No formal commencement exercises of the Berkeley School of this city were held this year.

Your leaders have misled you and INDUSTRIALS IN COURT —— Several of Them Arrested in Georgetown Story of Destitution in Kelly’s Camp—Remarks by the Judge. And now some of the industrial army sympathizers are not only willing, but are anxious, to have the half-starved men move cn and desert this vicinity. Virginia and Maryland, as well as the District, are feel- ing the effects of the presence of so many men who have not proved themselves desirable citizens. The farmers in this vicinity are now complaining of depreda- tions committed by the so-called indus- trigls, and some of them even go so far as to charge that their crops disappear over night and find temporary resting places in the camps. There are more generals, colonels, majors and sergeants in the ranks of these different armies than there are about the drinking saloons of the city, and when rations are short these bearers of the tides come first In the “pass-around.” Ac- ecrding to the statement of one of the men, who had not taken a bath for several weeks, and who had been two days without food, there are about 800 of these men float- ing about here, and they are suffering for food. Throughout the country, as weil as in some parts of the city, especially George- town, these hungry individuals, who pre- tend to be crying for work, are begging for food, and many of them go so far as to demand it as a matter of right. In this way the women and children are being ter- rorized, and the police are now arresting all such persons found violating the law. Becoming Desperate. “There is nothing to eat in camp, and we are becoming desperate,” said one of the men arrested yesterday, and he undoubted- ly expressed the feeling of a large majority of those who left their homes and employ- ment to follow the call and march of the so-called “Commonweal of Christ.” Six of these alleged vagrants were ar- rested yesterday and hauled up before the Police Court this morning, where Judge Miller was emphatic in his denunciation of the leaders, who style themselves “gen- erals.”” Five of the prisoners were arrested in Georgetown, while the sixth man was ai rested in the county. His name was given as William Dugan, and his residence as St. Louis, Mo. Policeman Pierce arrested him at the house of Mrs. Brooks, on the Lough- borough road,a long distance from the camp of Kelly's alleged army across the river. Dugan, who is a strapping young man, has the appearance of being able to do justice on a farm at any kind of work. He called at the house and asked for food, and. while waiting for Mrs. Brooks to return from the pantry, Policeman Pierce walked in, learned the object of his visit and placed him wnd arrest. So many citizens had complained to the officer that he felt it his duty to arre: every member of the “commonwealers’ fcund on his beat. Dugen's Story. “Things have become terrible,” said Du- gan to the officer, “and I'm just getting desperate. But,” he added, “I'm not the only one who is starving; there are hun- dreds of them about here who are in the same condition.” His story to the court was that he came here Wednesday, and went over to the camp and was soon starved out. “I went to the house in the country terday and asked for work or food said, “and the lady said she had no work, but would give me food.” Judge Miller then took a hand in the mat- ter and questioned the man concerning his reasons for joining the army, and what he expects to do in the future. “I joined the army,” was his answer to the first question, ‘and came here with the others to see if the government wouldn't relieve us. We thought we would try to get the government to do something for us,” Vhere were you last employed?” ‘Canton, Mo.”* “What pay-did you get?” “I got $1.25 a day, but didn’t have full day's work, and so I coulda’: get my board out of it.” “Have you any family?” “No, sir.” He said that thus far he got nothing from the army except that Kelly, the so-called general, had given him some food. At New- port, Ohio, he said, the army disbanded,and Kelly told the men to get here the best way they could. “And,” he added, “they have not all arrived yet. He was led to believe that the army would succeed in getting Congress to do something and that the men would get work on the Mississipp!. What He Expected. “How did you expect to get work?” asked ' the judge. “Well, I can’t tell that, but the Jabor unions have been helping us right along.” “If they have been helping you,” said the court, “why are you begging?” “The food gave out.” Jadge Miller's Remarks. “You have been terribly misied,” said Judge Miller, “and everybody sympathizes with you, and there is no one on earth who dees not want to help you if you are really in earnest