A daring highway robbery occurred about 1 o'clock this morning. The victim was Capt. Proctor of the schooner Jordan, which is lying at the wharf at the foot of 30th street. According to the story of Capt. Proctor to the police, he was coming across the K street bridge about 1 o'clock in the morning, when he was attacked by three burly negroes, who demanded his money. His life was threatened, and after search- ing him the highway robbers departed with $35 In cash, which they took from his wal- let. There is no clue to the identity of the robbers, as the victim was unable to catch a glimpse of them. A Street Obstruction. While the District government is ver¥ particular in regard to the occupation of public space by individuals, yet these scru- ples evidently disappear altogether in the case of the government occupying the Space. An instance In point is the occupa- tlon of 27th street by the water depart- ment. This highway comes in to M street just at the entrance to the bridge over Rock creek. Nearly the entire outlet is closed by a whitewashed board fence, which runs back for over a hundred feet, Incios- ing several lengths of the 48-inch mains. This place appears to be taken as a pipe ard, more for convenience than anything *, as the mains were dumped there from ons, and, being left over, were allowed to remain, instead of being moved to some place where they would not be in the way. M street is a narrow thoroughfare, with the calle car tracks in the center, and to avoid danger most of the wagons and car- riages pass down 27th street. The fence not only blockades the street, but makes it More dangerous, as It is hard to see an approaching cable train. A determined at- tempt is about to be made to secure the re- moval of the yard, there being plenty of room, it is claimed, in the grounds of the office of the Washington aqueduct near the Pennsylvania avenue bridge over Rock creek. Might Have Been Werse. ght fire occurred yesterday afternoon at 12) h street, a small house occupied by James Rollins. The fire was started from a piece of lighted paper held in the hands of M Rollins, which ignited a lace curtain at a window. The blaze was quick- ly extinguished, with no other damage than the destruction of the curtains. Mr. Maher Not a Candidate. Mr. John Maher is another of the politi- cal figures of West Washington who has withdrawn from the contest. He was slated as delegate from the third precinct, and had plenty of unsought-for support. He disclaims any further desire to appear A sli among the District representation at the local convention. Notes. Mrs. A. M. Fischel returned last night from New York. The president and directors of George- town University have transferred to Mary A. Parcel part of original lot 3, square made to correct the title. Thomas Wiliams, a colored employe of Georgetown University, died yesterday afternoon of disease of the throat. — BRAKEMAN SHEE DEATH. Result of t Coroner's Inquest Held This Afternoon. This afternoon Coroner Hammett held an inquest over the remains of William Sheets, in yesterday’s Star. A number of wit- nesses, workmen on the road, were exam- and they told of the circumstances under which the sad accident happened, and the jury returned a verdict in accord- ance with the facts. Two brothers of the deceased were present at the inquest. CAPITOL TOPICS. Alcohol in the Arts. The House committee on ways and means today discussed tne question of free al- cckol in the arts, but came to no conclu- sion upon changing the law. The subcom- mittee. which has the matter in charge, re- y in favor of the bill intro- A. Stone of Pennsylvania, rh repeals outright the section of the Vilson bill giving a rehate on alcohol used in arts and manufactures. Not Opposed to the Bill. Mr. Charles B. Bayly, secretary of the Music Publishers’ Association, who was mentioned in The Star yesterday as appear- ing befor2 the Houce committee on patents in opposition to the Treloar copyright bill, sald today that it was an error to count him as an opponent cf the bill. “I am not,” he said, “opposed to this bill—on the contrary, I think it admirable, and with a few modifications and amend- ments hope that {t may become a law. The House committee, having this bill in charge, held two sessions on Wednesday jest in order to hear all present who might wish to expres3 themselves. In addition to those The Star mentioned, Mr. Furniss of the Oliver Ditson Company and Messrs. Bacon and White of the White-Smith Music Publishing Company of Boston were heard. Mr. Spofford and myself will express our view to the committe on the 18th instant, to which date they adjourned.

