Yesterday's Even the Police Ccurt ~ lawyers were scarce this mornirg. Jn‘ the cells there were only nine priscners;’ and seven of them belonged in Judge Kimball's proces- sion. Yesterday's rainy ‘day had the usual bad weather effect on the Violators ‘of the law, and the police patrol horses had a day’s rest. Although there were so few prisoners in the tolls, one of them, Kitty Lancaster, or Tascoe, was enough to make up for those who did not appear. Kitty 1s not one of those handsome females who so frequently figure in police circles. She is an ordinary cclored woman, whose protruding teeth give her a ghastly ap- pearance, but this apparent deformity does not in the least interfere with the use of her tongue. She was the most talkative one in the cells, and she not only spoke for herself, but did the talking for her cell-mate and all the men in the three cells. Her conver- sation was mirgled with profanity, as much as are her street talks, and she denounced the policeman, whom she said took her from ‘‘my castle.’”” She was drunk last night, and did not deny it. “I had a hundred drunks, you great, big, old, fat policeman,” she said to Officer Flynn, “and I paid for every one of them. And if you can tell why a lady can’t drink liquor in her own house and not get arrested you can do more than I can. | “And that ain’t all,” she added. “That mean policeman didn’t take me in the pa- trol wagon, but made me walk. I don’t think it’s right to make a lady walk when the men are put in the wagon and saved the trouble. “Let us have another cup of that good coffee, Mr. Flynn, ‘cause my throat don’t feel good, and I want to clear it out.” “Haven't you had your coffee?’ the big policeman asked. “I had two, but give the old gal another.” he coffee man’s gone,” the oftiver told er. “Then give me a piece of tobacco, for my toothache,” she said. “T ain't guilty of nothin’,” she said, when she appeared before the judge, with her roll and sausage in her hand. “This woman was drunk and profane yes- terday,”’ sald Sergeant Daley. “Some boys were calling her ‘Kitty Catfish’ and she was sWearing at them. ““"Tain’t so,” said Kitty. “I wasn't swear- ing at nobody. 1 don’t swear now.” She was fined $5, but as she was short of funds she went down for two weeks. Fred Brown, a young man, well dressed, was in the mixed crowd on a charge of mis- conduct at 13th and D streets. ‘The case was dismissed. John Wise, a young colored man, who might just as well be earning his livelihood as figuring in the Police Court, was in the toils on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was comfortably dressed and did not ap- pear as a man who needed to do other than legitimate work in order to earn his living. But he had been in a game of crap and it was on this charge that he was arrested. When the clerk arraigned him on the charge of disorderly conduct he said “guilty,” and expected to hear the clerk say “the court fines you five dollars.” This is what would have happened had not the-officer interrupted: “A crap game, your honor."” Then the judge said, ‘Ten dollars or thir- ty days." Vagrancy Cases. Humphrey West was next in line, and the charge against him was vagrancy and suspicion. He is a young.cclored man, who has had cne experlence ‘{n court, but last night he s found in tne “Division” near where he was arrested on a previous occa- sion. “Last night,’ said the policeman, “I found him about vestibules on 13th street. He got out of the workhouse week before last, and about four o'clock yesterday morning I found him asleep in the Post building. ‘Then, too, he has been sleeping in Heat alley in rear of the Corcoran building.” “Wher does he live?” the court asked. “He has no home,” responded the officer. “Yes, I have a home,” said the prisoner, “and I have been sleeping there lately.” The police thought the prisoner nad been in court several times, but his name could not be found on the record, and the court suspended sentence. “I'm guilty," answered Joseph McCon- nell, a Baltimore colored boy. He was charged with being a vagrant and suspi- clous person, “This boy was with West,” said the offi- cer. He's been leafing about the streets, and last night I found him in front.of the station. He said he had no place to go and wanted something to eat.” “Wher do you belong?” the prisoner was asked. “In Baltimor was his response. ‘Why don’t you return home?” Ty shoes are too bad to walk, and I haven't got car fare.” “Ten days.” Alice Smith, a colored woman from the “Division,” was in the procession because of her bad conduct on the street. The offl- cer arrested her, and instead of going along quietly she fought him all the way to the station. Alice denied the charge, but the usual fine was impozed. John M. Donovan, a soldier who was in court a few days ago end released because he was going away, falled to leave, and Ne Policeman Herndon arrested m. “I hope you will let me go this time,” he said, “I was on my way to Mr. Frank's to get transportation, when I met some friends and then got arrested. “You will have to pay a fine of $5 now before you leave,” said the court, and the prisoner went dow Other Cases, Randolph Doyle, a colored man who has been sick for some time, was brought be- fore the court on a charge of maintaining a nuisance, a foul and filthy box privy. The old man admitted his guilt, but said he had been unable to pay for the cleaning because he had been sick and out of em-. ployment. “This box privy nuisance ought to be’ abated,” remarked the court. “They should not be allowed in civilized commu- nitles where there is sewerage. There is no law, however, to compel a change, al- though there ought to be such a law.” The court suggested that the attorney for the District ought to prepare such a bill. “An attempt was made fo get such a bill through Congress at its last session,” said Inspector Howe, “but it failed.” The old man was given time in which to abate the nuisance. John Wheeler, colored, was charged with a similar offense, and was obliged to pay a fine of $1, in addition to abating the nui- sance. An I[tallan named Antonio Freshett!l, who lives in the mile limit, was locked up on a charge of selling liquor in violation of law, and the case was continued until tomorrow. Samuel Smith was given a hearing on a charge of wasting Potomac water. He showed that he was not the responsible party, and the charge was dismissed. ———_—. Written for The Evening Star.

