[ seng police discovered that October 2, a man named J. P. Dey, with four $5,000 Treasury nofes in his hip pocket, with the flap bent over and buttoned, came into Washington at 6:30_o'clock. He left at 9 o'clock for Buford, §. C., passing to the train through a jam of colored persons. When he got into the train he missed the bonds, but he was already on his way South, and bis business was urgent, and more {important than locating registered bonds, which he felt sure would turn up again, that ho made no report of the loss. All this was learned by the police when_they found through the Rose- ville Bank that the bonds had been sold to Mr. Dey. Inspector Grant wired Mr. Dey and he arrived here promptly this morning. H¥ told his story, satisfying police that he was the original owner of the bonds. Carter, according to the police, has a previous police record. The wom- an, it is charged by the police, was in ‘collusion with Carter and obtalned the bonds from him, sending one to a man in New Jersey and retaining two others. The remaining bond has not been accounted for. New Jersey authorities are trying to locate the man in possession of the third bond, since two were found on the person of the woman, SHIP SHAKEN VIOLENTLY.

GREAT CROWD SEES CHRYSANTHEMUMS 4,464 Visit Exhibition Open- ing, Breaking Previous Attendance Mark. There were 4,464 visitors at the twenty-fourth annual chrysanthemum show of the Department of Agricul- ture yesterday, thus breaking first-day record/ despite the fact that it and the crowds are alw a Sunday, when the usually been opened. Dr. William A. Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, under whose administration these annual free flower shows have been devel- oped, today expre the consensus of opinion of expert judges that thi year's show is the best the depart- ment cver has held, both in variety of form and color and in the number of blooms brought to their best at one time. Dr. Taylor today commend- ed the work of the experfs who have by careful bud selection brought out so many gxcellent blooms of the fa- vorite varieties and who have pro- duced new seedlings, which here- after are to be grown commercially. Disappointment Relieved. ent exp ally from that there wa amed for the lieved today. The best of the new seed- lings was named in honor of Secretary Wallace last year by Mrs. Wallace, but it is an unusually late variety, and no bloom was in satisfactory condition to be placed in the show when it opened yesterday. However, one bloom has been forced and groomed and was put on dis- play today. The Secretary Wallace is a glant bloom of peculiar petal formation and was a big favorite in the show last year, It is of deep bronze coloring with a peculiar red shade on the inside of the petals. It was eurrounded by a large crowd all day. Three Blooms Named. By direction of Dr. Taylor three of the most attractive new pompom varieties were named today. They are Princess Adele, a delicate shade of pink; John W., jr., & shell-pink bloom, and Mary L., a dark pink. More than 30 commercial growers from eight States were guests today of Dr. Taylor in viewing the show propagating to adopting new produced by the Department ulture for commercial Erow- These business men, as well as the expert botanists in the depart- ment, expressed the belief that -the annual shows by the Department of Agriculture are having a very direct influence on cultivating the taste of the people and spreading an appre- ciation of flowers. ing.

Many members of the diplomatic corps are at the show today, as well as service men from Walter Reed Hospital. Students Invited. Tomorrow the show house will be thronged principally by school chil- dren. Various schools have tele- phoned to the superintendent show- ing that more than 5,000 school chil- dren alone expect to visit the show. Some of the large academies and col- leges have also telephoned to see what would -be the best hours at which bus loads of young women might gain admittance. A special pthee has been provided on B street for automobiles and buses to unload passengers, and as fAr as pos- sible parking space is being reserved on B street and the department drive- ways. The show is to be thoroughly freshened up for Sunday. Some of the “over ripe” blooms will be taken out and replaced by fresh plants from the propagating houses.
