RATHB0NE INTRODUCES
LINCOLN MUSEUM BILL
Measure Would Provide 100000
for Improving Old Ford's
Theater.

Legislation for development of a
Lincoln museum in the old Ford The
ater, on Tenth street between e and
f streets, in which President Lincoln
was shot, was introduced today by
Representative Henry r. Rathbone,
Republican, of Illinois, whose parents
were in the box with President Lin
coin on the night of his assassina ton.
The Rathbone bill would place this
museum under the control of the Di-
rector of Public Buildings and
Grounds, and authorizes an appropria-
ton of 100000 for improving the old
theater building, which would be re-
tanned as a historic landmark. AS a
nucleus for the Lincoln museum the
famous Oldroyd collection of Lincoln
lana, which was purchased last year
by the Government, would be depos-
tied i'm the Ford Theater building.
Mr.. Rathbone intends later to intro
duce a similar bill for preservation of
the old Paterson boarding house,
across the street from Ford's Theater,
which is the house in which President
Lincoln died, and in which the Old
royd collection has been housed for
many years as a private museum.

Jury FINDS DEATH
DUE TO STRANCL|NG
Cape May Officials Advised
Miss Clarke, Rich Pittsburgh
Woman, Was Murdered.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CAPE MAY, n. j., January 26.--A
coroner's jury having decided that
Miss Mary S. Clarke, wealthy Pitts
burgh woman, whose frozen body was
found on the beach here January 10,
was murdered, police today intensified
efforts to solve the mystery. Many
persons, including the State police
had held the theory that death was
due to natural causes.
The coroner's jury last night re-
turned a verdict that the woman had
met death "'by strangulation by being
forcibly held face down on the beacn
by person or persons unknown.
Physicians Testify.
DR.. julius Way and DR.. Frank H.
Hughes testified that they had found
more than two tablespoonfuls of beach
sand in the woman's larynx and lungs.
No poisons or other foreign substances
were found in the stomach. Both doc-
tors said it was possible the bruises
on her cheek and arms were made
bv an assailant while her face was
being held in the sand. DIR. Hughes,
however, expressed the opinion that
the marks could have been made While
Miss Clarke was stumbling about the
ice on the beach during a blizzard.
Robbery Supposed Motive.
Robbery is believed by the authorl-
ties to have been the motive for the
staying. Reports that Miss Clarke,
who had been in Washington a few
davs before her death. had purchased
$35, 900 worth of negotiable securities
in that city and that she also carried
a large amount of cash nck verifica-
ton. Her pocketbook, found near her
body, contained only So cents In cash
and q railroad mileage book
Coroner William X. Thompson testl-
fed that "blonde woman" was un-
der suspicion.

BILL TO BUY LAND
FOR STREET URGED
Measure Is Step in Plan to
Make C Street Northeast
100 Feet Wide.

Chairman Zihlman of the House
District committee today introduced
a bin at the request of the DlStrlct
Commissioners to direct the lnStltu-
ton of condemnation proceedings FOR
ACQUISITION of strip of land 40 feet
wide on the south side of street
between North Carolina avenue ana
Twenty-first street northeast through
five city squares. The director OF the
budget has informed the District Com
miSsioners that this measure Is not
in conflict with the financial program
of the President.
The Zihlman bill provides that If the
amount found to be due and awarded
by the jury in condemnation proceed
ings as damages plus the cost and
expenses of the proceeding is greater
than the amount of benefits assessed.
then such excess amount shall be paid
out of the revenues of the District.
The appropria ton contained in the
District appropriation act for the cur
rent fiscal year for opening, extension
or widening of streets and avenues is
made available to pay the awards and
expenses under the bill introduced
today.
Commissioner Daugherty explained
that North Carolina avenue between
c street and Anacostia Park has been
eliminated from the highway plan by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and it is proposed to
make c street between North Caro-
lima avenue and the park 160 feet
wide. c. street is now so feet wide,
but the highway plan has been modi-
fed so as to take 40 feet from the
north side. For such condemnation the
Commissioners now have ample au-
thority
The widening of c street to 100
feet is considered by the Planning
Commission as very desirable in order
to afford a boulevard entrance to
Anacostia Park. 1t is estimated that
the total cost of acquiring the land
on the south side of c street will be
$40, 900 to $4,000, which will be re-
turned by assessment of benefits.

jLAFAYETTE'S CAREER NEARLY
ENDED AT BARREN HILL ATTACK
Old Map at Library of Congress Reveals
Noted Frenchman Escaped Net of
British Barely in Time

troops started toward Barren Hill in
two detachments, with the object Of
cutting off Lafayette and capturing
his poorly armed and equipped forces
"a defeat which would have been
almost a death blow to the colonies.
Howe and Clinton marched almost
directly north by the way Of the Rich
road as it is marked on the map.
Another British force, under Gen.
Grant. marched northwest from Ger
nantoWn.
The sentries fell back at the ap-
proach of th/ enemy. Lafayette found
himself surrounded on three sides,
with the Schuylkill River cutting him
off from retreat in the other direction.
The British. however, evidently were
unaware that they outnumbered the
cOlonists almost two to one.
Saved by Strategy.
Lafayette seeing himself cut off
and hopelessly outnumbered. had only
one hope Of escape-by putting up a
successful bluff with a handful of
troops while he got the main body Of
his troops across the river. This
strategy was carried out successfully,
and when the British became aware
of what was afOOt the great body of
the enemy already were safe over the
Schuylkill and on their way to join
Washington at Valley Forge.
Another of these maps, evidently
drawn by a French officer on the
scene, shows the positions of the Brit
ish and Colonial troops in the Battle
of Monmouth, n. j., on June e, 1778,
when the American Army, under
Washington, defeated the British, un-
der Clinton.
Notable among the maps from the
historians point of view are those
which show the positions of the
French fleet in the West Indies, and
also before Boston and Savannah.
The operations of Count d'Estaing in
the West Indies have constituted one
of the obscure chapters in the history
of the American War for Indepen.