PRISONERS ~ WERE SCARCE| PETER MAHER'S EYE a Might Not Be in Condition by ; Monday. FIMZSIMMONS «IN FINE CONDITION Skepticism Regarding the Blindness of His Opponent. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES EL PASO, Texas, February 14.—Peter Maher's eyes were a trifle better this morn- ing, but there is no telling yet whether or not he will be able to enter the ring Mon- day, to which time the big fight has been postponed. The opinions of the physicians still differ, some maintaining that he will be out in three days and others giving him at least a week to remain in his room. Even if Maher is able to enter the ring Monday he will not be able to do himself justice. He has been practically out of training for a week, and he certainly will be able to do nothing between now and Monday. If the fight comes off on that day Fitz- simmons’ chances will be very greatly im- proved. He is in splendid condition. This morning Maher was still locked in the little room in which he was placed last night. The shades were drawn and every ray of light carefully excluded. Hot band- ages were applied to his eyes at frequent intervals during the night, and when he finally dropped off to sleep toward morning a poultice was applied. There is no doubt that he is in a very bad condition. Maher is greatly worried lest the public think he has backed down or the sore eyes are a subterfuge to enable him to avoid going into the ring. Anybody secing the man’s condition could not entertain such an idea for an instant. “He is not only utterly unable to see, but so helpless that he canrot care for himself. Connolly, his trainer, said this morning: ‘If Peter rounds to by Monday there will be a fight, as far as we are concerned. We are sure that our man can win, even if he has been compelled to let up in his training. He is dead game and more than willing to tight. If he can see when Monday comes around he will get into the ring.’ ” Stuart’x Confidence. Stuart says that he is ready to pull of the fight at any time when the men are ready. “We would have been on the way to the battle ground by now,” he added, “if Maher had been in any shape at all. I was pre- pared to pull off the fight today, and I am ready to pull it off at any time the princi- pals are ready. There will be no fluke on my part when the time comes.” ‘The spot where the battle ground is to be is still a secret. The Battle Ground. Everybody thinks that it would have been in Mexico, near the line of the South- ern Pacific, anywhere from fifty to a hun- dred miles east of El Paso. Nobody knows where it would have been or will be. Con- ditious may arise, it is clairned, that will permit the fight to come off in Juarez with- cut interference, but this is not likely. The mere suggestion yesterday of such a thing seemed very funny to Governor Ahumada. “Oh, yes," he said, “right here in the bull pea. Let the gentlemen come. It will be so much easier than chasing them along the banks of the Rio Grande, and then the bull pen is so close to the jail. Nothing could be more convenient. Let them come.” Afraid of the Authorities. Johnny Murphy’s trainer, Conroy, told a peculiar tale about the trouble with Maher's eyes. He was asked if Peter's eyes were as bad as reported. “His eyes are slightly inflamed,” he re- 2 plied, “but are Wenty good cnough to fight. “If that is s0, what is wrong, then?” “I'll tell you confidentially. her is afraid of the authorities. Wednesday night our training quarters were surrounded by as hard a locking set of men, on horse- back, with rifles, aa 1 ever saw. They pa- trolled the house—that is, within fifty yards of it—all night, and had the life scared out of everybody. We learned from Deputy Marshal Jim Beard’s son, who waits on u3 at the house, that they thought we were going to pack up and leave for the battle ground, and they were ready to trail us up. Neither Maher nor anybody in our camp 1s ready to die with his boots on, and unless Stuart can guarantee pro- tection, neither Maher, Marshall nor Mur- phy will fight.” Gov. Ahumada yesterday ran across the most popular nan in El Paso just now— John L. Stllivan. Through his interpreter the governor sald: “Pleased to meet you,” and digging up some of the French he picked up while abroad, John said something that sounded like “Mercy bocoop.” Then they split a pint of champagne. Sullivan said afterward: “You can bet your life that guy Is too much of a sport to stop a fight.” Maher Leaves El Paso. Peter Maher was taken back Cruces this morning. An oculist accom- panied the pugilist. He would express no positive opinion as to his patient being able to fight within any specified time. “There seems to be a little less inflamma- tion this morning,” Dr. White said, after looking