COMING IN FORCE Quarters in Public Buildings Secured for Pennsylvania Troops. ee NEW YORK REGIMENTS WITHDRAW Notes of the Progress of Prepara- tions for the !nauguration. ee ACTION OF COMMITTEES eae ee Adjt. Gen. Thomas J. Stewart of the Pennsylvania National Guard, who has the rank of major general, left for his home in Harrisburg this afternoon. He stated to a Star reporter before his depar- ture that he had made arrangements for the quartering of the Pennsylvania mili- tia in the Interior Department, the Post Office Department and portions of the State, War and Navy Department. “We will come in full force, he re- marked, heartily. “The railroads have shown a very kind disposition to treat us well, and our men are nearly all anxious to turn out in honor of Maj. McKinley. I was very much gratified at my reception by the heads of the departments here, and they expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with the rigid rules which have been drawn up for the guidance of our men, and especially with our system of sentinel service that will be observed while we are here.” Gen. Stewart had a pleasant good-bye in- terview with Chairman Bell. Among Chairman Bell's callers today were Mr. Joseph H. Manley of Maine and a number of members of the executive committee, who looked over the progress being made by their respective committees. The agreement for the use of the Pension building has not yet been signed, as one or two changes are found to be desirable. Still Anxious for State Arches. The committee on street illuminations and fireworks will meet tonight at head- quarters, and it is understood that the recommendation to have state arches erect- ed at the Intersection of the various streets with the avenue along the line of the parade will again be urged upon the ex- ecutive committee for adoption. Chairman Michael I. Weller said he would have on exhibition a miniature design, made by Roginski, of one of the proposed arches, so that ocular demonstration could be given of what his committee wanted. The design includes an arrangement of electric lights, 124 in number, swung across the street upen a cable between tal poles. It is not regarded as ai all probable, however, that the executive committee will recon- sider its recent declination to approve the plan. Representatives of the General Electric Lighting Co. of New York arrived this morning to submit designs and bids for the illumination of the ball room. Rates From New York Too High. ‘apt. Allison Nailor of the military com- mittee ts in recelpt of a letter from the adjutant of the 7ist New York Regiment notifying him that the officers of the regi- ment at a recent meeting had determined to rescind their former action deciding to participate in the inaugural parade and announcing that the regiment would not come. This announcement came in the na- ture of a surprise, as the 7lst had nearly completed its arrangements for the trip here, and negotiations were in progress looking to its occupancy of the Washing- ton Light Infantry armory during its stay in Washington. It is understood that the reason the regiment officials changed their ds was cn account of the high rates for transportation demanded by the rail- roads. On former inaugural occasions the railroad companies have given a round trip rate from New York at the price of a single trip ticket, but this time the roads demend $8 for the service. It is probable that the 22d New York Regiment will follow the example of the 71st, and that other New York military bodies will forego their present intention to participate in the parade for the same reasen. Organizations and Their Uniforms. The civic committee reports that the fol- Jowing organizations have sent notifications of their intention to march in the parade: Young Men’s Blaine Club of Cincinnati, 350 men, attired in regulation overcoats, white high hats, canes and gloves to match, with a band of fifty pieces. Allegheny County Six-Footer Club of Pittsburg, 100 men, uniformed in blue swallow-tail coats with yellow trimmings, end the Midget Drum Corps of twelve pieces. Matthew S. Quay Club, Philadelphia; seventy-five men, and band of sixteen pieces. Thg¢ men will wear slate colored overcoats and high silk hats. Chairman Wright's report today showed accommodations had been registered for 21,422 persons, and places where 9,500 peo- ple can be served with meals at cone time; 205 windows and twelve balconies from which the parade can be viewed have been recorded; 8) horses for hire on inaugyra- tion day have also been registered. Interesting Committee Meetings. ‘The first meeting of the military com- mittee was held last night and was largely attended. Chairman Cecil Clay, who pre- sided, defined the duties of the body to the gathering, which are, as is well known by readers of The Star, to keep a record of the military organizations which will come to the inauguration, to meet them upon their arrival in Washington, escort them to their quarters and generally oversee the arrange- ments for their comfort and entertainment. Assistant Adjutant General Stewart of the Pennsylvania State National Guard was present at the meeting and promised the appearance in tne parade of an almost complete representation of the keystone state militia, including Governor Hastings and his staff. ‘The banquet committee met last night and adopted the design for the supper tick- ets submitted by Mr. Andrew Boyd, and decided to recommend that he be awarded the contract to print 10,000 of them. The tickets will bear a picture of President Mc- Kinley end will be otherwise attractive. It was also determined to build a kitchen on the parking at the G street side of the pension building, extending from the en- trance toward 4th street for a distance of 200 feet. Messrs. Benjamin Butterworth and J. L. Norris had a pleasant interview yesterday with Secretary Carlisle in relation to the Gesired illumination of the treasury build- ing. Mr. Carlisle said he wished to do everything in his power to aid in making the celebration of President McKinley's in- avguration as successful as possible, and stated that he would instruct the super- vising architect to prepare an estimate of the cost of an apprepriate illumination of the butlding, which the committee repre- sented by his callers would submit to Con- gress.

