TRAISING Practical Steps Taken by National Anti- Saloon League, MONEY Permanent Officers Chosen and Other Business Transacted—Liberal Sub- scriptions by Different Bodies. ‘There was a comparatively small attend- ance this morning, when the closing ses- sions of the anti-saloon convention began in the Calvary Baptist Sunday school house. President Price called the meeting to order at 10 o'clock, and the opening re- ligious exercises were conducted by Rev. W. F. Whitlock of Delaware. Though the convention has been rather a short one, in point of time, it has managed to accomplish a good deal, and at the ses- sions yesterday afternoon and evening a permanent national organization was form- ed for the purpose of uniting all societies in harmony with its principles in a war- fare on the liquor business. The committee on resolutions, appointed earlier in the day, made its report, which was adopted, as follows: The Fight On. “Your committee view with great satls- faction in this gathering of delegates from the many organizations of the different states of the Union the evidence of the de- sire on the part of Christian and temper- ance people for a closer union of effort in the warfare against the saloon, and look upon it as a marked evidence of the awak- ening of the public conscience against the awful evils arising from the organized drink traffic of our lan “Believing the pu saloon to be the place where the drink habit and appetite are created, we declare an unceasing war- fare against this great evil. “We earnestly appeal to all ministers of religion, churches of all denominations, all temperance organizations, and all good citizens to combine through the American Anti-Saloon League in the use of such means as may be commended to their judg- ment and conscience, and urge upon them to subordinate all minor differences and unite for the utter destruction of this great and relentless enemy of all righteousness.” Permanent Officers. Permanent officers of the new American Arti-Saloon League were elected as follows: President, Hiram Price of Iowa; vice presi- dents, Rey. Dr. L. B. Wilson of Washington, Bishop Keane of Washington, Rev. J. J. Beecomb of Pennsylvania; superintendent, ek H.H.Russell of Ohio; secretary, James in of Washington; “treasurer, Frank W. Walsh of Massachusetts. Board of Direction. The following board of direction was chosen, with one member from each organi- zation in the league. Rey. J. De Hart Brew- in, Col. J. F. Vinal, Rey. W. F.

There was an excellent musical program rendered by Prof. Robert S. Fountaine and the vested choir of the Young Women’s Christian Temperance Union, in white gowns and Oxford caps. Miss’ Plerce of Boston also sang a solo, There were addresses by Rev. J. F. Hill of Pittsburg, Joshua L. Bailey of Philadelphia, Mrs. C.

It was decided that the headquarters of the league should be in Washington, and the office of the superintendeat temporarily in Columbus,, Onto. Raising Money. This morning, after the reading of the minutes and the trarsaction of some rou- tine business, a motion was adopted extend- ing to Governor Hughes of Arizona the thanks and congratulations of the conven- tion for his “manly stand in urging the Congress of the United States to abolish the saloon and the liquor traffic in the terri- tory.” ‘An earnest appeal was made to the con- vention to raise the necessary funds to meet the expenses of the ne organized league in prosecuting the war against saloons. It was pointed out that at least $1,000 would be needed to pay the first expenses of the league. If the league was to do any effec- tive work, from five to fifty times that amount would be necessary. Mr. Hiram Price started off the pledges with a promise of $100. Mrs. Ella M. Wat- scn of Pittsburg promised a similar amount. “The women are coming to the front,” re- marked the president. “They've always been there,” Mrs. Watson, quickly. This created a Jaugh, and before it sub- sided Rev. Mr. Whitlock pledged the or- izations from Ohio to the amount of . West Virginia followed with $100. Rey. L. B. Wilson of the local Anti-Saloon League stated that that organization was defraying the expenses of this convention, which would amount to nearly $300. Still, he did not want the league left out in this subscription, and he promised that it would raise at least $50—more, if possible. Make it $60, said Rev. Walter H Brooks, the eloquent colored minister of this city. “I'll promise to raise the additional $10, even if Il have to pay it mysel! A number of other annual subscriptions from $# down were promised. When 3080 had been raised, Mr. Price said that he would pay the remaining $20. This did not finish it, however, and several other sub- scriptions were raised. Shortly after noon journed sine die. —_—»-—__ Officers Elected. Ata regular meeting of Gen. Guy V.