at the eyes just before the start. “Maher may be able to enter the ring Monday and make a fight.” Six Texas rangers kept guard about Ma- her's room last night. to Las Minister Romero Doubts It. Senor Romero, the Mexican minister here, gives no credefice to the story that Dan Stuart had obtained a concession of land from the Mexican government upon which the fight could be pulled off with- out danger of interference from cither the United States or the Mexican authoritles. In the first place, Senor Romero explain- ed, under the Mexican constitution state officials are inhibited from disposing by concession or othsrwise to a foreigner any land within twenty miles of the border, without the express written approval of the president of the republic, and it was his firm conviction that no such approval had been given. And in any event, he con- tinued, the person obtaining the land and those occupying it would be as amenable to the laws and authority of the general government as the people of any other section of the country, and would be held to as strict accountability for their viola- tion. Senor Romero ts strongly of the opinion that no fight will take place on Mexican territory. The federal authorities here are inclined to the opinion that an attempt ia being made to throw the officials off their guard, and telegrams have already been sent to the military and civil authorities caution- Ing them not to be misled by appearances and to keep a strict watch on all the move- ments of the fighters and their friends. ——.—__ A Candidate He Cannot Be.

OPERATIONS Qlever Work of "a “Trio in This City. Major Moore Angry Hecause the News Came Out—Boston Charley is Badly Wanted. Maj. Moore was after somebody's scalp this morning at police headquarters, be- cause of the publication of some police news pending the investigation of a case of alleged attempt at swindling, but, like the members of the force looking for the burglars who have operated here so ex- tensively, he was too late. The stories had been printed, and all he could do was to close the detective office door to reporters and have Inspector Hollinberger put up @ notle ositively no admittance except on business.” But Irspector Hollinberger admitted that reporters might call on bus- iness as well as other citizens, so that the order may not have the iron-clad effect that the major desired. This condition of affairs was brought akcut because of the alleged premature re- lease of Charles Mason, alias ‘Boston Charley,” day before yesterday. The in- dividual had been arrested by Precinct De- tective Sutton, to whom he had “been point- ed out by Private Detective McDevitt. None of the officers knew he was wanted for anything done here, and so, after being a and photographed, he was re- leased. Was Badly Wanted. Then there came to Nght a bold attempt to swindle Judge J. M. Lindsey’s wife out of $200. Judge Lindsey’s home is in Gaines- ville, Texas, but the judge has been here during the session of Congress, and the at- tempt was made to get the money frem his wife. In this conspiracy, it ts alleged, Dan- jel F. Dwyer, liquor merchant, and former pugiist friend of John L. Sullivan; J. Cun- ningham, a Texan, and “Boston Charley” figured. Cunningham and Dwyer are now locked vp, and the Cincinnati authorities have been notified to arrest “Buston Charley,” who, it is expected, will reach there to- day. It appears that a telegram was sent to Mrs. Lindsey at Gainesville, which purport- ed to have been signed by her hus! id. This telegram asked for $200 to be sent by money order to Cincinnati. It also con- tained a request that Mra, Lindsey netity her husband at the Braddock Hou 18 andria, as scon as she sent the mon. This she did, “Boston Char! it is claimed, is the man who impersunated the judge at the Alexandria Hote! Wed- esday night, and then left for Cincinnati t the £200, s ernoon the Alex- nee n wiom they wanted innati, and a message to the authoritics there without Then the police started out in ch of the other two men, and before midnight Precinct Detective Sutton had them both behind the bars. Richard Rozelle, with the the man who had to be telegr: Cunningham, the Texan, was arrest- rin the night as the Iman who had ted in the conspiracy. The Judge Annoyed. When Judge Lindsey heard that the newspaper reporters had been given the story he was very much displeased and se- verely criticised the police methods here. It developed that the post office inspectors had also been working on the case, and they, too, felt anything but pleased at the publicity. It ts said that the post office officials made complaint to Major Moore, and this had caused the latter official to call on Inspector Hollinberger and give his ctions about keeping the