MASS MEETING INDIEN GRILLON. _api5-miSm-3p CITIZENS’ Anacostia’s Association Indorsed on the Liquor Question. esclution Against Saloons Passed at the Meeting Yesterday—Speeches and the Speakers. ‘The largest mass meeting ever held in Aracostia in the cause of temperance took place yesterday afternoon in the Baptist Church. The building was packed with the best citizens, and many others were unable to gain admittance to the building. The meeting was called to order by Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, pastor of the Baptist Church, after which Rev. W. G. Daven- port of Emmanuel P. E. Church read a selection from Scripture. Prayer was of- fered by Rev. J. B. North of the Presby- terian Church, and then Mr. Stevenson introduced Professor B. E. Messer. Pro- fessor Messer emphasized the idea that saloons depreciated real estate values, while churches improve it. Dr. E. H. Grant spcke of his visit to calamity row in the jail recently, on which occasion he saw one hundred persons behind the bars, each one of whom came frem this side of the river and ascribed his downfall to liquor. Carleton Emerson Snell, representing the Young People’s Society of Christian deavor of Garden Memorial Pre: Church, spoke of the duty of citizenship in assisting to get rid of the liquor trattic. Mr. Benoni Milstead said the Christian sPould oppose the saloons because of his faith, a business man because it ruined business by increasing bad debts and every- bedy because it had grown to be a monop- oly in Anacostia. Mr. Barnabas Bryan then teok the platform and after speaking of the value of local option he referred to the difficulty of enforcing the law on ac- count of the present jury system. . A. Griswold of the Anacostia railway was the next speaker. He referred to the gratification of seeing Anacostia build up, but he said in all nis tweaty-tive years’ e: perience nothing caused him greater joy than the action of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association of Friday night. (Applause.) He felt that there was nothing which could Increase more the vaiue of property, and which was a greater public’ benefit than the closing of the saloons in Anacostia. J. R. Williams, another business man, spoke of his experience in Baltimore regarding the saloon, and, in closing, said he recog- nized some of the friends of the saloon element present at this meeting, but thought they were there to turn over a new leaf and side with . he opponents of the liquor traffic. He wanced to see the law enforced against retail, wholesale, speak- easies and gambling. Messrs. George H. Thomas and J. T. Simpson spoke against the salcon. Rev. W. G. Davenport said it had been his intention to let the laymen do the talking, but he desired to emphasize what had been brought out by other speak- ers regarding the depreciation of value of property where the saloon was, whereas their closing would mean a corresponding increase. Concluding the next speech, of Rev. J. B. North, which was strongly an- tagonistic to the liquor element in any phase, a resolution similar to the one at the Citizens’ Association was offered. Mr. Alpheus Hoopes moved that the resolution be made to- protest against wholesale as well as retail dealers. David Shanks seec- onded the motion, which was unanimously carried. The resolution was as follows: “We, the citizens of Anacostia, assembled at mass meeting in the Anacostia Baptist Church, being desirous of promoting the prosperity and improvement of Anacostia in every manner, and, whereas we believe bar rooms and wholesale liquor stores are not neces- sary and are objectionable to us, there- fore, be it resolved, that the excise board be notified that we protest against the granting of any bar room or wholesale liquor license in Anacostia now pending be- fore them, and request that they refuse grant same or any hereafter in Anacostia.” ————— A Shaking Up. An accident happened on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near the New York avenue crossing yester- day morning which resulted in a loss of about $3,000 to the company. An incoming express train struck the rear end of a coal train and upset two cars. The engine was badly damaged. Both engineers and fire- men remained at their posts, and, while the passengers on the express were given a shaking up, none of them were injured. It is said that the accident was the result of the slowness of the flagman sent to flag the express. The coal train had just left a siding to come into the freight yard on the main track. “The Electropoise.” Writes Miss Edith H.