No Trial of Inventor Souder for Threats. When Jacob J. Souder, the inventor, ap- peared in the Police Court today, in re- sponse to a charge of threats, preferred against him by his wife, as published in yesterday's Star, he showed no signs of mental disorder, although his wife and daughter had caused an examination into his mental condition. They had complain- ed that his mind was affected, and in sup- port of their complaint they reported that Dr. Lincoln Johrson had found him of un- sound mind. This diagnosis Police Sur- geons Nevitt and Hickling reported they were unable to verify, and they had put the inventor through a severe test. Late yesterday afternoon, when the police surgeons mentioned had concluded their examination of the incarcerated man, the latter's friends gave bonds for his appear- ance, and he was released. Mr. M. P. Key, who is an intimate frignd of Mr. Souder's, was in court today after having interested himself in his friend’s behalf yesterday,and he says he can give some interesting testi- mony in the case. Mr. Souder claims that his domestic life bas been anything but pleasant for several years. He says that he turned over to his wife what property he had, about $18,000, and after that was done his life was made very unpleasant. Among his numerous complaints is one that on the 28th of Sep- tember he was assaulted and badly injured by his wife and two daughters. He had some trouble with his son-in-law, T. B. Walker, so he says, and during this trou- ble his wife and daughters came in the room. One daughter, he says, used a cane on him, while another used a stick, and his wife used her foot on him. His injuries, he said, were so serious that next morning he was sent to Garfield Hospital, and it was reported that he had the typhoid fever, but the hospital record, he says, shows: “On physical examination extensive contus' were found on external surfaces of. left arm, over right and over left shoulders, on outer surface of left thigh. There was an incised wound on scalp in right parietal region. No bones were found broken. Pa- tient suffers from soreness and headache.” He says he remained in the hospital, un- der treatment, more than a week, and then returned home, and was surprised Tuesday night when the police appeared at his house and arrested him. Mr. Souder was accompanied by his coun- sel, Lawyer J. J. Johnson, when he ap- peared in court this morning, and it was his intention to ask for a postponement until Saturday, but when Mr. Mullowny, the prosecuting attorney, appeared in court he made the announcement that he had nolle prossed the case, for the reason that Mrs. Souder positively refused to prese- cute. ————— MINISTERS AND MARRIAGES. Washington Pastors to Consider the Needs of the Law. The introduction of a bill into Congress this week the tenor of which is so as to afford tre ministers of Washington some relief from the ovt-of-date marriage laws still in force in this District is a subject of much comment among the clergymen. Mon- day morning the Methodist Ministers’ Asso- ciation occupied all of their time with the subject and with the report of a committee sppointed by their body to draw up a report cn the subject, and, if possi- ble, present a draft of a satisfac- tory bill to be introduced into Congress. Rey. Dr. Martin F. B. Rice, pastor of Trinity M. E. Church, chairman of the committee, stated that he has had several conferences with Clerk Young, but that Mr. Young seemed ve well satisfied es matters now stand, as it takes away a good deal of labor it under existing conditions is per- formed by the preachers, but which, with their views embodied in a law, would nec: sitate his office doing the bulk. Of course the present mode of compelling ministers to go to the clerk's office to sign the records eiter performing a marriage is something of a haruship, especially in the case of some of the down-town ministers, who have more to perform than the others. But objection.

A committee to arrange for this gathering was appointed, as follows: Re L, T. Widerman, Luther B. Wilson, Baldwin, M. F. B. Rice and Ales Bielaski. ble in each of pounds of ——— Time to Think. William Hammond, alias “Skillet,” the young colored man who was arrested yes- terday by Detectives Horne and Weedon for the theft of a watch and chain from Jane Jenkins, as printed in yesterday's Star, ap- peared before Judge Miller this morning for the theft. He admitted having taken the timepiece, but claimed that he was not guilty of theft. ‘Thomas Simms, a young colored man, who vouched for his own character by telling the judge that he is a member of the Second Baptist Church, appeared in court, and said he purchased the watch from Hammond for a dollar. “Didn't you know that the watch was stolen when you bought it for a dollar?” the court asked. answered the witness. “T 2 was all right, because we both belonged to the same church.” The prisoner said that he took the watch e Miss Jenkins owed him $3. He said ed her that he would take some- thing trom her, but this she denied, “Why didn’t you take the watch back to her and get the money?” Hammond was asked. “J did think about it,” he answered. “You may have four months In jail,” judge told him, to do some m: the ‘and that will give you time thinkin, ee Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Daniel Wheeler, jr, and Ida May St. Clair; William H.

Prof. B. T. Janney presided at the meet- ing and the first business transacted by the board, after the adoption of new by-laws, was to authorize the auditing committee to prepare and have printed regular youch- ers, on which all bills should be presented, and the secretary was instructed that all money paid to him should be receipted for and turned over to the treasurer on the day following receipt. All bills hereafter must be paid by the treasurer on orders signed by the secretary and countersigned by the chairman of the board.
