Gallagher, Becoming Despondent, Takes His Own Life. Way to Cabin John Bridge—Other West End News. Alfred E. Gallagher, aged twenty-elght, of 1221 New York avenve, committed sul- cide yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock at Cabin John bridge, Md., by taking an cverdoee of morphine. It was not known that the young man had committed the deed until a nearly empty bottle of the cplate was found protruding from his pock- et. No one had seen him swallow the drug, and when the truth became known he was too far gcne to be saved. The young man lived with his widowed mother, Mrs. A. Forward, and her sister, Mme. Marie Benteen. Visiting his home was a friend of his from Baltimore, Wal- ter C. Thomas, and the two young men were together a good deal of the time. It appears that both had been drinking, and young Gallagher was upbraided by his nother for his actions. This preyed upon his mind, especially as his friend was partly blamed for the state of affairs. Gallagher and Thomas left the house yesterday about 9 o'clock. In the af: roon they went out on the cars to visit Cabin John bridge. It was while on the cars that Gallagher took the fatal dose. When the car reached its destination he wes unconscious, and all attempts to rouse fim prcved ineffectual. His friend thought his condition was due to what he had drunk during the day. He was carried from the car, and then the morphine bottle was discovered. The news of his death was quckly con- veyed to his family. The sad news greatly affected his mother, but she hastened to the bridge to see her son. Undertaker peare also instracted to go out to the vace, and bring the remains in. In the meantime the county officials were notified of the event, and ‘Squire R. S. Davidson eld an inquest over the remains, Dr. W. S. Pratt assisting. A verdict of suicide was rendered, and a permit for the removal of the body to the city was given. According to the Statement of Mr. Thom- as, Gallagher told him several days ago that he had the blues, and intended to commit suicide, though ke thought the re- mark a joke. The bottle which contained the deadly drug bore the mark of Powers & Weightman, Philadelphia druggists. Residents Are Robbed.

She is {m Hilarious Mood and Goes Down to Sober Up. A most extraordinary incident was re- corded today in the Police Court. Johanna Quill was a prisoner in the dock, but that was nothing out of the ordinary. The striking feature of the case was the charge; It was not vagrancy, as was to be expected, but destroying private property. The information set forth that Johanna smashed a door and lock at the residence of Edward Shea, No. 832 Armory place. It was intimated that she threatened to blow up the entire neighborhood with dynamite. The queen of the vags was in a hilarious mood of exaggerated degree. “I want ter talk to Judge Kimball,” she shouted, waving her arms in a wild and reckless manner. “That woman is not in a condition to be tried now,” remarked the court. “Let the case go over until tomorrow.” Johanna was escorted to the rear, where she sang the melodies of the street until loaded into a van and sent down. ee PASTOR TRANSFERRED. Father Tearney of West Falls Church Becomes Vicar General. Rev. E. M. Tearney, for more than four years pastor of St. James’ Catholic Church, West Falls Church, Va., has been trans- ferred to Richmond, as vicar general of the diocese and rector of the cathedral. This announcement, made after service last Sunday, produced profound and heart- felt sorrow among the members of his con- gregation, to whom he has become indi- vidually endeared, not only because of his zealous priestly services among them, but because of his high qualities and attain- ments as a man and citizen. Not content with a merely general in- terest in his parishioners and his neighbor- hood, he has fulfilled all the duties of life with a singleness of purpose which could but leave a lasting impression for good. An upright Christian gentleman, he will honor the position to which he is called as such men always must when bidden to “come up higher.” —_—-_—_ $5.00 Excursions to the Seashore $5.00 via Pennsylvania Railroa On Fridays and Saturdays during July and August, tickets will be sold for 11 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. trains to Atlantic City, Cape May, Ocean City and Sea Isle City, good to return until the following Tuesday.

