PETTI AOTSOF OPPRESSION
Superintendent Churned wltli Laying
.Men Off for Tiilal Derelictions.
"Unfair Dtaerliiilnutlnn In Fuxor of
"Sealih" a rT Asulnst Union Men
Board ot Directors to Act.
ThJk differences between Superintendent
Botelcr and" the eiffployes of the Columbia
Ilnll,wav are notjmly not jot adjusted, but
upon Mr. Holder's part, they seem to be
growing more serious, and tho relations
btjwcen the. opposing forces are becoming
more (attained.
"The Charges filed against Mr. Botelcr
aro understood to bao been iuformally
considired by tho board of directors, but
declie action -was deferred until the mat
ter can come before the full board at the
regular meeting to be held ou the second
Tuesday -In .this month. The men have
been aEsurcd, It is htated, that they bball
bac a hearing at that time.
President Baker, it is alleged, called be
fore him come of tho men whose names
vicre appended to the charges and inter
rogated them concerning the allegations
made against the Mipenntendcnt.
INVESTIGATION PROBABLE.
Chkf Clerk .Adams was pre&ent, and the
statements of the employes were carefully
noted. This is regarded by the petition
ers s corroborate e of the belief that a
general investigation will be made.
Meanwhile, the men allege, Mr Botelcr
is htm lag by all the means at his command
to goad them to open revolt, lie is punish
ing conductors and gripmen for what they
cluim are the most trivial orfenses, and
instances of this alleged persecution are
g lven.
It is stated that Conductor Glasscock
was laid off and made to lose time for
talking to a pabR-nger; that another con
ductor of the same name suffered the same
pennlrv for resting on the rear end of
ins car, and the fact that he was at the
time suffering from rheumatism, con
tracted in the February blizzard, was
ignored For leaving home old transfers
on a table in tiie office Conductors Coo
per and Kelly v. ere both laid orf Con
ductor Jamison was accused of reading a
newspaper while on duty and of going in
side the car during the recent storm, and
he was made to lose time as a punishment.
CouductorMannel, for l)eing Inside of his car
during the same storm, was also laid ofr.
Conductor Bell was punished in the same
wav for leaning in the window of his car.
Grip in an Uidgeway was also laid off
for neglecting to fasten the gates ot his
car, in tho hurry of departure over the
line when his car was behind time
ALLEGED TINDICTTVENESS.
All these and other charges are dis
cussed among the force, and they at
tribute ir altogether to the vindictive
spirit of Botelcr, who, they say, is mak
ing good hib boast of making them "walk
the chalk" and "toe the mark." Jt is
further alleged that what Boteler does
jwt learn of the men's acts through his
"spj" lw obtains by driving along the
line, watching for little departures from
strict discipline upon which to baso his
arbitrarj methods of punishment.
Air. Boteler is said to have reprimanded
Gripmau Brown for having left his fender
up Investigation prmed that the car was
not equipped with a fender.
It is further alleged that a non union man
ran Ins car off the track, and was after
wards promoted to a conductor's place,
and when one nf the old employes did the
same thing he suffered the loss of a week's
wages.
TOND Or THE SCABS
There are, it Is claimed, sixteen scabs
new on tho line, and that these men are
basking In the superintendent's favor. The
union men believe Mr. Boteler's purpose is to
drive the union men either Into abject sub
mission to bis dictation oroff tho road, and
as proof of this they cite the fact that union
men have been laid off, one- or more each
day, for offenses similar to thoso above
enumerated, ever since they united wit h the
organization, while, on the other hand,
not a single non-union man has lost a day
for similar offenses
The emplojcs are patiently awaiting the
action of the board of directors. They
still claim that with a fair presentation of
their case the board will do them justice.
Tliy say the patrons of the road are in
sj mpathV with thnm in the controversy.and
that the company cannot fail to Eee that
Mr Boteler is practically alone in support
of the measures of oppression lie has been fit
to enforce against men w ho have been much
longer in the company's service t han lie lias.

