Ask Coxey’s Advance Guard Liberated by Judge Kimball. |THE MEN LOOKING FOR WORK Stories of the Travelers Told in Court Today. TO BE CARED FOR Three hours after the announcement in | Saturday’s Star of the approach of a party of Coxeyites the Texas contingent of the commonweal army reached here in a box forty-one in the party, some of them hav- ing left the body and started out on their own responsibility. This division of Coxey's army was organized at San Antonio, Tex., March 22, with Frank Murrill as captain, but he got work at Texarkana and resign- ed. G. W. Primrose, a painter, was elected to fill the vacancy, and the men, under his direction, continued on their journey to the national capital. |sion when the start was made, and before | leaving Texas each of them signed the fol- lowing rule: | “We, the undersigned, associated for the purpose of moving east are bound in the foliowing: “We agree to conform to the following rules and regulations to govern our asso- ciation, and that we appoin ptain with the power to select one or more assistants to enforce them. We agree to remain together unul we have reached our objective point, ept when empivyment shall be offered. ‘In such cases any one may leave the association. ‘A committee shall be appointed to walt upon the civil authorities of any town we may enter for the purpose of soiiciting either work or aid. “There shall be no begging on the part of members without permission of the captain. “The penalty tor breaking any of the above rules or any others that may be made shall be expulsion, with any other punishment that the association shail see | Ht to inflict.” The Arrival Here, The party reached Cincinnati last week with but forty-eight men, there having been a number of desertions and others having left because they had obtained employ- ment. As published in Saturday's Star, Maj. Moore was notified of the presence of the members of the army of peace at the little railroad town of Brunswick by Capt. Gran- non of the Baltimore and Ohio detective and he was also notified of the cut of Cincinnati by Chief secret service division of the partment. A freight train with Capt. Primrc retary Mercado and thirty-nine in a box car left Brunswick at 3:30 Satur- day afternoon and the train stopped at Eckington soon after 7 o'clock. Maj. Moore and Inspector Hollinberger had consulted about the matter of handling the supposed tramps and the result wes that several police lieutenants, sergeants and privates, with four patrol wagons, greeted the commonwealers and drove them to the several police stations. A charge of bringing vagrants to the city was preferred against Capt. Primrose and his followers were chargel, under the vagrancy law, with being vagrants. Malf Starved. When the freight train stepped and the doors were thrown wide open, Capt. Austin, who was in charge of the police, inquired of the men if they were hungry, and the response came, “We have had nothing to eat since we left Cincinnati, except a few pounds of chracers and some coffee.” It was reaily a crowd of half-starved men, who had banded together to come here because of the Coxey agitation. Many of them are foreigners, but they had not the appearance of the average bum or full-fledged tramps, as the police know them. Their arrest proved a genuine charity, for soon after they were locked up at the police stations they devoured bread by the loaf, and drank coffee as though they had not seen food for months. | The men denied that they had any con- nection with Coxey’s army, although they admitted that their coming here was the result of the Coxey ement. “It was starve in or come east and chance something b was the general tone of the statement Each man has his own story to tell. of them had lived in this s Some tion and went goods and styles suitable for | 2‘Old Timers.’ car from Brunswick, Md., and there were _ There were eighty-four men in this divi- | their gold-mine anticipations did not ma-! terialize, and they wanted to return this way. Others claim to have left their ifamilies in a destitute condition, and thought they would come here and secure some means by which they could send money back to their homes. Some of the men, however, are undoubtedly of the tramp order. “At St. Louis,” said one of the members of the party, “we disbanded and started out to look for work, but forty-eight of us did not succeed, and so we started this way.” Brought Up Today. | Yesterday the forty-one strangers spent @ quiet day in the police stations, where they did not have to wend their way | through the rough weather, and where they were sure of at least two good meals. That change of conditions, despite its sud- denness, was a most welcome one, and they | conducted themselves as if they fully ap- | Preciated a good thing when they got it. This morning they were driven to the Po- j lice Court and crowded into the cells and corridors there while Judge Kimball dis- | Posed of the numer: other cases coming before him. In anticipation of the men being given a trial this morning, a great }erowd of spectators congregated in and about the court house, the court room not even half accommodating those who sought admission. The men evidently had a num- ber of friends, for Clerk Harper was con- stantly besieged by persons who explained that they desired to represent the men when the ease was reache Among these were Mr. Herman J. Schulties of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, Attorney Geo. K. French, Representative Hudson of Kan- sas, Attorney A. A. Lipscomb and several | others, The Lender First. | Tt was 11:15 before the men were called | for trial, and Mr. Andrew A. Lipscomb | Stated that he and Representative Hudson | appeared for the accused | he would propose trying the men in masse, j but Mr. Lipscomb objected, stating that humanity should net be tried in bulk Mr. Pugh then called the case against Geo. W. Primrose, who was charged under the act of the old corporation with bring- ing the men into the city. | Mr. Lipscomb raised the point that the men had not been brought into the city until brought in by the police, and that the old corporation had no power to pass | Mr. such a law. Pugh agreeing he nolle | prossed the and then called case against Wiley W. Arnbeim, another member of the advance guard, who was, | like his fellows, charged with vagrancy. Legal Points, Mr. Lipscomb then demanded a jury trial, which was refused, and then, after he had | noted an exception, he entered a demurrer against the information, urging that it bad, because, among other things, Congress | had no power to pass those portions of the act of July 2, i802, which declare as an of- | fense “that one Is likely to become charge- able to the District of Columbia as a pau- per, and that having no visible means of support is an offense,” and that portion of said act which creates as an offense “that a person cannot give a good account of him- self." Judge Kimball overruled the demurrer, stating that, as his court was an inferior tribunal, he did not feel justitied in deciding that Congress had not the power to pass the act. The defendant's counsel noted an- other exception, and after Mr. Geo. K. French had notified the court that he would appear for such of the men as were mem- bers of the Typographical and Cigar Makers’ Union, Mr. Pugh called Sergeant Wall as the first witness, He stated that the forty- one men were arrested near Eckington | shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday evening, a I jarge force of police having gone out to! Kington to await the arrival of thet | freight train bringing the car in which the} | forty-one men were discovered. All the men were found in one box car and offered no, | resistance to arrest, Further Testimony, Lieut. Teeple gave similar testimony, ex- plaining that the men were locked up at the different precincts—ten at his station. He found about $1.50 on the ten, a pair of pinchers, plyers, combs and similar articl Sergt. Cross testified about to the e effect, stating that a paper, purporting to {contain the rules and regulations of the | command, was discovered among the met The paper was not admitted in evidence and Detective James Hutchinson of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad testified that jhe had followed the men some distance down the road; that they took possession of the box car at Parkersburg, and that the conductor of the freight train was afraid to ask the men for fare. He described the | conduct of the men, stating they were un- der the command of Capt. Primrose. | Mr. Lipscomb then entered a de rer to! had ating that the and were the evidence, claiming that the ch not been sustained, and s men had committed no offense, honestly seeking employment.

