RUSSIANS MAY BUY
HENDERSON HOUSE
Property in Avenue of the Pres
idents Well Adapted for
Embassy.

Negotiations for the purchase by the
Russian government of the new resi-
dence of Mrs. John B. Henderson in the
Avenue of the Presidents just south OF
Columbia road are reported to be pend
ing.
1t is known that officials in the en-
bassy have inspected the new building
slams are able to purchase the newly
acquired residence of John Hays Ham,
mend they will select the Henderson
residence as their future home.
The house was built by Mrs. Hen
derson as an investment, and was de-
signed by. George Oakley Totten, jr., es-
pecially for embassy or legation pur-
poses. There is a room for the chan
celry, a number of offices and a ball
room, banquet room and other rooms
specially adapted for diplomatic enter
tanning.
The neighborhood is also excelIently
suited for the purpose. In the same
section are the French embassy, the
Swedish and Spanish legations, the
residence of former Secretary Mac
Veagh and Mrs. Henderson's own
castle-like residence.
1t is understood the Russians are
disappointed at not securing the pala-
ttal home of Mrs. George Pullman for
their embassy.
The local representatives had recon-
mended the purchase of the property at
a figure not far short of $500. 900. but
before the appropriation was granted,
JOHN Hays Hammond had purchased
it for his residence.
Rumors have been afioat that Mr..
Hammond would resell the house to
the Russians, but II does not seem likely
this will be done. The figure at which
the Henderson house is to be purchased
exceed s25O.OO0

CRUELTY CHARGED
BY A LITTLE GIRL
Mystery Surrounds Appearance
of Julia Philips, Aged Thir-
teen, in New York.

There is an atmosphere of mystery
concerning the finding in the streets
of New York City of pretty thirteen
year-old Julia Phillips, arrangements
for whose return to the home of her
relatives here is being made today. The
little girl was supposed to be in Elkins,
w. Va, with her father, who is en-
ployed with Blaine Elkins, some of the
late Senator Stephen b. Elkins. She
left this city with her father early in
April. How she got to New York is a
question that puzzles her aged grand
aunt, Mrs. Katherine Galley, of Friend
ship Heights. with whom she made her
home here and her other relatives.
When found the girl told a story of
being taken to New York by her father
and being placed in a Protestant home
in that city. She declared she had -un
away from the home because the super
intendent OF the institution tried to
make her renOunce her faith and be-
come a Protestant. She recited several
instances of cruelty she declares to
have suffered because she persisted in
her Catholic belief.
Mrs. Galley. the OCtogenarian grand
aunt of the little girl declares that she
does not believe the child was taken to
New York by her father. She is in,
Clined 20 believe she ran away and
made her way to New York. But how
Asked If the story told by the Iun-
away girl to the effect that she had
written her, advising the child to
run away and seek the advice of a
Catholic priest was correct, Mrs.
Galley denied il emnhatically.
I'VE thought the child was in safe
keeping in her fathers care" said
Mrs Galley. 81 knew nothing of this
allie ged persecution of the little one
on account of her religious belief un-
til | saw the account in the news
Papers. We are making all arrange
Tents TO have her brought hack to
Washington and placed in a suitable
home"
While her relatives here are pre-
pairing to take charge of her. little
Julia is in care of the New York pO-
lice. She will probably be brought
rack to this city tomorrow. All ef-
forts to get into communication with
the little girls father both in Elkins
and New York city have failed.

THIRTEEN PERISH

High Temperature Records
Broken for the Year-Many
Cities Suffering.

CHICAGO. July 3o.-Thirteen deaths
within twenty hours, half a hun
dred prostrations, and new high tenn
perature records for 1913, marked the
advent of the hot wave that grips the
West and middle West today
In Chicago, where the new torrid
spell sent the mercury to 80, breaking
the season record, a cool breeze blowing
off the lake brought relief during the
night, but at daybreak the thermometer
showed the temperature mounting
again, with a probability that 1t will
reach 100 today At Peoria, Ill, where a
kiosk in the downtown district regis
tered 109 degrees yesterday, the Govern
ment thermometer showed a tempera-
ture approaching 30 early today.
Clay Center, Kan, claimant TO the
title of the hottest city" reported a
maximum temperature of lO1. cities
all over the West reported readings In
excess OF 100.
The Chicago grain pit was tense. with
excitement before the opening today.
For two weeks brokers have felt that
a return of the hot, dry weather would
result in immense damage to the crop
in the Western States. The start OF
the hot spell caused an excited furry
that sent prices up from to 3 cents
yesterday. Leading houses predicted n
rush to buy corn today that Will sweep
the bears off their feet.
The same condition was reported az
Kansas City and to an extent at othe.
grain markets. The sun is withering
the crops to an alarming extent and in
some localities the damage has been
permanent.

MEETING DELAYED
BY BALTIMORE MEN
Committee Of Maryland City
Merchants Named to Make
Further Investigation.

Although Baltimore merchants held
their meeting yesterday afternoon to
decide on further steps in the fight for
free store door delivery OF freight, they
did not set a date for comforting with
Washington merchants on the point Of
cooperation.
A committee was named to consider
the campaign further. After this work
is done. the Baltimoreans will notify
Washington as to the subject OF Coop
Grafton.
Retail merchants association repre-
sentatives had anticipated a meeting
with the Baltimore committee today.
However. they still feel that Baltimore
will take Washington in on the fight.
and that there will be no difficulty on
that score.
Meantime. the local men are playing
4 waiting game. No further steps can
be taken until the Interstate Commerce
Commission decides on the question of
hearing on the Pennsylvanla's new
schedule. so that the delay now is not
injuring the merchants interests.

wanted home and found it.

ed il over with his foot. Much to his
surprise there was little wall from
the package.
Davis unwrapped the package and
inside he found a boy baby, between
two and three weeks old.
Il guess you're looking for a home"
Davis said, picking the infant up and
starting toward his house well
you've found one. all right"
Davis is fifty-eight years old today.
The couple have been married many
years, and the only thing that has
marred their domestic happiness is the
fact that there are no children.
Some Present.
With the baby in his arms, Davis ran
all the way to the house. so eager was
he to get home. He greeted his wife by
saying: II got myself d birthday pres
ent"
oh. John" replied Mrs Davis. 'Why
did you DO that? I've got such a sur
prise for you"
IT'S nothing to the surprise I've got
fOr you, her husband answered. Then
he showed ner what was in the pack
age"
To say that Mr.. and Mrs. Davis are
delighted over their find is putting II
mildly. Davis thought il best to notify
the police. so he dropped around at thr
Fourth precinct station today and told
them about finding the baby.
All right" Desk Sergeant George

so. Sellers didn't understand just how
MI and MIS-. Davis felt on the subject
Of babies.
You will not," Davis replied. I'm
on my way now to the Board of Chari-
ties to make arrangements to legally
adopt the boy. You've got as mitch
show to send that boy to some instltu-
ton as you have TO send me or my

The police have no intention of inter

little waif has found a good home, and
at least one man in the United States
