His Suspension Ordered and Dismis- sal Recommended. Policeman L. C. Godwin of the second precinct has been suspended from duty and Maj. Moore has recommended to the Com- missioners that he be dismissed. His sus- pension was ordered yesterday, on the charge of being absent from duty ment | i leave. turday he received his month's pay, but, contrary to usual custom, he did not go home. When he failed to report for | duty that day it was thought he had been unavoidably detained at home by reason of Sickness, but an investigaticn, started by Lieut. Heffner, showed that the officer had Heserted the force. It was learned that he had sold his uniform and his wife was un- ble to give the officers any information toncerning his whereabouts. Officer Godwin had been on the force for about « year. He was not a drinking man, And it is believed by his former friends that he has gone away to join the army or navy, he had shown considerable interest in B. war. His wife and child live at No. 1917 bh street northwest. et New Court to Try Menocal. Owing to the necessity for giving sea duty to all active officers of the navy the Judge advocate general of the navy has ‘been obliged to make a radical change in the composition of the court-martial which meets at the New York navy yard next ‘Thursday to try A. G. Menocal on charges growing out of the failure of the New York dry dock. For the first time since the civil war a majority of the court is composed of retired naval officers. The new court will consist of Rear Admira) A. E. re- tired: Captain Edwin Shepard, H. Picking, retired; Captain A. G. Reid, retired; Captain Yates Sterling, Captain omas Nelson, retired; Commander G.

Policemen Harrover and Turner of the sixth precinct are after the newsboys who eern their living in the vicinity of the Bal- timore and Ohio depot. Five of their vic- tims were before Judge Scott this morning fer crying aloud their papers yesterday morning, while cne boy was in court for getting on a street car. He gave his name as Joseph Junani, and his respectable ap- pearance indicated that he reaped the ben fit ef his lator. Policeman Turner had ar- rested him for getting on 2 horse car. “A man on the car calied me,” said the boy, “but I didn’t have the paper he want- ed and I jumped off the car.” Judge Scott said it was a common occur- rence for street car passengers to call newsboys. Such a case had never been called to his attention before, and he did not feel as if he. ought to fine the boy. After being warned against a repetition of the offense, the lad was released on nis own recognizance. Policeman Harrover lodged a complaint against the five boys for alleged viola- ticns of the Sunday law. Counsel for the boys argued that they were ea! their living in this way, and while they were probably guilty of a technical viclation of law, they ought not be fired. “The policeman was in citizens’ clothes,” sald one of the attorneys, “and he put his hand in his pocket as if he wanted a paper before two of the boys calied their papers for his benefit.” Judge Scott took the personal bonds of the boys.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION. Attitude of the French Government and People Toward This Country. Mr. M. Gallia, who is in this country in the interests of the Paris exposition of 1900 had interviews today with Senators Hanna and Gallirger and Speaker Reed ard Representative Cannon and other members of Congress. He found that the general sentiment was in favor of the United States being strongly represented at the exposition. He also found that the idea of a permauent United States expcsi- tion in Paris was greatly favored. In talk- ing with a Star reporter today on the sub- Ject of the disposition of the French govern- ment and people towards this country, Mr. Gallia said: “M. Hanctaux, the French minister of foreign affairs, has publicly de- clared in the: chamber of deputies that France would reinain neutral during the Hispano-American conflict, and, furtker- more, ho one can point to any unfriendiy act done by the French government toward “the United States. As to the French press, it.must be remembered that it is not under the control of the governmert, and free America less than any country can com- plain of its freedom. Whatever French yellow journals (the United States aiso has many yellow journals) may say against this country, it is a fact that the cause es- poused by the United States has in the rress of France many warm supporters, and when the humanitarian and unselfish motives of the United States shall become better known, no doubt there will be a corsensus of praise in all the respectable press of France,” ———S , To Pay Market Claims.

