquan.

While Telling trees on the workhouse
reservation at OccoQuan, a prisoner, Au-
gust EXtron, fifty-eight years old, was
killed and another, John Hill, colored,
forty years old, probably fatally in
jured. A report of the accident, which
occurred yesterday afternoon was sub
mitted by Superintendent Whitaker to
the Commissioners today. With a band
of prisoners the men were engaged in
clearing a forty-acre tract which is to
be used for garden purposes.
The men, according to Superintendent
Whitaker, were standing in direct line
with one of the trees, having miscalcu-
lated the direction in which II was to
fall. EXtron received a fracture of the
skull and died two hours later. Hill
was put on a train and sent immedi-
ately to the Washington Asylum Hos
pitaL Physicians said this morning they
fear he has dislocation of the spine His
chances of recovery, 1t is said, are
slight.
Body Awaits Friends.
Extron was born in Sweden and had
been In this country forty-two years.
His occupation was given as a clerk and
his residence in this city at the Central
Union Mission. He was serving a SEN
tence of $50 days on the charge Of
repeated drunkenness. Unless his body is
claimed by friends, he will be buried on
the workhouse reservation.
Hill gives his address as 1923 Q treet
northwest. He told Superintendent
Whitaker that he is without friends in
this city and will be cared for by the
District authorities. The negro was SEN
fenced to the workhouse December 20
for sixty days.
Jail Breakers Punished.
The six negroes, who on Thursday es-
capped from the workhouse, are under
going a severe punishment and are
facing a sentence in the penitentiary.
The men have been placed on a diet
of ten ounces of bread a day, and wat
er, and are shackled to a post during
working hours. The period of punish
ment. according to Superintendent
Whitaker, is indefinite, and will be
continued until they give evidence of
thorough subjection. Superintendent
Whitaker has placed the case before
the Virginia authorities, and If he can
do so under the Virginia code, will
prosecute the men for Jail breaking.
