Nevertheless it would be possible to cause considerable interruption of pro- duction, with the tendeney to shortage and penalty prices, and that is what the public knows ought to be avolded. GEORGE WASHINGTON, Throughout the land homage will be paid today to George Washington, whose services in behalf of this coun- try during time of war and in the early days of its independence was such as to win for him the mmeh deserved title of Father of His Country. Many years ! bave passed since the death of this out- standing leader but throughout the cen- tury and a quarter there has been felt that great influence which was se con- scientiously exerted during his life- time. Great progress has been made since the daps of Washington but well it Is that we have not progressed in such a manner as to entirely forget or disre- gard the words of wisdom which he lett us concerning statesmanship and the conduct of our government. There was in his life an example that has comé down through gemerations undimmed and whenever reference is made to the country's great men Washington's name is always to be found at the head of the list. As a leader, a man of high and worthy principles, a general and a stafesman Washington was the man that the country needed during times of and his fearless, earnest straightforward manner has al- ways been recognized even as it was by hose of his day. Great was the bene- ached to having such an influence worked into the foundation of the country, and so solidly and prominent- ly fixed there that it has never been dis- turbed or forgotten. ° His sound judgment. his dignity. his integrity, his whole character has stood as a wholesome examplé worthy of emu- by each succeeding generation it has gained a permanence which akes certain that it will continue_down through the centuries to serve as a for American character and in- stitutions. Well may the country have a day for revering the memory of its great leadgr and first president. ' stress and ACCEPTANCE IN ORDER.

Washington, Feb. 21.—The passing by congress of the patent office bill that Senator Brandegee and other members of the Connecticut delegation have long urged, is a feather in their caps, and the delegation is openly rejoicing that con- gress has taken at last a step to pro- vide better salaries for patent experts and in other ways increase the facill- ties of that office and its necessary force. As a member of the patent committee the passagze of the bill at this time is very largely due to the untiring efforts and able management of Senator Brade- gee. The report just issued by the com- missioner of patents shows Connecticut to be the banner state in the entire country, in number of patents issued in proportion to population. During the past year 946 patents were issued to residents of Connecticut or 1 to every 1,534 of its population. This is far in excess of the pro rata issue to any other state In the entire country. The report called attenton to the need of funds and increased force, which the bill above referred to hag since pro- vided. There were “§1,000 patent appli- cations walting actin on December 31,” says the report, “thus swamping the of- fice and holding back new industries.” The commissioner referred tothe lead Connectieut and New England had al- ways held regarding patents issued but said that this yvear, although New Eng- land had held its own, the states of New York and Pennsylvanla had fallen be- hind the extreme western states and Cal- ifornia now held a record second only to that of Connecticut. The commis- sioner nointed out that this indleated a move of industries to the west, as he added, “inventions alwavss go hand in hand.” Connectient, during the past yvear, re- ceived 946 patents, issued to residents of that state, or 1 to every 1354 of its population; Massachusetts stood next in the New England line with 2,056 pa- tents, or 1 to every 1. population ; Maine 122 patents or 1 to every 6285 population, and New Hampshire 129 or 1 to every 3,435 population. The entire Connecticut delegation were active In securing the passage of the new patent bill, Congressman Glynn hay- ing formerly been a member of the pa- tent committee, which Senator MoLean. Congressmen Freeman, Merritt, Fenm. and Tilson did all in their nower to bring about a nearlv and favorable vote. The question of the bonus bill is still up in the air. So many protests are be- ing received by congressmen that even men who last session stood fast for the bill are now hesitating. A big dele- gation of wounded soldiers from the Walter Reed Milttary hospital came in to the city a few days azo to register their protests against a general bonus until the needy and sick soldiers were amply provided for. At the same moment the Legion lobhy was_actively appealing to congress to put the bonus bill through without de- lay. The president’s insistence that none of the means proposed by the wavs and means committee shall prevail in supply- ing funde has also given the belief that he house will never pass a sales tax bill” So if congress connot pass pass the only plan the president endorses. it takes a nrétty ontimistic mind to fore- cagé a auick nastageé of the honus bill in any form. The concensus of unbiased opinion seems to be that in snite of Chairman Fordnev's nredict that a bonus bill wil ®ass immediately, is is carcely a Afty-fifty chance that one will et through eongress thig session. But it is purély a matter of guesswork at this mement. so conflicting are the ap- peals from cons| to their con- gressmen. One of the recent visitors to Wash- ington was Gevernor Lake of Connect cut, Who as governor has the floor priv- eges of senate and house. He was sit- ting in the house lobbv chatting wth several of the Connecticut delegntion when Conzressman Frothingham of Massachusetts sauntered in. It was hard to tell which of the two men was most surprised ahd vleased. It is vears since they met, but back in their college days Lake was half back on the Harvard foothall team and Frothingham was his substitute. While they were talking over old times, In came Congressman Nick Longworth, who married Alice Roosevelt. and he was also a colléze math of Lake and Frothingham. The othér Connecticut men nrésent were Yale men and some- suzeested they get up a scrub game then and there.

