CLEVER SWINDLER NETS $40.
Police Seeking Suave, Stranger Who
Fleeced Fruit Stand Owner.

The police are looking for a stranger
who obtained SO by a clever swindle
from Tones Lothas, proprietor Of a fruit
stand at 1411 New York avenue north
west.
Lothas told Detective Springman that
a man between thirty-three and thirty
five years Old called at his stand last
Saturday night and asked for the loan
of SIS to secure a telegram AT a nearby
office. Lothas refused the request The
man thereupon declared that Lothas
ought to know him, as he said he is en-
ployed at a nearby hardware store. To
show Lothas that he was acting in good
faith the man took the fruit dealer to
the designated store and unlocked the
front door.
Believing that the man was telling him
the truth. Lothas thereupon said lie
would loan him the money. The stranger
then asked for a loan of SO. He was
given the money and said he would re-
turn within a short time. He never
came back.
Inquiry at the hardware store revealed
that no such person as described by the
fruit dealer was employed there. The
police throughout the District have been
given a description Of the man.

Roosevelt's Billingsgate.


I was much impressed by your excel
lent editorial in Tuesdays paper on "A
Shameful Spectacle wherein you dis
cussed the alleged statement Of Theodore
Roosevelt al Joplin. Mo-: amy man who
supports the receiver of stolen goods
stands on a level with the receiver of
the stolen goods. He is a dishonest man
and is unfit to associate with honest
men," That Mr.. Roosevelt could have
made this statement is almost beyond
belief
Senator Root, the chairman of the con-
vention that Roosevelt alleges stole tho
goods the nomination for President Taft,
was for years, and up to the time he
failed to support Mr.. Roosevelt, his trust
ed friend and adviser. Mr.. Roosevelt
once said that Senator Root was the
ablest and best equipped man of his gen
Grafton. The senator is supporting Pres
ident Taft.
Senator Henry Cabot. Lodge. who is
now supporting President Taft, is, l
think, universally recognized as man OF
flaWless character and life and without
a peer in his generation as a scholar and
statesman. Up to the time that the re-
publican convention nominated Mr.. Taft
he remained neutral, refusing to take
part as between the latter and Mr.. Roose-
velt with whom he had been upon terms
of closest friendship and intimacy for
years. 1t may be said that he was Mr..
Roosevelt's spokesman in the Senate
while the latter was President. That any
man in his sober senses would indulge in
such billngsgate and BOwery language
in referring to the President of the
United States, much less to his former
friends, Senator's Root and Lodge. seems
unthinkable. Was Mr.. Roosevelt correct
ly quoted? s. V. HAYDEN.

NEW STYLE IN DESKS

Have Swinging Tables At
tached to Movable Chairs.

something new in school chairs and
desks for the little boys and girls will
be seen when the James Ormond Wilson
School opens at 18th and Harvard
streets. This school is to be the home
of the present Normal School No 1, and
will contain features Of school arrange
ment, equipment and architecture which
will make it unique. The desks in ques-
ton are for what are now known as
''critic schools They are small, solidly
built, movable little chairs. something
after the design of craftsman" furni-
ture. equipped with a little table, which
swings around in front or at the side
of the chair. A drawer is placed under
the seat of the chair, and there the
Child can keep his lead pencils and cake

preside over the James Ormond Wilson

The critic schools as they are now
called are the old practice schools =
the first through the third and in them

The children in these schools have the
benefit of the best talent in the school
system, and the James Ormond Wilson
School will have several rooms devoted to
classes of this sort.
School enrolment is not completed. De-
tailed figures from school buildings are
expected this afternoon. and some idea of
how the new tuition law will affect the
attendance in Georgetown, Chevy Chase,
Takoma and other outlying schools will
be gained.

ANACosT1A.

Citizens of AnacOstia are discussing
the failure of certain owners of prop
erty along the Anacostia shore line of
the Eastern branch to donate strip
of this land to the government in or
der that the work of reclaiming the
flats might progress without Interrupt
ton, and an earnest effort will be
made to induce these men to change
their minds or to find some other solu-
ten Of the problem. To date there
about S23O,000 for the work in project
NJ 2, which includes that portion be-
tween the Anacostia and Pennsylvania
avenue bridges, and but little of it has
been expended. owing to the position
taken by some of the land owners.
The land on the city side between these
two bridges, it is understood, has Decn

Etacta Chapter. No. 2. order OF the
Eastern Star, Of Anacostia, met last
evening in Masonic Hall. Mrs. Frances
Gurnsey. worthy matron, occupied the
chair and gave the degree work, as

presented and others acted upon.
Members of Anacostia Council, No. 16

Masonic Hall. The smoker which fol-
lowed the business session. had teen

good Of ne-Grder committee, with
Irving S. Hall as chairman. During
the meeting there was initiatOry work
and new applications presented for con-
sideration. The order is working. to
bring it's membership up to 800 and

The good Of the order committee re-
ported that it had arranged for a num-
Der of special meetings during the
winter months.
The Junior Brotherhood of ST An
drew of Emmanuel Episcopal Church
held a meeting last evening in the
parish hall in V street the first fol-

An effort is to be made by the citi-
Zens' association Of Anacostia to ascer-
tain just what the Commissioners in
tend to do with Forts Davis and Du-
pont, when they are purchased, ac-
cording to the action of the last session
of Congress, for the purpose OF con-
verting them into parks.
In it's campaign. to induce the Capital
Traction Company to extend it's line
to Anacosti3 the citizens have ascer-
tanned one fact that will assist them
in this regard. Upon investigation at
the District building it has been found
that the Commissioners in their outline
Of future railroad extensions within
the District have included this extern
sion exactly as the citizens desire it
to be made. This being the case. the
Anacostians feel that their efforts
will be largely assisted.

TRY TO END WAGE TROUBLE.
Efforts to Adjust Difficulty Be
tween Railroads and Men.

Presiding Judge Martin A Knapp OF
the Commerce Court and DR.. Charles F.
Neill commissioner Of labor, are again AT
work today endeavoring TO adjust the
controversy over wages between the
twelve railroads operating in the south
eastern section of the country and the
1000 trainmen and conductors employed
by them.
The mediators Yesterday heard both the
Representatives of the railroads and of
the employees. At 10 O'Clock this morning
the hearings were resumed.
1t probably will be several days before
the mediation proceedings are brought to
a close. That the mediators will be un-
successful in bringing about an amicable
settlement of the differences is now re-
Earded as extremely probable. Those con-
versant with the situation say that it
appears likely that the wage problem will
have to be submitted to an arbitration
board.

Thistle. one of the smaller boats in the
fifth lighthouse district fleet, was sold at
public auction at Baltimore yesterday.

to the purchasers, who will have her
overhauled and made ready for CONNER
