PRR 2s FE - | Representative McCormick Heard in Bebalf of Two Important Bills, Measuies to He Favorably Reported to the House—Other Matters of Local Interest. Representative McCormick of New York appeared before the House District com- mittee today in behalf of the pure food bill (House bill 9842). Gov. McCormick said this was one of two bills which he had introduced at the request of old friends in the District. He took an interest in local matters, he said, by reason of long residence in the District. He said there is a prevailing idea that a great deal of adulterated food, drink and drugs has ben sold in the District. Gov. McCormick commended the enact- ment of the law regulating the practice of medicine in the District. He said it would have the effect of driving quacks from the District. The pending bill had been recommended to him by some of the most prominent physicians of the city, who were certaizily acting a patriotic part in doing se, for if there was anything that would be good for the business of the physician it would be the use of impure foods and drugs Mr. Babcock remarked that he had been informeé by a physician that the analysis of a well-known beef extract showed that there were no nutritive or sustaining quali- ties in the beef extract at all, and that it was only a stimulant. Governor McCormick said he had intro- duced another bill regulating the sale of impure drugs and poisons. He hoped that both bills would be passed by Congress. There was no better place in the country to commence such regulation than in the District, and he hoped to see adequate reg- ulations for the inspection of foods and drugs. Dr. Harper made a brief statement in support of the anttpoison bill and the pharmacy biil. Mr. J. K. Redington, in behalf of the Ho- meopathic Pharmacy, advocated the phar- macy bill. He said there was no question of greater interest to the people than this matter of pure drugs and pure foods. He desired an amendment to House bill 9080 (known as the pharmacy bill), which would protect the Homeopathic Pharmacy from possible discrimination. At the request cf Representative Linton of Michigan, the House District committee today took up House bill 10108, to regulate the ‘s of fraternal societies in the Mr. nilip R. Walker, representing the fraternal congress, explained the merits of the bili. He said there is at present abso- no control of any insurance com- s in the District. The pending bill is designed to regulate the business of fra- ternal societies and associations and to require them to make annual reports. ‘The bill makes it obligatory upon the for- eign beneficial associations to file with the assessor of the District, as a prerequisite to the right to do business in the District, a certificate from the proper state authori- ties that the company is organized under the insurance laws of that state. The as- sessor is also made the attorney of the company for the purpose of serving pro- cess. Mr. Walker said the fraternal congress is composed of the supreme representatives of about forty fraternal orders. The con- giess represents a membership of three and one-half millions, who carry about three billions and twenty-six millions in- surance. Spectal legislation is asked for these companies, so that they may be kept Separate on the statute books from the three other classes of insurance companies, the level premium life companies, the open assessment business companies and the endowment companies. Mr. Milnes of the committee said he knew of a company now doing business in the District of Columbia which had been driven out of Michigan and out of Indiana. It was operating under the insurance laws of West Virginia, which, he said, were very loose. Mr. Milnes added that there were more than one such company in operation in the District. To Reduce Salaries. Senator Chandler was asked by a Star re- porter this morning whether he expected to press his amendment to the legislative. executive and judicial appropriation bill, providing that during the next three years the salaries of all government employes should be reduced 10 per cent. “I shall certainly do all in my power to press it,” he replied, “if I can secure a re- port on’ it from the committee to which it was referred. I simply introduce this amendment in crder that the several mil- lions of dollars wpich it would save the government might. be secured to bridge over a period of depression at a time when the government is running short in its ac- count Favorable Reports Ordered.

Swin- cells, Arthur Appler, who keeps a saloon at 3219 M street northwest, failed to expose his bar a total of thirty times last license year. For this reason, and upon the fur- ther report of the license inspector that the proprietor allowed dice throwing, the excise board rejected the license. This merning, upon the application of Attorney Simon Wolf, the excise board reopened the case. A brief was filed setting forth a gen- eral denial of the charges. Letters from a number of prominent business men and cit- izens were filed setting forth the good rep- utation of the applicant, and a number of witnesses called in person to bear testimony to the integrity of the man. =< = + eeeee. eoeee oeeseesooecnenss 3 Ayer’s Sarsapariila is : GooD 3 for oll diseases that have thelr - origin in impure blood.

