Three persons were named as defendants
In the District branch of the Police Court
today on separate charges of violating the
speed law with their automobiles. In neith
er case did they stand trial, each being
permitted to forfeit a small amount of col
lateral. The lowest was Jl, forfeited by
Kmll Grumfehlt. Charles K. Miller and

CHARGES OF VAGRANCY.
Man Who Wanted to Sleep In Church
Few?Disorderly Conduct
Cases.
There were thirty-nine persons In the
dock In the District branch of the Police
Court this morning when Judge Scott took
his seat on the bench at !>:.*> o'clock, the
hour at which court is scheduled to con
vene. It was not until twenty-five minutes
later that the first case was called, the de
lay being occasioned by the absence of
Prosecutor Pugh, who was detained in his
office by a press of business.
The first in line was William Thompson,
a colored man, who was arraigned on a
charge of vagrancy.
"He was bogging on D street southeast,
Saturday night." was all that the police
man who arrested the man had to say.
"What have you got there?" the court
asked the man. noticing a large bundle
under his arm.
"Several shirts and a new hat," he re
plied.
"Were you bogging Saturday night?"
the man was asked by his honor.
"No. sir I was only asking my way to
the I.ong bridge."
"What for?" Mr. Pugh asked.
"I lives over at the other end of the
bridge In Virginia, and came here to do
some shopping, but I got lost and was
asking my way when the policeman came
up and arrested me after saying that X
was begging."
A man don't usually go shopping and
then start in to beg," tho court com
mented. Thompson was adjudged to be a
vagrant, however, but Judge Scott ac
cepted ins personal bonds and he started
for home.
Not a Vag and Not Guilty.
Josephine Gannon, who Is not a stranger
to the court attaches, was in the toils, and
was the next to stand at the bar of justice.
"I'm not a vag, and I ain't guilty of the
charge," she declared when the clerk ar
raigned her.
"Well, what was Joe doing this time?"
Prosecutor Pugh asked Policeman Spring
man.
I found her asleep in the weeds on a
vacant lot at the corner of ir?th and U
streets northwest, about. 3 o'clock this
morning, ' the officer answered.
"What wits her condition?" the police
man was asked.
"She was drunk."
I wasn t drunk, neither were my eyes
shut." Joe declared, "and besides, it was

Wanted to Sleep in Pew.
Albert Johnson, colored, attended church
In Northeast Washington last night and
this morning he was called on to answer
to a charge of vagrancy.
I ell the court what you know about Al

"He went to church last night, but after
It was out he declined to go home and
wanted to ??o to sleep on the pew."
Johnson declined to explain his strange

with the privilege of spending the next six

"He was drunk in Hillsdale last night and
wanted to stop at the first house he passed
and go to bed. Policeman Stewart told
Judge Scott when John Hawkins, a colored
youth, was called to the bar of justice
Hawkins declined to avail himself of the
privilege of making an explanation and the
TUNING A PHYSICIAN
HE GOT OUT, AND THEN IN TUNE.
If coffee has you where your nerves demand it
each morning you have n wreck ahead sure.
Think bark for a year and notice how the sick
spells grow on you Instead of getting loss.
You are running into nervous prostration or some
fixed disease absolutely certain, and when it sud
denly takes full possession you will fli d nothing,
absolutely nothing, in drugs that will heal you.
Nature demands penalty for the daily hurt to tho
i-erve centers by coffee, and you must pay the full
price.
A lhysfoian of Cornwall, Ont., says of himself,
"For years ?offee was to me what rum is to the
tci?er, but I kept getting worse and worse In
health.
"I suffered from continuous nervous twitching,
im-otuuia. restless, miserable nights, nerves all
gene. Craving for coffee was intense, but it put j
me lower and lower in health. Something must be i
dene, so 1 tried leaving off the coffee and using 1
Postum Food Coffee. The iirst trial wife and 1 !
vh re both disgusted, for we were careless in brew- j
lug it. but we went carefully Into the subject of j
preiaring Postum and found we had only allowed
it to brew aUnit five minutes, and that won't make
good Postum. So next time it was boiled full iif
teen minutes after boiling began, then served with
good cream and it was tooth.some and delicious.
That marked the beginning of my return to health.
Nov. I sleep well, the old twitching has disappear
ed, and in short I am well again. My good wife
has also been much benefited by leaving off coffee
and using Postum Ft?od Coffee. We have aban
dot.ed the old coffee for all time." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason why so many intelligent people
and physicians drink Postum in tlace of ordinary
coffee.