The meeting of this society this evening at the Cosmos Club will be devoted to a paper by Mr. F. V. Coville of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, who will discuss the adaptation of plants to desert environment, with lantern-slide illustrations. Next Friday evening, at the Metzerott Hall meeting, Herr Borchgrevink, the cele- brated Norwegian explorer of the antarctic continent, will address the society upon his past and future work in the line of ant- arctic exploration, which is by many thought to offer a much more interesting, profitable and practicable field for re- search than the arctic regions. Mr. Borch- grevink's paper before the international congress at London last summer was one of the most interesting that was read, de- riving especial interest from the fact that he had that very day reached London from the antarct#&, and that he was the first man to have set foot on the continent dis- covered by Ross fifty-four years ago. Mr. Frank Hamilton Cushing, who was to have lectured next Friday, will not have return- ed from his trip to Florida, so that his tall has been postponed. Mr. Borchgrevink will be at the geo- graphic reception at the Arlington next Thursday evening, and will doubtless at- i tract much attention. the brakeman on the Pennsylvania. rail- road who was killed in the Anacostia! freight yard Wednesday night, as published POLE AND POLICEMEN AGAIN ON THE R (Continued from First Page.) (Continued from First Page.) and there they stayed as the hours rolled by. They had been told not to come down until they had carried out their instruc- tiens, Their superior officers had been cap- tured, and on their own strict obedience now depended the fate of the day. Never were soldiers in bloody battle more loyal to their trust. Those two men worked on calmly and dispassionately as if they were not the point of attraction for a big crowd that stood around the corner and tried to extract some information from the police- man, who was as non-communicative as the proverbial boiled owl. He realized the importance of his position, and would not bend in the least. To a Star reporter, who asked by what authority he had made the arrest, he would not deign to reply. “Did you have a warrant for the arrest of Thomas and his men?" “When a policeman catches lawbreakers red-handed and in the very act he does not need a warrant to take them in.” ‘How long are you going to stay here “Until they come down or until I am re- lieved by another officer. What else can I do? I cannot climb that slippery pole, and I don’t know that I could bring them down if I could get up there.” “Why don't the authorities order the pole cut down?’ The only answer to this question was a large chunk of silence and a look that was most tremendously wise. “Did you arrest President Thomas?” “Now, you needn't think you are going to get me to talk one way or the other about this affair. You will have to get your in- formation somewhere else.’" The comments of the crowd made one of the funniest features of the whole per- formance. There were several scores of small boys, and some of their remarks were very amusing. As, for instance: “Ah, look at de two chumps up a tree; de cops can’t get ’em now.” “Don't old brass buttons wish he could skin up that pole!” “Why don’t that old cop go and get a flyin' machine? He could bring down them two fellers for passengers.” Some of the men also had decided views on the situation. “It's a blanked outrage,” said one. “I can’t see why the Commissioners don’t or- der that pole cut down at once without all this monkey business. If the men wouldn't climb down then they could tumble down, I tell you, if Alex. Shepherd were running things in this city today, this problem which seems to be too hard for the Com- missioners would be solved so quickly it would turn the heads of the electric light crowd.” A High Luncheon. Abcut noon the two men up the pole be- gan to feel the need of something to eat. They made their wishes known, and one of the other linemen of the company went to one of the upper stories of the Corcoran building and lowered their luncheon down to them. There they sat on the cross-trees and devoured their sandwiches, while the peliceman on the sidewalk below watched them with a hungry eye. Shortly after it became evident that they had done as much as they could for the time being. Some of the cables that were strung over the poles are very heavy, and it would have needed a rope and tackle to transfer them. One of the officers of the ccmpany told them that they might as well knock off, and they began to climb down into the arms of the law that were stretch- ed out to meet them. Policeman Mellen stood at the foot of the pole, and gave them to understand that they might as well come with him and say nothing. The two men, D. Scanlon and P. F. Bash- ford, accepted the situation with a good grace, and the “hurry up” wagon from the station house was on the spot in a few minutes, and gave them a free ride down the avenue. President Thomas, who was now breathing the air of freedom, met them at the station, and bailed them out at $25 aplece. Mr. Thomas’ Statement. Speaking of the matter with a Star re- porter this afternoon, President Thomas said: “In view of the fact that I am under ar- rest, I do not care to discuss the merits of the case, but would prefer to leave it to the courts to decide. Still, there are one or two things