THE: EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JUNE 24,.1898-16 PAGES ee ee WILL BECOME PROS Local Amateur Cyclists ‘to Lose Their Standing. CHAIRMAN MOTE HAS THE EVIDENCE The Case of Fred Schade Under Consideration. LIKELY TO BE TROUBLE —_+—_ —_ Washington's crack amateurs of the cycle track have ridden their last race In this city as members of that class of riders. Chairman Albert Mott of the League of American Wh2elmen, who was in the city yesterday acting as referee for the natiozal circuit meet at International Park, declares that with very few exceptions every ama- teur racing man in tha District will be transferred to the professional class before the >xpiration ef another week. The czar of the racing board declares he has had enough evidenc> in hand to turn the men “pro” for some time past, and has let them ff as long as he intends. The transferral of Al Moran is but the beginning of a wholesale disruption of the ranks of the local wheelrren who fight for honor on th> board track. Lee Counselman, the , middle-distance jon of the District, who has yet to be i, and who is one of the m , will 1 n2xt Tuesday night, when he goes to Baltimore to t in pacing Fred Sims of this city, who has taken on a match with Cissac, a fast middle-distance profes- sional. The Winner of the Cissac-Sims race will be matched against Jay Eaton, the for- mer indoor king, and now a member of the middle-distance ranks. It is th2n proposed that Counselman shall make his debat in a mateh race with Eaton. Counselman’s race will be pulled off not later than two weeks from Tuesday. Lee will prove a t loss to ghe amateur ranks of th2 country at large. There will virtually be no amateurs in the District by the time he goes over. Counselman will be under the management of Jack Prince, ths race mect promoter, who intends opening a track in this city at a not far-distant date. Fred. Schade'’s Case. Fred Schade, that fast and invincible lit- tle rider, who for many years has been al- most idolized in this city and in his native state of Virginia, as well as on the tracks of the north, where he has raced many times and is as well known as any bicycle rider in the country, is also to leave the amateur ranks, and next week will see him racing in the professional class, or not at all. Chairman Mott says he has Fred's case under consideration. It is more than likely that Schade will be turned profes sional, however, on his own request, that he may continue to race with his old rivals and chums and also take his place among the great professional riders of the country. lf Schade goes over into the fast class an effort will be made to bring him and Tom Cooper together for a match race, to be ats of one mile each, on the the largest purse. 'Schade has re ntly graduated from the law de- partment of Georgetown University and has had the degree of bachelor of law conferred upon hk it is possible, there- fore, th with hi advent into the profes- ional class he will give up the track for good and ali and devote himself to further study and the practice of law. Schade has been the central figure of amateur racing shington since he first went on the in ISM. During the four years that ft »wed he has won a national repu- tation, many championships and innumer- able races here. be a source of much regret to friends to see him go over, and they may make a fight for hi: i tement. . last year’s District cham- best of the rachg shington, will be turned next »rding to Mr. Mott. The other ill fall under the swing of Mr. S chet will probably Bayard Wrenn, Harr. ige, Griffin ad, C. J. Mueller, H. reer, U. E. se E. Smith and Pittman. Mr. run in three hi off track in: week, Mott as yet undecided in the cases of Reddington, Farrington, Fister, Brearley and some < ghts. If there is r, he will turn professional, for the racing board of the word. transfer v r ranks car b » transferred with sional class Ther llent racing in Weshing- f old, but the men will i ks of ve bebind a sted through amateur rules rd. The novice 1 amateur con- the men to the will still be ex ton and rivalr: joined t ional racing bo: tingent from hence Whnt Mr. Mott Says. Mr. Mott's appearance on the track y terday was in the nature of a bombshe!! for the riders who have known for som2 time that he has been keeping a watchful eye on their every move. When seen by a reporter for The Star yesterday afternoon Mr. Mott said that the riders mentioned above would be turned professional within the next week. In the doubtful eases men- tioned, he said he would look into the charges he has against the men and will then make up his mind as to what action shall be taken in the matter. Mr. Mott $s that the amateurs of Washington nave been repeatedly warned im the past, but have centinued to violate the racing on all occasions. He said alse that in next bulletin, made public Thursday next, there will be a wholesale transfer of amateur riders into the professional cl from Baltrmcre, and from Philadelphia, a well as from Washington. The loca! boys am> aware