Enticing School Children in a Vacant House—The Police on the Watch for the Man. An unknown man, who committed a cow- erdly assault cn two little girls near the District building about 12:30 o'clock yes- terday, is badly wanted by the police, and if apprehended he is more than likely to get all the time the law provides for his offense. The little girls are six and seven years old, and they were assaulted in a vacant house at the corner of Indiana ave- rue and 2d street by a well-dressed man, who enticed them into the house by promis- ing them some candy. The man, who is wbout thirty years old, was well dressed, wearing a pair of patent leather shoes. He had a dark mustache. James H. Will- jams, 125 Pennsylvania avenue, was the name and address given by the man when he went to T. W. Smith's lumber yard to Bet the key to the vacant house. Accord- ing to his statement he was looking for a house and there was nothing about his con- duct to cause any one to suspect him of wanting the key for other than a legitimate perpose, and the key was handed him. ‘That was about 12:30 o'clock, the hour for the half-day schoois to dismiss, and the litte children who attended the school in the Arthur building had to come his way. The two little victims, Rose Meyers and Regina Hawkins, came along and the! Sweet-talking scoundrel asked them if they Wanted some candy. Naturally enough the innocent little ones said they did, | “but,” said one of them, “we have to go right home from school.” “Just come in the house a minute,” said | the brutal man to them, “and you may Ko / as soon as you get the candy.” Thus the innocent little victims were led to believe that all they had to do was to walk into the house, Ket a bag of candy | and then skip home, but their anticipations | [of happiness were soon turned into fear, | | and instead of going as they suppused they 1 e left in the house nearly frightened to (death after having been assaulted by the man. No One Heard. While in the vacant house the children | | Screamed and made all the outcry they could, but no one heard them except their assailant, and his ears were closed to their Piteous appeals to be released, in order that they might return home to their | parents. | When he had finished his dastardly crime jhe left the heartbroken little ones to get [out of the house as best they could, and / escaped. The front door was left unlocked and the keys were not returned to the of- |fice of Mr. Smith. No particular attention was paid to the |™man when he called for the key, as the clerks were busy at the time, and for that | Teason the description of the man {s per- | haps not as good as the officers would like. \ On the Lookout. Complaint was made to the police of the affair, and Detective Carter is working with the precinct officers, endeavoring to apprehend the criminal. The little girls related the story of the crime to the offi- cer, but their descriptions of the man do | not agree in every particular, although | they are satisfied that they will be able to identify him in event of his capture. To the officer they stated that they met the man at the corner of Indiana avenue and Ist street, and before telling them of the candy he had for them he said their mothers sent him for them. They waited for him whtle he went and got the key and then went with him to the house, cor- ner of 2d street and Indiana avenue, and he took them to a room on the fourth floor, where he assaulted them. ‘The police in all the precincts have been given a deserfption of the man and every effort is being made to apprehend him. Hunting Clues. Rose Meyers and Regina Hawkins were the children who were assaulted. The for-| mer is a daughter of Mr.John Meyers of No. | 318 Indiana avenue and the latter is a niece | of Mrs. James Holmes, whose husband is a grocer at Ist and E streets northwest. Policeman Kimmell spent almost the en-| tire night endeavoring to ascertain the man who had assaulted the girls. He donned his | citizen's clothes just after sundown and, went with Mr. Holmes and the little girls along Pennsylvania avenue and other busi- ness streets, hoping to get a glimpse of the criminal, but without success. ‘This morning he went to the house, No. 215 Pennsylvania avenue, where the man sald he lived, and found a lodger, a stranger in the city, who answered in some respects the description of the man wanted “Were you looking at a house yesterday?” ihe was asked. | ““No, indeed,” was his response. “I have no use for a house. | ‘The man showed signs of nervousness, so the officer told a Star reporter, and he had him go to the station with him. There tie , little girls confronted him, and each de- clared that he was not the man. Mr. Hawkins, father of one of the girls, lives in Philadelphia, and he knows nothing of the affair. The child lives at the house of her aunt. While continuing the investigation today the officers learned that the man had prob- ably seen the girls before yesterday and | that his assault was a premeditated affair. Last Saturday the Hawkins child saw him | in Judiciary Square, when she was return- | ing home from dancing school. She noticed | him looking at her, but he did not say any- thing to her. Yesterday, when she met him, she remembered having seen him befor 4 and she says she is certain she would know him if she saw him again. Mr. Holmes is determined that the man