General Porter is known to be very favorably inclined toward this pro- posed feature. The meeting also listened to an interesting resume of the organizations which have sent notificetions of their in- tention to participate in the inaugural par- ade, and general satisfaction was expressed at the gratifying indications shown in the report. Treasurer John Joy Edson reports that the sum of $24,010 has been paid in by sub- scribers to the guarantee fund and depos- ited by him to the order of the executive committee. As a Legal Day. A correspondent sends to The Star the following suggestion: “‘The inauguration of a President occurs but once in four years. Why cannot the day on which it takes place be made a legal holiday in the District of Columbia, so can have a chance to enjoy the occasion? Let the attention of Congress be called to this matter and it March 4, can be done before 1897. We have none too many Reception Planned.

Mr. Goldsoll and Mr. Boteler Hav Falling Out. In the Police Court this morning Judge Miller settled a dispute between Louis H. Goldsoll, proprietor of the “Diamond Pal- ace,” on Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 10th streets, and John W. Boteler, from whom he rents the store room. The trou- ble between them took place in Mr. Bote- ler’s office in rear of the store yesterday afternoon, and he appeared as complain- ant, charging Mr. Goldsoll with assault. Since the jewelry dealer. moved in the store about ten weeks ago he had had troubl> with his landlord. It appears that some of the trouble resulted from the putting of signs en the front window in alleged viola- tion of the terms of the lease. - “I was in my office alone when Mr. Gold- soll came in,” said Mr. Boteler to the court. “I was seated at my desk when he entered and asked me if I had done a cer- tain thing. My answer was ‘Yes, and I'll do it again,’ whereupon he struck me in the face. He struck me two blows in the face and one on my body.” “Where were you at the time?” “I was seated,” was Mr. Boteler’s re- sponse. “If I had been on my feet I would not have come to this court and com- plained.”” “Perhaps then it is a good thing you were not on your feet,” remarked the court. Mr. Goldsoll denied that he dealt the blows charged. He said that he had an argument with Mr. Boteler and when he (defendant) pushed him he fell over a chair. “How was his face injured if you did not strike him?” the court asked. “By falling over the chair.” The court fined Mr. Goldsoll $15, which he paid. ——$<——_ Union Republican Club.

A MEETING TONIGHT Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington stre=t. Alexandria, Va., January 15, 1897. As foreshadowed in The Star, the policy war which has been going on quietly in this city for several days past came to a startling climax yesterday afternoon. At 4:30 o'clock Sergeant Smith and his squad of officers raided six of the most notorious policy dives in the city and made captures of such importance as will, for a while at least, it is believed, put a stop to this form of gambling. For some days past Sergeant Smith has been working on these cases, and from past experiences in such matters concluded that it would be wise for him to keep his information to himself until the time came to act. Yesterday afternoon he got a squad of eleven officers in readiness, his own squad and Officers Bettis and Knight of the squad “‘off duty,” and made known to them his intention of making a raid, but even then did not tell them where or when. When all was in readiness he went to Mayor Thompson about five minutes be- fore 4 o'clock with the warrants, which he had previously prepared. These warrants charged that the poiicy men ‘did unlaw- fully sell chances and tickets in a lottery for money, supposing and intending to guarantee and assure to persons and cn- title them to a prize, share of and interest in a prize to be drawn in a lottery for money, and sell certificates, bills, tok-ns and other devices, in a lottery for morey, and sell chances and shares of tickets in a lottery for money.” Thcee warrants were not prepared at the station house, and Mayor Thompson was the first city official,to see them. On re- ceiving explanations of the circumstances in the case and being assured that no slignt was intended to superior officers in the matter, Mayor Thompson put his sig- natcre to the warrants, which, in a few minutes thereafter, caused a sensation. Sergeant Smith immediately gave his men their orders and a simultaneous raid was made at 4:30 o'clock. The following important captures were made: Frank McLaren's place, 216 South Henry street, raided by Officers Knight and Ticer. Proprietor captured, H. L. Smith, Bryan Doran, Wm. Netherland and Moses Solo- mon captured as witnesses. In this build- ing were found hazard table, faro table, roulette table, poker chips, card tables and cards, and policy drawing: James Banks’ policy place, on Prine street rear Fairfax, by Officers Beach an Hall, captured James Banks, Ad Madella and Rcsson, writers; Chase, runner, and Whitney, witness. This is a branch of the Swamp, run by the Hills. Ed Green's, Henry street, between Cam- eron