THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. RUSSELLOLDBERG CASE A Further Continuance of the Hearing Until Monday. The Government Today Asks for Ad- ditional Time Owing to the No: Appearance of Witnesses. Major Alexander A, Russell, the pension examiner, was in Judge Miller’s court this morning, ready and anxious to get a hear- ing in the case of alleged forgery, brought against him by John G. Oldberg of the Indian office, but the government was not ready and Mr. Mullowney asked for a fur- ther pestponement. An effort was made yesterday to have the witnesses appear in the district attorney's office and make their statements, but Mrs. Oldverg posi- tively refused to obey the summons, and this was a genuine snag against which the prosecution did not expect to run. Then, too, George Terry, the notary upon whose testimony so much depends, was not to be found, and Mr. Mullowney expiained his absence by telling the court that he (Terry) was off with some theatrical troupe. “Is he playing notary in a show?” Mr. Carrington asked. “No,” answered Mr. Mullowney, “he was really a notary pubiic.” “This is a hard season,” Mr. Carrington sald, “and if he’s in a theatrical troupe he will probably have to walk home.” Mr. Carrington said that seldom in crim- inal cases will courts allow the prosecu- tion three continuances. He thought that when the warrant was sworn out on the 15th of this month the prosccuting witness should have been ready to appear in court. Mr. Mullowney further explained that some of the witnesses had refused to re- epond yesterday because of having been advised by counsel, and he said the gov- ernment is trying to locate the alleged forged deeds of trust. Two of them, he said, have already been located, It was admitted on both sides that there were peculiarities about the case, and coun- sel for the defendant said that they would meet the peculiarities in a very substan- tial way. Mr. Carrington then proceeded to eulo- gize his client, saying that the major was a@ man of honor and integrity and had never before been charged with an offense. He holds a position of trust under tie gov- ernment and he ts beyond doubt entitled to a speedy trial, as he does not want such a charge hanging over him. Judge Pettis said he saw no reason why there should be a further postponement. Mr. Oldberg and his wife, he said, are both im government service and if there has been any forgery they certainly know it. They are within the jurisdiction of the court, and he thought they should be in court today and make some kind of a show- ing. He referred to the charge as a “trumped up” case and said it was no doubt brought for the purpose of giving Major Russell's wife the advantage in the divorce case. The picture shown the notary, he said, was furnished by Russell's wife with the statement that she would put him behind the bars. He said he under- stood there were three notaries in the case and he could not understand why the other two could not supply the alleged deticiency. ; Judge Miller suggested to the prosecuting attorney that the case be put on trial and the witnesses summoned, and then if they don’t appear the machinery of the court will be set in motion to bring them There was some further discussion of the case and the court set the hearing for 1 o'clock Monday, when unless the gov- ernment is ready or makes a better show- ing the charge will be dismissed. —_>__ Calvary Baptist Rally Day. Calvary Paptist Surday school will have its “rally dey” exercises Sunday morning next, and they will te of an interesting character. Invitations have been issued to every member of the school to be pres- ent. With all the room of the splendid new Sunday school house it is found neces- sary to reocceupy the lower room of the church, which has been beautifully re- fitted and furnished, and one of the large departments will go into it after the general exercises of the morning. All the rooms wili be handsomely decorated aad the hour will be given up to exercises which will enlist the interest of the whcle school in the new year’s work. In addition to the part taken by the school a fine male quar- tet will sing two numbers. This is a quar- tet recently organized for permanent work, consisting of Pearman, first tenor; Penny, second tenor; Thomas, first bass, and Fu- gitt, second bass. The pastor, Dr. Greene, will deliver a short address. The work of the day will be supplemented by an in- formal gathering of the officers, teachers and members of the Bible club of the school to be held next Wednesday evening in the Sunday school parlors. It will be in the nature of a reunion for the purpose of renewing acquaintances, which is always helpful in the work. A “tea” will be served and there will be a few “vacation sketches” by some who spent che summer out of the city. _— Discharged Soldiers and Sailors. A meeting of discharged soldiers and sailors was held at 623 F street last even- ing. H. E. Burton was elected permanent president; H. M. Husband, vice president; Dr. Wm. Armstrong, secretary and treas- urer. After some talk over different mat- ters the following name was adopted: Sol- diers’, Sailors’ and Sons of Veterans’ Pro- tective Association. A committee of five was appointed to draft a constitution and y-laws to govern the body and to secure permanent headquarters. The committee ts as follows: Dr. Wm. Armstrong, Gen. M. M. Bane, G. M. Fillmore, Col. 'B. Fitch, ajor F. A. Halstead. Resolutions were adopted asking the Sons of Veterans to join the organization, and deciding to “use all honorable means ‘with- in our power tq denounce the present ad- ministration for ‘their utter disregard of the legal rights of the soldiers and sailors of the late war and for discriminating against those who held positions under the govern- ment by a system of wholesale dismissals and reductions, and that we pledge our- selves to oppose all subsequent admin- istrations who may disregard the rights of ex-Union soldiers and sailors, their widows and orphans under the laws of 1870 and 1872." ees King’s Palace Opening. One of the annval events of 7th street, which never fails to attract a large crowd of ladies, is the opening of millinery and wraps at King’s Palace every fall. Simul- taneous with his regular fall opening Mr. King also opens a new branch store at 715 Market space. The openings at both stores commenced yesterday morning and wiil continue until tomorrow night. The two spacious stores have been profusely and tastefully decorated with palms, flowers, bunting and ribbon. The large show win- dows are dressed ‘with palms and glass and are lighted at right by nu- incandescent electric lights. t great credit upon Mr. King’s ser. As a souvenir of the oc- casion Mr. King is presenting every patron who visits the stores during the opening days with a handsome Japanese china tea- pot. Se Ee Singing for the Old Folks.