Counsel for the men would not so agree, stating that pariles here would care for the | men while they were seeking employment | here. Judge Kimball then overruled the demurrer to the evidence, when the defend- ant, Arnheim, took the stand. Arnheim's Story. | | Arnheim stated that he was twenty-four] years of age, born in w Orleans, and had | met the men in St. Louis, He was a coach- man and gardener and had joined the com- mand with the hope and in the belief that He} t he was a member of the Pre by so doing he could find employment. also said th byterian been a la the men had been granted the use of the 743, 745, 747, 751 dtu st. we, West to grow up with the country, buti box car and bad occupied it from there un- | , Prosecuting Attorney Pugh stated that. { til reaching this city.

The Leader Explains. The defense then called Capt. George W. Primrose as a witness, who stated that he | was born in Baltimore, and had been raised here. In San Antonio an organization was termed of men for the purpose of going east for work. From there eight-four men had started. At Taylor one man got work, at Palestine, three, and at Texarkana, seven; there being about forty-seven men in the command when it reached St. Louis. At Cincinnati they took the box car in which they arrived here. Men seeking membership in the command — were closely examined as to thelr charac- he would accept whatever work | would be given him, and he believed that} Were the Tributes Laid on Father Walter's Bier, BISHOP KEANES HOVING ADDRESS | Last Rites to the Dead Priest at St. Patrick's. - 'AN IMMENSE CONCOURSE ter, and only men of good. moral character , were admitted. So far as he knew, there was not a thief in the command, and not a man had, to his knowledge, drank a bit of lquor. When the former captain drew out he became captain. At Cincinnati the chief ef police took them into custody, fed them and then sent them on. At the freight rd there the station master or agent gave them the car, regretting that he could not give them work. Capt. Primrose then detailed the inci- dents of their journey from Cincinnati to Washington, stating that their occupancy of the car had never been objected to, nor had the men been requested to pay any ‘are. re Judge Kimball he stated that they started from San Antonio with several a rations, and that on the way, at var- fous points, tood and money had been vol- untarily furnished them, At St. Louis the command hed virtually beer disbanded, and the company reorganized. About six or seven men had joined the command since eaving there. that his command was not a part of Cox- ey’s army, and that he neither knew Coxey nor had he ever had any communication with him or with any of his (Coxey’s) peo- | e. He admitted that he had read in the newspapers of Coxey and his army, but that was all he or his command knew of him, The Men Dismissed. No further testimony was) offered on either side, and Judge Kimball, in dispos- ing of the cases against the men, said that he had become convinced that the men were not tramps, but that they were me- chanics and laborers out of employment, and had come here honestly seeking work. He had, therefore, determined to discharge all of them. He wished the men to understand, how- ever, that they would have to either get work at once or leave the District. If they did not they weuld certainly become chargeable upon the District, and in that event would be brought before him, when he would commit them to the work house as vagrants. Judge Kimball explain- ed that he understood that there were men | marching on to Washington who were merely tramps, and he wished to give no- tice that no matter how numerous they might be he would have no hesitation in committing them as vagrants if, as the newspapers described, they were nothing but an army of vagrants. Judge Kimball's decision was greeted with some slight attempt at applause, which demonstration on the part of the throng which crowded the court room was quickly checked, and then, as Clerk Harper called off the names of the forty- one men, they were let out of the pen and marshaled in line on the street by Capt. Primrose. Taken to Lunch, The court room was packed all during the trial and several hundred were denied ad- mittance because there was not enough for them. not get in the court room, however, did not pt. Primrose stated to Judge Kimball | | A community this morning dropped the tribute of its tears upon the bier of a humble and holy man whose life had been @ benison to those among whom it had been Spent. From far and near; from the man- sions of the ~ich and the modest abodes of the poor; from cloister and from cottage | eame the thousands to throng the vast edifice of St. Patrick’s Church with a grief- stricken gathering. In the crowd were | none of the curious, attracted by the solemn | Pomp and splendid ceremony of the Roman | Catholic Church. Prelates, priests and