Witness said the engine ran almost to 14th street betore it stopped. A lady whom witness thought was re ated to the boy ran out and attempted to pick him up. Had it not been for witness the lady wou!d probably have been run over by a freight train. Witness said the gates were down. He did not see the boy go un- der them. W. A.

The Gladmon cuse occupied the attention cf C ice Bingham in Circuit Court No. 1 yesterday. In this instance Mrs. Mar- garet B. Gladmon brought syit against her kusband, Dr, Edwin Gladmon, asking for temporary maintenance in the sum of $75 per month pending the proceedings for permavent alimony. Mrs. it for divorce against her husband v missed Jast April, and since that time has been living with her father’s family, supporting her two children, one of whom it is remenbered, Dr. Gladmon endeavored to get possession of recently. Mrs. Glad- mcn's attorneys claimed that the husband has quite a lucrative practice and is well able to pay the amount asked for. In answer, Dr. Glagmon says, through bis attorneys, that he is unable to pay St a month imony without borrowing money; that his practice has fallen off as a result of the charges made against him by nis wife. He offered, however, to pro- vide a home and support for her in the house where he also would live. Justice Bingham, in deciding the case, said the defendant's proposition to provide a home for his wife was a crude one and could be considered pro and con at some length. There were many questions in connestion with it that would have to be avswered, one, for instance, being whether the couple would live amicably or whether there would be continued wrangling. The demand for $75 alimony was just in this case, and he ordered that it be paid monthly to Mrs. Gladmon until the further order of the court —— Atlantic City and Return via B. and . 0. $5.00. 10 a.m. and 12:05 noon, Fri@ays and Sat- urdays.