The first smoke of the Washington Out- ing Club was held last night in the gym- nasium at Rosemont near the Soldiers’ Home and was a success. The club house was ed with about 300 of the most genial fellows in town. Too much praise cannot be given President Mundheim and the various committees for the efforts they 80 successfully made to please. George O'Connor, accompanied by M. McEnaney, caught the boys at once by his happy selections and fine singing and was repeatedly encored. Mr. Bennett was excellent in dialect talks and John Armstrong in a whistling solo. Guy V. Collins gave recitations and imita- tions. Victor Leonzo Poersche delighted the audience with his renditions. A. Stern in imitations was applauded and Al. Good- man met with merited appreciation. Others who contributed to the evening’s enter- tainment were L. Brookheimer, Mr. Dorsey, Mr. Knowles, C. F, Harmon, Mr. Pridham, Mr. Miller, Mr. Wallack, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Wright, the Southern Quartet (colored) and H. Rothchild. The quartet made a hit. Wm. Lee, the club steward, was leader. ‘Those in charge of the entertainment and to whom is largely due its success were: Max Oppenheimer, F. Richold, H. Roth- child and S. Mundheim. The Washington Outing Club was organ- ized four months ago, the charter members numbering forty. Today it has a member- ship of eighty, of whom the majority are Hebrews of social standing. It is the tn- tention of the club to hold at least one smoker a month during the winter and to make each succeeding one better than the last. Through the ccurtesy of Assistant Superintendent Todd of the Eckington rail- road special cars were run for the accom- modation of the club's guests. The officers of the Washington Outing Club are: Samuel Mundheim, president; C. M. Parks, vice president; A. J. Heilbrun, secretary; Geo. Strauss, financial secretary, and C. H. Reizenstein, treasurer. The board of directors is as follows: C. E. Wigginton, J. A. Goldstein, B. Nordlinger, jr, M. D. Rosenberg, H. Rothchild, M. Clark, Louis Hirsh, C. L. Heilbrun, M. Op- penheimer, C. Ludwig and Alex. Wolf. The club house contains fourteen large rooms and the grounds are ample for ath- letic purposes, — MORE SCHOOLS WANTED. A Hearing Given to Representatives of the Northeast Citizens. The Commissioners gave a hearing this morning to representatives of the Northeast Washington Association with reference to the needs of better school facilities in that section of the city. A series of resolutions, adopted at a recent meeting of the associa- tion, were presented by Mr. Evan H.Tucker, asking for one or more new school buildings in that neighborhood. According to state- ments made at the hearing this section of the city is completely cut off from all the present school houses by the tracks of the B. and O. railroad, and children going to the Blair or other schools are compelled to cross these tracks at least four times a day, with great danger to life and limb. A number of the crossings are entirely unprotected, and the danger from moving trains is greatly enhanced in rainy weather, when the chil- dren are compelled to carry umbrellas for protection and are very likely not to see the approaching engines, At present there is no school north of I street and east of 1st street, and it was stated that many peo- ple have moved away from this part of town owing to the fact that the children have no proper opportunities to attend school. Commissioner Ross seemed to be very much impressed by the statement of the needs of the northeast section, and gave the representatives of the association to under- stand that the matter would receive due consideration at the hands of the Commis- joners and that an effort would be made to assist them if possible. MR. JOHN T. GIVEN ILL. His Physi Considers His Co tion Quite Critical, Mr. John T. Given, one of the best-known of the older citizens of the District, is ly- ing serfously ill at his residence, 924 I street northwest, suffering with kidney trouble.

