SWINDLER BEHIND BARS
Frank Murray Worked the Oheok
Dodge on Several Merchants.
Sstya Jt Is Ilia Flrot Offense, But De-
tcctttes Have Good Cause to
Think Differently.
Place another lost reputation to tbe
credit of die Virginia gambling dens, for
when Frank Alexander Hurray, a joung
Englishman, was arrested yesterday alter -noun
hy Detective Proetor and locked be
blnd the liars at No. 1 station, lie charged,
with remorse in his ulce and tears in his
eye, that it was the temptation of the race
trait and the gaming table which hired him
from the narrow path of rectitudo and
probity.
Murray has lieen attempting to operate a
check swindle in 'Washington, arid has tried
thegameon anumbcrof menhants. Yesler
day entered the store of Loeb A Hirsh,
No.i) 1 2 F street northwest, and selecting an
overcoat for 10, presented a check for
$25 lii pajturnt. The check was drawn on
the Columbia Bank, and Mr. Loeb, after
fitting the joung man, called at the bank
to investigate the check. Finding It to be
worthies, lie hastened to his store, but the
young man had left witli the coat.
The case was directly reported to the
detects e bureau and Detective Proctor w;
detailed on It. He found that a coat bad
been offered to a second hand cioil.
dealer on D btrcet for $5. The coat an
swered the dttiriptlun of the one missing,
and takinjr this duo tbe detective soon
landed his man. Murray admitted his guilt,
but claimed that it was the first crooked
act or his life.
He told a pitiful tale of his pecuniary
troubles. lie said be came to this country
two years ago and took to following the
races. Recently he had losttlie combination
to luck and had gone broke. He had sold
or pan ned el ertbing he pocsesed, excepting
the clothes he wore. He is the only son of
parents n ho live at Dover, England.
Murray la thought by the dctecU cs to be
not to Innocent as be pretends, for 1 has
been found that be has been working the
check s wlndlo on other firms. A few days
ago he walked Into the store of Saks A Co,
and after purchasing a $20 oercoat, be
presented a check for $36 and received SI 5
in change. Testerday morning be entered
the store of C. H. Relzenstein, and after
making p-irchnses to the extent of $8, of
fered a cheek for $24.50. This check was
not accepted and Murray failed to get the
goods.
He will remain at No. 1 till Monday, when
he will face the court and will probably be
held to o ait the action of the grand Jury.

London, Nov. 9. The change of opin.
Ion in official circles regarding the Im
mediate outbreak of revolution or war in
Turkey is traceable to tho expectation
that the Sultan designs to soothe internal
agitation by .promulgating a new constitu
tion embodj big tliu leading principles of
Midhat Pasha's scheme.
Official communications point to this,
but at the same tune the Sultan's intentions
will do no more Uian put off the eTll day.
The Spectator, wliich at present speaks
with a voice of greater authority than
any other English paper, holds that the
Bultan cannot be tru&ted to effectively
grant a constitution, it says tltat the
solution of the situation lien in either the
po wers u ccupyiug certain Turkish provinces
nr the deposition of the Sultan and replace
ment of huu by a successor, pledged to
reign constitutionally.
The Spectator, in advocating that the
best solution of the question Is a military
occupation, sketches a rather sensational
plan of operations through Ilosnlu, which
country gives the readiest access to the
heart of Turkey.
FLAN ON PAPER.
Austria, it sajs, could williout delay

work would be commanding Salonica by

fleets through the Straits of Dardanelles

Though tbe carrjing out of this plan
would be tantamount to the dismember
ment of the Turkish "Empire, the Spectator
proceeds to say that Europe's gigantic
armaments could not be better employed
than in restoring the east to the domain

Mould be finally delhered from tbe

IRISH FEUD.
Before the feud between the Healyltes
and McCarthjitcs reached Its present cli
max two efforts to effect a reconciliation
were privately 'made, first by cmluent
English Liberals, who were desirous of
preventing another Irish split, and secondly
by certain Irish Catholic prelates. i
The Healyltes resented the interference
of tbe Liberals, but placed themselves at
the disposal of the prelates, who. in turn,
found that the MeCarthyltes rejected their
overtures.
Mr. Healy's expulsion from the execu
tive committee of the League of Great
Britain will be followed by more extreme
measures on 'Wednesday next, when be,

