McHugh Chosen Chief Mar- shal—Only American Flags Will Be Carried in the Procession. Nearly all of tho labor unions of the city were represented at a conference held yes- terday afternoon at Typographical Tem- ple to take action on the recommendations of the general conference committees of District Assembly No. 66 and the Federa- tion of Labor in regard to Labor day cele- bration, which will take place on Septem- ber 3. Of the forty-five labor unions of the city, all but half a dozen had delegates present, and a decided sentiment in favor of mak- ing the day an event in trades uniorism. was manifested. The chief business trans- acted was the election of James F. McHugh of the Stonecutters’ Union to be chief mar- shal of the parade. The meeting was called to order by C. J. Wells of the Plate Printers’ Union, chair- man, with E. J. Rea secretary and C. W. J. F. McHugh. Worden treasurer. The work of the gen- eral conference committees, at a meeting held on July 15, was approved, with the ex- ception that the route for the parade then adopted was changed so that the line will reach Pennsylvania ayenne hy passing down Ist instead of 4% street, the latter being. regarded as too steep for heavy teams to pass ‘down without inconvenience. Selection of a Chief Marshal. Two candidates for the chief marshal- ship were placed in nomination, the first being Edward M. Blake, a member of Ty- pographical Union, and also a Knight of Labor, who was nominated by S. H. Bell, the nomination being seconded by W. N. Brockwell. Mr. Bell said that from the time of his youth Mr. Blake had been ac- tively engaged in work for the udvance- ment of trades unions, and had been an active member of Typographical Union for eighteen years. He had been for twelve years a Knight of Labor, and had always been fighting at the front in the cause of labor. For servites rendered to organized labor, Mr. Bell thought Mr. Blake thoroughly deserving of the honor that would be conferred on him by his election as chief marshal. W._N. Brockwell also spoke in favor of Mr. Blake's election. James F. McHugh, the president of the Federation of Labor, was nominated to be ehlef marshal by Fred. ©. Connor in a highly complimentary speech. The nomi- nation was seconded by Michael Cuff, who said that the Knights of Labor had Leen honored last year by having the chief mar- shal chosen from among their number, and he thought it only fair that the other branch of organizeil labor should be pre- ferred this year in ‘he selection of a chief marshal. Wm. Connor spoke in favor of Mr. Mc- Hugh’s candidacy. He said Mr. McHugh might have been in Congress if he had coveted a political life and he had refused nominations for legislative bodies. He had always been especially active in the cause of labor. W. H. Stickles, M. P. Canty and Wm. Connor were appointed tellers for the elec- tion, which was by ballot. Mr. McHugh was declared elected by a majority of 16 3-4. was understood among Mr. Blake's friends that Mr. McHugh was not to be a candidate. Otherwise, they say, Mr. Blake would not have permitted his name to be used. As it was, Mr. Blake was congratu- lated upon the fact that he had received the support of the representatives of the largest labor bodies in the city, three of the unions that voted for him numbering fully 2,700 members. Under the rule adopted by the conference each union or assembly had but one vote, no matter what the size of its membership. Mr. McHugh’s candidacy seems to have been a genuine surprise to Blake's friends. It had been recognized be- fore the conference that the contest was be- tween Blake and others who were not put in nomination, and Blake's friends were quite confident of winning as against the other avowed candidates, but at the last minute, it is claimed, in order to defeat Blake, the other candidates and their friends united on Mr. McHugh, whose prom- inence as president of the federation and whose personal popularity made him a can- didate that no one could defeat. Other Important Questions Settled. There was considerable discussion over the question of the organization that should be given the right of way in the parade,and the bricklayers’, stonecutters’, horseshoers’ and bookbinders’ unions were nominated for this honor. Afterwafd the stonecutters’ union was withdrawn from the competition, as it was stated that that unlom was sul ciently honored by having one of its mem- bers elected chief marshal. The election re- sulted in the selection of the Horseshoers’ Union to be given right of way in the parade. ‘A resolution was offered by Fred. L. Har- ries in effect that only American flags be allowed in the parade, and it was carried without opposition. On the day of the parade every member of the Carpenters’ Union will carry Old Glory. C. W. Worden announced that the elec- trical engineers would give an excursion down the river on the evening of Labor day for the benefit of the widows of Roger Davis and Robert Phillips, the cornice workers who lost their lives while at work on 12th street a few weeks ago. Mr. John M. Berger announced that the Electrical Workers’ National Association would hold their annual convention in this city from the 11th to the 17th of November. A motion was adopted for the appoint- ment of a committee of five to draft resolu- tions to be read at the foot of Peace monu- ment as the parade passes it, these resolu- tions to be in the form of a protest against the imprisonment of Debs, the leader of the Chicago strike. S. H. Bell, Milford Spohn, L. R. Boyd, Wm. Connor and E. J. Rea were appointed on this committee. ‘The delegates adjourned to meet again at the same place and at the same time two weeks hence. —_—_—._—_ At the Bathing Beach. Officer Cotter, who is in charge of the bathing beach, reports that yesterday 550 men, boys ahd women availed themselves of the sport afforded by the free swimming spot. It was the first Sunday that ladies have ever attended. The greatest amount of deference was shown them. Yesterday another barrel swimmer came into promi- nence. He was E. E. Landon, seventeen years of age, residing on 6th street. Lan- don went ahead of all his rivals in the barrel riding business, paddling it suc- cessfully clear across the river. Landon rides equally well lengthwise or across the barrel. ‘The launching of the $200 float was suc- cessfully accomplished, It was sent off on six-inch iron rollers, the boys giving a big cheer. The trapeze was well patronized yester- day. One of those who came down to the teach, a colored boy, had a set of plate printers’ tools in his possession, which he couldn't account for satisfactorily, and he was held on suspicion of having stolen them. The patrol was telephoned for, but the ambulance was sent, it being be- Neved that a drowning had taken place. ee “The Pennsylvania railroad is the best and popular route to Atlantic City and Cape May.