shall be caught, if possible, and he is taking an active part’ in the investigation, —_— ! | | } | RETURN, From Canada tor Tarif! Changes. Senator Gallinger yesterday —present- ed an amendment intended to be pro- posed by him to the tariff bill providing that the act shall become operative so as importations from Canada are concerned only by proclamation of the President, The proclamation is to be issued upon con- ditions specified. When it is duly certified to the President that the Canadian government has de- clared a desire to enter into sucn comme: | clal arrangements with the United States | as will result in a material reduction of the | duties now existing against the admise.on into Canada of the products and manu- Ar | factures of the United States the President | ‘is to appoint a commission of six persons to meet a ‘like commission from Canada 10 consider the ‘nost desirable manner in which io accomplish a larger exchange of the products of the two countries, If the | result of the deliberations of the joint cor | mission shall be an agreement which will afford an advantage to the Unite] Staies such as the operation of this bill will at- ford to Canada the secretary is to renort this result to the President, wh», upon re- | ceiving notification that the Can |} ernment will present the recomm to the Canadian parltament for enuccaert, is to issue his proclamation making this act operative, as regards Canada, immed | Upon the enactment into law of the mendations by the Canadian parliament. , It Is also made the duty of the voramis- sioners to ascertain upon what conditions entirely free commercial Intercourse between the United States and Canada can be secured. | selves. {R. jing MAY DECIDE TODAY. ‘The Wardenship of the Jail Will Prob- ably Be Settl Although the court has not, so far as can be learned, given any intimation that, as a result of its recent investigation of Warden Burke's management of the Dis- trict jail, a successor to Major Burke will be appointed by the court, the Impression still remains general about the city hall that Warden Burke's removal has been virtually decided upon, and that the only Treason the court's decision has not been officially declared is because the members of the court have so far been unable to agree upon his successor. The rumor that Major Burke has notitied the court that he will resign upon the selection of his suc- cessor was again heard today, but It is understood that the warden will not talk at all about the matter, and as he could not be seen today, there was no opportun- ity presented for getting him to either deny or affirm the truth of the story. The war- den’s friends state, however, that he feels that there is no occasion for him to volun- tarily tender his resignation, and that he will decline to resign, even though the court should ask him to do so. Beyond the mere statemeut that there is nothing new in the matter and that nothing has yet been done by the court, the judges decline to further express them- They also state that it Is just now impossible to say definitely whyn the result of their investigation will be announced, maintaining more than the usual charac- teristic judicial secrecy in the matter. Ex- cepting the one possible decision that a change should be made in tie wardenship, it is more than probably true that, as stat- ed by several members of the court, n ing more has been decided upon. It was understood today ‘hat the six! members of the court would mect at 3} o'clock this afternoon or so soon after that | hour as their engagements in their differ- ent courts will allow, for the purpose of finally disposing of the .natter. It is sai% that, while Mr. Dan McConley of Ind‘ apolis, Ind., is an applicant tor the posi- tion, but two men, Deputy Marshal Jobn Leonard and Court Crier Robert Ball, | have been seriously consid+red in connee- | tion with the wardenship, and the prevuil- ing belief about the court is that one of | these officials will eventually be eled; | provided, of course, that a mvjority of the judges determine upon a caduge in the ottice. | | Mrs. Pattie Miller Stocking Suffers, From a Shocking Accident, | Mrs. Pattie Miller Stocking, daughter of | the late Justice Miller, met with a frightful , and dangerous accident shortly before ge | night last evening, in her apartments on | the fourth floor of the Elsmere, No. 1408 Hi | street northwest. | The lady had devoted the evening to call-/ ing on several friends and had returned to | the hotel about 11:30 o'clock. She imme- | diately retired to her bed room,disrobed and attempted to light a small table lamp, in-| tending to then lie in bed and read. The lamp seemed to be out of order, however, and in some manner it upset ‘and Mrs. Sivcking's garments were set on fire. | ‘fhe unfortunate lady did not lose her presence of mind, but energetically endeav- ored to extinguish the flames. Her efforts proving unsuccessful, however, she rushed into the hall, loudly calling for ussistance. | E. G. Price, son of ex-Gov.

Mrs. Stocking stated that she tried to save the house from danger, and thereby | incurred greater injuries than would have otherwise been done. This morniag che was suffering intensely, and Dr. Muncaster stated to a Star reporter that jer condi- tion is very precarious and that 1t will be at least three days before Mrs, Siocking 1s | out of danger.

