Steamer Ma Indian Head day evenings, at BEFORE JUDGE MILLER Police Had Bad Luck With Several Ar- reste, Thomas Daley Was Not a Suspicious Person—Two Division Girls Get Sixty Days. ‘Twenty-five men, women and children, who were occupants of the Police Court cells, welcomed the change In the weather More than any other persons in this city this moraing, and, instead of having to get onthe wet floors to get a breath of cooler but impure air, they were able to sit on the iron benches and discuss politics, justice and life on the farm. In the cell set apart for females half a dozen girls, in gay cos- tumes, mingled together, irrespective of color or age, and sang Bowery songs, as well as hymns of praise, until Keeper Mad- igan called time, and then the procession started. Judge Miller was on the bench shortly after 9 o’clock, and the offenders against the District laws marched in, while a street musician’s organ played a lively march. Roy Cromwell, a colored boy, twelve years old, was the leader of the band, and the charge against him, as preferred by Po- liceman Owens, was throwing missiles on the street. “What is this case?’ Judge Miller in- quired when he caw the size of the boy. “Nothing in the world,” answered Law- yer Peyton, who defended him. “It's less than nothing. Roy walked up to the rail, carrying a bottle of tea and a sandwich, while thrown carelessly over his arm was an extra coat that he had brought from home, in: antici- pation of having to work in the rain. was on his way vork this morn- said the lawyer, vhen two of the corner loafers stepped him and caused him some annoyance, and he threw a little stick at one of them.” “I saw him near 7th street and Florida avenue this morning about 6 o'clock,” said the policeman. “He was in a dispute with some other boys, and he threw a stick at the other boy.” “What kind of a stick?” “It was about two feet long.” “Did he hit anybody?” but he came near striking a sir; Miller then questioned the little boy, who told of his employment with an oil peddler. “ was on my way to work when the po- liceman arreyted me,” sald Roy. “The other boy stopped me and wanted to take my bottle from me, and I threw the stick to get rid of him.” “Get out of here, and go to work,” said Judge Miller, “and stop throwing sticks on the street.” Not Suspicious. Thomas Dal2y, a young man who was married in jail some months ago, was next in the procession, and his better half was on hand to champion his cause. Both the prisoner and his wife were neat- ly dressed, and showed every indication of a happy couple, although the matrimonial knot was tied behind the prison bars. ‘The woman was on the sidewalk when the “Black Maria” arrived, and when her husband, with a cigarette in his mouth, emerged from the court carriage, she creat- ed a scene by thraging her arms around his neck and kissing him. “I am not a suspicious person,” the young man when arraigned, officer said he was. “I arrested him at the Center Market yesterday,” said Precinct Detective Helan. “He's a suspicious person, and was in the crowd when I arrested him.’ “What was he doing?” the judge asked. “He had some packages of soap that he was selling.” “What became of the case in which he was charged with robbery?” the judge wanted to know. “He aequitted, your honor,”’ said the officer. “While In jail he married the girl who was the principal witness in the case, so she could not testify against him.” There was no proof that he has been do- ing anything wrong since his acquittal,and the charge against him was dismissed. Was Not Begging. Thomas O'Brien, who says he is a Phil- adelphian, was in the procession on a plain charge of vagrancy. He was arrested at Benning yesterday, where tramps have an- noyed the residents so much during the past few weeks, and where many arrests have been made. “It's mighty hard, answered but the your honor, that a citizen has not the Lberty of walking through the town to look for work after having walked forty miles,” said O’Brien. ‘Where are you from?” came from Baltimore.” “But you don’t live there?” queried the court. “No, sir. My home is in Philadelphia. I live on Caroline street.” Pol:ceman Holand told the court that he could have arrested a dozen men at Ben- ning yesterday, but the others were willing to turn back and go in the direction of Baltimore. “What were they doing?” eas ng from house to house.”” wasn't begging,” said the prisoner. “Where did you get that bundle of grub you had under your arm?” interrupted the policeman. “Bought {ft in Baltimore,” he answered. “T spent my last 40 cents for it before I started here.” Judge Miller told him he could go and look for work, but he must not beg. If he is caught begg'ng he will be sent down, He was released. She Called Murder. Three colored men, Abe Scales, Oscar Eu- wards and Henry Johnson, were accused of having participated in a midnight disorder near Ist and E streets. Clara Williams, whose husband was a member of the partyp cried “murder’ to at- tract the police, and sh» expressed regrets because her husband had escaped. “The men were all under the inf Uquor,” said Policeman Gibson, “And one of them had a bottle of whisky,” added the woman. She explained that the men were dis: derly in a house, and she cried “murde: pecaune she wanted to break up the drink- ng. The men made statements in behalf, and w fined $3 each. “I'm guilty,” answered laura Hamilto a colored women, charged with disorderly conduct, and the usual fine was imposed. Alice Queenan and Lillie Gray, colored women, from Brown's court, said “not guilty " when arraigned for disorderly con- duct. “T heard about 12 o'e! Vermillion, found the women fighting.” The trouble between the women resulted from a quarrel about a bed “This trouble commenced last Friday sald a witness, ‘and Alice beat Lillie over the face with a frying pan.” Lillie was fined $1, as she was worsted in the conflict, and her former friend was fined $10, or thirty days.

