At all CAMP TYRANNY How the Commonwealers Were Oo- cupied There Today, NOT PARTICULAR AS 0 COOKING Carl Browne Talks of Their Plan of Action. ARE HERE TO STAY The camp of the Commonweal of Christ Presented a livelier appearance today than it has for a week or more. Gen. Coxey did not take out an exhibition license this morn- ing, and consequently the gates were open to the free admission of the public, although box was prominently displayed at the gate which bore a legend to the effect that con- tributions from visitors would be thank- fully received. In consequence of the new departure hundreds of the curious made their way to the encampment and made themselves at home among the common- wealers. Just inside of the main gate stood a little table, behind which was seated one of the scribes of the army, who requested the signatures of visitors to a petition ad- dressed to the District health authorities requesting them to rescind their notice to Coxey and his followers to vacate the spot now devoted to the camp. It was amusing to see the manner in which the so-called property holders responded to the invita- tion. They were for the most part citizens of the colored persuasion, and their educa- tional advantages had not extended so far as to equip them in the management of the pen. Consequently nine-tenths of the names appended to the paper were written by the commonwealer in charge. The individuals who favored the demand made by the doc- ument would tell their names, their places of residence, the trades they followed and Jones Getting Ready for Work. the labor organizations they belonged to, if any. Then they would wander off around the inclosure and expatiate upon the great improvement made upon the premises by the commonwealers, and what a shame it Was to drive such a nice lot of men away from such a splendid camping place. Cc imbus Jones’ Hospitality. A great attraction for visitors, both white and black, was the tent occupied by Chris- topher Columbus Jones, the leader of the Philadelphia contingent. It is a small af- fair, situated in the south end of the grounds, and a glance into its interior this morning illustrated the wonderful hospital- ity which characterizes the average Ameri- ean citizen. Stretched out on the brick floor, with only a piece of The E Star between his body and the bricks, and with @ part of the same paper covering his face, was Mr. Jones, fast asleep. His attitude was one of absolute repose, and his feet, covered with well worn base ball shoes, were stretched wide apart and were the only striking features of his personality that the curious could gaze upon. Upon the little cot, which stood in the tent, lay the recumbent figure of a heavily bearded man, who was a guest of the host, His head rested upon a pillow, and he to enjoy the soft mattress that ed the rest of his body. His snore was a deep, reverberant bass; the snore of Chi er Columbus Jones wes a nasal tenor that al- most approached the falsetto. Together they created a duet that was duly ap- preciated by those whose good fortune it was to listen to it. At the cooking plate of the Philadelphia contingent the men were engaged in preparing for the afternoon mcal and appeared to be thoroughly satisfied with the meager appliances of their de- partment. The same knife that cut the fish was used with democratic carelessness on the bread and the bacon as well, and the fact that the viands were to be cooked in pots, kettles and wash boilers on the open fire outside of the kitchen, instead of upon a fully equipped range, did not appear to disturb them a bit. While many of the men were sleeping underthe awning and in the pa- vilicn tent on thin piles of dirty straw,num, ous groups of them were playing ca! in one place five commonwealers wi ¥- ing pedro for five cents @ corner. One | y individual had a dollar the best of it, be- | cause he had won five straight games? The men all appeared to be pleased at the out- look for the excitement, which, it was sup- posed, would braak the monotony of their existence this afternoon, and the dozen or two of them who were spoken to by a Star reporter, as to what course they would pur- sue in case the authorities should drive them out of the present encampment, all said that they proposed to follow Marshal Carl Browne's instructions to the letter. Carl Browne's Talk. The leather-coated marshal was found in the headquarters tent. The white feather he wore on the day of the parade ito the Capitol was replaced by a faded pink that seemed entirely in keeping with the dirty badge above which it was stuck. A string of amber beads encircled Browne's neck, and he was as willing to talk as he usually is when The Star deporter approached him. “There has been no change whatever in our program,” said Browne. “I have told you all along that we were going to stay right here, and we are going to do it until the last man of us is arrested. If we are sent to jail, why, when we are released at What Made Jones Sleepy. the expiration of our terms, which may be sixty days, we will come back here again. | I have been drilling my men in instructions to this effect for the last three days and nights, and every one of them will follow those instructions to the last letter. I sup- pose that all of us are going to be arrested. Coxey is going to jail, and I am > jail, and every one is going to jail. We will make no resistan: Save a passive one, to the police if they are ordered to take us | into custody. If there is any breach of the peace they will break it first, as they did at the Capitol, but we will not resist with force any attack any more than we did up there. To stay here,” he continued, “is a matter of necessity, and not of choice. Of course, if we can get another place suitable for an encampment, we will go to it. Mr. Coxey is out today looking at several! tracts, and may find one that will prove suitable for our purposes. But in case he ts not suc- cessful, why, here we will remain, in ac- cordance with the I have just out- lined. We are not captious in this; the sim- ple fact is that we are forced to the wall. There is no place for us except the streets, and I am sure that evethe health authori- ties would not contend that the sanitary ar- rangements in the streets will be better than those in this encampment Yes, sir; we are here to stay. That's what we came for, and that’s what we are todo. It will be found that we are buckle! ; e @ western | to A Weak Digestion strange as it may seem, is caused from a lack of that which is never exactly digested—/at.

