Washington Monroe alias Frank Foster, a young colored man, was taken in enstody by Detective Carter this morning and locked up because there are two women who claim to have been legaily married to him.

How Recent Judicial Decisions Have Changed the Practice Here. POLICY CASES AND OTHER ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF U.S, LAWS GO FROM THE POLICE COURT TO THE CRIMINAL COURT, GREATLY INCREASING ITS BUSINESS—THE RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY. There have been so many decisions affecting the criminal law practice in this District ren- dered during the past year or two that when cases are brought before Police Court the lawyers avail themselves of ail sorts of motions and legal objections, so that the court bas had to sit almost trom morning until night on Many occasions in order to dispose of the large amount of business brought before it, The decisions mentioned, it is claimed, conflict with each other in such a manner as to throw doubt on the legality of the disposition of many cases tried in the P: Court and especially in cases involving offenses against the United States, THE GREEN DECISION, The decision of the Supreme Court of the District, reudered in the policy case of Edward Green last Monday, it was at first thought placed the criminal practice, so far as the Po- ice Court was concerned, in a very uncertain position, but such does not appear to be the case. On the contrary the decision. say Police Court ple. relieves that court to a con- erable extent, and uniess another decision rendered before action is taken by Congress that court will have plain sailing. THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Aftor the decision in the Callan case persons charged in the Police Court with offenses against the United States (not against the Dis- trict) could demand trial by jury. ‘They were entitled to trial by jury im the first instance, if they requested it. ‘The statate having given the Police Court certain jurisdiction it was a serious question where a man entitled to a jury trial and who asked for it should be tried, the Police Court having no jury. The question then arose whether the defendant would have to wait for legislation or whether he could be tried in the Supreme Court of the District, which was already provided with a jury in the criminal branch. A POLICY CASE SENT TO THE CRIMINAL COURT AND TRIED BY JURY. The case of Edward Green, for writing policy, was before the court and counsel de- manded a jury trial. A warrant was made out and Judge Miller sent the case along to the grand jury. The case went through the Crim- inal Court and the decision fully sustained the action of the Police Court. In rendering the decision the court stated that only the par- ticular case before it was being decided. In view of the decision in the Callan case and the facts that no jury has ever been provided for the Police Court; and that the jurisdiction in such cases was never taken from the Criminal Court, where it existed before the Pol! Court was formed, the effect of the decision will be that no case will hereafter be without a place of trial. All cases not coming within the constitutional right of trial by jury can be tried in the Police Court, triable by jury at common law can be sent to the Supreme Court of the District for trial until Congress provides a jury for the Police Court, thereby furnishing the constitutional machinery for the Police Court to exercise the jurisdiction conferred upon it by the act organ- izing that tribunal. If jury trials are domanded a great many ceses will go to the Criminal Court and so crowd the docket that it will necessitate the establishment of another crim- inal court, e question whether a particular case comes within the constitutional guarantee of trial by jury will have to be decided in cach case when raised. This does not, however, in- elude the alleged violations of the District ordinances which are treated as police regula- tions, and as such are triable by the Police Court. In the Green case, as the punishment was so severe, the court held that it was clearly within the category of cases in which the defendants were eutitled to jury trials and therefore sus- tained the action of Judge Mille: eee A POPULAK TEACHER, Miss Jennie P. McCauley Wins the Sun- day Herald Prize. The prize of a trip to Europe offered by the Sunday Herald to the most popular teacher in the public schools of the District has been awarded to Miss Jennie P. McCauley of the Greenleaf School, South Washington. She re- ceived 8,140 ballots of the 26,931 which were cast. Mr. J. T. Freeman, principal of the Peabody School, was second, receiving 7,753 votes; Miss E. K. Scott of the Henry Building being third, with 3,906; Miss Kate H. Bevard of the Conduit Road School being fourth, with 2,140; Miss Mattie Garges of the Pea- body School being fifth, with 1,649 votes, Miss McCauley in addition received a gold watch which Mr. Frank Hoffa offered to the successful contestant, and also a lot in the sub- urban subdivision of Deanewood. The compe- tition has aroused a great public interest both in and out of school circles. and the popularity of the already popular Herald is considerably increased thereby. ~~.» -- A Boy Drowned While Bathing.

