Washington, Work to Be Resumed in Local Breweries Today. Workingmen Push the Boycott—Em- ployers Have Promise of Out- side Co-Operation. The war feeling between the members of the Knights of Labor who sympathize with” the members of Gambrinus Assembly and the local brewers on account of the lock- out of the former by the latter is today more intense than it has been at any time since the contest began, and each side is more determined than ever to subdue the other. Representatives of the locked-out men and other Iabor leaders were this morning at the campaign headquarters, No. 316 8th street northwest, devising ways and means to cripple the brewers, and messengers were constantly on the go between various parts of the city and the headquarters, conveying messages and ther replies. Those in charge were in excellent spirits, and expressed themselves as confident of winning. ‘The usual conference of the representa- tives of the various breweries in the Dis- trict and Alexandria was held this morning at the office of Mr, Leon Tobriner, 414 street northwest. There was a full attendance of members, and their counsel, Me: Tobriner ‘and Woodward, were als Help From Outside. It was decided that it would not be to the interest of the brewers to divulge any of the proceedings, but it is understood that dispatches were read from a large number of the leading brewers throughout the coun- try, stating that they will not ship any beer to Washington while the present war is on, and that the United Brewers’ Association, which comprises almost every brewery that does an extensive business in the United States, has assured the Washington brew- ers that they will co-operate with the Dis- trict men in the most practical way, The Liquor Federation. The Federation of Retail Liquor Dealers, at their monthly meeting yesterday after- noon in Costello’s Hall, President E. L. Jerdan in the chair, discussed the ques- tions at issue between the brewers and Gembrinus Assembly, and passed a reso- lvtion empowering the executive board to take such steps in the matter as would protect the members of the federation. The meeting was attended by saloon keep- ers from every part of the city. The fed- eration, it is claimed, represents four- fifths of the entire number of saloons in the District, all of whom are, it is said, bound by the vote of yesterday. To Push the Fight. It is generally understooé that D. A. 66, K. of L., will at their weekly meeting to- night take further steps against the brew- ers. It is very evident that the fight between the brewers and Gambrinus Assembly jis not going te stop with the proportions it has already reached. A report was cir- culated this jhorni; ig in trade union c cles that Mr.}C. Heurich of the Heurich brewery, who,is ahout to commence very extersive building operessons, and who has heretofore exacted from his contractors that they shall employ only union men, has had the specifidations changed so that only non-uniod, men,shall in future be em- ployed by them, and Mr. Heurich was asked by a Star reporter for a statement of the matter. ‘ a In reply Mr. Heurfch said that the rumor was not strictly cortect, and that the fact is that he kas had the specifications drawn so that either uniom or non-union men can get work from him.: He had no hesitation, he said, in declaring that if the boycott on the breweries is not removed union men will be boycotted by the brewers.

The three dozen prisoners who were in custody this morning for trial in the Po- lice Couit were late in reaching the tem- ple of justice and they were surprised to find that the session of the court was de- layed until they had finished breakfast, and they were not compelled to appear for trial on empty stomachs. There was one pris- oner in the party who had not been given his coffee, and when he headed the proces- sion he made himself heard. He had not been fed for the reason that he had been arrested this morning only a short while before court convened. Spicer Dennis was the name of the col- ored man mentioned, and the charge against him was vagrancy gnd disorder. ‘The Central Union Mission was the scene of the trouble. Did I understand you ter say dat I is a vagrant?” asked Spicer when the clerk-ar- raigned him. “That's the charge,” he was told. “Dat’s ‘diculous,” said Spicer, “and no sensible man can’t understand how a citi- zen ob de town can be a vag. I ain't no hobo, but I’se a citizen.” It required the combined effort of the court and bailiff to quiet Spicer, and when his lips were finally closed for a few min- utes the trial proceeded. Spicer, it appeared, had occupied a ten- cent bed in the Central Union Mission last night, and this morning when one of the mission helpers called him he thought it was too early to rise. “I paid for my bed,” said the colored man, “‘and I ain't gwine ter be put out till my sleep is over.” But he did get up.and in dressing himself he pui on a vest belonging to another lodger. This caused trouble, and Spicer, who announced, “i'm de bully ob de town,” took possession of the dormitory. “And he had fuil sway,” said Officer Oll- ver, “when I reached there. He bad crowded out all the others and was doing all the talking.” “Did he resist?” Mr. Pugh