AN ATTORNEY'S PROTEST ——— The scene today in the Police Court was in diametrical ccntrast to that Saturday, when the dock was crowded with a mass f offending humanity. The Christmas re- action has set in, and the prisoners ar- raigned at the bar of justice this morning were compdratively few In number. The first case, however, required fully two heurs of the time of the court, and was rendered strikingly interesting for the rea- son that Attorney Campbell Carrington took the bull by the horns, so to speak, and protested in vigorous terms against the Fractice of policemen interjecting testimony during the hearing of cases. Graveyard Rangers. Arthur Hoover, a young man with dis- rumpled hair and a distressingly battered ccuntenance, opened the proceedings by Pieading not guilty to an information charging suspicion. Hoover, it was claim- ed, is a prominent and active member of the “Graveyard Rangers,” an organization more or less notorious, the members of which use the old graveyard at 8d strect and Florida avenue as a point of rendez- vous. For this reason, and also because the young man hes been in the toils of the police on more than one occasion, he was followed when seen by Policeman Foley at 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning in the vicinity of 6th and R streets. Hoover was in com- pany with several others, and on reaching 9th and’S streets the party..s0 Policeman Foley declared, dallied for about five min- utes with a drop-a-penny-in-the-slot chew- irg gum machine outside a drug store at the cornet mentioned. Later it was dis- covered that the box had been forcibly en- tered. Earlier in the night Foley and Spe cial Policeman McBride had examined the box and found it In proper working order. In view of the circumstances Hoover was yesterday arrested as a suspicious char- acter. Hoover Makes Denial. Hoover, on taking the stand, admitted that he has been to jail, and also that he has been arrested several times. He denied emphatically, however, that he had been rear the slot machine. It was an unfortunate incident for Heover, perhaps, that he more prominently displayed on the lepel of his coat a button with the inscription, “I am somewhat of a iar myself—but there are others,” for Judge Kimball had no hesitancy in de- claring that the statements of the youth were false. Mr. Henry Hoover, a carpenter and builder, the.father of the defendant, tes- tified that by reason of a physical infirmity his son was unable to perform manual labor. “What was done with the boy when he was here before?” asked the court. “Your henor sent him down once,” re- sponded the father. “The other times I put up collateral for him. It is cheaper to pay collateral than it is to pay a lawyer sometimes.” Mr. Carrington‘s Protes: At this point Attorney Campbell Carring- ten arose, and with some spirit, said: “While I was conversing with one of my witnesses I understand that Policeman Mc- Donald volunteered to inform your honor that my client was once upon a time con- v.cted of larceny. I now enter most earn- est protest against this practice on the part of policemen and others of interject- ing testimony in such an unlawful manner. It is growing to be a crying evil and the public is beginning to take notice of it. Such action is manifestly improper and un- just, ard I protest against it in the name of justice. I certainly think that the next person who offends in this way should be fined by your honor.” “Persons have no right to do this,” re- plied the court. “It is against the rule and cannot be tolerated I was unaware that Mr. McDonald had said anything.” Attorney Carrington attempted to show that it is a habit of policemen and others to play with the slot machines, and, he stated, the box in question might have been broken in that manner. Judge Kimball reviewed the case at length, saying among other things that Hoover's denial was unquestionably false. He then ruled that the young man should give bonds in the sum of $20 or go to the workhouse for thirty days. Will Enter the Navy. Frank Mattingly, who appeared as a wit- ness in behalf of Hoover, was placed under rrest during the hearing of the case, and upon its conclusion arraigned also as a suspicious character. The charge agaiust him was the same as that which confronted Hoover. Mattingly explained that he had completed arrangements to leave for New York this evening in order to enter the United States navy. better off there than in the said Judge Kimball. “Take his personal bonds.” Jensie McCoy Gets Of. Jessie McCoy occupies a permanent posi- tion in the front rank of the squad of old- timers. As usual, Jessie spent Christmas in the workhouge, but regained her liberty Saturday. Her appearance in the dock