The installation of Judge Scott as one of the judges of the Police Court today was devoid of ceremony. It was 10:40 o'clock when his honor reached the building. His arrival was announced to those who had been waiting in the court room for nearly two hours by. Bailiff Kendig, who, rapping for quiet, called— “Silence! Hats off.” As a compliment to the newly appointed jurist, the attorneys, policemen and offi- cers of the court arose and remained standing as Judge Scott entered from the apartment that is to be his private room and mounted the bench. The judge bowed in acknowledgment of the courtesy, and a bailiff proceeded to formally open court in the customary manner? “Oh, yez; oh, yez; oh, yez; all persons having business before the honorable jus- tice of the Police Court of the District ef Columbia draw nigh and give your atten- tion. The court is now in session.” Judge Scott stated that his delay in reaching court had been unavoidable, and then said: “I have been assigned to hold this branch of the court until the 10th of next January, when the term of Judge Kimball will ex- pire. Whether or not I shall continue in this court or the United States branch after that date will depend on an agreement be- tween myself and the judge whose term will begin then.” Before beginning the business of the day Judge Scott sent for the prosecuting at- torney. “I desired to see your smiting face and exchange greetings before proceeding, Mr. Pugh,” he said, and the prosecuting at- torney responded with equal cordiality. Formality Complied With. Judge Scott had presented his commission to Clerk John R. Young of the District Su- preme Court at 10 a’clock this morning, and a few minutes later he appeared before Judge Bradley in Criminal Court No. 2 for the purpose of taking the oath or oaths of office. Judge Bradley suspended the proceedings in court, and, standing with uplifted right hand before him, Judge Scott swore, first, to support the Constitution of the United States and then to faithfully and impar- tially perform the duties of the office of judge of the Police Court and administer justice equally between the rich and the poor alike. Judge Bradley extended his congratula- tions, and then for several minutes the new Police Court judge was the center of quite a large group of friends, including many members of the bar, who pressed forward to congratulate him. Greeted by Full House. A full house greeted the new official upon his first appearance as regular judge. The dock was crowded with all sorts and con- ditions of humanity, and it seemed that more than twice the usual quota of uni- formed policemen were in attendance. The space inside the rail reserved for attorneys was completely occupied, while spectators held possession of all the other chairs and of the available standing room. Out in the hallway a large party was very much in evidence, Policeman Michael Joseph Flynn having troubles of his own. Policeman Flynn prides himself on main- taining apple-pie order, in the hallway; so he was not at all pleased with the presence of a seemingly endless and surging throng of persons, all endeavoring to gain admit- tance to the sanctum where Judge Scott was to dispense justice. At intervals the resonant tones of Flynn’s voice could be heard ordering: “Open up a passage, there!” and “If you have no business with the court, move on!” At one time an influx of newcomers caused a serious state of affairs in the hall- way. “Move back, there; move back!” shouted Officer Flynn, pushing aside a meek-looking colored woman. “There’s no room inside for any more.” “But I'm a prisoner,” quietly explaine® the woman. “What's that?” inquired Flynn in sur- prise. ‘‘You’re a prisoner? Well, then, you're the loosest prisoner I ever saw.” “Loosest Prisoner” Admitted. The woman was admitted, but the others fled to the sidewalk before the command- ing presence of the respected guardian of the hallway. Ever and anon during the remainder of the day the dulcet tones of Flynn fioated through the doorway, bear- ing the admonition: “Keep a right dress there at the door, gentlemen, please; keep a right dress ac- cording to the new tactics.” The first prisoner who faced his honor was lucky enough to secure dismissal. His name fm full is William Shakespeare Pugh, and he acted as though he was proud of it. He was more proud, however, when, after hearing the case, the court, upon the recommendation of Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, ordered his release from custody. He was accused of disorderly conduct and of talking back when reproved by an officer. —__>—_—_ WATER METERS. © Phone 1636. lt STORE CLOSED All this week to take inventory pre- vious to auction sale, November 15.

