ROEMER IS ARRAIGNED;
PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
Judge Clark Fixes September 21 as the Date of the Trial of
the Special Patrolman Accused of Assault
ing Three Girls.
Special Patrolman T. Rcsser Roemcr was arraigned yesterday In the Court of Crim
inal Correction on charges of assault and battery preferred by Misses Ella Woody,
Roso Littleton and Nellie Keepler. employes of the Globe Shoe and Clothing Company.
He pleaded "not guilty," and Judge Clark fixed September 21 as the date for his trial.
Roemer Is out on bond furnished by Saloonkeeper Joseph Schuler. He retains his
position on the police force notwithstanding the nature of the charges against him.
Chief Campbell has persistently refused to suspend him pending trial.
Written charges by Captain Reynolds of "conduct unb-comlng an olllcer" will bring
Roemer before the Police Board probably before ha must appear in court. Secretary
Ward was unable to say yesterday when the beard would meet, but thought It would
do so before the end of this week. All depends upon when President Hawes returns
from Kentucky, where he went to attend the funeral of his mother.
Statements of the offenses charged against -Roemer and of the Indifferent attitude
of his superior officers follow:
CHARGES AGAI.NST nOEMEIt.
Roemer Is charged by three eminently
respectable joung women with having at
tacked them while on their way from work
on the night of September 1. They assert
that ho rushed up to them, threw his arms
around them and exclaimed. "You'll not
go home Just et. giriv." They screamed
and tried to get out of his grasp.
In the struggle, they wero dragged across
the paemcnt, one of them receiving
bruises by contact with a brick wall, and
haiing her dress badly torn. They wero
rescued from Roemer by two police officers
in uniform, who told the frightened girls to
"go home."
Thee brother officers made no report of
the affair to their superiors.
The assault was witnessed by several pe
destrians, among them well-known business
men. These w itnesses believe than Roemer
was under the Influence of liquor.
Further evidence to this effect Is given
by Glenn II. Melton, night watchman for
the American Express Company, whom
Roemer arrested within an hour after bis
attack on the young women.
All of these charges liavo been in Chief
Campbell's possession for mora than a
week.
BEATING CARPETS TO REDEEM
SHAWL PAWNED BY MISTAKE.
Weary Task of Darky Whom
Miss Roberts Sent to
a Dyer's.
DID NOT UNDERSTAND ORDERS.
Played Craps With Money and
Was Arrested, Returning at
LaSv in Deep Sorrow.
Somewhere In the city is a negro, Scotch
Sherlock by name, who worked until last
Saturday at No. 716 North Garrison avenue,
but who Is now wearily beating carpets In
an effort to raise J2 wherewith to get a val
uable silk shawl out of pawn.
Miss Minnie Roberts of the Garrison ave
nue address holds the ticket for the shawl,
whllo the article itself is now in a Franklin
avenue pawnshop as the result of a singular
train of circumstances.
Last Tuesday morning Miss Roberts called
at the Ninth District Police Station and re
quested tho arrest of Sherlock, to whom she
had intrusted the shawl the Saturday pre
vious. The negro had been instructed to
take the shawl to a dyer, but he had not re
turned Tuesday morning.
Testerday morning tho negro appeared at
the house In a very repentant frame of
mind, minus the shawl, but holding a pawn
ticket for $2, which ho presented to Miss
Roberts In its place. As no money accom
panied the ticket and as the shawl was
worth about J. she asked for an explana
tion, receiving a long-winded tale of dis
aster. According to her story, the negro claimed
that he had taken the shawl to a pawnshop
and had obtained $2 on it. believing that his
Instructions were to do so. Ho did not ex
plain how ha formed tho idea. Upon recelv

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Fulton. Mo.. Sept. 12. The eighty-fourth
session of Missouri annual conference of
the M. E. Church South convened here this
morning.The communion services wero held
on the previous morning. Bishop Gran
berry of Richmond, Va., called the confer
ence to order and conducted the opening
religious services, after which he requested
the secretary of the last session, Doctor
John D. Vlncll of St. Louis, to call the
roll.
Doctor John D. Vlncll waB elected secretary
of the conference for the thirty-seventh
time, and on his motion the Reverend S.
P. Cresap was elected his assistant and
Reverend H. C. Bond and Fielding Marven
were chosen statistical secretaries.
The conference resolved to meet at 8:20