Miss Parthenia Woodson has filed in the Supreme Court a petition for mandamus, seeking to compel the “Ladies’ United Reapers’ Benevolent Society” to receive her as a member, without restriction, and to reinstate and restore her to all the rights and privileges of membership. The society is a corporation, and among its objects is a provision to ald stek or disabled members or corpcrators in good standing, financially and spiritually, and to provide for their funeral expenses. Miss Woodson declares that she has been a member of the society for nineteen years, having held many offices during that term, never being “unfinancial” or in ar- rears or disqualified in any manner. She has not withdrawn from the society nor been guilty of immoral conduct. At a meeting in February her sister presented a claim for sick dues against the society, which was three times voted to her. Dur- ing the meeting the petitioner declared she thought the members should be allow- ed to vote without bias. Shortly after this she ‘received a letter from M. C. James, president of the society, In Which it was stated that an apology for her conduct at the meeting-must be made in public, else. she would be dismissed. At a subsequent meeting Miss Woodson ‘was dismissed without cause, she alleges, and hence she seeks to be reinstated. THANKS TO CONGRESS Board of Trade Expiésses Its Appreciation of Recent Legislation. Directors of Bonrd Adept Resolutions Question of License Laws Consid- ered—Letter of Commissioners. A meeting of the directors of the board of trade was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the board, 1410 G street north- west. The president, Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, was in the chair. The main pur- pose of the meeting at this time was to ex- press appreciation of the interest displayed by both houses of Congress during the ses- sion just closed in the affairs of the Dis- trict, as shown by the number of measures of District interest which had been enact- ed into laws:.Special reference was made to the fact that practically all the bills considered by the board and recommended for passage to Congress had become laws. As expressing in part the appreciation of the board of trade, a series of resolutions was adopted. The Expression. The resolutions are as follows: “Whereas, the board of trade, through its appropriate committees acting in accord- ance with the directions of the said board, has urged upon Congress at its present ses- sion the passage of legislation amendatory of the highway act, for the increase and purification of the District’s water supply, for carrying into effect the comprehensive system of sewage disposal, for the main- tenance of the free public library, for the reclamation of the Anacostia flats and for the development of manual training as part of the District's public educational tem and the erection of adequate man- ual training schools. “And whereas, Congress has responded wholly or in part to the arguments and a: peals of its District constituents on al these subjects, and has radically and bene- ficially amended the highway act, and has provided for the completion of the aque- duct tunnnel and for preliminary investi- gations pointing toward filtration of the Potomac water, and has taken significant steps, involving considerable expenditure, in the direction of the comprehensive tem of sewage disposal, and has provided for the maintenance of the free public li- brary, and has authorized the surveys pre- liminary to the rectamation of the Ana- ce ja flat: and has authorized the erec- hington of a large and credit- ual training school. efore, be it resolved, That the di- rectors of the board of trade extend the hearty thanks of the board and of the com- munity to their legislators who have so faithfully and wisely performed the duties assigned to them by the Constitution, and pecially to District committee of the two houses, and to the subcommittee of the appropriations committees in charge of the District appropriation bill, whose patient and intellig ors for the promotion of the capital's welfare are warmly and grate- fully appreciated. It was directed that copies of this reso- lution be sent to the president of the Sen- ate, the Speaker of the House, chairmen of the Senate and House District committees and chairmen of the subcommittees of t Senate and House appropriations commit- tees District Gleense Laws. A letier was received from the District Commissioners transmitting « letter, dated June 227 189%, addressed to the Commission- ers by Senator McMillan, chairman of the Senate District committee, on the subject of the license laws of the District, a 5 that the board of trade give this subject. The letter wa: the committee on taxation and Senator MeMillan’s letter is as “Lam in receipt of your le! 8, inciosing a communication office of the as: v of the Dis gard to the failure of real estate iake out Hcenses and showing the reasons therefor. It is quite evident from the let- ter that the law is systematically evaded by the people whom it was designed to reach aud is practicay tmeffective, so that it is an injustice to the conscientious agents who pay their license fee i! “in this connection I desire to call the at- tention of the Commissionérs to the whole subject of license fees in the District of Columbia, and would suggest that the Com- missioners give their consideration to the matter of legislation to amend the lieen: laws to make them correspond with those of other cities. Is there any reason why real egiate agents should pay-any license? Should not the license on carriages be lim- ited to $5, and should not drivers be licens- ed at a moderate sum simply for the pur- pose of regulation? It seems to me that the license on business should be simply for the purpose of regulation when necessary, and not to derive revenue. These are questions which I commend to the earnest consideration of the Commissioners.” — Bay Ridge and Return via B. and 0., Cents. referred gents to Salt-water bathing, fishing. er: ve bbing and am. and bo ting. ‘Trains le » p.m. week day at THE ADSEN Although Fr Funk, alias Nichol- son, alias Wilsc the alleged murderer of William A. Brooks, has been at large for some time, the police have not yet given up hope of capturing him. The authorities have now offered a reward of $260 for the apprehension of the fugitive, and a new circular issued by Inspector Mattingly gives a minute description of the accused man. While the reward, it is s d, is much less than most rewards offered in other jurisdictiors in similar cases, the police hope it will have the effect of caus ing extra efforts of officers elsewhere to catch the fugitive. It is s quarters that no information concerning Funk's whereabouts has been obtained. Since he left the hotel on Pennsylvan avenue the night of the murder he has successfully concealed “his movements. Now that Inspector Mattingly is making such strenuous efforts to ise his cap- ture, it is believed that some information cencerning the whereabouts of other es- caped murderers may be obtained. Dorsey Feultz, as well as the murderer of Shoe- maker Hall; Lucien Johnson, alleged slayer of King Howe; “Tootsey” Dudley, who kill- ed a girl in the “camp;” Frank Heideman, who Killed a colored friend, and Thomas Fitzgerald, alleged murderer of Grocer Draeger, are among the fugitives from this city. The pursuit of Dorsey Foultz and Lis reperied presence in several places. al the same time almost every day for sev- eral weeks after the crime was committed is still fresh in the minds of Washing- tonians. ‘The latest circular concerning Funk has been sent all over the country and to some other countries. Fuhk had stated, as was published in The Star vat the time of the murder, that he had a Gesire to go to the Klondike, and it wa the belief of the po- lice that he had statited: West. It was also believed he might havergone to see one of his wives, the one whe lives in Philadel- Fhia. Detective Weedon went there, as well as to Pittsburg; but no trace of the trvant was found. — One of the detectives interested in the case gave a Star reporter today his idea of hew the murder was eommitted. It was accomplished in a little room in which rub- bish and some tools :that might have been used by a carpentem-<were stored. The de- tective sald he thought: that, when Funk went to the house, he got “Pappy” Brooks to go in the room under the pretense that he wanted to borrow a saw or hatchet, and when he got inzthere he knocked him dcwn with the heavy ax. Then he called “Mammy” Brooks in, probably telling her that “Pappy” had fallen in a fit, and as sccn as she entered the door he made an effcrt to kill her. ~ Some of the officers have an’ idea that Funk has enlisted and gone to the front. ——__ $3 Special Rate to “Old Point,” $3 Norfolk, Va, Beach & Newport News.

