STATEMENT REGARDING MEMOR
IAL DAT EXERCISES, MAT 30.
The announcement that other services
than those of the Grand Army of the Re
public will be held at Arlington on Me
morial day. May .TO, was discussed with a
Star reporter yesterday by Commander A. P.
Tasker of the Department of the Potomac,
G. A. R. It has been said that the Roose
I velt Club of Spanish-American War Sol
diers, Sailors and Marines had arranged to
i hold services #t Arlington, and that the or
ganization had procured an escort of United
States troops and one of the government
brass bands for that occasion. This mat
ter was brought to the attention of Com
mander Tasker and of the several heads of
the War Department having immediate
control of the national cemetery at Arling
ton.
Commander Tasker stated that he had
secured for the G. A. R. not only the full
Marine Band, but the Engineer Band and
that of the United States 4 th Cavalry at
Fort Myer.
He also said that a detail of United States
troops had been ordered. If necessary, for
the parade, which will take place at 0:3.)
o'clock a.m.. May 30, of .the veterans of
the civil war and the Spanish war, and
that no further arrangement for bands or
details could be made by the government
for any other organization acting In a dual
capacity.
G. A. R. in Charge.
At the office of the quartermaster general. J
United States army, it was stated that
t Memorial day exercises at Arlington had
by unwritten law been transferred to the
G. A. R., and that no organization what
ever would be allowed to Infringe on the ,
rights of that organization on the day
which is set aside to commemorate the
valor of American soldiers.
Commander Tasker also said that while
Decoration day?May 30?of this year has J
been especially set aside for the recogni
I tion of the services of the men who I
[ fought for the republic, he would not
j object to similar services being held on |
j any other day than May 30. that date be- |
ing recognized throughout this country j
I as Memorial day established by the
Grand Army of the Republic for paying
tribute to the American soldiers who had
fallen in battle.
I By permission of the War and Navy De
partments Commander Tasker has. as
| stated, secured the services of the Marine
[ Band, the Cavalry Band at Fort Myer

It has been arranged that the Marine
Band will furnish the music at the am
phitheater at Arlington; that the Engi
neer Band will head the Grand Army di
vision on Memorial day, and that the Cav
alry Band will head the Spanish War Vet
erans.
Another Innovation provided by Com
mander Tasker Is that the Spanish war
services over the dead of the war wi!h
Spain will be held immediately after ila

sion and during the ceremonies. (

sary of Consistory Masons.
At Chicago more than 2,000 sublime
princes of the royal secret gathered at the
banquet that closed the three days' celebra
tion of the golden anniversary of the Ori
ental consistory. High Masons from all
parts of the country and visitors from Eng

The Hargis Murder Case.
After a long argument among the attor
neys at Lexington. Ky., Thursday the court
ruled that M. Feltner, who was on the stand
in the trial of J -dge James Hargis for al
leged complicity in the Breathitt county
feud murders, could testify as to nothing
connected with the J. B. Marcum killing
or to the alleged conspiracy leading to It.
Feltner has stated In a deposition that he
was present at a conference with the Har
gises and Edward Callahan, at which the
method of killing both Marcum and James
Cockrill was discussed. The court rules
that nothing affecting Marcum can be testi
fied to now, as the present case has to do
with the killing of Cockrill.
The most sensational disclosure made
by Feltner was that two years after
Cockrill was killed, when it began to ap
pear that the Harglses would be indicted
James Hargis, through Feltner's brother
Felix, proi>osed to go on Moses' bond for
$.>.000 in the case wherein Feltner was
charged with killing Jesse Fields, and in
addition to give him (Feltner) $1,500 as a
guarantee that the Hargises would have
Feltner acquitted of the murder of Fields
A check for $000 was to be used to helu
him fight the case.

