He says: “Une Campbell, who runs the arrangement, was recently taken be- fore the Police Court, where the case was sent to the grand jury. ‘The grand jury tailed to find an indictment.’ He calls the attention of the Commissioners to this case because it is following in the wake of $wo or three spinning Jenny and adds: “There seems to be a disposition on the part of rome of the grand Juries fo ignore all such cases where gambling is carried on,” and he asks: “What is ee - ~ shred penis tess ted to continue ring these people into fourt? ‘There 1s nota shadow ot doubt thay the gambling law is violated in this Campbell device.

The Project Talked Over by the Citi- Sens’ Commitice Last Night. The committee of twenty-one citizens ap- pointed by Commissioner Webb to formulate a plan for the proper observance in this city of the 400th anniversary of the discovery ot America held their first meeting last evening ‘at Willard’s hotel, The following were present: Commissioner Wm. B. Webb, chairman; A. D. Anderson, secretary; Chas. 8, Hill, Wm.’ Dick- son, Fred. Douglass, Siman Wolf, E. W. Fox, Wm. M. Galt, Walter S. Hutchins, Hallet Kil- bourn, E, Kurtz Johnson, Geo. C. Gorham, Dr. Z. T. Sowers, John H. Magruder, John A.Baker, Lewis J. Davis, The proceedings then took the form of a conterence, the members making sug- gestions as to the best to obtain the objects of their organization. Mr. Kilbourn said that he thought the anuiversary of the adoption of the Constitution, which occurred in 1889, Was an event that’ ought to be properly cele: brated, and he was of the opinion that this an- Riversiry, as well as that of the discovery of America, could be included in the same plan, which proposed the establishment of a perma: nent exposition in this city. There was no dif- ference of opinion expressed as to the appropri- tenes of observing both of these anniverss Ties, or _as to thelr being centered in this city ‘The question that seemed to be of present im portance was first us to the plan, and, second, ow it could be put in practical shupe. Mr. Kilbourn was of the opinion that the committee had nothing to do with # plan, could expect to do now was to bring the mattcr to the attention of Congress and endeavor to se- cnre the appointment of A SPECIAL JOINT COMMITTEE to take this subject under consideration. Then after a committee had been appoluted, the citi- zens andeothers could pour in their suggestions and plans. Some one suggested that as the land belong- ing to the government would have to be used, they had better appeal to the District commit. tees and try to interest them. In addition, the members of these committees were more familiar with the District. It was pointed out that if this proposed celebration had only a local interest, or Was regarded simply as local to the District, It would be a tailure. The thing to be alined at was to nave Congress determine to observe the anniversaries of these great events in our national history, as it was proper that they should do, then tox upon the cupi- tal city as the proper location. Then it would become a national affair, and something that the whole nation would take a pride in, Tt was pi that @ memorial should be sent to Congress, signed not only by citizens of the District, but those residing in all parts of the country. | Another gentleman pro that the whole committee take upon fiselt duty of seeing as many members of Con; as possible, and talking with them and see what they think about it, and then, with the information thus gained, they could confer to- ther more intelligently as to a proper plan. {twas suggested that they could hardly talk about the matter unless they knew exactly what they Wanted, and Mr. John A. Baker thought that the committee had better draw up fome plan, so that the members might have something ‘to reter to. AN OUTLINE PLAX, In response to this suggestion Mr. Kilbourn rew up in the rough, as he sald, the general scope of what they ought to try to accomplish This was simply the statement that these an- niversaries should be observed by the govern- ment in the establishment here of a perma- nent exposition, where provision could be made for the states to have permanent build- ings where could be exhibited products of their aris, industries and resources, undyalso that the republics of Northern, Central and South Amer ica be invited to take part. This was adopted as an expression in general of the views of the committee, and a sul mmittee was, mt uted to express these views in a more extended and exact manner, as foliows: W. B. Webb, Geo. C. Gorham, W. 8. Hutchins, Dr. Z. T. Sowers, Simon Wolf, Hallet Kilbourn, John A. Baker, cl 8. Hill, A. D. Anderson. Messrs. E. W: Fox, E.Kurts Johnson and ‘A. D. Anderson were appointed to confer with raiiroad presi- dents and secure their ideas as to the best plans for organizing this great undertaking. ‘A letter was read from Minister Soteldo, of Nenesuela, in which ne heartily indorsed the and pu es Of the proposed commemo- | nd added that the project was “emt | y entitied to the patronage and heartfelt | sympathies of all our republics and citizens of be American system.’ ‘A letter was also read from Mr. C.K. Lord, the passenger axent of the Baltimore and Ohio rail in which he said that be was in favor of the objects of the committee, and would do all in his power to further the ‘interests of the enterprise. ‘The secretary said he had an interview with President Garrett, who had promised aid, and had mentioned many citizens of Baltimore who would support it. The ministers of the fifteen South and Central American republics ‘would also aid the enterprise. CAPT. SYMONS’ PLAN, The chairman had read a letter, directed to him, from Capt.