court thought that a term of two months
In Jail would bring him back to his senses.
Hawkins was given the privilege of paying
a line of $20 or otherwise be deprived of
his liberty.
"John 8ulllvan." called Clerk Harper.
"Here I am, but wait until I get my coat
on," said a voice from the rear of the dock.
Sullivan soon had his coat on and when he
came Into view he proved to be a veteran
of the civil war.
"He's been hanging around the 'Bowery'
for the last two weeks and he hasn't got a
cent of money," Policeman Vermillion told
Judge Scott.
"Where has he been stopping?" Prose
cutor Pugh asked the officer.
"I have been giving him money to stop at
a lodging house, but now he wants to go to
a hotel."
"Where do you belong?" Judge Scott
asked the old soldier.
"In the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, Ohio."
"What are you doing here?" his honor in
quired.
"I don't know." '
"Where are you going to stay?" he was
asked by the court.
"I guess you'll have to give me a place
to stay," he replied.
"Twenty dollars or sixty days."
Denies the Charge.
"I'm not guilty of any such charge as
that," was what William Carson, a colored
resident of Broad alley southwest, had to
say when he was arraigned on a charge of
misconduct.
"He swore at a drunken woman Saturday
night because she lay down on his front
doorstep and went to sleep," a policeman
?told the court.
"It was her that was doing all the cuss
ing. and I was only fanning myself to keep
ccol," Carson explained.
The court, however, failed to see why the
policeman would arrest the man for noth
ing, and he was given the privilege of pay
inn a fine of $5 or spending fifteen days ia
Jail in lieu of payment.

AN OFFICER REPRIMANDED.
What Secretary Morton Wrote to
Lieut. Hogan.
Secretary Morton has written the follow
ing letter of reprimand to Second Lieuten
ant Reginald J. Hogan of the Marine
Corps, recently court-martialed at Annapo
lis for an assault on a colored man and
resisting arrest, and sentenced to lose five
l umbers and to be publicly reprimanded.
The court, however, in consideration of the
officer's youth and inexperience In the
service, unanimously recommended the ex
ercise of clemency. The Secretary of the
Navy approved the findings and sentence
of the court, but remitted the loss of num
bers.
"This lenient action has been taken,"
says Secretary Morton In his letter, "In the
belief that at a time when you had enjoy
ed but little opportunity to become ac
quainted with the obligations, customs and
traditions of the service, you wero betray
ed, in a moment of heedlessness, Into con
duct which your sober judgment must un
qualifiedly condemn, and In the confident
expectation that you will take seriously to
heart the lessons of an incident which at
the very outset of your career has impell
ed your standing and prospects In your
chosen profession. Aside from other fea
tures of the matter, 'upon which it Is deem
ed unnecessary to remark, you are especial
ly admonished that one of the first duties
of a commissioned officer is to pay due re
spect at all times and under all circum
stances to constituted authority, civil as
wall as military. Resistance to arrest by
an officer of the law is a grave matter un
der any circumstances and Is particularly
Inexcusable on the part of officers of the
military and naval service, who should
recognize in their conduct the propriety of
yielding unhesitating obedience to law, reg
ulations and order, and protesting, If neces
sary, afterward.
"Unless your future conduct in the service
show that you have appreciated, and will
profit by, the humiliating experiences which
resulted in this court-martial, the leniency
extended to you will have been wasted."
Resumption of Naval Enlistments.
The Navy Department recently Issued
orders directing the resumption of enlist
ments In the navy. The age of entering
has been raised, the minimum being seven
teen years and the maximum eighteen
years. This change has become necessary
because experience has shown that the un
developed boy of fifteen or sixteen years is
not sufficiently strong to perform the work
expected of him. The object Is to secure
older boys of better physique. Their
strength will enable them to handle the
heavy type of guns with less fatigue and
exhaustion, and secure a greater rapidity
of loading and general service of the guns.
Medals for Ericsson's Crew.
The President has ordered that the tor
pedo boat Ericsson be added to the list of
ships the crews of which are entitled to
medals for their conduct in the naval en
gagement at Santiago, July 3, 189a The
Ericsson, which was then commanded by
Comander N. R. Usher, now in the bureau
of navigation, Navy Department, saved
many Spanish officers and men from the
Maria Theresa, the Vlzcaya and the Oquen
do, under extremely dangerous and dltlicult
circumstances.

