V 1 w railroad wreck draws to a close evidence of a startling character as to the risks human life and limb are subjected to by reason of incompetent employes and a stretchable and enigmatic block system has been J brought into the limelight. The questioning of the many witnesses has been deftly accomplished and the public has learned much of the unwritten methods of railroad com f? ?i i panics hi uaimg iui uic luhuuu anu safety of their patrons. It has been shown that a few electric dots and dashes of the telegraph wrongly given or wrongly interpreted by an inexperienced operator mean perhaps the crashing together of two trains crowded with human itv in a "head-on collision or tlie smashing of passenger coaches into splinters, as was the case at Terra Cotta, by a "hind-end" sniashup, as it is expressed in the parlance of the men of the iron rail. The jury retired at 3 :o2 o'clock lite attornnnn tn rrmcirl^r n vPrrlirt Whatever may be the verdict of the coroner's Jury, the public has learned several salutary lessons that, it is apparent, will not soon be forgotton. The wide divergence of statements of the witnesses suggested to Coroner Nevitt that perjury was being resorted to by witnesses for some ulterior Durpose, while the testimony today again shows a serious blunder in signals and that a second disaster was narrowly averted the fateful Sunday evening, December

Pnf^rrinir tn an nnr.ry tnr in nrhnoo hondo the lives of hundreds of people have been Intrusted, another operator declared, according to testimony today: "I've got the clear from Silver Spring, but 1 don't feel any too sure of that kid down there." Juryman Oscar Rieketts also brought out that a certain operator was "considered a novice" and was inexperienced, and that messages had to be repeated to him. These statements and other nerve-racking testimony late this afternoon were about to go to the jury for its determination as to where to place the responsibility for the killing of nearly half a hundred men, women and children, and the maimintr of many others. Beginning of the End. With the on rule?" "I do not know whether it is required by written rule?but it is a regularly understood duty of operators." Carrying further inquiry into the case of train 1> which was brought into promSnence yesterday by the statement of Engineer Peer tha.' he had been admitted into the block between Kensington and Silver Spring when another train had not cleared at Silver Spring, thus narrowly averting another wreck the same night as the disaster at Terra Cotta, Coroner Nevitt called William Moore, the operator at Kensington, to the witness stand. CiVnnlr, vuuiuaiuii u i wiguaia. After preliminary questioning concerning the time train 'Mi and extra 2120 passed his station, the coroner asked Moore whether there had ever been confusion of signals between himself and the operator at Silver Spring, particularly during the time Ouerator lmtrow was serving at the latter station. Answering generally that 1 laif r. .u> Kin'm.il t I'l }.lu U'if tu-tfu Hold young operator, like all beginners, underBtood figures much better than messages. "What time did No. 18 enter your block Bundav niirht?" "At n.m "What signal did you give?" "1 stut)red him with a red block." "What time did you let No. 18 into the block "t?:44 o.m." "Had vou received a confirmation that the l>lock was clear from Silver Spring?" "Yes. but 1 told th*j engineer to go down there carefully because I had my doubts about tbe other engine or train being out of the block. Mv words to him were: 'I can't hold you any longer iK-cause I've got the clear from Silver Soring but 1 don't feel any too sure of that kid down there.' "Are you sun vou had confirmation from bnver Soring?" tainlv How l?e eould 1 have opened the block to No. IN." M"ure was asked further about the lat e. t houi lit heard fr jm the operator at Randolph Sund iv evening, and he read from the tiSj k sheet the hour, Tli it. lie .-aid. was the time he thought eiitra '.'lJu passed Randolph, but added he had heard later that the operator, Matthews. left Randolph before "2l'M entered the block Moore could not be positive, however, whether the time entered on his re ord indi a ted the time passed Ro kvllle or Randolph. Somewhat of a Novice. "Would you consider Dutrow somewhat of a novice?" Juror Rlcketts queried. "Yen." Why?" "Well. because of las general actions? Ometlmci lie wouid only get part of a message and sometimes he would not get any of it, so that the whole thing would have to be repeated." "Have you ever heard from trainmen whether Dutrow displayed a wrong signal?" "Well?indirectly." "Can you remember from whom such re- port was received?" "No." "How long ago was that?" "About a month, I would say." "Dutrow was not at Silver Spring then, was he?" "No. I think hc was either at Randolph or Rockville." Mr. Moore was excused and Operator Dutrow was recalled. lis otaff nf T* UU ap^IUlIILCU JUU IV IHVV u>-w? operators of the Baltimore and Ohio?" Coroner Nevitt questioned. "Mr. W. A. McCauiey." "Did he give you a practical test on the telegraph key?" "Not at that time, but he has subsequently." "What did that test consist of?" "About twenty-five or thirty words a minute." "How long ago was that examination?" "About a year." "Has Mr. McCauiey tested you since that time?" "Not on telegraphy." "Where did you work before you went with the Baltimore and Ohio?" "Hn th** Atlantic f'nast Un^?" "In what capacity?" "As agent and telegrapher." "Where did you first work as block operator?" "At Boyd's, on the Baltimore and Ohio, when I was posting up." Replying to other questions Dutrow named other stations on the Baltimore and Ohio where he worked previous to substituting at Silver Spring. From his block sheet Dutrow was re- quested to give the time extra 2652 entered I and passed his station. The operator hesi- tated a moment and Operator Moore was recalled, and to the request to interpret the entries on the record, said it indicated extra 2652 into the block at Kensington at 9:20 p.m.. and passed Silver Spring, eastward bound, at 9:35. Movement of Train 18. "How did train 18 get into the block at Kensington?" asked the coroner. "I do not know, unless the operator allowed him to enter," witness replied. "As a matter of fact didn't you give Kensington confirmation on 2652?" "How could 1 when 2652 was still standing on the truck? I do not remember sending any such message." "Does not your own sheet show that t 2652 entered the block at Kensington at I i):20 and cleared at Silver Spring at 0.35?" 1 "Yes, I believe it does, but I don't re- member reporting 2(352 as being 'last east.' I may have given Kensington the time when 2*152 was still standng at my station." Asked how he could explain the matter, Dutrow said he knew it was contrary to J rui "I suppose so. but X don't know for sure." "Did you know Randolph as a station when you saw it?" "Yes, sir." Questioning Hildebrand, the coroner asked him if he manifested the same apparent Indifference to other signals along the line Sunday night as he did at Randolph. "Did you blow an answer to the signal at Randolph when, you say, your fireman told you it was all right "Yes," Hildebrand replied. "Did you blow an answer to any other 1 signal that night solely on your fireman's word?" "Yes. at Forest Glen." "Why was that?" "Because there is a curve at Forest Glen and the tiremun can see the signal ..iere before the engineer." Juryman's Query. Juryman RUketts interjected this question: "Mr. McClelland, did you see the signals (Continued on Sacond Page.) THINKS HEWAS RIGHT Secretary Hitchcock Claims His Action Was Justified. ikiniati i min uiiTunoaim AI IliLHHIV L.HIVU ?