Washington LETTER.

Washington D. C. April IL
resident Wilson has been exceed
ngly busy the past week smashing
al kinds of precedents, until the
seasoned legislator, who never had 50
many thrills before, is sitting UP and
wondering what will happen next
in conservative Washington. That
President Wilson has no particular
regard for tradition was cXempliticd
on Tuesday when he read his mes
sage on the tariff to the joint as
sembly of the House and Senate
and won a new position in the eS-
,teem of the American people.
Many Of the members OF the 63rd
Congress looked upon tbs innova-
ton with mingled feelings Of doubt
and criticism but whereas they went
TO the Capitol to scott and possibly
to ieer they returned with nothing
Mt praise and commendation for
the dignity of the occasion and the
and the high minded way in which
the new departure was staged. Not
satisfied with shocking the cave
jewellers on Tuesday, on Wednesday
the President broke another prece-
dent by going to the Senate wing of
the capitol and occupying the Pres
ident's room for a heart-to-heart
talk with the majority members of
the upper branch with a view to
harmonizing existing differences on
the tariff to the end that the bill
may be put on the statue books as
quickly as possible. And the visit
was so productive that Mr.. Wilson
says he is going again very soOOn
and he will also read other messages
to Congress when he regards thenl
of exceptional interest. We sure
are progressing.

Of every transaction. He takes stock at

u, S, Courts to Punish Those who
Steal from Cars.

Washington, D. c., March 25.-One
of the measures passed at this session OF
Congress makes it felony to break the
seal of a railroad car containing inter-
state or foreign shipments OF freight, ex-
press or baggage, or to enter such car
with intent to steal, conceal or by fraud
or deception obtain from any railroad
car, station-house, depot or platform any
goods or chattels which are part of an
interstate or foreign shipment OF freight,
express or baggage. Breaking into or
stealing any part of the contents of a
piece of baggage also comes under the
provisions of the act, which applies with
equal force to any person who shall buy,
receive or have in his possession any
freight, express, baggage or other goods
or chattels SO stolen, knowing the same
to be stolen. The punishment for any OF
these offenses is a fine up to ten years,
or both, and prosecutions may be insti-
tuted in any district where the crime
shall have been committed.
The carrying or transporting by per-
son of any such freight, express, baggage
or goods or chattels from one State or
territory into another knowing it to have
been stolen constitutes separate offense
for which the punishment is prescribed.
Prosecutions for such transporting OF
stolen property may be instituted in any
district into which the goods or chattels
may have been brought.
The making of these acts federal Of
lenses, together with the severity OF the
punishment provided, is expected to pre-
vent much crime of this character, as all
offenders have a wholesome fear OF Unit
ed States courts and the promptness and
certainty with which they mete out pun
ishment. -

QUEEN MARY BARS
Big GAMBLING CLUB
Consort Ends Plans For Exclu-
Slvo WOman's House.

London.-Queen Mary by reason of
her unconquerable aversion to gam
bling In any form by women has pre-
vented the establishment of q woman's
club In London which, from a social
point OF view. by far would have out
ranked any existing woman's club In
the city and which, In fact, would
have been a kind OF woman's Marlbor-
ough club.
The incident at the same time shows
how, In spite of the queens strong and
constantly demonstrated objection, the
society women of England are equally
determined not to be deprived of their
big or little gambling.
A plan was formulated a short time
ago to start a woman's club the mem
bership OF which was to be restricted
to past and present ladies OF the vari-
u royal households In England. AT
nrst everything pointed to its imme-
date great success. Nearly every
royal lady residing In England prom
Used to join. and a strong body Of la
dies of the royal households imme-
diately came I'm.
or course II was absolutely essen
tial that such a club should have the
support OF the queen. as she Is the
head OF the select body from which
the members were to be selected.
Lady Agneta Montague, the organic
ing secretary of the club. Immediately
approached Queen Mary as soo as the
successful establishment Of the club
was assured. A couple OF weeks ago
the queen wrote to Lady Agneta that
she would join the club, but only on
the conditions that there should be no
card room In II and that 40 male Wis
itors should be received.
These conditions were made known.
and two weeks sufficed to show that
they rendered the formation Of the
club impossible, for Of the $50 ladies
who formed the original nucleus OF
the organization 140 have now with
drawn their names. As a result the
scheme has been abandoned.
