Washington City Presbytery's Request for a Hrief Creed. The W presbytery, at its session late afternoon, decided to submit an overture to the general assem- bly of the church, which meets soon at § Louis, for a new statement of the old creed. This action was taken after the entire day had been consumed in discussing the mat- ter from all si As stated in The § yesteri two overtures were presented to the local presbytery for adoption, one by Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Coy t, and another by Dr. Wal- Radcliffe of the New York Avenue an Church. Dr. Hamlin's over- ding as follows, was adopted by a te of 25 to 15 ‘The presbytery of Washington city, as- ial session at the Church nant on this 7th day of May, respectfully overtures the D. 900, venerable the general assembly of the Pres- byterian Church, in the United States of America, to convene Louls, Mo., on the 17t that by the appointment of a suitable committee, or in such other manner as in its wisdom may seem best, It take the necessary preliminary steps to secure at as early a day as possible the preparation of a brief, evangelical, {renic, Calvinistic creed; such creed to be a part of the con- stitution of the church, and to be sub- scribed by ministers, ruling elders and dea- cons in place of the Westminster symbols.” Dr. Radcliffe's overture simply suggested that the general assembly should appoint a committee to consider the matter of a re- statement of the doctrinal standards of the church, and to report to the next general assembly its recommendations on the sub- ject, either as to the issuance of an au- thoritative explanatory statement of the Preparation of a brief evangelical, irenic creed, setting forth the system of doctrine or to take such other action as the assem- bly may see fit. —— ee Alleged Cruelty. A case of alleged cruelty to a horse was yesterday evening brought to the atten- tion of the Anacostia police and Agent Wright of the Humane Society, and was investigated. The horse, which is said to have been an old one, was found lying helpless on Fort Stanton hill, with a num- ber of cuts and scratches on its body, and was thought to be in a dying condition after having been abandoned.

SYLVESTER WASHINGTON POLICH CHIEF DISs- CUSSES NEGLECT OF DUTY. Annual Session of Police Chiefs of United States and Canada at Cincinnati. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 8—Members of the Police Union, composed of the chiefs of police of the United States and Canada, who are guests of the city, met in annual session at the Grand Hotel this morning. Chief A. H. Leslle of Pittsburg, president of the association, called the meeting to or- der, with Chtef Harry Carr of Grand Rapids, secretary. Prominent among the chiefs is Major Rich- ard Sylvester of Washington. Although this 1s his second meeting with the union, he has been identified with the police bus!- ness of the national capital for so many years that he is well known. Several mem- bers of the union read papers on police questions. Major Sylvester read a paper before the union, his subject being “Neglect of Duty.” Major Sylvester said in par' The term “Neglect of Duty,” applied to the individual charged with the enforce- ment of the laws, is familiar to you all. I doubt if any one of you has escaped the charge at one time or another, no matter how strenuously you have labored to avoid it. It fs equally-a fact that you have made the same allegation against many of those over whom you have had supervision. Perhaps no harsher, and at times more necessary, charge is made than that which implies that a person has been guilty of the sin of omission. It may not be true, it may not have been intentional, yet the mere sug- stion carries with it pangs and fears which penetrate the heart. On the princi- ple that it is far more easy to tear down than it is to bulld up, persons of pride and character have long since learned -how long it takes to outlive the charge of “‘shortcom- ing." Many are disposed to elevate them- selves by destroying others, though it does not always follow that when one pulls down the pillars of the temple he finds profit in the debris. Human Nature Hevolts at Restraint. Human nature rebels against, offers re- sistance to those charged with its restraint. The disposition to be free, to pursue a course untrammeled, regardless of the rights of others, makes restraint necessary, and such conditions are controlled by laws and regulations which you have been select- ed to enforce. While you have agents to assist, you are not fully relieved of respon- sibility, as you are the brains, the director, the guiding star. When you please, you are gratified; when you displease, you are grieved. It has long since been determined, however, that you cannot please everybody. if