*i i nunmuHL Legal Opinion on the Subject Has Been Prepared. WILL GO TO COMMITTEE TODAY Alleged Precedent for the Course of the Head of the Interior Department. Secretary Hitchcock of the Department of the Interior, at his own request, appeared today before the special Senate committee ivhich has investigated citizenship and property rights of the five civilized tribes of Indians. It had been announced that the Swretarv's tiurnose was to exulain what lie believed to be his statutory authority for withdrawing four million acres of Inlian lands from allotment In' order to create the forest reservation asked for by Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Hitchcock declined to state his luthority to the committee, but said that lis legal department had prepared a report which would be made to Congress and that this report would justify the course he had taken. All of the members of the special committee differed from Mr. Hitchcock and Snally he agreed to send the report to the :ommlttee today, but he declined to answer questions relating- to the character of the report beyond declaring that he had found legal authority for his action in l-ilhiirQ a- inff tho lanrla in tha fona nf nn onf i>f Congress ordering that the lands be jpened to allotment. Mr. Hitchcock's Reasons. When the committee was called to order e ready tomorrow. He explained that he vas not ready today for the reason that he lad not received the report of Secretary iVilson as to the desirability of creating he forest reserve until yesterday. "What bearing can the report of the Secetajy of Agriculture have upon the legalty of your action?" asked Senator Branderee i wo separate questions are invoiveu, 1 iitow," said Mr. Hitchcock, "but they are K) closely interwoven that Congress should lave the benefit of both reports." "It was a very startling thing to think hat the Interior Department or any other lepartment coy Id defy an act of Congress tnd suspend an affirmative order, as was lone in withdrawing this land," said Sena,or Clark of Wyoming, "and I should like to lave your authority for it. I think I voice he opinion of the other members of the :ommittee." Judge Campbell's Opinion. Mr. Hitchcock replied that he believed Mr. Campbell had found a precedent, and V?r? oj-.rwl l.ir IC YYUUIU UC (jiau IU OCJIU illO 1 UJJU1 L IU v^uu?ress. Mr. Clark answered that he had not been able to find any precedent, much less any law, warranting the withdrawal. He declared that the action of the department in dealing with public lands formed no precedent for dealing with lands held in fee simple by Indians. "If your investigation should gonvince you that the withdrawal should be permanent, what action would you take?" asked Mr. Clark. "That Is a matter not for the department, but for Congress." replied the Secretary. He added that It was his purpose to give Congress the facts so that Its own action could be modified If It were thought wise. "But suppose that Congress should not modify its action, would you then withHro tx- vnnr nrHor'" ncrai et nrl Mr Plarlr "I cannot say," replied the Secretary, "I have not considered that question." Pressed further for a statement of his position. Mr. Hitchcock said that he had received a report from the Secretary of Agriculture recommending that the size of the proposed reservation be reduced and pending action on that report he did not care to discuss the subleet with the committee in an Informal manner. He said that when he gave consideration to Secretary Wilson's report he would modify his own order as to the amount of land to be withheld from allotment. The Secretary Taken to Task. Senator Brandegee took the Secretary to casK ior nis lauure iu answer me questions and for his proposal to send to Congress his report as to his legal authority for the withdrawal. The senator said this Information had been asked for by the committee and not by Congress, and in accordance with authority issued by the Senate. Senator Clark hastened to assure Secretary Hitchcock that his motives In withdrawing the land were not questioned, but that his authority should be presented at once. He opposed further delay on the ground that the report ot the special committee should be presented at an early date to the Senate. Mr. Teller's Comment. "I think I know the law on the subject now. but 1 should like to receive your apinlon," said Senator Teller. Later, when it was suggested that the Secretary immeJiately send for the report of Judge Campbell so that the Secretary might be questioned concerning it, Mr. Teller said that he did not believe any views held by the committee would change the opinion of Mr. Hitchcock. Mr. Clark thought there was a chance of getting the Secretary to cancel his order withdrawing me iana 11 tne views 01 trie committee were properly presented to him. "No, it does not appear likely," replied Mr. Teller. During this conversation Mh Hitchcock made no comment. Then Mr. Teller said he thought the only way to get Mr. Hitchcock to change his action would be by an act of Congress. "I should not like the committee to feel impelled to take that course," said Chairman Clark slowly. Secretary Hitchcock remained unmoved, but said rather sharply: "You shall have the report of Mr. Campbell today." After a brief examination of Gifford Pinchot. crlef forester, who denied a published Interview In which he was made to say that legal authority had been found for the withdrawal of the land, the committee adjourned to await the receipt of the information promised by Mr. Hitchcock. Another Alleged Illegal Act. Senator Carter presented a resolution In the Senate today, which, he said, he should discuss at an early day and endeavor to show that the Secretary of the Interior acteJ without authority when he published an order on December 18 ast prohibiting I the issuance of land patents to homestead entrymen under all laws, regardless of the conditions. "I intend to make it plain to the Senate" said Mr. Carter, "that that order was illegal and unwarranted and -was issued and is being executed in violation of law and that the records of the larfd office styow that the issuance of the order Is wholly indefensible." The resolution presented expresses the sentiment that a duly qualified entryman is, in the absence of contests or fraud or mistake, legally entitled to a patent for the land embraced In his entry. The resolution would reach, also, cases where patents have been refused by the Secretary on the ground that he suspected the entries were made by a number of per sons in the interest of one holding corporation or "land grabbers." It would compel the land department to prove its suspicions by effectual prosecution or to issue patent. BURNHAM'S SUCCESSOR HE MAY BE RETURNEE FOR A SECOND TERM. CONCORD. N. H..

CINCINNATI, Ohio, January 9.-Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul will be entertained the latter part of this month at the home of Bellamy Storer, former ambassador to Vienna. That the intimate relations existing for many years between Ireland and the Storer family have not been disturbed by the controversy between tne Storers and President Roosevelt is iniifato/i by the fact that the Storer home is being put into shape to entertain the archbishop. The Storers are at present a: the home of Mrs. Storer's son, Joseph Longworth Nicho'.s, Saranac Lake, N. Y., but they will return in the course of a few days.

