COMPANY AND BATTALION DRILLS a Property Issues Hereafter to Be Through Bat. Quartermasters. A FIFTH BATTALION INCIDENT The assembly and review of the ist Regi- ment in Convention Hall Monday evening will be a ceremony well worth witnessing. The regiment will appear in full dress uni- form, and is ordered to assemble at 8:15 o'clock. There will be a concert by the Na- tional Guard Band, however, beginning at 7:30 o'clock, and continuing until line is formed for the review at 8:30 o'clock. The regiment will be reviewed by the com- manding general and staff. After the cere- mony of review and the marching in review there will be an exhibition drill by Com- pany C, 2d Battalion, under command of Capt. Charles S. Domer, and a battalion drill by the 1st Battalion, under command of Maj. Burton R. Ross. In addition to the brigade band, music will be furnished by the Mount Pleasant Field Band. The ceremony is expected to attract a large throng of spectators. It will be the first assembly of the Ist Regiment for some time past, and the first occasion on which the entire command will have appeared in full dress uniform. Work for Battalion Quartermasters. Although the matter has not yet been finally and officially determined, it is prac- tically a certainty that hereafter battalion quartermasters will not be mere orna- ments, but will have sufficient duties as- signed them to keep them busy. The new plan originated with Major H. H. Par- menter, recently appointed quartermaster general, and has received the approval of all officers to whom the general idea has been made known. Major Parmenter intends that each bat- talion quartermaster shall be responsible for all government property issued to his battalion. Instead of keeping separate and distinct accounts with each company commander for the property issued for the use of each company, accounts hereafter will be kept only with battalion quarter- masters. The latter will deal direct with the company commanders. The advantages of this plan are said to be many. In the first place it will relieve company commanders of a great deal of work and allow them more time to devote to drill, and will also lessen the work at headquarters wonderfully. Instead of keeping two accounts—one for quartermas- ter and the other for ordnance property— with every company commander in the brigade, headquarters will merely have to examine the accounts of six battalion quar- termasters. Under the proposed plan when a com- pany commander makes requisition for any article the paper will be referred to the battalion quartermaster. If the latter has the articles called for on hand he will is- sue them to the company commander. If not, they will be supplied by the quarter- master general or the chief of ordnance, as the case may be, and charged to the battalion quartermaster, who will take a memorandum receipt therefor from the company commander. To Supervine the Work. The regimental quartermasters are to supervise the acts of the battalion quar- termasters and compary- commanders. Once every two or three months the regi- mental quartermasters will examine the accounts of their subordinates and of the’ company commanders. If any articles are missing the boards of survey will be ap- pointed without delay to look into the matter. By this means it is hoped to keep property accounts straight and do away with shortages, which in some instances have existed for years. It is not known how the battalion quar- termasters regard this proposed plan that means additional duties thrust upon them, but it is believed that the majority now kolding commissions will be pleased with the idea. If not it is stated that desirable men are available who are anxious to step in and fulfill the duties of the of- fice. First Lieutenant Sydney R. Jacobs, ad- jutant of the 4th Battalion, has been ap- pointed by Colonel Urell quartermaster of the 2d Regiment, with the rank of cap- tain. The selection meets with approval on af sides, the consensus being that the right man has been found to succee§ Cap- tain Parmenter. As heretofore stated in The Star, Sergeant Major Charles G. Swi- gart of the 5th Battalion will be appointed quartermaster of that battalion, with the | rank of first lieutenant, to succeed Lieu-’ tenant Myers, resigned. Maj. Simonson and Lieut. Mattingly. Major Otto G. Simonson, 5th Battalion, and First Lieutenant F. Carroll Mattingly, Company D, 5th Battalion, figured in a lt- tle incident during the past week that has been the subject of widespread gossip about the armory. It seems that for reasons best known to himself Major Simonson sum- moned Lieutenant Mattingly to 5th Bat- talion headquarters and requested the lieu- tenant to tender his resignation, the major adding that the sooner such action was taken the better he would be pleased. Lieutenant Mattingly, it is said, peremp- torily and emphatically declined to tender his resignation as requested. Major Si- monson thereupon directed his adjutant to issue a battalion order relieving Lieutenant Mattingly from duty for the period of thir- ty days. The major assumed the additional responsibility of notifying Lieutenant Mat- tingly that orders would be issued at the expiration of thirty, sixty and ninety days, and so on, as might be necessary, con- tinuing to relieve the lieutenant from duty. It would seem that if Lieutenant Mat- tingly sees fit_to retain his commission he will be an officer of the National Guard without duty or authority. It is not known what the future course may be, nor is it thoroughly understood why Major Simonson demanded his resignation. Athletic Association Election, The annual election of officers of the Athletic Association of the District Na- tional Guard will be held the second Mon- day in February. The indications are that the present officers will be re-elected. Capt. Edwards, president of the association, is very much pleased with the success achiev- ed by the organization during the past year. It is expected that when the new gymnasium at the Center Market building is completed a boom will follow throughout the brigade, so far as athletics are con- cerned. To Elect a Captain. The members of Company A, ist Sepa- rate Battalion, have been ordered to as- semble at the Armory Monday evening next at 9 o’clock for the purpose of electing @ captain. Maj. Arthur Brooks will pre- side, Much interest is manifested by the officers of the lst Separate Battalion in the school of instruction which Maj. Brooks has an- nounced. It is anticipated that marked im- provement throughout the battalion will result from this new feature. An awakening has been noticeable in the work of Company C, under Capt. P. T. Webster. At the regular drill Wednesday evening last the command made a particu- larly creditable showing. Civil Officers Chosen. At the regular monthly meeting of Com- pany A, 2d Battalion, held last Monday, civil officers were elected as follows: F. M. Collins, recording secretary; G. W. Mc- Glue, financial secretary; W. L. Hazard, treasurer, and H. Putsche, librarian. Capt. Edwards announced the following as an executive committee: Capt. E. C. Edwards, chairman; Lieut. C. A. Meyer, Lieut. L. Prosise, jr., Sergt. W. Thompson, Sergt. F. M. Collins, Private G. W. McGlue and Private W. L. Hazard. S. Dod, oO. Finance committee: _Sergts. Joseph Guista, William Smith and T. G. Davis. General court-martial: Lieut. C.

