BURNING OF wHITTLE HALL
Sunday Morning Fire at the Theolog-
icaI Seminary.
As stated in the Gazette yesterda

! As stated III the Gazette yesterday
| Whittle Hall, the Parish Hall of
the Episcopal Theological Seminary
near this city, was totally destroyed
by fire Sunday morning. The janitor
had started the fire in the stove as
usual for the Sunday School which
was to assemble at haf-past nine
o'clock, and had remained in the
building until he considered every
thing was safe, as he had so often
done before. Shertlv after he left a
fire broke out in the wall near the
f1ue, and was discovered in its earliest
stages by Mr.. Persons, a student con-
nected with the Sunday School. about
five minutes before nine o'clock. He
Immediately gave the alarm and the
students did all that was possible to
save the building, but owing to the
fact that nothing but line Of buck
cts and water was at once available,
the fire attained such headway in
the roof that it was soon seen that
the building which was of wood, must
be total loss. All the furniture, in
Guiding a piano, was saved. The
High School boys led By Mr.. Stuart,
the proctor, and neighbors from the
vicinity. especially Messrs. Donaldson,
and John r. Howard came as soon'as
thev heard of the fire and rendered
efficient help. This is the first build
inc that has ever been destroyed by
fire at the Seminary in the whole
: history of the existence on "Ihe
HIP since the year 1927. 1t was most
fortunate that the fire occurred IN an
unattached building, for if it had
taken place in Aspinwall or the other
halls contiguous to it, nothing could
have saved the main buildings from
total destruction. The nearest build
ing to Whittle Hall was the residence
Of Professor Green, but as the morn
ing was calm, it was preserved from
danger during the progress OF the
fire which lasted in it's intensity for a
little more than an hour when the
building completely collapsed.
Whittle Hall was built by suoscfip-
ton in the year 1889, chiefly through
~. Efforts of the I.ao Seaiet;aS'
and the Rev. Robert Carter, Of
Orange. Va, who was then student

AT WASHINGTON THEATRES
New Play at Tie Belasco-MGllic

| The Fata:ily Cupboard at the

first metropolitan appearance night.
1t is the story Of New York life.
The Nelson's were new-rich New
York family, in which occurred I'm
books and plays, at leasD familiar
domestic tragedy of the money-get-
ting father and the society-m&i wife,
whose mutual neglect led to disrup-
ton of their home and almost the
ruin of their pampered son-with a
complete leconciiiaS:o and whole
sale adjustment in the end, quite N
accordance with rule. 1t is i gooG
commonplace play, entirely consistent
in its commonplaceness. 1t does not
il!umine its incidents, OF endow its
characters with originality, nor does
it tempt the fancy at any time with
poetic suggestion. 1t simply pursues
its plain, straightforward way
through sequence of staple Situa-
tons which arc arranged by skill
ful thcatricist into sure-tire plot
with an irreproachable moral lesson.
The sor4id story is made more sor-
did. yet at the same eime becomes a
better piece of dramatic writing by
the introduction of Kitty May, the
troublemakers. and her pal, Dick lie

of whom both author and actors make

Committee Reports Thorn
toms Bill to Bring Suit
Against Morgan.
IS SURE OF PASSAGE.
Governor is Instructed TO Demand the
Return of the Instrument TO the
State of Virginia.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 20.-The SEN
ate committee for courts OF justice
voted unanimously yesterday 20 re-
port Senator Thornton's bill author
izing the institution of proceedings
in the name of the Commonwealth TO
enforce the return to this State of the
will of Martha Washington. Thq
document is now in the possession or
J. Pierpont Morgan, of New York.
4 discussion OF the measure at the
meeting, which was held at 3 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, revealed fixed
purpose to secure the return of the
historic document filched from the
Fairfax county records during the
war between the States. The COM
mittee inserted section setting
forth the Importance Of bringing 1t
back to Virginia at the earliest pos
sib!e moment. and declaring the act
.7.rl en- nergency measure, effective from
its passage.
The bill takes its place at the head
of the Senate calendar, and will come
up on its first reading today. 1t is
assurei of passage in the upper house
and will probably get unanimous
vote. The same sentiment it i
stated, exists in the House of Dele
gates, where the measure will go
for concurrence before the end OF
This week.
Virginia'S fight to secure the return
= of Martha Washing;on's will %!if
attracted the notice Of the whole
country, ami the proceedings prom
ises to be interesting. Senator Thorn
ton and the district he represents are
pa.ticular!y concerned, since it was
from the Fairfax county court house
that the will was taken.
Senator Saunders thought that II
was desirable that a paper as I'M
portant historically as the Martha
Washington will should be assured OF
a safe resting place He was inform
ed by Senator Thornton that the fGir-
fax county court house could ade-
ouateiy safeguard it in its iireprooi
vault.
The will was recorded in the FAIR,
fax county court house on June u,
1902. and remained a part OF the ar
chives of the county until it was sto!'
on during the war. In spite OF the ell
forts of historians and patriotic So
cities to locate the document, ttS
whareabouts remained matter oi
, conjecture for half century. Cor
rcspondence with J. Pierpont Morgan
recently. disclosed its presence IN nj;
collection of historical papers.
Under the Thornton act the Cover
nor is directed to cause formal ae
uand to be made on Mr.. Morgan foI
fine return Of the will to the State
Of Virginia. In the event that th'
den and is not complied with in reas
enable time, the bill provides, the Al
tornev-Gencral is authorized and d!
racted to institute suit for its recov
erv in the Supreme Court of tn
United States.
