Today, in Judg2 Kimball's court, there ‘were two cases involving charges of sell- ing liquor to minors filed, one against Jas. H. Jamisen and the other against Mrs. Mary J. Dougherty. Jamison, who is a €clored man, was represented by Lawyer Jcnes, while Mrs. Dougherty was repre- Sented by Lawyer Shillington. Counsel demanded jury trials, and the cases went over. The police will summon as witnesses in the case the thtee hoys who were found under the influence of liquor near the Navy ee tunnel a week ago. One of the boys, Who is only sixteen years old, was so drunk that he could not walk, and when they appeared for trial in Judge Kimball's court they said they got their liquor from the places of the defendants. The cases - Will be heard next week. FEATHER AND SPUR The Great International Poultry and Pet Show. . THE ENTRIES RON UP INTO THOUSANDS ee Many Unique and Novel Features to Be Shown. THE INTEREST MANIFESTED ———— Entries for the international exhibition of pouliry, pigeons and cats, February 14, 15, 17 and 18, will close tomorrow night. The number of ¢ntries already made is consid- erably over 5,000. They ccme from breed- ers in all parts of the country, and prob- ably there has been no poultry and pet show this year that will compare with this in number of eniries and high quality of birds exhibited. The cxhibition is to be held in Center Market Hall, which will be open for the reception of specimens at 8 a.m. next Wednesday. All exhibits not re- ceived by Friday morning will be barred from competition, as judging commences at 9 o'clock that morning. The exhibition is under the auspices of the National Poul- try and Pigeon Association, which em- braces seme of the best-known citizens of Washington, whose names are a guaranty for fair plsy and the highest courtesy and hospitality to exhibitors. The following celebrated poultrymen have been selected as judges: J. Y. Bicknell, Theo. Hewes, Newton Adams, Sharpe Butcerfield, F. J. Marshall, Henry S. Ball, D. M. Owens, George 0. Brown, T.

Class fifteen, ornamented fowls—White and pearl guineas, peafowl, etc. Special Exhibits, Besides the exhibition of all these various breeds of fowls, there also be a large number of special exhibits. One of these be the dressed poultry. Prizes will be given for the heaviest and best Gressed 15 turkey; the heaviest turkey, any age; for the heaviest and best dressed 1805 goose, 18% chicken, as also” for the best broilers and capons. There will also be a collection prize for the best display of dressed poultry of all kinds. Another spe- cial exhibit will be that of eggs. It is pro- pesed to show every egg known to the whole range of poultry and pet stock breed- ing. Beginning with the pigeon’s egg, the ecliection will run on up through bantams, all the various breeds of chickens, ducks, Zeese and turkeys, and will Include those of a large variety of wild, land and water fowl These eggs will be anon in clutches of a dozen each in nests, $o,that, the vial-. tor will get a very. good ited oP ihe aise size and weight of the eggs..of. various fowls. Besides the eggs of various domes- tle fowls, there will also be shown those Of ostriches, penguins and various birds of in- terest to the naturalist. It 1s expected that the great auk’s egg will also be on exhibi- tion. Poultry Machines. In the miscellaneous exhibitions wili also be a large display of incubators and brood- ers. Already work in this line has begun, and a large number of incubator men are in town, and for two weeks past have had their incubators started, with a view to hatching out during the exhibition thous- ands of chickens. The Prairie State Incu- bator Company now has under headway in Center Market Hall about 2 dozen ma- chines, with an aggregate capacity of 2,500 exes. But cne man is required to attend to these, and the attendants about the mar- ket say he fs the hardest men in town to find, a3 he comes there but twice a day—at morning and nigkt—and gs soon as he has turned the eggs in the machines and regu- lated the moisture supply, is gone. A number of other large incubator firms, representing a hatch of about 5,000 eggs in the aggregate, have started machines at their respective places of business in dif- ferent parts of the country and will ship the eggs here in trunks. This method seems to the ordinary observer like magic. ‘The eggs are wrapped in cotton and packed very carefully, with hot water tanks above and below, sc that they are kept at a uni- form high temperature, and are shipped by