He came here about a week ago, registered at the National Hotel as W. H. Barstow, pail him bill yesterday and had his trunk sent ‘to the depot. Today he would have been invyNew York had not De- tectives Rhodes and& Weeden tapped him on the shoulder and said, “‘We want you.” “Want me?” inquired: the completely sur- prised young man. “For what?” “We are officers,” he was told, “and have @ warrant for your arrest.” During his short stay the young man had visited Jackson City and played the races and had a good time generally. He went to the tailor shop of 8. Robin & Bro., on H street ncar the government printing office, and ordered $59 worth of clothing. “My father is a United States’ Senator,” the young man told the clothier, “and my uncle is a judge of the Supreme Court.” He also told the tailor that he was living at the National Hotel, Mr. Robin was fully convinced that the young man was not a fraud, and so com- pletely did he become a victim of the con- fidence worker that he went with him to the Jewelry store of Mr. Cole, in the same neighborhood, and vouched for his honesty. The young man purchased a gold watch and chain, worth $105, and the tailor was so certain that his checks were good that picions were aroused, National Hotel, only to learn that his good customer had taken his departure. Then he got the detectives, who overhauled the young man just in time to prevent his leav- ing the city. It was soon ascertained that he had pawned the watch for $35, and with part of this money he had paid his hotel bill. He had no money in bank and his checks were thereforé worthless. This morning, when the-case reached the Police Court, the young man was apparently very much surprised that he was to be pros- ecuted when his effects would almost cover the loss. He was unable to ex! to Judge Miller what he really Rocboanont the fraudulent transactions, and the court held him in $2,000 security for the action of the grand jury. He was committed in default of bail. THE DISTRICT LPREME COURT. All the Branches Will Be in Session Next Tuesday. Tuesday next, for the first time since the summer recess, all the branches of the Dis- trict Supreme Court will be in session. There will be six branches in all, two each of the equity, circuit and criminal divisions of the court. Judge Cox will continue to preside over Equity Court, No. 1; while Judge Hagner will hold Equity Court, No. 2. Judge Bradley will continue in Circuit Court, No. 1, and Chief Justice Bingham will preside over Circuit Court, No. 2. There is, however, a possibility that the chief justice and Judge Cox may trade their as- signments some time later. While it is not yet definitely settled, it is more than prob- able that Judge McComas will preside over Criminal Court, No.«1, and Judge Cole over No, 2. ‘The calendar of the eircuit branch of the court, it is understood, «will hardly comprise as many cases as itfdid at the beginning of the present year, although it will be little smaller. It will camtain about 930 cases, not including the sppeal cases coming up from the justices of the peace, which will number about forty. ‘These appeal cases will be heard by Judge Bradley, in Circuit Court, No. 1, and will be given precedence over all other cases until they are disposed of. It is the intention of Judge Bradley to take up Tuesday next the first ten of these appeal cases. The ealendar of the circuit branch of the court ‘will be divided between the two circuit courts, the odd numbered cases going to No. 1, and the even numbered ones to No. 2. During October, at least, it is understood that @nly criminal cases will be tried in the criminal branches of the court, although.One of them may subse- quently lighten, the «circuit calendar by hearing civil cases, as was done last spring. a Marriage Licenses. Licenses to marry have been issued to the following: James B. Lewis and Caroline Walker, both of Culpepper, Va.; James M. Treakle and Bertha Germann, both of Alex- andria, Va.; Chas. S.

A RESTRAINING ORDER GRANTED. Mrs. Babe’s Suit Against a Trust Com- pany Others. A bill in equity to remove cloud from complainant's title to part of sub lot 29, square 41, has been filed by Mary A. Babe, widow and legatee of the late Jos. W. Babe, against Wm. 8. Thompson, the American Security and Trust Company, Wm. B. Ed- morston and Aldis B. Browne, trustees, and Benj. W. Holman. ‘The suit recalls the departure from Wash- ington last December of Jos, R. Hertford, a real estate dealer of this city. Mrs. Babe states that her husband purchased from Benj. W. Holman in August, 1892, the property mentioned in her bill of complaint, the deed of conveyance being dated August 27, 1892. Mr. Babe died the 15th of last February, and, as sole beneficlary under his will, Mrs. Babe became possessed of the property in question. About the latter part of the following month, Mrs. Babe states, she was surprised to learn that defendants Edmonston and Browne were about to sell the property as trustees, under an alleged deed of trust executed by Holman August 22, 1892, to secure the American Security and Trust Company the sum of $3,000. Through an investigation of the records by her counsel Mrs. Babe learned that the al- leged deed of trust was recorded September 2, 1892, and that the deed from Holman to her husband was dated September 5, 1892, and recorded the next day. She was also in- formed that while the records showed that her husband was August 28, 1892, the legal owner of the property, they also showed that next day her husband, being joined by her, conveyed to Holman the same property ae sum Of $2,400, never returned, while the September 5, a Cox granted a temporary restrain- ing order, returnable Tuesday next. ——.__ In the P Street Market.