NOTES OF THE PUPILS
IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS
. Central.
Extensive preparations are being made
by the students of Central High School for
dances and picnics to be given during the
Easter holiday. The most important of
these Is tjie Lambna Sigma dance, which is
tj be given at Mrs. Dyer's on Tuesday
evening. Representatives of the other
schools as well as Central will be present
ti add to the enjoyment and to the number
of pretty girls which will attend.
The board of education has forbidden any
class to organize until after the Easter hol
idays. It was the wish of the fourth year
class to elect Its officers In November, be
fore cliques are formed. After the holidays
the fouitli year class will be held in sus
pense until Its election is held. Already
several namci for the presidency have been
suggested and considerable discussion has
ailsen over the person best qualified to li 11
the position.
The Central High School debating season
opened with a victory over the debating
team representing the Baltimore City Col
lege in Baltimore on March 18. The first
debate between the local schools was held
in the Western High School assembly hall,
when the Western team defeated that of
Eastern in a cose contest, Last Wednesday
afternoon in the assembly hall of Western
the second annual debate between the Cen
tral and Western teams was held. The
team fioin Central carried oft the honors.
The question, whether or not an eight
hour Working day should be adopted wlllitn
the United States by: law for all clerks and
all persons engaged in manual labor, was
under discussion. The affirmative side was
upheld by Western, While Central assumed
the negative. The speakers for Western
were T. Sidney McSween, Edward H. Hobie
and George L. Harrison; for Central, Er
nest D. Shrieber, William B. Richards and
Henry W. Eigerton. Commissioner Macfar
land. Justice Wendell P. Stafford of the
District Supreme Court and Vr. O. F. Bow
erman, the llbrar:an of the public library,
were the judges.
Next Saturuay will te a great day for
the Central adherents, for it is then that
th; great Pennsylvania meet comes off in
Philadelphia in which Central Higli School
will play an important part. In the race
for the high school championship of the
state, the Central High School of this city
has entered a fast team to compete'with
the teams representing high schools in Chi
cago. Brooklyn Boys' High School, Erasmus
Hail High School. Biookiyn; Ue Witt Clin
ton. New York City; Central Manual Train
ing School, Philadelphia, and the Philadel
phia Central High School, the latter now
holding the championship.
Central boys are handicapped In a meas
ure, as one of the rules of the local classes
prohibits any boy over twenty-one, or over
four years In athletics in the high school,
from competing in any event representing
his school. Most of the other high schools
In the other cities have no age limit. The
team which is to go has not yet been se
lected. but will be frdrn the following can
didates: Kemper. Wallace. Roberts, Sher
man, Clagett and Kent, "captain of the
track team.
The Central ball team Is now In fine con
dition. and has attained a snappy manner
of playing. This team is to i>iay the Wes
ley freshmen in the near future. Last
week the Central team defeated the George
town Reserves by a score of 4 to 2. The
features of the game were the fine playing
of the Central battery. Cunningham and
Woodward. The good batting of ThomaB.
Kipp, McDonald and Woodward deserve
mentioning. The game was played on the
Georgetown University campus.
Eastern.
Company P of Eastern is now working
hard on the drill program which was issued
to the captains on the 23d of March last.
This program is different In a good many
respects from those of the preceding years.
It is much shorter, the captains being re