that I would like to straighten out. “The old pole was not simply worn out, but was actually broken off. Early in the week I had a letter from Manager Marean of the Western Union Telegraph Company, calling my attention to the condition of the pole, and telling me that he had had it guyed to the building. During the heavy winds that prevailed several da ago the pole a menace to life and limb, for there is 24,000 pounds of wire between the south side of the avenue and G street. If that pole had gone, and it was swaying about in a most threatening manner, every- thing would have gone. On the poies are ae commercial cables, and these are very Tuesday I saw Capt. Fiebeger and told him of the condition of affairs. I asked to be allowed to put in a new pole, and he assured me that it would be all right. He promised to send an inspector at once, and I could then go ahead. I asked him’ how long it would take, and he said a couple of hours. That yas longer than 1 cared to wait, for I was seriously alarmed about the situation. “I heard nothing further about it, how- ever, and Wednesday I saw him again. He then told me that my request had been re- fused by the Engineer Commissioner. I at once saw Maj. Powell, and he told me that he could not let us put up the pole, inas- much as we have underground conduits along that street. That is true, but the only duct that was available would tot hold a tenth part of the wires that he wanted underground.- Then I asked him to let us lay another conduit, but he took the ground that under Judge Bingham’s decision the Commissioners did not have the authority to grant the permit, notwithstanding the fact that the attorney for the District has held that that decision does not affect the authority of the Commissioners toward our company, but only toward another com- pany which was not here. “I then flatly told Major Powell that I was going to put up the pole anyhow. I have done it, and that is all there is about it. It now rests with the courts to say whether I have acted within the law or whether the law Is as the Commissioners hold it to be. The reason for my action is very simple. I would not take the legal and moral responsibility of leaving that old broken pole where it was, on a narrow,con- gested street, and running the risk of its falling and killing people. The new pole is up, and the old pole is tied to it, and I have nothing more to do now and nothing more to say.” Claims of the Defense. On the part of the defense it is claimed that the charge of occupying public space for privaté purposes can not possibly hold, in view of the act of 1888 and the holding of Judge Kimball in a case against the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad,which involved the putting up of new wires to replace old ones. Under the law of 1888 no permits can be granted to string overhead wires, but it is claimed the act gives the owners of the wires the right to maintain all wires erect- ed previous to the passage of the act. In the case of the Georgetown and Ten- leytown road the court (Judge Kimbail) called attention to the act of 1888, which says that no additional wire is to be strung. The stringing of a new wire in place of an old one, the court held, is not an ad- ditional wire witkin the meaning of the law, and therefore its stringing is not un- lawful. In this case, however, there is the erec- tion of the new pole and the opening of the sidewalk, features which did not figure in the case mentioned, and the prosecuting attorney is satisfied that he will get a con- viction in the case involving the tearing up of the sidewalk. The penalty is a fine of not more than $50, but even this can be imposed but once. should the court hold, however, that the stringing of the wires was a violation of the law the wires and pole will have to be removed or fines may be imposed every day. At the Police Court. President Thomas, Superintendent Cham- berlain and Burnett, the workman, after their arrest by Policeman Mellen, were, as stated above, taken to the Police Court on two charges. One charge is that they are occupying public space for private purposes, the information alleging the violation to consist of the erection of a pole and the stringing of wires, while the other charge is injuring the sidewalk. The cases did not reach court urtil after adjournment, and their personal bonds were taken to appear in court Monday morning for trial. Under the law, the defendants are entitled to jury trials, but because of Judge Kim- ball’s former decisiors in cases of this kind it is likely that the case will be heard in the court mentioned. Huntington admitted, in a sort of fashion, that the facts deduced by the commission were somewhat accurate, and admitted, also, that he was available as a witness and gave his testimony. He said the com- mission seemed to be working on theories of its own, and he declared that he knew all about the building of the Central Pacific railroad. “I don’t care to know about the building of the road,” said Mr. Morgan, “but I want to know what you made out of it?” “We made no more than we had a right to make,” said Mr. Huntington. The examination then turred upon mat- ters of equity regarding the profits of this enterprise, and Mr. Huntington asserted that if he owned one-half of a certain tring, and somebody else owned the other half, he could divide that thing exactly in half. Senator Morgan intimated that