ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 1.-The
goal for the reorganized chamber of
commerce is 500 members. Dues will
be $25 a year and if the goal is reached
this organization will have an annual
working fund of $4,000. Leaders in the
campaign feel confident the goal will
be attained. The larger firms of the
city will be asked to take plural mem
berships. The campaign committee has
decided that a $4,000 annual fund will
be necessary to finance the new organ
ization. which must have either new
building or adequate headquarters. The
problem of housing probably will be
looked after by a separate department
of the chamber of commerce 1t is

NEW YORK, March 2.-Jules Water

tinents as Doc Waterbury, was ar

the object of an international chase.
He was arrested in London for swind-

| newspaper correspondent and for a
consideration would have pictures and

cluded in a book he said was in prep
araticn. In 1903 he was arrested in
New York and sentenced to eighteen
fmonths in the federal prison at At

| The police of Los Angeles took him
into custody in 1912 on the charge that
| he was implicated in the theft of sS6. 900
worth OF securities from Bancroft & Co.

! jumped his bail on another charge and
the New York police cabled Scotland

MADISON, Wis, March AFTER three
days of parliamentary jockeying the

not be delayed beyond Monday, when
the state assembly. which gradually has

they expected defeat when the resolution

the resolution by a two-to-one vote. it is

House and Senate Leaders Grati6ed at Speed
on Bills, and Strive for Early Adjourn

be a busy one with hard routine work
before both houses. Appropriation
bills will occupy the attention of the
House and Senate, on the floor. while
committees
House and Senate leaders are graft
fled with the progress being made in
legislation and see every promise of
keeping up the stroke until the goal
of a reasonably early adjournment for
the fall elections. The appropriation
bills are in especially good shape for
this stage of the usual Tong" session
and no fault is to be found with the
expedition with which other important
legislation is being handled.
The railroad control bill is in con-
ference and may be sent to the Presi-
dent for his signature before the end
of the week. The war finance bill will
be completed by the Senate probably
tomorrow, and in the meantime the
House committee on ways and means
is working upon the bill concurrently
and probably will bring it in to the
House by Wednesday or Thursday.