to- day was by no means a surprise, althougi the sharge was decidedly out of the or- dinf@ry. ‘The customary “vag” information had taken a back seat for the nonce in favor of “refusii to pay hack hire.” “Jessie McCoy,” called Clerk Lum Harper in stentoriar tones, as he reached the paper in the case. “Mrs. Ford, if you please, sir,” corrected Jessie grandiloquently, with a sniff and an indignant toss of her head. In tones, noticeably subdued, the clerk read the information, and Attorney John Moss, the bard of Hillsdale, who appeared for Jessie, entered a plea of not guilty. Frank Milis, colored, the driver of a night liner, was the complaining witness, and he said that last mght the woman hired him to drive her to a residence on Athode Island avenue. “On reaching there she had a parley with a gentieman in a second-story win- dow,” “continued Mills. “He refused to tet her in and then blew a police whistle. She then got in the carriage and ordered me to drive on. When she left the vehicle she refused to pay the 75 cents due, so 1 had her arrested. “Was she alone? ‘Yes, sir.” “May the blessed heavens help the man,’ interrupted Jessie, with hriek of amaze- ment, “Mattie Meteaif was with me.” “Keep quiet,” admonished Moss and Ken- dig in chorus. “Was this woman drunk?’ Judge Kim- ball then wanted to know. “Yes, sir,” replied the hackman. “Now, why did you take a drunken wo- m a8 a passenger?” continued his honor. m not going to help hackmen collect fares from persons who were intoxicated. Case dismissed. For a moment Jessie appeared dazed. It was the first time in years that she was allowed to go scot free after being taken into court Finally it flashed upon her that the millennium had been reached so far as she was concerned. Rising with a leap as though from a red hot stove, Jessie remarked in quiver- ing voice, “Thank you, judge. God bless you.” Then with a military salute to the reporter the unfortunate woman hurried from the room, mummuring audibly, “God bless you, judge; God bless you.” Will Leave the City. _ John Butcher is a colored individual of asked the court.

He ex- pressed a willingness to leave the District at once, so his personal bonds were taken. Crap Shooters: Fined. James Piper, Prodley Banks and Malvir King, three small colored boys, celebrated Christmas by indulging in a quiet game of crep. It was of a character sufficiently loud, however, to attract the attention of a policeman. In court today Judge Kim- ball fined Banks and King $10 each, and Piper $20.00 - George Robinson was a victim of tvo much Christmas. It was a sort of keep- over jag that George took upon himself, the effects not growing noticeable until yesterday, when George gave utterance to a series of cuss words upon a pubiic thor- oughfare. “Five dollars.” Jchn Fisher is a self-confessed enemy of bicyclists..

Association Ask the Commissioners for a School Building. A delegation from the Twining City Cit- izens’ Association called at the District building today in advocacy of an appro- priation for a scheol building in that sub- | urban town. Commissioner Ross received the delegation in the board room, those representing the association being R. F. Bradbury, president; John Heratt, Henry Streitberger, A. B. Thorn, Wm. Henning, the committee on schools, and Rev. Geo. E. T. Stevenson, Charles Parker, J. M. Wood, Frank Fashnaught, Abner Burgess, A. R. Brady, Thomas Cissel and R. Brady. Rey. Mr. Stevenson was the first speaker. He said Twining City contains 114 houses, occupied by white people, has a total pop- ulation of 532 and a school population of 200. The nearest school house for the chil- dren of Twining City is at Anacostia, a mlie and a half away, and reached by a road infested by tramps, so that it is often dangerous for children’ to travel over It unaccompanied. The nearest school house in the city is at 12th and G streets, also about one and a half miles distant. Mr. Bradbury also spoke in behalf of the proposed school house, as did Mr. Barker, the latter remarking that he had lived in ‘Twining City for five years, and the only improvement the District government had made was to furnish oil lamps for lighting the roads. He had often met children on the roads leading from Twining City to the city or to Anacostia on their way to school, trudging through sleet and mud, and had frequently taken such children in his buggy. He said Twining City was the only suburban village in the District of Columbia without a school house. Commissioner Ross remarked that the needs of Twining City for a school house were very evident, and suggested that the association appoint a committee to appear before the appropriations committee at the Capitol when the school appropriations are considered.