Bt Viol Government Notified That He ted a Contract—Possible Ref- erence to State Department. About the first of the month the Chi- uese legation will remove from the build- ing it has occupied at 14th and Yale streets, to the handsome residence owned by Mr. Frank Schneider, on the southeast corner of 18th and Q streets. The change, it is said, is due to a siight difference between Minister Wu Ting Fang and Mr. Cyrus Mantz, owner of the property in which the legetion is located at present, and who lives next door. In speaking of the matter Mr. Mantz said that on Minister Wu's arrival here two months ago arrangements were made for the continued occupation of the property by the legation for three years. Mr. Wu, Mr. Mantz asserts, positively promised to take the property for that space of time; although he declined to sign a lease bind. ing himself to pay the rent for the three years, the term usually served by a Chi- nese minister. Mr. Mantz says he spent a considerable sum of money in making expensive addi- tions to the property. ‘The minister, so he asserts, wished other furnishings, which, if his wants had been acceded to would have involved much greater expense, and he declined to furnish these, but tried to compromise with the minister. No com- Promise could be effected, and the minister concluded to leave. The Claim for Recompense. Mr. Mantz feels that he is entitled to some recomperse for the improvements made in expectation of the property be- ing occupied by the minister, and has made representations to that effect to the Chi- hese government through high Pekin offi- cials. He thinks he is entitled to the money spent in alterations, and to the amount of the rent for one year. The sum claimed is between $6,000 and $10,000. Fail- ing to get satisfaction at Pekin, Mr. Mantz will ask tne State Department to interest itself in his behalf. One of the members of the legation stated today to The Star reporter: “The minister made no promise whatever to the owner of the house. Before Mr. Yu left China he heard that the place was un- fit for the legation, one of the reasons be- ing given that it was too far out of town. The minister, however, determined to see for himself. He went to the Arlington when he arrived here, and was seen by Mr. Mantz in regard to the place. He simply moved into the house, paying a fixed sum for it each month, . Declared the House Unfit. “After the minister had moved in he found that the house was not only not fit for a legation, but not in condition for other occupancy. When it rained the wa- ter came down the walls and had to be caught in tubs. Mr. Mantz was told about this repeatedly and made many promises but never fulfilied them. Spoons “When the furmcr occupant moved awa: he took with him much of his own furni- ture, which left the rooms in rather a bare condition. The house was rented as a furnished one, and as it was not con- sidered well enough furnished other arti- cles were usked for, but were not sup- plicd. Mr. Wu had a friendly talk with Mr. Mantz. ? Talked as a Fricnd. “He told the latter, as a friend, that un- less what he wished done he would move out. He said that from a financial point of view it would be better to spend a thousand dollars or so and have a ten- ant than to have it vacant and remain so, as it probably would, for a number of months, which would cause a loss of more than two or three times that amount. Mr. Mantz was very angry when he learned that the place was to be vacated and threatened to appeal to the courts, He afterward apologized. Mrs. Mantz also came to the legation and tried her best to induce the minister to remain. “In regard to the large outlay of which Mr. Mantz speaks, there was very little.”” Rumor of Recall. There is a rumor that Minister Wu may be recalled for political reasons, and sent to Japan, a post which is below that of this country in rank. It is reported that Lee King Ye, chief clerk of foreign affairs un- der Li Hung Chang, will be his successor. At the Chinese legation it was stated that the rumor of the minister’s recall had reached there, but nothing official had been heard. The rumor, it was also asserted, was thought to be without foundation, as the minister was appointed but a few months ago, and {t would take something out of the ordinary to demand his recall. In regard to the appointment to Japan it was thought the present minister to Ger- many would be named, and that Mr. Ye would get the Berlin mission. — THE ONE-MILE LIMIT. Mr. Smith Will Make Mr. Yeager’s Application a Test Case. Mr. C. Maurice Smith, on behalf of a number of citizens residing near the Sol- diers’ Home, today asked the District Com- missioners te instruct the excise board to | place on file, with their decision in refect- ing the application for license to sell liquor of Lewis J. Yeager, that it was be- cause the house was within one mile of the Soldiers’ Home by “air line measure- ment.” Mr. Smith said it was the inten- tion of his client to make a test of the question as to whether the “one-mile in the law meant by the route usual- President Ross said he did not think that the board of Commissioners had any super- vising power over the excise board. Commissioner Black asked Mr. Smith if any appointment for a hearing by the Commissioners had been made by him, and upon being informed that there had not, said that he thought the question raised by Mr. Smith cught first to have been brought before Commistioner Wight, in whose department it was, and if his de-' c.sion was not sstisfactory to Mr. Smith and his clients, an appeal could be made to the board. President Ross suggested that Mr. Smith be allowed to make a statement of the matter, which was granted, and the latter did, and the board took the question under advisement. After the adjournment of the board Capt. Black, in talking with a Star reporter, said there was no disposition on his part to abridge the rights of any citizen, but he did net think the time of the board ougnt to be taken up with questions that could be settled by the Commissioner who had juris- diction in the case, but that when ‘this could not be done then he was will- ing to have all such matters brought to the attention of the board. —_———_—_ Work of the Patriots. ‘The closing event of patriotic work in the hereditary societies closed by a general convention of the united New England so- cieties at North Conway, N.