express. Experts who have done this thing a good many times say that there is as lit- tle risk about it as there is when the old hen goes cff the nest at midday to get food and water. The awards in the incubator exhibition will be made on simplicity of construction, ease of operation, application and regulation of heat, control of moisture and ventilation, and no incubator will be considered unless 70 per cent of the eggs are hatched in the show room. There will also be exhibitions of patent coops, bone cutters, clover cutters and drinking’ foun- tains. ‘Mr. Howard will show a portable brooder house, which combines every best known feature for raising little chicks. New York Exhibits. The Washington association some time ago made arrangements so that exhibitors at the New York poultry show who desired to exhibit here also could have their birds shipped directly from New York to Wash- ington and taken care of in the interval between the two shows. Yesterday Secre- tary Howard went to New York to super- intend a large number of entries coming from this source and will remain there until Monday to give his attention to it. The association will feed all birds on ex- hibition, and at its own expense takes charge of these New York show birds until the show opens next week. Monday Secre- tary Howard will make his headquarters at the Center Market Hall and be in readi- ness to give attention to all matters of de- tail connected with the exhibition. The pigeon show will include 158 differ- ent kinds of birds, showing every conceiv- able color throughout all various classes, which include carriers, pouters, pigmy pouters is, tumblers, jacobins, owls, rumpelers, fantails, oriental frills, turbits, magpies, swallows, dragoons, anhtwerps, frillbacks, archangels, runts and homers. The pigeon men are taking great interest in the exhibjtion—especially those who are devoted to homers. There will be larg flights of homers every day from the roo! of the hall to every point of the compass. Homers will be brought here from all over the United States, and in large numbers from cities within a radius of 400 or KW miles of Washington, and scores of owners of lofts within this range have signified their intention to fiy birds.

Forecast till 8 p.m. Saturday—For the Dis- trict of Columbia, Delaware and Maryland, fair tonight; Saturday, increasing cloudi- ress; westerly winds, becoming southerly. For Virginia and North Carolina, fair to- night and Saturday; warmer Saturday in western portion; westerly winds, becoming southerly, Weather conditions and general forecast: The storm central on the North Carolina coast Thursday morning has moved rapidly northeastward, and is now central on the coast of Maine. It developed with great en- ergy, anc assumed the -violence of a hurr cane on the coast. The lowest baromete reading was about 28.70 inches, with wind yelocities of rearly seventy miles an hour. Heavy rain has fallen in New England and the middle and middle Atlantic states. This storm will pass to the northeastward, with bigh northwesterly winds this afternoon in New England. An area of high pressure covers the Rocky mountain districts and the upper M valley with decidedly lower temperature. storm appears to be developing in the low Mississippi valley, where the temperature higher. Another storm has appeared to the north of Montana. The following heavy precipitation, in inch: es, was reported during the past twen four hours: Vineyard’ Haven, Mass., 1 Northfield, 1.28; Portiand, Me., 2.40; Phile delphia, 1.96; Oswego, 1.2; Rochester, 1.01 Buffalo, 1.22; Concordia, 1.20. Generally fair weather is indicated for the middle and south Atlantic states tonight, with threatening weather by Saturday night and higher temperature. For the gulf states, rain tonight, clearing and colder weather Saturday Yesterday's Storm. While yesterday's storm in this city was ssouri A quite severe, there is still the satisfaction of knowing that it was not anything like what it was a few miles to the east of us. The worst of the storm passed by somewhere out toward the Atlantic, Washington being far enough inland to be Gut of the track. In this city the greatest wind velocity was y miles, which was not half what it was along the Jersey coast. Yesterday the ba- rometer at the weather bureau went down to 28.70, lower than {t has gone for several years before. The rainfall was 2.2) inches, which was sufficient to flood a good many sewers and fill up a number of cellars with back-water. Tide Table.

