Judge Kimball Passes Sentence on the Usual Offenders—Vagrants Who Promised to Leave. When Judge Kimball’s court convened this morning there was a long line of pris- oners in the dock, more than 50 per cent of them being white. There was one colored boy in the line whose size suggested that the police had been out with a net. At any rate, this member of the police infant class was present, and he gave his name as Luther Brown. “What is this little fellow charged with?” the court asked. “Profanity,” answered the officer. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” the boy was asked, “Not guilty,” he answered. “Yesterday in Glick’s alley,” said the officer, “this boy was cursing and swear- ing.”” “Do you mean to say that this young boy was swearing?” the court asked. “Yes, sir,” answered the officer. “There were several of them in the crowd, but this is the only one I could catch.” When the officer had finished his testi- mony the boy was given an opportunity to make a statement. alle were you doing?” the judge asked im. “Shootin’ crap,” was his honest reply, “and there was eight of us.’”” Five dollars. Edward Baker, about twenty-one years old, and neatly dressed, appeared on a charge of vagrancy, and he said he was not guilty. “He was near 15th and F streets last evening begging,” said Policeman Holsey. “But I didn’t know I was doing any harm,” the prisoner added. “Don’t you know it’s wrong to beg?” the judge asked hi “Well, judge, he answered, “I was going over to Alexandria to my uncle’s, and I did ask several people to assist me.” “How long have you been here?” “About eight days.” “And how have you managed to live?” “I had money, and then I did some work.”” The judge wanted to know why he did not go to Alexandria before he begged, and he said he was hungry and wanted some- thing to eat before he started, He said he would leave for Alexandria, and the judge let him off on his personal bonds. “It's horrible, horrible, it’s perfectly ri- diculous,” said Rebecca Smith, who was charged with vagrancy. She was released yesterday morning and in the afternoon she was so drunk that she fell on the street several times. Rebecca told the judge that she had worked so hard at the workhouse that she needed a little recreation. “I went to a house to get my clothes,” she said, “and being afraid to go out on the street I sent out for a 5-cent can of beer and drank it.” “And got drunk,” added the court. “No, I didn’t,” said Rebecca, ‘and I was perfectly insensible all the time.” Mr. Pugh said he thought such people should be given six months twice a year, for the leniency of the court had certainly: not done her any good. “She will have to go down for sixty days,” said the judge. Davis Callahan, Henry Kline and Joseph Jordan, two white and one colored, were arraigned on a charge of vagrancy, but they did not plead guilty. They called at the police station night and asked for a place to sleep. “And,” said the officer, “they failed to give good accourts of themselves. The prisoners did not want a home here for several weeks, but were extremely anx- ious to get out. “We'll all leave here at once,” said one of the prisoners, “if you will let us go.” “I'm a bricklayer,” said one of the pris- oners, “on my way heme from Dailas, Tex- last They were released. When the name Robert Dorsey was call- ed, a tall man, whose clothing had a cov- ering of whitewash over them, managed to stagger to the prison rail. “is this man drunk?” asked. “Who?” muttered the drunken man. He was sent back for trial on Saturday. A band of music passed along Pennsyl- vania avenue yesterday, and there was the usual crowd of colored men and women ob- structing the street and sidewalk. Colored boys from two sections met near Washing- ton Circle, and there was a stone battle. One of the boys was struck on the head and injured, and Policeman Parham ar- rested John Beckett, Solomon McCoy, Eu- gene Brown, George Rollins and Frank King. They were fined $5 each. “These boys were engaged in a game of crap on a door step Sunday afternoon,” said Policeman Hartley. He was talking about John Brown and Ernest Shorter. The boys denied the charge, but the court held them guilty and imposed a fine. Sam Johnson, colored, was tried on a charge of suspicion because he was found endeavoring to dispose of a bed spread. He claimed he had bought the spread, and witnesses gave evidence concerning his good character. Dismissed. Bernard Rose, colored, twenty-one years old, who thinks his uncle has to support him, was charged with vagrancy, and the judge released him, telling him he had bet- ter go to work and support himself. Six white men, arrested in South Wash- ington for hanging about a saloon where cheap liquor is sold, were given a hearing on a charge of vagrancy. Some of them were sent down and others were released. A New “Y¥” Organized. After the prayer services at the Christian, Church, corner 9th and D streets northeast, Rev. E. B. Bagby, pastor, an enthusiastic Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union was organized, with a charter mem- bership of nineteen active and four honor- ary—the latter being gentlemen, who are granted all the privileges of the society ex- cept voting. After speaking favorably of the work of the union, Mr. Bagby intro- duced Mrs. La Fetra, the superintendent of the “Y” branch of the W. C. T.

Mrs. Bagby was very influential in securing names and maturing plans for the work. ———— Woodburn Association.

A meeting of the Departmental Base Ball League .was held last evening, when an application for membership was received from the Washington Light Infantry Ath- letic Club, but no action was taken. A report was received from the commit- tee in charge of the entertainment to be given for the benefit of the league, show- ing that tickets are now on sale, and that an attractive program had been arranged.

A Spirited Discussion of the Rela- tions of the Two Forces. In a lecture before the School of Ethics last evening, Mr. John Graham Breoks of Boston declared that the Protestant Church is being drawn into direct contact and struggle with socialism. ‘The subject of the lecture was the relation of the church to the labor problem. As representative of the present conditions of one side of the controversy he selected the Lutheran Church of Germany and the High Church of England. In Germany, he said, the Lutheran Church is combating socialism, which has become practically a new religion, in which the gospel of Ibsen is taught. The church is brought into direct contact with socialism and was being drawn into it to work for a higher purpose than socialism itself. It was scattering abroad a literature prepar- ed by learned men who are endeavoring to counteract the movement. In England, he said, the church hag gone into the socialistic movement so far as its adoption of the co-operative system, the trade-union movement, and :municipal so- cialism are concerned. Mr. Brooks declar- ed the higher intellectual class of socialists were abandoning materialism as unable to account forthe higher phenomena. Mr. Robert Parkman of the Knights of Labor said the question why Weshington workingmen did not go to church was dis- cussed at the last meeting of the Brother- hood ef St. Andrew here, and it was con- cluded to ask the laboring men. Mr. Park- man said that the question would be an- swered. The speaker said that the min- isters of London asked the socialist leader why the socialists did not attend church. The reply was that the ministers sided with the rich against the poor. ———— Kit Carson Post Anniversary.