Langston of the Color- ed Bar Association of the District, has called a meeting of the association for this afternoon to take action upon the nomina- tion of Mr. Henry E. Davis to be United States attorney for the District. The meeting will be held at 608% D street, and there is little doubt of Mr. Davis’ nomina- tion being heartily indorsed. President Langston, Mr. E. M. Hewlett, Mr. Thos. L. Jones. and other members of the association are supporting Mr. Davis. It has been reported that Mr. Davis’ nom- ination will be opposed by the dairy in- terests because of his prominent connection with violators here of the oleomargarine laws, as counsel for the accused men. But to a Star reporter Mr. Davis stated that if he is confirmed he will prosecute every in- dicted man to the full extent of the law. While he cannot, perhaps, personally en- gage in the prosecution of the men now under indictment, he will nevertheless see that they are vigorously prosecuted. An interesting question has arisen as to whether, in the event of Mr. Davis failing to be confirmed before Saturday, when Mr. Birney’s term expires, the court can ap- point the district attorney to act in the meantime. Section 768 of the Revised Statutes provides that attorneys of the United States shall be appointed for a term of four years, and that their commis- sions shall cease and expire at the expira- tien of four years from their respective dates. Mr. Birney was commissioned Feb- ruary 6, 1893, and his term will expire with Friday next. Provided Mr. Davis shall not then have been confirmed and commission- ed, the question is, can the court appoint some one to serve until he or some other person is commissioned? Section 793 of the Revised Statutes pro- vides that in case of a vacancy in the of- fice of the district attorney within any circuit, the circuit justice of such circuit may fill the same, and the person so ap- pointed shall serve until an appointment is made by the President, and the ap- pointee is duly qualified, and no longer. By section 760 of the Revised Statutes, re- lating to the District, it is provided that the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia shall possess the same powers and exercise the same jurisdiction as the cir- cult courts of the United States. And the fcilowing section provides that the justices of the District Supreme Court shall sever- ally possess the powers and exercise the jurisdiction possessed and exercised by the justices of the circuit courts of the United States. The chief justice of the District Supreme Ccvurt, it is claimed by some members of the local bar, is fully authorized and em- powered by these sections to appoint a dis- trict attorney for the District in the event of such a vacancy, while some members doubt it. While it is not, perhaps, gener- ally known, it is true, nevertheless, that with the expiration of Mr. Birney’s term of office the terms of his assistants expire. So, in the event of a vacancy in the office of district attorney, there will be, until the vacancy is filled, a complete deadlock in_the office, as much so as if the whole office force was wiped out of existence. Because cf the doubt existing as to the power of the District Supreme Court to make an appointment, it 1s believed that the Senate will speedily dispose of the nomination of Mr. Davis by either con- firming or rejecting him. There is a gen- eral belef among the members of the bar that he will be confirmed, although they expect the silver men to endeavor to de- feat him. —_——. Mr. Til Liquor Bill. The Senate committee on interstate com- merce today agreed Lo report Senator Till- man’s bjll giving states the same control over liquor imported from other states that they have over liquors manufactured within their own borders. Some amend- ments are recommended. One of these makes the bill apply to other than original packages as well as original packages. Another in words extends the control to all liquors “without regard to the manner of sale provided by the state or territory.” Another amendment exempts lquors in transit through the state. + Sale of Forfeited Opium. The House committee on ways and means today considered a bill recommend- ed by the commissioner of internal revenue to authorize the sale of forfeited opium to the highest bidders. Great quantities of opium have been seized by the revenue officials on the Pacifiec coast, and there is no authority under existing laws by which it can be sold. The committee decided to report the bill. a A Copyright Measure. The House committee on patents today ordered a report on a bill introduced by Mr. Fairchild of New York to prevent fraudu- lent use of the word “copyright.” The bill was asked for by publiekers, who represent that many uncopyrighted works are brought into the United States labeled “copyright- THE MATCH WAS BROKEN. A Libel Prosecution Growing Out of Mrs. Mayberry'n Letter. A large number of spectators in Judge Miller's branch of the Police Court were disappointed today when the édse“of crimi- nal libel preferred against | Mrs, Lizzie Mayberry of Anacostia by Miss Mollie V. Grimes of 493 Maryland avenue southwest was continued indefinitely. It is under- stood that the matter will be ‘dmicably set- tled out of court. : The case is one with interesting features. It seems that Miss Grimes, who is a laun- dress, was engaged to be matried to John Schweir, a young dairyman of Brookland, D. C., a brother of Mrs. Mayberry. A few days prior to the date set for the wedding Schweir received a communitation, signed Lizzie Mayberry, reflecting on Miss Grimes’ character, and telling Schweir never to gome to their house if he married her: Without loss of time the bridegroom-elect read the letter to the bridetelect, and a scramble for the epistle ensued. THe bride- elect was victorious and secured-possession of the badly damaged piece of paper. , As a result, Miss Grimes is no longer bride-elect, and Mr. Schweir cannot con- sistently be referred to as bridegroom- ¢lect. They, it is understood, no jonger Speak as they pass by. Miss Grimes con- sulted an attorney, and, acting on his ad- vice, secured a warrant for the arrest of wea Mayberry on a charge of criminal I civil suit for 4 threatened.