asked. N 1 people gave evidence in the case and Spicer was again hear “If dese here people is seen m2 vagling so much,” he said, “why din’t some ob dem run me in? Dey didn’t do it, ‘cause I’se a hard-working man, and when dey seen me I had a biler id a shov: 1 ain't no vaga- bend or bum, and J always pays my way. ‘Now, judge, I don’t thinks it’s a square show for a citizen ter be swore in’ by a hobo, and dis man ain't nothin’ but a hobo, nohow. Give me a show part ob de time, judg The charge of vagrancy was dismissed, and a fine of $20 was imposed in the disor- deriy case. He Will Leave. Charles Herbert, a young colored man who says he lives in Cumberland, was in the procession as a vagrant because Po- liceman Emmert thought he had no means of support. “He came to the station last night and asked for lodging,” said the officer, “and I've seen him hanging about the ‘Divi- sion.’ “I haven't been hanging about the ‘Divi- sion,’ said the prisoner. “I came here from Cumberland to see Congressman Wel- lington and being short of funds I called at the station and asked for lodging.” “When are you going to leave?” asked the court. “Today if I get out.” “Personal _bnds.” John McHenry, alias Charles McKenna, a victim of strong drink, was in the pro- cession on a charge of disorderly. He was under the influence of liquor last night and when Policeman Auldridge saw him stopping pedestrians he questioned im about his conduct and he became very disorderly. Tm v sorry to see you going down the hill so fast,” said Judge Kimball to the prisoner, “You have been coming here now for some time and it’s about time you were mending your ways.” The usual fine was imposed. Daniel Feeney and David Carroll respond- ed to a charge of vagrancy and they de- nied the charge. “They are strangers in the city,” said the officer, ‘and have no visible means of support. “I am a_ stranger,” came on a vessel to Ne’ now on my way north.” “And what are you roll was asked. Tm thinking about said Feeney. “I port News, and am doing here?” Car- going to Newport ws to look for work,” was his repl: ‘Newport News must be a great piace for you people,” said the court, “for so many men brought here are either from there or on their way there.” Carroll was sent down for ten days end his companion was released. Other Cases. Charles Herbert, another alleged vagrant, was said to have been seen about the resi- dence of the belgian minister looking for fcod, and as he promised to leave the city he was released. Charles Kris said he was a stranger, and wanted to leave town, but his shoes are so bad that he is afraid to attempt the jour- ney. He was sent down, where he will be fed for five days and given a pair of shoes. ‘He was begging for something to eat,” was what the policeman said of William Emerson, and the judge released him. George Spencer was sent down for ten days as a vagraat, and William Clark was given two weeks —_——___ A Graceful Skater.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Preparing to Celebrate the Birthday of George Washington. Joint Committees Hold a Mceting— United States and Local Courts— Other Local Notes. A joint meeting was held last night of the committees from the three orders of the Junior Order of Mechanics, Columbia Fire Company and the Relief Hook and Ladder Company to decide upon some suit- ‘y of celebrating General George Washington's birthday. A temporary or- gdnization was perfected by electing Mr. John H. Strider of the Columbia company president, and Mr. John H. Trimyer secre- tary. The president stated the object of the meeting, and Mr. Hopkins, chairman of the committee from the Alexandria Council of the Junior Order of Mechanics, said that as this city was the home of Washington that the different organizations and citi- zens of Alexandria generally ought to get together and celebrate the 22d of February, and that the Alexandria Council of Me- chanics would do all in their power to make it a success. He also said that he thought @ parade would be the most appropriate, and that it would not only be showing re- spect to the memory of the father of our country, but that it would help Alexandria in a great many ways. ir. Ruban of the Relief Hook and Ladder Ccmpany committee suggested that a com- Mittce be appointed to send a communica- tion to city council asking them to make an appropriation to help defray the expenses of the parade, etc. Mr. Strider of the Co- lumbia objected to this, and stated that the coramittee from the Columbia company had been appointed simply to confer with the committees from the other organizations, and that he, as chairman, had no authority to act upon the motion of Mr. Ruben. The committees from the fire companies were requested to have a called meeting of their respective companies and make their report and ask that a committee be appointed with the authority to act in regard to get- ting up the parade. The motion was car- ried, und the meeting then adjourned until Saturday night. United States Court. The grand jury in the United States court, Judge R. W. Hughes, presiding, yes- terday returned the following indictments: W. H. Risdon of Warrenton, for selling oleomargeiine without ‘paying the special tax; H. F.