The secret service division of the Treasury has discovered that a dangerous new $2 silver certificate counterfeit has been executed and put into circulation by an Itahan gang. It is of such a good character that an expert might be deceived. The bill, however, is a trifle smaller, being one-fourth inch shorter and one-sixteenth narrower. There are no silk threads in the paper, which is otherwise of an excellent qualit The note is of the series of 1886, check letter D, of the Kosecrans and Hyatt issue, bearing a vignette of Hancock rather poorly executed. A close examination will show that the figures of the numbering are not of the same size and that the engraving is in places slightly irregular.

ONE MORE VICTORY. 14, 1890. COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB. REGULARS AND SECEDERS, The Washingtons Captured a Game | A Washington Athlete Wins at Wilming- |The Status of the Rechabites—What From Newark Saturday. By almost perfect fielding and scientific team batting the Washington ball club was enabled to take « game from the Newarks Saturday, the score being 7 to 5. The contest was exciting throughout. Phillips and Riddle and Miller and Childs were the batteries. The home team was never hedded, although the visitors man- aged to tie the score in the fourth inning. Bader’s base running was the feature of the game, the nimble fellow being credited with five stolen bases, Newark batted fiercely, but the hits were generally made when no one was running and so were wasted. They made four three-base hits. In the fifth, with the score tied, Washington made $ runs and Newark 2, Bader hitting for a base, stole second and third and scored on Gleaso gle. Whistler sacri- ficed, Gieason stole thi who had gone to first on balls, scored on Hill's double. For the visitors Fields made a triple and scored on a similar hit by Childs, who was caught trying to tally on Smith's hit to Glea- son. Smith crossed the plate on a triple by Dooms. Washington made 8 hits and 1 error and New- ark 11 hits and 8 errors, ELSEWHERE. Baltimore had no trouble defeating Wilming- ton, 14to7.

Nicholas has been released. The League has swallowed the Brotherhood in Brooklyn and Boston. There is talk of transferring Buffalo's club to Detroit, where there 1s now a vacant field. Nothing has yet been done to settle the af- fairs of the home team and the players left town on their northern tour still in an assigned state. They have been partly paid.

Here are twelve games away from home. In order to retain its present position the club will have to win at least seven of them, as Worcester has now taken a turn and is winning games again. Harrisburg is said to be anxious to secure the Washingto: nchise, but it is not likely to be true, as it is evident from the letters from that city that notwithstanding the attendances on the Fourth of July the clubis ina shuky financial condition such as would hardly per- mit the purchase of a new franchise, ‘The race now stands thus: Club.

The trial of Policeman Dean, charged with assaulting Sam Hutchinson, colored, which was begun in the Police Court Thursday, was con- cluded Saturday afternoon. Mr. Mullowney, the prosecuting officer, was willing to submit the case without argument, but as the court intimated a desire to hear from the government he made a long speech claiming @ conviction. Lawyer Moss spoke for the defense, and asked the prosecuting attorney what particular testimony he relied upon for a conviction. Mr. Moss eulogized the officer, and spoke at some length on the conflicting evidence given by the three ministers and others, DECISION OF THE JUDOR. Judge Milier reviewed the evidence in the case, which, he said, was so conflicting that no court or jury could come to the conclusion that the defendant was guilty. If the complainant had been beaten and kicked, as described by the witnesses, the court doubted whether he would have been able to have attended court the next morning. But he was in court with- out any marks of violence about him except a blood-shot eye. In coming to a conclusion the court is not only to find that the officer struck a blow, but to decide whether from the sur- rounding circumstances the blow was justified, and whether it was necessary in order to main- tain the arrest. After referring to the law in the case the judge said that he could come to no other conclusion from the evideuce than to acquit the officer. The case, he thought. should have been taken to the police trial board and not brought to this court. pectin ob THE AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION. A Session of the Board of Managers Held in This City. The board of managers of the Amateur Ath- letic Union, which is to hold its fall games in this city in September, arrived here Suturday afternoon for the purpose of holdiag a busi- ness meeting to discuss prelimineries for the coming games, They were met at the station by a number of members of the Columbia Ath- letic Club and given a driven around town in a tally-ho, after which they were tendered a dinner at Woodley Inn.

