man of the committee: c. NJ. Wood. u. 9.

bert the latter plotting the party in a
six-cylinder White touring car.
owing to the miserable condition Of
some OF the roads, the committee is to-
day engaged in changing the route, and
there is q strong probability that an en-
tirely new one viii be selected by the
time the run takes place.
The motorists left Chambersburs, Pa.
Yesterday morning and motored TO this
city via Hagerstown, Sharpsburg, Shep-
herdstown, Charles Town. Berryville.
Bluemont, Middleburg, Aldie and Falls
Church. The distance was 20 miles.
The committee i'm changing the route
will recommend to Public Opinion, which
newspaper is promoting the run, that the
route from Chambeysburg be via Gettys-
burg. Westminster and Baltimore coming
TO Washington over the new boulevard.
This distance is about 1a9 miles and
the roads are far superior to those which
the party travelled over yesterday. The
return trip from here will be via Rock
vile. Gaithersburg, Hyattstown, Fred
erick and thence to Hagerstown
The booster rum will leave Chambers
burg on the morning of May "a. arriv-
ing in this city about ) o'clock the same
evening. The night will be. spent here
and the return trip made the next MORN
ing early There will be between twenty

scope of the work Will be considered
Following this, steps will be taken to
enroll a large membership so that the
association will have widespread sup
port among public minded citizens and
workers. One plan which has been
suggested provides for an active and
a non active membership Through the
non active membership it is believed
that many persons will be enrolled
and their moral support will be en-
listed who otherwise might not be en-
rolled because they had no time to un-
dertake work in such an ORGANIZATION.

Dnah-Stevens, a gypsy girl. fourteen
years old, with whom he is alleged to
have eloped from the gypsy camp at
Madre's Park, lexington. two weeks ago.
The couple were arrested at the request
of Maj. Sylvester and the girls brother.
The disappearance of the girl and her
lover caused distress in the camp. and
Elizabeth's brother declared he would

find her and bring her back. Later the
brothers wife, Annie Stevens. disappear
ed and search for her was also instituted
Says Mother Wanted to Sell Her.
In Magistrate Germans court yesterday
the girl made the statement that she had
eloped with Morgan because her mother
wanted to sell her in marriage for 81 900.
That is the gypsy style. you know"
she said. Il did not love that man like
brothers and they eloped to marry girls
of their choice and why should 1 not do
it,
You have been together almost two
weeks?' said the magistrate.
Yes, yes; that is so, but we had not
the chance to get married. she said. as
though the magistrate should have
known. I'VE were very anxious DO
marry, but We were afraid to go out, be-
cause We might be caught. We would
like to marry now, she said, as she
glanced at her sweetheart

she appealed.
do you love Louiso" Magistrate Cor
man asked her.
Il do. very. very much. l love him
very much, she replied
Morgan Has His Say.
Morgan had something to say to the
magistrate. He stated:
we met in Pittsburgh. and then l
went to Jersey City, where i sent let
ters and candy to her You do not
know how happy 1 was when Elizabeth
wrote me that she would marry me as
soon as / was ready.
When Elizabeth was taken to Wash

ed to be Indifferent toward each other
long I get for taking Elizabeth away.
II will marry her when / get out
of prison. If i don't marry her, l will
shoot myself. But, judge. all l ask of
you is to take care Of her until I am free
and we will both be happy again"
Magistrate Morgan continued the hear
ing until tomorrow. The gypsy girl,
thinking she and her lover had been
paroled, embraced Morgan, and said:
We're free, Lou, we're free" but she
was quickly advised of her mistake.
She was sent to the house of deten-
ton and Morgan was sent to the police
station On his way to the cell, Louis
stopped long enough to embrace and
kiss the girl.
Detective Forteney went to Philadel-
phia last night with a warrant charg-
ing Morgan with abduction. Several of
the girls relatives accompanied him.

Fire in Home of M. A. Dillon.

Smoke from small fire in the base
mcnt of the home of NJ. a. Dillon, :;G:S
Highland avenue, Cleveland Park. this
morning about O'Clock aroused MEM
bers of the family and caused them to
hurry from the house. No. 20 engine
company responded to telephone mes
sage. and the quantity of smoke about
the premises seemed to indicate that the
house was doomed. An alarm brought
additional fire companies but their s'erv-
ices We're not needed.
1t was found that rags in the base
ment had caught fire and made the
smoke. 1t is thought the fire was caused
by spontaneous combustion. Firemen
quickly eXtinguished the blaze before any
damage had been done, and the family
returned to the house.
No 10 engine company extinguished a
small fire in shed in the rear of vacant
house $40 AZ street southwest yesterday
afternoon. The blaze was of unknown
origin. No damage resulted.

Fire Marshal Nicholson is today inves-

establishment of Miller. Clagett & Co. 81
G street northwest So threatening was
the blaze in the early stage that sec
ond alarm was sounded. and eight engine
companies four trucks and the water
tower responded.
1t is thought the fire started on the
ground floor. and burned it's way TO the
roof through the elevator shaft. The
flames spread over the top floor and the
roof. making ii necessary for the fire
men to use immense quantities of water
causing thereby much damage to the
stock on the three floors.