peo- ple were inspired alike by their hearts’ im- pulses to pay final homage on earth to clay that had been the tenement of all that was good and benevolent and whence had fled @ soul whose every inspiration had been ; noble and whose only sorrow had been | caused by the sufferings of others. To | those who wept at Father Walter's funeral lit needed none of the eloquence and emo- tion of even so great an orator as Bishop Keane to teach the lesson of the dead priest's life. 1t was as familiar to them as the daily round of their own existence, and |there were few who bent their heads in reverent sorrow. who could not have told a | secret chapter of its sweet influence upon themselves. So they came to bid farewell to all that was earthly of an unerring mon- itor, a steadfast guide, a strong and earnest jhelper, an unfailing and beloved friend, | whose epitaph among their heart beats. Long before 9 o'clock the streets leading to St. Patrick's were given up to little pro- cessions of people bent on the errand of sadness and the entrance to the church was packed with thote who had arrived still earlier to secure accommodations within. When the doors were opened to the ticket holders the edifice rapidly filled. The sun- light falling through the stained glass win- dows lighted up the interior with a soft and holy light, making even more solemn the |somber black draperies that covered the columns and adding to the gentle radiance of the tapers that shed their mellowness upon altar and coffin, Floral Tributes. The latter, covered with black cloth, rest- ed in the center aisle in front of the altar rail. At its head and foot was a candelabra resting among banks of Easter and calla Llies, and a great mass of the former flow- ers rose from a stand at the head of the coffin. Along the altar rail were a row of magnificent floral offerings, one of the most striking of which was a huge cross formed of ivy and covered with calla lilies, | from amor g which sprang countless sprays room for the dead was begun, The fact that they could ajl of the clergy uniting in the responses. of lilies of the valley.

When the van would appear at the build- ing to take away a small number of the many prisoners who had been held for various offenses, a rush from across the streets would follow, and it was not until after 1 o'clock that the police made any effort to lear the crowd and xive pa: by a ance to pass along without coming in con- tact with some of those who had spent the the court in the warm sun.

He would frequently say that he feared neither man nor the devil, and that he alone feared the blessed Lord. “What @ soldier he would have made!” exclaimed the preacher. “Rows of bayonets and park® of artillery would have had no terrors for him.” Bishop Keane had heard him say often that his archbishop was at pleasure \to put him im the lowest place in the dio- | cese. He was humble and lowly. He had no will of his own. In his ecclesiastical su- perior he recognized no human authority; all was spiritual and divine in his com- mands, and he followed them gladly and without question, for Father Walter was @ man of duty. He needed no coaxing or per- suading to do his duty, and when he show- e4 others what their auty was he conside ed he had done his duty toward them. He was a friend full of cheer, full of good will, Everybody knew that he would be a friend in need and would never fail to extend a helping hand when it was most wanted. Not many such men are made in any one | generation. It was no wonder he was so highly thought of by the people of Wash- ington. Whether Catholics or not, they said, “There's a model man; and such as he they sald must be one of the chosen of God.” “What a priest, what a man!” ex- claimed Bishop Keane. Huw the people of Washington will miss that familiar figure! Every one knew him. How he'll be missed by the citizens of Washington, who never knew him to fail to take Interest tn any Movement that meent the progress of the clty! How he'll be missed by his friends: how all will miss him; how I will miss him!

Bishop Keane closed with a peroration that was punctuate? by the sobs of the congregation, and at its conclusion the prayers for the dead were tntoned, and the multitude passed by the casket to take a Jast look at the face of the man who was loved so dearly. The funeral cortege was then taken up to Mt. Olivet cemetery, where the interment took place, the usual burial ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Sig being conducted by Cardinal Gib- ns. Every Catholic of prominence in Wash- ington who could secure admission to the church was present, and there were many jlaymen and ministers of other churches Present, among the latter being Rev. Dr. Domer, the well-known Lutheran divine. The prelates of the church present were Archbishop Ryan, Bishops McGovern of Harrisburg, Donoghue of Wheeling, Fole: of Detroit, and Archabbot Haid of Nort!