and want work. But the pecple won't help tramps and vagabonds. “This is a terrible state of affairs. Here you are, ceveral hundred in number, penni- less and without food, and here because of seme crazy idea in your head about what is to turn up.”” Further questioning brought out the true condition of affairs. In the camp over the river, the prisoner said, there are several hundred men without tents, blankets, food or even spring water. At the time of his arrest, he said, he had been without food for more than twenty-four hours, but never urtil he joined the army had he experienced sech suffering. He expressed a desire to return in the di- rection of his home in the west, and Judge Miller said he would certainly like to as- sist him back home. jon"t want to send you to the work the judge told him, “but if this begging keeps up that is just where you and your companions wiil have to go. “I heartily sympathize with you poor, misled men, but have not a bit of sympa- thy with your leaders. They are keeping you here in idleness and starvation for their own purposes. If I let you go what will you do?” : “YH go over to see Kelly and tell him I'm going home,” was his answer. Given u Chance. “The people here don’t propose to feed these organized bands of men,” the judge said. “If they would scatter over the county and make an honest effort to get | employment they would no doubt succeed, for farm hands are In demand in some sec- tions of the county. I believe you are an honest man and I am going to give you a chance to show your manly qualities.” ‘Thomas Baker, Patrick Kelly and Charlie Clark were then called up. They had been arrested fcr begging in Georgetown, and each man told his story. They came here as members of the so-called Kelly army, and one of them started with the army in California. He sald they fared well in the west and the people of Omaha and Council Bluffs wanted them to remain at those places and become citizens. Since leaving Iowa, however, they have suffered for the | necessaries of life, and the last tramp of thirty-eight miles was made without even a plece of bread. The two other men ar- rested were dismissed, because of the lack of evidence. One of the trio said the Chinamen had taken tBeir work froin them and compelled them to leave California. This ed the testimony, and the four roughly clad men stood to hear the closing remarks of the court. It was evident from their manner that they did not want to ge | down, but would rather take thelr chances on the road. | A Closing Lecture. “This thing of several hundred men being turned loose to terrorize women and ciil- aren,” the judge said, “has got to be it is now their duty to ieed you, and it’s a pity that there fs no law compelling them | to do so.

You will have to work or look to your leaders for food. They are responsible for your coming and they should be made to look after you.” The prisoners gave their personal bonds and left the court. —_—_——_—_ HE WENT DOWN. Jas. Bryant Drowned Yesterday. The present boating and swimming sea- son has developed an unusual number of fatal catastrophes on the Potomac. Yester- day another was added to the long list. The victim was James Bryant, a colored man, about twenty-three years old. Death was met near the causeway between the main and the Little rivers, near the Vir- ginia end of the Aqueduct bridge. Bryant was in swimming with several companions, among them Charles Thomas and Walter Howard. They had been in the water for some time, Bryant had become weak through long exertion. He was not a very good swimmer, but decided to e one long Plunge toward the middle before he came out. He called to his friends to follow him, if they dared. They started to imitate him. When about 200 feet from the shore,Bryant yelled for assistance. The men in his rear started for him hurriedly. As they went toward the weakening man, he was seen to come up and go down. Long before they had reached the place from where assist- arce was called the man had disappeared for good. Many efforts were made by the com- Panions to recover the body. Boats were obtained and drag hooks improvised. Noth- ing, however, was accomplished. Then the authorities were notified, and the police boat Joe Blackburn was sent to assist. At dark it went back to its wharf. Last night a crowd of the drowned man’s friends hired boats and hooks, and for hours dragged the river in all directions. ‘They were as unsuccessful as those who had preceded them in the work. At an early hour this morning the Turney boys, who have recovered many bodies in their time, began to assist in the dragging. the Potomac AN INFAMOUS OFFENSE. The Police Court Without Jurisdic- tion In Such Cases. Judge Hagner yesterday afternoon dis- charged the negro woman, Josephine Nor- ris, brought before