Prosecutor Pugh Summoned as a Wit- ness—Testimony Concluded and Cane Under Advinement. The proceedings before the police trial board in the case of Policeman J. A. Du- vall of the bicycle squad were conclude: this morning, and the matter ts under ad- visement. At yesterday's session, Paymaster H. H Darneilie of the District service, who made the complaint, related his side of the af- fair, and told of the officer's use of the words "and “h—.” ‘This, it was charg- ed, was to the chagrin and embarrassment of the paymaster, as well as to the dis- credit of the police force. He was exam- ined by Attorney O'Neill, who appeared for the officer, and was closely questioned con- cerning the alleged transgression. The trial could not be finished yester- Attorney Pugh, in whose office at the Police Court the alleged embarrassing Jan- guage was reported to have been used. Mr. Pugh wus not in a hurry to respond, this morning, but when he did appear he succeeded in affording some amusement to the members of the board and the spec- tators. Prosecutor Unnerved. “This very august body is enough to un- nerve any man,” was what the prosecutor said when some one complained of his tar- diness. He explained that brother accused charge was nolle pros: i employment with the electric light com- pany. Being employed in this way, Mr Pugh said, he thougnt he should be p mitted to ride a little faster than the or- nary cyclist. ‘There was no reflection cast on the officer by the action taken in the case. Mr. used w when Mr. Darneille’s of scorching the “d because of his remembered that the officer “d—"" but he said there displayed on both sid He considered that the officer's remark were directed toward himself more than they were toward Mr. Darneille. “Was the language of the officer harsii d violent?’ Capt. Austin inquired. “It might have been harsh, but not vio- lent.” was Mr. Pugh’s response, “but its a common expression, and nearly everyb dy uses it. But 1 don’t curse myself,” he has- tened Co explain. “Little things like this happen almost every day,” he added, “and I paid no at- tention to it. If I took offense at such words, I'd be in hot water all the time and would be before the trial board every week.” Admitted the Difference. “That's all right, coming from a friend,” said Mr. Darneille, “but when it comes fiom a stranger, it’s a different matter.” Mr> Pugh admitted that there was a dif- ference. Upon cross-examination, the witness said that Auditor Petty and Mr. Darneille had talked to him avout the case yesterday. Mr. Pugh said the use of the language had not offended him. Lieut. Heffner asked use of the word "d—” lation of law. “It is not a violation of law to say ‘d—" under Judge Kimball's ruling,” was his answer. "Is the judge’s ruling right?” “I'm too good @ prosecutor to disagree with the court,” was Mr. Pugh’s answer.

Action by Taken at a The story in The mary act tar telling of the sum- on taken in the case of Miss Eva Pitts, a well-known teacher at High School, has created the greates among many people, and ac: planned to secure @ reinstatement for the teacher. The graduates and many represer of the alumni of the Central met in Convention Hall y and adopted the followin Whereas Miss I the ives High School | erday morning resolutions M. Pitts, after eleven years of faithful service im the Central High School of this city, has been sum- marily dismissed without a hearing from the public service as a consequence of the performance of her moral duty, therefore be it resolved, That we, the graduates and alumni of the Central High School of Washington, D. C., do extend to her our hearty sympathy and the assurance of our | esteem and warm affection. Resolved. sultable committee be appointed to represent us in all matters looking to her reinstatement, and of resolved, That copies these resolutions be transmitted — by id committee to Miss Pitts, to the Com- missioners of the District of Columbla, to the honorable school board, to the princ cipal, the vice principals and the teachers of the Washington High Schools and to the 1 newspapers of this city.” The committee appointed under this res- olution today made the following state- ment: “The circumstances were as follows: A pupil in the study hall of which Miss Pitts had charge was habitually troublesome, and had been several times openly dis obedient and impudent, evidently in ine bellef that he could not be punished, as it was the last quarter of his last vear in the school. Miss Pitts went to the principal to ask his support in the only method of com- | pelling obedience that remained to her, that of sending the boy to the matinee {tor conduct and compelling his attendance Ly threatening to w'thhold his diploma in-case he should not obey. She did not receive assurance that the principal woul sup- port her in this course, and as she thought that it was not in accordance with her dign come into contact with from whom she could not exact the respect and obedicnce which he would not grant, she refused te take charge of the study hail until he should have been removed from it. No further request, such as sus- pension or expulsion from the school, was made. The boy was not removed from the reom, and Miss Pitts did not take charge of the study hall; whereupon she was missed, without a hearing of her case or iuvestigation into the justification tor her action. — NAVAL OFFIC UNIFORMS. The Rank of the Wearer to Be Made More Distinguishable, An order has been prepared at the Navy Department preseribing a number of } changes in the uniforms of officers so as to make the rank of the wearer more dis‘inc- tive. Hereafter officers of and above the grade of commancer will wear gold em- broidery on their cap visors. A change has also been mace in the blouses, which are worn by officers about nine-tenths of the time. Each officer's rank will be indicated by the same insignia on the sleeves of his full blouse as he wears on the sleeves of his full dress uniform. There will be no change in the collar. Heretofore the blouse has borne only black braid on the sleeves, and against the deep blue cloth the braid has not offered enough of a contrast to make it possible to distinguish an officer's rank twenty yards away. Gold lace will take the place of the braid. The line officers will wear the goli star and the staff officers will wear the usual distinguishing colors as a background for the lace. On overcoats the sleeve insignia of braid will remain, but shoulder straps will be worn, and they will also be attached to white coats. Officers wearing their over- coats ashore when not on duty will be per- mitted to unhook thelr shoulder straps. They will then appear, as now, to have Sai overcoats ornamented with black Take good care of the hair of the head, and when it begins to loosen and fall off turn pi Hall's Hair Renewer, and the result will be pleas. ing. | given by | Street and as An Earthgq gorssoess : uake In Values at MAYER? ros.= Co seasonable goods selling at sen sational sacrifices. for Waists that sold from g8e. to St25 * The sizes are slight Iv broken, but it makes as fine an assortment you'll find in town. ‘97 styles ex clusively, That's only one valve fre iy ws We've te too great theme peters $4 and $5 Silk Waists, $2.98.