of Mr. Mott's decision in the fternoon and have become resigned to their fate, none caring but little for being sferred, proyided his mates are turned at the same time. transfer to the professional class will in” Mueller, who is just new in his prime as an amateur, as evi- denced by his remarkable performance in ional class he may he able to repeat his performance, but it is a pity that he has no chance to gain » repu- tation first an amateur. Griffin Hal- stead may also quit the track if Chairman Mott persists in his intention of transfer- rirg him to the professional class, or he ray accept the situation in the same spirit of the other riders and make the best of the changed conditions. The list of ama- teurs to be transferred will make a valua- ble addition to the professional class in this seeticn. Once turned the men may e.ter into the new class and by devoting their entire time to cycle racing, follow the big tracks of the rorth. The Racing Rules, ‘The rules, one or more of which the amateurs have been guilty of violating, are interpreted by the L. A. W. as follow ‘Clause A—You sacrifice your amateur status if you ride a wheel for money, in the hire of any person or exhibit as a trick performer, act in capacity of trainer of athletes of any kind for pay, ride a race for a money prize, for a wager or for gate money. “Clause B—If you ride a race in which there are professional competitors. 1f you make pace for the above in public. Tn pub- lic shall be construed to be any perform- ance or event where sufficient advertising newspaper notices will be deemed sufficient) has been manifested to attract an audience. audience or spectators need not have admission to witness the event. A public road waere a number of spectators have gathered to witness the event may be considered in public. “Clause C—Selling or pawning for cash, exchanging for other merchandise or in any manner realizing cash on a prize. In short, the original prize must be retained. “Clavse D—If you take or accept any- thing in the way of expenses from any one except when competing at meets closed to a college or any number of colleges under the rales of the I. C. A. A. A. If you have received or are to receive money orders or ynerchandise for your expenses from a manufacturer or any one interested in the business of cycling you lose your status. Accepting compensation of any kind for riding a wheel. of a wheel or tires dealer. Entrance fees are expenses. If you wear upon racing suit, sweater, robe or any other article of track wearing ap- parel any advertising device of-any de- scription. “Clause E—Competing for a prize of mcre than $35 in value. “Clause F—Racing men employed in cycle establishments may be transferred to the professional class if the board is con- vinced that they are receiving any racing advantage by trade employment. No other evidence is necessary. “Clause G—Outside your own state, be- yond 100 miles of your legal residence. By this is meant you may ride in the state of ycur legal residence, and not be restricted. to the 100-mile limit, so long as it is within the boundaries of your own state. If you cress the line to go into an adjoining state, you must measure your distance by the 100-mile limit, starting from your legal residence. Special permits may be granted to men wishing to exceed the 100-mile limit upon application to the member of the na- ticnal board in charge of the state where you reside, who will send you a blank to fill out and swear to. If you qualify for the permit, you must keep exact account of your expenditures on each of these trips and render same sworn to at once after each trip to member granting permit. It was for a violation of this last para- graph that was the immediate cause of Al Meran’s transferral. The other riders who are to go are said to have violated many of the rules. Bs For the Pierce Trophy. A‘ team of riders from this city, probably Fred Schade, Charlie Gause and Em Wi!- son, will go to Baltimore tomorrow to race in the afternoon for the Pierce trophy cup. ‘They will represent the Columbia Athletic Club, and will be matched against teams of three men from the clubs of Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia. The cup is now in possession of the Clifton Wheel- men. of Baltimore, but Schade and his team vow they will bring it back to Washington before they are turned professional. Local bicycle racing affairs are becoming badly mixed and some interesting develop- ments are promised in the near future. Vengeance is proposed in some quarters for this wholesale transfer of the District's amateurs, ard there will likely be trouble. NATIONAL CIRCUIT RAGES. Finals Were Wheeled by Electric Light Last Night. Ideal weather favored the national circuit bicycle races at the Park Cycle Club track yesterday. An innovation in this city, run- ning the preliminartes in the afternoon and the finals under electric light, was success- fully introduced. Arthur Gardiner added another victory to his lead in the national championship by winning the event