Assistant Secretary Hamlin yesterday gave a hearing to interested parties on the question as to what constitutes the product of American fisheries—that is, whether the nets and other devices used must be owned solely by Americans, and whether the crews must be entirely American. There were present several representatives of the fish interests at Gloucester, Mass. The conte! tion was that the crews, under the laws, need not necessarily be American citizens. a Unsatisfactory Armor Tests. A test of 415 tons of naval armor plate, representing the barhette armor of the bat- tle ship Iowa and the turrets of the cruiser Brooklyn, was made at Indian Head proving ground yesterday. An 8-inch plate was used as a representative of the entire group. A shot was fired from a six-inch gun. The plate failed to meet requirements. It was not only cracked, but broken into three large pieces. The result necessitates the tempo- rary rejection of the entire group pf armor, but a further test will be made on another plate. ot Wimodaughsis’ New Undertakt Wimodaughsis will begin teaching the cutting and fitting of dresses January 18. This is one of the first steps in introducing technical and industrial. branches which may be useful to women, either in their homes or as wage earners.

Republican Mass Meeting Arranged— A Youthful Searcher After Ada- ventures Found at Night. In Justice Johnson's court here this morn- ing a case was to have come up in which three Georgetowners were interested. Through a legal move, however, the case was temporarily set aside. Three years ago James W. Hunter, a colored man, residing here, and in the employ of Wm, H. Tenney & Son, had his legs crushed, through being “hee into by a car on the Eckington electric ine. The railroad company was sued by Hunt- er, Attorney Wm. A. Smith representing him. After long delay Smith withdrew the suit on a payment of $1,000. This was last September. Now it is charged that the at- torney has never paid this amount over to his client, Hunter. Last December Dr. Louis Mackall, jr. and Dr. James MeN. Mackall sued Hunter for $200 and $150, respectively, the amount of their bills for surgical attend- ance. Hunter confessed judgment, and stated that his money was in the hands of Smith. A garnishm nt was issued against Smith, and he replied that he had no money. The truth of his answer was legally denied, and he was ordered to appear before Justice Johnson this morning at 10 o'clock. He pe- titioned a postponement of the case until 3:36 this afternoon, that he might have time to prepare his case. The postponement was granted. Then Smith immediately sued out a writ of certioriari, stopping immediate eceears and moving the case to a higher court, A Mass Meeting. There will be a mass meeting of the re- publicans of the fourth district at Samari- tan Hall this evening at 7:30 o'clock. All the candidates are expected to be present. Samaritan Hall is cn 26th street above P. Carson's friends promise to overflow the meeting house. Chas. H. Turner is president of the or- ganized republicans of the fourth district, and Lorenzo Chase, secretary. After Adventures. Gracie West, a five-year-old baby, was found at sunrise this morning ut the corner of 32d and O streets by Seret. Robey, and returned to her parents. Gracie had crept from the house when all at home thought she was in bed. She had wandered but serntily cluthed for a considerable dis- tance. A wild desire to do something ad- venturesome was the only reason the mother could assign for the baby’s untime- ly leavetaking. Another Glass Breaker. Another glass-thrower and apparent en- emy of cyclists was “run in” last night. Officer Birkigt made the arrest. The of- fender was George Weaver. Since Judge Miller a couple of weeks ago sat down hard, figuratively sp-aking, on a man who broke a bottle in the street, to the probabie perforation of some cyclist’s tire, the police have kept a careful watch for imitators of the action. The Rosslyn Branch. The Rosslyn branch of the Pennsylvania railroad is being rapidly hurried forward, and will positively be completed in about fifteen days. The branch is now connected with the main stem, a short distance above the Long bridge, and the rails are laid at least one-third of that distance. Within thirty days Rossiyn will be quite a railroad terminus. By that time the Pennsylvania railroa will be delivering its freight and pismneare there, the Mt. Vernon electric railroad will be in full operation, and the ambitious Ar- lington and Washington railway will be bringing its passengers from afar. The latter, it will be remembered, is now petitioning the legislature of Virginia for ‘ae right to connect in almost all direc- tions. Whether Georgetown will have an ally in the new city of Rosslyn, or a rival, remaing to be seen. Death of Mrs. Barbour. Mrs. Susannah Barbour, who “died yester- day at 930 D street southwest, was a na- tive of Georgetown, and a pious and devout member of Trinity Church, where she re- ceived her first. communion from Rev. Father Lucas. She was confirmed b; the late Archbishop Eccleston, in 1836. J The Charge Dismissed. Columbus Thomas, the contractor, who was arrested Tuesday on the charge of obstructing an alley in Georgetown, was acquitted in the Police Court yesterday. It was proved that the obstruction was caused by a drayman for whcse actions Mr. Thomas was in no way responsible and the charge against him was at onve dismissed. —_—. BILLINGS NEW DR.