The St. Louis Epworth League Union of

CHIEF CAMPBELL'S EXCUSES.
Captain Reynolds and Chief Campbell did
not learn of the assault on the young la
dies until they read of It in The Republic
the following morning. An investigation
was ordered, and Captain Reynolds filed
charges of 'conduct unbecoming an officer."
Chief Campbell had authority to suspend
Roemer pending a fuller Investigation of
tho case, but refused to do s.o, saying tho
charges were not serious enough to warrant
suspension.
At that time tho additional charge of
drunkenness had not been preferred, but
the Chief expressed his opinion that "It
Roemer attacked tho joung women he must
hae been drinking a little." Since then tho
Chief has had abundant eidence to confirm
his suspicion. Drinking on duty is a grave
offense for a patrolman, and the Invariable
rule has been prompt suspension, but Ree
nter was not suspended.
Chief Campbell now expresses the belief
that Roemer was not drinking when he as
saulted the young women, and says he be
lieves the officer simply made "an honest
ml'take."
This leaves Special Patrolman Roemer In
position to make further "honest mistakes"
at any time.
v
MISS MINNIE ROBERTS.
The game was going his way. he stated,
when the place was raided. Several of the
players were arrested and taken to the
Four Courts, where they were locked up
until Monday night. Monday evening he
managed to secure ball. He asserted that
he tried to communicate with his employers
while In the Four Courts, but In vain, and
dwelt proudly on the statement that he had
not lost a cent of the 2 belonging to Mls
Roberts In the craps game. He had had to
pay It out. however, to obtain his release.
The negro seemed to think that his not
having lost the money in the craps game
was sufficiently to his credit to relieve him
of any consequences of his act. Miss Rob
erts thought otherwise, howover. and sent
him out like a black knight-errant to col
lect the money somewhere and redeem her
shawl for her. Sherlock left the. house prom
ising to secure a job at beating carpets and
to redeem the shawl. But he seemed to con
sider himself the victim of circumstances
and lack of appreciation.
Investigation by the family revealed tho
fact that he really had secured employment
at beating carpets. The shawl which Is the
cause of all the trouble Is nn embroidered
silk affair and is highly prized by Its owner.