of the day in a hotly contested finish. Eddie Bald (professional) and Lee Counselman (amateur) rode exhi- bitions against time, but failed to lower the track record. The trials were run in the afternoon and the finals at night. Albert Mott, the chair- man of the racing board of the League of American Wheelmen, officiated in the even- ing as referee. His presence seemed to have a salutary effect upon the riders, es- pecially the amateurs, some of whom’ are now trembling in thei? boots expecting his official ax to fall upon their necks. in the afternoon the local referee officiated at the trials, Th finals at night proved interesting, es- pecially the first race, the one-mile local championship. ‘The race was not the L. A. W. championship, but was open to all riders living in the District. The time ot the race was quite slow, and it was gen- erally conceded that Wilson, who won the honor last year? would again win it. The surprise was great when Mueller, the blondeshaired racer, beat Wilson out at the tape by about a foot, with Smith a close third. All three of the men could have been covered with a blanket. Th> an- nouncement of the winner brought forth great applause. ‘The one-mile national championship, pro- fessional, was won by Arthur Gardiner, after a pretty sprint. Fred Sims came in fourth, which gives him two points in the score for the national championship. The final of the mile open was won by Schade in a pretty manner, with Wilson second. Dodge, who set the pace, was given third place. An excellent exhibition of trick riding was given by S. M. Howard, a young Washingtonian, who, among other exhibitions, rode around the track on a single wheel. His time was not taken. The most interesting final of the night was the two-mile handicap. Throop was the lead man, with 200 yards, and for five he held the lead. Sims did all in his keep the bunch back and allow the ington youth to win. Three or four times during the ride he took the lead and as many times did other riders jump ahead and start off at a faster gait. Nearly played out, Throop was overtaken at ntrance to the home stretch. To spectators it looked as though he was ing still when the bunch passed him. By a magnificent outburst of speed Sims crossed the tape in the lead, amid the cheers of every one. Reddington, with his big handicap, sue- 1 in winning the final of the half-mile handicap amateur. Gause kept after him to the end and finished second. Schade, seeing it to be a matter of impossibility to get a place, dropped out. The final of the half-mile handicap was a pretty race, which Kimble won handily. Mudd, with next to the limit handicap, sue ceeded in getting fourth place. The sum- mar: Fi First, one-mile D.

JURY. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. NEW SYSTEM ADOPTED. of notables to the place ¢ Attention of Court Called to Remark of a Witness. The rather unusual spectacle of a jury protesting to the presiding judge against alleged criticisms of them by a witness in a case they have tried was afforded in Criminal Court No. 1 before Chief Justice Bingham today. ° Robert E. Mattingly, a young lawyer and a well-known politician, arose before the regular proceedings began, and, addressing the chief justice, said: “Your honor, I arise to a question of the highest personal privilege and in behalf of the panel of jurymen who tried the case of Annie Duvall, whom I defended, in this court last week. If it is not contrary to the rules of court, and an interference in the proceedings, I want te draw your at- tention to the conduct of Policeman Flather, a witness for the government in that case. “I am informed that after the verdict of acquittal was rendered the policeman, while in te corridor outside the court room, re- marked in a very loud voice that the jury was ‘a pack of fools.’ He was overheard by Mr. Williams of the jury, who com- mented upon it to others of the jury stand- ing near. “It was a most extraordinary procedure and the’ jury feels aggrieved by the un- warranted and contemptuous words spoken in their hearing by the witness. The of- fense is aggravated because Flathers is a policeman and the words were uttered within the jurisdiction of this court. I would say most positively that they con- stitute contempt of court.” Chief Justice Bingham asked Mr. Mat- tingly if he intended to make formal charges, and the attorney said he has no personal interest in the matter outside of having been the lawye~ in the case, and that he only desired tu place the matter within the knowledge of thé court. “I think,” said the chief justice, “that the witness was possibly ‘thore than indis- creet_and intemperate im—his utterances, Had Flathers said an¥thiwg defamatory I would act at once. I with: however, take the matter under consideration.” The jurymen forming panel No. 2 are: Albert E. Acker, foreman; John May, Geo. erick, Wm. L. Star; Wm. B. Tip- pett, Jas. W. Williams, John Byrne, M. Roberts, Frank T. le, Robert $8. Barbee, P. G. Sauer, Henry L. Stine. —_+— Democratic Ticket ft Indiana.