FEATURES OF THE DAY ‘The second naticral congress of mothers corvened today at the Grand Opera House, the morning being devoted to the rece pti-n of delegates, the recording of credentials and the distribution of badges. All morn- ing a line of ladies went in and out of the main corridor leading to the Opera House from Pennsylvania avenue, where the reg- ister for delegates, the receptacle for cre- dentials and the bureau of information were established. The box office had been transformed into @ post office, and the pictures of theatrical celebrities on the walls seemed a little in- congruaus, to say the least. Beside the official stands in the corridor were a num- ber of others devoted to the sale of all scrts of things appropriate to mothers, and a striking illustration of the way in which the gathering was being catered to was a table to the left of the avenue entrance cecvered with doll babies of assorted sizes and complexions. There were stands also devoted for lt- elature on the subject of children and their proper raising, and if all the various Pamphlets and volumes are read and their directions the American baby will be an ideal infant indeed. A “social peace and arbitration” button was also for sale, but ews from Manila did not permit a very One remarkable thing about the congress was, however, that notwithstanding the number of mothers present, there was not a baby or a small child in evidence, al- though several little girls apparently little more than children, wore badges signifying they were delegates to the congress. ‘The actual business of the congress was to begin at 2 o'clock, when Mrs. B. Chap- pell of Lynn, Penna., was to read a paper on “Mother and Child In Japanese Homes.” Postponement Necessary. Some minuces after this hour Mrs. Bir- ney, the president, announced that there seemed to be some misunderstanding about the time of meeting, and stated that be- carse of this it would be better to post- pene the address of welcome and other business outlined until tne meeting tonight, and then introduced Mrs. Helen Raymond Wells of Akron, Ohio, wno read a paper on “Children’s Fights.” she said, should first endeavor and what children’s rights were to respect them. Only these per- can go back to their own child- i terpret what chil- 3. Wells paid close and careful attention to the-rights cf chil- dren by birth, environment, and education. If it were true that it teok three genera- tions to make a gentlemap, it would be well for motaers now (6 begin, so as to be looked back to as grandmothers for the coming children to be proud of. Cnhil- dren's rights of envirenment meant many things which pecded much thought and tact on parents’ parts. Children had a rght to beauty; to. freg¢om in choice of food and clothing; to sanitaty Cooking; to physical culture. If they are given their rights they wil! be polite;ang deferent, and thoughtful. When their rights are in- fringed on is when they are rude and thoughtless. In planting a )child’s, habits i easy to get rid of thesnoxious weed consideration of to cl dren fréquently led to a carelessness or their own part to the solemnity, of obliga- iions. Bad Habit Condemned. Mrs. Wells made an especially strong ar- gtment against the tendency of perso: frighten children by telling them about “bugaboos,” ghosts and horror stories gen- erally, with the effect of making the little ores timid when they had a right to be courageous. Children had a sight to play, too, out- dcors as well as in, but very few houses had a corner where children could play un- restrained, by the desire of mothers or heusemaids to “put things in order.” A consideration of the child’s rights in this cennection is sure to instill sympathy in the little ones, Mrs. Wells deciared, and she recited many instances of children’s pleasures being catered to by the older per- sons. “I know of one little fellow,” she read, “who had two uncles, and was asked wich ene he loved the best. ‘Unky Jimmy,’ said the little man ‘jumps me high up in ze air an’ is vewwy good to me, but Uncky Georgey he gets wight down on de floor an’ pays wiz mean’ f lubs him bestest.’ ” Mrs. Wells, continuing the instructive recital of children's rights, reviewed their right to joyousness, to se and feel what is good for them, to be helped to make de cisions, to a will and opinion of their own the Il not injure their best interests. Deterrents are not the proper means of seeuring discipline. The word “‘don’t” should never be used unless the child is about to do something endangering his morals or his manners. Mrs. Wells dwelt upon the theme she so ably had chosen at much Iength, especially giving attention to children’s rights to edu: cation, and was loudly applauded when she concluded. At 2:30 o’clock devotional exercises were held, after which the reports of delegates were in order. Rustle of Silks, Flutter of Ribbons. The rustle of silks, flutter of ribbons and frou frou of the combination evidenced the fact that the “mothers” held down the boards at the Grand Opera House this morning. True, a male man or two passed around in a half frightened way, but they were there to nail things. Mothers can do a. good many things, but there isn’t a moth- er’s daughter of them who likes to drive nails. It is quite evident that the mothers do not go in for decoration, as one little, lorn flag over a back door of the stage is every rag of decoration to be seen. The Opera House was swept out and garnished, how- ever, clean enough to satisfy any careful housewife, and a forest of chairs on the stage, filled with handsomely dressed _ma- trons, supports the president, Mrs. Theo- dore W. Birney. " There are many distinguished people present. One who mixes fame and noto- riety in equal parts, a slendor little woman with a bright face and vivacious manners, the author of several salacious volumes, condemned and praised mbeut equally, is Mrs. Helen Gardner of New /York city, who ‘Tuesday evening will tellrwhether “Hered- ity Can be Modified.” a Members Regtatéred.

