ATTORNEY MADDOX MAKES SUGGESTION Large Crowd in Police Court An- ticipating the Trial. INTEREST 1] PROCEEDINGS ——-—__—__ Anticipating the trial of the race track al- leged gambling cases today, there was a rowd of race men in attendance in Judge court this morning. President Howland of the Washington Jockey Club and the members of the board of directo gainst whom a charge of per- mitting gaming on the Benning track was Kimball's Semuel filed last week, were present. Attorney Maddox, who represents them, in t early and said that beca an interview he had had with District Attor- ney Davis he understood the case was to go over until next week. Because of this understanding he directed his clients that need not remain. Later in the day Prosecuting Attorneys taker and Mullowny appeared in court and announced that they were ready to proceed with the trial. He had the witnesses called and all answered with the exception of one man, who had not been found. : ‘Mr. Maddox repeated that it was his im- pression earlier in the day that counsel for the government would agree to a postpone- ment, but ne admitted he had been mis- taken. In discussing the proposition for a continuance he said one phase of the mat- ter was presented to the grand jury imme- diately after the examinations in the Police Court, and he kad been advised that the d@ jury has the question still under con- eration. He thought it was manifestly improper to hear these cases the grand jury has acted upon the cases under consideration. Mr. Howland and the membe board of directors charged. he ‘ reputable citizens, who had every reason to believe that they were violating no law. ‘This, he said, they had been told by a for- mer district attorney, Mr. Birney, in a let- ter which is now on file in the Capitol.

A unique Thanksgiving dinner, divided into many parts, was given yesterday by Professor Geo. Wm. Cook of Howard Uni- versity. The cards of invitation were to the effect that one turkey dinner would be given to each guest, which the recipient should carry home, and that each should bring a can for stewed tomatoes. The hour specifi2d (11 o'clock) was not a fashionable one, neither were the guests in holiday attire, but perhaps no festive board in all the city was surrounded by persons with hearts so glad as were they who went in and out the basement door of “No. 5, Miner Hall.” The dinner consisted of soup, turkey, potatoes, turnips and squash. The dispenser of the charity carved the turkey and his wife, in fullsst sympathy with the movement, ‘stood by io see that ch plate was filled with all i: could hold. “aunties, most of the guesis were, came, bending under the weight of years.

The stock of gold in the United States increased in the five years $95,457,- 000. The increase in the gold holding of the banks of Australia, Canada and South America was about $15,000,000.

Assistant Secretary Allen has made a re- port to the Secretary of the Navy in regard to the purchase of ships and material, the naval reserve, etc., during the Spanish war. “What I wish to emphasize especially,” says Mr. Allen, “is the fact that no vessel was purchased until after it had been thor- oughly inspected and had béen pronounced thoroughly satisfactory by officers whose professioral training made’ them experts. Attention is called to the fact, which may not be generally known, that in tne purchase of these ‘vessels the same care for the government's interests on the financial ige was exercised as would be the c: Wit a private individual or forporation, with the effer:, in evary case. to make the best bargain possible. In the full tabulated Getailed statement which E have furnish: for your report, of the number of auxiliary vessels pure’ d, couprising the #rigin: name, the price asked, the peice recom- mended and the price finaMy paid, numer- ous instances will ve found where the cost to the department was very much less than the original price asked, sometimes, indeed less than the vrice at which the purcha: was recommended by the board, When w began the purchase of tHese ve: there was scarcely any competition, and it is pos- sible that prices were higher than could Lave been secured if 't had been practicable to wait until competition brought lower ficures. But it must be remembered that the law of suppiy and demand holds for the government as well as for private indi- viduals, and that true economy and_ the best interests of the guvernment made it the correct policy to pay a higher price for a vessel when her services were vitally needed rather then ty suffer the gove ment's interests to be rdized by w ing for a lower price. “Not very long after the purchasing began the competition ta supply ships became very active, and the ecpartment was then enabled to get versels at very reasonable prices. ated to the Government. n example of the generous patriot- ism of friends of the government at the time of its need it is a pleasure to record the fact that two of the vessels added to the auxillary fleet were the free and uncon- ditional gift of the owners, The Free Lance early In the war was offered by Mr. I. Augustus Schermerhorn, ted by the department, put into commission at once and excellent service throughout the war. The Buceaneer was generously given by Mr. W. R. Hearst, who also paid for the exterior alteration ry to fit her for service. Both th 3s were stored to their owners pre ble after th signing of the armistic The assis! i nt Secretary speaks in terms highest praise of the Naval War Colle which, he says, has rendered valuable serv- ice in stimulating our officers of high rank to professional advancement and in the col- lection and arrangement of professional in- formation, so as to render it of the highest value to our officers. He believes that the institute should be encouraged, and eve thing done to render it still more efficient and useful. To this end he says the most important step is the transfer of the col- lege from its present location at Newport to Annapolis, where it will form a pos graduate course for the Naval Academy The Naval Militia. Mr. Allen says that the naval militia s tem revealed the inherent weakn of its organic system under the severe stress of the demonstrated fact that the country is absolutely in need of a proper naval re- serve, which can be promptly mobilized un- der the call of the President. He says this reserve shoud be composed of seafaring men, whose status should be that of a body directly under control of the federal gov- ernment. About 8,000 men, in addition to those now in service, would be required to completely man our'navy when the’ ships under construction are completed, and even at present provision should be made for one- half of that number—4,009 men. These 4,600 reserve men could be enrolled from the na- val milidamen who saw service in the Span- ish war. The cost to the Wesiens would be $144,000. Statue to Admirgi Porter. Under the provisions of @n ‘act of Con- gress of May 4, 1898, a board was convened to consider the matter ofthe grection of a Statue to the late Admira) David D. Porter. ‘This board consisted of the, assistant secre- tary, Admiral Francis M.CRameay, retired, and Prof. Marshall Oliver.. Various meet- ings were held, but as th: were no funds available it was impossible to invite de- signs from sculptors.