THE INFANTS Grand Jury Invettigating Charge Against Hospital for Foundlings. Residents in Ite Ne&ghborhood Allege That the Cryingief the Children Prevent» Rest at Night. The grand jurors, asthe result of a com- plaint made before them several days ago, are investigating ‘the Washington Hospital for Foundlings, for the purpose of Ge- termining whether the institution is a nul- sance. The hospital is located at No. 1751 15th etreet northwest, and several residents in the locality contend that the crying of the infants in the institution is an annoy- ance which should be in some way or other discontinued. Some of the residents, it is aid, claim that the little ones do not re- veive such care and attention as would make the alleged aunoyange impossible. The Charge Denied. The matron of the hospital, Mrs. R. B. Cate; Miss Lee, the head nurse, and Dr. Wellington and the board of directors in- sist that the children receive every care and attention, and deny that the cries of the infants can be prevented or that they amount to the annoyance claimed. Several witnesses, including Mr. Edward Dunkerly, whose residence stands in close proximity to the hospital, have been ex- amined by the grand jury, and Represen- tative Shuford of North Carolina, who also lives near the institution, is also said to have testified that the cries of the hildren amount to a great annoyance to him and other neighbors. There are said to be about fifty little ones in the hospital in care of the matron and ten nurses, and the neighbors contend that the institution should be located in the country, or in such a place in the city or suburbs as would prevent the annoyance of any one. Probable Results. While the grand jury has the power to condemn the hospital as a nuisance, in an indictment returned against those respon- sible for its maintenance, the officials of the district attorney's office do not anticl- pate such extreme action. They expect, in the event of the complaint being supported before the grand jury, that that body will make such recommendations as will result in the removal of the hospital or in the adoption of a change in the system for the care of the children. ‘To the Editor of The Byening Star: It Was with feelings of profound regret that I read in The Evening Star of yester- day its article headed “Disgraceful Chapter in the Career of the Rev. Gilbert F. Wil- Mams” and in this morning’s Post another seemingly from the same source with the caption “Minister's Guilt Established.” I am sure neither of these high-toned and honorably edited journals would ad- visedly do any man so great injustice, nor the Christian church so great a wrong as thése articles are calculated to do in this instance unless immediately corrected. Let me assure you, then, that the ‘“min- ister’s guill has not been “established” ror has the public any right or reason to assume that the standing committee of the dioc of Washimgeton “is satisfied of the pastor’s wrongdoing.” How can the mere accusation of an un- -d wrong properly styled a ‘dis- ful chapter” in any man’s career un- indeed we confound all distinction be- tween slander and established guilt? “Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not.escape calumny.’ What the standing committee may have done it is net consistent with their official duty nor with their honor to divulge any more than a grand juror might disclose what that inqutsitorial body may have done. I can hardly believe it possible that any member of this grand jury of the church has furntshed-the statements made in these articles. ‘This at least must.be seen and may be contidently asserted.. When calumny as- sails any minister of the church it be- comes important for the conservation of the interests of the church, of religion and morahty, that the standing committee should make inquiry, and if they find a charge clearly specified and supported by even so much as apparently prima facia though wholly exparte evidence, then to present the matter to the bishop. It were, however, impossible that they should “‘re- port to the bishop that the charges are true.” Any such report would be grossly beyond their jurisdiction. They have not heard nor been called upon to hear the ‘other side, They have not tried the case nor been authorized to sit in judgment. Would it not be best then that we sus- pend judgment—that we remember that most salutary as well as Christian rule of our civil law, that every ee is 40 eae ed to be Innocent antil prov guilty?