She is Brought Into Court on a Charge of Grand Larcen The troubles of Annie Netihaus, the young German woman who recently de- vastated the interfor of the residence of Mr. St. Clair Fechner, on D street, it seems, are not yet at an end. After lecturing the girl at some length Saturday last Judge Miller released her on her per- sonal bonds, it being understood that the Pawnbrokers who advanced money on the articles taken from Mr. Fechner’s house had been satisfied and that Mr. Fechner would also be reimbursed for his loss. The case took an unexpected turn today, Miss Neuhaus again being brought into cone Tosecuting Attorney Mullowney explain- ed to Judge Miller that Mr. Fechner had visited District Attorney Birney and asked that the girl be prosecuted for grand lar- ceny. He claimed that she had stolen from him two sealskin coats, valued at $400. One of the coats had been returned, cut into shreds. “I understand that the pawnbrokers have not been satisfied,” continued Mr. Mullow- ney, “and Mr. Fechner certainly has. not. I am aware of the disposition made of the case last Saturday by your honor, who thought that if the girl would reform it would be better to give her the chance. Mr. Fechner insisted on the issuance of the warrant, however, and, of course, it Was necessary to issue it.” “Miss Neuhaus means to settle with these parties,” stated Attorney Alexander Wolf, who appeared for the defendant. “When do you want a hearing?’ inquired the court. “Tomorrow,” answered Attorney Wolf. “The defendant will have to give $300 bonds for her appearance at that time,” ruled Judge Miller. Miss Neuhaus was detained in’ custody while her attorney departed in ‘an effort to sve the necessary reg} estate se- curity. Little Mildred Grimaby's Case. Judge Cole will Friday next, at 1:30, hear the habeas corpus proceedirigs instituted by John Sturgess and his wife, Ada C. M.

To Accept Medals. - ae ‘wae.paesed by the Senate this af~ ‘A bill ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Making War Now Upon ‘Illegal Liquor Selling. Conviction of Harry Simpson—A Pa- tient Gone to Take the Pas- teur Treatment. Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington St., Alexandria, Va., Feb. 3, 1897. Now that Alexandria has been tempo- rarily relleved of its flourishing policy busl- ness avid the promoters, runners and writ- ers are behind the bars, thé authorities ha®e turned their attention to the illegal liquor sellers and the gelling of liquor on Sunday. They seem determined to rid the city of fllegal liquor selling if possible, and they are on a fair way to success. Already some six or eight proprietors of speak- easies have been arrested, and more will follow as fast as sufficient evidence is ob- tained. Alonzo Travers, as stated In The Star, was fined $64 by Mayor Thompson Monday night for selling on Sunday and without a license, and went to jail for sixty days on refusing to pay the fine. Last night Richard Burnett and William Braw- ner were before Mayor Tompson, charged with selling liquor withcut a license, and the case was continued until tonight. ‘Bur- nett, it will be remembered, has been ar- rested and punished on this charge a num- her of times. Burnett keeps a place near the Stone bridge, and some time ago his license was revoked by Judge Norton of the corporation court for selling liquor on Sunday. Brawner als> has a place near the Stone brige and his license was taken from him for the same reason. Benj. Lucas and Frark Baltimore, who are the proprietors of negro eating houses across from the local depot, on Fayette street, are also under arrest for running speak-easies, and will be tried in the police ccurt next Monday night. In some instances what are known as “‘teer licenses” are issued, which only ai- low malt lquors to be sold, and on these licenses spirituous Mquors are sold on the quiet. Harry Simpson Convicted. The trial of Harry Simpson, a well- known young man of this city, recently indicted for grand larceny, occupied the attention of the corporation court all day yesterday. At 4:30 o'clock, after being out over two hours, the jury, with R. P. W. Garnett foreman, returned a verdict of guilty and placed the punishment at one year in the state penitentiary at Rich- mond. Young Simpson was represented by Messrs. Samuel G. Brent, Charles Bend- heim and Eugene B. Taylor, while Com- monwealth Attorney Leonard Marbury looked after the commonwealth’s end. It will be remembered that the night of September 22 last Simpson and a man named Joseph Ewald relieved John Ponder, an ex-policeman of Washington city, of the sum of $090 and hid the money in a number of empty gun shells in Simpson's room, where it was afterward found by Officer Ferguson. Both men were ar- rested at the time, but Ewald turned state’s evidence and was released, he ap- pearing yesterday as the principal wit- ness against Simpson. The counsel for the defense