Civic Betterment Association Re-
sents His Attack on District
Commissioners.

The statement of Representative Lo-
beck that the District Commissioners are
responsible for the purchase of picked
or cold storage eggs as food for the pa
tients of the tuberculosis Hospital,
called forth a hot denial from the execu-
tive committee Of the Civic Betterment
Association at its monthly meeting yes
terday afternoon at S16 K street. The
declaration was made and emphasized
that the members Of the Board Of Chari-
ties and not the Commissioners were the
culpable parties.
THE Board Of Charities is an inde-
pendent executive body" declared
Thomas V. Wilson. Its members are
appointed directly by the President Of the
United States, and the President has the
power OF removal OF any or all Of its
members. The attempt to place the Dis
trict Commissioners In the bad-egg-buy-
ing business is as ridiculous as many
other uncalled for criticisms that are
aimed at them" The Commissioners
were lauded for their conscientious and
painstaking efforts in behalf Of the citi-
zens Of the District and their zeal In
making Washington the city beautiful
and the most magnificent Capital In the
world"
A resolution was adopted by the COM
mittee and will be presented to the as
ISOLATION for action condemning the
practice Of carrying concealed weapons
and urging that a severe concealed
weapon law be enacted by Congress.

ers In reporting adversely on the bill for

POLICEMAN NIPS
BOYS AMBITIONS
Two Youngsters Break Glass in
Lamp-post While Practicing for
Places with the Nationals.

Aspirations OF two ambitious young
sters with visions of signing up with
Grifith and being given a try-out In the
mud puddle at Charlottesville yesterday
were nippsd in the bud by Policeman
John Billman. OF the Third precinct.
Billman was taking a turn about his
beat between and . o'clock in the after
noon when he heard the sounds of
crashing glass and boyish chatter. Look
ing down the street, the policeman saw
two lads raining stones with destructive
accuracy at the lamp-post at Twenty
fourth and N streets.
Billman knew that as soon as the
youths caught sight OF his uniform they
would fee at a speed that would make
capture almost impossible. He stopped
a citizen and said: "will you lend me
your hat and coat for about a minute"
The citizen consented and the change
was made IN a few seconds.
Without his helmet, baton, and brass
buttons, the policeman looked like a
civilian. and the boys did not sight his
blue trousers until he was about twenty
yards away. He caught them after a
short chase. The Toys averred they were
practicing tine kangaroo curve and
knuckle ball which Walter johnson and
the rest are using.
At the station the lads gave their
names as Morris Reidy of 1854 Twenty
first street, and Edward Blosckoski. OF
mi n street northwest. They are fifteen
years old. After being charged with de-
stroying private property, they were re-
leased on IS collateral each.

WOMAN RUN DOWN
: BY AUTO IS DEAD
Mrs. Orlando Q. lexis Sue
cumbs to a Fracture
of the Skull.
DAUGHTER FRUSTRATED

Without regaininE consciousness after
she was knocked senseless by an sutomo-
bile. Saturday night, Mrs. Orlando u.
lexis, fifty years old, of 1896 Mount Pleas
ant street northwest, died last night at
Homeopathic Hospital from q fracture Of
the skull sustained in the accident
Her husband. who is well known as
an enploye of the Pension once, and
daughter, Miss Imogene lexis. were at
the bedside when the wife and mother
breathed her last. Miss lexis is pros
trated and under the care of physicians
at her home. While no fears for her life
are entertained, it is believed she will
not recover from the shock for weeks.
BY a peculiar coincidence. Wade
Blackstone, who the police say was driv-
ing the auto when il struck Mrs. lexis. is
close friend of the lexis family and
had known Mrs. lexis for years. Efforts
10 see Mr.. Blackstone has been Of no
avail. At his home, 152S Q street north
west, inquirers are informed he is out,
and that II is not known when he will
return.
Auto Owner Shocked.
1t was learned, however, that Mr..
Blackstone, who is a weIl-known realty
salesman, is so grief-stricken as a result
OF the Iatal mlSnap that he mas denleo
himself to visitors. According to the po-
lice. Blackstone was driving north in
Fourteenth street. at X, through down.
pour of rain shortly after 10 o'clock Sat
urday evening when his machine struck
Mrs. lexis. who was returning home un-
accompanied after visiting friends.
When Mr.. Blackstone stopped the ma
chine and bent over the PROSTATE form
OF Mrs. lexis. he discovered that he had
seriously injured a friend, and he grew
almost fractic. Lifting the woman in his
arms he placed her in the machine and
drove to the ONCE of a physician. The
physician at once removed Mrs. lexis to
the hospital Specialists were called into
consultation in an effort to save her life,
but she died. it is said, without knowing
She had been injured.
Coroner hewitt has made a preliminary
investigation, and ordered an inquest to
be held this morning at II o'clock. Mr..
Blackstone has been summoned to ap-
pear as a witness. Arrangements for the
funeral Of Mrs. lexis have not been COM
pleted.