The Minorca is one of the best laying fowls known. They are most energetic foragers, but they have jarge loppy combs, which are liable to freeze in winter. The rosecomb is there- fore looked forward to with a peculiar in- terest by those who own Minorcas. Adain Thompson of Amity, Mo., has entered a pen of Indian Cornish games, said to be the finest in the west and the winners of many first prizes. This entry is in direct competition with another made by Sharp, Brothers, who have the best birds of this breed in the east. R. G. Buffington of Fail River, Mass., an old and well-known poul- tryman, will show a novelty in buff Bral mas. He will also show a large number buff leghorns, buff wyandottes, buff coch- ins and buff bantams. A. J. Hallock of Speonk, L. L, the biggest duck farmer in the world, who raises and sells every year from 20,000 to 80,000 ducks, at prices rang- ing from $1 to $2, will have entire charge of the water fowl exhibit in the exhibition. He is now preparing this feature of the show, which is bound to be a large and most’ interesting one. George Vanderbilt has entered a large exhibit of fine fow! from his Biltmore estate, in North Caro- lina. Poultry Meetings. The headquarters of the exhibition and for all exhibitors and associations which will hold their annual meetings in Wash- ington during the show will be at the Na- tional Hotel, whose parlors and dining hall i will be used for the meetings. The Amer!- n Poultry Association will hold its an- fual meeting Saturday, February 15, at 7:30 p.m, The Plymouth Rock Club of America will hold its annual meeting Mon- day evening, February 17, at 7:30 o'clock. ‘This is probably the largest special poultry association in the world. It embraces breeders from all parts of the country who take a special pride in that particular breed, and perhaps it may be said that the largest and finest exhibit to be shown will be that of the barred Plymouth Rock breeders. Another special meeting will be that of the Buff Leghorn Club of America, Saturday evening, February 15, ati o’ ‘clock. This club embraces some of the most enter- prising breeders in the country, who are very enthusiastic over this new breed, whose laying capacity promises to surpass its popular congeners of the leghorn fam- ily, The American Langshen Club ,meets Friday evening, February 14. This also is a very large organization, embracing many well-known breeders all over the country. The cat show will not be small. There will be angoras, tigers, milkies, maltese, tortoise shells, blacks and manxese. ——— To Repeal the Eastern Shore Law.

Secretary Carlisle Has Given Inform: id for Bonds. The Secretary of the Treasury has sent a letter of instructions to the treasurer ind assistant treasurers. of the United States in regard to the recetpt of gold in payment of the new bonds, in which he says: “As soon as practicable the department will furnish you a list of the accepted bid- ders for the 4 per cent bonds of 1925. You will recelve payment for the bonds in United States gold coin or goid certificates, by installments or in full, as heretofore provided.” Each payment’ of: an-cinstally ment should include the principal, premium at the price named in the bid, and accrued interest from February I, 1886, to date of such payment, so that the proportionate amount ‘of the bonds representing the in- stallment will be paid for in full. You will issue for each payment your certificate of deposit, in duplicate, in the name of ghe depositor. “You will deliver the full sét to thé’ de+ positor, with instructions to retain the du- plicate and to forward the original to the Secretary of the Treasury, accompanied by a letter from the depositor. giving complete information as to the kind and cenomina- tions of the bonds desired and the place of their delivery. “The bonds will be issued on!y upon re- ceipt by the Secretary of the original cer- tificate of deposit. Any depositor may as- sign the original certificate issued in his name, in which case the bonis will be is- sued upon the order of the assignee. The department will begin the delivery of both registered and coupon bonds as soon as cer- tiflcates of deposit therefor are received by the Secretary, as above Indicatec.” The treasury has already in hand for de- livery $40,000,000 registered bonds, and $22,000,000) coupon bonds. Bonds of the lat- ter character, principally of $1,000 denomi- nations, are being printed and delivered at the treasury at the rate of $2.000,000 a day. The treasurer lost $1,073,800 in’ gold coin and $10,400 in bars yesterday, leaving the true amount of the reserve $45,208,779. Not- withstanding the success of the new loan, fears are entertained that a considerable share of the gold offered in payment will have been withdrawn from the treasury for that purp, In anticipation of the loan, the gold withdrawn from the treasury dur- ing the month from January 6 to date amounted to about $8,500,000. The magni- tude of the subscriptions to the loan, which amounted to over $558,000,000, calls. atten- tion to the fact that the total amount of gold coin and gold certificates in circula- tion in the United States is less than $550,000,000, and the: natural inference is that a great number of bidders must have depended upon getting thelr supply from the treasury or outside sources. What will be the result upon the reserve is a matter of grave concern, and; while it 1s expected that it will be augmented -by at least $111,- 000,000 as a result of the present sale, it is not so apparent that on jhe date the last installment becomes’ due’ the reserve will not have been reduced’ ‘to a spoint not greatly In excess of the $10,000,000 re- quirement.

