Everything about the Chateau de Per-

Stiiled were the clinking glasses. be-
cause 1t was the Sabbath day. The
hearty chanting OF THE Marseilles." as
only the count could chant 1t, was not
waited out into Thirteenth Street from
the chateau windows as In the past.

Another man. Frank Dougherty. is be-
ing sought.
ing the coroner's inquest at u:0 o'clock
tc-Worrow morning.
Talked Freely, Says Police.
The police said last night that the
men had talked freely about Coles
death. The story gathered from the
statements Of tie men, the police say,
is that Cole, with whom the men are al
legged to have been drinking in Grace
land Cemetery, Northeast, was lured out
Benning Road and attacked in order to
frighten him.
The police say Cole was attacked with
heavy palings torn from a fence by the
roadside and also with a knife. Cole Is
said TO have cried for help, but his
cries. which a colorcd man named Har-
ris says he heard. were unavaIling.
The men held in custody differ, the po-
lice say. They deny that any one used a
knife. although Coroner hewitt stated
after performing an autopsy on Coles
body yesterday that he had been cut on
the leg and upper lip with a knife.
Two dollars according to the police,
was all the money that Cole had. 1t Is
believed that In order 10 have company.
he pretended to have a considerable
amount of money on his person.
Coles body was found about i:i5 o'clock
yesterday morning by Henry Schafer. of
Hillbrook. u. C.. who notified the police.
II was at first believed that Cole had
been struck and killed by an electric
car. The autopsy performed at the
morgue. however. led the coroner to be-

WOULD MAKE FORT
NATIONAL PARK
D. A. r. Up in Arms Over Proposed
Abandonment of Historic Fort
McHenry.

Current rumors that Fort McHenry.
at Baltimore. is to be abandoned as an
army post. have caused deep concern
among patriotic societies. Its defensive
utility is at an end, but they believe
that 1t should be preserved because Of
its historical associations. and especially
as the place where the Star Spangled
Banner" was written by Francis Scott
Key.
Mrs. Robert G. Hogan. regent of the
Daughters OF the American Revolution
in Maryland, has written TO Congress
man j. Charles Linthicum, requesting
him to do all in his power for the pres
crvation OF the old fort. She suggests
that it be made into a national park. to
be kept up by the government.
Local members of the d. a. r are
deeply concerned in the conservation of
history entities 1t 20 the care Of the
nation.
Mrs. Mary s. lockwood, State Regent
for the District. and honorary vice pres
iGent general of the ID. A. r., gave ex
preston to the feeling OF the society
last night. She stated that the outward
symbols remaining to country OF

LAST AsT0R DEBT
TO SWELL FUND
Dollar Lost in Bridge Game on the
Titanic Few Hours Before
Boat Went Down.
MRS. FORBES WAS THE WINNER

The last debt paid by Col. John Jacob
Astor, one of the most famous victims OF
the Titanic disaster. will help to build
the great memorial in Washington to the
men who died in the Inflated White Star
liner.
Mrs. Archibald Forbes, well-known
New York social leader, is the woman to
whom the debt was paid. and she has
forwarded to the Offices of the Woman's
Titanic Memorial In this city the dollar
bill that was handed to her by Col AS
tor when the party of which they were
members settled up for the last bridge
game played in the social saloon before
the onrushing Titanic plunged to her
doom.
Mrs. Forbes letter. which was for
warded to Mrs. John Hays Hammond by
Mrs Thomas ]. O'Brien, wife OF the
American Ambassador at Rome, sets
forth the fact that the inclosed dollar
represents the only money she has ever
won at cards. She adds that when Col.
Astor handed over the crisp piece Of pa
per he made some jesting remark about
the luck of beginners. Mrs. Forbes luck
held, for a few hours later she was afoat
in a lifeboat. while Col Astor and the
other gentlemen of the party had paid

count used to say, when asked how he
would celebrate the independence day Of
France:
"oh, eet will be re grande time" +.
The Continental Sunday has about as
much chance in Washington as the
count would have had In the Marathon
yesterday. and SO the only way the head

the day was to sip little green stun.

But all the time the tricolor fioated In
the breeze from the easement Of the
cafe.
The count could not have a public
party, and SO he had none. It was
bad day for France.
And then to add to his discontinue the
rain drenched the nag Of dear old
France. And the count. looking from
his window. as the rain fell. let his
thoughts revert to the vine-clad hills OF
old France.
And the rain. falling harder and hard
er, even did not spare In its torrential
wrath the statues of the Marquis de La

About 100 entries were received. and
the walk took place on Whit Monday.
Much excitement prevailed. and a great
cheer rose as a local pedestrian was
seen leading the rest of the crowd. His
meat pie was soon eaten as he walked
round the stone. and he went to the
judge for the $50.

and the remainder are corporations. The
boards of directors Of the four named
companies are self-perpetuating bodies.
and, being in control, 1t would prove a
very difficult matter for shareholders to
remove them. II is pointed out in the
decision the relationship between the
railroads and the express companies, and
in this connection 1t is stated:
Express Companies Helpless.
THE railroads, apparently dominating as
they do all the express companies either
through stock ownership or through in
terlocking directors. have the express
companies absolutely helpless whenever
the latter desire to renew an expired
contract or to make a new one. The
result may readily be seen when the
between the companies which
are now effective are compared with
those made thirty years ago. Such a
comparison will show that the importa mt
railroads now receive an increased re-
of about 81 IL per cent due
to an increase in basis of payment in
addition to sharing in the receipts from
an enormously increased volume of busi-
ness
The report shows that of the 47.91C
shares of stock of the American Express
Company, the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad owns 10000. and
OF the 1,0l0 shares of the Great Northern
Express Company, James ]. Hill owns
$50. OF the 4s. .4S7 shares OF the Southern
Express Company. NJ. +. Plant owns
more than 5000 shares.
Commissioner Franklin X. Lane wrote
the opinion OF the commission, and it was
under his direction that the whole in
was conducted. 1t is believed
that the express companies will not con-
test the findings of the commission. and
that they will. with but little modifca-
tion. go into effect not later than No
vember next