HERTZ'S
Secretary Herbert Reproves Them
For Failing to Perform Duties.
Iaeutonmit Dorn'H Case Tulten nn tho
Opportunity to Xlnfoico u Uo&mhl
in "Wutchfuliiesfc. and Care.
Secretary Herbert has acted on the
findings of the couit-martial fceld at tho
Mare Island navy jard in, the cases of
Lieut. W. "W. Buchanan, division officer,
and Lieut. J". Bom, ordnance officer of
the Oljmpia, who were tried for culpable
neglect, resulting in an accident to a gun
and causing the death of Gunner Johnson.
Secretary Herbert approved the acquittal
of Buchanan, but lu tho case of Dorn dis
approed the findings of the court-martial,
which also acquitted him. Both men,
however, have been relieved from ar
rest and restored to duty, and there will
bo no further proceedings.
In rem sing to approve the findings
of the court in the case of Lieut. Born,
Secretary Herbert read quite a lecture
to naval officers. The accident was caused
by the failure of some one to fill the re
coil cylinder with liquid. The cylinder
was supposed to have been filled at Mare
Island. Daily inspection of the recoil
cylinder is required, though no particular
person is designated to make the inspection.
The Secretary sajs. "it canuot be that
on board a Uuited States man-of-war so
plain a regulation can be violated and no
one to blame." He quotes from the drill
book and ordnance instructions, showing
what is the duty on Bhip, ami continues
"It would be impracticable to pre
scribe in this book, or otherwise at the
Department, that each of the several
duties therein required to be performed
should be imposed upon some particular
person on board the ship. The Depart
ment can not approve a decision which
seems to hold that in a case like this
an ordnance officer is tint responsible
simply because the regulations do not so
declare in so many words.
"Responsibility and authority go to
gether. An orficec exercises control over
and superintendence of all who are be
neath him. ir duties are required to be
performed in his department of the ship,
it ib for him to perform them or bee that
others do.
"It is abundantly proven that the ac
cused was a faithful and zealous officer,
but fidelity and zeal in other directions
can not excuse such culpable negligence as
has been exhibited in this case."
LOOKING BKATH LS THE! FACE.
A .Man Thinks llo'd Better Die and
Take's Aconite.
A well dressed joung man apparently
not yet thirty years old, walked into
Campbell's drug store, at 40 Montgomery
street, in Jersey City, the other afternoon
and ordered a glass or vlchy, aays the New
1'ork Sun As he sipped it blowly he
mentioned to George W Best, the clerk,
that he was thinking of committing suicide
Best thought he was fooling and asked:
"What do jou want to do that for'"
"Well, 1 piess It's about time," said
the man "1 don't see much in life for
me any work 1 worked last winter in
a hotel in St Augustine, Fla.,and my wife
is now in an insane asjluni, and two of my
children have recently died Isu't that
a prettj tough record.'
Best, still thinking that the man was jok
ing, told him that he dldu t beheu in
suicide
"Well, I'm going to try it, anyway,"
said the stranger, as he walked out
He came back a few minutes later and
said to Best "If you were going to com
mit suicide, what method would you u&e"
.Would jou drown yourself or take poibou?"
The clerk answered his questiou b saj
ing that he wouldn't commit suicide at nil,
and advised the stranger to go away He
appeared so m earnest in his intention, how
e er, that Best spoke to a policeman who
was outside, and asked him to keep au eye
on him Hair an hour later the stranger
again came into the drug store and ordered
a glass of Muhy As he saw Best behind
tilt- counter, he raid
"Hello, tills is the same drug store I was
In before "
"Yes," replied Best, "and I see that
you are not dead yet "
TELEPHONY EXTRA OIIDIXARY.
Voice "Fl o Hundred Feet From Truiis;
mitterlleiirdClearhnt Other End.
The test of telephones at the Interior De
partment last evening showed some re
markable results. The new granular-carbon
microphone, designed by J. E Kcelyn, of
the "Western Telephone Construction Com
pany, Chicago, demonstrated the wonderful
sensitiveness of the telephone.
One instrument was placed near the F
street entrance and connection made to the
switchboard located in the basement, and
hence to another telephone. A gtiitlcman
then whispered into the transmitter of
the first mentioned telephone. The whisper
being perfectly audible. Thc,n the gentle
man proceeded to move awa from the tele
phone step by step, talking as he moved. He
walked out from the lobby to the main cor
ridor to the Seventh street corridor and
along the latter until opposite the superin
tendent's room, which is distant imlf the
length of the building.
At this point, about 300 feet distant from
the telephone, his voice was plainly taken
up by the instrument and transmitted to
the listener at the other end of the line.
The line of sound had to take the three
angles or the corridors. This is the most re
markable results in telephony ever effected.