Senor Andrade eturn¢ Confident That It Will Be Ratified, Senor Andrade, the Venezuelan minister and Mr. Storrew, the Venezuelan. counsel, arrived in New York on the steamer Cara- cas Saturday afterroon ahd Washington the same night. Mr. Andrate had a large number of callers at the lega- tion yesterday, to each and all of whom hé indicated his entire satisfaction’ with the results of his mission to Venezuela in be- half of the conclusion. of the treaty of arbitration between Great Britain and Venezuela on the lines “negotiated by the United States. The treaty isto bé sub- mitted to ar extra session of the. Vene- Zuelan congress, and its prompt ratification by that body is confidently expected “by: the- friends of the measure in this country. All that Minister Andrade will say in re- gard to the boundary treaty is that his views are expresssed in the ‘following ex- tract from a recent number of the Vene- zuelan Herald: “Minister Andrade is going to Washing- ton and brings with him a copy of the agreement. It 1s in all essential particu- lars the same treaty offered by Venozucla forty years ago to Great Britain, ‘which Great Britain refused. Under the fifty years’ clause the only territory which Suicide of a Chicago Banker, Who | Great Britain will have are the settlements Recently Failed. Otto Wasmansdorf of the banking firm of Wasmansdorf & Heinemann of Chicago, which failed last Monday as a result of the collapse of the National Bank of Ili- nois, committed suicide at his home, 549 Cleveland avenue, yesterday by shooting Himeelf in the right temple with a revolver. The constant worry and mental anxiety consequent upon the failure is belleved to have been the cause. The banker was an emotional German, and his anxiety was pitiable. Insomnia resulted from his troubles, and it is thought his mind may have been temporarily de- ranged. Otto Wasmarsdorf was born in Fienerode, near Madgeburg, Prussia, November 9, 1840. He came to America in 1863, and has been a resident of Chicago ever since. ——_—__+ 2 ______ Death of Mrs. De Hass. Mrs. Amanda M., wife of Dr. Wills De Hass, died Saturdey at the suburban resi- dence of J. K. Upton, near Gaithersburg, Md. Mrs. De Hass, until her failing health would no longer permit, was active in the literary and social cireles of this city, and was much admired for her charming per- sonality, her fine intellectual qualities and her gracious manner. She belonged to the well-known Hoblitzell family of Maryland, and was married fifty-nine years ago last May to Dr. Wills De Hass, who asur- vives her. Four children of this marriage are left to mourn the loss of a most devoted mother and _an exemplary Christian wo- man: Mrs. Kenneth McLeod of Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. Charles Noble of Elizabethtown, N. Y.; Mrs. Dr. Hyslop of Philadelphia, and Mrs. J. K. Upton of city. i ——_—_ Send It te a Friend, between the Essequibo and Pomeroon riv- ers. The fifty years’ clause will exclude Great Britain from the Orinoco country and the Cuyuni river, which is the portion of the country that Veriezuela has been especially desirous of keeping. 3 “Unwarranted attacks jiave been made on the government, but they are based on no solid argument and it surprises us not @ little to see such a rumor concerning the boundary question after everything bas been settled. eae “The United States has been the friend and representative of Venezuela, or, to put it exactly, through its rina, the United has Wegotlaied the State: Venezuela aoe ont .

