Policemen Arraigned for Spending oo Much Time at Lunch. Policemen Bean and Corby of-the sixth precinct were before the police trial board today, on complaint of Night Inspector Cross, It was charged that while on duty they entered a lunch room near North Cap- itol and H streets. Bean, it was charged, remained in the place five minutes, while his partner remained seven minutes longer. ‘They admitted their guilt, and made ex- planations. It was shown that a woman in the neighborhood had written a letter about the officers, and this caused the in- spector to watch them, According to the testimony of the officers, there is no pump on their beat, and the keeper of the lunch repm permits them to get water in hia, plags. On the night in question they had ag) of milk and a lunch, for which they.paid. Bean said he got the milk becquse je was feeling sick. There is no liquog sold,in the room. Corby said that he was in there on police business in addition Bis going in to get a light lunch, The_officers thought they had not done wrong. , 5; Health of the City.

THREE CANDIDATES FIGHTING Malster, Supplee and Marburg and Their Positions. PHASES OF THE FIGHT ee Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., July 6, 1807. Politicians of both parties are awaiting with interest the result of the trianguler fight which is being waged among the can- didates for the republican nomination for the mayoralty here, William T. Mal- ster, J. Frank Supplee and Theodore Marburg. The latter is Wellington's candidate, and whether or not “The Duke” will be able to nominate his man in spite of all opposition, for there is mucn against him, is sufficienf*to attract the at- tention of those who ordinarily. are careless concerning municipal affairs. . T. Malster. Mr. Malster is what may be termed the logical candidate of the party for mayor. For several years he has been brought to the notice of the voters of Baltimore and las had to give away on every occasicn but one. to another man. That lone time he received the nomination for mayor and was defeated by Ferdinand C. Latrobe by several thousand votes. He is president of the Columbian iron works, and points with pride to the fact that he is a self- made man. He has a large following in the city, but has never held a public post- tion. He was a dangerous candidate for the governorship against Lowndes in the primaries. He is a man physically of large proportions and has what his fololwers term “hard horse sense.” J. Frank Supplee. J. Frank Supplee has been before the Baltimore public for a number of years. The only office he ever held was that of councilman. He filled the place acceptably to his constituents, who think that he should go up higher, and preside at the city hall. He‘has been up for nomination several times as mayor, but has had to yield the palm hitherto to some more for- tunate man. In one instance this man was Malster, and Supplee gracefully yielded, throwing whatever streugth he possessed to the candidate. In a recent speech he asserted that if Malster was nominated he would be the first to take off his coat and fight for him. He added, however, that he thought, in view of past withdrawals, Mal- ster should retire for him, and give him an oppertunity. Col. Supplee, he having received the title from his connection with the National Guard, is a Baltimorean by birth, and is one of the leading business men of the city. He is interested in a large shirt factory, which was built up principally through his efforts, and is connected with other busi- ness enterprises of Baltimore. He resides on Eutaw place, and is considered well on the road to wealth. He is a fine-looking man of about forty-five years of age, is al- ways faultlessly dressed and of a most so- ciable disposition. He never neglects the chance to make a friend or pacify an ene- my. The business men are in favor of his nomination. Theodore Marburg. ‘Theodore Marburg is the “silk stocking” candidate for the nomination. He is a member of the firm of Marburg Brothers, tobacco manufacturers, and is credited with being immensely wealthy. Until Sen- ator Wellington brought him forward he was practically unknown in politics. Men now are going about asking one another the question: “Who is this man Marburg?” The answer to this almost invariably is: “All I know about him is that he is Wel- lington’s man.” That seems to cover the whole ground. Mr. Marburg has never been before the public in any shape or form. He has scarcely had an o| unity. He is tkirty-five years of age, his time has been spent in Paris, where his education was is he is a civil service reformer, and every- thing that he knows of politics and public questions has been gained from treatises on approachabl being charitable, and in no way allows his wealth to thrust itself be- whom he meets. He of the machine, ’ be brought into line for him, itis stated, will win hands down, _ lively between themselves when Mr. Mar- burg cast his luck into the political pot, a’ the suggestion of Wellington. While the pot had been simmering before, after this new accession it began boiling at a ter- rift rate, and has continued to grow warm- er and. warmér, as the time for the pri- maries approaches. At present there is great opposition to Mr. Marburg, and Senator Wellington knows it, realizes the reason and, it is as- serted, is