It was sev- vears ago, and the host wag Colonel S.. whose wife did not play cards, but who circulated among the guests from time to time. When the moment for distributing the prizes came, the colonel found to his dismay, that he was one -prize short. Rushing up stalrs to hlg wife's room the colonel seized a very heautiful comh that was on the bureal, and rushing hack to the drawing room, presented it to the last lady to whom a prize fell. The lady knéw nothing of the clrcumstances. She emiléd and acclaimed on the beauty of the combd and qulckly placed it in her hair.

The placing of the statue in the cen- ter, under, the rome of the capitol, shut out the exaraordinary vista and many complainte were made to capitol officials on that account. Persons passing through the corridor on business were forced to turn from thelr path and cir- cle around it, and tourists, who had read much of the “longest corridor in the world,” were disappointed to find the view obstructed, so the statue has been moved aside and now stands just out- side the great ecircle of granite pillars that mark the center of the capitol. In the minds of many it is a far better position than the one it formerly oec. cupied, althongh the ladies who were instrumental .in having the statue plac- e«; in the capitel are not as well pleas- ed.

There are many who have the methods by which Craig Kennedy, Sherlock Holmes and other master sleuths of fiction have arrived at their infallibly correct conclusions by deduc- tive reasoning or by mechanical appara- tus which registers every fraction of & hearbeat or every minute change in the Suspect's resipration. But every now and then these same methods are used by detectives in real life, frequently with a great degree of success. For example, there was the Hotel Iro- quois murder case in which Police Com- missioner Dougherty of New York ap- plied a mixture of the Holmes and Ken- nedy rules in such a manner as to make the guilty man practically convict him- self, although at the time he was ig- norant of the fact that he was doing it. William H. Jackson, a wealthy guest of the hotel, was found dead in his room one morning, stabbed through the heart. His gold watch and several oth- er pieces of jewelry had not been touch- ed, but the only money in his clothes were -three twenty-five cent pieces in one of his vest” pockets. As Jackson was known to have carried a good deal of money, the supposition was that he had been murdered by someone who had either lost his nerve or who feared to take the watch and jewelry because they could be too easily traced. Even Commissioner ~ Dougherty’ knowledge of the working of the crim- inal mind could find little tha tcould -be dignified by the term ‘clue.” Jackson had evidently returned to his room rather late the night before_in fact one of the clerks recalled seéing him enter shortly after midnight—but the elevator boy said that he had come up alone, and that no one had gone up or come down from the same floor for several hours afterwards. “That means nothing Dougherty pointed out. After a careful examination of the room and the body of the murdered man Dougherty returned to his office and contented himself with seeing that the machinery of the police was kept care- fully oiled. But to mo effect. As days passed without further de- velopments, the public began to eriti- cize and find fauilt. Finally, when the wave of criticism had reached a height that he could no longer afford to overlook it, Commis- sioner Dougherty decided to try a meth- od which, as he phrased it, “was a shot in the dark—and a hundred-to-one shot at that.” “All we've been able to find out” he said tg one of his lleutenants, that Jackson was stabbed by a left-handed man, standing behind him and slightly LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What Are We Doing to Make Forelgners Better Citizens Mr. Editor: I haive read all the letters thai have ajpeared in your paper for many months and have arrived at the conchusion that nearly Il the writers see the faulls of the people as a whole but they do not attempt to give a remedy.

