A Indictments Against Former Dis- ee bursing Officer Kickhoefer. ‘Arguments were heard today by Chiet Justice Bingham, in Criminal Court No. 1, on the demurrers to the three indictments reported against Francis Julius Kickhoefer, who was formerly chief of the bureau of accounts and disbursing clerk of the State Department. One indietment charges a violation of section D485 of the Revised ther, embezzlement under the and the third, a viola- tion of section 5447 of the Revised Statutes. ‘The demurrers set forth, generally, the foliowing: “The facts averred constitute no offense under the laws in force in the District of Columbia at the time of the alleged com- mission thereof or at the time of the fixing of the indictment. “No offense is stated of which this court has jurisdiction. “The averments are so general andancer- tain that the defendant is not informed what he has to meet, or protected from an- other prosecution for the same supposed offense. “It is not set forth what person or officer intrusted the defendant with the property alleged to have been converted by the de- fendant to his own use, nor how it came into his possession @s disbursing clerk or as chief of the bureau of accounts.” Mr. A. S. Worthington, in behalf of Mr. Kieckhoefer, argued in support of the de- murrers, while Assisiant District Attorneys Shillington and Taggart contended that the indictments are valid and proper.

Ave. SUGGEST AMENDMENT, Change in Law Governing the Sup- ply of Water, ‘The Commissioners have submitted to the Senate District committee the draft of an amendment to be inserted in the pending District appropriation bill governing the supply of water to the local charitable in- stitutions. The amendment is as follows: “The Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized to furnish Potomae water without charge to orphan asylums and charity schools and such in- stitutions as receive annual appropriations from Congress to an amount to be fixed, in each case, by said Commissioners, not to exceed the rate of 100 gallons per average capita of inmates per diem; and for all wa- ter used beyond such an amount the insti- tution shall be charged at the prevailing rate for the use of water in the District. ‘They are further authorized to furnish Po- tomac water without charge to churches to an amount to be fixed in each case by them; any amount used in excess to be charged as hereinbefore provided.” ge Attachments and Garnishments. The District Commissioners have recom- mended to Congress certain amendments to the Revised Statutes of the United States for the District respecting attach- ments and garnishments, reciting that any judgment given by the District Supreme Court or any justice of the peate shall be a lien on any equitable interest in real or-per- sonal property, the lien to be collected through a suit in equity.

A snow ball conicst in Stanton Park Wednesday afternoon accounted for six vacant seats in the Peabody School build- irg this morning. One, of the boys had been arrested, and the complaint was that he bad struck an elderly colored woman. The boy denied the testimony of the po- lceman, and his companions also said the offiger was mistaken. It was stated that ss barticulay boy, in the case had told his ns at ty omagn Ww: for them to hit. ted Se ‘ark Watchman Dow told of the trouble he has with boys in the park, but it was the boys are not all from the Pea- hedy School. “He had been annoyed by the throwing of snow balls, but he had not Succeeled in-arresting them. Judge Kimball told the boys that he hoped this case would be a warning to them. He told them that it is a violation of law to throw snow pails under any cir- cumstances, and he wentéd them to un- derstand that when they are caught throw- ing at pedestrians they must expect to be fined.

