WASHINGTON, Feb. |18, reply to your letter of the | 10th, the President directs me to ssy to you | that’ he had the Superintendent of Police of the District of Columbia, Major Sylvester, make & carerul investigation of the circum- ances connected with the arrest of Mrs. Mor- | rig for disorderly conduct at the executive of- s "und the Superintendent submitted to the President all affidavits of the persons | whom be had examined. The President care- | fully went over Major Sylvester's report and the affidavits and also personally saw Major | Bylvester and some of the persons making the affidavits. He came to the conclusion that the arrest was justified and that the force used in making the arrest was caused by the re- | sistance offered by Mrs. Morris to the officers | in the discharge of their duty and was mo ater than necessary to make the arrest ef— fotive. | Tnder these circumstances, the President Boes not consider thet the officers are properly subject to blame. He was also satisfied that the kindllest thing that could be done to Mrs, Mor- ris and her kinsfolk was to refrain from giving eny additional publicity to the circumstances surrounding the case. Yours truly, WILLIAM LOEB JR., Secretary to the President. ————— LOW RATES TO THE COAST OVER HARRIMAN LINES Reduced Fare to Prevail From the Middle West During the Summer Months.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 21.—No charges of any kind have been pre- ferred against J. N. Adam, Buffalo's new Mayor. An apnouncement re- cently to the contrary was an error. The Governor has not been asked to remove Mayor Adams. Charges recent- ly were preferred against the old Su- perintendent of Police, who resigned. lg'"“':“ TN POLCE PUZLED OVER SHOOTING Mrs. Stella Eremita, a comely woman, was shot in the neck in a myste- rious manner shortly after 1 o’'clock yes- terday morning in a room occupted by | herself and husband at 873 Geary street. The woman was rushed to the Central | Emergency Hospital by her husband, Tony, and later the couple were locked up In the City Prison pending an investi- gation. Both tell conflicting tales about the shooting. On each was found a quan- tity of valuable jewelry, which leads the police to believe they are far from being honest persons. The inmates of the house were awak- ened by the sounds of a scuffle, and a few moments later the man ran out of the room in an excited manner. He halled a passing cab and had his wife driven to the hospital. The landlady of the house notified Policeman Charles Uhte, who | telephoned to the hospital to hold the | couple. The woman’'s wound was only a slight one In the left side of the neck. At the City Prison there was discovered | on the man's person a diamond ring | worth $350, and the woman had a ring worth $200 and a valuable pair of diamond earrings. A bank book showing a deposit of $700 with the Bank of Italy was also found in Eremita’s pocket, together with several pawn tickets for jewelry. Both told conflicting stories. Eremita sald at first that the woman shot herself, while she contended the revolver went oft | accidenteally. Eremita says they were married in New York two years ago, while the woman insists they were mar- ried in Hartford four years ago. Eremita admitted he had not worked at his trade of tailor for two years, but falled to give an acount of how he managed to secure 80 much fine jewelry and possess a bank book. Under questioning by Detective Mathe- son, Eremita admitted he had several oth- er diamond rings, as well as earrings and other trinkets, in a safe deposit vault. He says he came to this city with the woman two years ago, but insists he has not a single friend here. The woman avers that they have been here but nine months, and seems to contradict her . better h.h in nearly everything she says. The couple had been living at the Gcn.ry street house but two days. Before that they resided at 58 Mason street. They were wont to quarrel a great deal, and came home usually In the small hours. The landlady at 873 Geary street says on one occasion she heard a mnoise in the room as though some one were trying to ! break open a metal case or safe. On that night a stout man with dark hair and mustache was with the Eremitas, and they held quite a long conference. Both are said to be opium smokers. The police believe the man tried to kill the woman. The latter is Iarge of stature, good looking and says she is a native of New York. The man is a nervous, restless looking individual and a native of Italy, though he speaks excellent English. The police believe they will soon uncover more evidence, and are holding the couple. ‘The four upper floors 18, Fe of tho Illhble uu Aesurance lod“v. l‘—th‘ | young | {llness of more than four months. 7 vhi embraced s i | 740, ‘which embrac alaries of the| “poijowing are the committees: president, secretary, assistant secre- | o O 0" tary, chief clerk, two adjusters, three | g D committee—Past Commanders E. last year's ordinance Der | Sir J.

With a View to Future Charges Rt ol 2 Beautiful Women, Arrayed in Gorgeous Gowns, Make a Scene of Rare Brilliancy The reception and ball given to the | ladies by the Sir Knights of California Commandery No. 1 at the Palace Hotel last night was a brilliant affair in every way. This commandery is the oldest in the State and has always been noted for its gallantry to the fair sex. Last night it only emphasized all its pre- vious records iIn this line, but far ex- celled any former attempts in that line of hospitality. The big American ball- room of the Palace was the maln scene of the festivities. Here a splendid band played dance music for those who de- sired to revel in evolutions of Terpsi- chore. The palm room was then ready for those who wanted to enjoy a qulet chat. Refreshments were served in the maple and marble rooms during the en- tire evening at the pleasure of the The Board of Supervisors, sitting as a committee of the whole, resumed its investigation yesterday of the oper- ations of the Spring Valley Water Com- pany with a view of fixing rates to be charged for water during the next fiscal year. The most interesting feature, apart from the great amount of statistics re- lating to rates, interest and values, was the declaration of George E. Booker, the company's chief clerk, who de- clared that the city is not paying rates according to any ordinance, but was paying such a rate as it pleased. P. W. Ames, secretary of the com- pany, stated that the company expects during the fiscal "year 1906-7 to pay about $75,000 interest on money bor- rowed from the Union Trust Com- pany in addition to about $825,000 coupan interest.
