Auditor Refuses to Pass Witness Claims Without Certificate. The auditor of the District has been sub- Jected to criticism for refusing to audit a clainr for payment of witness fees in the Police Court of the District because the claimant failed to present with his voucher the original certificate of the clerk of the Police Court that the service on which the claim was based was rendered. The claim- ant presented a duplicate, but In the ab- sence of knowledge of any law authorizing the issuance of a duplicate or of any rec- ord or tradition In the office showing that payments on duplicates had been made, the auditor declined to audit the account on the ground that such action would be con- trary to the usage of the Treasury Depart- ment and without warrant of taw. It is claimed, as the certificates in question, with the bare indorsement of the parties in whose favor they are drawn, pass from hand to hand, and are paid upon presenta- tion, without’ identification, the presenta- tion’ of the original is mainly relléd upon for the protection of the government. The auditor states that although he re- gards the record at his office as a safe- guard against double payments, the ac- counting officers of the treasury in the ad- justment of the District accounts would be compelled either without question to ac- cept the Commissioners’ statement that the original certificates (in cases where a duplicate certificate had been presented) had_never been paid, or make such a de- tailed and exhaustive examination as would far outweigh the importance of the amount involved. On account of the difficulty of such an investigation, and also for the reason that there is no law specifically authorizing the issue of a duplicate, the Treasury Depart- ment has always objected to receiving such a voucher. With these facts set forth, the Commis- sloners have asked the controller cf the treasury for a ruling. —— Veterans’ Bivoune. A veterars’ bivouac was held in 14th street park lost evening for the benefit of Encampment No, 69, Union Veteran Le- gion, and will continue until Saturday. The grounds were brilliantly illuminated and the stars and stripes were given a con- spicuous place in the decorations. The Henderson Drum Corps, the Kenilworth Mandolin and Banjo Club and Naecker's Orchestra were on hand to furnish music during the evening, while Messrs. Loveless and Franklin contributed to the entertain- ment with an Irish sketch. Ladies in’ charge of the various booths were Mrs. William R. Mack, Miss Nellie Wiley, Miss Lily Livermore, Mrs. Odell, Miss Florence Perkins, Miss Anna Manning and Miss Vir- ginia Keefer. —————— A Personally Conducted Tour Niagara Falls and Watkins Glen.

Many Other Cases Showing the Dark and Seamy Side of Life. Judge Kimball is out on the ocean sailing, and this morning’s hot weather session of the court was presided over by Judge Mil- ler. When Prosecuting Attcrney Pugh’s precession of District offenders appeared in the lower court there was a large audi- ence to greet the many victims. There were about two dozen men and women in the Procession, and among the females was Mrs. Ford, who is more familiarly known- as Jessie McCoy, this being her maiden name. It has been only about two weeks since Jessie was arrested, and at that time no charge was preferred against her, while her husband was sent down. Jessie’s good fortune the other day did her no good in the world, for yesterday she again fell from grace, and the intoxicant in which she indulged robbed her of her rea- son. “I'm guilty,” she plead to a charge of dis- orderly conduct, “but I don’t remember what I did or said.” “She was helplessly drunk near 15th street and New York avenue yesterday,” said Policeman Dodge. “Five dollars or fifteen days. Arthur St. Clair Smith, the colored poll- ticlan, was in the procession on a charge of disorderly conduct. _ “He pleads guilty to being drunk,” said reaps Chase, “but he was not disorder- “I arrested him because he was drunk and speaking to ladies on the street,"” said the officer. “What is your occupaticn?’ counsel ask- ed his client. “I'm a journalist, employed in the govern- ment printing office,” he answered. “He gave: his cccupation as that of a school teacher,” the officer interrupted. Smith said that he had said that because he wanted to conceal his identity. 