A. W., at St. Louis, after The Star's report closed, y>s- terday, representatives of the ‘99 meet clubs of Boston and Buffalo addressed the assembly, inviting the leagu> to hold its annual gathering in these cities next year. Mr. Cooke of Rhode Island asked that the national assembly bé held at Providence, and after Mr. Boyle had withdrawn Phila- delphia’s like invitation, the assembly granted Mr. Cooke's request. The assem- bly then adjourned until 3 o'clock, deciding to meet in the Masonic Hall, where betier accommodations could be enjoyed. The afternoon session was turbulent and unsatisfactory to a majority of the dele- gates. The defeat of the amendment to admit professionals to membership proved a bitter pill to the men who cast 182 voies in its favor. A two-thirds majority was required to establish the amendment on the books of the league. Thirty-five votes were lacking when the secretary footed up his table of ballots. An auditing committee for the cnsuing year, consisting of George E. Black of New York, J. Fred. Adams of Massachusetts, and George W. Greenburg of Chicajzo, was elected. On behalf of the mayor of Indian- apolis, where the meet of 1898 will be held, Merrill Moores, a delegate to the conven- tion, presented to Chairman Potter for the wheelmen an immense key and the liberty of the city. A motion by Chief Consul Sams of Maryland to pay to Chairman Mott of the national racing board the balance of funds in the treasury for the board, some $1,400, as compensation for his work during the past year was unanimously adopted. It was also voted to pay to Secretary Bassett $200 for his services and to author- ize the loaning of $250 to the International Championship Association to defray the ex- penses of sending amateur and professional teams to the world’s championship contests to be held at Vienna. Through Chairman Mott the racing board reported a long list of riders who have been transferred to the professional class for the infraction of rules other than inat of competing for money. It was recommended that they be restored to their former stand- ing in the amateur class. This recommend- ation was adopted, with the single excep- tion of J. B. Corser of Allentown, Pa. Opposed to Professionals, The consideration @f amendments to the constitution and by-laws of the league then begun, The first was an amendment of article 3 of section 1 of the constitution. Mr. Cooke of Rhode Island and Mr. Law- son of Kentucky moved to strike out the word “amateur. This would have the effect of admitting to membership in the league members of the professional class, which had hitherto been entirely excluded. There ensued a most interesting debate. Every opportuni- ty was given the delegates to be heard be- fore the previous question was put. As the result of the bailot the amendment failed of adoption by a vote of 182 ayes to 143 nays. As 325 votes in all were cast, 217 was the number required to carry it. An analysis of the vote showed that most of dmission of “profes- * to membership came from the east, y York and New Jer: voting solidly nst the amendment. Pennsylvania's yote divided, 44 being for the amend- ment and 19 against it. Massachusetts and Rhode Island voted solidly for the amend- ment. from these two states and Pennsylv: the main support of the amendment came from the divisions south and west of the Allegheny mountains. Th od amendment proposed to ar- -tion 1, of the constitution, failed even considered, for it Was discovered that it had not been published as required. A motion to cast it aside was adopted. The next amendment was adopted after some debate and a few changes had been made in the wording. In brief, it provided that the board of officers of any state di- vision shall have the power to establish a junior membership of the League of Ameri- ean Whe: to be subject to the control and management of the board of offi of the state division in which the junior member resid Such membership shail consist of persons between the ages of twelve and eighteen years, Who must be a member of the fami- ly or ward of a regular member of the League of American Wheelmen in good standing at the time of the presentation of the application for membership as a junior member of the league. The remainder of this amendment per- tained to the details of the new departure. FISH AND GAME. The Annual Meeting of the District Protective Asapeiation. The Fish and Game Protective Associa- tion of the District of Columbia held its an- nual meeting at the W. L. I. Armory last evening. The organization has been in ex- istence only a year, but it numbers already between three and four hundred member: There was a large attendance last evening and much interest was shown in the re- ports made of the work done during the past year by the execuiive committee and the officers of the association. Commander R. D. Evans, the president, Was absent from the city, so the vice presi- dent, Mr. Jas.,L. Hood, occupied the ch: The report of the secretary-treasurer, Dr. W. P. Young, was submitted and approved. It set forth in a comprehensive miunner the actual work done by the association during the year. and showed a satisfactory financial conditior Mr. Richard Sylvester, the warden, read a detailed report of all that had been done to carry out the existing laws which re- late to the protection of game and fish, and explained the pending legislation iy which the association is directly interested. The present officers were unanimously re-elected, = Dr. Geo. W. Massamore, secretary of the Maryland Fish and Game Protective As- sociation, who is also a member of the District organization, gave an interesting talk about the Maryland association ar its efforts to secure a _unifocm game law’ for the entire state. The bill now before the Maryland legislature provides for such a law for seventeen counties, unimportant exceptions being made in the other counties because of climatic conditions. Mr. Henry Talbott read a special report on the subject of pollution of the Potomac water, and also upon the present supply of small and large-mouihed black bass in that river, and the necessities for prevent- ing their decrease. Upon invitation, Dr. T. 8. Palmer, orni- thologist of the Agricultural Department, addressed the meeting on the subject of protection of game birds from an ornithol- ogist’s standpoint, His talk was exceed- ingly interesting and his arguments did not differ materially from those advanced by sportsmen. He showed what advan- tages would result from more uniformity of the game laws in the different states and heartily approved the work of the District organization. He showed the cf- fect of non-uniformity of game laws on both the resident and migratory g:me birds, instancing the quail and woodcock. The scarcity of the latter, he sald, was cue almost entirely to the difference of state laws, which had the effect of making him the legitimate prey for sporismen during ten months in the ee allowing only two months for reproduction. Dr. Palmer showed his interest in the local organiza- tion by becoming a member of it. AT THE W. A. C. HOUSE. Two Games Won by the Bowling ‘Team.

His Washington Friends. Win. Mercer, the favorite twirler of the Washington Base Bell Club, arrived in the city this morning, and will be located for the next cight months at his old home on Gth street. Mercer s:ys he became tired of the routine of hi; little heme town and de- cided to come on to Washington, so as to be with the real pecple.

HURST AT ST. LOUIS. The Brown's New Manager Talks of His Plunx for the Season, A special from St. Louis says that Tim Hurst, who will manage the Browns the coming season, arrived in St. Louis Wed- nesday. “I signed with Mr. Von der Ahe last week,” said Hurst, “and my contract gives me full control of men. I will not tol- erate any kind of interference from Mr. Von der Ahe or anybody else, and as re- gards the players, my worl will be law. My contract calls for this, and I will see that I get what is coming to me. I intend to leave tomorrow on a ‘stiM hunt’ for playet and hope to find a first baseman and a few other players. Mr. Von der Ahe has a long list of men under contract, and | it will require a lot of work to weed them out. I will order the men fo report here on March 14, and will take them to West Baden Springs, Ind., and keep them in training there until April 1. ‘The trip will do a lot of the men good. I had hoped to see Mr. Von der Ahe, but understand he fs out of town on some ‘pressing’ busines However, we will be back in St. Lou!

The Amateur Cycle Racing Association of Maryland has been formed, the purpose being to aid one another in the prospect- ive speed contests which will take place in Maryland during the coming spring and summer. The membership not com- posed entirely of amateur cyclists, as the name would imply, but includes some well- known coachers, timers, checkers and start- ers, some of them professional riders. The association is the outgrowth of the “League of Seven.” which last fall broke the state's short-distance road record. The main feature of the “League of Seven” was that the members were pledged to help any of its members w might wish to try for a record on the road. groundwork of the new association, with the additon that the members will furnish each other with pacing and other facili- ties for the track and road match races.