Business Transacted at the Meeting Last Night. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Building Trades Council was held last night at Typographical Temple. The attcndance was excellent and the proceedings inter- esting. The credentials of several delegates from two carpenters’ organizations, also the plumbers and gasfitters and the steam and hot water fitters, were received, and, being found correct, the delegates were admitted and obligated. The report of the committee on finance was laid over until the next meeting. A report was made by the committee on Labor day parade, but it was decided not to take final action thereon until after the meeting of the conference committee hav- ing general charge of the matter, Sunday next. The committee having charge of the Shu- grue matter, to which reference was made in The Star of yesterday, made a report, and stated that they hoped there would be no misunderstanding on’ the part of the public relative to Mr. Shugrue’s position in the matter; that he has always been in fa- vor of the employmen: of union labor ex- clusively, and that when by any means any non-union man has been given work by him it was because the man had repre- sented himself to be a member of a society of organized labor; but that as soon as Mr. Shugrue had found that he had been de- ceived in the matter he had discharged the non-union man and put a union man in his place. The committee also stated that the eight union stairbullders and eight union plumbers who quit work for Mr. Shugrue on Monday returned and resumed their em- ployment there yesterday morning. There was quite a debate in reference +o matters conencted with soft stone and hard stone cutting and other matters relative to District work, and it was stated that all the societies of organized labor are anxious to get the District government to so ar- range the specifications for contracts that the contractors will be able to pay their employes living wages. It was stated that union wages have not” been paid on District work for a iong time, and that as a result much of that per- formed in the school houses and other pub- lie buildings has not been up to a proper standard. It was not coasidered fair, It was stated, that tHe District Commissioners should be the means of keeping wages at less than a living figure, and the hope was expressed that they will change their course in this respect in the near future. Various reports submitted showed that all the union men in Washington are at work; ‘that all seemed to be in good finan- cial shape, while the Building Trades Coun- cil is in a thriving condition. — AMUSEMENTS.

Creston Clarke.—When the lamented Ed- win Booth died he left the sock and buskin of his great family of actors to his brilliant young nephew, Creston Clarke, and on the shoulcers of this young tragedian must rest the responsibility to at least keep from tarnish the escutcheon of histrionic great- ness that Junius Brutus Booth created, that Edwin Booth tmproved, and that he Is expected to maintain. Edwin Booth was acknowledged by many critics to be the greatest Hamlet that ever lived, and it is le that in many ways Mr. Clarke rs his tinguished uncle in this char- acter.