Judge Kimball's numerous warnings to violators of law who use knives and razors have gone unheeded. by some persons, who are not satisfied to use their fists. The lat- est one to use a knife is Samuel Sydney, a young colored man, who: seems to have made an effort to whip the Wooden family. Nelson Wooden appeared in court this morning and complained that Sam had used a knife on his (Wooden’s) wife.

SENATOR HARRIS ON THE PROSPECTS Expects the President to Call an Extra Session. ——_>_—_ DECLINE OF SILVER VOTE ee Senator Harris of Kansas arrived in the city yesterday. Discussing the prospects of general legisiation at the coming session of Congress and the probability of an extra session, he said to a Star reporter: “Tremendous pressure is being brought to bear upon the President sor an extra ses- sion. All the sound money democrats of the country and thousands of republicans are clamoring for currency reform, and they want an extra session which shall be devoted to this subje I do not see how President McKinle: n conscientiously disregard the prayers of these people. The gold democrats were large instrumental in electing him and have been among his strongest supporters since he entered the White House. Mr. McKinley called an ex- tra session of the present Congress to satisfy the protective tariff advocates and secured the passage of the Dingley bill. Why should he not accommoé.te his cur- reney reform friends in the same manner and accord them special legisiation? = think it is idle to talk of the prespects of a currency bill being passed during the com- ing session of Congress. Secretary Gage’s ideas, as incorporated in the MeCicary bill, can never pass the Senate i ow con- stituted, and the advo orm must await the next Congré hoping to secure the passage of a bill.

The American liner New York, late United Stat2s auxiliary cruiser Harvard, will sail from New York Saturday, March 4, 1899, on a winter cruise among the West India Islands, including visits to th battlefields of the Spanish-American war. The proposed itinerary is as follows: Mole St. Nicholas, San Juan, Porto Rico; Char- lotte Amelia, St. Thomas; Bridgetown, Bar- badoes; Port of Spain, Trinidad; Fort de France, Martinique; St. Pierre, Martinique; Ponce, Porto Rico; Kingston, Jamaic: Gventanamo, Baiquiri, Sibonzy, Santiago.

A Few of the Special Features in To- orrow's Big Sapplemen The big literary supplement of The Sat- urday Star this week will contain an un- usually large number of special articles on subjects of more than local or passing in- terest. Writers of recognized ability have contributed of their best, and The Star's regular correspondents in London and Paris will tell for the benefit of its readers a great deal of what is going on or being dis- cussed in the European centers. There will, as usual, be an abundance of crisp and readable fiction. S. R. Crockett’s serial, “The Black Douglas,’ increases in interest as the story develops, and beside this there will be a capital short story of the sea by A. T. Quiller Couch, entitled “Captain Dick and Captain Jacka.” Cap- tain Jacka, bald as a coot and blind of one eye, was an earnest “Methody,” but old, and Captain Dick succeeded him in com- mand of the “Unity,” privateer, and or- dered him around like a stevedore’s dog. But Captain Jacka returned with as good a French prize as Captain Dick. The story is told in a particularily clever way, and is one of the best this popular author has yet written. Following are some of the other special features that deserve meation: FROM OTHER LANDS (Illustrated).