he would probably take both halves, and asked if he would divide tke Pacific railroad prop- erty in half now. Mr. Huntington said he would do so if there was any one else en- tilled to the other half, and Mr. Morgan assured him that he would try to give him an opportunity to make such a division be- fore Le got through with him. The Construction Contract. Mr. Morgan then took up the question of the contract Letween the railroad com- peny and the construction and finance com- peny, and tried to find out just what part Mr, Huntingtcn played in the formulation of that agreement, but Mr. Huntington's memory was very defective. He said he was out of tse Pacific roads for some time, ut could not remember just how long. He declined to say whether it was a year, a mcnth or a dzy, and said he could not look up bis entire life's history from day to day. Mr. Morgan retorted that he did not want a diary, tut wanted the facis of a gcneral nature bearing upon a great public transaction, and he intimated very strongly that in his Lelief! Mr. Huntington's connec- tion with the varicus companies had been extraordinarily profitable. “I ave not wrongfu! said Mr. Huntington, smiling. “If you will specify anything that I have taken with- out right I will try to answer. I will look it up. I have taken a good deal, but it was with right.” “Yes,” replied Mr. Morgan; taken pretty nearly everything. When Mr. Morgan got back to the mat- ter of the contract he found Mr. Hunting- ton well armed with evasive phrases, such as “I don’t remember,” and “I can’t say,” and after Mr. Huntington had given vent to another outburst of virtuous protest, Mr. Morgan turned off from that tack with a remark that he did not care to hear any more whitewash words. The examination then touched upon the relations between Huntington and Colton, who owned, in Mr. Huntington's vague phrase, ‘about one-sixth” of the property. He could not say what Colton did evith his holdings; he died. He did not know what his widow did with his sixth; he was not her adviser. “Did you not buy her house in Sun Fran- ogee * asked Senator Morgan. . “Yes. “Didn’t you buy the papers in it?” ‘The wall paper, yes. Didn’t you destroy the papers in that house?” : never heard of such a charge. Well, I make it now. Answer it! “I did not destroy any papers in that house.” Did No.” ’ I want to congratulate you, Mr. Hunt- ington,” said Senator Morgan, “upon giving now the first positive answers that you have vouchsafed to my queries during this entire examination.” His Relations With Mr. Hopkt Mr. Morgan came back to the contract for building the Southern Pacific railroad, and Mr. Hopkins’ name was mentioned in this connection. Mr. Morgan tried to get out from Mr. Huntington an exact staie- ment as to just what relationship there was between Hopkins and Huntington in the railroad business. Mr. Huntington said that Hopkins was his partner in the hard- ware and metal trade, and might be called his agent in some other matters. There was @ long colloquy as to the hardware busi- ness of Huntington & Hopkins that led to no special results. beyond the usual demon- stration of forgetfulness, and Mr. Morgan tried to find out just ‘what relationship there was between the hardware business and the railroad business. But there was no penetrating the depth of oblivion into which the details of these transactions had sunk ir Mr. Huntington's mind. He “pre- sumed” that everything was done accord- ing to business methods, and “probably Hopkins had advanced from the hardware business to the railroads, but he was un- able to fay. He finally declared: “If Senator Morgan thinks I can sit here and tell the details of a business that hap- pened thirty years ago he makes a mis- take.” Straightened Ont by Mr. Brice. There was some discussion as to the pres ent interest of Mrs. Hopkins, and in m: ing an explanation after his own fashion Mr. Huntington got her confused with Mrs. Stanford, whereupon Senator Brice, who had been apparently paying no attention whatever to the examination, came out of his trance from behind a newspaper and straightened the venerable millionaire out. Mr. Huntington could not say how much money he put into the building of the tral Pacific road out of his own pocket. He could not say much of anything with defin- iteness. Occasionally, however, there came flashes of intelligence. For instance, Mr. Morgan “There is no use in wasting time in getting your opinions. 1 want a few facts. “I can’t tell you everything,” said Mr. Huntington, “I was not there all the time. Subsequently he said his recollection es e the building of the roads was very dis- tine “you have you find any papers there?” ow,” said Mr. Morgan with tion, shall expect to get some facts.” But all the facts he got were to be con- fined to the glittering generality that the roads got fifty millions of dollars in money value out of bonds, and when the roads were finished had sixty million dollars in stock on hand. Wages and materials were high, said Mr. Huntingten, and it cost a great deal to build the roals. A question arose as to the cost of a certain stretch from Bonniville Circle to the sum- mit, and it developed that the Central Pacific bought quite a considerable piece of track from the Union Pacific. The Central Pacific Company, said Mr. Hunt- ington, was constantly being hurried by the California folks. “Not a man, woman or child lived in Cal- ifornia,” he