preparation was likely to be asked
early in 1887.
Committee members said Hopkins
made it plain none Of the new appro-
priation would 60 to the Public Works
Administration or to other big con-
struction projects not specifically au-
thorized by Congress.
He indicated the great bulk Of the
money would be used in continuing
the w. P. A. program Of light con-
Struction for the direct employment of
jobless. Despite his assurances, how
ever, Republican members planned to
demand that the bill carry definite
prohibition against use of the money
for projects that could not be COM
pleted within the year.
See Projects Abandoned.
Hopkins statement that none of the
fund would 60 to the Florida ship
canal or the Passamaquoddy project
was interpreted by some Congressman
as meaning that these projects would
be abandoned unless Congress voted
new money for them.
The Senate recently turned down an
appropriation for the canal, but back
ers of the Maine project did not try
to get vote, expressing the hope fur
ther funds would be available from
relief money. BY executive action,
each of the projects has been alocated
about SIS 100000 from this source, but
the canal is estimated to cost from
$3.50, ,0O0, 900 to 10000, 900, and the
tide project about s30,000,000.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, OF
Michigan, who led the fight against
the two projects, pronounced them
dead" after the Senate vote on the
Florida appropriation.
Although Hopkins had finished his
testimony before the House committee,
he still had to furnish mass of data
asked by the committee members,
chiefly Representatives Bacon and
Taber, New York Republicans.
He was questioned about charges by
Stephen Raushenbush, former chief
of the Senate Munitions Committee
staff, that politics mingled with relief
activities in Pennsylvania. Hopkins

Quebec Man and Elderly
Eccentric Found Dead.

NAMUR, Quebec. April 1o.-was It
murder?
The shocked villagers and the puz-
lied police were still undecided today
as they hunted new clues to the
strange fire that destroyed old Leon
Leclair's home Tuesday morning,
leaving two charred bodies-one of
them only a torso-in the ashes.
Three people lived. there: The 30
year-o!d Leclair, q strange, mysterious
figure in the small towns quiet life; /;
and Mr.. and Mrs. J. Dudevoir, the
man 81 years old, his wife 10 years
younger.
Today the two men are dead, the
woman strangely missing.
See Roof Fall In.
Neighbors saw flames leap from the
newly built home half a mile from
the village early Tuesday morning
They reached the place In time to see
the roof collapse into the fire.
When the ashes cooled they found
A body easily identified as that Of
Leclair because Of fragment Of hi;
long gray beard which the flames hao
not touched. Around the mans neck
had been tied tightly piece of cloth
So taut was it drawn that a part oi
the beard and the wrinkled skin be-
meath 1t had been shielded from the
fire.
That tightly drawn cloth is what
convinces provincial authorities thai
murder may have been done before
the flames all but obliterated the evi.
dence.
The torso was unrecognizable. tt
size, however, has led officers to be.
lieve it was that Of Dudevoir and moi
his wife. The police have not yet de.
termined whether the head and limb.
were destroyed by the flames or were
cut away before the fire began.
Wife Is Missing.
There was no trace of Mrs Dude.
voir and police are not inclined tc
accept the theory that the woman.
body was destroyed by the flames.
The Dudevoirs came here only las
Summer. Leclair had been here fol
several years. First he lived in 9
shack, fishing and doing odd garden.
ing jobs. Later he built house, part
of which was used as temple" where
he conducted services which some oi
the villagers attended.
Finally he built the new home and
the Dudevoirs came to live with him
People presumed the couple had some
arrangement whereby they would care
for Leclair in return for home.

CLOTHING DEALS
Assistant Secretary of War
in 1891 Called by
House Body.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the ASSociated Press.
Frederick Payne. Assistant Secretary
Of War in 1881, was to face the House
Military Affairs Committee today and.
explain conflicting testimony on how
muca he knew of conspiracy to pur-
chase War Department surplus goods
ostensibly for charitable purposes, but
really for the private market.
Lieut.. Col. William r. Gruber told
the committee yesterday that when
reports of the conspiracy reached him
he relayed them to his superiors. He
was at that time working in the office
of Payne, who Monday denied to the
committee he had any inkling Of the
intended diversion.
Proposed by Byers.
Robert ]. Byers, then adjutant for
the Michigan Department Of the
Legion, originally proposed the plan
to the Legion's National Rehabilita-
ton Committee meeting in Washing
ton, Gruber testified It was approved
and passed on to the Military Com
mittee for submission to the War De-
partment.
Byers and a George Kreiger later
we're indicted in the Southern district
of New York for conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government. tried and con-
victed, and the conviction later was
reversed on a technicality. The case
is still pending.
Informed by Silverman.
Gruber told the committee Joe Sill
verman, a dealer in War Department
surplus goods, came to him before
the Military Committee approved the
Legion's plan as submitted by Byers.
Gruber said Silverman informed
him Byers and Kreiger were consid-
ering obtaining surpluses below cost
and diverting them to private busi-
, ness channels.
This information, Gruber said, was
passed on to then Assistant Secretary
Payne and other War Department Of
ficials Gruber said he did not ad-
wise the committee of the situation
when he appeared before it in con-
nection with the American Legion's
plan.
Chairman McSwain insisted 1t was
! Gruber's duty to have advised the
committee of his knowledge of the
| reported conspiracy. Gruber answered
he believed he had performed his duty

Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, April 10. Harry
Meyer. stocky, gray-faced man with
highly impressive dark mustache,
was held here today accused Of max
ing his two daughters Ellen, IA years
old, and Margaret. II, into about the
most accomplished little thieves the
police have run across In some time.
The girls were sent to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
They are dark-haired, dark-eyed,
wistful-looking children whose voices
have become sad and sweet through
three months of insinuating them
selves into the good graces Of busy
housewives on the pretext Of selling
rattle tickets. Once inside an apart
ment. the police say, the sad-eyed little
girls helped themselves to money and
jewelry, stealing at least $1,000 in
three months. They told the police
that their father beat them If they
didn't bring home enough.
The first fearful story they related
to detectives was that their father had
seven children, was on relief and got
only S83 month.
There wasn't enough to eat" they
pleaded sweetly. I'VE had to steal"
Further investigation convinced the
detectives that this was Just tale
the wits Of the two sisters, sharpened
by the necessity of stealing or getting
beaten lavishly. had devised in the
hope of exciting pity. The girls them
selves acknowledged later, according
to the police, that they had become
sharp enough to "gyp the old man."
and, from the terror with which Mey-
er seems to have been regarded in his
own household the detectives think
that meant superlative keenness.
They were supposed, the girls said,
to sell IS books of rafae tickets day;
II they failed, they got beating. The
police say the tickets were quite
worthless and were printed at the
order of Meyer. However, they say,
he insisted on a steady income from
the tickets and whatever valuables his
children might pick up, was so much
velvet.
1t dawned on Ellen and Margaret at
last, the police say, that their father
had no way of knowing how much
cash they might steal, so on q day
when their cash takings were large
and their ticket sales low, they would
divert money that was stolen outright
to the rattle fund and write down fic-
titious names as those of purchasers.
In three months there have been
26 complaints of thefts. which the
police attribute to Ellen and Mar
garet. In every case, say the police,
the woman who missed money or
jewelry reported that two little girls
had been in trying to sell her raffle
tickets.