At least I'm something new. It's a gamble, but we've got to take a chance.” One by one the left-handed brigade was marched into Dougherty’s office. One by one he put to them a set of questions, one of the first of which re- garded their health and the state of their pulse. Once he had his finger on the suspect's wrist, he never lifted it until the final question had been asked and answered, It was not until the commissioner commenced to question Paul Geidel, the elevator boy who had taken Jackson's up to his floor the night that he had been murdered, that he noted any ma- terial change in the pulse beats of the persons he was examining. When he asked Geldel what he had dome imme- diately after Jackson had stepped out of his car, the boy's pulse hesitated and then commenced to race. But his voice was quiet enough as he replied that Jackson had asked him for some ice water, that he had brought it, placed it outside his door, and gone on with his work. Instantly a thought flashed Into Dougherty's mind—"“Jackson opened the door, produced a roll of bills, asked for change for a dollar, and tipped Geldel a quarter, slipping the other three into his vest pocket. Geidel, seeing the money, murdered Jackson either then or later. At least he knows something about the crime. His pulse is proof of that” But, aloud, the commissioner only sald: “You're left-handed, aren't “Right-anded.” racing. “That'll do’ Dougherty concluded. “Thank you for coming here.” The instant the boy left the commie- sioner ordered him followed.

If Macklin, the actor, had only gained control over his ungovernable temper, his name would not have gone down in the annals of crime. Disagreement, a quarrel, a sudden blow, struck harder than was intended, and then the hours of torture and agony that the brain passes through. All this might have been saved Macklin, a most remarkable actor, who was an assogiate of David Garrick. He was dogmatlc conceited. narrow-minded and arrogant, s overbearing manners repelling most of his friends. but worst of his traits was his uncontrollable temper. There can be no doubt that he was a fine actor, and in stage management he had mo equal during his period. The crime for which he was convicted Playhouse. The cause was a mere noth- ing—a wig, and the sequel death. One of the ushers, Thomas Arne, at the trial gave this account of the murder of the deceased Hallam by Mackiin: “On a Saturday night in May, 1 the prisoner happened to be playmg Sancho in The Fop’s Fortune. The niay was almost fin- ished when the prisoner started an argu- ment between himself and the deceased as to who should wear a property wig. Macklin had plaved in the wig the night beforé and on thé night of the crime the deceased had gained possesslon of ‘Curse vou for a rogue.’ said the prisoner. “What right have vou with my wig? this the deceased answered, T am no moré a rogue than yourself; it Is a stock wiz and T have as much right to it as you have'” 4 Some of the other players. coming in and knowing the fury of Macklin when | once aréused desired Hallam to give the wig to him. Hallam then complied with their wishes, saying that he had a wig which he could use just as well and which he Ifked bettem All then was quiet for about 15 minutes. when the prisoner broke out anew, “You are a blackguard. scrub rascal; how durst you have the impudence to take my wig?’ Again the deceased said, “I am no more a rascal than yourself. Upon hearing th¥. Macklin started forward, having a stick in his hand, and made a full lunge at the face of Hallam and thrust the stick in his left eye. Pull- ing the stick back. he looked pale, turned on his heel, and in an awful fury threw the stick with all his force up the chim- ne; When his passion calmed down he ran over to the deaeas “0, Lord" Hailam, “it is out.” oner. putting his hand to the injured eve. “I feel the ball roll under my hand.” The witness then told haw the doctors and a surgeon had been sent for. A dresser, Thomas Wigtaker, told much the same story. saying that after the first quarre he went upstairs to bring down gome property. Just as he was coming down the steps he saw the accused make | a sudden lunge at Hallam, who eclapped his hand to his eve, orving out. The prisoner was then called to make his defense. He tried to show that he had first asked civilly for the wig, saying “You have got the wig I played in last night and it fits the part.” Then, aceord- ing ot the verston of the prisoner, he asked for it as a favor but agaln was denied. Hallam saying that he should not have . prompter's room and said he had been used like a piokpocket. prevailed upom to let Macklin have the wig M question. Instead of glving It to him, Hallam threw It in his face. When he asked the decéased why he had done ‘because you used me like that, he sald a plekpocket.” Angrily waving a stick, he then cried, “Curse you for a puppy, get out” and as Hallam unluckily turn- Ing, the stick went into his eve. He further proved that he called the surgeon and pald him a guinea to look after Hallam, that being all that he had. Nevertheless, Hallam died the next day. Turbut, the prompter gave practically the same evidence, adding that one called the other a puppy and the other retaliat. ed by deing the same. and then each call- ed the other a rogue and a pickpocket, and t Macklin pushed at Hallam with no real intent with the disastrous results.
