Nicholson, murder of William H. Brooks on or about on REQUISITION FOR FUNK Harvey Given to Convey It to Springfield Illinois. Miss Margaret Brooks to Go With Him to Insure Identification of the Prisoner, “Have Funk in custody here awaiting papers. Defendant fills printed description in almost every detai This information was received over wire by District Attorney Davis this morning from United States District Attorney Hum- phrey of the southern district of Illinois. Upon receipt of the information of the man’s arrest at Collinsville, District At- torney Davis called at the Department of Justice and arranged for the sending of a requisition to Springfield and also for the sending of a witness. Mr. Harvey Given of the district attorney’s office was selected as the bearer of the official papers, and Miss Margaret M. Brooks, daughter of the murdered man, will go with him to {identify the prisoner. ‘They will leave on a night train and will probably reach Springfield in time to appear in court Saturday morning. Speaking to a Star reporter Mr. Given said there was no certeinty that the man under arrest is the fugitive murderer. The Reerest approach to identification received here is contained in the dispatch quoted abeve. He judged from the disnatch that the prisoner had not admitted that he is Funk, and for this reason the taking of a witness to Sprngfield is rendered necessary. As the indictment charging murder was re- turned today, the Illinois authorities will be asked to deliver up the prisoner on this charge, should he be identified by Miss Brooks. Even if ne should admit his tdenti- ty before the arrival of the witness and requisition, nothing will probably be done in the case before their arrival, as the case is now in the hands of the United States authorities. No information was received yesterday from Mayor Mottershead of Collinsville, where the prisoner was arrested, although he had been wired for particulars. Detective Leaves. Detective Weedon was sent west yester- day by Major Sylvester. It was the ma- jer’s intention earlier In the day not to send him, because of the small amount of money appropriated, but later this program = changed. It is likely that Detective Weedon will reach Springtield this evening and he will probably swear out a warrant charging the prisoner with the murder, There Was Delay. Had the grand jury promptly completed the investigation of the case the requisition might have been in Springfield this morn- ing. The murder was committed the 23d of last month, and the next morning De- tective Lacy was before the grand jury h the blood-stained garments. He also had evidence to show that these garments, which were left in a hotel when Funk changed them for new ones, had been worn by Funk. Detective Phillips was also there to tell of the result of his investigation of the case. He had lead pencils which had been picked up in the Brooxs house, as well as several of the same make that he had found in Funk’s room in Mrs. Buckley’s bcarding house. The character of the blood on the clothing was questioned, and the zrand jury postponed final consideration of the case until a microscopist could make an examination of the blood stains. Noth- ing further was done in the matter, so far as is known, until yesterday, after the news of the arrest reached here. Then Dr. Edmend M. Schaeffer was called to the rescue and it was after he had finished his work that the grand jury returned a true ill. ‘The telegram received from District At- terney Humphrey this morning is the only ™ e thus far received that says any- tung about the question of fdentity, ex- cept the positive statement of Ma Mothershead: “I have Frank W.

At 1:15 o'clock this afternocn the grand Justice Hagner was presiding, and returned indictment against Frank W. Funk, otherwise called Frank W. Fink and Har- charging him with the June 23 of the present year. sistant District Attorney Shillington at made application for a bench warrant for the arrest of Funk. The bench warrant and requisition papers will be issued this afternoon, and Mr. Given will start soon afterward to the Illinols capital for the prisoner. The indictment charges that Funk as- saulted the aged Brooks on the head with a hatchet, inflicting mortal wounds, frac- tures and bruises from which the gaid Brooks instantly died. The murder, It is charged, was willful and with malice afore- thought. In the second count of the indiztment, it is charged that Funk, in his assault, also used a piece of iron, and In the third count it is charged that he used, in addition, seme instrument unknown to the grand jury. The witnesses examined by the grand jury were: Everett L. Phillips, Eéward J. Keefe, George T. McGlue of the police force, Detective Henry Lacey, Deputy Coroner Larkin W. Glazebrook, Dr. Wm. R. Maddox, George L. Larson, Samuel T. Smith, Jos. B. Johnston, Laura E. Cham- berlain, Wm. J. Fagan, Harry Burch, Jos. . Daw, John Lynn, Martha Brooks, So- phia Brown and Mary M. Brooks.