SCRANTON, Pa., January 9.?There is no longer hope of putting a quick end to the typhoid fever epidemic in Scranton. Up to noon today there were nearly twenty cases reported, the total number being about one thousand and twenty-five, with about a hundred deaths. Orders continue to come from the bureau of health, ami flip ritv practically under martial law. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of a great many people, and the police have been instructed to arraign without warrant people who refuse to comply with the new sanitary regulations.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE No Chinese Labor Needed on the Canal. COLORADO RIVER BREAK Senator Flint Discussed This With the President. THE JAPANESE SCHOOL CASE Government Will File Its Action in the Federal Courts Some Time Next Week. Senator Flint and Representative Steenerson of the congressional committee that wont to Panama to investigate conditions in the canal region, called upon the President today. The President intends to have a long talk with Senator Flint later on. The California senator declares that Chinese labor will not be needed on the canal. "A splendid class of labor is now being used on the canal," said Senator Flint, "and there is promise of all that is needed of the same kind. It is Spanish, and the men have proven the best of laborers. They come from near the French and Spanish borders; are big, healthy fellows, willing to work. They are reaching the isthmus at the rate of about 1,000 a month and many more of them are under contract for work. They do more and better work than the Jamaican negroes or the Chinese, and I see no reason why Chinese will have to be used on the canal." The Colorado River Break. President Roosevelt is gathering information for a special message to Congress on the disastrous break in the Colorado river. Senator Flint discussed the situation there with the chief executive.

Morton, war governor of Indiana, and the soldiers of the civil war. He had recently been reading a history of Gov. Morton, he said, and considered the war governor of Indiana one of the greatest men of* the civil war period. The people of Natchez, Miss., who are to hold a Mardi Gras celebration next month, are anxious to have a man of war in the harhnr fit tha tlmn This desire was presented to the President today by Representatives Williams and Humphreys of Mississippi.

President Roosevelt expects to transmit, to Congress early next week, possibly Monday or Tuesday, the additional evidence procured in Brownsville, Tex., by Assistant Attorney General Purdy. showing the participation of the 25th Infantry in the shooting of persons and destruction of property in that city. Strong affidavits secured by Mr. Purdy establish beyond doubt the fact. It will be claimed, that the negro soldiers attacked the town and its citizens and that the soldiers were recognized by a number of people. The affidavits will contradict the assertion that white men with blackened faces committed the crimes. Mr. Willard at the White House. Mr. E. S.

Nevertheless there is a suspicion that the campaign against the bandit chief is practically ended, and that the war minister has no intention of proceeding against the pretender, as the presence in the north of Raisuli and the pretender would furnish the Moroccan government with a convenient excuse for not meeting its obligations. MB. CORTELYOUS NOMINATION. Why His Confirmation by the Senate Has Been Delayed. The confirmation of Mr. Cortelyou as Secretary of the Treasury now hangs upon the receipt of some definite Information by the Senate committee on finance concerning his resignation as chairman of the national republican campaign committee. It was the lack of such information in an authoritative form that caused the committee to delay action on the nomination. The uicuiiA:io vi tiic wiuauncc uau ucai u ui Mr. Cortelyou's resignation by newspaper report, but they considered It desirable to have a statement from Mr. Cortelyou himself or from some one else who would be in a position to know the facts of the case before confirming the nomination. Both democrats and republicans agTeed that it would be highly improper to have the position of Secretary of the Treasury filled by the chairman of a campaign committee. In the absence of such a resignation by Mr. Cortelyou his nomination would be fouelit vigorously by the democrats, and he would receive but weak, if any, republican support. But as soon as his resignation is received it is likely there will be no further opposition and that the nomination will be promptly confirmed. GEN. WOOD TO RETURN. Will be Relieved From the Philippines About March 1. MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, who went to ine fnmppines in me spring 01 inw, win be relieved of command of the Division of the Philippines abqut the 1st of March and assigned to the command of one of the military departments in the United States. The important command of the Division of the Atlantic at New York will be vacated in April next by the statutory retirement of Gen. James F. Wade, the senior major general in the arniy. Gen. Wood will undoubtedly succeed to that command, except in the unexpected event that Lieut. Gen. MacArthur, now commanding the Pacific Division at San Francisco, should desire a transfer to New York. It is not yet settled who will succeed Ijen. W oou in cuuiniiiiiu ui intr <11 my 111 me Philippines, but the impression prevails that Maj. Gen. John F. Weston, now commanding the Department of Luzon, will get the detail. It has been rumored that Maj. Gen. Ainsworth, military secretary, was booked to succeed Gen. Wood at Manila, but the rumor lacks verification. A precedent for such action was afforded in the case of Gen. Corbin, who commanded the Philippines Division while he held the office of adjutant general.. The latter office has been superseded by the office of mill tary secretary. Uen.