GOVERNMENT AND LABOR UNIONS A Cabinet Officer States the Po- sition of the Administration. THE RECENT STRIKE Mr. C. S. Darrow, attorney for Eugene V. Debs, George W. Howard, Sylvestér Killther, Louis W. Rogers, James Hagan, W. E. Burns, R. W. Goodwin and M. J. Elliott, all of whom are now confined in the McHenry county (Ill.) jail, under com- mitment by United States Judge Woods of the seventh circuit, appeared before the Urited States Supreme Court today in their behalf. He presented an application for a writ of error and supersedeas, and also filed 2 motion for a writ of habeas corpus. The object was, he said, to have the pris- crers admitted to bail. He said he had supposed that all the questions invclved could be presented at the same time. ‘The chief justice stated that the import- ant question was whether the writ of er- rer should be allowed, and that on this ac- count it should be first presented to the court. Assistant Attorney General Whitney ap- peared for the United States, and it was arranged that the petition for writ of er- ror should be argued on Wednesday of this week. Mr. Darrow said he was prepared to go ahead with the argument at any time. What the Petitioners Allege. The petition for writ of error is as fol- lows: First.—That the Injunction, for violation of which the petitioners were sentenced was ordered in a case of which the court had no jurisdiction, Second—That the court erred in deciding that the bill on which the injunction was granted might be maintained in the name of the United States under the anti-trust law, and particuiarly under section 4 ot that act; that so far as it purports to grant jurisdiction to the circuit courts of the Uni- ted States to restrain or enjoin vioiations of its provisions it is repugnant to the Con- stitution of the United States, in that it might thus be invoked to permit prosecu- tion for infamous crimes without indict- ment and criminal prosecution without trial by jury. 3. That this being in effect a proceeding to punish a criminal contempt not committed in the presence of the court, the court erred in not discharging the defendants up- on their answers. 4. That the court erred in not quashing the information. 5, That the court erred in trying them on information instead of indictment. 6. That the court erred in trying them without a jury. 7. That the court erred in holding that the bill of the United States made or stated any case cognizable in a court of equity or of which the court could take jurisdiction and cognizance, or order such an injunction or make any other order therein agamst the defendants. Views of a Cabinet Officer. A cabinet officer, who does net care to have his name made public, in reviewing the strike situation and the case of M Lebs, sai ‘There are some things that it seems te me the American pubic ought to understand. When the social struc- ture of the government was assaiied there was only cne course to pursue. ‘There was only ene question before the Preside: Society was to be defended, and the na- tional authority maintained. Whatever grievances labor may have had, and however well-founded they may have been, they could not be redresseg by the torch. ‘The complaints of labor could not be answered by violence. There was then but one course in this country for ail pairtots and friends of the republic to pur- should be re- sue. ‘hat was that order stored, that no person and no organization should be permitted to assail property tg or to violate personal liberty. The administration set at work to pre- vent this. It was successful. In accom- plishing this, resort was had to the pro- ons of two laws—the interstate com- merce law and the anti-trust law. These laws were not originally framed for any such purpose. their terms, h government in the course which it pursued. These laws were originally acted place restrictions upon corp nd not to be used against labor, organized or unorganized. There can be no question that from the date of the enactment of the interstato commerce law the railroads have endeav- ored to evade ft in many particulars. “In some instances they have detied its provisions, and in scme notable ‘tnstances they have been successful. Their appeal, which was made in the unselman case, was sustained by the United States Su- preme Court. But the appeal itself, in the popular mind at least, was an acknowledg- ment that the railroads could not show their books without incriminating them- selves. The impression which was created upon the popular mind was not a favorable on “The same is true, to a somewhat less de- gree, perhaps, because the attempts to en- force it have not been so general, of the anti-trust law. The corporations against which these two laws were originaliy di- rected have not materially suffered. But organized labor, toward which it had never been supposed the provisions of these acts could be directed, was made to feel their force in a terrible way in the few weeks of the great Chicago strike.” Arbitrary Mr. Pallman. “Organized labor should, however, ap- preciate that the heavy hand of the United States was not raised to crush labor be- cause It is organized, or to aid capital be- cause it is capital. The hand of the govern- ment was lifted to strike down those who resorted to the torch, who obstructed the United States mails, who paralyzed inter- state commerce; and the hand of the Unit- ed States government will always be lifted for that purpose. It is the hope of the ad- ministration that, out of the experience of this great strike, there will come a better understanding between labor and capital in this country, and