GREAT DEMAND FOR
COLISEUM TICKETS,
Extraordinary Interest Displayed
in the Reception to Mr. Bryan
Xext Saturday.
MANY HAVE OBTAINED BOXES.
Delegation of Presidential Candi
date's Schoolmates Coming From
Salem, 111., in a Special Car
Workmen to Attend.
Yesterday was a busy day at the head
quarters of the National Democratic Com
mittee of Commercial Travelers at the St.
Nicholas Hotel. The demand for ticket for
tho Bryan reception at the Coliseum Satur
day was something remarkable, exceeding
even the most sanguine expectations of the
committee. There wn3 a constant stream
of applicants from the moment the doors
opened In the morning until they closed Iato
at night, nnd on several occasions In tho
day the rrsh was so great that the extra
force of clerks was unable to keep tha
crowd moving, nnd dozens of anxious appli
cants stood in line for a half hour awattlng
their turn.
From jjrescnt indications, the attendanco
at the Coliseum on the night of Bryan'3
reception will be unprecendented. and will
set a record for future events of a similar
character. The managers of the affair are
gratified beyond measure at tho unexam
pled enthusiasm manifested in tho event by
people throughout the city and State. Tha
Interest displaced, they say, augurs well
not only for the overwhelming success of
the Democratic party in Missouri, but for
a national victory for J3ryan.
Nearly all of the boxes already have been
disposed of, and there remain only a few
choice locations which have not been
epoken for.
Among those who secured boxes jester
day are Morton Jourdan, Judge Qeorgo W.
Lubke, Doctor Lee Booghcr, T. R. Ballard,
Joseph W". Folk, Edward Butler. James J.
Butler, J. E. Caldwell. G. M. Branch. T. J.
ICelly. G. W. Smith, John A. Lee. L. H.
Fouche, Thomas llanlon and R. A. Hoff
man. Several of these have reserved two
or more boxes. Thomas S. Marshall, tho
well-known banker of Salem. 111., and
cousin of Bryan, has ordered seats reserved
for a party of twenty-live schoolmates and
boyhood friends of the Democratic leader,
who will come here in a special car.
Organisations That Will Attend.
Chairman Jump Is In receipt of communi
cations from a number of local organiza
tions, announcing that each will attend the
reception in a body. Among these are a
delegation of emploves of the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Company. 230 strong, who will
march to the Coliseum with a brass band;
200 emploves of the Simmons Hardware
Company: tho Hebrew Democratic Club. 100
strong; the Eighteenth Ward Democratic!
Club, 100 strong; nnd an organization from
De Soto, Mo., consisting of 200, mostly raU
road employes, who will march in a body
from Union Station.
The Executlvo Committee is now In con
sultation with Mr. Bryan with a view to
discovering his wishes In the matter of en
tertaining nim on the Sunday following the
reception. From what can be learned. It
Is Mr. Bryan's Intention to pass Sunday In
St. Louis preparatory to resuming his trip
to Kansas City. It is possible that Mr.
Bryan may prefer to spend the day In rest
and retirement, to recuperate and get In
condition for the labors of the ensuing week,
and If so the committee will respect his
wishes. From St. Louis he will go to Kan
sas City, where lie Is billed to speak Tues
day, via. Galena and Fort Scott, Kas. HO
will speak at St. Joseph Wednesday. The
State Committee had entertained a hope
that Mr. Bryan's Itinerary could be ar
ranged so that he could make the trip
across the State in daylight and speak from
the rear platform of the coach at stations
where stops were made, but this has been
found impracticable, as the special train
will leave here at night.
Business Honaes to Decorate.
Many of the wholesale merchants and
Jobbers along Washington avenue and
iroadway, on the route to be taken by Mr.
Brian's carriage from Union Station, have
nctllled Chairman Jump of their intention
to have their houses profusely and hand
somely decorated with the American colors
and bunting in honor of his visit. Tbe dec
orations will not be confined exclusively to
Democratic merchants, as many Repub
lican firms have declared their willingness
to recognise the Democratic leader's posi
tion among men by displaying the national
colors on their houses. Among these firms
1 Marx & Haas, strong supporters of Mc
Klnley, who were one of the first Repub
lican firms to announce that they would
thus honor Bryan.
Members of the Worklngmen's Bryan
Club will meet nt the headquarters. No. C04
Market street. Saturday night, and. headed
by a band, march to tbe Coliseum. A pre
liminary meeting of the club will be held

PRIVATE GAMES DO NOT GO.
Judge Imprisons a Man for Allow
ing Poker Playing in His House.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Sept. 12. A decision by
Judge Kimball of the District Police Court
in the case ot Edwin Facey, charged with
violating the gambling law in that he per
mitted a few friends to engage In a game
of poker in his house without having a
"rake off." was a surprise to many people
who enjoy playing poker for a pastime.
It was the contention of the defendant
that ho had not violated the law, because
he derived no benefit from the game. There
was no claim on the part of the prosecution
to the contrary. Judge Kimball held, how
ever, that there had been a violation ot
law and committed Facey to Jail In addition
to compelling him to pay a fine of $10.
Friends of the joung man promptly paid
the J10. but he had to go to Jail.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny, speak

Facey was sentenced had never been tested
in any court other than tbe Police Court,
Judge Kimball's holding, he said. Is In keep
ing with his decisions In other cases and
until a case is taken to tbe Court of Ap
peals nnd the Folic Court Is reversed, he
said. Judge Kimball would probably con
tinue to construe the law this way.
"It's an absurdity," said a well-known
member of the bar. "to say that a man can
not engage in a quiet game of poker in his
own home with nls friends, where there Is
no Intention to run a gambling-house. A
citizen certainly has some rights, and no
matter how a law is framed the courts can
do Justice to a citizen. In my opinion, any
law that deprives a man of such a right Is