quired to linlsh in thirty minutes, whereas
It required three-quarters of an hour to
complete it last year. The company, under
the command of Capt. Linthicum. will be
dangerous competitors for the red ribbons
in the annual competitive drill In May.
When Eastern had the honor four years
ago of having the colonel of the regiment,
the company, under the command of Capt.
Fred Robinette, was successful In taking
from the field the much-desired prize flag.
Now that the commander of the regiment.
Col. Lybrand, is again a student of Eastern
High School, it is hoped that Capt. Linthl
eum and his company will live up to the
precedent established four years ago. At
the company banquet last Friday evening
Lieut. Dunnington suggested that the girls
of Eastern should come out after school
to encourage the boys, as it is a known
fact that in the presence of the popular sex
the boys will work harder to show what
they can do. The girls have followed out
this suggestion, and as shown by their
numbers are as eager as the boys for East
ern to win the drill.
One of the lectures provided for in the
course of free lectures to the people was
given in the Assembly Hall, at Eastern last
Friday evening by Dr. Rosalie Slaughter
on the subject "Ceylon and the Way They
Do Things There." The lecture was Illus
trated by a number of stereopticon slides
which showed the peculiar customs of the
inhabitants of the island. One of the pic
tures shown the audience was of the holy
men, who, it is said, in order to acquire
merit, have held their hands above their
heads for ten years. Views were shown of
the manner In which people scare away
sickness by singing and dancing; of barbers
who have no shops, but give shaves and
haircuts on the sidewalks or on public
highways; where the tea grows that sells
for $100 a pound. Instead of trolley cars
the natives use the slow-going ox carts, and
instead of stoves two hot stones on the
ground are used for cooking purposes. The
lecture was listened to with attention by
a very large audience, which filled the as
sembly hall.
Athletics at Eastern are now on the boom.
Great things are expected of the base bail
team, whfch has been practicing for the
past two months. The men were under an
able coach in the person of Mr. Phil Geier,
formerly with the Boston Nationals und a
Washington boy, until he had to Join his
team. Under his experienced coaching
many valuable points were obtained by the
boys. Bill Dlneen of the Boston Americans
had the battery, comprising Oyster, Lin
thleum and Richardson, at American League
Par* during the past four days and gave
them instructions which will work for the
good of the team. Oyster, the captain, says
that the showing of the team wiil exceed
all expectations. His remarks were justi
fied in the games played this week with
St. John's College and the George Wash
ington freshment. Eastern defeating both.
St. John's went out in one, two, three
order in the first, while Eastern scored two.
After two St. John's men had been retired
In the second, Ryon was passed to first.
The next ball was hit to Herring, who
fielded it cleanly, but threw wild to first,
Ryon scoring. The next man struck out.
Herring redeemed ills error by placing a
slashing two-bagger in left field, scoring
Miller, who had reached first on an error.
Neither side scored in the third, but St!
John's put two men across the plate in the
fourth and Eastern one. Neither scored in
the fifth. Eastern earned two In the sixth
by opportune hitting. St. John's scored two
unearned runs in the seventh on a costly
error by Dumont. Each side made one in
the ninth. The pitching of Oyster and
Linthicum was fine, and St. John's would
have been shut out with perfect support.
Linthicum also secured two timely hits
Greene's batting and an one-hand pickup
by Hart were the features for St. John's.