possibly better law. “I do not, for my part, think that when the subject is carefully considered the American people will commend, or in any way approve, the course which Mr. Pull- man and his company chose to adopt tn that crisiz. I do not think that the thought- ful people of the republic wili approve of his arbitrary, and, I mzy say, arrogant course. “I do not think that Mr. Pullman acted as all patriotic and considerate citizeps should act in such a crisis. The country was more dangerously near the terrors of war than is generally understood. The situation was one which appealed to every lover of his country, and to every one who was only commercially interested in its prosperity. It would have been a very simple thing for Mr. Pullman to have said in that emergency: Might Have Been Averted. “I think that the position which the Pullman company has assumed is cor- rect; that there is nothing in the rclations between the Pullman company and its em- ployes which is properly a subject for ar- bitration; I assume that the business of the Pullman company is a private matter, which does not conzern the general public: but in view of the existing agitation and of the fact that all the millions of this country and its great commercial interests are involved, I waive what I consider to be the rights of the Pullman company and- the absence of rights of those who oppose {t, and in the interest of ali the people and of their business and of the welfare of the country, I invite the most searching investigationginto the books and business methods of @ Pullman company.’ “That, gf seems to me, would have been the patrivtic duty of Mr. Pullman in such a great national crisis. He would have sacrificed nothing but his pride, and the theory of his directors as to how the bus- iness of the company should be conducted. And I do not doubt, and I question if any member of the government doubts, that if Mr. Pullman had made such a statement at the proper time the dreadful events of the great strike might have been averted, and the many millions of dollars lost because fully of the strike, and the exeioe of life have been averted. “It seems to me,-and> 2 think that that will be the judgment of history, that Mr. Pullman would have rendered a more patriotic service to his country than he is ever likely to be call won to perform, if he had sacrificed hi ride of opinion and pride of business methods, and mod- érated his arrogance for the sake of the peace, prosperity and happiness of the re- public. And I think that/Mr. Pullman, in ‘his personal and busirfss relations, has discovered that he and his company made a terrible mistake.” Authority of the Seti “But what I think thi lhe people ought to understand and not forget is that the government of the United States did not put its powerful machinery in motion in the interests of capital, or of the Pullman Company, or of the railroads. The govern- ment of the United States did what it did because its authority was assailed; its mails were obstructed; its. commerce par- alyzed; and either labor, or vandals, tak- ing advantage of the chaos which was created, sought to redress its supposed grievances by the torch.” “But it is not to be forgotten that labor has the same right to organize that capi- tal has, It will not do in this country to cause the great mass of woriingmen’ to believe that they are to be denied the rights and privileges which are accofded to organized capital, and that this strike resulted in the victory of the railroads ard the destruction of organized labor. “There is no government strong enough to defy, or to prevent the organization of labor for proper purposés, and the railroad managers of this country ought to sce to it that they do not inflame the passions which have been restrained, but not destroyed.” THE MOTION REFUSED Stockholders Cannot Continue the Fidelity Oompany Longer, Judge Cox Refuses a Request and Re- ecivers Will Continue Their Work —The Court’s Reasons. Judge Cox this afternoon refused to grant the petition of certain stockholders of the Fidelity Building, Loan and Invest- ment Association for the discharge of Re- celvers Williamson and Poole, and perinis- sion to continue the business of the asso- ciation under a new directory, under the direction of the court. ‘The effect of the decisicn is to direct the receivers to proceed in their settlement of the affairs of the association and the clos- ing up of its business. The decision of the court was a very brief one, Judge Cox explaining that he had been in a maze In getting at the true inwardness of the assoctation, having had to depend upon its undated constitutions, certificates and the reportef the receivers. The questions for the court to decide were whether it had the power to discharge the receivers, and, if it had, whether it would be right to do so. Discussing the scheme of the association, Judge Cox said that th@ monthly plan seemed to be much like the ordinary build- ing association, but that the weekly plan was much different. al The latter plan was explained to be for persons of limited means, who, said Judge Cox, appeared to be not well informed. It eppeared that these stockholders agreed to allow the general manager to represent them at the meetings of ‘the association, and were thereby robbed of a direct Le ticipation in its affairs. “ These stockholders were. scattered over several states, and the home office being here, the result was that the management Of the association was left'in the hands of its officials. 