Renee SAM JONES’ LIFE IN PERIL Insane Georgian Visits His Home With Murderous Intent. Claims the Evangelist Has Tried to Ruin Him—The Police Notified and Arrest Follows. An attempt was made a few days ago to assassinate Rev. Sam P. Jones, th> evan- gelist, well known in Washington, by a man who is believed to be insane, who went to Mr. Jones’ home, in Cartersville, Ga., for that purpose. The would-be assassin is a man named Riss2, a tailor by trade, who for thirteen years has been a resident of Atlanta. During this time he has frequent- ly heard Mr. Jones preach, Risse is said to be a Victim of the wildest sort of delu- sional insanity—what the experts call in- sanity paranolac. ‘The information in referenc? to the affair came to an intimate acquaintance of Mr. Jones here from a personal friend, who, after briefly referring to the affair, went on to say: “For nearly five years Risse has been ‘firmly convinced, he says, that Sam Jones was endeavoring to ruin his char- acter ahd his family. He has written many letters to him telling him that the matter must be settled, and when Mr. Jones re~ plied that it was all a mistake, the deluded man looked upon the disavowal as a sub- terfuge and a prevarication. Tells of His Wrongs. “Risse had told his family of the persecu- tion and had made them belive bi charges. Night and day he had talked to his wife and children of the great wrong Sam Jones was doing him. Finally, after five years of the imagined persecution, he made up his mind that h2 could bear it no longer, and went to Cartersville for the purpose of settling it once and for all, as he ‘Fortunately Mr. Jones was not at home. Jones received the man, and when he had gon2 away telegraphed the chief of police at Atlanta, and requested the chief of police at Cartersville to do the s sking him to arrest Ri s urned to his home. Both telegrams con- d the information that threatened to kill Mr. Jcnes, and a Risse reached Atlanta he was taken into custody and locked up at the police head- quarters. “Risse was Visited in his cell by several friends of Mr. Jones, one of whom asked him to mak tatement as to why he , and in reply 's of age and Ar wanted to kill the e he said: ‘I am forty have been in Atl Over five years - efforts to ruin m first thing he did was to tell my employers that I was im- plicated in some s' ng in their izht y for thirteen y; am-Jones bega was then trying to get a better situatidn nd that ruined me. Since then he has all my friends that I was a thief and ought to be run out of tow: I wrote him thirty-one letters, the fir d eighteen months ago. I kept writing and telling him that this thing bad to be tled, and that he had to let me alone. He replied only once, and then he wrote me a pack of lies saying that I we and that he had never tried to harm me, as he did not even know me. : ‘Of course, that was written just to throw me off the track, for after t kept up his mean work, hurting m acter all he could. I told him two wee! ago that I was going to Carte: je to see him, and today being the Fourth ef July anda holiday I just thought it about the time I could find to si and make him away that Jones h iile, I found d got ed and run aw: I met his wife and she told me Mr. Jon there, and then I knew he I had to come back to Atlanta but 5 cd if it had been his intention r.

Of course, no one who knows Mr. Jones wiil believe for a moment that there is any truth in the man’s, charges, but the ques tion has arisen what must be done w Ri Jones’ life will be in constant danger if the man is at large, and it is probable that Mr. Jones’ family will want Risse sent to an i ane asylum, “ If Risse is sent to an institution his wife and seven little children will be left to battle alone with the world in the hard iks of life, and foreseeing this some Jone: . s in Georgia have already at if her is h e?

The latter did not wish to prose- eute Mrs. Parkinson, but Judge Sceit de- cided that the interests of justice demanded punishment of the accused. During the quarter ended June SO the local detectives grrested fifteen persons for other jurisdi-tions. This is an exceptional- ly large number of errests of this kind. In each instanc> the priscner was turned over without dzlay. Local detectives do rot always find it an easy matter to get persons arr2sted in other jurisdictions.

APPLICATION DENIED. Justice Cole Denies Mandamu for by A. 0. Bliss. Justice Cole of Circuit Court No. 2 has decided to deny the writ of mandamus wked | prayed for by Alonzo O. Bliss, to compel the District Commissioners to issue a per- mit for a 110-foot hotel building on 16th street between K and L streets northwest. Mr. A. S. Worthington, counsel for Mr. Bliss, received a letter from Judge Cole this morning, in which it was stated that the application for mandamus would be de- nied, and that the official order of the court had been forwarded to the clerk of the Supreme Court, Mr. J. R. Young. Mr. Worthington, when seen by a re- porter for The Star, said the case would doubtless be taken to the Court of Appeals. Mr. Bliss applied to the Commtsstoners for a permit for a nine-story building 110 feet high. The permit was refused on the ground that the building regulations pre- vent the erection of a building on a resi- dent street in excess of ninety feet in height. The clause also restricts the height of business buildings to 110 feet, except on avenues 160 feet wide, when a maximum height of 130 feet is ullowed. Mr. Bliss contended that the exception as to avenues 160 feet wide should app alike to resident as well as business street and on this ground he asked for a man- damus, as 16th street at the point where he proposes to erect his hotel is 160 feet wide. No other feature of the regulation gone into at the hearing before Judge Cole last Saturday. a UNIQUE DOCUMENT? Will Written on the Back of Deposit Slip.