Eastern defeated George Washington
freshmen by a score of 24 to 10. Three
pitchers for George Washington were batted
out of the box, and the fourth fared nearly
as bad. Eastern's fielding was ragged. The
batting of Oyster and H. Richardson was a
feature, each making three hits. Field se
cured n single and a three-bagger. Miller
made a sensational catch of a liner in deep
left, doubling a man at second, and nearly
secured a triple play, the ball striking the
man who was returning to first in the back.
Eastern plays Technical May 2.
Track athletes are training at Eastern,
and It is expected that Captain Thompson
of the team, who secured second place in
the hammer throfcr last year, will win the
event In the spring meet In May. The can

Business.
The Business High School track team met
at Van Ness Park at 2 o'clock Friday af
ternoon last and uractlced until inter
rupted by the rain. Several members of
last year's track team were present and
helped the captain coach the youngsters.
Thert was some promising material from
the first year, arid these boys have gone
Into training to be prepared to enter the
high school meet. The lack of enthusiasm
about athletics which existed at Business
last year is fortunately absent this year,
and both the track team and the base ball
team are doing all that could be expected
of them.
Owing to the withdrawal from school
of Lieut. H. E. Simpson of Company E,
Bnttalion Adjutant J. It. Simpson has ap
plied for and obtained his position. As
the regimental drill and sham battle will
not occur this year. Mr. Simpson felt that
he would rather be actively engaged in
military work than occupy an honorary
position. In the short regimental drill on
the second day of the competitive drill
Lieut. Peacock will perform the duties
of adjutant, Capt. Warner feels that he
is destined thip year to break the spell
which has apparently hung- over Business
In regnrd to the competitive drill. He
has brought Company E up to a high
state Of proficiency as far as drill goes,
although the discipline is still u little
lax. Capt. Hart of Company (J is going
to work With the Same determination
which ??liaracterlzed his work on the foot
ball field. He has a slightly larger com
pany than Capt. Warner's and has
brought his men to ti perfect state of
discipline. The companies drill on Mary
land avehue northeast between the Capi
tol grounds and Stiirtton Square.
Western.
The other high schools .are anxiously
watching Company H of Western. West
ern ban not won the drill for six years,
but each year they have put forth a bet
ter company, and this year they seem to
have reached the limit. WJth such a line
company as Capt. Campbell's to represent
them tliis year the Westerners could not
be blamed much if they lost heart alto
gether In case of another failure to land
the Mag. Capt. Campbell has reduced his
company to five fours. The ccmpany
drills with a steadiness, an attention to
line details and discipline that is very
pleasing to its friends. Company H was
fortunate in obtaining the use of George
town Field for drill between the hours of
2 and 3 on drill days.
Here the company goes through the pro
gram, repeating such numbers as are most
difficult, and then marches back to the
school, maneuvering as it goes. From 3:30
until the end of the drill period, 3:45, the
company is exercised' in the manual of
arms lir line In front of the school building.
The bas<- ball team practices on the lot
back of the school, where some of the
heavy sluggers take turns In "batting them
out" to .a number of candidates for base
ball honors.
Technical.
The F. S. C. of the Technical High School
gave a picnic at Cabin John last week.
The ten members who took this outing met
at the Georgetown transfer station at 1Q:30
on Friday morning and did not return until
late In the afternoon. Arrangements have
been made for another picnic during the
Easter holidays.
An enthusiastic crowd witnessed the
base ball game >ast week between teams
representing Companies C and D of the
Technical. Ellis pitched a good game for
Company C, which rolled up ten scores to
their opponents' five. Company I) had a
good artist In Ellsworth, who might have
won the game with better support.
The same rivalry exists in military mat
ters between the Technical companies that
Is shown In athletics. Capt. C. W. Fulton
of Company D is determined to retrieve his
defeat in oase ball by winning the com
petitive drill. Capt. Cunningham will give
him a hard fight, however, with Company
C. which has won twice in the last four
years. Capt. W. R. Ourand is far from
being discouraged by the fact that Com
pany 1C has never won the competitive
drill. In fact, as this is the second year
of Company K's existence, he is encour
aged by the tradition that new schools and
new companies are lucky.
Some of the young Technical athletes
who are to take part in the meet at Balti
more introduced a new feature. Yesterday
morning about ten of them assembled at
15th and H streets northeast and started
on the long walk to Baltimore. They ex
pect to stay over several days. Those who
walked over were Apple, Doran, Du Ganne,
Pigett, Roseman, A. Gloetzner, E. Gloetz
ner, Shayl, Stelnmetz and Willis.
Paul Lessar Dead.
M. Paul Lessar. Russian minister to Chi
na, whose foot was recently amputated, died
in Peking, China, Thursday night.
M. Lessar. who was councillor. of the
Russian embassy in London, was appointed
Russian minister to China July 12, lOol."
The deceased minister distinguished himself
as the negotiator with the Chinese of the
proposed amendments to the Russo-Chinese
Manchurlan treaty. Early In 1!X)1 he be
gun a series of meetings with Prince Ching
and Wang-wen-shao, who urged strong
modifications of the old agreement, made
with the late LI Hung Chang, in order to
^maintain the sovereignty of China over
Manchuria. Russia, through M_. Lessar,
agreed to some of the Chinese demands, but
the war with Japan ended the diplomatic
negotiations on the subject.
M. Pavloff. formerly Russian minister to
I Korea and now at Shanghai, will probably
| succeed M. Lessar.
Had Her Secretary Arrested.
Mme. Teetrazini, grand opera singer of
Milan, Italy, who recently finished an en
gagement at San Francisco, has caused the
arrest of Signor Urlburu, her financial sec
retary. Mme. Teetrazini declares that she
gave her agent various sums of money
aggregating 27,000 francs, with instructions
to forward the same to Paris. She says
that recently she became suspicious that
L'riburu had not forwarded the money, and
alleges that an investigation proved that
! her suspicions were well founded. Uriburu,
when arrested at a cafe, had ?450 in his
possession. He declared he had not mis
appropriated the money, and had disposed
of it for Mme. Teetrazini's benefit.
Death of Bishop Watson.
Right Rev. Alfred Augustin Watson,