It is reported that there are thirty cases

The Bureau or Legal Advice of Tho
Times, conducted by Messrs. Ralston &
Siddons, went into court yesterday for the
rirst time and bcored a point by winning its
first suit. The plaintiff was Mrs. Lucilla E
Barnes and the defendant Col! George II.
Ingrshani, a clerk in tLc "War Department.
Mrs. Barnes stated her case to the law
yers, and they advised her to bring suit.
Mrs. Barnes owned borne furniture .which
she rented out to Col. Ingraham without
making any sjieeific agreement as to the
rent to be paid. Alter the furniture had
been in ube for several months, and, as
shestated, considerably damaged and worn,
bhe was offered only $2 in payment ot
the rent. This did not strike Mrs. Barnes
as a fair consideration, bo she brought
suit to recover an equitable compensation.
TRIAL OF THE CASE.
The case came up before Justice Taj lor
jefeterday, Mr rratikhn II. Mackay ap
pearing for Mr Ingraham. The testi
mony of several pcrbons acquainted with
the values iu &uch cases was to the effect
that $20 would bc.af.iir rental There was,
however, an irreconcilable dispute as to
tho length of time the furniture was in
use The Justice took all things into con
aideratUui and ga-ve Judgment for Mrs.
Barnes 'far S10
It is not known whether there will be
an appeal from the Judgment ot the Jus
tice. This case is only a forerunner of others
to be tried at an early day.
"Whether It was that jesterday was the
eve of the Fourth of July, or the cases
are multiplying with alarming rapidity,
there was a big rush of business at the
bureau jesterday. Most of them are for
debts alleged to be due. small amounts to
those who owe them, but considerable
items to the poor creditors.
THROWN OUT BY HER LANDLORD.
One of the cases yesterday was that ot
a colored woman, who arrived post haste
to saj- that a landlord had dumped her
things out in the alley where she lived.
She wanted an Immediate Investigation.
It was one of the cases in which hurry
was of no avail. The complainant alleges
that the landlord's agent actually broke
into the house to effect the distress.
This part of her story, it true, may make
an interesting feature of the case.
The Shjlock clientele Is also increasing.
Quite a number bf them w 1th papers and
other evidences of fraud appeared jester-daj-.
but as jetjthere is nothing different
in the wajs and means of doing business
in these cases from the others, except in
one case, which will soon come to trial.
One of the Shjlock companies, it will be
shown, had one of the individual Sh lock's
securities and vice ersa. The poor man.
when he went to the companj to liorrow
money found there the deed ot trust he
had given to the Shjlock solo, and when
he went back t'p the latter he found the
deed of trust to the company. Truly, he
was between the devil and the deep blue
sea, the deil singular and plural.
NOT CONSdlOrS OF HIS ACTS.
Daniel T. Coleman to Bo Trented for
the Mqrphluo lluhlr.
Daniel T Cohman, rorty jenrs of age,
and a resident at No 1522 Thirtj'-seeond
street, was before Judge Kimball j esterday
charged with disorderly conduct.
James Coleman, a son of the prisoner,
appeared in court to say his father was a
Ma-ve to the morphine habit, and at times
he was dangerous
Policeman Bradley, of the Seventh pre
cinct, then stated that he knew that Mr.
Coleman was addict d to morphine, and
when arrested on complaint tried to hang
himself in thestation tell
The prisoner then went to the stand.
"My case is a peculiar one," said he,
half opening a pair of glassy eyes. "As
jour honor probably knows, at one time I
was in the Geological Sur'.ej as pho
tographer and MSiled manj climes and
altitudes. In time I contracted catarrh
of the stomach and the phjsician in the
party gave me morphine. In that way r
became a victim to the drug, and at times
am not conscious of what I do."

Mr. Coleman will he sent to a hospital
to be treated.

Tho jury in tho case agahibt Auffort and
Desmond for the burglarj-, in April, at the
"Washington Steamboat Companj 's office,
was locked up, disagreed at 0.30 o'clock
lost night. It is expected they will cbme in
at 11 o'clock this morning and poesibly
be discharged, If they have not jet reached
a verdict.
The witness, Marion Brandon, Harry
Candler's cook, w ho could not be got here
for the government, is now in custodj-, and
tho fact that her testimonj- will now be
available will be a reason for trjing the
case over again. It is understood th.it
when Judge Cole came down last night the
jury stood ten to two for acquittal.
Auffort's mother and sister and his wife,
with their three-j ear-old child, were at his
side in court jesterdaj' morning, when
Mr. Andrew Lipscomb began his speech for
tho defense.
MR. LIPSCOMB'S ARGUMENT
Mr. Lipscomb referred m sarcastic terms
to tho e Idence brought forward in this case
by the combined detective force ofWasbing
top. Some things indeed tuej had proved;
for instance, they showed that a robbery
had bsen committed, andthediscovenea they
had made with "Billy" "Williams as pilot
established bejond a doubt that Williams
had a hand in the job. Nobody denied these
facts.
But Williams' evidence contained every
essential fact alleged against Auffort and
Besniond. Without it the government had
nothing better to offer than the proof that
Besniond lfTed at Harrj Candler's m Jack
son Citj and Auifort Lad tried to get
changed at Orange, where he was on a
trading trip, some gold coin he had got m
selling a horse here.
Mr. Lipscomb dwelt at great length upon

