He seemed anxious for a fight, although his appearance indicated that he had been worsted before Policeman New kirk found him. This morning, when he ap- peared in Judge Scott's court, he was recognized as a man who had been there several times during as many weeks, and had given his name as James Jordan. When he was before the court a few days ago he said he wanted to return to his home in Indianapolis, and the court released him. He returned a few days la and when he appeared the thi time within a week he was sent do Yesterday he was released from prison by order of the court, and he celebrated his good fortune by getting drunk. “I'm a newspaper man,” he said last night when he reached the police station, “and was sent here from the Palmer House.” When Judge Scott had heard the evidence Jordan made h “T was drunk and was not responsible,” he sald. Judge Scott did not excuse him on ac- count of drunkenness, but fined him $25, with the privilege of serving four months on the farm. — Held for Grand Jury's Action. The case of Charles Washington and John Chapman, who participated in a row in a house in Pierce's court, South Washing- ton, about ten days ago, as published in The Star at the time, was tried in Judge Kim- ball’s court today. The men had a quar- rel and Chapman, who did not want to fight, started to leave the house. About the time he reached the door Washington cut him across the back near the shoulder blade. A second cut was made in his neck. Washington was struck with a cup after he had used the knife. Policeman Cowne arrested Washington and removed the wounded man io the Emergency Hospital. He told the judge that the wound in Chapman's back was large enough for him to put his hand in. Ten stitches were taken in the wound. The case s sent to the grand jury, Washington's bond was fixed at $1,000. ae Col. Bingham Baried. Funeral services over the remains of the late Col. Lafayette Bingham were held yes- terday afternoon from the family residence, 924 G street. The interment was at Arling- ton and was under the direction of Burn- side Post, G. A. R. Rev. Dr. Elliott, rector of Ascension Church, officiated. eS Enters a Denial. “I fear you were too drunk to know what you were doing,” Judge Scott told Walter Johnson, colored, when he had made a denial of a charge of disorderly conduct. “Yes I did know what I was doing,” Johnson. “I had my right mind.” “Then that makes it much worse.” “Johnson was drunk and profane on the street last night,” Policeman Burlingame said, “and attempted to hug a lady. She did not want to prosecute him, however, and I charged him with disorderly con- duct.” A fine of $10 was imposed. —— Settled Out of The well-known will case, involving the estate of the late William Fletcher, has been settled out of court. The matter was in dispute for more than five years in the Supreme Court of the District and the Dis- trict Court of Appeals. Steps were made in the direction of carrving it to the Su- Preme Court of the United States, and it would soon have been called for argument before that body, but an amicable conclu- sion was reached by the litigants. —_.—__ Convicted of Larceny. Loumitta Pinnick, colored, who had been Indicted for larceny from the person, wac convicted yesterday afternoon in Criminal and said CENTRAL LABOR UNION. Preparations © Defense in Alleged Conspiracy Case. At the regular weekly meeting last even- ing of the Central Labor Union, President Szegedy presided. Mr. J. L. Feeney, the secretary, was absent, having gone home to vote, and his place was taken by Mr. J F. McCormick. A communication was read from C. M. Emrich, secretary of the joint defense com- mittee, stating that a meeting of the com- mittee would be held Wednesday evening of this week; also that the indicted labor men will be arraigned in Judge Bradley's court in the near future. The union in considering the matter of the funds which have been received from various organizations throughout the coun- try to be applied to the defense labor men, expressed a desire that mmittee which has charge of the would make a full report on the subject at an early day. A member of the committee who was a joint depositor of the fund, stated that all monies received had been deposited with the Washington Loan and Trust Company, subject to check of the joint committee, to defray the legitimate expenses of the de- fense, and that a full renort of the sum on hand would be made to the committee of Central Labor Union at the proper time. The Labor day that a final report would be made, probably xeursion committee stated within the next week, after a meeting of the committee, and the reception by it from the joint auditors of the Building Trades Counell and Central Labor Union, The delegate from the Bakers and Con- fectioners’ Union stated that the agitation of the question of the price of bread was being considered by his organization, and also by the employing bakers, and that It was probable that a report from the Rakers and Confectioners’ Union to the Central Labor Unton will be made at the meeting next week. Referring to the report mentioned that the question of a reduction in the price of bread is being agitated, a prominent mem- ber of the Bakers and Confectioners’ Union said today: “It is possible that if there is a reduction in the price of bread to 4 cents a loaf it may involve the rate of wages now paid the union journeymen bakers, “If the bakers reduce the price throuh competition of the cheaper bakeries or through public demand, they may make an effort to retain their present profit: by either requiring their employes to work longer hours at the present rate of wages or reduce the wages “In either event, it is sald, the journey- men will refuse to accept the terms a trouble will ensue. The journeymen co’ tend that if the employing bakers coul reatize a handsome profit by selling bread at 4 cents per loaf when flour was 100 per cent higher than it is now, without inter- fering with their wages and hours, they would not be justitied in interfering with the present rate of hours and wages of the journeymen, even if forced to sell bread at a reduction of 1 cent. “In this opinion the members of organized labor generally are agreed, and they will be in sympathy with any effort the Jour- neymen bakers may mak» to resist a re- duction of their wages. The ter, should it come to an tssue, will involve a prinei- ple of trades organization of far more im- portance to the membership than the re- duction of one cont a loaf per head. “It is contended by those immediately interested that if bread is sold to the retail dealer for three cents the profits of the bak=r would be fully as large at the pres- ent low price of flour as they were wien the same grade of flour sold at $8 or $ per barrel. For this reason a reduction of the wages of the journeymen bakers wi!l bs resisted by them, and they will be support- ed by local organized labor. t is understood the journeymen’s or- ganizaticn and the Bakers’ Exchange will soon consider the matter of the reduction of the price of bread, and the extent to which it will affect the present labor con- ditions in the bakerie: eee Additional is Filed. Additional suits for injunction to restrain the removal of telephone instruments from their respective establishments were this afternoon filed by Henry W. Offutt, Wm. i.
