MAN POSING AS
WOMAN SOUGHT
FOR ROBBER|ES
Mrs. Daniel Kelly Gives
Clue to Mt. Pleasant
Thief.

Police of the Eighth precinct obtain
ed information today which leads them
to believe the large number of robberies
in Columbia Heights and Mt. Pleasant
during the last two months may have
been the work of a colored man dis
guised as a woman. ~
Mrs. Daniel Kelly, Of 1923 Riggs street
northwest, called at the station house
this morning and said that last Thurs
day night some one rang her door bell
several times, but as she was prepar-
ing to retire she did not go to the
door.
A minute or two after the bell stopped
ringing, she heard a key in the lock on
the front door. She Immediately. went
downstairs. AS she reached the hall
the door opened, and colored woman
entered. The intruder raised veil, and
seeing Mrs. Kelly, said in a deep male
voice:
II guess l have made a mistake
The intruder, who Mrs. Kelly be-
lieNes was a man dressed in woman's s
clothing, then opened the door and
left the house. Mrs. Kelly said she
paid no partucular attention TO the
incident, although she thought il
strange a man would be disguised as
q woman. Later she reached the con .
Clusiun that the coloIed person had
entered the house for the purpose OF
robbery and that tho persistent ring
ing Of the door bell was a ruse to
learn whether any one was at home.
Most of the robberies in the north
west section of the city during the
last two months have been com;
homes and apartments during the ab-
sCnce of members OF the households.

UNIONS FEAR NEW
BILL WILL ADMIT

Protests of Labor Organiza-

ure by Senators.

The Senate Committee on Immigra-
chairman, has been moved by the
protests of the American Federation
of Labor to take up once more the
Dillingham; bill for the codification Of
the immigration laws and consider
whether there is sound basis for the
contention of the Federation that If
the bill Is passed as II stands it will
throw open wide the noodgates OF
Chinese immigration.
The question raised is a most seri-
GUS one. II the Federation Is right,
the effect OF the bill would be to let
In millions of Chinese laborers and
put the country back on substanti-
ally the old arrangements with China
which obtained under the BurlingamG
treaty of 1858, and later treaties,
and before the adoption of the exclu-
sion law. :
Today the committee met to consider
the question. A brief filed by the
federation was considered. Nothing
was done, nasmuCh as a quorum was
not present. later meeting will be
held to take up the bill 1t is uncer-
tain what will be the outcome, though
the committee, II is insisted, hds no in
tention of relaxing the law as to, ad-
mission of Chirese.
The federation has not raised the
question OF now the bill will affect the
admission Of Japanese laborers, in view
OF the passport arrangement. But there
is feeling ir the committee that IT
may prove difficult to adjust the Chi
neSc exclusion question satisfa ctorilY
without getting involved in the question
of admission of Japanese labor.

WORKS DENQlUNCES
TA|NT OF POLITICS
ON THE PRESIDENCY
Says Executives Maneuver-
ing for Reelection Is
DiSgraceful.

Strongly objecting to the present sys-
tenn whereby Presidents of the United
States enter into campaigns and make
political deals 10 get themselves re-
nominated, Senator Works of Cali
fornia spoke in the Senate this after
noon in support of his resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Constitu-
ton to fix the term of the President at
six years instead of four, and to make
that official ineligible to reelection.
Enough dlsclaming he was alluding
to any particular case, Senator Works
set forth accurately conditions which
obtain at present in the Taft campaign
to force denomination. He alluded to
the humiliating spectacle of a President
travelling up and down the land guided
by an army officer and private detec-
tives," making political speeches and
urging his own reelection.
Senator Works said:
If this change were made the AM
ertcan people would be spared the hui
initiating spectacle of a President of
the United states travelling up and
army officer. and private detectives.
making political speeches and urging
his own reelection. The White House
would not be turned into a political
tary to the President. The official
head Of this great nation would be
free from the overpowerng temptation
to use his office and his power, as such,
to secure a second term.
1T was an unfortunate day for this
country when one of its distinguished,
honorable, and well-beloyed citizens
inaugurated the system, as a candidate
for President, of receiving delegates at
his home, and discussing political ques-
tions, ostensibly for their information,
but in fact TO be sent broadca st
throughout the country. That was the
beginning of an evil and wholly mex
cusable custom, by which the great Of
flee of President of the United States
was brought down to the level of self
seeking politics and personal appeals
for office.
Who does a President represent in
his official capacity during his term of
office? Presumably the whole people Of
the country, OF every political faith and
shade of belief. But does he, in fact,
under present conditions? No; Mr.
President, he does not. The President
has come to be regarded as the head
of his political partv.'
Senator Works entered at length into
the flagrant conditions in the South,
where the Federal officeholders dOmin-
ate the State conventions and are
forced, as a rule, to do the bidding of
the man in the White House.