of the east Carolina diocese, died at Wil
mington, N. C., Friday, after an illness
of nearly two years, following a stroke of

and he now succeeds to all the duties of
that office.

included in this trust have been, it is charg
ed. Improperly released.
. The court Is informed that Cardinal Glb
tw>ns and the Catholic University are in
terested respectively in the sums of $>i,000
and $1,000. and the Sisters of the Visitation
In the sum of $500. The understanding is
that the latter claim will be paid In full

WRIT OF ERROR GRANTED.
Appeal From Police Court to Test Va
grancy Law.
The Court of Appeals has granted a writ
of error in the case of the District of Co
lumbia against Albert Fields, pending the
argument of an appeal from the decision of
Judge Kimball in Police Court. Applica
tion was made for this writ in order to get
the vagrancy law, under which Fields had
been convicted In the lower court, before
the Court of Appeals, so that that court
could pass on the constitutionality of the
act. Attorney Thomas L. Jones, who is
carrying forward the appeal, says he ex
pects to make a strong case against the
act.
The argument for a new trial and the
filing In Police Court of a bill of excep
tions was recorded in The Star at the time
It came up last week. This granting of the
writ of error brings the case one step near
er a hearing by the higher court.
It Is said by Attorney Jones that this act
has. never been passed on by . the Court of
Appeals. Some time ago, In the case of
the District of Columbia against William
Eraser, charged with being a suspicious
ctlaracter, the 'Court of Appeals declared
that there was no such offense as that
charged, and pronounced as unconstitu
tional that part of the act relating to the
arrest and conviction of "suspicious charac
ters." The vagrancy law Is a part of the
same act, and it is claimed by the attor
neys for Fields that a similar fate awaits
the vagrancy clause.
Much Interest Is being taken in this ap
peal, as the cases of vagrancy in the Po
lice Court every day are numerous, and
the outcome will be awaited with Interest.
This granting of a writ of error at this
time does not give any Indication of what
final disposition will be made with the case
by the Court of Appeals.
ADOPTED NEW TACTICS.
Schemes of the Revolutionists for
Creating Sentiment.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 22 ?In all re
cent attacks on the police and administra
tive officers In Poland their assailants have
used poisoned bullets and daggers.
At the popular theaters and music halls
pel formers are arousing great demonstra
tions by singing and reciting revolutionary
verst-s. These are introduced as encores,
not appearing on the regular programs,
which must be passed by the theatrical
censor. Recently the performers did not
hesitate to lampoon the imperial family
under a thin disguise. On the trick being
discovered rigid Instructions were issued
to the police not to allow a single encore
which had not previously been approved by
the censorship.
In order to insure prompt action In case
of demonstrations the governors and other
officials of all the provinces have been
diree'ed to remain at their offices during
the Easter holidays and be prepared far
any emergency.
