for It Is probable that the mandate

TWO ARE ARRESTED
FOR KILLING MAN
NEW YEAR NIGHT
Inquiry Into Mysterious
Deaths in Dead Mans
Hollow" to Be Begun.

Charged with the murder of Jacob
Moon, the young colored man who was
found beaten to death Thursday morn
ing on a vacant lot near Twenty-sev-
entb and G streets northwest, Albert
Butler, twenty-three years old, OF 100
Twenty sixth street northwest, and
Leo Thomas, aged forty-four, living in
Twenty ninth street, are locked up at
the Third precinct police station.
Thomas was arrested after Butier
had made a statement saying ne was
with Thomas when the latter struck
Moon with a stone. Butler said he
asked Thomas why he had hit Moon,
and Thomas, he asserts, replied;
"Dead men tell no tales. l put TWO
men out of business in Dead Man
Hollow like that. One was coloreo
and the other white"
Thomas denies that he made any
such statement, or that he has any
knowledge of the way Moon was
killed.
according to Butler. there were sew
erai colored people at his home New
Year night, among them Moon and
Thomas. Moon, he asserts, became Ill.
and he and Thomas took him out to
get some air Butler claims that when
fhey Reached the vacant lot Thomas
njcked mn a stone and hit Moon on the
head.
rersrdjng the killings in Dead Mans
Hollow" may result in an investiga-
tion beinp made again of certain mys-
terious deaths that have occurred
there within the last few years.

BOARD Of TRADE
DIRECTORS MEET
IN FINE QUARTERS
Rooms Are Renovated and
Decorated in Way to
Please All.

The first meeting to be held in the
Board of Trade rooms since they have
been renovated will be that of the di-
rectors this afternoon at 4:45 O'clock.
The rooms present an entirely differ
ent appearance now from what they did
month ago Partitions dividing the
rooms from two other smaller rooms
have been taken away, thus enlarging
the trade headquarters considerably.
The walls are freshly painted in straw
color. A handsome new green velvet
carpet has been laid, and the draperies,
of the same shade of green and elabor-
ately trimmed in old gold braid, are of
green velour. The colors harmonic
splendidly and the committee in charge
of the work, of which Chris Gockeler
was chairman, are receiving congratula-
tions on all sides on the artistic results
of their efforts.
In addition to the usual routine busi-
ness of the board, several matters Of
more than ordinary Importance may de-
velop. 1t is probable that the letter
which w H. Singleton recently ad-
dressed to the Chamber Of Commerce.
in which he claimed that statements
contained in a publication of the COM
mittee of 100 on the future development
Of Washington and sanctioned by the
Chamber, led to false conclusions. will
be brought to the attention of the direc-
tors.
The membership committee has re-
commended a number of names for ad-
mission and these will be voted on. The
directors will also probably arrange for
the next monthly meeting of the board.

COMMISSION HOPES
FOR APPROPRIATION
OF LIBERAL SIZE
Increased Budget Is Made
Necessary by Reduction of
Debt, Is Claim.

That liberal treatment viii be accord
ed to the District by Congress in the
passage of the District appropriation
bill is the opinion prevailing among
District officials.
The subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations last year con-
sumed ten days in the hearings on the
estimates of the Commissioners. This
year the Commissioners have appeared
before the subcommittee two days and
the work is nearly half finished. The
consideration given the arguments of
the Commissioners is taken as favor
able indication that ample provision will
be made for the needs of the District
The Commissioners estimates for the
current fiscal year totaled $12.066.1 and
the amount awarded in the. appropria.
ton bill was $40, I9,173. For the fiscal
year beginning July /, the Commis-
sioners' estimates aggregate 81. lSs, $3.50.
In view of the fact that the District Is
paying off its debts faster than any city
In the United States and that Its un-
funded debt will be extnguished by 1915,
1t Is believed that Congress will deal
generously with the estimates.
Among the largest items are those for
the schools. The Commissioners are
hopeful that the appropriation Of 81, Co.,
00C for beginning the construction OF a
new Central High School will be al
lowed
The estimates of the Health Depart
ment will be taken I'D tomorrow.

About this point the letters get so
hot they can't be used, because this

That's the sort of letters they are
writing in to the Democrats. The Re-

are told that "our town" finds that the
unspeakable outrage of taking away its
port of entry is about to be per2etrated.

cratic job: but it munst be stopped.

rage is not consummated, and IL you
don't attend TO il. we'll beat you with
clubs the next time you run. Yours
very affectionately-" etc.
These cases are scattered all over the
land: north and south. east and west,
interior and seaport places. The row
that has been stirred up Is simply be-
yond management.
Congressman Cox, who started the
trouble, and Chairman Fitzgerald. who
put the little clause in the sundry civil
bill. are standing by their guns. In
fact, there is report that they are beg
ging Secretary MacVeagh to get the
order issued soon. because the pressure
from Democratic job-hunters is so
strong that they fear they can never

Democratic Administration II looks as
IL the executive order would finally be
issued despite all the protest that has
been made: but if IT does there will be
a lot of mad Dmocrats scattered around
this country.
All of which shows that when you're

the other fellow than to retrench your
self.

WOODROW WILSON
A FALSE PROPHET
Promised that Lower Tariff
Would Reduce the Cost of Liv-
ing, but 1t Hasn't.

When Secretary of State Bryan was
campaigning in New Jersey he said:
The" new Tariff bill has been pass
ed; IL is now in effect. Have you
heard OF a panic resulting?"
Not yet. Neither have we heard
of the cost of living taking tumble.
We were told repeatedly, when Mr..
Wilson was seeking the nomination
for President, that the one sure way
to bring down the price of foodstuffs
was by reducing the Tariff sched-
ules.
He made it known throughout the
country that If the people sent him
to Washington and gave him a SYM
pathetic Congress. he would see to
1t that no time was lost i'm putting
into effect his low Tariff ideas.
He was sent to Washington, he
was given a sympathetic Congress,
and the Tariff schedules we're hewn
to the pith, but who has heard of a
reduction in the price of the neces-
saries of life?
Is II not a fact that in the past
six months the cost of about every
thing that a householder has to have
has increased?
What are your red meats COSTING
a pound today? Just as soon as the
new Tariff bin was passed, it was
announced with great flourish of
trumpets by the friends of Free-Trad
that carloads of beef were being
shipped to this country from Canada
and that shipments of beef were conn.,
ing here from Argentina. J
Everybody rejoiced, because they
saw the price of steak going down; !;
but instead of going down it has
steadily gone up, and we are now
told that it may reach the pitch of
81 a pound before it stops.
The retail price of eggs to-day in
Philadelphia and New York ranges
from 75 cents to so cents a dozen,
and the tendency is upward.
The prospect is not cheerful one,
and the suspicion that the people
have once more been banlbOozled is
daily gaining strength. IN.