made a decided effort to im- peach the evidence of young Ewald, but without success. On the night of the rob- bery Ponder, Simpson and Ewald were all drinking and having a good time together at Daniel Henry's saloon, on North Fair- fax street. Simpson, in his defense, en- deavored to prove that Ponder had given him the money for safe keeping. A mo- ticn for a new trial was made, which was overruled. Exceptions were taken, and a stay of execution of thirty days allowed in order to allow time for an appeal. The Meeting Was Held. Despite the fact that some of the mem- bers of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club of this city deny that a committee was ap- pointed to wait on the Virginia senators to get them to oppose the nomination of Mr. H. E. Davis for district attorney, the meet- ing was held, and a committee was ap- pointed, and the resolutions referred to in The Star of last night were drawn up. Owing to the inclement weather yesterday, the committee was unable to go to Wash- ington, but will do so at an early date. The information in regard to the meeting was given out by a prominent member of the late Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club. A Patriotic Banquet. Belle Haven Council, Jr. O. U. A. M., has decided to give a banquet February 22, in henor of George Washington's birthday. The other councils of the order in this city and the Daughters of America have been invited to attend, as well as several promi- nent members of the order in other sections of the state. Several toasts will be offered and responded to. This order has a very large membership in this city, and is con- stantly growing. To Take Pasteur Treatment. L. E. Payne of Bailey’s Cross Roads went to New York yesterday afternoon to tuke the Pasteur treatment for a supposed mad dog bite. Mr. Payne was at his stable yesterday morning, when the dog, which had already bitten several cows, rushed at him and bit him in the ankle. Mr. Payne wes heavily clothed and the dog’s tooth peretrated the skin, bringing blood. He thought it wise to take no chances, so he went to New York for treatment at once. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the foliowing cases: Daniel Nelson, col- ored, charge, drunk in the street; fined $1.50, Charles Page, colored, charge, as- sault on his wife, Florence Page; continued until 7 o’clock tonight. John Mills, Doc Merris and Frank Cvok, charge, disorderly and fighting; Mills and Morris fined $3 and Cock dismissed. Notes. The lecture to have been delivered by Dr. Bedford Brown last night before R. E. Lee Camp was postponed on account of the inclement weether. The Junior Order of Grace Church will hold a “cracker tea” at the rectory tonight from 7 to 10 o'clock. The regular monthly meeting of the Hy- draulion steam fire engine company was held in the company’s rooms, on North Royal street, last night. Only routine bus- iness was transacted. it is said that Mr. James McWilliams will be a candidate for city council from the first ward at the coming spring elec- tion. Miss Courtney Norton of this city is the guest of Maj. Green Peyton at the Univer- sity of Virginia at Charlottesville. Yesterday being Candlemas day, services appropriate to the day were held in 8t. Mary's Catholic Church. Mr. Harry Rothschild and Miss Fannie Schwartz will be married in this city this evening. —— He Was Begging. John Williams was begging last evening from pedestrians on Pennsylvania avenue, and thereby gave Policeman Estes sufficient cause to place him under arrest. “Why were you beggirg?” asked Judge Kimball of Willtams, after the latter had been arraigned in the Police Court today as a ve egrant. ‘I wanted to get a night’s lodging.” “Why did you not bsg for shelter at the municipal lodging hc use? Ef apents thie nights there and they wouldn’t take me any longer.” “Oh, you did. Thirty days. —$ The Judgment Affirmed. | The Court of Appeals has affirmed the judgment of the court below in the case of Samuel K. Dashiell against the Washington Market Company.

Evans says is true, a police investigation will follow some of the charges he made this morning before the excise board concerning Officer Steward of Lieut. McCathran’s precinct. The liquor licerse of Evans, who keeps a bar room at 118 M street southeast, has been held up by the excise board. The re- pert of the Heuter ant of police is unfavora- ble, setting forth suspicions of violating the Stnday law. This report was supplemented by a verbal report frcm several officers on the beat, which were derogatory to the ap- plicant. Mr. Evans appeared before the ex- cise board this morning with Attorney Madigan, and declared that there was an organized effort on the part of Officers Steward and Owens to ruin him, because of a personal difficulty they had had. Pressed for further reasons, he sald that he had ceased to give liquor to the officers and refused to lend them money.