"HANGMAN" PAVLOFF TERRORISTS' VICTIM -w w w -w -w W Assassinated While Walking in a Military Garden. SEVEN SHOTS IN THE BODY Policeman Who Attempted to Arrest Assassin Also Murdered. ACCOMPLICE AMONG ATTACHES Crime Appears to Be the Result of a Well-Laid Plot?Career of Dead Man. ST. PETERSBURG. January ?.-Lleut. Gen. Vladimir Pavloflf, the military procurator or advocate general, generally known since the days of the late parliament as "Hangman Pavloff," from the epithet constantly applied to m by the radical deputies, was shot and killed at 10 o'clock this morninar while walklne- in garden of the chief military court building, near the Moika canal. The ass.issin, who was disguised its a workman, was captured after a long chase through the crowded city streets, during which he tiled about .orty shots from two revolvers which he carried, killing a policeman and wounding a small boy. Executed Deliberately. The crime was executed deliberately and showed evidence of ihe same careful preparation which was characteristic of the murders of Gens. Ignatieff and Von Der i.iunltz. and undoubtedly was carried out by the same organization which, it is reported, has sentenced Emperor Nicholas and several of the ministers to death. The assassin, who wore the uniform of a military clerk attached to the court, succeeded in obtaining an entrance to the garden under the pretext of submitting a report to the military procurator. He approached the unsuspecting general within arms' length, drew an automatic nistol and discliar^i?d Tlw whnl?* lii-.fi seven shots, into Uavloff's body. Every shot was well aim<-d, and two of them tore a gaping wound in his breast, from which the general expired while being carried to his apartmonts, which were located In the same building. With Flattened Bullets. From the nature of the wounds it appeared that the steel-Jacketed buliets were flattened in their ends in preparation for the crime, in order that they might inflict more serious n-ounds. Hastily slipping another "clip" of cartridges Into his revolver and drawing a second weapon, the assassin rail across the parden to the carriage entrance, threatened the porter with his pistols rind dashed down Glinka street, past the Imperial opera house, with a crowd of thirty house porters and court attaches In close pursuit. Policeman Shot Down. A nnlioamin cf In frunf nf t ha A CIIIUIl .IIUIIUII'.U *11 ItUItt V/l kllV opera house attempted to seize the asstissin, but was shot down by the latter, who turned and opened Are on his pursuers, wounding a boy. The assassin then resumed his tiight through the streets, firing at the police officers and house porters who attempted to bar his way. When his ammunition became exhausted he was intercepted and captured at Lantern lane. The entire career of Gen. Pavloff was in the judicial department of the army. After serving several years as a military Judge he was appointed Judge advocate general of the war ministry and later procurator of the supreme military court. Dubbed a Hangman. Gen. PavlolT sprang into national prominence when he was delegated by War Minister Rediger to answer the interpellations of the government in the lower house of parliament in regard to courts-martial and executions in the Baltic provinces and in Poland. The military procurator justified these with such cold-bloodedness and disregard of the sentiments of the members that it aroused the indignation of almost the entire house, and he was driven from the rostrum with cries of "Murderer," "Hangman," "Assassin." When the general next appeared' In the house he was not allowed to speak ana was tnreaieneo wun personal violence. The murdered general was a large land owner. After the dissolution of parliament he organized the Protective Political League, with the object of combating the Radical projects for the expropriation of landed estates, and participated actively in the present electoral campaign. The police have established that a youth who was killed at the Grand Hotel here yesterday after he had made a bonfire of his papers and started firing a revolver through the door of his room was a member of the same terroristic organization which has carried out the recent assassin auons, ami nau ih-i-ii ueiaiicu III. .I puuuai missh/n. But the authorities have not been able to ascertain who was the youth's intended victim, as delay In storming his room gave him time to destroy almost all his papers. The Information which the serial revolutionists have been able to acquire of the movements of its marked victims Indicates the existence of widespread treachery in the military court, and the greatest alarm is felt in official circles, where, it is believed, that a reign of terror In St. Petersburg has begun. The assassin of Gen. Pavloflf was apparently Informed by an accomplice among thp pnnrt attaches that the Keneral was in the garden at that hour, as the garden is entirely inclosed, and today is a holiday and the military procurator was not following his usual routine. Gen. Pavloff belonged to the legal rather than to the fighting arm' of the service. He was bitterly hated by the radical element of the duma. He had to render a number of reports during the recent sitting of parliament, and was never allowed to speak peacefully, being hissed, hooted and interrupted by the radical deputies. He was the Judge advocate of the court that tried the mutineers of Oronstadt. and is accused of having he d up the reprieves of several of them, allowing them to be executed in accordance with their original sentence. He was attached to a large number of other courts-martial, where his severity had won him the general enmity of the opposition forces. Marlboroughs Are Separated. Special Cablegram to The Star.

Receiving the right of way for his serve pension bill in the Senate today Mr. IcOumber expressed the desire that the leasnre should receive general discussion, ;i view of the fact that the Brownsville natter had gone over. Mr McCuniber said there were few periods who will not concedo that at some >eriod after the close of the civil war a ;e.neral service pension bill should be enicted, and some think it should have been muted ten years ngn. There was, he said, /greater obligation to the survivors of the ivil war than to the Survivors of any other vfcr in the history of this nation. The ifnoiint of pensions which were being paid the young veterans of the Spanish war, vlr. Met'umber said, was entirely out of roportlon. He opposed the suggestion vhlcli lie said had been made for a flat rate .f t\i to those who had reached the age if slxiy. The Probable Cost. Mr Mct'umber estimated that the added oo?t to the government because of the increases provided for in his bill would not cKiwil $t>.1(00,000 annually, although :it* gave the estimate of the commissioner of pensions made a year agv> as $10,714,000 annually. Senator Scott heartily indorsed the bill and emphasized the necessity for the proposed legislation. Me had, he said, advocated si rn i l.i r propositions for several >ears. Incidentally, he said, an example to the Senate in th? matter was the fact that l?y .state legislation the old soldier of the south who wore the gray was being tared for better than the soldier who wore the blue. He congratulated the south on this policy. Senator Warner suggested that some steps he taken to get the present bill on Its passage, "so that we can do something o?>re than make speeches.'' Mr. McCumber's Hope. Mr \i, 'nniher said it was his intention to pdeavor to get the bill raade the "unftn-ilied business" to follow the present bill mvlng that status, and he should then en.'retvor to get a definite date fixed for a vote. Saying lie was not at war with the presnt legislation. Senator Gallinger mainlined that we as a nation have been exremely generous to the men who served in i>?. armv In all our wars, he said. 4.-M!0,000 i:en ha-! been unlisted, and of those per ent had served in (he civil war and 31 per (Mil in all other wars. A total of had been paid in pensions, of which per cent had pone to civil war veterans. Mr CSallinRer advocated a flat rate of $12 w month to all veterans of the civil war. At the conclusion of the debate Mr. Mc'nmlier secured unanimous consent to take j >fte hill up Friday next. when, the opinion j ?'ss expressed, a vote might t>e taken. DEATH OF DR. SIMON GR00T.

"Not seeing any signal, would you have said It was all right?" "No. sir; and I don't remember saying It." A^ked a point blank question whether he knew anything about the rule of the Baltimore and Ohio which specifies that the absence of a signal at any station where a target is supposed to be displayed operates the same as a?red or "stop" signal. McClelland answered that he knew nothing about such a rule. Superintendent of Transportation Gallo way was placed on the stand and questioned by Deputy Coroner Ulazebrook In part as follows: "You have heard most of the evidence offered at this case?" "Yes. sir." "Can you say what rules of your company, If any, have been violated by the operatives of the road?" "Yes; apparently they have all been violated." Required to specify, he detailed rule 13, relating to the use of cross-overs. Asked to name the operatives and crews who have been guilty of violation, Mr. Galloway retorted with the query: "Do I understand you want me to define the responsibility for the accident?" "No. name the crews which vio'ated specific rules." Proceedings Late Yesterday.

