Davis, one of the pages’ in the House of Representatives, and released at the fifth precinct staticn 9n deposit of $5 col- lateral, did not appearin the Police Court for trial today, and the collateral was de- clared forfeited. ——- She Swam From Fucht to Yacht. From the New York Sun. Mrs. Jane Hayman of Bath and 20th ave- nues, Bath Beach, went in bathing yester- day afternoon, leaving her clothing and Jewelry in a bath house at the foot of Bay 2ist street. She entered the water about 3 o'clock, dressed in a blue serge swimming suit, and swam around among the yachts anchored off the beach visiting her friends. She spent the afternoon and evening in this way. About 10 o'clock she swam ashore, and on going to the bath house she found that it had been entered. Her clothing and jewel- ry had been stolen. She went, in her bath- ing suit, to the Bath Beach police station and notified Sergeant Frank. Then she walked to her home, five blocks away, along @ much-used and well-lighted street. 2. Steamship Arrivals. At New York, Umbria, from Liverpool; Latouraine. from Havre, DOUBT AS TO RESULT All Sorts of Rumors Floating About the San Antonio Camp. MORTONS FAVORITES IN BETTING Army Officers Seem to Think Wash- ington Boys Have Won. START FOR HOME TOMORROW Special From a Staff Correspondent. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 24.—This has been a day of worry and conjecture at Camp Culberson. The perplexing uncer- tainty will continue until tomorrow after- noon, when the judges, in making the award in the most remarkable interstate drill ever held, will finally straighten out things All sorts of rumors are circulating. A strong claim is made that the only correct interpretation of the drill program was by the Governor's Guard of Austin, Tex. This allegation appears rather ludicrous to sev- eral of the Washington party. Then, it is common talk that the Morton Cadets did not follow the interpretations of Lieut. French in their drill, the authority estab- lished by the management. I discussed the matter fully today with Capt. Shilling, and his confident statement was: “Had I studied the program for a week I would have then read it precisely as I cid on the field Thursday. To my mind, the Morton Cadets executed every number in strict ac- cordance with the drill regulations. The work of the company was magnificent, and it will be a very great surprise to me If we are not awarded first prize. However, an interstate drill is on the order of a lottery and the board of judges may upset calcu- lations by differing from the recognized authorities on tactical points open to doubt.” Mortons SUI Favorites in Betting. The Washington company this afternoon remained the favorite in the betting at even money,with the Governor's Guard sec- ond, at 3 to 2, and the Sealy Rifles third, at 2 to 1. Large sums have been wagered on the Mortons for first place, including a pool of $137, raised among the members of the company. The discouraging rumors have had an ef- fect on the boys and they are shaking in their shoes. Isut whether they win or lose, it is an established fact that so far as the drill proper is concerned, there is absolute- ly no comparison between the Morton Ca- dets and any other company that appeared on the field. If the Galveston cup is not returned to Washington next week, its ab- sence will be due to a mere technicalit ‘The Morton Cadets have represented the national capital in this unprecedentedly great contest in a most able and soldierly manner, and no matter what the result may be, Washingtonians certainly have no reason to feel other than proud of the en- terprising company. 1 x Protest Ignored. Prominent among the remarkable feat- ures of this drill are the protests. The complaint of Capt. Bean of Minnesota that Capt. Shilling witnessed the drills of other companies was yesterday returned by Gez Oppenheimer with the statement that had no authority to act. went to the judges. They prompuy re- fused to entertain the protest. It was this afternoon transmitted to the drill commit- tee ef the association management. No one is losing sleep over tie outcome. In the event that the Morton Cadets are awarded first prize, the people of San An- tonic, with whom the boys are immensely popular, will see to the res Capt. Bean, by his action, has by no means added io the standing of his company and himself Capt. Foye of the Thurstons has entered protest against the Sealy Rifles, claiming that the Seaiys should not be given credit for executing the manual of arms without the numbers. Capt. Foye takes the stand that the program was ambiguous, and that the Sealys interpreted it properly, only by taking advantage of the Thurstons’ alleged error. The Sealys, it is said, mean to protest the Mortons on the strength of a publica- Uon stating that fifteen National Fen-ibles are members of the team. The statement has afforded the Washington voys rare amusement. It has leaked out today that First Lieut Van Liew of the 2d Infantry, United State amy, the instructor of the Thurston Rifles, nas arranged to have published to- mcrrow morning in a local newspaper an anonymous intervicw, declaring, from the standpoint of an expert, that stacking with bayonets is incorrect, and that sev- eral other movements required by the drill program are not tactical. These protests and publications demon- strate piainly that certain organtsations are very nervous over the result of ihe drill. The Mortons, in marked contrast, act with calmness and dignity. In an individual ccmpetitive drill with 122 participants, late he The