WIFE MAKES COMPLAINT. Mrs. John Ryder Accuses Husband of Iltreating Her. “I feel very good, thank you,” was what John Ryder said in Judge Scott's court to- day, when the clerk arraigned him on a charge of disorderly conduct. “You were not asked how you felt,” ex- plained the bailiff. “You are charged with disorderly conduct. Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Not guilty of that charge,” he answered. Judge Scott permitted Ryder's wife to make a statement against him, and she told a long story of his alleged intoxica- tion and abuse of her. Attorney S. T. Thomas told the court of the nolse he heard last night at the home of the Ryders on 20th street. He heard similar disturbances there before. Last night most of the noise was made by the woman screaming. “I would just as lief be in Jail as out,” said the defendant. He then recited a story of the many alleged abuses to which his wife had subjected him, and also told of her screaming to get him in trouble. “What made her begin the screaming?” Judge Scott asked. “Whisky,” he she answered, “and screams this way every time she goes over to Georgetow He was fined $25 or sixty days. Mrs. Ryder has entered suit for divorce against her husband. It is stated the cou- ple were wedded in Baltimore loss than a year ago, September 28, 1897, after a brief acquaintanceship. It is alleged that within three days after their marriage the com- plainant, without the shadow of a cause, was struck by her huspand, and thet he then inaugurated a course of cruel and In- human treatment towa her, which con- tinued with ever Increawn brutality down to May 20 last, when defendant threatened her life with an ax and locked her cut of the house, and numerous instances of ! treatment since are given. It is alleged that Ryder is quite wealthy, but allows his wife only a pittance for household purposes. Mrs. Ryder asks for divorce and alimony. ae AMUSEMENTS.

To the Editor of The Evening Starr If mine were the pen of a ready writer I would frame my thoughts in beautiful lan- guage. But the death of the young man (Mr. Eagle) has stirred every mother’s heart. At the inquest a young man rushes in and asserts that he and his friend (who dealt the blow) had only had four of five “beers; they were perfectly sober.” Ah, these Sabbath frolics! On Sundays tobac- co stores (where young men meet) are kept open, engagements are made and God’s holy day is desecrated, and many a young man who (otherwise) would be a comfort to loved ones is lured:away from home and all that is good and pure.