5 Payments on stock, said Judge Cox, were payable at the home ,oflice or to agents, and that, it seemed to. him, was {mprac- ticable. Then, too, s@id) Iudge Cox, the constitution, in the matter ot forfeitures, had been departed from, the constitution requiring a delinquency of six months be- fore forfeiture of _stozk could operate, while the managers had 2 period cf but six weeks. Ninety Per Cent Lapsed. It had been stated, said Judge Cox, that 90 per cent of the weekly stockholders be- came delinquent, and when all the fact: were censidered, it did not seem strange that such should be the case. The scheme of the association produced such delin- quency, said the court, and it was to the interest of the managers of the affair that such delinquency should follow. For instance, said Judge Cox, it was to the interest of the managers to have their coliectcrs fail to make collections. The business of the association was, therefore, not one which the court should allow to continue. we ferring further to the scheme of tho sociation, Judge Cox said that the asso- eatin promised to quadruple amounts paid in by stockholders in eight years. That scheme, he remarked, seemed pre- posterous on its face. No allowance was made for certain unforeseen contingencies likely to always happen, and the success of the scheme was to him irconceivable. The association was now insolvent, remarked Judge Cox, and that fact, he thought, demonstrated that the scheme of the man- agers of the association was either falla- cicus, or the association has been mis- managed. In either event, said Judge Cox, it would be unjust to the stockholders to allow a continuance of the business of the assvciation. Motion Denied. Another reason, said Judge Cox, why the association should not be permitted to continue business was the fact that there had been a breach of contrect in the mat- ter of the expenditure for expenses. The constitution allowed but 50 per cent for such a purpose, but, remarked the court, the report of the receivers showed thit $3 per cent of the amount collected had been expended for expenses. ‘That was a plain breach of contract, said Judge Cox, and a thing not to be allowed to continue. The request for the discharge of the receivers would, therefore, be de- nied, and the receivers would be directed to continue, as directed by the court. Mr. F. L. Siddons called attention to the fact the receivers had reported the mana- gers of the associat’on as having ex- |. ceeded the expense fund, and he asked that the court direct them to hold the managers and directors of the association liable for such excess and institute sults against them for its recovery. Judge, Cox gave Mr. Siddons leave to so move, and continued the case. ——— Funeral of Mrs. Norris. The funeral of Mrs. Arnie Virginia Rob- inson Norris, the wife of Mr. James L. Norris, who died so suddenly on Saturday afternoon, took place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence, 331 C street northwest. The parlors and_hall- ways were literally packed, so very large was the concourse of relatives and friends of the deceased in attendance. The floral remembrances were many and beautiful. The services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland, assisted by sev. Adolos Allen, both of the First Presby- terian Churen.* a ls discourse over the remains, Rev. Sunderland spoke feelingly of the beau- tifal character possessed by Mrs. Norris, whom, he said, had been a faithful and true member of his church during her er- tire resid2nce in Washington, which was for more than a quarter of’a century. Re- fore and after Dr. Sunderland’s remarks appropriate musical selections were render- ed by a male quartet from the First Pres- byterian Church. ‘At the conclusion of the services at the residenc2, the remains were taken to Oak Hill cemetery, accompanied by many sor- rowing relatives and friends. The exer- cises at the cemetery consisted merely of the short burial service. The pallbearers were Messrs. Charles G. McRoberts, Er- skine M. Sunderland, Arthur P. Gorman, jr., George W. Rae, Edward Q. Knight, John H. Martin, Frederick A. Fenning and Max C. G. Wiehle. -——>_—_ Funeral of Mr. J. B. Lambert. The funeral of the late Mr. John B. Lam- bert, who died last Thursday at his home, 21 C street, after a long illness, took place on Saturday, Rev. Dr. Williams of Christ Church officiating. The pallbearers were selected from Mount Vernon Lodge, No. 5, K. of P., of which the deceased was an active member. FINANCE AND TRADE Liberal Sales of Chicago Gas Force Prices Down. A DECLINE ALSO IN SUGAR TRUST Coalers Conspicuous Features in the Regular List. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Star. NEW YORK, January 14.—Activity dur- ing the firsts hour of speculation centered largely in Chicago Gas, liberal sales of which forced the price down 21-4 per cent from a weak opening. The closing of the books for the dividend, while used as an excuse for the depression, was a subordi- nate influence only, internal complications in the matter of today’s elections being di- rectly responsible for the action of the stock. As later developments proved, the question of voting certain proxies in the interest of the new management called forth such violent opposition from the friends of the old board, who quoted the opinion of Attorney General Malowney in support of their position, that final action was postponed. ‘The absence of a quorum resulted in the adjournment of several of the meetings of the, individual ecmpanies composing the trust. Early knowledge of the probabil- ities of such an outcome of the day’s pro- ceedings caused selling for the accounts of both factions, with the result above