reasonable to believe him in preference to

contradicted him. He asked the jurj- it

DISTRICT ATTORNEY BIRNEY'S CLOS
1NG
Mr Hirney, in closing for the govern
ment, asked the jury to put aside senti
meat and consider whether they believed
the defendants were party to the burglary
He said many of the witnesses against
Williams were from Jackson City, aud
some of them ery littlo lie tter than
Williams herself. He defended the po
lice and made good use of Mrs. William-'
testimony iu support of her husband's
story
Judge Cole charged tho jury that they
ought not to believe tho testimony of
Williams except where it was corroborated
by testimonj of circumstances. Thej'
might convict, hoeer, ecn if they found
no sufficient support of his story Ou
account of the recent roersal in the Le
Cointe case, by reason of his charge con
cerning a reasonable doubt, Judge Cole
simply told the jury that if thej had a
reasonable doubt of guilt they ehould ac
quit; he did not explain what constitutes
a reasonable doubt.
Marion Brandon, the witness wanted
bj the goernment, but who eluded tlie
officers for a time, was caught at Rich

yesterday afternoon by Beputy Marshal
Pleasanton. She spent tho night in jail
and will probably be brought before
Judge Cole this morning.

Second Step in the Litigation of
St. Mark's ChurGh Members.
EAMSHAW FACTION'S SIDE
It In Asserted That tho Torbert Side
Ha-v o No Legal TItle'to Back Their
Claims "Lade ot Klndllne. Is Com
plained of Source of tho Reaction
in tho Affulrn of the Purbilf.
The contest between two factions of
parishioners over the control of the prop
erty ot St. Mark's Church, at Third and
A streets northeast, will come up before
Chief Justice Bingham next Monday.
The answer to the suit brought bj- the
Torbert faction for possession ot the church
and the revenues was filed jesterday by
the Earnshaw partj'. It is claimed that the
plaintiffs have no legal title to be called
vestrjmen or wardens, and that Mr.
Torbert's records as registrar, upon which
the prosecution relies, are inaccurate and
unreliable, because Mr. Torbert did not
takea correctviewot his duties.
Mr. Torbert was registrar, it Is ad
mitted, during the jear prior to last Easter
Mondaj-, but did not strictly follow the
rules in enrolling the sevcatj-one members
whom lie enumerates as legal oters. It
follows that insignificant and technical
irregularities in the enrollment or other
members can not be used to exclude them
from their rights as voters.
IT IS ESSENTIALL YPREE.
As to the claim that pew renters and
contributors are qualified voters, it is
pointed out that St. Mark's is essentiailj
a "free church."
The assertion that twenty -one voters
were illegally dumped jnto tho meeting
which elected tho vestry now In control
is igorously combatted.
The quarrel over the Parkman Mission
and the "lay reader" is discussed at great
leugth, and the Torbert party, then in
control of the churclir is coudemned for
lack of kindliness in treatment of their
Tellow churchmembers in the complications
which then arose Tins was the true
source of tlie reaction, which partlj changed
the control of church affairs at the estry
election iu 18917
The men defeated at that time came np,
the answer saj-s, oer confident in 1&03
to "punish" their opponents at the elec
Hon a j ear before and were again defeated.
As a result they have pncipitated a
hurtful controversy and it has been brought
be-rore uie public in the newspapers to tlie
great detriment of church work and growth
DECISION SET TORTH.
The history of the election last Easter
Monday is given, tlie decision of the dio
cesan convention is set forth with the fact
that it was absolutely necessary to take
the funds out of Treasurer Marlow's hand?,
as well as to expel estrymen who refused
to act with the majoritj'
The placing new bolts in the doors of the
church is explained as merelv a precaution
against persons not in authority gaining
actual possession of the church. No per
son has been deprived of his legal right
to enter and uso the building.
Mr. J. Walter Cooksey, who- filed the5
answer, said.be was ready to go on with
the hearing of the case at once as it had
been arranged but Attorney W. A. Meloy,
for the prosecution, said ho had not ex
amined the answer, and was granted a
continuance to Julj- S.