Bodies Preparing to Parade—Cigar Makers and the Printers. An interesting meeting of the members of Cigar Makers’ Union, No. 110, was held Saturday night. Mr. B. M. Blake of the Columbia Typo- graphical Union, who was present, made an address, in which he urged the advisa- bility of sending a committee to all stores in the neighborhood of the government printing office where cigars are sold and insist that the proprietors handle only strictly unfon-made cigars. Mr. Blake's suggestion was adopted, and a committee to carry it out was appointed. The agitation committee was directed to continue to visit all non-union factories and jobbers and explain to the makers and buyers the difference between union and non-union cigars. A joint meeting of the Bakers’ Union and Bakers’ Monumental Assembly, Knights of Labor, was held Saturday night in Plas- terersHall. The only business transacted was in reference to Labor day, and the ap- pointment war confirmed of Mr. Herman Kahn as chief marshal. Messrs. George Kern of Bakers’ Monumental Assembly and Richard J. McCarthy of Bakers’ Union were appointed Mr. Kahn's assistants. It was announced that the breadmakers ‘will cease work at 6 a.m. on the morning of the parade and not resume their em- ployment until the same hour of the fol- lowing day. A float will be designed to ex- hibit certain departments of the trade, and the men will have as their uniform white coats and caps, sucn as they use while at work. The Journeymen ‘Tailors’ Union, at their regular weekly meeting Saturday night, discussed matters in connection with the Labor day parade. It is understood that arrangements will be made for the con- struction of a float in which the evils of the sweater system will be shown. It is expected that the trade will be largely represented in the parade. The first regular mesting of Butchers’ Assembly, No. 6341, Knignts of Labor, since its readmission to Djstrict Assembly, No. 66, Knights of Lavor, was held yesterday afternoon. Officers wer2 elected and in- stalled. The usual standing committees were appointed. Distriet Master Workman W. H. G. Simmons made an address. Clerks’ Assembly of the Knights of La- bor, which is located in Georgetown, has issued an appeal in behalf of early closing to the customers of the stores in which they are employed. The clerks desire to have the stores close at 7 p.m., and to be allowed to rest from duties after 1 p.m. on s. In support of the eppeal ‘his is a reasonable rule, and one that must commend itself. It can only be accomplished by the public making their purchases before -he hour named, and by adepting a rule never to enter a store after that hour. Also to refrain trom visiting a store after 1 p.m. on holiday This can be done without annoyaice or inconvenience to the public and loss to eur merchants, and in behalf of the hundreds who are forced to earn their daily bread, earnest appeal is made for aid in this movement. ~ —— IN THE CHURCHES.

Hill, both born and bred in St. Aloysius parish and educated in Gonzaga College. Taking his subject from the unfortunate shooting of young Ernest Green Friday morning, Rev. Daniel A. Hays, D. D., pas- tor of Asbury Methodist Church, yesterday made a few pertinent remarks to ihe young boys in his congregation, advising them to avoid all acts that have in #ny way the appearance of trespass or evil of any kind.