Davis has Prepared a very artistic pen and ink copy of the general orders announcing the death of Gen. Ordway.. Tie copy is, indeed, a thing of beauty, It.jis now at headquar- ters, but will be forwarded to Mrs. Ordway. The organization:of Troop A has been completed, the membership now number- ing forty-three. It is understood that if an available site can be secured the troop will erect an armory and riding hall. First sergeants will hereafter not wear the sword, as they have been doing for sev- eral years past. Orders have been issued from headquarters directing that such non- commissioned officers use only the rifie. Gen. Harries yesterday appeared before the subcommittee on appropriations of the House of Representatives and explained the militta items included among the Dis- trict*estimates for the next fiscal year. Because of the presence at Fort Wash- ington of a battery of artillery of the army it is probable that the District Guard will not again go Into camp at that reservation. Fort Myer is among the possibilities as a site for the next encampment of-the local brigade. From present indications it appears that the repairs at Center Market building will not permit of the occupancy thereof by the guard until about the Ist of March. A pe- riod of inactivity on the part of the troops for about thirty days will, of necessity, en- sve. 2 ———— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Mission at Trinity Church—Other Special Services—Briefs.

A good deal of complaint has arisen late- ly from residents ofthis section over the alleged failure of the cars of the Metro- politan railroad to’stop at the proper praces when signaled by those who want to ride. In seme cases the moterman would inform the péople to take the next car, which, per- haps, would bé immediately following. It has happened, and’ is beeomirig more fre- quent, that passengers thus referred to the next car would wait three or four or per- haps five minutes. The delay causes a good deal of annoyance to those who are in a hurry to get down town. ————__ TEN IN ONE GROUP. Nine White Men and a Mascot Sur- round Campfire. Nine white men, alleged tramps, and one black mascot were in camp in the Anacostia freight yard yesterday after- roon, enjoying a camp fire, when Police- men AHen and Dyer reached there. The officers had heard of the presence of the tramps in the freight yard, and they went out to enforce the law. “Having a good time, old man?” the mascot was asked by one of the officers. “Bet your life we are,” was his response, “and we came out; here in the country to keep cut of trouble.” “You don’t call this country?” “Certainly I do..1f the woods ain’t in the country I don’t know where they are.”” Some of his white companions, who had been on the road, long enough to know something of the laws and the police, showed uo interest whatever in the con- versation, but were making a quiet effort to desert the camp. They were prevented from doing so, however, and the order of the officers: “You are under arrest,” followed by the formation of a line, and, headed by the bluec the captives were marched to the An: ia police station. In camp some the men were enjoying the leavings of dinner tables, while others were indulging in an after-dinner smoke. In the station they were huddled together in the cells until they were transferred to the fifth precinct station. The mascot gave his name as Henry Jones, while his white friends registered as Thomas Cook, Wm. Waller, Frank Wills, John Shea, Samuel Roberts, James Smith, John Curran, John Frawley and Eugene Sanger. Judge Scott heard the case this morning. The officers who made the arrest told of the trouble experienced With tramps in the county, and said they had been try- ing to break up the practice of building fires along the line of the railroad and in the woods, Seven of the party pleaded guilty, but when given a chance to talk to the judge they begged to be let go. “I came over here:from Sparrow's Point, M.

Another of the party sald he had been in Alexandria looking for work, and still another sala he had been here to see the British minister. “And,” the latter added, “I'm due on a boat the 22d of May.” “I've no doubt you will be able to reach it by that time,” the judge told him. prisonei After the rs had finished giving their ny Judge tt had something to say.

Duncan, pastor of Eckington Presbyterian Church, will begin tomorrow evening a course of sermons on some present-day evils. The subjects will be “Gambling,” “Profanity,” “Suicide,” “Slander,” ishonesty,” “Bodily Dese- cration” and “Bad Company.” A very interesting special meeting was held Sunday afternoon last at 3 o'clock in Rev. Dr. Domer’s church. The exercises consisted of an African missionary service, at which an address was made by Mrs. Day, the widow of the veteran missionary to Africa, who died about a month ago while on his return to this country. Mrs. Day has been laboring in that country for ten years, and will return to Africa again the coming spring. Dr. Domer said Mrs. Day's address was one of the most tender, unassuming and interesting presentations of missionary life on the “dark continent” that he had ever heard. There was a large congregation present, and all were delight- ed. At the close of the meeting Mrs. Day was given an enthusiastic reception. The Willing Workers’ Circle of King’s Daughters of Gay Street Baptist Church, Rev. W. 8. O. Thomas, pastor, gave a 80- clable at the church ‘last evening. The Sever commence a series of revival W.