Sergt. Murphy continued his testimony and said he asked Hlldebrand whether it was not a mistake to run a fast extra train behind a slower moving local. "He said he supposed It was." witness continued, "but that he was not responsible for his orders." "I asked him If he should not have stopped at Takoma when it was so near to the closing hour." Serpt. Murphy added, "and he replied If he had stopped and another train had come along and struck him. the first thing the officials would have asked him would have been 'why had he stopped there when he knew Takoma wa? closed at C:30?' Sergt. Murphy related another story told to him by Engineer Vermillion to the effect that a red signal was set against train Gfi Saturday night at Silvor Spring. "Vermillion said he stopped and sent his flagman back, and found that a mistake had Doy Charles Walden of Terra Cotta. Repeating a conversation he had with Engineer Vermillion. Walden testified the latter said he was Just slowing up at Terra Cotta station to get some passengers and that It was a good thing they did not get on. Walden said the last coach of the extra, after the wreck, was stopped about 300 yards east of the Terra Cotta station Dlatform. William Rldgway. fifteen years of age, was among: the people standing on the platform at Terra Cotta when the collision occurred. He did not remember hearing a noise of any kind until he found himself lying alongside the switch below the station. Ridgway said the first thing he did was to run for doctors. John Frazier. fourteen years of age. was also at Terra Cotta station. He heard no whistle blown before the wreck by the approaching extra. Fifty Miles an Hour. Samuel H. Styles of Philadelphia testified he was a dinner guest at Stott's, and he escorted others to the train and put them aboard. He was Just returning when the extra rushed past. He estimated the speed of that train at fifty miles an hour. George H. Burgess of Rlggs road, D. C., told about putting Mrs. Barnes and the latter's daughter, Estelle. aboard train 60 at Stott's. "My nephew and I were no more than thirty feet away from the station when the extra passed." he said, "and 1 cried, Our folks are gone.' Burgess said he was in the act of looking at his watch when the second train passed Stott's. and It showed exactly . Engineer Thomas B.

Before reaching the end of the block, he said, lie was stopped by the (lagman of a riggers' train. "Was the white signal at Kensington a proper one with another train in the block?" asked the coroner. "No. sir." What was the cause of the erroneous signal being shown?" "I do not know. The operator at Silver Spring claimed he had told Kensington the block was not clear. I understand the Kensington operator says he did receive report of a clear block from the Silver Spring man." Continuing. Peer =aid: "I asked the operator at Silver Spring how he eair.e .to let me in ?t Kensington under the clear.

A letter was presented to the President today, one paragraph of which was of particular interest as having a bearing from the viewpoint of the railroad men on the J^a Follette bill, on which a vote wiH be taken tomorrow. The letter was signed by H. R. 1 uller, the secretary of the Joint committee of engineers, firemen and trainmen which recently met, and Is attested by E. E.

The letter was as follows: At a conference between Grand Chief Engineer Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Grand Master Hannahan of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, Grand faster Morrissey of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Grand Chief Conductor Clark of the Order of Railroad Conductors, Mr. H. R. Fuller was again selected as legislative representative lor the above-named organizations. The undersigned were instructed by this conference to respectfully request that, if it has not already been done, you invite the attention of Congress to the following matters of legislation in which the railroad em-ploycs are vitally interested, and on some of which they have long sought fa vorable action: Firsl?What is commonly termed "antlInJ unction legislation." We still favor the enactment of a law which will prohibit the issuance of Injunctions in labor disputes, except after hearing. Second?Employers' liability.?We feel that there is great need for soini legislation on this subject." We realize the difficulties, if not the Impossibility, of eliminating the doctrine of "contributory neguj gence;" and while our representatives will j seek to have reintroduced the measure that was before the last Congress, we shall be i ready to meet such reasonable amendments i thereto as may appear to be necessary. Third?We think the attention of the Congress should be called to the Importance j j of preventing railroad companies from I I keeping employes on duty so many consecu- I j tlve hours as to render it simply Impossible I for them to perform with efficiency and i safety the duties devolving upon them and j upon the faithful performance or which so much depends. At 2 o'clock the Senate took up the bill to limit the hours of service of railway employes. and Senator I,a Folleite spoke in favor of the measure.

He declares that It would greatly facilitate the prompt notation of the damages and benefits upon the records of the special assessment division if the two statements could be combined. giving In parallel columns the number of each lot or part of lot and the namM of owners at the date of the rendition of the verdict. The suggestion has met with the approval of Commissioner West and is being considered by the other two Commissioners for adoption. i More Pay for Congressmen.

Some perrons who. according to Admiral Balrd. gave certain Information to a member of the board, which influenced that member against Cardoso, have since refused to appear before the hoard at a trial and testify to these alleged facts. "That is the sort of thing we are up against.' continued the president of the hoard, "but I guess will pull through nil right. Things look brighter for us every day." Admiral Baird. in his conversation with Tin* Star reporter, referred to the hearing at the Capitol yesterdax on the Oreene school bill and deplored the fact that the discussion should have taken an acrimonious turn. He said he considered It unfortunate that certain remarks were made in the manner emplo\ed and that he had tried to smooth thines nver to the ln-ni <?f his ability.

The stenographic report of yesterday s hearing will not be in print until the latter part of the week, and Representative Greene is anxious to be able to present this record to the members of the District committee when the subcommittee report an the Greene bill Is put In. There will probably not be time enough to get out the report even If it were desired to lay It before the committee without the testimony of yesterday. So It is the present Intention of Messrs. Morrell and Greene to let the bill lie over until tlie meeting of the District commi.tee a week from tomorrow. The subcommittee managed to finish th?

FOR WAR VETERANS SENATOR McCUMBER URGES A SERVICE PENSION BILL. Senator Gallinger Advocates a Flat Rate of $12 a Month- 1lJ*; Receiving the right of way for hla service pension bill In the Senate today Mr. McCumber expressed the desire that the measure should receive general discussion. In vl?w of the fact that this Brownsville matter had gone over. Mr. McCumber said there were few persons who will not concede that at some period after the close of the civil war a general service pension bill should be enacted, and some think It should have been enacted ten years ago. There was, he said, a greater obligation to the survivors of the civil war than to the survivors of any other war In the history of this nation, 'ine amount of pensions which were being paid to the young veterans of the Spanish war, Mr. MeCumber said, was entirely out of proportion. He opposed the suggestion which he said had been made for a flat rate of $12 to those who had reached the age of sixty. The Probable Cost. 1 ?n M?a* fho .nrldM nar. fliuv uuiucr t-suiuuKu v..~ cost to the government because of the Increases provided for in his bill would not exceed $6,000,000 annually, although lie gave the estimate of the commissioner of pensions made a year ago as $10,714,000 annually. Senator Scott heartily indorsed the bill ond emphasized the necessity for the proposed legislation. He had, he said, advocated similar propositions for several years. Incidentally, he said, an example to the Senate In the matter was the fact that by state legislation the old soldier of the south who wore the gray was being cared for better than the soldier who wore the blue. He congratulated the south on this policy. Senator Warner suggested that some steps be taken to get the present bill on Its passage, "so that we can do something more than make speeches." Mr. McCumber'? Hope. 1 T?-oa v?l?a intention to INir.

