Mr.. Weinstein called at police head
quarters this morning to complain to In
spector Boardman, chief of detectives.
He said he boarded the train at Atlanta,
Ga. He made no acquaintances and
spoke to no one. Occupying an upper
berth in the sleeper he retired late last
night. placing his sample case containing
between $4,000 and $4,000 worth Of dia-
mond rings, in the berth beside him.
Awakening about 1 o'clock this MORN
ing when the train stopped at Lynch
burg. Va. the case was still in perfect
condition. When the train pulled into the
ing he discovered that the sample case
had been cut open on the side and a
small tray containing forty-five rings
abstracted.

today, Weinstein said:
II left Atlanta at 1915 o'clock Thurs
day morning. The jewelry, consisting OF
between $4,000 and $4,000 worth of dia-
mond rings, I had in a sample case
which kept in my berth.
"This morning I retired to my berth
about 1:20 o'clock. The berth was an
upper I placed the sample case con-
tanning the diamonds in the berth at
my feet. 1t was all right. then. of
course. When I awoke, as the train
pulled into the station in Washington,

found the sample case had been cut
open with a sharp knife, and smaller
case, containing the forty-five diamond
rings, worth about $4,000, had been
stolen.
IT have not the remotest idea who could
have taken it.
The robbery was reported to the Pull

Mr.. Graham Brands Mr.,
Mann's Charge as False.
BITTER DEBATE ENSUES
Democrat Accused of Telling Woman
Lobbyist Not to Return a Fee.
INDIAN WANTED MONEY BACK
Mrs. Gray Said to Be Employed by
Committee and Also Pri-
vate Attorney.

The lie was passed on the floor of the
House today, when Representative
Graham of Illinois, chairman Of the
committee on Interior Department ex-
penditures. branded as absolutely
and unqualifiedly false" the statement
made yesterday by Mr.. Mann of Illinois
the minority leader. that Mr.. Graham
had told Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray. termed
woman lobbyist, not to return fee
protested by an Indian client.
The ensuing debate was intense anC
bitter. Mr.. Mann finally demanded
that Mr.. Graham explain the connec'
tion of Mrs. Gray with the committee
or that the committee should be made
the subject of investigation.
Calls It Forgery.
Characterizing the affidavit that Rep.
'resentative Mann of Illinois read yester-
day afternoon regarding Mrs. Gray as
either a forgery or an entire misSta te-
ment, Representative Graham declared
he could only characterize the affidavit
by 1.-The shortest and ugliest word 1 can
find"
The affidavit in question is that whicl
Mr.. Mann used in charging that Mrs
Gray is both an employee of the commit
tee on expenditures in the Interior De
partment and also a private attorney
juggling one job against the other, ant
was printed in the Record this morning.
Il call on the gentlemen from Illinois
to produce that affidavit if there is such
a thing said Mr.. Graham, with vehe
mence. His democratic friends applaud
ed him. and he continued:
And 1 say If 1t should be produced /,
is absolutely false. The affidant is mis-
taken, or the whole thing looks like q
forgery"
Mann Makes Reply.
Representative Mann was not on the
floor when Mr.. Graham started to
talk. but he walked slowly and calmly
to his seat in the midst of Representa-
tive Graham's denunciation. At the
proper time he arose with a bunch of
papers in his hands. He said he bas ed
his information on what an Indian
named Denomene had told him.
He said the Indian had given Mrs. Gray
a check for 500, and then when he
thought he ought to have it back again
for one reason or another the Indian said
that MRS. Gray had told him that she
need not give back the money and that
the chairman of the committee of ex-
penses in the Interior Department had
told her not to refund the amount.
Representative Graham wanted to know
If that was all, and Mr.. MannIsaid:
Il understand that in a conversation
with the cashier of the Second Nationa
Bank of this city Mrs. Gray made the
same statement"
This Indian also said, Mr. Mann de.
clared, that he went to Mrs. Gray, and
that she scolded him for asking fol
money back. and said she had been ad
vised by her superior officer not to return
the check.
Representative Graham continued tt
deny strenuously that Mrs. Gray is in tho
employ of the committee. Mr.. Mann con.
tinued to charge that she is. Represent
ative Graham said his committee had
paid no public money to any one to ac
as an attorney.