BRICKLAYERS TALK BACK A Lively Discussion at Their Meeting Last Night. The Differences Between the Trades Unions and the Knights of Labor— Statement by the Union. A special meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union was held last evening to hear the report of the committee of that body ap- pointed to co-operate with a committee of the Building Trades Council in an effort to adjust the trouble between the brewers and their ‘esxed-out men. It was e<aounced after the adjournment that there Rad been a very free and em- phatic expression of opinion which was not complimentary to those who are said to lave assumed cherge of the boycott. The report of the Bricklayers’ committee, which was verified by the commitiee of the Build- ing Trades Council, all of whose members were present, was that the action of the Building Trades Council at the meeting Tuesday evening last was a disapproval of the boycott ard also of the methods of those having it in charge. This action was indorsed by the union by a practically unanimous vote, A motion to discharge the committee and pledging the body to remain neutral was tabled m a most emphatic manner. A resolation was introduced demanding that the matter at issue between the brewers and their locked- out men be arbitrated, but this was not con- sidered at all. A statement of the position of the trades unions was adopted. Statement by the Bricklayers’ Union, ‘The following statement of the position of the trades unions in relation to those or- ganizations exclusively represented in D. A. 66 and a denial of statements-recently made by prominent members of that body was adopted at the meeting of the Brick- layers’ Union last night, and a copy or- dered to be sent to The Star for publica- tion: “The statements made by promi- nent members of D. A. 66, K. of L., and published in The Star of Wednesday, de- claring that if the Building Trades Council had decided not to support the boycott, the District. Assembly will withdraw their representatives in the council and thus isolate the bricklayers and granite cut- ters as labor bodies are regarded by the bricklayers as a threat and considered by them as the last act in the windy program which has been played with questionable suecess by a few self-appointed leaders. who ure more interested in place-holding than in the industrial struggles of the workin; eople. They ee impotent threats that D.A. 66 will destroy the Building Trades Coun- cil by autocratically callmg away the trades represented in that body, and thus reducing it to an insignificant and help- less condition. “The fact is, D. A..66 never desired the Building Trades Council; has never recoz- ized it as a body, and would have destroy- it long ago had it possessed the power to do so. “Acting upon the ‘rule or ruin’ principle which has alwa: and which h: ‘sulted in the ruin and de. of the organization insidiously -, this impotent body has op- il Lecause an overwhelming naje sing that body belong to the fold of trade unionism, and this represent- ative body of the building trades could net be captured and controlled by them as they have done with the Federation, which, as of their peculiar methods, ‘s to D.