A hearing was given last evening at Ty- pegraphical Temple by President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, in pursuance of instructions from the exceu- tive council of the A. F. of L., for the pur- pose of ascertaining as far as possible the Political status of the residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia, which will be embodied in @ report to be submitted to the next na- tional convention of the American Federa- ticn of Labor at its meeting in Kansas City in December. In order to arrive at the facts, those rest- dents who are cpposed to suffrage here were also invited to attend, but, with the exception of Dr. Kirby, all those present were favorable to the proposition. The latter comprised Messrs. Milford Spohn and William Silver, representing the Cen- tral Labor Union; John P. Healy, vice president of the National Building Trades Council; Andrew Murray of the Local Building Trades Council, Thomas G, Hen- sey, R. J. Bell and Dr. T. E. Lee of t Central Citizens’ Suffrage Association. President Gompers stated that a resolu- tion protesting against the prevailing form of District government, and asking the as- sistance of the American Federation of Labor in the efforts of the residents to se- cure suffrage for the people, was submitted at the last convention of the American Federation of Labor at Nashville by the Central Labor Union of this city. He read the resolutions, which have been alreacy printed in The Star, and requested the rep- resentatives of the Jabor Interests to make ary statements they desired. Mr. William Stlver, the first to speak. said that the reason why the labor people of the District demanded suffrage was that under the present conditions of gov- ernment their interests were not constd- ered, and he cited several instances to prove that thig was so. Mr. Milford Spohn said an overwhelming majority of the wage earners of the Dis- trict are in favor of suffrage. He said that aside from the constituticnal principle involved an experience of a third of a cen- tury among the labor people of the District had convinced him that it was absolutely necessary for their industrial welfare to have the right to vote. He cited many instances in which the authorities in the employment of labor and the letting of contracts had antagonized the interests of those who, through organization, are striv- ing for better conditions, He further stated that as evidence of what he had asserted under the street contract system the employes were paid lower wages than were paid in any other city of the United States; that through competition of the District Commissioners in the matter of sticet paving an organization of pavers were forced to labor at a rate of 50 per cent below that paid for simflar work in private contracts. Mr. Spohn claimed that incidents of the recent discharge of a member of the Bricklayers’ Union, ac- companied by a peremptory order from the buliding inspector that the men should not be employed on any other District work was an outrage which would not be attempted in any city in the civilized world where the people had the right to vote. Mr. S. P. Healy said he could corrobor: all that had been said by Messrs. Silver and Spohn, and that the National Building Trades Council had heartily indorsed the resolutions of the Central Labor Union and would aid to the extent of its power in attaining the object sought. Mr. Thos. G. Hensey’s address was deyot- ed to the legal question involved. Dr. T. E. Lee confined his remarks to the subject of political patronage, which was distributed to persons outside of the District for political services elsewhere, while those residents of the District who devoted themselves to the best interests of their respective parties were not regard- ed because they had no vote. Dr. Kirby, who was present in opposition to the measure, retired before the close of the meeting and a messenger was sent to his home requesting his return, but he could not be found. At the conclusion of the hearing Presi- dent Gompers announced that he would ca!i another meeting in the near future and would specially invite several gentlemen who have been prominent in opposition to the suffrage movement to be present. —_—-_—_ COMPANY'S NEW STATION. Metropolitan Railway Improvement— The Annual Reports Made. Plans have been adopted by the manage- ment of the Metropolitan Railway Com- pany for the erection of a new and commo- dious passenger station at the terminus of their 9th street line, and bids for its con- struction were opened today by President Weaver and General Manager Coleman, and the result will be made known tomor- row. The new station will, so far as is con- sistent, conform in design with that now being built by the company in Georgetown, and which has already been fully described in The Star. Copies of the report of President Weaver and General Manager Coleman, which were made at the annual meeting of the stock- holders jast week, have been printed and distributed among those entitled to re- ceive them. President Weaver's report shows that the receipts during the previous twelve months were about $841,000; that the cars traveled 3,978,000 miles and carried almost 19.003 passengers. The increase in receipts over the previous year was large. In General Manager Coleman's report it was stated that the road bed and conduits were thoroughly inspected but a short time previous to the annual meeting and found to be in first-class condition; aiso, that the company has a complete equipment of all kinds, and the cars are kept in as perfect condition as possible. Every approved modern appliance for the prompt execu- tion of electrical car work has been in- joduced into the shops, it was stated, {n- cluding the grinding, boring and forcing on and off of wheels, During the year four mail cars were bullt at the shops, and the winter cars are being thoroughly overhaul- ed, So as to be ready for use as soon as the weather demands that a change be made. The entire Hne {ts inspected by a corps of experts each night after the cars cease to run. ——-~—-_— Week-End B. and 0.

The judge finally read the letter and then informed the young man that he had vio- lated the terms of it last night. “You are fined $2," concluded the judge, “and the next time it may be ten.” John McCarthy, a friend of Howe, was also complained against.

Policeman Vanderwalker of the fourth precinct visited the lumber yards and rarks in South Washington this morning about daybreak, and made nine arrests Three of his victims were colored and the others were white. Several of the men had been drinking, and one, named Smith, who was very much surprised at the na- ture of the charge filed against him in court this morning, said: “Judge, when I woke up I found myself asleep “How did you happen to be there?” in- quired the court. “I sat down to rest,” he answered, fell asleep.” “I was drunk,” said another s and when I fell on the lumber p couldn't get up.” A man with a black eye declared he had come here from Norfolk to enlist, and he expected to be mustered in toda: “Will they accept you with a black eye?” the court asked. “I was told they would,” was his an- swer. Another defendant, Dantel Shea, said he was a plumber, and had been working in the country. William Jones had slept on the lumber pile because 1t was too hot to go home. and he did not understand why he should be charged with vacrancy.
