Special Report to Be Made in the Case of Major Kirkman, Who ‘Was Dismissed. A large mail was received at the War De- partment today from Gen. Otis at Manila. It included the records of the proceedings of courts-martial In the cases of six com- missioned officers. The chief of these cases is that of Maj. George W. Kirkman, 49th Volunteer Infantry (captain, 234 Infantry), who was dismissed the service by order of Gen. Otis, on conviction by court-martial of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gen- tleman in having misbehaved on the jour- ney to the Philippines and after his arrival at Manila. It 1s alleged that the officer, while under the influence of liquor, offered indignities to Archbishop Chappelle of the Catholic Church, who was a passenger on the same transport from San Francisco. The other tases received are those of First Lieut. Robert C. Gregg, 49th Volun- teer Infantr¥; First Lieut. Clayton J. Bai- ley, 27th Infantry: First Lieut. John J. Foley, 30th Volunteer Infantry, and First Lieut. Harold Hammond, 9th Infantry. These officers were tried by courts-martial on various charges. Lieuts. Gregg and Bailey were convicted and sentenced to dis- missal and Lieuts. Foley and Hammond were acquitted. The sentence in each case was approved by Gen. Otis, commanding the military division of the Pacific, and were finally disposed of without submission to the authorities at Washington. The records have been sent to the War Department for file and record In the office of the judge ad- vocate general. Major Kirkman’s Case. At the Instance of the Secretary of War, Judge Advocate General Lieber will make a special report in the case of Maj. Kirk- man, which report will also have an im- portant bearing on the cases of Lieuts. Gregg and Bailey, as the same legal prin- ciple is involved in each of them. Gener- ally stated that inyolves the right and power of Gen. Otis to dismiss the off- cers without first receiving the sanction of the President as commander-in-chlef of the army. It is admitted that such power is conferred on generals commanding armies in the field in time of war, but It Is con- tended that no such condition existed at the time of the offenses alleged to have been committed by Maj. Kirkman. The friends of these officers insist that Gen. Qtis did nat have the power of finally approWng the sentence of a court-martial which carried dismissal. His action ap- pears to havé been taken under article 106 of the Articles of War, which reads: “In time of peace no sentence of court-martial directing dismissal of an officer shail be carried into execution until ft shall have been confirmed by the President.” It is asserted by the government, the friends of the dismissed officers claim, that a state of war doe t exist in the Philip- > the were tried. It Is ch is the case the ac- a) and the cases nt to the President. All officials vashington are interested in the opin- fon, which will be rendered by the judge advocate general on the point in dispute.

District Officinis Retarn From Trip to Other Cities. Dr. Wm. €. Woodward, the District health officer, and Mr. Warner Stutler, the superintendent of the street cleaning de- tment, have returned from Bridgeport, ‘onn., West Brighton, Staten Island and Wilmington, Del., respectively, where they inspected ecrematory plants of the Dixon Garbage Crematory Company. The erema- tories of this company are used by Mr. Zz; McGill of T: New York, whose proposal for col'ecting and the garbage, refuse in the per annum, the Commissioners. Dr. Woodward and Mr. Stutler had a conference with the Commisstoners today, explaining the results of their tour of in- spection. They will submit a written re- port upon the subject, which report, it 1s understood, will } ‘avorable to Mr. McGill. Mr. McGitl ged in other places in the e business, and has in- formed the Commissioners that in submit- ting his bid, which {s considered somewhat lower than usual, he knew just what he was doing, and that he ts prepared to give bond In any amount to secure from him a fnll performance of every specification in the contract. He proposes to construct two crematories. and more if necessary, and collect the waste and refuse and de stroy it in a manner such as the health of- shall deem best, and to the entire sat- isfuction of the authorities and the people of the District. As the Commissioners have rejected all bids but that of Mr. McGill, and as the re- port of Dr. Woodward and Mr. Stutler {fs expected to be favorable thereto, it Is be- lieved that the contract will be awarded to him. disposing of es and all other waste and city for the sum of $106,000 is now being considered’ by ge TO APOPLEXY.