It is understood that a syndicate has bought up all the purchasabl> land within a radius of a mile from the entrance to the Aqueduct bridge on the Virginia side, most of the property secured being unim- proved. In some cases only an option was taken on the property, due to the fact that no sale could be made outright on account of legal obstacles. The plans of the syndicate, so a Star re- porter has been informed, is to engage in building operations. It is thought Rosslyn will become quite a railroad and manufac- turing center. The crossing of the Aque- duct bridge by the electric cars is only regarded as a matter of a short time, and when tnis is done an easy and rapid means of ‘communication will be established. A charter for a city will again be applied for, despite the fact that the Virginia legis- lature a short time ago refused to pass such a bill. The location of the county court house, only a short distance from Rosslyn proper, is regarded as favorable®o develop- ment. E. F. Wilson, a conductor en one of the Georgetown and Tenleyiown electric cars, wtile coming to Georgetown on his car, and near Tenleytown, about 7:30 o'clock, was struck by another car going north and knocked from the running board. He was badly injured about the head, and was brought in on a special car. The patrol wagon met the car and took the injured man to the Emergency Hospital. Mr. John H. McDaniel of 1524 30th street is confined to his bed, his condition being very serious. He is a well-known citizen and has been il for several weeks. A peculiar accident happeved last night some time before 12 o’clock at the entrance to the Aqueduct bridge. An unloaded lum- ber wagon was occupying a part of the readway on the north side, the horses drinking from the iron watering basin. bicycle rider, who happened to pass by, dodged around the end of the wagon, for- getting. all about the pole which projected from the rear. A collision resulted, in which the bicycle rider took a header, and the bicycle itself went careening in an- other direction. Fearing that the wheel- man was injured a number of persons rushed to his rescue.. Fortunately, neither the man nor the wheel was damaged, and in a few minutes he remounted his silent steed and went away. The appointment of Dr. R. D. Mayer of this place as one of the surgeons of the District regiment of volunteers, now at Tampa, Fla., hus been the cause of a good deal of favorable comment. Since the an- nouncement of the appointment Dr. Mayer has received the congratulations of a num- ber of friends. He has held the position of physician to the poor for Georgetown for some months, but to accept his new com- mission he has resigned the office. > Responded to the Call. ‘The records of the adjutant general's of- fice of the War Department show that the actval number of officers and men muster- ed into the United States service under the President’s first call for 125,000 men rt Appropriation Bill Provides for Dis- trict Disbursing Officer. When the pending District appropriation bill becomes a law provision will have been made for a District disbursing offic=r. When that officer is appointed under the | provisions of the bill, and has qualified by giving a bond to the United States in the sum of $50,000, which bond is to be ap- pioved by the Commissioners of the Dis- trict and the Secr=tary of the Treasury and filed in the office of the latter, the Commis- sioners will be relieved of the task of sign- ing every month the thousands of checks with which the t2achers and other officers of the public schools, the members of the pelice and fire departments and many other employes of the District are paid. Th2 signing of these checks every month has not only been a matter of great an- noyance to the Commissioners, but in order to sign them they have been compelled to devote to the task a vast amount of time which should hav> been given to much more important matters. In fact, this work has almost daily interfered with the per- formance of their official duties, for many of the checks have come up for signature upon other than the regular pay days. But her2after the disbursing officer will, as is done in the departments of the general gov- ernment, disburse all moneys directly, as the advances im money after the first of the month will, upon th> requisition of the Commissioners, be to the disbursing officer instead of to them, he being requir2d to ac- count for the same, as is now required by law of the Commissioners. Under the new arrang>ment, not only will the Commissioners be relieved of this great task, but the great delay in the settling up of accounts between the Treasury Depart- ment and the Commission>rs whenever there is a change in the personnel of the board will also be obviated, as the accounts will then be with the disbursing officer. Under the existing law many payments are made direct to employes, the disburs:- ments being made by Mr. Hope Darneille, who is regarded, of course, as the District disbursing officer, although not so in law. The compensaticn of th> new disbursing officer is fixed at $2,500 a year, and should Mr. Darneille be promoted to the new posi- tion he would receive an Increase of $900 in salary. It is the gen2ral expectation at the District building that he will be so pro- moted, and it can be said on the best of authority that unless the Commissioners undergo a change of mind he will receive the appointment.