Special Meeting of Musicians — The Bakers’ Organization. The Musicians’ Protective Union, No. 41, which is allied with the American Federa- tion of Musicians, held a special meeting yesterday morning at Arion Hall and de- cided to reorganize and invite the co-opera- tion of those musicians who are opposed to the competition of government bands and the employment of non-resident musicians. A committee was appdinted to bring the matter to the attention of the resident civilian musicians and urge them to join the union. Several weeks ago, as the result of propo- sitions from dissatisfied members of Mu- sical Assembly, 4308, K. of L., and other musicians not organized, an effort was made to surrender the charter and effect a reorganization, composed wholly of resi- dent civilian musicians. At the meeting yesterday it was unanimously decided to retain the charter, and the endeavor will be to increase the membership of the union, Mr. George Nachman, first vice president of the American Federation of Musiciani and Mr. Jason Dunham, president of Balt more Local, No. 40, were present and de- livered addresses. They advised the local musicians to forget all differences and come together in opposition to the compe- tition of the Marine Band. It was decided to hold an open meeting of the musicians without regard to their local affiliations, at which an effort will be made to combine all the efficient musicians to protect and further their local interests. The meeting will be held this week, and President Samuel Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and others who ure interested, will be invited to speak. The relations existing between Bakers’ Assembly, 2389, K. of L., and Bakers’ and Confestioners’ Union, 118, are somewhat strained, and it is said an open rupture is possible in the near future. At a joint meeting of these organizations, held last Saturday evening, the assembly demanded that the union surrender its charter and be merged with their organization. It is understood the agsembly has assumed this attitude in support of the bakers’ drivers, who oppose the recently organized Driver: Union. The bakers and drivers are clo: allies, and by the terms of their organiz: tions they are pledged to mutual support in all trade matters, even to the extent of a strike. : The members of the Bakers’ Union who ware present at the meeting Saturday even- ing refused to disband, as demanded by the assembly, and the possible result is that the drivers will be prohibited from de- fivering bread of those bakers employing members of the union. Speaking of the situation, a prominent member of the union said: “The attitude of the assembly, if main- tained, will cause troubie, which may in- volve many of the bakeries, as the ultima- tum submitted to us means that, so far as the assembly of bakers and drivers is con- cerned, they will not recognize the union as a legitimate organization, and will com- bine to force us out of the shops in which we are employed. “The drivers have never been favorably disposed toward us, and in many instances have covertly worked to our injury. In this they were encouraged by the bakers’ assembly, which has always opposed the union and has made several efforts to dis rupt it. “We will maintain our organization and defend ourselves, as we have in the past. While we desire peaceable trade relations with the assembly of bakers and drivers, Wwe will not consent to leave our national organization and join the Knights of La- bor. “This being our position, it remains to be seen whether the drivers will refuse to de- liver our bread and thus virtually boycott the product of the union bakers.” —_+—_—_. JUVENILE TEMPLE WORKERS. Britton Writes to the Commis- sioners on the Subject. Commissioner Black has received the fol- lowing letter from Mr. A. T. Britton: “I am very heartily with you in the mat- ter of water meters. It is not a new idea with me. I believe that I was the first man to voluntarily put in water meters in an office building in this city, to wit, the At- lantic building. The meters then cost us ber tween two and three hundred dollars, and we had to put them in at our own cost. I have always thought that the system of charging residential property by the front foot and number of steries, and of charging office buildings so much per room and per horse power and per elevator, was unjust and arbitrary in the extreme. In office buildings the closets are usually concen- trated in a limited space in a direct up-and- down line, and there is no water, as a rule, in any of the office rooms. In residences water {is in the yard, in the kitchen, in the bath rooms, and often in stationary stands = the bed rooms, and the waste is exces- sive. - “All of these cumbrous and illogical meth- ods of taxation should be swept aside, and the payment for water should be based en- tirely upon the amount used.” ——_ : GRABBED FOR A PURSE. Mr. Two Temples Resume and Choose Officers for Ensuing Term.

While in many instances prices are even lower than trashy mer- chandise can be bought for elsewhere—the _ store’s principles of quality and dependability haven't swerved one hairsbreadth from the path of satisfaction. The noticeably lower prices come from ad- vantageous buying in large quantities—eloquent evidence of our ability to place before you such values as no other merchant in this city can begin to meet on an equal footing.

Accosted by Un- known White Man. Miss Clara Baum, a young woman who lives on C street northwest between 4% and 6th street, and who is employed in the Tol- man laundry, was assaulted by an un- known white man about 8 o'clock last night, while she was passing through the park near Maine avenue and 6th street. - The young woman. left home shortly af- ter 7:30 o'clock for the purpose of vistting a sick friend in South Washington. She walked down 6th street, and then started through the mall. When only about twen- ty feet from 6th street she was accosted by the man with insulting language. Miss Baum indignantly repelled the advances, but this did not have the desired effect. The man grabbed her by the shoulder and attempted to drag her away from the vi- cinity of the street. Her cape and hat fell to the ground during the struggle. Miss Baum summoned strength and cour- age and dealt the brute a stunning blow in the face. At this juncture a pedestrian ap- proached and frightened the assasilant away. Miss Baum called for assistance, and later the police were notified of what had happened. Detectives Boyd and Weedon were sent out to investigate the case. They saw Miss Baum, who had not yet recovered from her fright, and learned from her the story.

Tibbetts. The speaker ap- plied the doctrine of evolution to the de- velopment of religious beliefs, traced the rise of myths and idolatrous worship from savagery to barbaric, and even civilized, man, and considered the similarities of doc- trines and religious practices in various countries and among various classes of people. Image worship, sacrifice—human as well as animal—the use of the lingam, bap- tism by fire and varicus rites and doctrines, were among the themes considered. The paper was discussed by General Bir- ney, Mr. Pechin, Mr. Burr, Mr. Steiner, Mr. Roys, Mrs. Dr. Morrison, by the president of the league and others. Next Sunday af- terncon the prelude will be given by Mrs. Dr. Morrison, and an address, on “The De-~ velopment of Altruism,” by Prof. W. J. Mc- Gee of the bureau of ethnology.

That the Secular League of Washing- ton*has for its chief purposes the promo- tion of right living and high thinking; the protection of the rights of conscience and the maintenance of a total separation be- tween religion and the government. 2. That we welcome to our weekly meet- ings all persons of all creeds whatsoever, and that we invite to membership, withoat regard to sectarian affiliations, all persons who believe in the absolute separation of church and state. 3. That we sympathize with the Metho- dists in their present efforts to prevent the establishment of a state church in Utah—a measure which would result in religious persecution. k “ : ; f i E [ 5 i iit
