In the hope of having telegraph Of
flee established at Rockville. the Rock
Vile town council has appointed Mayor
Lee Onutt ana councilman JOnn Brewer
to bring the matter to the attention Of
the public service commission. and they
will visit Baltimore within the near fu-
ture for that purpose.
Depend Upon Mails and Telephones.
For many years Rockville enjoyed the
convenience of the telegraph. but several
years ago the service was abolished, and
since then the town has had to worry
along with only the mails and telephone
as means of communicating with the out
side world. -
The abolition of the telegraph has
proved great Inconvenience to the peo-
pie of the community. and the demand
for its re-establishment is general. With
a single exception, Rockville is the only
county seat in Maryland without a tele-
graph Office.
AS the president Of the public service
commission is resident of Rockville. the
people of the community are hopeful
that the efforts of the town council to
have the service restored will be success
full.

W. c. 7. U. Acts After Hearing
Miss Stones Story of Cap
ture by Bandits.

Petitions bearing the sentiment of the
members of the w. C. T. U. of the Dis
trict Of Columbia are being prepared to-
day to forward to Congress in an effort
to have legislation passed to reimburse
the subscribers to the ransom fund which
liberated Ellen NJ. Stone. the American
missionary, who was held captive by
Macedonian bandits in 1900 and 1901. An
audience Of 1900 people adopted resolu-
tions favoring the passage Of this legis-
lation at a service in Wesley NJ. E..
Chapel, 9Th and F streets northwest. yes
terday afternoon. after listening for two
hours to Miss Stones interesting recital
Of her experiences while a captive in the
Macedonian mountains.
Miss Stones story Of her treatment by
the brigands was dramatic. She told
how she had seen another captive stabbed
to death by his captors, and her recital
OF how she spent the day on which she
thought her captors were going to put
her to death thoroughly aroused her audi
tors.
Ransom Totaled 100000.
She said that in all the time she was
In their hands she heard from the out
side world only twice, the first letter to
reach her bearing a message from Nine.
Bahkemeteff, wife of the Russian ambas-
sador in this city, and who was at that
time at Sophia, Bulgaria, where her hus-
band was at the head of the Russian Dip
lomatic service for that country.
Miss Stone said she ascribed her escape
from worse treatment to the fact that
Mrs. Zilka, the woman who was captured
with her, became a mother during the
captivity. The Macedonian superstition
regarding children and the harm that
would befall any one who injured a
mother or child was responsible, she said,
for the captive's escape from death or
other injury.
The money paid for Miss Stones ram
som amounted to $4,000, and was paid
by private subscription, because the
United States was unable to appropriate
that sum because of constitutional limi-
tation.

The debutante spring, chaperoned by
Queen Fashion. has arrived on a visit to
8. Kann. Sons & Co., where she will be
pleased to meet the women Of Washing
ton at her all-day receptions which began
this morning and will continue tomorrow
and Wednesday.
The brilliant assemblage of styles in the
millinery salon shows that New York.s
cardinal has furnished the spring with its
most distinguished color. Cardinal hats
Of every shape and braid; cardinal plumes
and flowers and ribbons and velvets fur
nish the fashion-fact that the season has
literally been painted red.
Ecclesiastic purple also asserts itself
In velvets. vfolets and pansies, and to
these cOlors are added such riot Of
bloom In every natural line that one
must believe that the stores buyers
gathered the blooms in Floras own gar
den rather than from the fashion centers
of Europe and this country.
Cardinal Straw Continental.
A cardinal straw continental has a side
pompon of white marabou rising from a
quilted rosette Of white ribbon. A modi-
fed tam, also Of cardinal straw, is trim
med with shaded red plumes and a plait-
eO rOSelte OF req r1DDOn VelVet. Large
picture hats. beplumed and garlanded,
are shown in every lovely style within,
and there is a remarkable showing of
tailored hats, notably in black and white
hemp and Milan, which give promise Of
becomingness to wearers of every age
and complexion: varying as they do from
the dashing picturesqueness demanded
by youth to the conventional lines re-
quired by maturer faces.
New Tailored Effects.
The suit salon is showing new tailored
effects in whipcord, mems wear serges
and other correct weaves, with a prefer
ence for such authoritative colors as navy,
wood browns and durable grays. Coats
are bit shorter with q tendency to
fancy-cut backs, many Of them decorated
in new ways with self-toned braids and
buttons. Skirt panels have shifted from
the front to the side and the waist line is
somewhat higher These stylish suits
have been reduced for the opening days.

tween the second and third floors Of

ing, started for home. When the eie-
yator stopped suddenly and would not

employe of the building at least heard
them and informed the police. Ser
geant OConneIl and Patrolman Rus
sell responded.

Judge Grain Would Lock Up
Witnesses Who Lied.

In sentencing Alfred Schultz to not less

General Sessions, said yesterday that he
believed. In this case as In many others,
the witnesses on both sides had not con-
fined themselves strictly 10 the truth. He
believed the evidence justified conviction,
however.
1T is regrettable," remarked Judge
Grain, that so many witnesses seem TO
be unmindful of the solemnity OF the
oath. II is equally regrettable that the
law is not effective to reach out and put
in cell those who deliberately lie on the
witness stand"

dict on the ground that George d. Bar
nitz. the detective who arrested Schultz
testified he had not been assigned to
Coney Island In seven years. Schultz
defence was that Barnitz placed the
blackjack in his pocket. Judge Grain
had Barnitz look up his assignments, and
the detective later reported he had been
there for three weeks in September. 1893.