Saying he was not at war with the present legislation. Senator Gallinger maintained that we as a nation have been extremely generous lo the men who served In the army. In all our wars, he said. 4,4 men had been enlisted, and of these ?K? per cent had served In the civil war and 31 per cent in all other wars. A total of $3,320,800,000 had been p lid In pensions, of which Pfl per cent had pone to civil war veterans. nnlllnirap fl V Ofl R flat Tate Of $12 per month to all veterans of the civil war. At the conclusion of the debate Mr. McCumbcr secured unanimous consent to take the bill up Friday next. when, the opinion was expressed, a \ote might be taken. DEATH OF DR. SIMON GROOT.

President Roosevelt viewed the models submitted in competition for the Kosciuszko I monument yesterday and Indicated his preference of those selected by the expert Jury, criticising severely the mode! by St. R. Lewandowski of Vienna, which had been declared must meritorious by the jury. He gave first choice to the one which had been rated second-one n9cribed "Liberty on Both Sides of the Sea." by a sculptor of l.embers Austria, whose name Is unknown. This, In the Judgment of the President, was in better accord with the statues of Lafayette and Kochambeau, which now occupy th? southern corners of Lafayette Square, and more appropriate In design for the monument of a military hero. The second choice, therefore, was given to Mr. Lewandowski'a model, and third choice to that by 1'rof. Jul. Beltowskl, who is also of Lemlierg. The government committee, composed of Secretary Tafl, Senator Wetmore and Kepresentatlve McC'leary, has not yet rendered a decision, iiut at I lie next meeting the President's choice will he laid before it. and it is I reasonable to nuppoBe that the award will be made In accordance therewith.

Oklahoma, of Corporal Ktiowles of Company A. 25t;i Infantry, arrested on suspicion of having shot Capt. Macklin, nor have an; advi'-es come to hand tending to conlirm the statements that the arrest of Knowles lias been the means of unearthing a plot among the negro soldiers to kill all the white officers at the posfc Gen. Ainswortli, the military secretary, said that i' there was anything In the story it eventually would be communicated to the deiartment by mall through the regular military channels. He was inclined however to ooubt the truth of the existence of such a plot. Found Bullet Hole. Knowles was arrested after a long and hard search. The officers hunting for him had a corporal's uniform coat, and In one arm was a hole that might have been made by a bullet. The night Capt. Macklin was shot his assailant Is thought to have handled his weapon carelessly, and to have shot himself as well as the captain, who winind d in the face. When Knowles was arrested he had a wound in his arm which fitted with tiie hole In his coat sleeve. He said that he had snagged himself on a nail. Capt.

That will take the mercury In the thermometers about 7 degrees below the freezing point and send the balmy summer time conditions that have been prevailing hereabouts for a week scudding down toward the tropics. The prediction as to the quick return of hoary winter was made for The 8tar this afternoon by Prof. A. J. Henry, one of the official forecasters of the weather bureau. He said a moderately cold wave is coming from the west, where very cold weather was reported this morning. The maximum temperature here today was 60 degrees. Speaking of the vagaries of this January weather. Prof. Henry said the abnormally warm conditions were due not to any solar changes, as many people suppose, but to stagnation of the atmosphere. Had It been due to solar causes the heat would have been general, he added. As a matter of fact it was only confined to the eastern and southern districts. Water Warm at Sandy Hook An official statement was received at the weather office today. It was that the temperature of the water of the Atlantic oft Sandy Hook has been found to be warmer than the gulf stream. No steps have been taken to verify the report. Tulips are bursting Into bloom In the District and the surrounding country. It Is said, and a number of trees are "attempting to bud." Horticulturists and botanists say that should a severe period of cold appear, under such conditions, the tree trunks In many Instances would bo liable to burst from the freezing of the sap within them, and that other damage would result to shrubbery and vegetation generally.

Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine held a special election to complete i:s delegation to the meeting of the Imperial Council in I AncnloQ la st nvpninp Thpre had been three previous elections, but on account of a rule requiring a majority vote for each representative the delegation had not been complefed. This election occurred at National Rifles' armory yesterday at 4:30 p.m. Balloting began at 4:35 sharp, and polls were closed at 8 o'clock. Potentate Sebring was so desirous of getting through with it this time that he ordered that if at the second special session should the repoit of the tellers fail to show an election, a new ballot would he immediately ordered. This precaution is stated to have been an excellent one, and served to quickly settle the spirited and friendly contest. Mr. Jacobus S. Jones was chosen. Jacobus S. Jones is the retiring potentate ot Almas Temple, and has just closed a very successful administration, leaving tile temple with the largest membership in its history. Uurlng Ms term 01 omce mere was a gain of tarty members. The temple has a handsome rash balance, together with securities aggregating nearly $23.WK). Mr. Jones had held many official positions in the local fraternal bodies, i>nd it is said has never been defeated for office. His service includes every branch of Masonry, Odd Fellowship, Pythianism and the District National Guard. Potentant Sebring made the announcement last evening that there will be no ceremonial session on St. Patrick's day, thus departing from a precedent which has prevailed during the past ten years. Instead of selebrating Saint Patrick's day, March 17. Almas Temple will this year hold ceremonial sessions on Washington's bortliday. February 2'J. and All Fools' day, April 1, omitting the session in March. THS LESSONS OF 1898 NEW REGULATIONS FOR MOBILIZATION OF NATIONAL GUARD. Never again win the United States government be involved in the difficulties of re organization of the militia forces in the face of war, as it was i the early days of 1HSW, if I he new regulations for the mobilization of the National Guard just perfected by Assistant Secretary Oliver have the expected result. These regulations, which have just been printed and promulgated. are drawn under the terms of the Constitution and the existing Dick militia law and preceding statutes relating to the subject. They provide lor the minimum strength of the organizations of the militia, in time of peace and its equipment by the state authorities so that this force will be instantly available in time of need, and the embarrassing situation which existed at the outbreak of the war with Spain, when thousands of unequipped and rawlevies were gathered in detention camps for weeks and months before they could be sent to the front as soldiers, will never again confront the War Department. In the tlrst plftee, it is expected that the state authorities will take advantage of the generous appropriations made by the national government annually for the support of the national guard to keep nil their organizations at a certain fixed minimum strength. These men are to be completely equipped and drilled. And In addition, the states must provide ample equipment, arms, clothing, quartermasters' stores, tenting? everything necessary for the militiamen who may be called ir'.o service under the terms of the law. The experience of the Spanish war recruitment demonstrates that it was an Impossible task for the national government to equip recruits in twos and threes and half dozens In little country hamlets, and feed and convey them to central recruiting depots. Therefore the regulations provide tjiat that task shall be assumed by the state authorities; they will secure these recruits themselves and nrovide for their maintenance, and deliver them at the proper headquarters, so that all that will be necessary for the national government to do to secure a thoroughly mobile, well-equipped and well-armed force of men at short notice will be to call upon the governor of a state for the necessary levy of troops and gather these up at large central stations.