'm a gentleman,” he said, “and wouldn’t insult anybody.” He said he knew one of the ladies to Paley he spoke, and a fine of $3 was im- Po: All About Racing. “Last night in company with one of Pin- kerton’s men I arrested this man,” said Detective Weedon, speaking about a young man named John Walsh. “He claims to be @ professional tout and earns his living on the track across the river. When he comes here he hangs about barrooms and has no ae of support.” “What do you mean by a tout?” Jud; Miller wanted to know. is oy “A man who gives tips and expects to get part of the proceeds when his tips Prove good,” answered the officer. “He's a tipster, your honor,” said Lawyer Moss, who appeared for the prisoner, “and he has as much right to go to the races as anybody else. Don’t you go to the races?” “I do,” answered the officer, “and I’ve seen you there so many times that I can’t count them.”* “And werg you not doing just what I was “Sometimes.” The officer explained to the court that the man had been ruled off the track. When on the track he dealt mostly with women, and several of them have made complaints of having been robbed. “Are any of the women here?” “No, sir.” “That's the way with thém,” remarked the court, “expect to swear-by’ proxy.” His alleged victims were sent for and one of them, Mrs. Margaret Kelly, responded. She said she attended the races yester- day and picked several winners. She play- ed several horses to win and Walsh got her tickets cashed. “I had a 40 to 5 shot on Oporto,” she said, ‘and when 1 wanted to get the ticket cashed Walsh claimed that the clerk had made a mistake in writing the ticket.” She did not know whether he got the ticket cashed or not. The prisoner said he came here as a fol- lower of the races. He lives in New York city and has been here eight months. ‘A red-haired man named E. F. Kyle ap- peared and said that the prisoner was a tout at the race track. “This man's nothing but a tout,” said Lawyer Moss, “and I saw him over there teuting Mr. Carrington.” Detective Weedon said that there are about two hundred of these touts and many of them have already been put out of the town. Judge Miller questioned the witnesses and was told all about bookmakers, touts, straight shots, odds, place bets and heard more race track expressions than had been eerd In court for many months. ‘Judge Miller thought the proof in the case did not make out a case against the young man. In so disposing of the case the judge said that these “touts” are good people to watch, and when they io anv- thing here he will send them down. Green-Eyed Monster. The green-eyed monster figured in the case of Augustus Dyson, John Diggs and Marla Parker. On 2ist street there was a disorderly gathering last night, and Maria and Augustus were responsible for it. “There was another woman in the case,” sald an officer, “and jealousy was the cause of the trouble. “Who is the other woman?” Judge Miller asked Maria. “I don’t know anything about any other woman,” she answered. “What have you to say about this?” the man was asked. “Do you know the name of the other woman?” “Yes, sir.” “What is it?” “Mary Saunders.” “Where is she?” “There she is, locked up.” The three defendants were each fined $3 or nine days. Mary Saunders, the woman who seemed to have caused the trouble, was next ar- raigned. Vagrancy was the charge against her, and she plead not guilty. “She only got out Saturday,” sald Police- man English, “and she has heen no better since her release than she was before she was sent down.” ~ “She has not been out long enough to mold her character,” said the judge. “Dis- missed.” Other Ca: ‘William P. Lasselle, who is better known 's “Gen.” Lasselle, was in the procession on the same old charge—‘‘drunk and dis- orderly.” “How long have you been on this tear?” the judge asked. nly yesterday.” \Vhat are you going to do now?” the judge asked. “If your honor will let me g swered, “I'll take just one drink. “Oh, no,” said the judge, “if you take one you will not be able to count the others, and will think-there is only one in all.” “Then, your honor,” said Lawyer Las- selle, “I'll not take one.” He was discharged. Charles Lawrence, a steamboat fireman out of work, was in court because he was found begging yesterday. “My home Is in Baltimore,” he said, “and I was begging for an old pair of trousers because I was not fit to be seen on the streets.” ” He was discharged. Robert Tompkins, a colored boy, who failed to have his lamp trimmed and burn- ing when he went out last night to ride his bicycle, was in the procession, and the judge fined him $5. Policeman Hartigan was in “Chinatown” in citizen's clothes last night, and Rose ” he an- Maris, a colored girl, said to him: “Hello, sweetness.” The policeman knew he was not her sweetness, and he made known his objec- tion to her familiarity by arresting her. “He looked at me so funny,” sald the girl, “that I spoke to him for fun.” She was sent down for sixty days. panier eh $5.00 Weekly Seashore Excur- $5.00 sions vin Pennsylvania Railroad.

