CITY AND DISTRICT. — ATTEMPTED MURDER. Fugitive Arrested Here for Crime in North Carolina, George Washington Green, alias Murray, the colored man who was arrested here several days ago by Policeman Allen on suepicion that he was wanted for the mur- der of Policeman Austin in Richmond, proved to be a fugitive from North Caro- lina. He is charged at Durham with the attempted murder of the pay clerk of Duke's tobacco factory. Chief Woodhall of the Durham police force came here Sat- urday afternoon and got the prisoner. Green was employed in the factory, and when he was disckarged he had a dispute about the amount of money paid him. He started to leave the factory, but returned to where the clerk was and shot him through the body. The shooting occurred a Saturday afternoon, and Green started this way as soon as he could. He was in the vicinity of Richmond at the time the policeman was murdered, but took no part in the affair. From Richmond he came here and was arrested in a freight car in the Anacostia railroad yard. —.. RST OF ENTHUSIASM. National Airs Invoke Response From a Theater Audience. An evidence of the enthusiasm and love of country upon the part of the people of the capital city was given Saturday night @: the National Theater dzring the per- formance of “The Rivals’ by Mr. Nat. Goodwin's company. The flame of patriot- ism was started at the conclusion of the first act, when the orchestra, under the di- rection of Prof. Schroeder, struck into the strains of a well-known patrol. Soon after the op2aing bars the familiar air of “Dixie” Was heard, and the audience, which was large enough to take up nearly all tha Standiag room on the first floor, as well as fili all th= seats in the two gulleries, show- €a its appreciation by tumultuous applause. But when the merged into “The Star Spangled Banner’ ex masse the entire audience arose men reached for their hats and women ‘or their handkerchiels, and in a momeat the entire theater presented a scene that will net soon be forgotten by the who were fortunate enough to be present. The members of the company ap- Peared cn the stage at this juncture and aided in te cheering. It was probably the most impressive Scene that has ever been witnessed in Washington. fi ———.—_— The Star Out of Town.

[VERY QUEER DELAY Oleomargarine Cases Seem to Have Been Lost Sight of. LEGAL PROCRASTINATION CRITICISED A West Virginia Case Showing the Fleg-ant Oleo. Frauds. POWERS THAT ARE POTENT Oleomargarine men who practice success- fully the violation of the laws and regula- tions governing the sale of the product arc taking advantage of th2 present excitement to extend their illegal operations, and the expected Increase in the price of real but- ter, which lke all other necessitizs ad- vances when war is in progress, is being locked forward to by them with great in- terest. The authorities at the city hall seem to have entirely forgotten the numerous in- dictments pending against alleged violators of the oleomargarine laws and regulations in the District, where the custom has been so flagrantly and persistently indulged in, and there is consid2rable comment on the subject in circles vitally interested in the matter. Three months ago It was officially announced at the district attorney's office that the cases in question would be called for trial in # short tims. At the inquest into the killing of George M. Rye Assistant District Atiorney Shillington upon being asked by a Star reporter when the oleo cases would be tried replizd that he be- leved they would be called in about ten days. Mr. Taggart Doesn’t Know. In response to a similar inquiry made Saturday Assistant District Attorney Tag- gart, to whom the prosecution of the cases has b2en assigned, inquired what the “status of the Philadelphia case” was, and said he didn't know when the cases here would be called. Just what bearing the Philadelphia case, presumably that of Jo- seph Wilkins and Howard Butler, convicted ther2 in March and sentenced to fines and terms of imprisonment for violations of the oleo laws, has on the prosecution of the numerous cases pending in the local court Mr. Taggart did not state. There is no analogy, at any rate, between that case, in which th2 serving of the sentences by the convicted men is delayed until September by reason of their attorneys filing a writ of error against the finding of the court, and those to be heard here. In the Philadelphia cas? Wilkins and Butler were charged wita removing the legal marks from a number of packages of oleomargarine. In the local cases the indicted parties are charged with selling cieomargarine for butter and charg- irg butter prices for it. Impressions on the Subject. The delay in bringing these cases to trial is Increasing the impression, already strong, that the great powers out west and in the internal revenue bureau behind the oleo- margarine dealers are more potent than the public demand for a relief from the out- zageous imposition upon it, and it seems to many conservative observers that the district attorney's office owes it to itself to bring the cases to early trial. The frieads of the oleomargarine men do rot hesitate to declare that they will nevcr be brought to trial as long as District At- torney Davis can prevent it. This, of course, is an aspersion on Mr. Davis, but the oleomargarine men and their sympa- thizers do not hesitate to indulge in it at every opportunity. Mr. Davis, as is well known, was associated with Mr. Jeremiah M. Wilson as attorney