sald, “but wanted to be able to see the old folks at home.” “Yes, we have heard before about the old folks at home,” said Mr. Morgan. “I think you have told ts about them at least five times during the course of this examina- tion.” As to Dividends. Mr. Huntingtcn deprecated the idea that he and his colleagues were working for mon- ey, but he confessed that there were large dividends declared, cne year amounting to ten per cent. Mr. Morgan asserted that for ten years they averaged ten per cent, and wanted to know why the company did not fund the dividends to pay off the indebted- ress. Mr. Huntington answered that the cnly reason for such a proceeding would have been its novelty. The stock, he said, was entitled to its dividends, but he admit- ted that once upon a time he did get a reso- lution pessed through the board of directors providing for a sinking fund, but Senator Thurman brought in a bill to prevent such a step being taken. Mr. Morgan wanted to know what prevented the road from doing that during the many years that preceded the presentation of the Thurman bill, but he could get no answer beyond the declaration that in Mr. Huntington’s opinicn the peopie were entitled to all the dividends they got. After a little colloquy, Mr. Huntington said: “We have always done just what the law requires.’ “I would hate to assert that if I were you,” said Mr. Morgan. Mr. Huntington said that he had sold stock in that vay paying a dividend of 19 cents on the dollar, but in reply to a ques- ticn from Mr. Morgan that he did not do this to break the market, he thought that this was not remarkable, and he said that he had made thé sale because he wanted mcney. “Did you tell your broket asked Mr. Mcrgan, “to sell as low down gs he could get?” at is a question,” said Mr. Hunting- ten, “that the Senator should not ask me. But I did not tell him that.” Why He Sold Central Pacific Stock. He said as far as he knew these jow sales had no effect upon the Union Pacific stock; ACK) WILLIAM WILHELM I The Late Emperor of Germany Loved Education. War Was Not His Choice, But Peace Instead. An Imperi@l Decoration as Acknowledg- ment Reward of Merit. It is quite the custom in speaking of William of Germany, the late Em- peror, to take notice rather of his achievements in war than his con- duct as a ruler in times of peace. His name is mentioned, and at once athwart the chambers of the memory there comes a whole troop of war- like shadows, these shadows of the Franco-German _ conflic Metz, Gravclotte, Sedan and Paris. But it was in peace, at home among his beloved subjects, in the workshop, in the marts of trade, in the schools and in the halls of legis- lation, that the best influences and inspirations of his brain were felt. The late Emperor of Germany loved his people. He loved educa- tion, and did all he could to advance it throughout the length and breadth of his dominion. In him science found an ever ready patron, and his acknowledgment of the efforts of German scientists was often shown in the most liberal and effective manner. One illustration of this was shown by his personally acknowledging by letter the merits of the Genuine JOHANN HOFF'S MALT EX- TRACT and his appointment of JOHANN HOFF of Councellor of Commission, at the same time decor- ating him with the order of the crown. Get only the Genuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT. All others are worthless. nor had he sold Central Pacific stock in or- der to “bear’’ the Union Pacific. “Then what did you sell for?” asked Mr. Morgan. “To pay my debts. “To whom were ? “To those from whom I had borrowed money. ‘Who were they?” “Those who had let me have money.” And this remarkable exposition of finan- cal knowledge closed with a statement that he did rot know who his creditors were. Then at about a quarter to 2, after two hours and a half steady, persistent questioning, Senator Morgan called a halt, and an adjournment was had until tomor- row morning at half-past 10 o'clock. ——_— 2+ —___ At the Catholic University. - Tomorrow the feast of St. Thomas Aquit as will be observed by religious cere- mcnies at the Catholic University.

An Important opinion upon which rests a number of liquor licenses has been ren- dered by the attorney for the District. All ever the city saloons are located within 400 feet of some church or school house. Unless they were licensed at the time of the passage of the liquor law, no license can be granted them. Some knotty prob- lems have arisen since the law was passed. The one upon which the opinion was based came up several days ago. A place licensed at the time of the passage of the act in question, and within 400 feet of a church, suspended business and surrendered its license. Several months intervened, when the applicant again made application for a license, The 400 foot argument was an- ‘swered by the applicant presenting a Ucense for the place at the time of the passage of the law. Then the attorney for the District was appealed to, and replied that the applicant was not entitled to a license, because the place had not been continuously conducted as a bar room. The few months served as a bar to a license, and the excise board will reject the appli- cation. GET APPETITE. If You Don’t, You Will Never Be Strong or Healthy. = Appetite is one thing that you can’t afford to be without, for without it your health, strength and comeliness flies ont of the window.