ALL EYES ON ATLANTA. Colo: People Attend Party "trie Ment olor? A lawn ate was given on Howard Uni- versity campus last night in aid of the colored exhibit to the “Atlanta exposition. The entertainment was under the auspices of the Women’s auxiliary committee, and quite a substantial sum was realized. The rain in the early evening prevented a large attendance at the hour of the opening of the fete, but later on the number was much increased. The grounds were bril- Hantly lighted by hundreds of Japanese lanterns and decoratéd with flags and bunt- ing. The National Military Band, under the direction of Prof. Thcmas Wasking- ton, furnished the music. Prior to the cpening of the fete there was a parade by the officials of the commission from 12th and Q streets to the grounds. At the grounds there were addresses by some per-" Sons who were interested in the success of the exhibit. The visitors were welcomed by Prof. Jesse Lawson in a short address, in which he briefly outlined the work of the com- mission, saying that the exposition would give the colored people an opportunity of showing what they had done along all lines since their emancipation, and to that end the colored people everywhere ought to subscribe to the success of the exhibit. He was followed by Mrs. Belva A. Lock- wood, who said that she thanked God that He had put it into the minds of the At- lanta exposition managers to give the colored people a chance to show what they kad accomplished, and to demonstrate what the future has in store for them. She said that the colored exhibit at Atlanta would mf&rk an epoch in tke history of the negro race in America. Mr. Thomas L. Jones talked of the pos- sibilities of the exposition for wie ss Se people, claiming that it was a age portunity of the negro displaying his his pi ers of attainment. He was followed by Prof. Kelly Miller, Rev. Walter A. Brooks and others, who encouraged the idea for which the commission here was created. At the conclusion of the speaking there was dancing by the young people present, and the festivities were prolonged until late hour in the evening. The committee in charge of the lawn party included Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Miss M. L. Jordan, Miss H. H. Beason and Mrs. Jesse Lawson. —_——.—_—_. ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION.

The ladies of the Lafayette Relief Corps entertained the veterans of Henry Wilson Post, No. 17, G. A. R., at Marshall Hall yesterday, and a large gathering enjoyed a delightful time. Owing to a vexatious error on some of the tickets a number of the invited guests were left at the wharf by the first boat down, but they picnicked at the arsenal grounds and joined their comrades and friends by a later steamer. ‘The downpour of rain drove the veterans ard ladies to the pavilion, where they, for the time being, forgot they were no longer young, and spent a merry hour in dancing an old-fashioned Virginia reel, which was followed by a “cake walk.” Mrs. Cham- bers and Col. Bumpus were adjudged win- ners, but they were afterward considered not entitled to the cake, as they had been discovered meddling with the committee, and the committee reconvened and awarded the cake to Mrs. A. C. Starkey and Col. drs post commander of Lafayette ost. There was, however, no ill feeling, and all Went merry until the hour came to return. Mrs. Georgeanna Chambers was chairman of the committee having the excursion in charge. Among those present were Mrs. Anna Hamiltcn, Mrs. Sallie Miller, Mrs. Gertrude McFlwee, Mrs. Rose Howell, Mrs. H. H. Chambers, Miss Minnie Brideham, Mrs. Marion Gregory, Mrs. Sue M.

