A Posse of Fifty to Set Out in Pinkney’s Pursuit.

If definitely located the greatest part of the posse will gradually close in upon him, while the remainder will closely guard those places which the murderer is supposed to havo Visited for food since his eseapo last Thursday. Sheriff Middicton proposes to keep his men constantly im the fisld by day and right unl Pinkney is retaken or it ia conclusively ascer- tained that ke has left his present supposed hiding pluce in tho swamp near Croom, about tive or six miles from here. Jt was reported hero this morning, however, that Pinkney had mado his way into Mat= tawoman swamp, just across in Charles county, and was yesterday making his way along Matt:woman creek to hero it empties into the Potomre river, about five or six miles below Indian Head. There, it is sad, Pinkney will attempt to croes the Poto- mac into Virginia, ‘This is one of the courses it was first believed the murderer would take, and by many hero the story is strongly be: lieved, Nothing definite had been learned of Pink- ney this afternoon, but the result of Sheriff Middleton's Ce tonight is now anxiously awaited, and it is thought that if the sheriff succeeds in getting the fifty men ho expects Pinkney’s recapture may be effected tonight or tomorrow morning.

Brown to reprieve Barber, Pinkney’s follow murderer, until after Pinkney ehall havo boen recaptured. reason for such oa step, ‘it is explained, is the fact that until Pinkney, the now generally believed principal in the crime, is retaken it would be unjust to execute Barber whilo his more guilty companion is at large So it is proposod iu tho vont of a failuro to recapture Pinkney in a reasonable time to request tho governor to postpone the day of execution, Juno 30, until such meas would permit the joint exeeution of the two men. ee IN WALL STREET TODAY, The Market Oponed Quiet, but a Rally in Prices Set In, New Yons, May 29.—Tho stock market opened quiet and about steady.

Moore touching the Bush case was submitted to the Commissioners this afternoon: Hovse ov Rerneseyrarivus U.S, Wasinxorox, D.C., May 24, 1893, Col, Wm.G, Moore, Superintondentof the Police, Sir: For eoveral months Mr. Henry Bush has been selling beer to be drank on the premises at No, 924 9th street northwest, The fact must be well known to all the officers on that beat, My agents, Pitney & Bradford of No, 1305 F street northwest, leased tho promises to Mr. Bush upon his’ representation that the place was to be used asaun office for the receipt of orders and for storage pending delivery of their beer. Upon no other understanding could he have secured the lease, Through deception he entered on the premises and being there he has carried on his business in violation of the polico regulations, Judgment bas been entered for the premises, but Mr. Bush has taken an appeal, though his lease has expired and he bud no defense. and [ presume is still violating your regulations ut place mentioned. Ido not understand why your regniations have not been enforced in this case and sug- est that now 18 a good time for you to show t there is some power vested in you. It seems that heretofore the beneilt of every doubt hus been given the party supposed to be the violator of the law. Would it not be well to close such places at once and let them show their right to open rather than to permit them to keep open until you or the Commis- sioners, through the courts, have demonstrated the power and authority of’ the government to enforce its own lawa, ‘Those men are always willing to delay and to fight for delay when by #o doing they are per- mitted to continue in ‘their violations of the police regulations. I advixe that you put them in the position which, if they have any doubt as to the true intent of the statute, will lead them to urge rather than delay action. In other words, if their right to sell’ liquor is, not clear their places should be closed until their right to tell is established, I demand thet this be done with Mr. Bush at No. 924 9th strect northwest, Very respectfully, Heysy M. Baxen, MAJ, MOORE'S REPLY, Hon. Henry M. Baker, House of Representa- tives, Washington, D. ©. Sir: Referring to your communication of the 24th instant, in which you intimate that there has been great laxity and inactivity on the part of the police in enforcing the regulations gov- ering the sale of liquors in the care of one Henry Bush, I have to state that your informa- tion. is in ‘fault in thie, that ‘the licensing and sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia is governed —en- tirely by laws made by Congress and not by regulations promulgated by the Jommission- ers; also that the police, in’ the instance cited by you, have been more than diligent in the exercising of their authority and enforcement of that law, to the end that if violated by the person to whom you refer he might suffer the penalties imposed end forced to a discontinu- ance of the trafic. ‘Tho polico have not beon informed as to the purposes or from whorh Henry Bush rented Promises 921 0th street northwest beyond what was visible to them in the performance of theiz ‘om the records of the police do- appears that they have been zeal- lant in their endeavors to suppress numerous charges of _viola- tion of the law. Mr. Henry Bush was fined $50 and appealed the caso for selling liquor on Sunday; he was fined $5, which be id. upon the charge of profanity: for threats t attorney nolle proseatied his caso; and a second time the court dismissed the case when ke was charged with selling liquor on be was Hned $5, which be paid, second cflouse of profanity; it nnd battery, the ense was the district’ attorney; for gan unlicensed ber under the oxist- ing law, tho enforcement of which bas been nullified to some extent by reason of the ques- tions which have arison ia putting it into exe- cution. his case is now awaiting final decision from the Court of Appeals, and upon this de- cision depends the lezality of the last act of Congress for the present license yenr. T inclose you herewith oxtracts from the press concerning the Bush ease, with the assurance that when ‘the decision of the court and tho action of the Commissioners of the District authorize this department to suppres viola- tions under the ne: if the party com- plained of comes within its scope, the same will be rigidly enforced.

Continuing, he says: “One of your honorable body is reported as saying ‘that people will protest whorever it is located.” Have tho people not a right to protest when they see a pest house in their midst and within two squares of pitol street, a street destined to be one e finest in the city? “\ben a corporation wishes to build a rail- road or street car line the citizeus are in- vited to come before yon and enter any protest ther wish. Why cannot we have the same privilego to uppear before you now? If, ay the medical men state, ‘that it is not a menace to health,’ why not locate it nearer the center of population, If there is not _astitable place on land outside the city in dle of the Potomac, where it will not be an in- property or infringe on our rights a8 As one who has Iebored for several ry | tion, L wish to provest.”* 3 do. good to’ choice, 14416; | rs to buiid up and improve this eastern sec- John H.