you are intelligent, honest and energetic, you have not discriminated, but soon realize that many who were with you are opposed to you. You have done your duty, yet some persons, judging from their own standpoint, charge you with its neglect. It is useless to attempt to convince them of their mistake, because, while you are con- scious of having done right, such minds are not open to conviction, their interests hav- ing run against legal restraint. When charged with neglect of duty under such circumstances, being satisfied that you have been just, you are apt to get an undisturbed night's rest. If, under the law, you are subject to the orders of higher authority, and by such are Cenied the right of an independent inter- pretation of affairs, it matters not how ir- regular or how consistent such action may appear from your point of view, you may be charged with neglect of duty, and an attempt on your part to show that you have not discriminated, might be at the expense of your bread and butter. Silence, on the other hand, may carry with it, in a large measure, conviction. Then you suffer for the sins of others. Such conditions would so influence an honorable, sensitive man, that his prot ions, if not his res- ignation, would Hkely follow. A Police Should Be Kept Out of Politic The probability of such a condition of af- fairs occurring accentuates the claim that to secure a pure, consclentious police ad- ministration, it must be segregated from machine influences. That police institution which {3 divorced from politics and al- lewed to proceed tn its legitimate field, with a@ capable and honest head, who will stand by right and permit no wrong, can be de- pended upon to insure security of person and enjoyment of property. All other de- partments of the state—the courts, the schools, the collector of taxes, the assessor of values, must lean upon it. It is the balance wheel which should be kept in mo- tion by a confiding public, and its chief should have no fear of the charge, “Neg- lect of dut He should know the. laws and enforce them justly yet firmly; be hon. est and the people and his force—it ; should look for a wa his fellow man, not for a to crush him; rquainting himself should be charitable, th the proyerb, “A kind word turneth away wrath,” and the maxim, “It is easier to kill with kind- ness than ft is with the club.” He should remember that brains are worth more than brawn, although the latter is very often a@ necessity. Among the questions of interest to be de- b is the proposed transfer of the bu- reau of Identification from Chicago to Washington. In Chicago the bureau re- celved the support of the state of Illinol while in,W receive the ment. rei nington it would undoubted support of the general govern Attorney General Griggs has al- ly given his indorsement of the bureau, and it jis stated he desires that its head- quarters shall be removed to the national capital. . ——+~++—___ CONDENSED LOCALS.

CENTRAL LAB eR Ee OR UNION] AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA ARHOPENING OF ARSENAL GROUNDS|R. EH. LER AMP, CONFEDERATE ON SUNDAYS REQUESTED. VETERANS, IN SESSION. Thanks of Letter Carriers—Treasury {A*F@mgements Made for Decoration Officials Promise to Lavestigate Chi — ot! Buiness, aon ket At the meeting last evening of the Cen- tral Labor Union the closing of the Arsenal grounds to the public Sunday was re- ported, and a resolution.waa adopted set- ting forth that as the city of Washington is known for {ts beauty and beautiful parks and government reservations, and that the women and children have in the past, in suitable weather, availed themselves of the opportunities of delightful outing in ‘these reservations, and that as for years past it has been the custom of the custodians of these government reservations to keep the same open seven days tn the week, and resolving that the secretary of the Central Labor Unton be instructed to inform the Secretary of War that the Arsenal grounds, through the action of Major Greenough or some other army officer in charge, have been closed to the public on Sunday—some- thing that has never heretofore been done— and that the Central Labor Union favors the opening of these grounds to the public on that and other days of the week, in the absence of fevers or other contagious dis- eases, and the Secretary of War fs re- quested to keep the Arsenal grounds open to the public. A communication was read from E. T. Cantwell, secretary of the National Asso- ciation of Letter Carriers, expressing, on behalf of the letter carriers of the United States, the thanks of that organization to the Central Labor Union for its indorse- ment of the bill providing for the increase of the pay of letter carriers, which is now pending in Congress. Will Be Investigated. A