for the various per- ns under indictment for oleomargarine violations, and consequently it was not possible for him to personally prosecute the cases, and they were assigned to As- sistant District Attorney Taggart. It is a fact, however, that when Mr. Davis’ nomi- nation for the office he now holds by ap- pointment of the District Supreme Court was pending in the Senate and was being antagonized by the National Dairy Union on account of his connection with the oleo- margarine cases in question, representa- tives of the dairy union were assured by representatives of the bar association that while Mr. Davis could not personally take part in the cases, he would, if confirmed as district attorney, see that they were vig- orously prosecuted. Violations Still in Progress. The violations of the law and the regu- lations here have not ceased and the inter- nal revenue authorities are perfectly well aware of it. Vigorous prosecution of pend- ing cases, it Is thought, would substantially aid in stopping the nefarious practice. w. convicted on an indictment similar to those now pending against a number of others, and who paid a heavy fine and suffered jail imprison- ment for three hours, said this morning that he could not see why he should have been made to suffer and the others charged with similar offenses not even brought to trial. Victims Made to Suffer More. An interesting case, showing the flagrant and widespread violation of the oleomarg- arine laws and illustrating anew the policy of the internal revenue bureau in allowing the arch offenders in the practice to escape prosecution by payment of large sums of money into the treasury as “compromises,” has just been disposed of in the United States district court of West Virginia. A year or so ago the internal revenue special agents discovered that Wilkins & Co. of this city were sending Stolze Bros. of Wheeling, W. Va., large quantities of oleo- margarine in packages from which the legal marks had been removed. Stolze Bros. supplied this oleomargarine to numerous dealers in West Virginia, Ohio and Penn- sylvania, who purchased it urder the sup- position that it was butter and who in turn sold it to customers for butter. The inter- ral revenue authorities accepted $2,000 from Wilkins & Co. and $1,500 from Stolze Bros. in return for compromising the cases against them. Special agents of the bureau then worked up cases against the smaller dealers who had bought the supposed but- ter from Stolze Bros., and the bureau au- thorities notified these dealers that they would each be compelled to pay the license tax demanded of dealers in oleomargarine and in addition the penalty attached to selling oleomargarine illegally. A Test Case Brought. The amount involved in all these cases was $14,000. Herbert & Paul, one of the firms purchasing from Stolze Bros., were selected by the others involved to bring a test case in the United States district court of West Virginia to recover from the gov- ernment the money paid for such licenses and penalties. The case was heard by Judge Jackson a couple of weeks ago, Gov- ernor Atkinson of West Virginia appearing as attorney for Herbert & Paul. Special agents of the internal revenue bu. reau showed that in two years Stolze Bro had received 55,000 pounds of alleged but- ter, of which over 54,000 pounds were olev- margarine, shipped from Washington by Wilkins & Co. and “Howard & Co.,” the latter shown to be the name adopted by Howard Butler, an employe of Wilkins & Co. Justice Jackson's Warning. During the trial John C. Stolze of the firm of Stolze Brothers was put on the stand, and prodvced his books. His an- swers to direct questicns were so ambig- uous that Judge Jackson directed him to bring all the accounts of his firm into court, and adjourned court for that pur- pose, significantly remarking that he did not propose to have justice trified with ard that he proposed to get all the fact Next day, accordingly, Stolze appeared produced’ his check book stubs. These showed that all the checks in the transac- tions under the court's consideration had been made payable to Wilkins & Co.’a drafts in amounts of $200 and $400. When the case had reached a critical point an effort was made by the attorneys of Herbert and Paul and the other dealers involved to settle it by having the govern- ment accept merely the license fees and re- scind the penalties imposed. In his charge to the jury, however, Judge Jackson di- rected it to bring in a verdict for both license and penalty. The jury returned a verdict as directed. THE DAMES ADJOURN. Colonial Society Brings Its Annunl Session to a Close. The National Society of Co!cnial Dames adjourned Saturday afternoon; after a four days’ session. The national officers were re-elected and a society formed for the as- sistance of wounded in battle, the care of families while the men are at war and as- sistance in all cases of national distress. The resolutions which were passed have the indorsement of President McKinley end the surgeon generals of the army aad navy departments. The committee in charge of this work is Mrs. Mason of Rhode Island, Countess Esterhazy of this city, Mrs. Chauncey of New York, Mrs. Claiborne of Virginia, Mrs. Ravenel of South Carolin. Mrs. C. C. Harrison of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Greesbeck of Ohio. The first work which will be undertaken is furnishing del- icacies for the ambulance ship, the Sclace, which will be ready to sail within a few days. Its duty will