note paper with pencil, and was not
dated, a Formally not necessary under
Virginia laws In the will Nicholas eX-
planned that Mrs. McClendon had cared
for him in ST Louis after he had been
injured there in a street car accident.
Inclosed in the package was a letter
from the sender stating that he had rob-
bed G ,orge Nicholas, and having read the

To Name New Treasurer.
DANIELS PLANS CHANGES.
Hopes Naval War College Will Be
Useful to More Officers

AS result of Secretary Daniels con-
ferences with the officials at the Naval
War College at Newport, he will en-
deavor to devise a plan whereby the
college will be useful to larger num-
Der of officers. He has not yet deter
mined a policy, but hopes to arrange
SO that every naval officer will receive
instruction there.
One recommendation put forth at the
conference was that every officer must
pursue the long course at the Naval
College as qualification to become
commander of a battleship
The Secretary also is considering q
suggestion to hold the longer course
of eight months in this city during the
winter, and to conduct the shorter
course at Newport during the summer
months. He found a prejudice against
Newport as place of winter residence

sters-More Machines Can
Be Used.

Never before in the history of the
automobile in the National Capital

donating their machines to give the
several hundred orphans in the Dis

Monday, June 80, and while a number
of cars have been donated to the com
mittee in charge of the run for this

who has promised to show the children a
good time during their stay on the
grounds next Monday afternoon. All of
the amusements will be thrown open to
the little folks and they will be permitted

dren will have ample opportunity to romp
about the fields and enjoy a day of fun
in the open air.
According to the program of the COM
mittee. as announced at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon, the cars donated for
the run will be requested to report at the
District building next Monday at noon.
The cars will then be dispatched to the
various institutions as fast as they ar
rive. and after loading up with the little
ones will again report at the starting
point. After the last car has returned
with its load they will be lined up and
the start made for Glen Echo. The route
will be past the Treasury Department
and the White House, out Madison place
to 18th street north on 18th street to
Massachusetts avenue, out Massachusetts
avenue to Connecticut avenue. north on
Connecticut avenue, crossing the new
Connecticut Avenue bridge to the western
entrance to the Geological Park Enter
ing at this point the cars will move
slowly through the Zoo Park. following
Rock creek. winding through Rock Creek
Park and leaving by Military road. From
this point the route will be via Chevy
Chase Circle to Tenleytown. passing the
American University and connecting with
the Conduit road. via the New Cut road
at the reservoir. The Conduit road will
then be followed to Glen Echo. where
the cars will be parked for the few hours
that the children are enjoying themselves
The return trip will be down the Conduit
road to Georgetown. where the cars will
be dispersed and the tired youngsters
returned to the various institutions to

When Blaine grabbed the prisoner, the
formers two little daughters, about ten
and twelve years old. thing their faith
er in danger. began to cry and ran to-
ward the door of the courtroom.
In their flight the children ran directly
into the range of the flying bullets, and
if the aim of Stewart had been lower
they would probably have been killed.
One of the children did not stop running
until she had crossed the street and en-
tered the Fendall building. opposite the
courthouse.
A young Italian who had been sitting
in the courtroom made his exit by means
of window. dropping fifteen feet to the
tagged portico of the courthouse. Pick
ing himself up he continued his flight
into Judiciary Square. where in his blind
terror he ran into a tree and was daZed.
Thinking he might have done the shoot

he escaped rough handling only when the
news reached the crowd that the person
with the pistol had been captured.

SALOON MAN GETS
ONE MORE CHANCE
Rector of ST. Johns Church In
tercedes in Movement Against
Place on River Street.

A movement to have the saloon IL
cense of Jacob Eisenberg, at 10 River
street, revoked because of noises
there which disturbed the services in
st. Johns Catholic Church nearby,
has been halted at the request of Rev.
James p. Poels, rector of the church
1t was complaint by Father Poels
at an early mass on Sunday which
stirred the men Pensioners so that
they planned to present evidence
which would result in the revoking of
Eisenberg's license.
A meeting of the men parishioners
was held last night in st. Johns
School Hall on Mulberry street, OPP
posite the church. Father Poels pre-
sided and informed the men that
Eisenberg had come to him and
promised to remedy conditions at the
saloon. The priest asked that the
man be given one more chance.
Other speakers were Alderman
James Rogers and DIR. P. j. McGuin-
ness. They explained they had visited
Chief of Police Long. The latter as
sured them that the saloon would
have to be conducted properly or
wholesale arrests would result. Chief
Long has issued orders to Captain
Ryan of the First Precinct, to keep
a watchful eye on the saloon and to
take action If the law is violated.
Father Poels declared that there
was no objection to this saloonkeep-
err, or any other man, be he Hebrew
or Christian, making a living, but
that nightly disturbances at the place
would have to cease At the rector S
suggestion the men agreed to drop
the matter temporarily and watch
the future conduct of affairs at the
saloon.
