New Date for the San Antonio Prise Contest At the suggestion of Capt. Edgar A. Shil- ling of the Morton Cadets, the manage- ment of the San Antonio interstate drill, announced to eccur in San Antonio, June 28 to July 5 next, has concluded to post- pene the drill, the new dates being July 17 to July 2, inclusive. Capt. Shilling was so informed today by wire. In making the stgeestion referred to, he explained that the clese proximity of the dates of the en- cainpment of the District National Guard and those set for the San Antonio compe- tition would render the attendance of any company from Washington difficult, if not impossible. The Morton Cadcts had intended to com- mence drilling for the championship con- test Wednesday next, but in view of the change of dates will nct knuckle dowa to active work until June 1. If the financial Obstacle can Be overcome, the Mortons wiil certainly fight in far-away Texas io retain the military championship. The National Fencibles, so said Captain Demer to a Star reporter today, will in all probability not participate in the Texas contest. The recent visit to New York, the comirg National Guard camp, and a visit to the Nashville centennial in the fall, is about all the company can properly bear on its shoulders this summer in the way of trips. ——___ Eltght-Hour Movement. President Samuel Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor has started on a tour of the state of New York in the in- terest of the organization of which he is the head, the especial object of the journey at this time being to lecture before trades union organizations on the advantages to be secured by the general observance of an eight-hour work day. During his ab- sence from the city Mr. Gompers will speak in a number of cities and towns on that topic. Reports received at the headquarters of the A. F. of L. show that the eight-hour movement is making as rapid progress as could reasonably be expected. Among those who have already indorsed the plan are the cigar makers, carriage makers, electrical workers, coopers, carpenters and joiners, boiler makers, bookbinders, brew- ers, Boot and Shoe Union, quarrymen, street railway employes, spinners, Seamen's Union, tailors, tobacco workers, textile workers, glass workers, stonecutters, horse- shoers, hatters, fron and steel workers, hotel and restaurant employes and many others, while the oniy prominent organi- zations which are still holding out are bricklayers, plumbers the various rail» way brothernoods, none cf which have as yet taken action either for or against the question, ——14 En‘ertainment for Mgr.

ERNI, 1329 12th = shard a The foregoing, which appearea under ea “Personal” head in the advertising columns of The Star, attracted widespread at ation and caused deep curiosity. It covered a stery, too, of no little interest, the sequel of which will be proceedings, prosecuted with unremitting vigor, in the Police Court. Mr. Gustav Adolph Erni of 1329 12th street, who inserted the “Personal,” is a member of a prominent family, his father for years being United States consul to an important diplomatic post in Europe. William E. Prall, jr., who ts accus shooting Mr Erni’s great Dane, “Ola: a first cousin of Mr. Erni. In his apart- ments last evening, with “Olaf” stretched on a mattress at his feet, the dog's neck Swathed in bandages and resting on a@ pillow, Mr. Erni related the occurrence to a Star reporter, the recital being pune- tured at intervals by piteous moazs from the animal, suffering from an alleged dan- gerous bullet wound. “It has been my custom,” said Mr. Erni, “to take Olaf oui each evening for exer- cise, usually going to the residence of my aunt on 16th street, adjoining the Hotel Arno. She is related also to Mr. Prail. My aunt owns a little white dog, and he and Olaf are the best of friends, and I have been in the habit of taking them out to- gether for a walk. Mr. Prall ts the pos- sessor of a mongrel bull terrier that at- tacks almost every dog and bicyclist that passes the hotel. Several times when I have called at the residence of my aunt this bull terrier has attempted to engage in a fight with Olaf, the latter being cne of the best-natured animals that ever lived, and I had to separate tnem. Sunday after- noon about 2 o'clock Olaf and the little white dog were playing in front of my aunt's house, when the buil terrier rushed out and seized Olaf by the throat. The little dog bit at the heels of the terrier, I was about to separate the dogs when I realized that when that was done the ter- rier would probably turn on the little fel- low and kill him. I therefore picked up the little dog, opened the front door and placed him inside the house. While my back was turned Mr. Prall, from a bal- cony fronting his apartment in the hovel, fired a parlor rifle, the ball taking effect in the neck of Olaf. Mr. Prail is an ex- pert marksman. When struck my dog acted as though insane. He finally fell to the ground and the terrier proceeded to mangle his throat. os. called a physician, had Olaf brought home and he is now under treatment of @ veterin. surgeon,” continued Mr. Erni. “It is extremely doubtful whether or not he will survive.” According to Mr. Erni, Mr. Malcolm G. Bruce of 917 16th street. saw somebody crawl out on the balcony of the hotel, move aside some potted plants, deliberately take aim and fire at Olaf. He will so tes- tify. Mr. Erni is a member of the Humane Society. Humane Officer Rabbitt, however, has taken the active steps in the matter, and in the Police Court today an information was filed charging that “on the 2d day of May Mr. Prall did cruelly torture and .or- ment and cruelly shoot a certain animal of the dog kind.” Mr. Prall is sick in bed and was unable to appear today. He posted $20 collateral, and hearing of the case was continued until next Wednesday. It is stated that he will also be charged with discharging a firearm in the street, and, furthermore, with keep- ing a dangerous and vicious dog. In the event that Mr. Prall should forfeit collat- eral, <s Mr. Erni fears he will do, the humane officers will have him brought into court on one of the other charges. Mr. Suit for Snle and Pa‘ Samuel D. Shipley and others, citizens of Carroll county, Md., have filed a bil! in equity here against John H.