The office ‘of the national congress of mothers in the Loan and Trust building will be closed during the week the con- gress is in session. Large placards in the arcade of the opera house indicate the arrangement of the places designated. The book exhibit in the arcade is one of the most interesting features of the con- gress. The literature committee has in a comparatively short space of time col- lected many books and periodicals of in- terest to mothers and the public generally. The report of the first national congress of mothers Is a handsome volume. A stenographic report will be made of the proceedings of the second congress, and it will be edited and published as soon as possible. Those desirous of receiving notice when the report is ready for distrib: tion, will kindly leave name and addres: with those in charge of the book exhi The committee on badges and credentials and registration are located in the arcade; also the bureau of information, the post office and souvenir booth, a table contain- ing catalogues of institutions advertised in the program, and a corner specially titted up with kindergarten materiais. Telegraphic blanks and messengers can be obtained at the bureau of information. The various committees may be readily distinguished by the color of their badges, as follows: Executive, white and gold; ush- ers, white, scarlet lettering; arrangements, scarlet; transportation, light orange; liter- ature, nile green; badges and credentials, clive green; music, tan; €nformation, car- dinal; press clippings, magenta; registre tion, dark green; press, lilac, pale; public! ty, royal blue; resolutions, old rose; recep- ticn, purple; editor of report, light yellow; delegates, medium blue; visitors, light pink; Gelegates from other ‘organizations, dark pink. Delegates and visitors are requested to remove their hats and -bonnets during the sessions. The mothers are progressive. Mrs. M. S. Gist, who is delegate from two or three organizations, is the registrar, and all the delegates and Visitors are requested to register their names. Mrs. James H. McGill, chairman of the committee on entertainment, !s omnipres- ent. The programs are “annotated” with quo- tations of the most pointed character. The badges are very neat, with a row of stars in silver or gilt around the edge, and Bodenhausen's Madonna and_ child’ em- bossed on them. The press badge isin mourning. One of the quotations in the program was evidently suggested by the “Don't Worry” man, Theodore F. Seward. It reads: “Do not hurry, do not worry, as this world you travel through.” BILL FATALLY DEFECTIVE Superintendent Lewis’ Objections to Legisla- tion for Inebriates. Creation of an Institution Would Be Merely an Experiment—Re- _ View of State Laws. In a report submitted by him to the Dis- trict Commissioners Saturday afternoon the District superintendent of charities says of the House bill to provide for the care and cure of inebriates here that it is fatally defective. He holds that the creation of such an institution here would be an ex- periment, justified only on certain eond#- tions. He also believes that the extent to which Inebriety is curable and the means to the use of which it will most often yield have never been determined. Explaining that he had had no personal knowledge of asylums or hespitais for in- ebriates, the superintendent of charities states that he sent out a number of in- quiries, receiving replies from some of the highest authorities on the subject in the United States. From these he concluded that, while attempts at the establishment of hespitals and asylums for the care of inebriety have been made in several states, most of them have failed eiiher because authority to conduct said institu- tions properly could not be secured or the institutions have been abandoned as such because of inherent difficulties. Those now being conducted under state auspices are experimental and have not fully justined the expectatioas of their founders. Private institutions are making show of success by keeping their numbers small, carefully selecting cases, and excluding all not of wood character apart from habits ot in- toxication. Emphasis of Failure. The report, after giving in detail the let- ters received and abstracts from annual reports from similar institutions, con- cludes as follows: “The failure of prohibition emphasizes the necessity for the sequestration of in- ebriates. Laws for its enforcement would receive the support of many, while they would deprive no one of liberty who has not forfeited some of the privileges of full citizenship, or who would not be benefited by restraint. “When the Cemmizsioners are pre; to resist the clamor of those who will op- pese the exercise of the authority neces- sary to the proper conduct of an asylum for inebriates, when they are ready to urge the justice and righteousness of the en- forced colonization of inebriates under pub- lic protection, liberty thereafter being granted only on condition of total absti- rence; when they are ready to urge further the unremitting surveillance of colonists on conditional leave, and their immediate re- turn for longer and longer returns of re- straint upon violation of the conditions of lcave, when they are prepared to furnish employment for such colonists, and to dis- pose of the products of their labor in dis- regard to the contention against public competition with private enterprise—then, and only under such circumstances, wili an attempt to secure legislation on the sub- ject, in my judgment, be available. “The bill submitted was introduced in the House of ntatives on December 4, 1895, by Mr. Meredith, and referred to the committee on the District of Columbia. It was subsequently submitted to the superin- tendent of charities, who made a report upon it in January, 1806. It passed the House of Representatives March 9, 1806. In April and May, 1896, it was in the hands of the health officer for ‘t.