paper then yesterday afternoon, Corporal Gapen and Privates Buck and McCurdy stood fifth, sixth and seventh respectively. Members of the Thurston Rifles won first and sec- ond prize: The Mortons will give an exhibition drill this afternoon. The feature of the day will be a sham battle and a big crowd is al- ready on the grounds. Most of the time of the Washingion boys is devoted to sight-seeing. The prizes will be awarded about 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The Mortons leave a few hours later for home. Whether or not the Galveston cup and $2, 000 accompany them remains to be seen. F.C. a A Large Trananction. Capt. A. G. Taber, who since the death of Capt. Geo. E. Lemon, has been conduct- ing the pension business for the legatees of Capt. Lemon, yesterday, for the executors of the estate, and with the authority of the Orphans’ Court, sold to Messrs. Milo B. Stevens & Co. of this city the pension and miscellancous war claims business of the deceased. This 1s probably the largest similar transaction in the annals of the pension business, and consolidates under. one management cases approximating an aggregate of 100,000. The present head of the firm is Mr. Eugene E. Stevens, well known in local musical circles. Capt. Taber has now no further connection with Capt. Lemon's pension business, except as attorney for the executors, to see that the terms of the sale are carried out. —— Snatched a Pocketbook. Mrs. P. H. Heiskell, who lives at 2233 Q street northwest, had an unpleasant ex- perience in front of her home about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Her exper- fence also cost her about four dollars. She had just started out to go on a visit, and a well-dressed colored man, who happened = be on the sidewalk at the time, spoke to her. “Good evening,” was what he said, and Mrs. Heiskell, believing him to be some one who had been employed by her hus- band, bowed, and started to go, when sud- cenly the man seized the pocketbook which she carried in her hand and ran off. Com- plaint was made to the police about the theft, but it is doubtful if the rogue can be recognized if caught. —_>__. New Rules in Effect Tonight. The change in the detective office, here- tofore mentioned in The Star, will go into effect tonight. Lieutenant Amiss, being in charge of the first precinct, will be the offi- cer on duty tonight, and the other lieu- tenants will follow in turn. Each will as- sume charge of headquarters at 8 o'clock in the evening and be relieved at 6 o'clock in the morning. ——— Five Dollars for Expectorating. Robert Dangerfield, colored, was today fined’ $5, execution of ‘sentence suspended until Monday, by Judge Mills for spitting in a 7th street car last evening. This case was the second of the kind since the order of the Commissioners relative to spitting in public vehicles went into effect, s@me months ago. — ‘Want they bring answers...

Paxton’s farm on the Lough- Lorough road. The animal strayed or was stolen from the farm more than a week ago. Business in “Fishtown” is virtually at a standstill. Very few fresh waver fish are arriving, and most of the shipments of both fresh and salt fish come vy stean direct to the market dealers. ‘This 1 true of oysters. The bivalves om sale et the wharf are rot brought here on the or- dinary oyster boats. The police made fifty-three arrests y terday, twenty-nine of the victims being colored. An alarm was turned in about 3:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon from box 228 for a sup- posed fire at Pennsylvania avenue and 25th street. The alirm proved to be without foundation. There are twenty-five policemen and sixteen on the sick list. The reports of the police lieutenaats made to headquarters this morning show that there are five dangerous uoles in side- walks and two in the roadways, which need attention. These reports were referred to the street department. ‘The first cargo of watermelons to reach here on a boat arrived yesterlay afternoon. There were 6,500 of them, and, although they were not large, their qaality was raid to be good. ‘These melons “ame on a ves sel direct from North Carvlina, and tiey found ready sale. Reports of broken pumps contina> vo be made by the police. It is said the large num rv of such reports ts e 10 the fre- quent use of the pumps during tie hot weather. A number of complaints of broken hydrants are also deing received. The department was notified today of two broken pumps and two ¢isa! nts. leave Lieut. Swindells made complaint to the sewer department today of the condition of the sewer on O street, Georgetown, be- tween 25th street and Rock creek. About ten feet of the sewer has fallen im, and pveeds immediate attention. The top of the sewer trap in front of the pump at Virginia avenue and 3d street southeast has fallen in. The dangerous condition of this trap was reported today by Lieut. McCathran. The harness thieves who have been hav- ing such a good time robbing stables are still at large. Last night they visited John Coney’s premises in rear of 1002 Ist street southeast and carried off a set of Concord brass-mounted harness. F. B. Waters’ store, at Takoma, was en. tered last night by burglars, who secured 2. Report of the burglary has been made to the police. Two reports of stolen bicycles were made to police headquarters today. One of them, a solid-tire wheel, was stolen from John Preston, and Dimmick & Co. lost the other. A bicycle hired from their store was not returned. > Transfers of Real Extate. Tenth and H streets northwest.—W. S. McLeod to Juno. L.