Ohio. They were engaged for the purpose of taking care of his horses and, of course, having visible means of support, they cannot be arrested as vagrants. If all the rest of us except these two men are treated as you indicate in your question, Sam and ‘Texas’ will still be at liberty. Mr. Bensinger, the owner of the property, has agreed to permit the horses to remain here and for the tents and our outfit generally to be kept standing just as they are. The authorities can’t arrest the horses or Lents, so if we have to go to jail they will be taken care of in the meantime and will be here awaiting our occupancy when we get out. Did you see that wagon that 1 started out this morning?” he continued. He led the way to his panorama wagon, in the shafts of which the fine stallion, Conservative, junior, was fretting and cur- Yetting in evident anxiety to start off. “Texas” held the reins, and upon the up- rights which have heretofore been devoted to holding up the fearful pictures which Browne distinguishes by the name of a panorama was a white cotton cloth on which was painted: “Commonweal of Christ, “Camp Tyranny is now open free “For the impartial of Everybody. si at 3 p.m.” “The police have given me permission to have that wagon driven through the streets of Washington,” said ughly unsanitary in its arrangements as the health authori- ties would have the general public Yes, the forty-eight hours mentioned in the notice demanding our vacation of this place will end at 12 o'clock today, but I do not think it will be carried into effect until tonight, if at all, and, anyhow, I am sure our speaking will come off without any in- terference.” To Earn His First Honest Dollar. Browne said that he was about to earn the first honest dollar he has had the op- portunity of making for several months, by writing an article, accompanied by some of his pictures, for a New York newspaper, and he excused himself in order to get to work. Confederate Veteran White, who was one of the advance guards sent down by Coxey and Browne to block the schemes Getting Supper. of Unknown Smith, said to the reporter that he was perfectly willing to go to jail with the rest of the commonwealers in case it be necessary, and that every other man now in camp felt equally determined upon the subject as himself. He said the cause of so many desertions during the past week was because the deserters did not have the faith strong enough within them to permit the proper exercise of self-sacri- fice on their part. ——— Pythian Circle Entertainment. The Pythian Circle, composed of iadies and gentlemen residing in the southeastern section of the city, was greeted with a larce audience in Odd Fellows’ Hall, Navy Yard, last night, on the occasion of its first en- tertainment. The following program was appreciatively rendered, Maj. Hd Donn be- ing master of ceremonies: Piano duct, Misses V. Jennings and A.

Representative Lafe Pence, in his Police Court speech in the Coxey case, said: “The only men who are out of employment here are the men who have held office in the de- partments and have lost their positions, and the men who have been in the city dure ing the whole of the present administration vainly iting a chance to squeeze their way in.” A correspondent of The Star, who signs himself “Once a Workingman,” says: “I would like to inquire where Represen- tative Lafe Pence gets his authority for the above statement. There are hundreds of unemployed here who are not of the class he quotes so glibly about. Neither do they belong to the gang of organized mendicants he is so deeply solicitous about. If he would take a rest from his arduous duties in the Police Court and correctly in- form himself upon this and other subjec:s jhe might be less disposed to make such statements.” —~2— Deserted Years Ago. After a married life of thirty-five years, Mary A. Curtis today filed a petition for a | divorce from Chas. H. Curtis. Mrs. Curtis states that they were married in New York on the 20th of January, 1859, and that her husband abandoned and deserted her in February, 1878, since waich time he has contributed nothing to her support. Their children, she says, are all of age. —— ‘Want to Sell to Mrs. Childs. John F. Cook, guardian of Samuel Le Count Cook, today filed a bill in equity against Samuel Le Count Cook and eight others interested in the estate of the late John F. Cook, sr., praying for the sale to Mrs. Emma B. Childs, widow of the late George W. Childs, of lot 6, square 198. The guardian and ward are made defendants in the suit, and it is stated that the defendants nave agreed to sell the lot, containing 6,462 square feet, for $6 per square foot.
