G. A. R. RECEPTION IN
OLD CENSUS BUREAU
Tentative Building Selected for
Opening Night Of Big En-
campment Here.

The grand reception to the veterans
Of the Grand Army of the Republic.
the womens Relief Corps and affil-
lated bodies Of defenders of the ma
ton, on the opening night Of the
fiftieth annual encampment OF the
parent organization here in Septem-
ber will be held in the old Census
Building. First and b streets north
west, unless present plans are
changed.
The suggestion that the reception
be held in the United states Capitol
has been made, but the disadvantages
of this meeting place is the insufficient
seating capacity.
William F. GUIDE, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive comma .ttee in charge OF arrange
ments. today expressed great measure
at the cordial reception given the u. A.
r. committee at the White House yes
terday by the President.
THE magnificent manner in Which the
President greeted our committee Mr.:
GUIDE said. lis indicative of the fact
that the first citizen Of the land Is
deeply interested in the coming re-
union of soldiers and leafs us to the
belief that he will particl lpate in every
way possible in making the visit Of the
warriors to Washington an epochal one.
His acceptance of our invitation to
address the veterans seemed to furnish
him with as much delight as 1t did us.
We are confident that the President al
so will give careful consideration to our
request that he hold a reception In the
White House to the veterans"
The interest taken by Sons of Veter-
ans In the coming reunion is another
source of pleasure to Chairman GUIDE.
1.-THE Sons of Veterans he said,
must take the place of their sires. as
death gradually reduces the line of vet
Grams. and it is fitting that those of tho
National Capital should be in the fore
front of the movement to welcome the
@. A. r. to Washington.
Thte Sons of Veterans of the country
meet in Washington at the same time
that the G.. A. r., reunion Is held, and
Washington members of the organiza-
ton, thus far. are not lrggard in their
forts to prepare for their fellow men,
bers and for the members from whom
they decend.

Illinois Insurgents Hear Plea of
Mrs. Grace W. Front to Re-
main Loyal.

CHICAGO. March 21.-Illinois suf-
fragettes have struck rock held to be
insurmountable.
1t is. Shall we demand full suffrage
and the repeal Of the present lsw. or
shall we let the present law stand until
the next session Of the legislature?"
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president Of
The Illinois Equal Suffrage Association.
which is aligned with the National
body. is unalterably in favor of the
latter. declaring the women can gain
more by not opposing Governor Dunno.
who favors only a constitutional
amendment, at the present time.
Mrs. Trout's stand has brought forth
charges that she has accepted $1,000
from the liquor interests, Toda yshe
denied this assertion and pleaded with
the insurgents to remain loyal to the
Illinois Association.
The insurgents, led by Mrs. Medll
Mccormick, have not been appeased,
however, and are quietly laying plans
for a rival association to the Illinois
body, which also will be directly con-
nected with the national association.

CONCEAL
SINKING OF SUBS"
Nine German Undersea Craft
Said to Have Been Lost in
Two Weeks.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-Passengers
arriving by the Red Star liner Lapland
from Liverpool declare that nine Ger
man submarines have been secretly
sunk or captured by the British within
the past two weeks.
1t is common knowledge in London,
they say, that two German submarines
have been netted at the entrance to
Dover harbor and their crews drowned,
though the admiralty is suppressing
news Of its successes against the sub
marines. The huge chains which form
ed the sunken nets stripped the pro-
pellers and rudders from both under
water boats.
One passenger, who had been In Edin-
burgh, said that the U-22 was sunk In
the mouth of the Firth of Forth two
weeks ago. and that the crew of the
English torpedo boat which accom-
plshed this feat came to Edinburgh
and related their experiences to news
paper reporters. The newspapers, how
ever. were not allowed to print tho
| story.
The port workmen at Liverpool have
spread stories of the sinking of two
German submarines in the waters near
Liverpool. They declare they have talk
oil with the crews of the boats that
| sank the submarines.
The latest rumor in London regard
| ing submarine captures was that an
English crew had seized a German boat
| which supplied oil to the submarines.
| and that when four German submarines
| came to the supply ship the English
Sc zed the crews, made them prison
| ers. and then seized the submarines.
Despite denials at the Red Star line
office in London. the Lapland's pas
sengers confirm a report cabled to New
York ten days ago that the Lapland
| sighted a German submarine as she
was leaving Liverpool and escaped at
| tack by putting to sea at all possible
| speed

Trained Feline Aids
Thief in His RambleS

PHILADELPHIA. March 2l.-Police
Of Germantown are looking for a man
dressed in womans attire and carrying
a trained cat, said to be the latest aid
to sneak thieves. The cat, according
to the police, is loosed by the disguised
man when he pcrsuades a maid to open
the front door in response to his ring.
When he pretends to tel! the maids
fortune the cat is supposed to run
through the house. The owner then
discovers the loss of the animal and
chases after It. In the excitement he
picks up any valuables he finds
The man and cat appeared at the
residence of b. f. Rrevort. The maid
who opened the door spoiled the plan
b. catching the cat before it could get
fairly started. Then she discovered
that the supposed woman owner was
really a man.