letter was also read from T. F. Swayze, chief clerk of the Treasury Department, acknowledging the receipt of a letter from Secretary Brinkman, which alleged that the contractor who has the sewing and laying of carpets for that department, is violating the eight-hour Jaw. Mr. Swayze iriformed the union that the matter will be thoroughly investigated. The bill recently introdueed in the House which provides for a uniform wage scale of $2 per day for unskilled laborers in the employ of the government was indorsed and referred to the legislative committee. It was reported that a called meeting of the Building Trades’ Council was held last Tuesday, and that steps were taken to con- tinue the body, which will be composed ex- clusively of trades union organizations hav- ing national alliances. After a full discus- sion of the status of the local building trades It was deemed advisable to recog- nize a council composed of legitimate or- ganizations, having national affiliation con- sistent with the principle of the National Building ‘Trades’ Council. It was an- nounced thut the council will meet every Tuesday evening in the future. Mr. A. L. Dahler was elected fraternal delegate to represent the Central Labor Union in that bedy. E Insane Asylum Attendants. The legislative committee reported rela- tive to the bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Mudd, on March 27, which proposed to regulate the pay and hours of services of attendants at the Gov- ernment Hospital for the Insane. The com- mittee stated that since April 10 the bill has been in the hands of Secretary Hitch- cock, who is opposed to the measure and probably will not report during the present session of Congress. Anticipating a hearing before the District committee of the House, to whom the Dill was referred, the committee has collected considerabje data bearing upon the matter, which, they state, they are “desirous of submitting to the District committee, if Secretary Hitchcock will permit the com- mittee to consider the meusure.” In the meantime a statement will be prepared giv- ing in detail the conditions of service of the attendauts at the hospital, which will be forwarded to the District committees of the Senate and House and also be given gen- eral publication. ———— MOTORMEN FINED. Were Arraigned for Running Cars at Excessive Speed. Four motormen who are employed on the Anacostia branch of the Washington Trac- tion system were defendants in Judge. Scott's court this morning, charged with violating the law regulating the speed of electric cars. They were Emory Sydnor, John Sand, V Green and Quinton Jus- tice. Bicycle Policeman Cornwell of the fourth precinct preferred the charges against the defendants. It was alleged in the informations filed that their cars ex- ceeded the speed specitied in the law—twelve miles an hour, The officer explained that he was detailed to wateh the cars on Canal street last Fri- day. He timed the cars and said they ran at the rate of nineteen to twenty-three miles an hour, and as fast at street cross- ings as they did between the streets. “If these men obey the law, on the one hand,” said Mr. Carrington, who represent- ed the defendants, “they are punished; and if, on the other hand, they violate it they are punished. He explained that the motormen are re- quired to run on schedule time, and time lost on one part of the line has to be made up on another part. When their cars are behind the schedule the motormen are sometimes laid off. Most of them, he said, have families and the loss of work in this way is a hardship to them. In their own defense the motormen stated that they had no means of determining the speed, and it was their idea that they had not violated the law. They contended that they did slow down at street crossings. Judge Scott, in commenting on the case, said the law was an important one and should be enforced. The fast running of cars, the judge said, is liable to result in accidents and deaths, and the observance of the law, he thought, would decrease the number of suits against the company as well as protect the general public. The judge reminded the motormen of the great responsibility that rests upon them, and said he realized that they were at a great disadvantage in not having an instrument to gauge the speed of their cars. It Is diffi- cult, the court said, to tell just what should be done in these cases. The defend- ants were fined $3 each, and Judge Scott said he hoped his action would be a suf- ficlent warning to them not to exceed in the future the speed limit fixed by the law. —_>—_— Preachers Choose Officers. At the annual session of the Washington Preachers’ Meeting of the Methodist Kpis- copal Church, held yesterday, the foilow- ing officers were elected for the ensuing year: Alex.