Value of Architectural Competition. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your editorial concerning the architec- ture of our public schools and the method of improving it In future buildings was certainly most timely. In nearly every architectural and engineering magazine one seés notices inviting compedtive de- signs for school houses, hospitals, libra- ries, bridges, etc., and the five structures resulting therefrom are silent witnesses to the wisdom of this method. One has but to glance at the noble steel arch spanning the Harlem river, New York city, and known as the Washington bridge, and re- member that the design (by the famous en- gineer, C. C. Schneider) was selected from a dozen or so designs to be ever after a champion of the system. In the last District appropriation bill is an item giving $2,000, with authority to the District Commissioners for them to obtain “by competition or otherwise” plans for a bridge across the Rock Creek valiey on the line of Connecticut avenue extended, our most important suburban avenue. ‘The intention of the framers was unquestionably to obtain a bridge of such architectural as well as ergineering worth as to render it suitable for the magnificent avenue, the noble valley (which will some day all be incorrorated in our park sys- tem, let us hope) and for the capital of this nation, so woefully deficient in decent bridges. Here is an excellent opportunity for the Commissioners t try what has been s0 eminently successful»elsewhere—to allow all the engineers soidesiring to present plans and estimates, Then when Con- Gress finally appropriates the money for building the briage, the plan declared the most worthy bya campeterft commission cau be distributed #0 the bridge com- panies for their bids. In this way plans with more architectupal merit than if a limited number @f brifige companies were asked to present«plans would probably be obtained, the oemramies relieved of the labor of making: plams with possibly no compensation, amd the engineers through- out the country» satisfied.

CHARGED WITH BRUTALITY Richard Craig Put on Trial for Mistreating His Daughter. The Child’s Body a Mass of Bruises— Placed in tke Care of Board of Guardians. A case of apparently gross cruelty, that was a vivid reminder of the records of the dark ages and the inquisition period, was brought to light today in the Police Court when Richard Craig, colored, was arraign- ed for assaulting his daughter, Mamie, a little girl about seven years of age. The child’s person was exhibited to the court and the reporters, and it presented a condition almost inconceivably frightful. The entire body of the little one was a solid mass of deep cuts, seams and welts, inflicted, it wes testified, by three switch each of the diameter of a man’s finger. “Who made you this way?” asked the court of Mamie. ly father,” was the answer. “Why did he do it?” the court next in- quired. “Because I forgot to give the dog some water,” replied Mamie. It was stated that the mother of the child is dead, and that she has a step- mcther. From the little girl's story, her father has been in the habit of maltreating her in a manner most brutal. He is well known in Anacostia, being in the employ of a prominent physician, and has always borne an excellent reputation. The arrest wes made by Policemen Rea- gan and Owens, who had the condition of the child brought to their attention. Sev- eral representatives of the board of chil- dren’s guardians took an active part in the proceedings. Defendarit Dentex. Craig, through his attérney, John Moss of Hillsdale, indignantly entered a plea of rot guilty, and demanded a jury trial. Amid the almost hysterical protestations of Mr. Moss Judge Kimball required Craig to furnish $300 bonds for his appearance or spend the time intervening till trial in jail. The bonds had not been supplied up to a late hour this afternoon. When the matter of the alleged assault had been disposed of a motion was made to turn over the child to the custody of the board of children’s guardians. The action was opposed and resisted by Moss with great vigor. “It has not been shown that the father is not a suitable person to have the care of the child,” shouted the attorney. “Does your honor mean to say parent cannot correct his offspring? the Bible say children,’ and. “You will rot find ‘Thrash your children’ anywhere in the Bible, Mr. Moss,” inter- rupted Judge Kimball.