the mission was not successful, his se-
lection proves the esteem in which Car
roll was held. and entities him to a place
among the founders of the republic
When peace came to the United States
the Catholic Church was freed from
bondage. and John Carroll was appointed
by Rome superior over all the Catholic
clergy. Among his FIRST acts after his
elevation was to design q Catholic col
lege, and SO the opening OF Georgetown
University was synchronous with its
founders appointment as the first
Bishop OF Baltimore and of the United
States. II Is to commemorate this foun-
dalton that the present statue is erected
by a grateful alumni.
The idea originated at the annual ban
quet OF the National Society Of the
Georgetown University alumni held on
January 2, 1903. In responding to the
toast Our founder" Rev. John Con-
way, s. J.. professor of ethics in the
School of Arts and lecturer on the natu-
raj law and canon law in the law depart
ment. related that II was the intention
OF the late President Healy, who erected
the magnificent administration building
on the university campus. to have a
statue of the founder. Bishop Carroll,
adorn one Of the inches on the main por-
tico.
COnway's Dream FuIhIIed.
The appeal Of Father Conway met with
hearty response from the alumni. A
committee was appointed of ways and
means, and George Z. Hamilton, esq.,,
was selected chairman. A circular ex-
planning the proposition to perpetuate the
memory CT the founder and calling upon
the alumni 20 subscribe was sent out
and the necessary funds were thus OBJ
tained. The dream Of Father Conway is
thus to be fulfilled and the Sons of
Georgetown. Including those who occupy
the chair Of governors and Judges, mem
bers of State legislatures and our Ma
tional Congress will unite In the lauda-
ton OF him whom they must look upon
in some light as a father and a patron.

JEWEL SMUGGLERS
NABBED In WEST
Gem Seizure at Minneapolis Last
Week Is Part of Big Secret
Service Crusade.

The seizure of jewelry Saturday, at
Minneapolis. by Special Agent FouIke and
Deputy Collector of Customs Cooley is
in line with the crusade which has
been In progress for several months to
prevent smugglers from passing gems
across the border from Canada The
officials OF the Treasury Department
have been aware for some time that
jewelry smugglers have been busy on the
border, and special agents have been as
signed to investigate the extent of opera
tons. John E. Wilkie, supervising agent
of the Treasury Department, does not
believe that the jewelry smuggIers are
organized on a large scale.
The value OF the jewelry seized at
Minneapolis. he declared. was $4,000 in
stead Of $4,000. Mr.. wilkie added that
publicity, which had developed from the
seizure, had embarrassed the operations
of the special agents and might delay
the arrest of the smugglers. Mr.. wilkie
denied TINT Special Agent Foulke had
left Minneapolis for New York to fol-
low up the case there. Mr.. FouIke viii
remain in Minnesota to continue his in
vestigation.
Big Firms Involved.
learned that smugglers, using Canada
as q base. were attempting TO get Jew
elry cut, In Northwestern States. 1t Is
believed that American tewelry firms in
the Wertern States have been active IN
endeavoring to bring valuable stones into
this country without the payment of
duty. The duties on precious stones IS
high. and II the American ,jewelry firms
can evade Payment, they can make a big
increase in their profits. The publication
OF the Minneapolis seizure, officials say,
may result in some of the smuggiers get
ting away. The plan OF the department
was TO round up all the persons involved
In the alleged smuggling plot within the
next few weeks. and then make public
the details. II is likely, in view of the
premature publicity. that some of the
smugslers may escape for the present.
but the Treasury officials are hopeful
that they viii be eventually captured.