men- tioned. Authorities on the situation are confident that the new interest will finally triumph, and that last week's best ‘prices will be eclipsed before the month is out. About the uncon hour some covering of early sales was instrumental in restoring 1 per cent cf the morning’s loss. The scar- city of this stock in the loan crowd indi- cates the presence of a large-sized short in- terest yet to be liquidated. Sugar sold down 1 1-4 per cent on selling by the trading element based on the con- tinued withholding of the Supreme Court decision in the anti-trust case. Buying orders later In the day marked up the price 1-2 per cent above initial figures. General Electric gained some strength from the absence of an expected decision in an Important action affecting the lives of some of the company's best patents. In the regular list the coalers were again conspicuous features, Delaware and Hud- son selling up 1 per cent, Lackawanna 2 per cent and Jersey Central 1-2 per cent cn a fair volume of business. The im- proved tone in this group was credited to pending negotiations in the interest of unity and the establishment of a working basis for the present year. The grangers were all improved from 1-2 to 8-4 per cent cn a volume of business of fair propor- tions, which orignated from the necess!- ties of the short interest. Action on the pooling bill is awaited with considerable interest by the street, as the next spurt of activity in the railway list is likely to be based on the fate of this measure. At present opinions are somewhat conflicting as to the probable result of the vote in the Senate. The exchange market ruled firm, with rates somewhat higher than those quoted last week. The supply of bills continues small, the absence of drawings against gold shipments being a conspicuous fea- ture of this market. No gold was taken for export tomorrow, but surface conditions point to a probable outflow during the week of upward of $2,000,000. Bankers do not consider shipments to London likely for the present, although rumors of such a possibility have ‘eep in circulation for several days past. The trading of the last hour was dull, around the best prices of the day. There were no new developments, the absence of ny pressure to sell and the room being disinclined to further increase the short interest gave the market an encouraging tone of strength. —_—___ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK, January 14.—The situation in the local cotton market is one of con- siderable interest. Merchants in Europe and the south have scld in this market against their holdings of cotton in other markets a quantity of cotton estimated to aggregate 700,000 bales. The contracts for the delivery of this cotton are held by the long interest at a time when the stock of cotton here amounts to 120,000 bales, and the southern price for cdtton is above a parity with that paid in New York. Be- levers in higher prices rely upon a ma- terial reduction in acreage and a decrease in the use of fertilizers to offset the sur- plus supply. ‘The disposition of European spinners to hoard their surplus stock and draw upon the general market for their daily con- sumption is also pointed out as a bull ar- gument. The bears on the other hand,while admitting the above facts, believe that the great problem of disposing of the over- production can only be solved by a reduc- tion in prices. Neither side are inclined to act on the opinions advanced, and a narrow market, with restricted fluctuations, is apparently all that there is to look forward to. Grain and Cotton. Markets.

The Rock Creek Park commissioners have received a setback. They asked the Attorney General for a legal opinion as to their authority in the matter of the pro- posed assessments of benefits. The Attor- ney General has replied briefly that he has no authority to give opinions except at the request of the President or the head of one of the executive departments. The com- mission will, therefore, have to resort to that means of communication if they de- sire to get the benefit of the legal advice of the Attorney General. They will probably ask the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary of War to prefer the request for an opinion. —_—__+ 2+ NO NEW CASES. Another Lull in the Smallpox Situa- tion. Saturday afternoon, yesterday and today the health officials have investigated a number of smallpox suspects without find- ing even a case of varioloid. There has been such a decrease in the number of cases that Dr. O'Malley has been taken out of the smallpox service and put back at his work in the diphtheria and scarlet fever service. Several of those who have recov- ered, as well as some of those who have been in quarantine, have visited the health officer lately to get pay for articles of clothing destroyed. The disease left some of the victims almost poverty stricken, and besides the small amounts they receive from the health office fund they are being assisted by the pdlice. ‘The quarantine has been lifted from the Whitaker shanty in South Washington, and Mabel Whitaker and her male com- panion, who have been kept in the house so long, are now at liberty to go where they please. Persons in the quarantined houses who are unable to provide for them- selves are being provided with the neces- saries of life by the health department. ‘The patients in the hospital are all do- ing well. The two women, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Thomas, who were critically ill for several days, seem to be improving much faster ‘tharf those who were not near s0 sick. ——.___ Held fcr the Grand Jury.