be to fol!ow in .the wake of the fleet, and, in the cas> a bat- tle, to take care of the wounded. This ve: sel contains operating tables and every- thing which will be necessary to provide for the comfort of the wounded. The ladies of the society have pledged themselves to pro- vide dainties for the sick and to make such other provisions as would be impracticable for the government to do. Five hundred dollars in cash was given toward the cause within five minutes after the wants of the society were made known, and before the session ended upward of $1,000 had been subscribed. The money which will be raised by the local societies will be for- warded to their various state headquarters and from there to the national treasurer. The society will meet in this city in 1900. a FARM DWELLING BURNED. Three-Story Residence Destroyed Near Cheltenham, Md. The large three-story residence on the farm of E. E. Holloway, situated near the House of Reformation, Cheltenham, Md., was burned to the ground yesterday morn- ing at 2:45 o'clock. The origin of the fire is a mystery. The flames were discovered by a colored man living in a tenement house near by, who ran over to notify Mr. and Mrs. Holliday. They were sleeping soundly and were totally unaware of their danger, and but for this timely awakening they and their children would probably have perished. The fire seems to have started in the kitchen. It spread so rapidly that by the time the residents were awakened they had very little time to save any of the con- tents. During this time a heavy rain was falling, and the wind being favorable kept the flying sparks from the large barns, which are among the finest in the vicinity. The building was partly insured. ——_+—__ . PLACES WILL BE HELD. Notice to Interior Department Em- ployes Who Enlist. The Secretary of the Interior has issued the following notice to the heads of bu- reaus and offices of the Interior Depart- ment: “In answer to inquiries for tnformation you are hereby notified that in case any officer, clerk or employe in or under the Department of the Interior desires to leave the service temporarily to engage in the military or naval service in the event of war, he may be reinstated within any time within twelve morths from the time of separation from the service. “Temporary appointment will be made to fill a place so vacated, with the under- standing that upon the return of the offi- cer, clerk or employe the person occupying the place temporarily will be removed in order that the former occupant of the Place can be reinstated.” cee eae The Avenues of Time Are strewn with lost opportunities.

A customer called at Solomon Rosenthal’s clothing store, No. 605 D street, yesterday morning between midnight and 6 o'clock, while the proprietor was asleep. As tht front door was closed the customer went to the rear. A little force was required to get the door open, and when this was done the intruder selected a suit of clothes. Then he selected two watches from the show case. He exchanged his rags for the new suit, but put nothing in the show case to take the place of the watches. His old garments were found in the store yesterday morning and turned over to the police. The detectives are now looking for the burglar. —— The Pink of Perfection. Gude's carnations, 35 cents doz.

Alfred Rich Arrested for Robbing His Landlady. Alfred J. Rich, a colored jockey, known in sporting circles as “Bovee,” was today held in $500 bond by Judge Kimball for a hearing Wednesday to answer the charge of stealing $00 worth of jewelry from Mrs. Mary Bishop of No. 316 Maine ave- nue. The statements made were that early yesterday morning the attention of Officer Shannon of the fourth precinct was at- tracted to the Bishop home by reason of loud noises issuing therefrom. The officer entered the premises and found that Mrs. Bishop charged Rich, a boarder in the house, with robbing her of jewelry, as above stated. The stolen articles were re- covered from the accused and a man to whom a portion of the goods were given. The defendant is said to be one of the best known jockeys in the eastern section of the country, but nearly a year ago, it is alleged, he was expelled from the race tracks of the eastern association for im- moral conduct. Saturday last Rich succeeded in getting reinstated in the ranks of the employes of the association and was engaged to ride a race at Long Branch today. It is thought it was Rich’s intention, if he could have gotten away from the house without the loss being discovered, to pawn the jewelry, to as to get money tq enable him to leave lown. Patsy Mann’s Warehouse Afire. An alarm was sounded this morning about 12:30 o'clock from box 426 for fire in Patsy Mann’s warehouse and stable, on Canal street southwest near the river. The building, which is owned by J. B. Ken- dall, was damaged to the extent of $25), white Mann’s loss was about $1,000. Po- licemen who made an investigation were unable to ascertain the cause of the fire. Keep in mind that Scott’s Emul- sion contains the hypophosphites. These alone make it of great value for all affections of the nervous system. It also contains glycerine, a most valuable, soothing and healing agent. Then there is the cod-liver oil, ac- knowledged by all physicians as the best remedy for poor blood and loss in weight. These three great remedial agents blended into a creamy Emulsion, make a remarkable tissue builder. SOc. and $1.00, all druggists. SCOTT & BOW: Chemists, New York. CITY ITEMS.