IRISH AGITATION'.
Important Meeting to Be Held Here
Wednesday.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In view of your past courtesies in giving
space in your valuable columns concerning
matters of public interest, I take the liberty
of presenting for publication some of the
recent phases appertaining to the welfare !
of Ireland, which will deeply interest all
Irishmen, and those who sympathize with
them ait this momentous juncture.
No better time than the present can we I
advocate a perfect unity of those who have
the welfare of Ireland at heart. To that
end the undersigned, on behalf of the
United Irish League of America, extend a
most fraternal invitation to all friends of
Ireland to unite with the league to further
promote the welfare of our country. The
Irish people ait home are the best Judges
of the methods by which they can secure
their best Interests, and the United Irish
League of America, acting as an auxiliary,
in co-operation with them, can be of much
material assistance.
Coercion has disappeared. Political pris
oners have been released. The land bill has
been settled. The Irish leaders in this
movement are adjusting between landlord I
and tenant the purchase of the land on
most equitable terms. Already over 70,000
farms have been transferred to the tenants.
This means that the farmers are united, j
a*id becoming a great power In Ireland to
day. This has been accomplished without
a drop of blood shed, or the destruction of
one dollar's worth of property. The se
quence of this Is that all has been ob
tained by harmonious action, on moral,
legal and parliamentary lines. Never in
the seven centuries of Ireland's troubles
has the outlook been brighter or more hope
ful than at present.
In money benefits alone Ireland, through
her parliamentary agitation, has wrung
from England since the start of the Land
League movement by Parnell and Davitt in
1879, In cash alone, $905,727,375s and the fol
lowing named reforms, whose financial re
sults canot be estimated, but which have
worked a practical revolution in Ireland:
Franchise act, 1884, securing practically
manhood suffrage; local government act,
1898.
This act of 1808 resulted in transferring
practically the entire local government of
Ireland from the hands of the Castle gar
rison to the elected representatives of the
people.
With such plain proof of the effect of a
fearlessly conducted Irish national move
ment on present lines, there is every reason
to believe that a strong, united and deter
mined effort by the Irish race in support
of the Irish parliamentary party and the
Irish national organization, the United Irish
League, will speedily result In the winning
of Irish national Independence.
All true friends of Ireland who are in fa
vor of the land being owned and governed
by her own people should unite In this
great struggle, by giving their moral and
financial support. Past animosities or dif
ferences of opinion should be cast aside
Let the world see that the Irish people of
today can form one solid phalanx of undi
vided patriotism. Let it be seen that by
ignoring petty or personal grievances we
shall, as a united brotherhood, be capable
of governing the land of our fathers.
There will be a meeting of the Michael
Davltt Branch of the league at Carroll In
stitute, Wednesday, July 13, at 8 p.m., for
the purpose of uniting the friends of Ire
land, and to arrange to send delegates to
the second national convention of the
United Irish league of America, which will
be held In New York, August 30 and 31. on
which occasion John E. Redmond, the na
tional leader, and a strong delegation of
prominent Irish representatives will be
present.

a full course of ten months. It is planned

ly of diving and torpedo practice, shall be
done during the summer months, while the

shall be confined to those months when cold

cult.

was stationed In this city several years ago
as assistant to the chief of engineers.
Sad Conditions in Iowa Circle.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I desire to call the attention of the offi
cials of this city to the condition of af
fairs at Iowa Circle. My home is within
a few hundred feet of the Logan statue,
and I frequently cross the park evenings.
It would appear that the negroes from
Swampoodle, Hell's Bottom, Goat alley
and such localities have taken complete
possession of the park. A lady is not safe
from insult crossing through the 'circle'
after nightfall. Nearly every bench Is
occupied by these people, usually from
eighteen to twenty-three years of age,
many of them known to the police as
j petty thieves and crap-shooters; of this I
have been reliably informed. It is very
seldom a white person can secure a seat,
as they are all occupied by the negro
element, and the walks are in many in
stances blocked by groups of them, so
that one has to literally crowd a way
through, at the same time being obliged
to listen to profanity and vulgar lan
guage. -
Last night my wife and her sister pass
ed through the park just before dark and
were rudely pushed by two of the black
rascals. On their return I walked through
the park, and it was a sight that the
Commissioners should have seen, since I
have been told Maj. Sylvester knows of
the condition of afTalrs here, but will
take no action, for some reason or other.
It was about 8:15 or 8:30, and the path
around the Logan statue was so crowded
with negroes that you could scarcely
pass around It, while the coping sur
rounding the statue was occupied by the
negroes sitting on it. But that was not
the worst part of it, for on the polished
base of the statue Itself were six or eight
young ones from twelve to sixteen years
of age, running around and climbing up
the statue until two or three were cling
ing to the figures (just below the horse it
self), some eight or ten feet from the
ground. I was so Indignant at this out
rage that I started for 14th street to find
a policeman. I finally found one, but as
his duties called him elsewhere at the
moment it was nearly half an hour be
fore he arrived at the circle, by which
time the boys had descended, but were
still sitting on the coping. As soon as
they saw the officer approaching they ran
away.
There Is a watchman there during the
day to keep little children and babies off
the g*ass, and he performs his arduous
duties boldly and manfully, but he goes
off duty at 7 p.m., and from that time un
til the next morning the circle is without
a guardian of any sort. There is, I am
al raid, but one remedy for this nuisance
and that is to take the seats from the
park, as I am to] J, was done some years
ago. Still, If the circl" were more bright
ly lighted It might have ^ boneficial ef

The last vacancy at the District jail re
sulting from the recent death of Deputy

was filled today by the appointement of

fore stated, Clerk Urner has been made
deputy warden and Guard Fred Harris ele

JEFFERSON'S STATUE MISSING.
Dedication of Virginia Building at
Fair Waiting Its Arrival.
A dispatch from St. Louis says: The dedi
cation of the Virginia building at the fair
has been postponed Indefinitely while the
commissioners are searching for a statue of
Thomas Jefferson and some furniture from
the University of Virginia. Both were
shipped for St. Louis and should have ar
rived two weeks ago, but nothing has been
heard of them. G. W. Coyner, president of
the commission, says that the dedication
cannot take place until the statue arrives,
as It would never do to. dedicate the build
ing, which is a model of Monticello, the old
Jefferson home, without having a statue of
Virginia's greatest man. He is greatly wor
ried about the furniture, as it is very old
and valuable and was loaned the commis
sion by the University of Virginia.