From advices received at the State De-| partment and at the Nicaraguan legation | it is made clear that the British troops | were landed at Bluefields not merely to | protect the lives and property of British subjects, but with a view also to the pro- | tection of the Mosquito government. In addition to tanding the troops, the British consul, to whom the Mosquitos had ap- pealed, addressed a very curt note to the resident Nicaraguan commissioner, accu: the Nicaraguans of breaking their treaty with England, asserting an intention | of holding them strictly to account, and | insisting on non-interference with the Mos- | quitos. ‘The Nicaraguans are said to be deeply humiliated, and assert that the Brit- tsh have themselves broken the treaty in depriving Nicaragua of the sovereignty | ever the Mosquito coast, which was ceded | by the treaty. Should these advices be officially confirmed by United States Min- | ister Baker, it is hard to see how the United States can avoid being drawn into the dift- | States W . 187 pounds; '"“We will exercise in only the movements | Mulvey to join the team at once, and he | {has also been stated that when Mr. J. | | Cha BALL PLAYERS EXERCISING) The Washingtons Getting the Stiffness Out of Their Joints, At Work in the Gymnasium and th Ball Field — Heights and Weights— What “White Wings” Says. The players on the Washington Base Rall Club will certainly be in perfect physical condition when the season cpens. Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning Manager Gus Schmeiz headed a notable procession | to the Carroll Institute gymnasium. The | men behind him, each carrying a small | valise, were R. W. Black, A. C, Selbach, ©. Stocksdale, J. T. McGuire, W. Mersey, Charles Espey, W. Hasamaear, Georg Tabeau, John McMahon, D. 1. Dugdale and F, G. Ward. They constituted all the | men who had then arrived jn the city, with | the exception of Cartwright, who was greatly fatigued after a vbree days’ rail- road journey from Tennessee. He spent the day in bed. Repairing to the dressing room on the upper floor, the athletes who are to run for the capital city in the great league race donned gymnasium attire and wok posses- sion of the floor. Mr. Schinelz was the first ready, and as his followers appeated | he placed them on the scales and noted th height and weight of each, which was as follows: Black, 6 feet, 158 ponuds; Selbach, 5 feet 71-2 inches, 162 pounds; Stocksdale, 5 feet 167 pounds; MeGuire, 5 feet inches, 179 pounds; Merser, 5 feet 0 1-4 | inches, 154 pounds; Esper, 6 feet 1-4 inch, Hasamaear, 6 feet 1 1-4 inches, 170 pounds; Tebeau, 5 feet S 1-4 inches, 170 pounds; McMahon, 5 feet 71-2 inches, 150 pounds; Dugdale, 5 feet 61-4 inches, 177 pounds, and Ward, 5 feet 81-2 inches, 192 peunds.

All sorts of uniforms were worn, One had “Washington” in big let- ters across the chest, another denoted that | the owner had at one time been located in | Firmingham, and there were black, white, colored and’ striped garments galore. The Exercises. The first exercise consisted of a brisk walk, follow-my-leader style, around the room. Next a trot, funning with the back, the right side and the left side forward successively. This was followed by kicking with each foot while on the run, Even at this early stage of the proceedings it was very plain to every one that Manager Schmelz is the best athlete in the contin- gent, and that he thoroughly understands the work he has in hand. Finger extension, wrist shake, arms in circle, arm slap, leg extension, knee bend, hip bend, head swing, ankle rock, leg swing, spring on toes, horse jumping and | jogging for wind on the running track fol- | lowed in quick succession, and at the end} of an hour the workers were directed to_ stop and visit the shower baths. During | the work the best of good nature prevailed, | and the men were prompt to obey every order of the director. At the Ball Grounds. After a brisk rub down everybody re-| turned to the hotel for rest and for dinner. | Then, at 2:30 o'clock, a walk was taken to the ball park, and for an hour or more field exercises and tossing and batting the ball were indulged in, During the evening George B. Stephens, | Paul Radford and Charles Petty arrived, | and this morning they began exercising | with the others in the gymnasium, Today | the work lasted fully two hours and con- sisted of dumb bell, chest and mattress movements, and this afternoon the usual outdoor exercise was taken. The program will be continued until the weather becomes sufficiently warm to warrant outdoor work entirely. All the men were rather sore today and felt more inclined to repose on sofas than to indulge in any unnecessary activity. Manager Schmelz has telegraphed Joe is expected to arrive at any moment. It! Earle Wagner comes back to Washington next week it will be with the intention of remaining for the balance of the sea- son. “1 worked under Schmelz for three years," said George Tebeau to a Star reporter to- day, “and I firmly believe that he has the best judgment of any man in the busin. J} fer one, am entirely satisfied with his | training and the public is going to hear trom us later on.” — NOT ALL SMOKE, Manafacturers Transact Some Solid Business This Morning. Cigar smoke pervaded the banquet hall of the Shoreham this morning, and the smoke was made from the very best tobac- co. It was not necessary for a person to be | a devotee in order to know that every del- | egate to the convention of cigar manufac- | turers in session there smoked a cigar rolled | from the finest quality of the weed. ‘The | object of the convention was to form a per- culty.

But the pu Mr. Gatlinger Desires Concessions Pi S¢ Was to assert the sovereignty of Nica-/ ragua over the Mosquito coast, as guaran- | teed by that treaty.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 13.—The United States man-of-war Marion, which sheuld have been well on her way to this port, is at Yokohama undergoing extensive repairs. About a fortnight ago a cable- gram was received here from Yokohama saying that the vessel had sailed, but had been obliged to return for repairs. The steamer Gaelic, which has arrived from the orient, brings news that the dam- age was very serious. Two days after the Marion left Yokohama the vessel encoun- tered a terrific typhoon in the China #« which nearly wrecked her. A long time she was on her beam ends, and a portion of the rigging was carried away and heavy seas swept over her, gutting the deck houses aud setting everything on deck awash. The water poured into the cabins and down into the engine rooms, and the boilers were washed from their fastenings. The fires were extinguished as quickly as possible, and the man-of-war scudded along under bare poles before the wind. She rode | safely through the storm and sailed back to Yokohama. The full extent of the repairs to be made was not known when the Gaelic sailed, but it is estimated that she will be on dock for at least two months, SEI st ie AWAKENED HIS CONSCIENCE.