and Queen streets, policy joint, b Officers Bettis and Arrington. George Sow- mill, writer, captured. This is a branch. Nelson’s policy place, on West street, be- tween King and Prince, by Officers Proc- tor wnd Sherwood. Captured Thos. Nelson, mareger, and Ed Jamison, writer. Sergt. Smith reserved to himself the most important of these places. S50 with Officer Fergusson he raided John Donnelly’s place, in the alley between Lee and Union streets, and Walter Donnelly, with all his para- phernalia, was captured. Bernard Donnel- ly, who, it is said, was in the room as- sisting his brother, made his escape, and Walter was captured while trying to craw] into a barrel. That somebody played Sergt. Smith false even In the few minutes he had’ allowed himself to make the raid is evident from the fact that Hill's place, in the same alley as Donnelly’s, was closed up when the Cflicers arrived, though it is claimed that it had been running all day up to 3 p.m., and they had quietly received the “tip” from one of the “knowing Ones.” When Officers Young and Dean knocked at the door of this place they could not get in, and in- stead of forcing an entrance, as the others did, they reported their action at police headquarters. Sergt. Smith, who had ar- rived at the station house with his prison- ers, hastened to Hill's place and forced an entrance, but he was too late. The occu- pants had flown and taken with them the Paraphernalia, except a printing press with a chase containing the type set up for the day’s drawings. This was taken to the station house, and it is said Sergt. Smith has enough evidence to convict. The cell room at the station house pr sented the appearance of an “up-to-dat gambling house, except that the para- phernalia was not set up in running order. The following is a complete list of those under arrest: Walter Donnelly, Frank Mc- Laren, James Banks, Ed Green, John Nel- son, Adolphus Woodward, John Mills, Will- iam Payne, George Sourmill, Frank Parker, Robt. Foller, H. L. Smith, Frank Chase, “Ad” Madella, F. R. Ross, Bryan Doran, James Lee, Charles Whitney, Roda Wilson, Chas. Grady, Silas Madella, Wm. Nether- land, Thomas Nelson, Ed Jamieson, Bd Shock, Stephen Blue, Moses Solomon and Charles Parker. Walter Donnelly, Frank McLaren, Banks, Green and Nelson were released in $200 bond. All the others were released on $100, the mayor taking their personal bond. As Officers Bettis and Knight were walk- ing up King, near Royal street, they caught Adolphus Woodward, who is a Washington policy runner. On his person was found $68 and a number of policy slips and draw- ings. On his way to the police station he tried to rid himself of this evidence, but was detected, and the slips taken in charge, to be used when the cases come up for trial, Monday night. Despite the fact of the raids, at 4:30 o'clock the Donnelly policy shop put out its drawings yesterday afternoon, as usual. The drawings for the Donnelly place, which is known as the “Frankfort,” are said to take place in Lexington, Ky., the results being received by cipher telegrams at 1 and 6 o'clock p.m. each day. Sergeant Smith’s action is commended on all sides, and while it is hinted that it will cause his head to be cut off in the end, it is thought that the backing of those who are zealous in their support of law and order will prevent any such action being taken. The penalty for such offenses as running a policy shop under the code of Virginia is confinement for not more than one year in jail and a fine not exceeding $500. A Star reporter had a talk with Sergeant Smith this morning, and he said: “I have been working on this policy busi- ness for the past ten days, and I think that I have such a net of evidence against these iren that it will be impossible not to con- vict thei r When asked if he was not afraid lest his head might be cut off, he said that he was not, as he had the backing of some of the best men in the city. “Why did you make the raids?” then asked, and he replied: “Several ministers and responsible citi- zens came to me and made complaint, and asked me to assist them in breaking up this vice. I have about 200 names of wit- nesses In these cases who will appear be- fore the mayor on Monday night at the trial. I got the ministers to give me eight trustworthy young men from their congre- gations to assist in getting evidence, and. they will testify at the trial.” The Star reporter called on Rev. L. J. McDougle this morning, and found him very much elated over the raids of yesterday. Mr. McDougile said that he had sent out notices for a big meeting tonight at the M. E. Church to express approval of the ac- tion of Sergt. Smith. = An Investigation. It is said that Chief Webster and Lieut. Smith are very indignant over the state- ment in one of the morning papers at- tributed to Sergt. Smith, to the effect that he (Sergt. Smith) had endeavored to have warrants sworn out a few weeks ago, but had been unsuccessful, and they have ask- ed that an investigation of these charges be_had before the police commissioners. Things are red hot around police head- quarters, and further developments may be expected. ee = Right Rev.