Stanley Arnold Reade, three and one-half years old, had his hand severely cut yester- day afternoon while playing with a broken bottle. The surgeons at the Casualty Hos- Pital dressed the injury, They found tt necessary to pick a number of pieces of glass from the wound and then put in a number of stitches. When the operation was completed the young patient was taken to the home of his parents, No. 1207 B street southeast. ————_—_ Politicians on Way to Hyattsville.

The committee on light met last evening in the office of the clerk of gas to investl- gate charges against City Electrician Kirby, who, it was alleged, had appropriated wire belonging to private parties for the city’s use in the construction of a street electric Mght. Mr. Kirby appeared before the committee and admitted that some wire had been taken by his orders from a line belonging to Mr. B. F. Burroughs. Mr. Kirby stated that at the time he saw no impropriety in using the wire, which was then out of use, and which he intended to replace. He said the wire taken had been employed in plac- ing an electric lamp at the intersection of Lee and Jefferson streets. Furthermore, Mr. Kirby pointed out that the removal was made in the daytime. Several other witnesses were examined, and their testi- mony was substantially the same as that of Mr. Kirby. A motion to remove the city electrician was defeated. Local Company Chartered.

The meeting of the Columbia Historical Society last evening at the Shoreham was largely attended. As this was the last time the members will come together prior to the summer vacation the president of the society, Mr. John A. Kasson, took oceasion to speak of the past year, which, he said, had been the most successful in the history of the society. He said the public interest in the aims and objects of the society had increased, as shown by the larger number that came to the meetings and the addition of new members to the rolls. The society had issued, as usual, a volume of publica- tions, and had, in addition, defrayed the cost of preparing a catalogue of printed matter relating to the District, which was now in the hands of the printer and would soon be issued in book form. It was an encouraging evidence, he added, of the financial conndition of the society that in spite of these drains upon its resources the year was closed with a balance in the treasury. He bespoke for the society the interest and the assistance of the citizens in enabling it to carry out its plans, which in part contemplated the publication of ma- terial relating to the District, much of which was still in manuscript form. The first paper of the evening was read by Mr. Appleton P. Clark, jr., upon the origin of the building regulations of the city, in which he demonstrated for the first time the interesting fact that the building regulations, as announced by order of Gen- eral Washington in 1791, were based upon those of the city of Philadelphia. Mr. Clark also showed that the ideas of L’En- fant, the French engineer, were used in framing some of the regulations. Mrs. Harriet Riddle Davis read a paper giving an incident connected with the as- sassination of President Lincoln, in which she told with dramatic power an experience of her own childhood in the capital city. Her description of the city during the war times was of special interest. The paper held the close attention of the audience. —_>—_—_. SERVICES RECOGNIZED.

Moody was held last even- ing in the-chapel of the Church of the Covenant for the purpose of considering the best plan for securing the co-operation of these in this city interested in endowing the schcols established by Mr. Moody at Northfield, Mass., and thus perpetuating them as a memorial of the great evangel- ist. It is believed that no more appropriate tribute to the name and fame of Mr. Moody can be made than the placing of the insti- tutions which Mr. Moody founded, and with which so much of the effort of his later years was identified, upon a substantial feundation. Contributions to a fund for this purpose are being received throughout the country, and, in fact, wherever Mr. Moody was known, and the conference last evening was for the purpose of giving form and shape to the local efforts along the same lines. . It was suggested that a statement be sent to each minister in the city of the purpose of the fund, with a request that a mention be made of it in the pulpit. Another meet- ing will be held in the fall. ‘Among those present were: Rev. Luther B. Wilson of Foundry Methodist Church, Rev. Joseph Kelly of the Fourth Presby- terlan Church, Rev. F. D. Powers of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, Rev. J. G. Butler of the Luther Place Memorial Church, Rev. Randolph H, McKim of the Hamlin of the Church of the Covenant, Rev. 8. M.