Hsilroad—Wages to Be Paid on New &chool Buildings. The attendance<of delegates at last night’s meeting of the Federation of Labor, which took place, as usual, at Plasterers’ Hall, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 4% street northwest,iwas large. First Vice President Worden presided. After the dis- position of routine business, recent allega- tions concerning the relations of the Wash- ington and Georgetown Railroad Company and its employes were taken up and dis- cussed, but action was deferred, because none of the delegates from the Protective Street Railway Union were present. « Some speakers last night declared their cpinion that the paper to which conductors ‘|and gripmen of the various divisions of the railway had affixed their signatures, stating that the signers were entirely sat- isfied with the present arrangement of their time, was not a correct representa- tion of the feelings of the men interested. It was alleged that the men knew that if they did not sign one of the three papers presented to them for signature they could not long remain in the service of the com- pany. The statement was also made to the federation that President Dunlop some time ago issued an order forbidding em- ployes to join the Protective Street Rail- way Union. It was decided to refer the whole subject to the Protective Street Railway Union,and it is expected that that body will discuss the question at their. meeting of this week and make a report, through {is delegates, to the Federation at the meeting of the lat- ter next Tuesday night. Work on School Houses. The joint committee appointed by the Federation and District Assembly No. 68, Knights of Labor to confer with the District Commissioners, and of which Mr. Milford Spohn of Bricklayers’ Union, No. is chairman, on the part of the Federation, dn reference to giving out the contracts for a number of pubile school buildings which are to be erected here by the District Com- missioners next fall, made a report stating that they had sent a letter to the Commis- sioners asking when" it will be convenient for the latter to receive the full committee and talk over the matter. It is the intention of the members of the committee to try to induce the Commis- sioners to have inserted in each contract a clause pledging the person to whom the award for the construction of a building shall be made to pay the maximum price for labor, which, if adopted, will secure work for a large number of union men, msny of whom are now out of employment. It was also stated that one of the contracts for a school building has already been givea out to a contractor whose name is said to be on the “unfair” ist. It was further stated that it has heretofore been the prac- tice in a number of instances for the party to whom the cantract was awarded by the Commissioners to sublet that to some one else, and for the latter to employ the cheap- est labor he could get, with the result that often, it was allegéd, it occurs that in two jobs on opposite aides of the same street the union bricklayers will be getting the standard pay adopted by the union, while the non-union men will be working for 50 cents to $1 per day Sess. The committee are of the opinion that :the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia want the work that is to be done at the expense of the taxpayers rerformed in as gaod a manner as they weuld have the samre performed for them- selves in their private capacity, and efforts will be made to persuade the Commission- ers, if they do not-already believe 5 this will be the best course to pursue. Regulating Scafiolds. The subject of the revision of the duild~ ing regulations of ‘the District, which was taken up at the suggestion of the building inspector, was referred to, and it was stated by the members of: the legis'ative committee that they are-daily expecting a reply to their request to:the Commissioners that the latter should -add a clause to the present regulations making the employer responsible for the proper construction of all scaffolding, and in the event of aceident to any of his employes by reascn of imper- fect construction of the same, he shall be arrested and charged with misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be fined such sum as the Commissioners may, in their judgment, see proper to establish. A letter was read from President Jamess F. McHugh, who is now at Atlantic City, thanking the Federation for the honor: of re-election for another term. ee REMOVALS A SURPRISE. Policemen Bassford and Elliott Dis- missed From the Force. The action of the Commissicrers two days ago, dismissing Policemen Bassford and Elliott, came in the nature of a genuine surprise to the other members of the force. ‘The officers were on duty, and had called at the house of @ colored special policeman about 3 o’clock in the morning to get some information concerning a young man who they wanted to arrest. They were in the house only a few minutes when Sergeant Dunnigan appeared and found them. Ex- planations were made, and it was nearly a month after the dccurrence, so it is said, when charges were filed. When the trial beard heard the case there was not much interest taken in it, for the special police- man corroborated every werd sald by the men charged. It was thought that the of- ficers would certainly be exonerated, but the Commissioners sent for Sergeant Dun- nigan, so it is reported, and the officers had no opportunity of listening to or meeting what he said on this occasion, and when the result was made known Monday the officers thought there had been a mistake made in the case. Both men were regarded as efficient of- ficers, and Officer Elliott had recently been detailed for clerical duty in the office of Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting attorney at the Police Court. The removal of Officer Elliott makes room for the detail of another man to do clerical duty. —————— Gov. Shepherd’s Departure. Gov. A. R. Shepherd left Washington for New York last night, and before his re- turn in October will have made a tour of Europe. Mrs. Shepherd, who was indist posed yesterday, did not feel equal to mak- ing the trip to New York last night, and will remain here until Friday.

A mo- tor car and trailer were run fo os several hours up and down, and President Phillips and other officials of the road present de- clared the test to be eminently satisfactory in every respect. A current of 450 volts, such as will be used when the road is in regular operation, wag the power that ran the cars yesterday and a maximum speed of sixteen miles an hour was attained.