Il-advised boycotts, without due consideration, and for sinister purposes: ave been hastily imposed behind close: dcors, in star-chamber sessions, and the union element of the District has been com- manded, through an autocratic ukase, to support this action morally and financially, without question. “If, as in this instance, they exercise the right of judgment and action along the lines of arbitration and conciliation, they are threatened with a boycott. “It is a resort to the-same disrupting ‘methods. which, reacting upon them, has forced them from a thousand imaginary stronghclds to their iast refuge, within the District lines, “This method, here as elsewhere, will con- vince the union organizations of the neces- sity for absolute and perfect unity among themselves. A unity which will force re- spect, which will demonstrate, as hereto- fore, the lateht power of unionism, which has never been admitted as a factor in the labor autonomy of this District and which will save them from being slaughtered in the house of their professed friends. This has been the alternative forced upon them elsewhere. This, as a final culmination, will be but the repetition of the history of the last quarter of a century, as the ir evitable result of an affiliation of trade or ganizations with a quasi-labor body which, while organized ostensibly in the interest of workers, indiscriminately became a politi- cal appurtenant to any party for a small share of political holdings, Under these conditions cheap prestige has been secured as a capital to maintain place and emolu- ment. Inder the leadership of such men the legitimate purposes of trade organizations have been diverted, the basic principle prostituted, and contention and disintegra- tion has been the result. By this clement the -charge has been made that trades unionists had not sufficient Intelligence to conduct any matter of interest to organized labor, and arrogating to themselves a mon- opoly of intelligence and exclusive control, they would force all others into the posi- tion of the blind Samson, and if they will not permit the dalliance of Delilah their locks will be shorn by D. A. 66. “The building trades have no apology to make, and no fear of threats that have been made. In the past they have met trade emergencies intelligently and adjust- ed them honorably and satisfactorily, and in the supreme hour of a crisis they have endured privation and made sacrifices in -that spirit of manliness and self-abnegation which has earned them the respect of the general public, and which challenges the efforts of professional agitators to drive them from any position which, after ma- ture and intelligent consideration, they lieve to be just, wise, honest and mani; Advertisement. — Sentenced for a Second Offense.

ASSETS IN LITIGATION, Hearing in the Controversy Over Washington Endowment Association. The hearing in the controversy over the assets of the Washington Beneficial dewment Association is still on before Chicf Justice Bingham in Equity Court No. 1, and it appeared today that it would con- tinue several days longer. As explained in The Star several days ago, Judge Bingham fs destrous of first de- termining to whom the assets beiong. Th accrued from the sale of the association building, 419 10th street. The receiver of the now defunct Commercial Life Insur- ance Company of New York claims them, while the receiver of the local concern, i judgment creditors, beneficiaries, policy helders and other alleged creditors insist that the New York company was never able, financially, to assume the liabilities of the Washington association and continue its business. Hence, they contend that the transfer from the local to the New York concern was obtained through fraud, and that it should, therefore, be set de and the assets divided among the creditors of the home asscciation, Receiver A. A. Lipscomb of the Washing- ton association bzs submitted a ¢) of testimony, which sho he 5 that the New York compeny never pos- sessed any real reserve fund, or, indeed, ary available capital. Of course, counsel for the receiver of the New Yerk company deny that. Should Chief Justice Bingham hold that the assets do not belong to this company, the next question to be decided woyid be, it is said, How shall they be divided? From a remark made by the court during the present hearing it is believed that he would decide the judgment creditors of the Washington association to be en- tilled to first show in the distribution of the assets. It is also telieved that policy holders will be the last to share in the dis. tribution. If that should be the case, it is said that they would receive practically ncthing, as it is believed that the assets would be wholly exhausted in the settle- ment of the claims of other creditors, Se ee Senator Elkins and the Bond Bids. Senator Elkins returned from New York yesterday, and found awaiting him a larze number of letters and telegrams congrat- ulating him upon the success of the popu- lar bond eail, and crediting him with start- ing the ball rolling by his resolution ard speech In the Senate declaring fer such an issue. He was also cOngratulated by many Senators, as he had been by many finan- ciers in New York after the result of the call had been made known. The Senator had predicted that the bonds would he subscribed twice over, and that prices would average 111%» to 112. He says the change to the popular plan will save the country $7,000,000, and that the result dem- onstrates that the people of the United States are able to protect the national treasury without foreign assistanee. ‘open for subscriptions ‘at mse ot | the treasurer, 1907 Penn, avenue nw.