He was rescued by two other skaters and was sent home in a cab after he had dried his clothing in the monument boiler room. A kerosene lamp explosion in Maria Clark’s house, No. 1020 4th street north- east, last night caused Mrs. Clark some annoyance. The damage done was only about $50, and the house was insured. Saturday night about 7 o'clock there was fire in the basement of Scott's cigar store, No. 466 Pennsylvania avenue, which threatened the destruction of the build- ing. A lighted match thrown through the grating had probably started the fire. M: Scott made an effort to extinguish the flames, andin doing so his mustache and eyebrows were badly singed. The firemen soon extinguished the flames after they reached the scene. It is thought that 5") will cover the loss. There was a fire in the show window of Sullivan’s drug store, No. 311 7th street southwest. The gas.jet and Christm: decorations were responsible for the fire An alarm from box 412 called out the fire department, and the flames were ex- tinguished before much damage was done. The water pipe connecting the watering trough at Morris road and Nichols avenue succumbed to the cold weather Satur- day. Until the repair is made the horses in the vicinity of Anacostia will have to be watered a* another trough. New potatoes from Bermuda and new beets from Florida are the latest arrivals at the market. The potatoes are very small and sell at 80 cents a peck, while the beets are of good size and sell much higher than the local beets. At an early date Prof. Lester F.

Proctor. daughter of De- tective Proctor, met with a serious_acci- dent last night while attending service at the Second Baptist Church. She missed her footing while descending the steps and fell. The back of her head struck on the edge of a step. Dr. Nevitt, who is attend- ing her, thinks her hair protected her skull to the extent of preventing a fracture. George Chipman, a thirteen-year-old mes- senger boy, met with a peculiar accident yesterday. In playing on the roof -of the building on Connecticut avenue in which Kennedy's grocery store is located he at- tempted to run across a skylight, but the glass gave way and he fell through, re- ceiving several painful cuts. He was treated by the physicians at the Emergency Hospital. Mr. J. C. Hornblower delivered an enter- taining and instructive lecture Seturday evening before the Washington Architec- tural Club, descriptive of his recent visit through England.

The names of the subscrib- of the finance committee, which will take said that the banner books of the subcom- ‘mittees, showing the largest aggregate of ,amounts subscribed, were those circulated ‘by Mr. Edwin J. Stellwagen, Mr. Ross Thompson and Mr. George H. Harries, the ‘three youngest men engaged in the meritor- lous work. Chairman Thompson said the guarantee fund of $50,000 originally deter- ,mined on had been exceeded: because sub- scribers insisted on joining in the con- tributions. Badgex, Tickets and Invitations. Other important matters were considered by the committee. A design for*the badges to be worn by the committeemen was sub- mitted by Chairman Simon Wolf of the badge committee and adopted, and Chair- man Gibson reported that at the next meet- ing the designs for tickets and invitations would be submitted. All the designs will be patented or copyrighted before being made public, ip order to prevent counterfeiting. Judge Chaney, chairman of the music committee, reported that it had been de- cided to recommend the employment of a military band of sixty-five pieces and an orchestra of 125 pieces, the members of the latter to be uniformed or attired in even- ing dress. It was further recommended that two concerts be given Saturd in addition to the two to be given Friday, and ‘that a chorus of 500 voices take part in the evening concerts. It was decided that ‘the bands and orchestras bidding for the privileges would be required to give re- hearsals. so the executive committee might judge of their merits. A book and a sou- ‘venir will be given to each person attend- ing a concert. “ Chairman Cecil Clay of the military com- mittee reported that he -had- written to twenty-seven governors of states -regard- ing the representation of state militia or- ganizations at the inauguration, and had received replies from one-third of them. Chairman Roessle of the committee on decorations of the ball room stated that applications to do the work had been re- cetved from about fifty decorators, all ot whom will formaly bid for the privilege. Street IMumination and Fireworks. Chairman Weller of the committee on street illumination and fireworks reported that the committee had been divided into twenty-two subcommittees, the chairmen of which would be Messrs. John W. Bab- son, A. B. Cappes, E. J. Hannon, Charles Moore, David Moore, J. F. Scaggs, H. L. West, J. W. Whelpley, John B. Brady, E. J. Davis, H. F. Hart, W. A. McKenney, F. L. Siddons, A. F/ Sperry, C. M. Shinn, F. L. Charlesworth, O. B. Hallan, J. E. Jones, E. M. Mosely, Samuel Ross, E. H. Tucker and 8. H. Walker. He also reported the recommendations of the committee regarding the illumination of the avenue. This plan embraces the erection of fifty illuminated arches, to be placed across intersecting streets at their Junctiongwith Pennsylvania avenue. It was also recommended that the fireworks be confined to aerial displays, because set pieces could only be seen by a small por- tion of the immense crowds that always gather on such occasions. This was ap- proved, and the others will be acted on when the amounts of money to be appor- tioned to the various committees are ascer- tained. The committee also recommended electrical displays at the various statues along the line of the parade, and it was announced that a general canvass of the city would be made to secure the illumina- tion of residences and business houses. Chairman Wine of the street decoration committce recommended that the pictures of McKinley and Hobart should not be printed, as originally intended, on the 000 paper flags to be distributed by his committee for decorative purposes. He called attention to the public sentiment ex- sting against such a use of the national Standard, and to bill introduced by Senator Hansbrou. to prevent any de- fign being placed upon the stars and stripes in the future, No. action was taken, but It is probable the recommendation will be approved at # later meeting. The members of the executive committee present at the meeting Saturday night were Chairman Bell, Vice Chairmen Louis D. Wine and 8. W. Woodward, John Joy Ed- fon,’ John W. Thompson, James L. Norris, ‘A. M. Clapp, Simon Wolf, Milton M. Hol- land, Thomas Somerviile, George Gibson, Brainard H. Warner, Gen. H. V. Boynton. Levi P. Wright, Henry A. Willard, George H. Harries, Col.

Fred Breckett was secretary and Geo. H. Walker recording secretary. The Music Committee. A meeting of the music committee was held Saturday afternoon, Judge Chaney in the chair, and Captain Kreidler, secretary. The attendance was quite large, and much interest was manifested among the mem- bers that the music for the ball and the subsequent concerts should exceed in ar- tistic finish any that has been heretofore furnished. The report of the subcommittee was read, and, after full discussion, was adopted without any change, except that the date for opening the proposals fixed at January 23, instead of January 1 Several suggestions were made as to the location of the music stands in the ball room, and a committee of three, of whom Judge Chaney was chairman, was appoint- ed to confer with the chairman of the com: mittee on ball room decorations on the subject. Judge Chaney announced that he had appointed Dr. Frank T. Howe a vice chairman of the committee, and that action was unanimously ratified. The details and @ report of the subcommittee is given in the proceedings of the executive committee, to which body it was reported by Chair- man Chaney.

Application for Admission Sometimes Deferred Until Late at Night. Wauz2r Morton, a colored man forty-five years old, who lives at L street north- west, is sick and has been so for some time, but today, when Sanitary Officer Frank sent the ambulance for him, he re- fused to go to the hospstal. He had an ex- perience last night that he did not enjoy, and which, he said, was forced on him. The Emergency Hospital ambulance was sent to his house, but as the case was not one of emergency, and the Emergency Hospital wards were already filled, the man was not admitted. An effort was then made to have him sent to one of the other hosp-tals, but as the hour was late, the sergeant on duty at headquarters directed that the man be kept at home until this morhing. But today the patient refused to go to the hos- pital, and said he was not sick enough to leave home. Sanitary Officer Frank was at his office all day Thursday and part of yesterday, but the friends of the man made no effort to have him sent to a hospital until after dark. This frequently happens in cases of sick people. They are kept at home for weeks, and then an effort is made in the aead hour of the night to get them in hos- pitals. The hospital authorities frequently refuse to take them under such circum- stances, as they say it is an injustice to the sleeping patients. Judge Maxwell has dismissed the grand jury which was impaneled to investigate alleged misdoings of county and city offi- cials at Bay City, Mich. No indictments had been returned and little progress made in the investigaticns. “APENTA” THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER. must ee UJ HUNYADI SPRINGS, Buda Pest, Hungary. “Gentle, but satisfactory in its action, Remark- able for its richness in megnesium sulphate, e= ceeding that of all other bitter waters—always of the same strength, which is, of course, a matter of great Importance.”* —New York Medical Jvarnal. “A much-esteemed pargative water."—“its com- Position is constant.
