The Foremost Authority on Patent Law, and the Counsel of the Venesuelan Government, James J. Storrow of Boston, chief coun- sel for the Venezuelan government to con- duct the arbitration negotiations pending between that country and Great Britain, and for many years chief counsel of the Bel] Telephone Company, and the foremost authority in the world on telephonic pat- ent laws, dropped dead yesterday after- nocn in the new Congressional Library. Mr. Storrow came south two weeks ago, accompanied by his wife and daughter, going to Old Point Comfort for rest and recreation. While at Old Point he spent considerable time in preparing his case in the Venezuelan arbitration matter, and came to Washington on several occasions to consult law books. Yesterday morning Re came here to keep an appointment with Senor’ Andrade, the Venezuelan minister. He was apparently in perfect health, in fact, much better than he had been for a long time. He expressed himeelf as having enjoyed his visit to Old Point Comfort and benefited by it. He intended -to retufn there on the night boat. After breakfast he had a conference with the Venezuelan minister at the State Department, and dur- ing the afternoon he called on Justice Brewer, the president of the Venezuelan boundary commission, and later, with Mr. Malet Prevost, the former secretary of the Yenezuelan commission, and Mr. Marcus Baker of the geological survey, visited the new Congressional Library. Mr. Storrow and his friends spent some time in admiring the beauties of the If brary building, and when they were pre- paring to leave Mr. Storrow complained of feeling ill, He was very dizzy. and fell into a chair. His companions summoned the captain of the watch, and Mr. Storrow was placed on a sofa, and every effort made to revive him, but in a few minutes he was dead. It ts believed that death was caused by heart disease. The remains were taken to Speare’s undertaking establish- ment, ard from there to the home of Gar- diner G. Hubbard, 1328 Connecticut eve- nue. Mrs. Storrow was communicated with, and this morning a telegram was re- ceived from her, ating that she would ar- here at 3:30 o'clock, and desired to e the remains leave for New York on the 4 o'clock train. Mr. Sterrow's son, J. J. Storrow of Boston, will arrive here at 2:30 o'clock. The remains will be taken to Boston, where the funeral will be held, no arrangements for which have yet been made. No one has ever disputed the credit gen- erally accorded Mr. Storrow of being the greatest authority on patent law as it re- lates to telephone patents in the world. He had long been the chief counsel of the Bell Telephone Company, and conducted the enormous amount of litigation that has taken place in all the courts of the country in relation to the patents of that company. Mr. Sturrow made a trip to Venezuela a year ago, his health not being good at thai time. The result of this trip was that when the Venezuelan government came to sclect some one as its counsel it immedi- wtely applied to Mr. Storrow. As the rep- resentative of the Venezuelan government he i took an active part in drafting the treaty whith was signed by Secretary Olney and the British ambassador, anJ later he went to Caraccas with the Ven- ezuclan minister to urge the acceptance of the protocol by thai government. Mr. Storrow was about sixty years of age. Hard work had made inroads upon his health, but in later years he appeared to be mach better than for a long time. Only gi week from last Monday he filed a lony Yriet in the Supreme Court of the United States, and since that time he has worked leboriously on the Venezuelan case. — Those Fine Bicycles—Demorests, are sold by us.

A report was made to the police yester- day that Mr. Nathan Barber of Cambridge, Ohio, had been robbed of his xold watch and chain. Just where the alleged robbery was committed, or under what circum- stances, the police did not learn. But the keepers of pawnshops were told of the al- leged robbery, and today the watch. was presented to one of the several “uncles,” with a request for a loan. The pawnbroker touched the button, and Precinct Detective Sutton of the first precinct responded. “I got the watch from a man across the avenue,” the man said, and he escorted the detective over to where he had left the one who gave him the watch. This man proved to be Mr. Barber, who seemed somewhat surprised to learn that @ report of a robbery had been made to headquarters. ee Harris & Shafer's Opening Tomorrow.

The first game was won by the Eastern School girls last Saturday morning by a score of 6 to 4, and the sec- ond and deciding game going to them by de- fault they, therefore, hold the champion- ship. It had been generally believed that be-. cause of the reported indisposition of Miss Kate Tyndall. the captain of the Central School team, the second game would be postponed until tomorrow morning. But when Miss Georgie Forbes, the captain of the Eastern School team, arrived at the gymnasium yesterday afternoon, she in- formed Prof. Joyce that her team had not ccnsented to the postponement, and as she insisted that the game should be called, as ‘previously arranged, Prof. Joyce was forced to declare the game forfeited to the Hast- ern team because of the non-appearance of their opponents, and to award the cham- pionship to the Eastern girls. Prof. Joyce endeavored to induce Miss Forbes to con- sent to a postponement of the contest, but she explained that she had not been in- formed of Miss Tyndall’s reported illness; that no request for a postponement had been made to her officially, and that she would, therefore, have to insist that the game be played as originally scheduled, or that it be declared forfeited. There is said to be not a little. feeling between the two teams, but nothing, of course, of an unpleasant nature, the ast- ern girls merely insisting upon a strict rules of the game, while should have been waived by their oppo- nents and the postponement allowed. The friends of the Central school team are as- serting that the Eastern girls claimed the forfeiture because they feared a defeat if the game was played. To that the East- ern school contingent smilingly reply that their team merely insisted upon their rights in order to spare the Central girls a second defeat. Then, too, they point out that Miss Tyndall was at the gymnasium yes- terday afternoon in apparent first-class condition, and they cruelly suggest that the Central girls only desired a postpone- ment in order to obtain more practice. But, be that as it may, the Eastern girls say that they are the champions, and defiantly declare that they are ready and willing to defend the title against the Central or any other team of girls.” It is probable, there- fore, that the Central team will challenge* the champions in a short time.

A. unit of weight is provided, which amounts to six and a half tons, and the performance of each engine being on rec- ord, it is known what can be accomplished. Each car is marked when loaded and the weight of the load, as well as the car, is shown in this unit. Such marks indicate the number of cars to be placed in a train to be hauled by the engine selected for service. As some engineers are able to handle their engines to better advantage than others, this system is calculated to insure Tecognition for expert work in this direc- tion. “It also establishes a new standard, which all engineers are required to measure up to, and enables the accumulation of data which will be of value in improving grades and roadbeds..

MORRISON'S PLACE. W. W..Peabody Being Urged by Many Influential Railroad Men. The friends of Capt. W. W. Peabody, vice president and general manager of the Bal- timore and Ohio Southwestern Company, are urging his fitness to be the successor of Col, William R. Morrison as chairman of the interstate commerce commission at the expiration of Col. Morrison's term. In railroad circles Capt. Peabody's quali- fications for @he commissionership are being generally indorsed. It is the opinion of many railroad men that the makeup of the present commission is too much one- sided--that is, the members are lawyers, and not practical railway or traffic or com- mercial men. They think that the railway and commercial interests should be repre- vented. In other words, the commisston should be three-sided—all interests should be protected. A railway man, it is thought, might take up traffic matters and handle them more speedily. —— The B. and 0. Southwestern.

Tomorrow, Saturday, April 17, At our Seven City Stores by present- ing to our customers a magnificent highly colored Art Lithograph, en- titled “EASTER LILY.” In it the’artist very cleverly de- picts a handsome, rosy-cheeked blonde girl of probably ten sum- mers with her beautiful blue eyes gazing heavenward, she seems to be giving thanks for the gorgeous big bunch of Easter Lilies in her arms— in fact, the whole world looks bright to her.