THE STAB has regular ud pwinunl Family Circulation much mors than the combined circulation of the other Washington dallies. As a Hews and Advertising Medium It has no competitor. t 'lu order to arold delays on account of personal abarnce, letters to THE BTAS should not hs addressed to any Individual connected with tha ofllce. bnt simply to THE STAB, or to ths Editorial or Busl> neaa Departments, according to tenor or purpose. The Scholar in Politics. A current news paragraph says this: "A movement has been started to make Prof Charles E. Merrfam of the University of Chicago the republican nominee for alderman in the seventh ward of Chicago. He is an author of treatises on political history and has taken a prominent part In the work of the charter convention." If Prof. Merriam cares for public office and feels a desire to serve his neighbors in that sphere here is liia chance. Let him begin In an inconspicuous place and work up. Municipal rule is important rule, but !xU his been greatly neglected i?y muse wim the power to make it what it should be As a result our most lamentable failures as a people have been in the government of cities an.l towns. There, largely because the cittins were small and the duties a little humdrum, nearly everything has been left to bosses and their heelers, who. indifferent to honors and concerned only tbt.ut "pi.-kings." have had their own way and filled their own pockets at the public expense. A few men of education and pride 1 nil real public spirit working in every community would soon remedy these abuses. Our scholars in politics have been too few. and as a rule they have started at ..i.w. ..mi Thov have .-limed too high. or been boomed too high. A year or so ago Kdltor Harvey of Harper's Weekl- bethought hiin in the dull season of the presidency, and he proposed to his democratic friends a new man. President Wilson. of Princeton University. An excellent man. an accomplished scholar and writer and educator, and a good administrator within the range of his talents and experi ?>nce, but without a Jay's acquaintance with practical politics or everyday politicians. And therein is his deficiency. How could lie hope in the White House to cope in the management of national affairs with men trained in political affairs from the ground up? It would be as if a raw recruit, however well set up and attractive in appearance. were put in command of veterans, and to oppose -eterans. He would soon have his own camp in confusion, and be at the mercy of the other camp. Politics requires study. Even the men described as "born politicians" find it to their benefit to serve in minor posts before '''i''ie in so sweeping an enterprise, since the enactments which effected these changes some amendments have been seen id! which have gone far toward establishing a perfect balance between all the l-ar!s of the great military machine. One *uch correction is now being urged in behalf of the nrtillery corps. By the act of February '2. litol, the regimental organisation of that branch of the service was abolished and it w is organized into a corps of 1 'M companies of coast artillery and thirty batteries of field artillery, with a maximum enlisted strength of IS.irjO. This measure placed the artillery upon a much higher plane of efficiency than would have been possible under the old formation, but the experience of six years has proved that more is to be done if the American artillery ??-rvice, especially that devoted to coast defense. Is to lwDm? as highly effective as it should be. One fault of the act of 190] was that It combined into one corps tw 1 a no different from that which Bhould always govern. Because the air is mild during the morning is no warrant for leaving the overcoat at home. Changes come quickly in January. A draft la just as bad In this month as at other times, if a person is susceptible to air currents. Above all It is well to keep the digestive system In good order. Very often a cold comes In consequence of a deranged stomach and grip and pneumonia may successively develop, all springing from an easily avoided cause. The steel magnates Insist that Mr. Corey's dividend reports are satisfactory and have nothing whatever to do with his Judge Alton B. Parker Is one of the few democrats who seem willing .o let Mr. Cortelyou's campaign fund pass without further criticism. There are moments In the President's career when the Simple Life, once so much discussed, seems wholly Impractical. The Sultan of Turkey would feel easier if Raisuli would attend to his brigandage, and keep out of politics. SHOOTING STABS. The Conversation of Coin. "Money talks," said the succinct person. "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne; "and 1 some of it seems at present to be quite gos- nr sipy and scandalous in its remarks." Thought. "I suppose you put a great deal of thought J* into your speech?" "Vnc ancnrnrnH tha nilmomhAr nf fnn. H gress. "And a great deal more thought into arranging for a chance to deliver it." A Liberal Assortment. L Howdy, Mistuh Wearther Man. Here you ia again! A little bit o' sunshine an" S( A little bit o' rain. A little bit o' freezin' cold? jj^ A thaw, to ease our minds. _ I didn' know one day could hold So many different kinds! Classification. "What do you think of my presidential boom?" 5 "It's too early," answered Senator Sor- jp g-hum. "You won't even be one of those who also ran. You'll merely be one of those previously mentioned." Modesty. "Whom do you regard as the greatest living actor?" "My friend," answered Mr. Stormington Barnes, "the question is not considerate. You know how I hate to talk about myBelf." Barred. My Uncle Jim is mighty smart. That's widely known, an' yet There ain't a chance of gettln' him placed il In the cabinet. _ He's a.i right on diplomacy, a wonder at the law, r And in finance as bright as any man you ever saw. But there are certain drawbacks that will keep him from a place Which his talents make him eminently qualified to grace. There are two reasons why the nation suffers such a lossHe never playe 1 lawn tennis an' he doesn't ride a hoss. Of course there's other arguments that hurt his chances some. But most of these I reckon could be somehow overcome. He ain't a military man, although he thinks it's right To stick up fur your country, even if you've got to fight; But he lacks the modern spirit, an' he doesn't seem to care Fur huntin' or fur flshln', an' he never shot a a bear. u But the principal objections that I've so far run across c Are these?he can't play tennis an' he doesn't ride a hoss. Easy Money and Its Makers. From the Brooklyn Eagle. Some years ago Theodore Roosevelt, thjn Vice President, declared It to be highly un1 desirable to weaken individual Initiative, adding that there was but the scantiest jus- le tification for most of the outcry against men of wealth. Perhaps he would like to revise the addition. Perhaps he would like to alter it by saying that there Is more than scant justification ror the outcry. Certainly, he would not have to look far for cases in point. A year ago the insurance world was convulsed. It has not yet recovered from the s'hock of disclosures almost paralyzing. Now comes the turn of the railroads, which may otherwise be described as the turn of men engaged In the accumulation of what Mr. Bryan would call predatory wealth. Though investigation is only at the threshold, it has gone far enough to show that many of them made the most oif their many opportunities. _ c May He Improve. From t'ae Newark News. IL Here's hoping that in 1907 Chancellor Day's liver will be in better condition. p The Opera. From tlie Baltimore Sun. Saint-Saens does not like American society opera. It is composed of albout three T parts clothes?or lack of clothes?and one part music. W 1 a; Harriman's Health. From the Htrtfora Times. S( Mr. Harriman Is better, but it is not inconceivable that he may have a relapse n when he gets another summons from the c? interstate commerce commission to explain his multiple operations in railroad- *1 Ing. tl Prosperity. From the Knoxvilie Journal and Tribune. This country has never before been so c' embarrassed with the congestion of pros- a: perity. "r wi Bailroad WarsP r rom me a*? nugcim mur?. -10] Wars? We do not need them. The railroads will attend to that sort of thing. wi i mtm i Will Taste Stronger. J"* From the New York World. Now the government Is going to investl- gate the distillers. If average drinkers are ba compelled to drink straight whisky the 1 strangeness of the tasta may drive some of wl them to reform. 1 trl Mother of Invention. From the Atlanta Georgian. ca A Pittsburg physician says he can tattoo nJ a blush. Probably It is necessary in Pitts- bIi burg. Ei 1 lo' Still Getting Scarce. El From the Atlanta Constitution.

