Continued from March 14th. 1885

3rd Member for Christiansted Town
(Fab5o) continuing: Why then should we
be cropping 10 the dark? The Department
of the Interior knows little about our
needs, should we not have everything
plain before as so that we can do what
we think is best for our people? | would
like to see this ordinance progress to
certain stage and let the discussion re-
main open so az to allow time for further
consideration.
t@The Chairman: While am in sympa-
thy with what the last speaker has said
feel it is necessary for US to act prompt
~ on this matter, because the opening of
the new bank depends great deal on the
passage of this ordinance. AS said be-
fore we have to give official recognition
to this matter but, nevertheless, the
Treasury Department and the National
Bank are the interested parties The Of
ficials of the Treasury Department should,
and am sure are looking out for the in
terest of these islands, they are in bet
ter position to do that. 1t is true that if
we had time. there are things which we
think could be changed. we could have
contra opinion expressed. Therefore
feel that while we can amend the bill let
us do so, and we would be within our
rights in so doing. We should do so this
afternoon and expedite the matter for
the sake of the new bank. The old bank
is going and to hamper the opening of the
new bank We would gain nothing; we are
not accommodating the Administration
by passing any of these bills, we are do
ing it for our own good. AS far as | un-
derstand, and my impression also is the
bank is not going to be dominated by the
local Administration. and that is very
gratifying. Mr.. Persons of the Recon

formation as to their theories, init
mated that the note-their one
definite link with the kidnapers-
has revealed important clues.
The note, according to some Of
ficers, probably was the work Of a
middle-aged man of fair educa.
ton and considerable intelligence.
They pointed to the use of the
word Lain" instead Of "laid," com.
monty taught in the schools 80 or
more years ago.
Only one word was misspelled.
Agency" was spelled "agentcy,"
with the 1T" struck over the letter
c. No special significance was at
tached to the misspelling.
BY far the most important clue
to the personality of the author
is believed to be the signature,
"Egoist, EgoiSt."
It was pointed out that the
meaning of egoist is far different
from the more common word
"egotist." An egoist is one who
advocates or practices the doc
trine that places mans chief good
and the supreme end of human
conduct in self, or in the complete
ness or happiness of self, that
makes all virtue consist in the
pursuit of selfish aims"

mail another letter by the same
method.
Although the family refused to
comment, it was learned that the
kidnapers had threatened to put
little George to death If the
100000 demand for his return
was not paid by Wednesday.

Mrs. Mary Branch Names Man
With Whom She Went Riding;
Cannot Explain Cause

CATONSVILLE, Md, May 81.
Beaten over the head with a
blackjack, Mrs. Mary Branch, 1400
block Harvard st. N. w., was
hurled Is feet from a bridge over
the Patapsco River near here
early today, according to police.
Police broadcast a lookout for
a Washington man who, she
charges, struck her and threw her
from his car over the bridge.
Cut and bruised by the fall,
Mrs. Branch crawled or hands
and knees to the home Of Sylves-
ter Cugle, near by. He took her to
Gainesville where she was given
first aid and later returned to
Washington.
Hit on the Head
According to Mrs. Branch, she
and her friend started to drive to
Baltimore early today. When
crossing the bridge, she said, he
stopped the car, drew a blackjack,
struck her on the head, pulled
her from the car and hurled her
over the rail, then drove away.
At the police station here to.
day, Mrs. Branch, with head
heavily bandaged and clad in
clothes provided her by police
men who had borrowed the gar
ments from their wives, gave this
version of her experience:

about eight years. He works
for the street railway company
in Washington. Last night he
told me he had to drive to Bal

borrowed the car from q friend

wanted to 60 along. We left
Washington about 1880 q. m.

however, that he was just fix

"A moment later was
struck q stunning blow on the
temple. Dazed, 1 felt him hit
me again. He must have used

Then he dragged me out Of the
