A guard who asked her name undersicod the woman to reply that she was Mrs. Luetgert. In five ininutes the report that Mrs. Luetgert had returned and was in the Criminal Court building circulated throughout the big building. People poured cut of the court rooms and cffices. Deputy sheriffs rushed to the Michigan street entrance of the building, and great excitement prevailed for a few minutes.

Judge Vincent closed his address with these words: “Gentlemen, this prisoner has lost his fortune, his Mberty and his wife—will you now take away his life?” At this the crowded ccurt room broke into applause, which the bailiffs va‘nly tried to subdue. Judge Tuth‘ll, his face flushed with anger, stcod up and commanded the applause to cease. and as soon as he could be heard he ordered the court room cleared. Peinting directly at a woman, who sat in the front row of seats and who had been among the mosi vigorous in her approval ef Judge Vincent's peroration, he said: “There sits a lady who is present in this court room by courtesy. I vreught her here myself. She has abused my kindness, and, Mr. Bailiff, I desire that she should be removed from the room.” Soon after this incident court adjourned until Monday, when States Attorney Be- neen will close the case. —_——— LATHAN WINS FIRST GAME, Old World Racquet Champion Beats America’s Champion.

A. CONVENTION. tke ovtside public to keep posted as to al: the late developments. For this reason the views of Mr. John Cammack, as published in Thursday's Star, were the subject of considerable comment. A Star reporter happened to meet Mr. Edward J. Stellwagen, a director of the Capital Traction Company, who when spoken to about this interview with Mr. Cammack remarked that he regretted to find in the latter part of the article referred to the repetition of the rumor that Mr. Phillips was to be made president of the ‘Traction Company. “I cannot understand,” continued Mr. Stellwagen, “why such misstatements should continue to be made and published in regard to the relations existing between Mr. Phillips and the Capital Traciion Com- pany, when the exact facts, if not already known, are so easily obtainable. “AS every one is well aware who has taken the trouble to learn the truth abcut this matter, the management of the €ap- ital Traction Company has nothing to con- ceal in regard to the motives which led to securing the services of Mr. Phillips. When the company was confronted with the emergency caused by the destruction of its central power station it was found that a large amount of costly work had to be con- tracted for and completed with the greatest possible dispatch. It was realized that it was a time when all mere personal differ- erces should be set aside, if any existed, and the Interests of the company be made paramount. Why Mr. Phillips Was Invited. “The board of directors, realizing that Mr. Phillips, who is a smart, capable gen- tleman, as well as a large stockholder of the company, possessed from his recent ex- perience in installir g the electric system for the Metropolitan road general as well as technical information which would be of great servic to the Traction Company in equipping its lines, decided to invite Mr. Phillips to atterd one of its meetings. Mr. Phillips very kindly consented, and in the discussion at this meeting the suggestion was made that it would be most desirable to secure Mr. Phillips’ co-operation, and hence the corstruction committee, of which the New York stock market today, as re- rorted by Corson & Macartney, members New York stcck exchange.

Her husband not know- ing where to find her, and half frantic, mis- took the dead body of Mrs. Kleeman for his wife. The common expression today with refer- ence to the disaster last night is: “What good fertune it was that the house had so few people in it.” The chief interest now centers in the cause of the dreadful accident. From a careful examination it appears that not only was the construction faulty, but the work and material were defective. In a word, the timbers were rotten. —— HEARING WEDDERBURN’S CASE. 18; G." & C. Mec. THE NWN. Meeting of Local Committee Having Plans in Charge. A meeting of the local executive commit- tee of the National Educational Associa- tion was held this afternoon at the boant of trade rooms, 1410 G street, Chairman Blount presiding. The object of the meeting was to con- sider the special features to be provided for the coming convention to be held in Wash- ington, submitted to the committee by Secretary Irwin Shepard of the association. The first point considered was that re- garding a suitabie convention hall, with capacity of 5.000, with seating room on the stage for fifty, and adequate force of ushers. | Two of the additional guarantees asked for was that of 1.0%) membership in Wash- ington and places within the one hundred miies limit, where the reduction in rates would not affect the $2 membership fee. Admission to all places to be under rules and regulations provided by the executive committee, and badges furnished by the lccal committee must be approved by the exccutive committee. Especial stress was Jaid on the point of securing railroad rates as laid down by the committee in its visit William 5: i Continues the Pre- sentation of His Argument. The hearing in the case of Wedderburn & Co. was resumed before Assistant At- torney Gereral Tyner at 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Wm. Small continued his presentation of the case, which he had be- sun on the previous day. Before closing yesterday Gen. Tyner re- ferred to a letter which Messrs. Edson, Doolittle and Somes had written to the Postmaster General asking that he and the third assistant postmaster general at- tend the trial of Wedderburn & Co., and that the Pcstmaster General preside at the investigation. He also read a letter acdressed to him by the Postmaster Gen- eral in which the latter said as he had placed the matter in the hanis of Gen. Tyner he did not consider it necessary cr proper to comply with their request. Gen. Tyner then quietly remarked that he could not construe the action of Messzs, Edson, Doolittle and Somes, except that they did not care to have the case tried before him. “I want to say," he continued, “these gentlemen invited themselves here in the first instance, and I invited them to return.