corsiderably worried at the con- sequences. The truth of the matter is that the opposition is almost solely because the managers of the two other men and many of the voters consider that the senator wishes to make himself too much of a dictator. Efforts have been made, so far without effect, to reconcile the opposing factions and bring some sélution of the mayoralty problem. Chairman of the City Committee Stone recently called together a conference of prominent business men for the purpose of settling upon Mr. Marburg definitely. It was intended that a resolution should be offered indorsing Marburg for the place. The meeting was not a success by any manner of means, one of the men present going so far as to rise and denounce the whole business. The resolution was with- drawn, and, far from any good being ac- complished by the conference, the friends of the other two candidates claim that it was a victory for each, as it went clearly to prove the weakness of the Wellington candidate. Steering Committee. Undismayed by this Chairman Stone an- nounced that he would appoint a “steering committee” with three men from each ward. This, it was announced by the man- agers of the others, was intended simply to coerce everybody into falling in line for Marburg. Stone stated that the men to be appointed would not be all friendly to his man, but that those favorable to the other two would also be given places. It was thought his consideration was due to the fact that he did not wish to override Marburg’s opponents in too roughshod a manner. At the same time the Malster and Supplee men felt confident that a ma- jority of the ones appointed would be for Marburg. Rumors of a combine between the Mal- ster and Supplee factions have been set going lately. They are denied by both emphatically. Particularly is this the case with the Malster people. They state posi- tively that they have nothing to gain by such a deal. They have a majority of the 1epublican voters with them, they say, and such a thing is not necessary. Furthermore they declare that they will have nothing to do with any nomination save that of may- or, and that their man will go into the city hall without having fettered himself with any pledge whatsoever. The Malster people claim eight of the twenty-two members of the city commit- tee, and the Supplee partisans five, mak- ing thirteen in all. It was suggested that they combine and fight the Marburg forces, but it was found on investigation, so the Malster men say, that the claim’ of the Supplee people to five did not prove good. The Campaign. It is not known when the primaries and the city convestion will be held, which will be determined by a meeting of the elty committee. The chairman asserts this will take vlace some time the first of August. Bie organization, so the Malster and Sup- plee followers state, will put th mari Ae long as possible. “4 oa oe ctive work will be commenced three gandidates the present tls Marburg will make his first appearance be- fore the public, and he will be closely Watched to see how he acquits himself. Mass meetings by the Supplee and Malster supporters do not allow interest to die out in their behalf, while the new champion makes himself familiar with the ists. Mr. Malster’s Washington friends have in- terested themselves in his behalf, and will speak in his favor at the meetings. Col. Suprlee also is not without congressicnal aid, which has been evoked in his favor. _—_———>—_—_. HER REQUEST DENIED. Unable to Work, Mary Essex Sought an Almshouse Sentence. Mary Essex was in the Police Court to- day of her cwn volition. She accosted a Policeman yesterday and asked to be locked up. The guardian of the peace proved to be the possessor of an obliging disposition, and Mary, therefore, was duly ushered be- fore Judge Kimball. “I’m unable to work and I want to go to the almshouee,” stated the woman. “Why don’t you see the sanitary officer?” inquired the court. “I have seen him,” was the answer, “but he said he couldn’t do anything for me.” “If you choose to plead guilty to vag- rancy,” then said the court, “I’ll send y: to the workhous a, “I never begged in my life,” declared Mary, “so I can’t conscientiously admit that I'm a vag. “Very well,” remarked Judge Kimball. “Step out.” Mary reluctantly left the room, disappoint- ed that she was unsuccessful in her en- deavors to be sent down. ———e Epworth League Officers.

Mrs. Charlotte Illegard of No. 1617 I street northwest was slightly hurt in a collision between an electric car and a car of the Soldiers’ Home and Eckington Rail- way Company, in front of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station, last evening. There was considerable difference of opin- jon among those who witnessed the ac dent as to who was to blame, but the ma- jority agreed that the motorman was not running his car at a greater rate of speed than is permitted by the police regulations. ——— Officers Chosen.

About one hundred persons met last evening at the Second Baptist Church, on 3d street near H northwest, and formed a branch of tha National Negro Protective Association. After a speech by William A. Pledger of Georgia, these were elected offi- cers of the new organization: President, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D.; vice pres- ident, J. H. A. Schureman; secretary, C. M.