him upon a writ of habeas corpus. The woman was sentenced in the Police Court to 330 days in jail for i into a house of ill fame for im- 1 purposes a colored girl under the age of eighteen years. She was tried upon an information, although the statute allowed a punishment as severe as ten years’ im- prisonment. The record recited that a jury trial was waived, but did not follow the terms of the statute, and recited further that the defendant, waiving a trial by jury, expressly requested to be tried by the judge. But, in rendering his decision, Judge Hag- ner directed the discharge of the woman for the reason that the offense was clearly an infamous one, requiring an indictment of the accused by a grand jury. The Police Court being without a grand jury, no indict- ment was possible in that court, and that tribunal, therefore, had not jurisdiction. The question of whether there was or was not a waiver of a trial by jury, therefore, became immaterial, but Judge Hagner in- timated that the Police Court record should always show, in the form of the statute, that not only was such a trial waived, but also that the defendant expressiy requested to be tried by the judge. Judge Hagner re- gretted that there had been in the case such a miscarriage of justice as to cause the discharge of an offender who so richly deserved punishment, and he at first di- rected that the woman be held for further proceedings according to law, but when he was reminded that the woman had already served part of the sentence he remarked that there was therefore nothing to do but to discharge her, which was accordingly done. ——— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, A Presentation to the New Collector of the Port. At the home of Mr. Jilson D. Entwisle, on 85th street, last night some of his most intimate friends assembled to present him with a suitable testimonial in honor of his recent appointment as deputy collector of customs for the port of Gecrgetown. The presentath»n committee consisted of Measrs. Geo. W. Casilear, C. H. Demar, W. B. Laub and Thomas Walsh, and the testimonial of @ handsome solid silver pitcher of artistic design and appropriate inscription. Mr. Casilear was the speaker selected by the committee. He complimented Mr. Entwisle on his appointment, spake of his eminent fitness for the office and wished him the utmost success in all his undertakings. Mr. Entwisle replied feelingly. He expressed deep appreciation of his friends’ compli- ment and hoped that their mutual esteem uld grow stronger daily. The little aifair was devoid entirely of political savor. Three of the committee were republicans and a like number democrats. All had met fre- quently at Mr. Entwisle’s home. Large quantities of ear corn and wheat yesterday came in by way of the Chesa- peake and Ohio canal from the shipping ports of Maryland. Corn is bringing 66 cents and wheat 56 and 57. From present indications there is no chance of this grain rising in value. Three boys were yesterday arrested for swimming in the Potomac without the usuai paraphernalia. They thought they had se- lected a place far encugh up the river to be out of the policeman’s range of vision, but they hadn't. ——- Bottom Dropped Out of Furniture. Spread the news!

The Reception of the Supreme Lodge —Lavish Displag of Fireworks— Rooms fee Visitors. The Pythian encampment subcommittee on the reception of the Supreme Lodge met yesterday afternoon at the Warder building. The meeting was called to order by Chair- man Richard Goodhart and Secretary John M. Kline read the minutes. It was decided to secure estimates as to the cost of decorating the hall in which the session: of the Su- preme Lodge will be held, with a view to submitting them to the citizens’ executive committee at its next meeting on Monday. Mr. Johnson stated that an error had been made in the estimate of cost for the Marine Band, which is to furnish the music for the reception to be tendered the Supreme Lodge at Convention Hall. The estimate was $250, and the cost of the band for that occasion would be $275. This matter will have also to be brought to the attention of the execu- tive committee. In connection with the decorations to be lavfshed on Bullders’ Ex- change, in which the Supreme Lodge will hold its sessions, it was suggested, as a gcod idea, to apply to the Secretary of the Navy for, the flags necessary to embellish the interior of the building, and then have them put in position by the seamen of the receiving ship Dale, because of the well known art of these mer: as drapers and dec- orators, when it comes to the question of handling flags. Mr. Goodhart was chosen to look into the matter of flags and bunting. It was determined to have the citizens’ ex- ecutive committée extend a formal invita- tion to Vice President