reporters out of the room where the detectives meet and make their reports every day. _Just what, if anything, was said to the detectives about keeping things dark is not known, but some of the officers about head- quarters assumed an air of mysiery, which might have indicated to an outsider that the burglars who had made the big hauls ef silverware here this winter would soon Le in durance vile. Another Swindle. In connection with the investigation of the attempted $200 swindle of Mrs. Judge Lindsey, it is stated that the post office in- spectors are investigating another swindle of this kind, pe ated on a real estate zent in Montana. According to the story related to a Star reporter today, a busi- nger boy, went of a down-town hotel not days ago, when he was approached by a stranger, who made some anxious in- quiries about Montana property, saying he wanted to make a purchase out there, and it his home. Montana citizen, wanting to be oblig- ing, gave him the name of a real estate deaier, and also gave the stranger permis- sion to use his name. The stranger, it Is reported, used his name without any trouble, and on the strength of it secured the loan of a large sum from the real estate man in the far off west. The police, as well as the post office in- spectors, it is reported, knew of this case, but, so far as can be ascertained, it has not been recorded in the books at headquar- ters. No One Arrested Yet. Inspector Hollinberger had not heard from the Cincinnati authorities at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and it is thought likely that “Boston Charley” probably became frightened and did not go there. Several persons from Baltimore came here today to make inquiries concerning the two men under arrest, and they also made anxious Inquiries for the Boston man whom the police had in custody and released before any complaint had been recelved. The arrests of “Boston Charley” and Chauncey Johnson here early in the week, it is said. was brought about by Private Detective MeDevitt, who gave Precinct De- tective Sutton information about them. McDevitt, who is one of the shrewdest de- tectives in the business, and who knows so many of the high-class criminals, has } been employed the Brazilian minister to make a search for his stolen property, and it was in this investigation that he happened to run across these two alleged noted crooks. “Boston Charle; who, as already stated, is known as Mortis and Mason, it appears, has been in Montana, and, according to the information received here today by the po. lice, he was driven out of Butte City by a vigilance committee when he and a com- panion attempted to operate confidence games. After his release he called at the Capitol and saw Senator Carter of Montana, who he nted to get through a will for stockade prize money to which he claimed he was entitled, ana the Senator, it is reported, promised to assist him. He also called on Mr. Coakley, one of the House doorkeepers, whom he had known in New York, and bor- rowed $5 from him. Inspector Hoilinberger said this afternoon that he thought some friend of the fugitive’s had telegrapaed him that the officers are after him, and that he left the train before reaching Cincinnati. Se PRAISED THE GOVERNMENT. German Liberals Discuss the Trans- vaal Affair. Dr. Hammerstein, in the German reichs- tag yesterday, speaking in behaif of the national liberals, praised the govern- ment for the attitude which it had assumed toward the Transvaal, and declared that Emperor William’s message to President Kruger, congratulating the latter upon hay- ing suppressed Dr. Jameson's raid, respond- ed to the feelings of all Germans, adding: “We are all proud of it and repel unjusufi- able criticisms.” The minister for foreign affairs, Baron Marshall von Bieberstein, then reviewed the recent events in the Transvaal, and in so doing stated that the government knew ab- solutely nothing about any request from President Kruger for the intervention of Germany in the affairs ef the South African republic. Baron von Bieberstein added that the British government, with the utmost energy, adopted the necessary measures after the unlawful incursion of Dr. Jame- son and that no responsibility rested upon Great Britain for the bloodshed. Continuing, he stated that the relations between Germany and Great Britain had not ceased to be normal and friendly, and he repudiated the insinuations that Germany had designs against the independence of the Transvaal, adding: “Such a policy would be swept away before the indignation of the people.” h standing from Montana | Never! | Never allow yourseif to become chilled if you cau avoid it, é - Never eat fast unless it is a matter of life and Geath to catch a train in five ratnutes.