CONDENSED LOCALS For leaving the Dupont Circle hack stand in order to solicit business, William Warner, John Wise end John Washington, drivers of public vehicles, were today fined $5 each by Judge Kimball in the Police Court. William White, a black youth, engaged in a stone battle yesterday with another bey in Duck alley, to the great peril of persons and property in that locality. Po- Beeman Harries succeeded in capturing Wlliam, and in the Police Court today he was fined $5 for throwing missiles. - Snow on the streets did nof present any more of a winter scene than the fruits and flowers in market this morning presented a scene *.hich would have done justice to the tropical climate. On the benches there were fruits and vegetables of every va- riety. Among the latest arrivals in the fruit market were some of the finest pine- apples ever received here from Florida and a few ouarts of strawberries. The former were bringing 50 and 60 cents each, while quart boxes of berries sold at $1 each. “Market business has experienced a great change during the past few yea: re- rked a local dealer this morning. “Years ago most of the business had been done by 8 o'clock in the morning, but now most of the buyers dcn’t reach the market before 10 o'clock.”” Mr. G. De Witt, who for many years was the successful manager of the Riggs House, is now at ine National as the personal rep- resentative of Proprietor Staples. Major Burton still retains the management of the Natfonal. The funeral services over the remains of the late Patrick A. Byrne were held yes- terday morning at St. Patrick’s Church. Solemn requiem mass was celebrated by Rev. Joseph F. McGee, assisted by Fathers Walter and Stafford. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Washingten Brick Company, held ye: terday, the following officers were chosen: President and general manager, Theodore J.. Holbroo! ice president, Anthony Pol- lok; secretary, William F. Mattingly; treas- urer, George H. B. White. There will be a practical demonstration of the first aids to the injured, under the auspices cf the King’s Daughters, at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, M street be- tween 15th ard 16th streets, next Wednes- day evening at 7 o'clock, by Dr. Daniel H. Williams, a corps of internes and nurses from the training school of Freedmen’s Hospital. Harry Dobbins, who has an office in the ‘Washington Loan and Trust Company's building, has asked the police to recover for him a Romzn bracelet set with three dia- monds. The bracelet, he thinks, was stolen trom him in an Eas: Washington saloon. This morning about 2 o'clock there was a slight fire in the house of Martha Brewer, No. 7 Vermont court. The flames were ex- tinguished by the police without turning in an alarm, and before much damage was done. “I got my feet wet in the snow last night and I took a few drinks to keep from get- ting sick,” remarked a well-dressed man to the clerk in a police station. The man had been locked up for drunkenness, and it Was not until he was aroused this morning that he was aware of the fact that he had spent the night on an iron benc! “I don't want anything more to drink,” he said. ’m a total abstainer after this. The police made thirty-four arrests yes- terday, only one woman being among the number. Liquor drinking had caused the arrest of eleven of the victims, and three of them were taken to court. Policeman George T. Gibbons yesterday had business within the residence of Wil- liam Epps. As he approached the doorway Wiliam announced in loud tones that if the policeman entered the house he would not @epart alive, or words to that effect. There- fore, William was arraigned today in the Police Court on a charge of threats. After hearing the testimony, Judge Miller dis- missed the man with a warning. The police have requested the pump doc- ter to call at the pumps in front of 1817 Lincoln avenue, in the county. People in that section depend upon this pump for drinking ter to a considerable extent, and they are anxious that the repairs should be made without delay. “Very dangerous” was the way in which Lieut. Swindelis described the condition of the north side of the P street bridge over Rock creek, in a report made to headquar- ters yesterday. A bro! board is what caused the danger. Mrs. Kate Edwards, who resides at 905 H street, has reported to the poltee the theft of @ pair of diamond earrings. They were stolen from her house since Tuesday. Several nights ago a stranger, presum- ably a tramp, called at the house of Dr. B. B. Adams and asked for some underwear to protect him from the cold. His request was granted, and now the doctor is mak- Ing inquiries for a pair of beaver gloves which diseppeared from the house «bout that time. About @-week ago an unknown white man hired a bicycle from Cahill & Co., No. 1700 Pennsylvania avenue. He said he wanted it for a few hours, but his time has not yet expired, for today the police were esked to Icok for the man and the bicycle. The next mecting of the Sons and Daugh- ters of Maine takes place at their hall cn 10th street tomorrow. Prof. Otis T. Mason of the Smithsonian Institution will deliver en address, entitled “Matne in 1496 and in 1896.” Police Lieut. T. B. Amiss is suffering an attack of the grip.
