Representative Kahn. Of California, who
has been appearing at the state Depart
ment in the interest of the Robert Dollar
Steamship Company, whose vessel. the
Robert Dollar. was detained at Rio de
Janiero. received a message from the
steamship company yesterday afternoon
saying that the vessel had left the Brazil
ian port under the British haG The
state Department has had no COnfirma-
ton Of this report.
The Robert Dollar was refused clearance
by the Rin-port authorities following the
transfer of the vessel from the British
to the American flag. According to state
ments made TO Ambassador Morgan. the
Brazilian government feared that to
recognize the validity of the transfer by
granting the vessel clearance papers as
an American ship would in some way
impair its neutrality.
At first it was reported that the British
consul had protested against the transfer.
but later adviCes indicated that he had
withdrawn any such protest. and the
British Embassy here unoffiCially indi-
Gated that the British government had no
objections to the transfer Of American
owned vessels from British to American
registry.

far as Brazil is concerned. 1t is not
known here whether another attempt will
be made to transfer her to American

never TALKS WAR
Horn, the Tailor, Believes in Sharp
Competition, but Never Talks or
Thinks Of Wagins War on His
Business Competitors.

For nearly twenty years Horn, the
tailor, has set a pace in Washington's
tailoring world. He never minds what
the other fellow is doing. but simply
goes into the wooden market. using his
shrewdness and experience in buying
materials at rock-bottom, cash prices,
then offers genuine values at prices be-
low those Of any other establishment.
Horn has the confidence of the public
Year after year he has quoted bargains
in tailored garments at figures that
seemed too low, but he told the people
just what he would give them in quality
and Northumberland never failed to
make good.
When Mr.. Horns thousands Of old Gus
toners read one of his announcements
they never think of questioning what
ever he promises. And this standard has
been won by givingNhis constant per-
sonal supervision to the work of his
shops.
As a special Attraction for the opening
of his fall season Horn offers an immense
line of worsteds and cheviots from which
he will make suits at $3.50. This means
a first-class suit OF a weight that is
right for both fall and winter wear.
Ready made clothing of equal quality
is advertised as a bargain at $40. and
remember. here yOu'n get garments de-
signed and cut by your individual meas
urements. You'll be fitted to your abso-
Lutte satisfaction or you needn't pay a
penny.
Another special is a big line Of worsteds
in attractive stripes. These patterns are
particularly suitable for trousers. You'd
expect such qualities to sell for s. and IS,
but Horn has made the opening price
$50.
Don't postpone your order just because
the sun is warm today; Washington
weather is very chRngeable, and inside
a week you may be wishing for the
heavier garments.

New York. Dec, 1l.-Richard Can field, widely known sporting man of New York and Saratoga, died tonight at his home from cebral hemorrahge, resulting from fracture of the skull, sustained in a fail on a subway stair way on Thursday last,
 After the accident he refused medi- cal attention and went home. This morning his houseiSeeper tried &o wake him but failed. Physfcians were sum- moned, but despite all efforts to re- vive him he remained unconscious un- til his death.
 Garfield, who was 56 years old, was generally rated millionaire. He was noted as proprietor of pRlatial gambl- ing houses in New York city and at Saratoga Springs, N. T., and as an art connoiseur.
 Many of his art treasures adorned the rooms of his gambling establish ment in East 44th Street in this city. Tn December. 1902, it was raided by District Attorney Jerome and the po- lice. Garfield avoided arrest. At the time Mfr. Jerome declared Garfield was a much greater menace to the conn rnunity than an ordinary gambler.
 In May, 1903, Garfield returned from abroad to face charges that might be pending against him. Two years of legal warfare followed, at the end of which Garfield was fined 1000 as a common gambler.