SECRETARY BLAINE’S LETTER. His Suggestions as to an International American Monetary Union. The President Saturday sent to Congress with the following indorsement, ‘“Irecommend the suggestions and hope that they will meet with the prompt approval of Congress,” a letter from | Secretary Blaine on the subject of an interna- tional American monetary union. In his letter the Secretary says: The international Ameri- can conference recently in session in this cap- ital adopted the following report: The international American conference is of opinion that great advantages would aecrue to the commerce between the nations of this continent by the use of a coin or coins-that would be current at the same value in ail the countries represented in this conference and therefore recommends: 1. That an international American monetary union be established, 2. That as a basis for this union an interna- tional coin or coins be ed, which shall be uniform in weight and fineness and which may be used in all of the countries represented in this conference. . 3. That to give full effect to this recom- mendation there shall meet in Washington a commission composed of one delegate or more from each nation represented in this conference, which shall consider the quantity, the kind of currency, the uses it shall have and the value and proportion of the international silver coin or coins and their relations to gold. 4, That the government of the United States shall invite the commission to meet in Wash- ington within » year, to be counted from the date of the adjournment of this conference. It was hoped and expected by the confer- ence that the recommendation that the several nations interested be invi' to send delegates to ameeting of the international American monetary union at Washiagton on the first Wednesday of January next; that authority be granted for the appointment of three dele- gates on the part of the United States, and that an appropriation be made to meet the hecessary expenses. es GEORGETOWN.

C. Lee, Capt. D, L, Pitcher, Carroll W. Smith, Mrs. E. B. Russell and others. All of the speakers favored suffrage in some form, but none were eager to return to the scenes familiar in the District some years ago. It was heid that the example of Congre: dealing with the people here would in time Jead state legislatures to take control of city governments in their respective states; that ix a declaration to the world that popular gov- ernment isa failure; that local government would be gradually suppressed or its powers abridged, and that in state and national governments we should retain the form but lose the substance of liberty. ‘The Australian ballot system with the educa- jonal test was advocated as a sufficient secur- ity against the domination of tne ignorant of one or both races, and condit: suffrage as opposed to conditional suffering was accepte by all. It was held that the colored peupie of the District are the wealthiest, most refined and best educated of any negroes in the worid, and if their presence here causes all to be dis- franchised. as is generally admitted, then that act of disfranchisement declares negro suf- frage a failure and convicts our government of the gravest politi biuuder, It was also held that through an elective government all parts of the Disirict could better present their needs and that there would be less likelihood of per- sonal or sectional favoritism. Popular govern- ment was not deemed an unadulterated biess- mg. but it was generally agreed that by str ing it through the educational sieve the dregs could be pretty thoroughiy removed, Whe de- bates will be continued, and if Congress re- mains in session several eloquent members will be decoyed into this suburb.

The fight between the two factions in the order of Rechabites is still going merrily on, and there is no present prospect of any satis- factory settlement of their tronbies. Mr. A.M. Dewey of this city, who was elected high chief ruler at the recent convention in Hagerstown, said to a Stan reporter this morning that the natural result of the dissension had been tho formation of two practically distinct organiza- tions, and while the two were spending their time and energy in fighting each other tho arch enemy of the cause of temperance was having an excelient opportunity to get in his work, “I am decidedly surprised,” said Mr, Dewey, “at the statements Mr. Lee in Tue Stax Saturday, claims that his wing represents # while we are the seceders. This ly amistake, for we represent fully two-thirds of the organization and all the law and order is on our side, When the Balston Spa convention adjourned a year ago it was to meet this yenr in Rechabite Hail, Hagerstown. We met in Rechabite Hall, while the other faction, when they found they were not to have ail their own way, especially in the matter of the pres- ence of a member from New fork who has been legally unseated and also of achief ruler against whom charges lad been preferred and not yet investigated, the other faction seceded and held their meet- ings in the opera house. When we saw tho danger that threatened the organization from this trouble we proposed a compromise and the seceders promised to send a committee to conter with us. Instead of that they ecnt a deputy sheriff of the county to obtain the High ent records. He did not get them, however, for the courts recognized the fact that we had the right on our side.