WINDING “UP “ITS BUSINESS ‘WASHINGTON BRICK COMPANY TO GO OUT OF EXISTENCE. Meeting of Stockholders im Progress Today—Proposition for Purchase of Plant Considered. A meeting of the stockholders of the Washington Brick Company was neld this afternoon, though was not concluded when The Star's report closed. It was called by the trustees or directors in accordance with the instructions received at a meeting of the stockholders in January last, when the directors were instructed to take such steps as might be deemed necessary to close up the bustness of the company. Cen of the total output of the local brick*mar- ket, it is stated, is now being made by that company, and has been for the past fifteen years, yet it was reallzed that the clay on the property of the company, at Florida avenue and 15th street northeast, was nearly exhausted, and that, owing to the growth in the population of the Dis- trict, as well as the giving out of raw ma- terial, the days of brick making within the District were numbered. The directors of the Washington Brick Company had full power to act in regard to the property, but owing to the fact that a proposition to purchase the personal property of the company had been made by a new company, known as the New, Washington Brick Company, composed largely of the officers and directors of the old company, it was believed it would be better to have the stockholders act upon the proposition. The object of the meeting today was therefore to lay before them an offer of $50,000 for what is known as the personal property, which 1s the ma- chinery, buildings and good wil. It is no secret that the offer is looked upon with such favor by the stockholders that it will be accepted and that in a short time the Washington Brick Company will cease to be an active factor in the prick business. Payment of Indebtedness. It is proposed to use the money received from this sale to pay off the bonded in- dgbtedness of $50,000, which is secured in the property. When that is done the old company will have behind its stock of $200,- 000 nearly sixty acres of land, which lies between Florida avenue, Bladensburg road, Mount Olivet road and Trinidad avenue. The new company will continue the man- ufacture of brick at the present plant, as it is estimated there is a supply sufficient to last for about three months. At the end of that time it is expected the plant of the new company in Virginia near the end of the Long bridge will be ready for use and the manufactory will be transferred to that location, where about 216 acres of land have been purchased. It 1s not known what disposition will be made of the real estate owned by the Wash- ington Brick Company. but the president of the company, Mr. Theodore L. Holbrook, who is also the president of the new com- y, has ‘already recelyed a suggestion that an offer will be made fof the purchase of the property, the intention being to sub- divide it into building lots. New Company's Capitalization. The new company Is capitalized at $200,- 900 in stock and there will be an issue of $250,000 In bonds. The stockholders of the old company will be given an opportunity to subscribe for the bonds, and they will be given a bonus of 50 per cent in the stock, or one share for each bond. It is esti- mated that the proceeds of the sale of the bonds wil! be necessary to establish the new plant on a scale required for the amount of business which is expected to be done. The president, both of the old and the new companies, Mr, Holbrook, to whose executive management the success of the cordpany in the past ts fully credited, ex- ts to continue the business on the scale as heretofore. At present about one-half of the bricks made in this vicinity for the Jocal market come from the plants located at the Virginia end of the Long bridge. The Washingion Brick Company, of a total out- put last year of some sixty’ millions, made about fifteen millions, while the Herrell and the Miller yards, both located in this city, produced about an equal amount. The balance of the yards in this city turned out some five or six millions. It is ex- pected this year the total consumption of brick will be about one hundred million. os Will of Mrs, Jarboe Sustained. In the matter of the contested will case, involving the estate of the late Marcellfiia Jarboe, Justice Cole, sitting In the Probate Court, late yesterday afternoon directed the jury to report a verdict in favor of the caveatees. This sustains the will. The ec- tion of the court was based on the fallur of the caveators to produce sufficient ev dence to necessitate a defense. —— Evolution of Transportation. Mr. H. T. Newcomb, chief of the division of agriculture in the census office and lec- turer on transportation in the Columbian University, delivered a public lecture in the Civie Center course last evening on “The Evolution of Transportation.” He traced the remarkable development of rail- way and other transportation facilities during the present century, and spoke also of the progress which has been made in the ethics and finance of railway manage- ment. In this connection he paid a high tribute to Judge Knapp, chairman of the interstate commerce commission. On the subject of public ownership he expressed the opinion that such an experiment at the present time would be dangerous, whether from the political. or economic standpoint. At the meeting of the Social Science Club following the lecture Dr. Walter E. Weyl discuss After commenting upon some of the more striking statistics f railway development he threw out the tion that while great progress had n made there might be some features railway management still open be of present to criticism. Next Tuesday evening Mr. Newcomb wit lecture on the trust problem and Rev. Alex- ander Kent will open the discussion. The Central High School will be the meeting place, as usual, and no tickets of admis- sion will be required. - ——s—— Lutheran Literature. Arrangements have been made for Rev! Charles L.

Evening Star Bureau, No. 701 King Street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 2, 1900. ‘The number of prisoners at the clty jail has been considerably diminished during the past month. Several have been sen- tenced to terms in the state penitentiary end conveyed to Richmond and others have been dismissed. Of the two prisoners, Frank, alias “‘Nooks,”” Payne, and Thomas Elsey, both charged with murder, layne alone remains, Elsey having been found guilty of unintentional manslaughter and fined $5. The trial of Payne, who is under indictment for the murder of Thomas Bry- ant, has been set for next Monday. The commonwealth will doubtless conduct the prosecution on the ground that the alleged murder was of the first degree, requiring capital punishment. It {s expected that the case will be one of some interest. Dead Body Identified. The body found floating in the Potomac near Mattawoman Thursday last, and which was buried on the shore at that point, has been identified as that of Frank Ennis of this city, who was drowned about three weeks ago. As before stated in The Star, a few days after the drowning of Ennis a body was recovel from the waves, brought here and interred as that of young Ennis. On information furnished by river men concerning the second body found, Mrs. William Ennis, mother of the drowned youth, visited Mattawoman yes- terday. ‘om papers and other effects ex- amined Mrs. Ennis is convinced that the last body recovered is that of her son. It will probably be exhumed and reburied here. Entertainment and Receptio: ‘An entertainment and reception was given et the Methodist Protestant Church last night in honor of the new pastor, Rev.