DISTRICT POLICE FORCE It is the Most Ooamepelitan of Any City in the World. ° ‘Phirteen Distinctive Nationalities and Sixteen Differemt Parts of the ‘World Are- Represented. Washington probaiay has the most cos- mopolitan police fopoe of any city in the world. Of 475 members offthe force 90 were born on foreign soil, and:they represent thirteen distinctive nationalities, though sixteen dif- ferent parts of the world are represented in the places of their nativity. Maj. William G. Moore, chief of police, was born in the District of Columbia and is an American of most pronounced pro- clivities, and although one-sixth of the force under him came into the world in places outside of the United States, he re- gards them all as distinctively American, patriotic and energetic in the performance of their duties. Method of Appointment. “ae military services’ of the United States had a monopoly of appointinents on the Police force here until a few years cgo, when, in order to give the chief o7 police a wider scope in the appointment of his as- sistants, Congress passed a law permitting such sppointments to be made from cither civilians or men who had seen military ser- vice. Previous to that men who had served in the army or navy were selected for the police force because it was supposed that their military training especially fitted them for such work and because it was desired to place a premium on such service. It had been hard enough to retain good men in the army and navy, and it was believed that if a five years’ enlistment would entitle a soldier or sailor to be appointed on the po- lice force, which places have always been regarded as very desirable by then:, there would be a greater incentive for them to serve the government on small salaries and under strict discipline during the period of enlistment. While this method of selecting officers was satisfactory for some time, es- pecially when there were comparatively young men who had done service during the civil war, it became apparent a few years ago that this restriction was working harm to the service. So it was that. Maj. Moore was allowed to select his men as he saw. fit. ‘Thirteen Natlonalities Represented. This.wide discrimination has resulted in an improved service, and, as stated, has called into that service people who repre- sent thirteen nationalities. As would be supposed, Ireland is at the head of the lst, and of the ninety foreigners in the service just one-half of them have to thank the Emerald Isle for giving them their lirst resting place after coming into the world. Forty-four policemen and one messenger were born in Ireland. Germany comes next on the list of na- tionalities, and that country provides eighteen members of the metropolitan po- lice force—seventeen patrolmen and one station keeper. It is thought that the com- pulsory military service of the fatherland is partly responsible for this high showing of her citizens on the police force. England 1s third in the list, and provides ten members of the Barbe Sins patrolmen and one station keeper. Other parts of ithe world represented on the force are: Ganada, four patrelmen; Denmark, two patroimen; Scotland, two patroimen, while 3 Spain, .. France, Sweden, Austria, Wdles, the West Indies, New Brunswick andl ithe Island-of Madeira each were the birthpiace of one patrolman. Of the three ina:rons-who do duty at police stations one was torm on Prince Edward Island and one im England. Among the surgeons, clerks, laborers and drivers: em- ployed on the service there are none of foreign birth. Major Moore was asked today by a Star reporter whether he couid detect any more or less efficiency on tie part of members of his force because of nativity or military service. He replied: What Maj. Moore Sayn, “I canrot notice any difierence beceuse of these reasons... The men all know what their duty is, end our discipline requires them to perform it. If any one fails to do this there is trouble in camp. “In some way the military man has had experience that gives him an advantage in this servic, but there are reasons why the civilian appointee is placed at.an advan- tage. Of course the mi:itary man under- stands what the discipline of the foreevex. pects of him, and his training. in the arm: and navy is desirable in that way. On the othen hand, -he is apt tobe a dittle: less likely to know how to deal with civilians than is the man appointed from’ ctvil life. A civil appointce Is not leng.in learning our discipline, and, as 1 said, they all fall into line in the performance of their duty, so that no difference can be seen between e that he is at the head of perkaps the most cosmopolitan police force in the world until infermed of that fact by a Star reporter, who by his permission .made an amination of the records of the office which show the nati ity of all men in the service. He cares nothing for either questions of nativity or previous experiente, but simply wants wide-awake, athletic men, who will do their duty in keeping the city in order. There are other cities in this country that have a larger proportion of foreigners in their police forces, but so far as can be learned no city can boast of having so many nationalities in such service as can Washington. —_=__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Trying a Wild West Show on a Street. Pierce Collins was arrested Saturday here for turning 35th street into a prairie race track. He ran a horse on a flat at cyclone speed. Then he tried his skill at rushing on pedestrians and vehicles and turning his animal's head just an instant before a collision could take place. Other forms of riding were indulged in— Cossack Jashes and falls, Argentine Repub- lic rushes and Mexican bucks and jumps. Collins’ exhibition cost him money. The canal managers are building ap the towpath near Dellinger’s Island. Three thousand logs, thirty feet long, will be used, and placed in a supporting condition on the north side of the Potomac. The bank in this vicinity has been weak for some months. The turnpike companies of Washington county will hold a ccmbined meeting snort- ly to consider the charging of bicycle toll.