Edward VII and special guest of the institute, until today, with the exer- J cises commemorative of the founding of the Institute, when many presentations of 4 greetings and addresses, reminiscent and J historical, were in order, the meeting was J almost altogether one of entertainment. In ttie afternoon at 4 o'clock a reception H and tea will be held at the Octagon House. The unveiling of a tablet erected in honor |j of the founder will follow, and then an ex- hibition of illustrations of the works of Sir Aston will conclude the entertainment. 5 This evening the annual dinner will be held 5 In the banquet hall of the New Wiilurd. Morning Session. At this morning's session of the associa- 5 tion miscellaneous business was transacted, anil the discussion of several papers was j also in order. The names of the officers 3 elected for the ensuing year were then an- nounced. They are: Frank Miles Day, 5 president; William B. Mundie, first vice j president: R. Clipton Sturgis, second vice S president; Glenn Brown, secretary and i treasurer: Walter Cook. Edgar V. Seeler 5 and J. L. Mauran, directors, elected for f three years, and Robert Stead, auditor. 5 The following fellows were admitted 5 into the institute: William ij. Post, Henry 5 Bacon, John Russell Pope, James P.

Presentation Address. s President Day, In presenting the medal, w.i h attached to a green ribbon, said in part: I "The American Institute of Architects j i vhf'e ur\fin thlu tl-.u flfflofU aaiv of Hs foundation a medal, the In- I tei.tii'i' of which Is to mark distinguished 3 achievements In architecture wherever 1 found. To you Sii Aston Webb, it will be our privilege tonight to give this medal tni! we are gathered here to signalize not a merely In that token, but by our presence, th admiration that we feel for your W'T'ks and the respect that we entertain foi your caieer. j "That this irtdal should first be given to an Kngliehman need* little explanation. A reasonable irodtfty might well con- ?train us to look beyond our own borders x and it is but r.iilural that our thoughts hnvM cetiter on that land with which, r.oro than with" any otler, we are united by tioB of race and thought. We received from you the traditions of i T i n.1 G? w TXT..?? A111K v> V iir^ aiiu ??I VIII taivvuvi men, j traditions that gave vitality and charac- ter to nui- colonial buildings, and at a later i time the classical revival that swept over i Kurope reached us directly from its Kng- 1 liali source. William Thornton, who de- signed the Octagon, he who stamped a J definite and noble character upon the na- J tion's Capitol. Thornton, no less than his patron. Thomas Jefferson, gained his J knowledge of classic architecture from 4, those studies of it In which your country- ?j men were pioneers. 4 "It is from among men such as these ?j that we have chosen you. sir, a younger, 4 but no less distinguished man, to confer 4 upon you an honor which we shall per- 4, haps not frequently award; and, therefore, 4 and because an ancient custom sanctions 4, It, I am to recount in good set terms the 4 reasons that have moved us to choose you 4 as our medallist. 4 "In the midst of these large affairs you 4 have not neglected to perform a labor of j love in Jhe restoration of ancient edifices 1 as at the fine old Norman church of St. J thp fireat the oldest church 1 In London, which for well-nigh thirty years J has been within your charge and which you 4 have rescued from neglect and ruin and a; II lely rehabilitated. "That your talents have not been unrec- Ognlztd by your countrymen is shown by the volume of your works, by the honor of 1 knighthood conferred upon you by the king, and most of all by your election as a royal .1? 4 "And now. sir, because you have these qualities and because for a lifetime you have dedicated them with signal success to the service of your profession, the American Institute of Architects confers upon you us medal for distinguished achiever nt." Speech of Acceptance. In hi epting the gold medal Sir Aston reviewed the history of architectural design in Kngland and praised the work of the American architects. He spoke of the splendid architectural achievements which he I as seen and admired in Washington. Philadelphia and New York during the one week he has spent in this country. Sir Ashtnn. in part, said: I am afraid it is beyond my power adequately to express in any words that I have at command the grateful apprecla tion that 1 feel. and that I believe my brother architects at home will feel, at the great honor the American Institute of Architects ha* been graciously pleased to confer upon Engl sh architects through so unworthy a representative as myBelf, for, of course. I recognize in this award the demre to honor English architects generally. from which stock we are proud to think you yourself liave sprung 'There is much in the architecture here that is familiar to us as we arrive in this country, and there Is much that Is unfamiliar. and therein it appears to me lies the harm." Preceding Reception. The presentation was preceded by a reception to Sir Aston. The receiving line formed at the left of the entrance. It was headed by Gen. Wilson, president of the board of directors of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. President Day presented the guests t j Sir Aston. The following ladies assisted the receiving party: Mrs. Joseph C. Horn Hover anil ilrs. Glenn Krown 01 w asnington; Mrs. George B. Post and Mrs. Cass Gilbert of New York; Mrs. Frank Miles Day and Mrs. Albert t elsey of Philadelphia; Mrs. Ralph Adams Cram and Miss Peabod.v of Boston and Mrs. William B. Mundle Of Chicago.