Stevenson, Commis- sioner John W. Ross and Congressman C. C. Conn to deltver speeches of welcome on the night of the monster reception. Invita- tions “were extended by the subcommit- tee on reception of the Supreme Lodge, and accepted, but it was thought, at yesterday's meeting, that it would be the better plan to have these invitations emanate from the ex- ecutive committee. It was voted to hold a meeting at the Warder buil on each Thursday afternoon. — Preparations for Fireworks. Up to today there have been registered at the headquarters of the Pythian public comfort committee accommodations for somewhat above 25,000 visitors. This ts di- vided between the hotels, which can take 13,000, and private houses, whose landla- dies say that they can house 12,000. This number wants to be vastly increased within the next few days, as applications for quarters are beginning to come at a faster rate than at any other time during the period of encampment preparation. All the bcommittees are at work in the respective lines, and, it Is said, are doing well. Mr. Robert W. Moore of the committee on fire- works told The Star man today that he and his comrades on that committee were pre- paring to make Pennsylvania avenue on fireworks night blaze ike noonday. They did not, he said, propose to spend eo much money as similar committees in other cel ebrations had done, but they Intended to produce a lurid effectithat would be one of the biggest spectacles of flame and sizzle ever shot off along the asphalt ways of Washington.

Assembly 66, K. of L., Will Petition Congress to Pass the Bill. At the rezular meeting of District As- sembly No. 6, Knights of Labor, at Rechabite Hall last evening, a petition was adopted calling upon Congress to pass the bill providing for a new municipal building in Washington. The petition was for pre- sentation to the Senate and House District committees by the assembly's legislative committee. It reads as follows: We, the undevsigned, representing the trade and labor organizations of the Dis- trict of Columbia, cae oper petition your honorable body to enact at the earliest pos- sible date H. R. bill 7651, “A bill to provide for a municipal building and a court house in the District of Columbia.” We heartily indorse the repeated efforts of the District Commissioners, by 1ecom- mendation in their annual reports, by cor- respondence and by personal effort, to pro- vide accommodations for the municipal offices adequate to the demands for room for the proper transaction of the District’s business, and to comport in appearance with the dignity and importance of the local government of the capital city of the greatest nation. We believe that it ts discreditable to the nation that the municipal government at its capital is obliged to resort to "he use of rented buildings for office purposes, The exposure of all records to ¢estruction by fire in the present inflammable struct- ures is a constant menace to the interests of the District. Their loss would be irrep- arable, and would lead to endless contro- versy and entanglements. We therefore earnestly recommend the early enactment of said bill, especially the oe that the work be performed by jay’s labor, believing that only in that -vay can justice be done to the wage earners —— interests of the public duly pro- tected. —_+_— : ICHELBERGERS HERE. ‘The Two Young Men Charged With a Marder. Detectives Horne and Boyd reached here last night from Richmond with the two alleged murderers, William and Albert E\chelberger, who were held responsible by the coroner's jury for the killing of Henry Brickner. The prisoners, as published in yesterday’s Star, were under arrest in Richmond Wednesday afternoon, their cap- ture resulting from the efforts of the offi- cers in following the clue given by the father of the young men. William Eichelberger is twenty-two years old, while his Lrother is one year his se- nior. William was arrested during Wednes- day morning, when he went to the post office to get a letter he thought his parents might send him in the name of “William Lee,” and it was when he asked for this letter that he was arrested. Albert, who was probably not far away at the time, and who knew of his brother's arrest, went to the police later in the day and surren- dered. To the officers he admitted his identity and guilt, and endeavored to re- lieve his ycung brother, but his efforts in this direction were fruitless, for both young men were locked up and held until the arri- val of the Washington officers. Yesterday morning they expressed a willingness to return without the formality of requisition papers, and the officers left there with them last evening, reaching here about 11 o'clock. ‘This morning they were measured and photographed for the gallery, and were then sent to jail.