ERNEST GREEN’S FUNERAL, The Ministers Comment edy of Friday. The funeral ceremonies incident to the burial of Ernest Green, the little colored boy who was killed by Miss Flagler Friday morning, were held at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Shiloh Baptist Church. ‘The street in the neighborhood was throng- ed with people, while the church would not accommodate all those who desired to get in the building,and hear what the ministers had to say about the tragedy. Rev. J. A. Taylor, pastor of the church, of which young Green was a member, conducted the ceremonies. On the platform were seated a number of ministers, including Rev. Walter H. Brooks of the Twelfth Street Church, Rev. W. A. Creditt of the Berean Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Lampkins of Salem Bap- tist Church, Rev. R. EB. Fister of John ‘Wesley Church, Rev. W. W. Gaines of Cul- peper, Va., and Rev. J. T. Jenifer of Metro- Politan Baptist Church. Members of the choir opened the services by singing ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee,” the congregation joining in the chorus. Following the words of the hymn, Rev. Walter H. Brooks read selections from the Scripture. A prayer by the Rev. Jenifer and the singing of the hymn, “Break Every Tender Tie!” were followed by eulogistic remarks by the pastor. What the Minister Said. After speaking of the boy’s character and his connection with the church he said: Ernest Green had been killed because human life in this city amounts to nothing. He hoped that public sentiment in such matters would change, so that no one will dare raise a firearm and point it at another unless his own life is in danger. He de- clared that no disgrace rests upon the boy, who had only stopped to pick up from the ground ‘some fruit that nature had dis- carded, and it was an act that would have been done by any person no matter how scrupulous he may have been. Rev. Walter H. Brooks also made re- marks. He spoke of the reckoning which God will have. The boy’s act may have been Indiscreet, he said, but he could not imagine how that could be compared with the act which followed, the shooting and taking of human life. Granting that the boy did reach through the fence and pick up a pear, the minister said, no serious harm had been done, and he thought almost any boy living would have done the same thing. In the time of Christ, he said, people were permitted to eat what they wanted while passing through the fields and orchards, but now, he said, times have changed, and people live in’an age of greed and selfishness. Said the speaker: “The other phase of. this matter is seen in the act of a woman, who, determined to have what is hers—seizes a revolver and takes human life In its defense. Another phase is seen in one of the station houses of our city, when the coroner's jury acquit- ted the slayer of this child of blame. Evi- dently, to take human life without just cause is no crime in Washfhgton.” The speaker said he entertained no ill feeling against any one for last Friday’s act, for he knew that God had some pur- pose which will work its way in due time. Denied .by the Family. Rev. Mr. Taylor said that he had been re- quested by the family of the dead boy to deny a published statement that they had received a sum of money from Miss Flagler. He said that if money had been offered it would have been refused. An opportunity was afforded the congre- gation to view the remains In the casket, and when the benediction had been pro- nounced the coffin was carried from the church to Harmony cemetery, six of the dead boy’s companions acting as pallbear- ers. Letters of condolence were received by the boy’s parents from a large number of persons, inciuding several treasury offi- clals, where the boy’s father has been a faithful messenger for a number of years. the Trag- etetectetetetetetetetetetetetetetntntnnnteten ROYAL } BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure.

But the Alleged Players Are Very Un- communicative About It. ‘A quiet little game of poker has been go- ing on in one of the committee rooms on the Senate side of the Capitol during the past month, it is alleged, and this having been drawn to the attention of Capt. Gard- per of the Capitol police force an investi- gation has been inrtituted. Sergeant-at-Arms Bright has had his at tention called to the alleged poker game and has done what he could to arrive at the facts in the case. But little progress bas been made, however, except that evi- dence has besn secured that certain boys with strong imitative faculties have been inclined to follow in the footsteps of their elders. Some of these youngsters are em- ployed about the Capitol and they invited their friends, it is said, to a certain com- mittee room, and in the seclusion go se- cured proceeded to discover who could win the money of the balance of the assembly. The boys have exemplified the old adage about the devil being prone to set idle hands to work, as the long vacation of Congress has left them with but little to occupy their time, and a restful game of poker was bethought. The boys who took a hand in the alleged game are inclined to be very uncommunica- tive, and when Capt. Gardner has sought to collect evidence he has found them to be possessed of very: troublesome memories, being able to remember but little concern- ing the gatherings that had been sald to take place, and also being woefully ignor- ant of the game that they are accused of playing. Capt. Gardner is now taking his vacation, so that the investigation has been deferred until his return to town. In the meantime the boys employed on the Sen- ate side of the Capitol are competing to see who can hold his tongue with the best effect and who knows the least about one seductive game called poker. —_.__ Steamer George Leary makes a_ special trip to Norfolk eeturaay) Aug. 10.
