RECEPTION FOR WANDERER.
Ellis Returns TO TwininE City Ate.
Ten Years.

John F. Ellis, OF Twinins City, who
returned home Monday night after an
absence OF ten years. during which he
was thought dead, last night told the
impressions of a returned wanderer. He
said his experience reminded him of
Rip Van Wrinkles story. for though it
seemed but yesterday that he went away
as a high school boy. he found those
whom he had left as children now
grown persons. The little suburb, which
consisted IN few scattered houses when
he left. has grown into a well-built
town.
Besides serving three years as a SOL
dier in the Philippines. Mr.. Ellis has
wandered all over the West from Ne
braska to the Pacific Coast Neverthe-
less. he now finds Twining City very
pleasant. and will probably remain there
and go into business.
His return has created a great sensa-
ton in the little town. He is holding a
perpetual reception at his home. and on
the streets he is an object OF admira-
ton and wonder.

RAINFALL DID NOT COME.

c. Lombardy. trumperter in B Bat
tory, Third Field Artillery, OF Fort
Bliss Tex, agrees with Prof. Willis
Moore Of the Weather Bureau that rain
cannot be caused to fall by the firing Of
high explosives into the air as claimed
by a Texas farmer a few days ago.
Il have been in the Rocky Mountains
for fifteen days target practice" said
the trumpeter, "and during that time
We fired of enough guns to have
caused a cloud-burst II explosives fired
into the air will cause rain. but 1t did
not rain a single drop during those fif-
teen days"
Mr.. Lombardy also states that while
at Comfort, Tex, on June -, 1910. a
wealthy farmer expended s1.1O0 on powder
and other high explosives which he dis
charged into the air to cause rain, but
1t was a waste of money as no rain fell
He stated that he had seen twenty-four
three-inch guns fired for four hours at
a time and no rain fell.

TO ENLIST WOMEN
IN STAGE CRUSADE
Aloysius Truth Society Would Ask
Them to Sign .
Pledge.

The Aloyslus Truth Society has under
consideration plans for enlisting the
women Of Washington in vigorous
crusade against indecent and unwhoie-
some theatrical performances. Announce
ment 10 this effect was made last night
at Georgetown University.
An attempt will be made. with the
assistance Of the Holy Name Union OF
the District. to have all members Of the
Sodality Of the Blessed Virgin In every
parish pledge themselves TO remain away
from places OF amusement where the
standard Of morality is not Of the high
est type.
The Socialists throughout the city will
be requested to sign cards. reading az
follows:
II pledge myself to remain away from
all places of amusement where the
standard of morality is not Of the high
est. 1t is not necessary that take such
a pledge but I hope by so doing to in
fiuence others to attend only those
amusements which are wholesome and
unharmful.''
1t is believed that II the women Of the
city thus make clear their stand upon
the subject of theatrical performances
the booking houses and stage syndicates
will soon realize that the public disap-
proves OF immoral plays and will with

KELLEY PROPOSES
DIVIDING FUND
Chairman of Old Central Demo-
cratic Committee Has Way
to Solve Squabble.
COSTELLO OPPOSES THE PLAN

Unless the local courts are willing to
take up the quarrels Of the District
Democracy, the existing discord caused
by the three contendins factions will
continue indefinitely. -
J. Fred Kelley. chairman OF the old
Central Democratic Committee, has re-
fused to answer any Of the communica-
tions addressed to him by the Costello
Central Committee. demanding the prop
erty and funds Of the defunct organiza-
ton. Mr.. Kelley stoutly refuses to yield
up the possessions. 1t is understood that
he is in favor of solving the controversy
by proposing the redistribution Of the
funds on a pro rata basis to the dele
gates who paid In the fees.
The Costello committee Is opposed to
this plan, as 1t thinks that the entire
sum belongs to It. Consequently, II MT.
Kelley does propose the redistribution
plan. It will probably be rejected by the
Costello men.
Day of Grace Given.
Mr.. Kelley has been given by the Cos
tello committee until tomorrow to turn
over the funds and other belongings OF
the committee. A meeting will be held
tomorrow night in Building Trades Hall
TO decide upon future action in case Mr..
Kelley refuses to accede TO the demands.
An attempt to institute legal proceedings
will then be made There Is great doubt
as to whether the courts would take up
the matter, as the committee Is not in
corporated.
In such case there Will be nobody with
authority to decide which OF the three
central committees Is legalized and de-
serving of recognition. 1t is contended
by the Newmanites that the old National
Democratic Committee was the only body
which had authority in the matter. That
committee, they say. recognized the New
man committee. The Costello faction
presented no claims before It with respect
to their committee. The Newmanites
maintain that the convention had no au-
thority to recognize any central commit
tee, as such power was vested alone IN
the National Committee.
Now that the National Committee is out
of existence. there is no political tribunal
in a position to decide the contests. The
new National Committee has no turisdic-
tion. The three committees will conse-
quently continue to struggle along until
by the law of the survival of the fttest
one OF them outlives the others.
Mr.. Kelley absolutely refuses to discuss
the situation.
'.I have been eliminated" he said last
night. Therefore. It is not to be ex-
pected that / should do anything. They
told me in Baltimore that I was elimi-
mated from District Democracy once and
forever. l cannot understand then why ]
should be the center of all this dusturb-
ance."

SEARCH FOR BLACK Is FUTILE.
As.afInnt of Alexandria County
Woman Eyades Pursuing Posse.

The search for the black who Monday
morning attempted to assault Mrs.
Maude Hoffman, wife of Edward Hoff-
man. of Addison. Alexandria County.
was resumed yesterday morning by the
Sheriff OF Alexandria County. together
with the deputy sheriff and a number
Of constables. special officers. and others.
No trace of the black was found.
A colored man giving his name as
William Archer, who appeared at po-
Ice headquarters In Alexandra Monday
night, and made inquiries regarding the
case, and who was subsequently detained
fol investigation by Policeman Gill,
was taken into the county yesterday by
Constable James Burke. but he proved
that he was not the assailant OF the
woman and was released.
The opinion prevails among many resi-
dents Of the county that the guilty man
has made good his escape. The officers
of Alexandria County are still On the
alert, however.

BROKEN CRANE EXPENSIVE.
District Pays Cent? . Yard More
for Sand.

Until the hoisting drum Of the crane
at the District sand wharf. which was
recently broken. is repaired, the local
authorities will be required to pay an
additional amount Of I've cents on each
cubic yard Of material brought to the
city from down the Potomac.
As the crane is temporarily out Of
commission. It is impossible to place ad-
ditional material upon the wharf. The
present supply Of concrete sand Is only
about seventyfive yards, so the situation
is rather a serious one. Because OF the
Inadequate supply Of sand and gravel on
hand. 1t will be necessary to receive the
materials at the contractors wharf This
change will involve an additional cost
OF five cents per cubic yard.
Upon the recommendation OF NJ. C.
Hargrove. District purchasing officer, the
Commissioners yesterday authorized the
expenditure of additional funds TO meet
the eKigencies OF the case. The contract
prices for materials are as follows:
Building sand. s.3i5 per cubic yard: con-
crete sand, s5+5 per cubic yard: and