GRACELAND {KOT OWNERS They Will Apply to the!Oourts for an In- junotici A Report Making Strong Objections to Woodlawn as:n Substitute Cemetery. The protective association of the lot and site owners in Graceland cemetery decided at-a largely attended meeting last night to apply to the courts for an injunction to restrain the officials of the cemetery from the further removal of the dead from this burying place. It is probable that the in- junction will be applied for today or to- morrow. This decision was the outcome of a largely attended meeting, held in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last night, at which the different phases of the sub- ject were presented. The meeting was call- ed to order by Mr. H. A. Davis, who asked the Rev. A. W. Shields to invoke divine blessing. At the conclusion of the prayer Mr. Davis stated the object for which the meeting was called, and said that a com- mittee had visited the cemetery to ascer- tain the true condition of affairs, and that the meeting was called for the purpose of taking some definite action to stop the out- rages which were being perpetrated upon the owners of lots and sites in Graceland. He presented Lawyer J. Harry Smith, the chairman of the committee which visited Graceland, and he submitted his report, in which he said that he spent the day Mon- day in trying to ascertain just what the people were doing in clearing out the cemetery. He detailed a lengthy interview he had.with Secretary Ben- jamin Meeds, stating in substance that the secretary advised him that Wood- lawn cemetery, the place selected by the Graceland people for the reintermept of the bodies from Graceland, was selected because it was the cheapest ground that could be selected, and that this was ascer- tained after corresponding with other cem- etery officials in the District of Columbia. He said that the secretary advised him that it was doubtful, according to their construction of the law, whether or not the lot or site owners had any election as to the locality where a body should be re- moved, and if they selected other than the site selected by Graceland the cost of re- moval must be at their own expense, and they would have to seek reimbursement through the courts, after the lots were sold. As to when a bedy wovld be removed he was informed that Graceland did not feel it incumbent upon it to advise parties in- terested; that they would have to seek in- formation for themselves. He was informed that certain bodies would not be removed until the fall, pro- vided the lot wherein the body was located was not sold for a building site. He asked for a copy of the regulations of the Commissioners for the removal of bod- jes, etc., and a plat of the cemetery to which the bcdies were removed, and was informed that there were no copies for the public—only so inany published as were needed for the office. He detailed his visit to Woodlawn. The cemetery, he claimed, did not exist when the law was passed prohibiting future in- terments in Graceland, and exists now only in name. Claiming that it is at least two and a half miles from Benning bridge and more than five miles from any colored church in the city, at least one-third of a mile from Benningeroad, up hill all the way. Suppcsed to contain thirty acres, and not more than: five cleared, the rest being covered entirely by thick woods and undergrowth, Two» incomplete roadways constructd, which would be impassable in winter. No vault constructed in which to deposit bodies, reinterments being made at the rate of twelve per day in graves nine inches apart, from:head to foot and side to side. All hills and not 100 square yards on the level. Some’ Renurrks. $t the conclusion of the report Mr. Dan- fel Murray announeed that as Dr.-J. R. Francis, who had been selected at a former meeting of the association as the president, had resigned, a new president should be se- ected. He named Mr.'H.’A. Davis, and he was selected as the president. Daniel Mur- Tay, esq., was chosen as the secretary and treasurer, and an executive committee, in- cluding J. H. Smith, Eugene Brooks and Warner Hurley, was appointed. Mr. Mur- ray said that he thought that the associla- tion was now in working order, and that some effort ought to be made at once to secure to the lot and site owners some of their rights in the cemetery. Dr. J. T. Jenifer, pastor of the Metropoli- tan A. M. E. Church, said that while he was not a lot or site owner, he represented a great many who were, and especially the African Methodist Episcopal Church,which had three of its bishops interred at Grace- land, and the church was interested in knowing just what was to be the final dis- posal of the bishops’ bodies. He thought that the proper thing for the association to do was to retain competent counsel at once and to ascertain just what standing the association could have in court if any in- junction was applied for. Mr. Warner Hurley advocated an injunction. He said Woodlawn was nothing more than a pot- ter's fleld; that it was unimproved; there were no vaults for the reception of the dead; the graves were only eight inches apart, with woods and hills covering the grounds. Rev. A. W. Shields concurred in the opinion of the obtaining of an injunc- tion, and it was decided that each lot and site owner should contribute 50 cents monthly to defray the expenses of the as- sociation, as this would mean $500 monthly. It was finally decided that counsel should be secured immediately, and the question of the rights of the lot and site owners be brought to the attention of the courts. ——_.
