bills of a large denomination. Finally
he was induced by stranger No. ! to in
vest in the stationery project, with
promises OF large profits.
Stranger No l then produced a cash
box and dropped in $3.50. Stranger No 2
Invested $4,000, and Bamas willingly con-
tributed $50.
Bamas was told to keep the box con-
tanning their money. Calling on a friend
who conducts a fruit stand at Seventh
and Z Streets Northwest. Bamas told of
his exploits. The box was opened, but
the money was missing. Substituted in
the box was a handful of blank paper
Seeing that he had been tricked, Bama
yesterday afternoon walked into police
headquarters and gave Detective Pratt.

scription OF the swindlers.

|MERCHANT IS TOACT
ON GEORGE REPORT
Chamber of Commerce Votes to
Refer Matter to Committee
for Examination.
LETTER FROM NEW YORK
REPRESENTATIVE IS READ
Plan to Replenish Conventions Fund
Is Adopted-Members Favor
Upkeep of the Work.

The report of Representative Henry
George, jr.. on assessments in the Dis
trict will be taken under close consid-
Grafton by the Chamber OF Commerce.
the directors of which last night in
structed its municipal legislation CON-
mittee. of which Chaplin Brown is chair
man, to examine and report upon it.
This action followed the reading Of a
letter from Representative George to the
president of the Chamber. Capt. James
F. Oyster, in which he said he had been
informed that a committee had been ap-
pointed from the Chamber to take up
the question of assessment and taxation
and perhaps the prospect of legislation
thereof. The letter, in part. reads:
To Send Reports.
LAS soon as you have made up your
committee will be glad TO send TO each
of them a copy of the report and the
hearings on assessment and taxation
that they may know what has been dis
covered and arrived at by the commit
tee. / am sure that IL your committee
represents the commercial interests of
Washir gton and not the mere exploiters
OF privilege, it will do good work.
Il have watched your own work as
president of the Board of Education with
the greatest OF interest. and have also
paid particular attention to your work
on the several juries Of condemnation
where lands were to be taken for public
use, and have yet to discover an in
stance in which you have not worked for
the good of the public"
A discussion of the work Of the Cham
ber's conventions committee followed a
report by its chairman, John Dolph, on
the work 1t has done and the money it
has expended. Mr.. Dolph suggested that
the trustees of the conventions fund con-
slider plans for its replenishment its
cash balance being but few hundred
dollars.
Would Raise Fund.
NJ. A. Leese moved that a fund be
raised D. ]. Callahan, a trustee OF the
fund, declared that the conventions COM
mittee as at present composed and in
previous times had done admirably. He
asserted that the fund ought to be kept
up. II. B. F. Macfarland, another trus-
tee, expressed the same opinion.
No greater opportunity confronts our
business men than that offered by the
conventions fund" said Mr.. Dolph.
The city of Washington could well at
ford TO pay a competent man So,UJ or
$1,000 a year to do the work that is
laid upon the convention committee. We
have not the time to do IL properly. The
convention plan ought to be worked up.
The directors passed a motion asking
President oyster to appoint committee
of five to discuss with the conventions
committee plans Tor maintaining the
conventions fund.
On motion OF George Y. worthington.
the directors adopted resolutions OF SYM
pathy for one Of their fellow-members