Healyiles will be removed from the ex

pubrihed that he was to resign from the
cabinet and might be etoatcd to the posi

Court of the United States, in place of the

Testatrix, They Say, Intended This
Sum for Establishment of an Aged
Women's Home, But the Taper So
I'roildlnn; IVm "ot Filed Trith the
Will Court Denies tho Petition.
' Tbevestryof 8t. John's Church yesterday
lost Its suit for $80,000 from tbe estate
of AnnaM. Maulsby, who died here In 1892.
The decision was rendered by Judge Bradley
late In tbe afternoon.
Uy her will Anna Maulsby left her prop
ertyv which was quite large, to her sisters,
Charlotte Bustwlct and Emma L. Breese,
in trust to carry out certain wishes of
bcrs. She also directed that her nieces,
Louisa D. Lovett and Ida Corson, should
take charge in case ber sisters should bo
dead.
Her first will was made in 1S8C, and it
referred to a "written Instrument," by
which her legatees should be governed.
Later she- made another will with threo
codicils or different dates, and this will
Was admitted to. probate.
TERMS OF THE CODICIL8.
One of the codicils gave $30,000 to
the erection of a Newsboys' Home, to be
known as tbe George Maulsby Home, and
by apjUicatlon to court tbe executors were
allowed to purchase the house at the south
cast corner of Third nnd C streets north
west, opened some months ago as tbe
home provided for. Another codicil men
tions the "written Instrument," refers
to the purchase of lots on Kalorama
Heights, and sets apart four of these as tbe
site for a "memorial." It is not made
clear whether this means the George
Maulsby Memorial or some other, but
as tbis codicil precedes that providing for
the George Maulsby Home it appears
more probable some other Is meant.
When the w(Il wfcis offered for probate.
howeer, the "written Instrument" with
Its Instructions for the use of the property
was not made part of the papers admitted
by the court.
In this paper1 the Vestry of Bt. John's is
entrusted with the management of a be
quest for the establishment of a Heme for
Aged Women. Tboy received no notice
6f their interest, in .the estate and the will
was admitted to" probate without the
Vestry being represented. Uponthisgrormd
npplicaUon was made by Attorney James
Lowndes toliave the matter of the probate
of the win reopened nnd the "written in
strument" made "part of the testamentary
papers.
THE WRITTEN INSTRUMENT.
The peUtion sets forth this instrument
In full. Tbe instructions aro that $39,000
be invested In a site on Kalorama Height
and erection of a building for a Home for
Aged Women to be under the control of Bt.
John's Vestry similar to the Heme con
nected wIUi Epiphany Church. In addition
$45,000 more is to be set aside for the
malntalnance of Uie Home. The balance
of the estate is to be nsed as her sisters or
nieces may wish for their orm support. Sev
eral small bequests are made.
The chief control of the Home lit to be
given to her niece, Ida Carson, "who is
an efficient and capable person" together
with eleven other ladles to be chosen by
the Vestry. The executors are author
ized to sen her property at Mt. Airy, Phila

GR1DEMUSTBECHAHGED
District Will Make Brightwood
Railway Conform to Law.
ATTORNEY THOMAS' OPIHION
Com m ins loners Ilnva the Right to
Order G radon Changed uud Charge
Cost to Com imny Special I'ollco
'iienMayMuke Arrests Undorliulea
Prescribed for tho Regular Force.
The District Commissioners will shortly
take steps to have the Brightwood Railway
tracks relald so as to conform to the new
grade on Brightwood avenue, between
Whitney avenue and Rock Creek Church
road, the work to be done by the District
and charged against tho company.
This action is foreshadowed in an opinion
rendered jesterday by Attorney Thomas,
to whom the matter was referred upon a
letter of inquiry written by Assistant
.Engineer Commissioner G. J. Fiebeger.
The attorney quotes section C of the
charter of the Rrightw ood Company, which
provides that "lu the cent of a change
of grade at any time of any of the streets,
avenues or roads occupied by the tracks.
It shall be the duty of said company to
change its said railroad so as to conform
to such grade as may have been thus cs
tabllslied, at its own expense.
The act of July 11, 1878, is also re
ferred to. which contemplates Hint street
railway companies shall conform their
railway tracks to grade, but it does not
provide a remedy In case they fall to com
ply with tbe law, as It does in the case of
their failure to do the paving required of
them.
SIMILAR CASE CITED.
Attorney Thomas finds precedent for
Ills opinion in the decision of Justice Hag
ner in the case of the District vs. Uie
Washington nnd Georgetown Railway Com
pany, and concludes wlUi tbe declaration
that the Brightwood Company having bad
the opportunity to cbauge Its tracks, and
having failed to do so.lt becomes the right
and duty of the District to do the work
and charge Uie cost against the company.
In the opinion of Attorney S.T.Thomas, a
special officer has the same right to mako
arrests lor crime as other members of the
Metropolitan Police Force bave, and at any
place.
Tbe circumstances which called for this
expression was the reference of a query
made hy U. M. Willis, a special officer, at
the Baltimore and Potomac station, who de
sired to know If he bad the authority to
take a person into custody at the time of
committing a breach of the peace, or who
might be guilty of other infraction of tbe
law, in his presence, even If the act be not
committed within the limits of territory
prescribed by his commission.
Mr. Thomas says that section 370, of the
revised statutes of the Distrlit, authorizes
tbo appointment of special policemen to do
duty at any plaro within the District, at
the charge and at the expense of the person
by whom the application is made. SecUon
376 declares that special policemen shall
be subject to the orders of Xhe Commission
ers, and shall obey tho rules and rcgulaUons
and shall perform such duty as the Com
missioners may defalk They shall, also,
during the term of thelrappulntment, possess
all the powers, privileges, and duUes of the
police force.
ATTORNEY'S REASONS.
For these reaions, and based also upon a
court decision in a case brought for false
arrest, when the officer making tbe arrest
was a special policemau, the attorney
comes to the conclusion noted.
Tnts will have an important bearing on
trw (.tat us of a class of patrolmen who
bare heretolors been held to the limits
of a prescrtbal territory In the discharge
of their urnclal duties.
The ComuiUoiouers have been asked by
a correspondent, Mr. W. J. Morris, as to
whether or not the District proposes to
enter suit against the Washington Market
Company to recover the rents and profits
accruing during tts-unlawfuloccupancy of
Haymarkel square."
The market company datmed possession
of the square under a lease and held It
for a number of years, renting stands and
spaces therein to market dealers. Under
a decision reccnUy rendered by one of the
District courts, the property passes to
the possession of the District, and the Idea
of the inquirer seems to have been that the
market coaipajiy should be made to pay
over its accumulated rents.
Tbe matter has been relerred to the at
torney for the District for an invcsU
gaUon of tbe legal phases.
President iiakcr or uie coiumuia uaii
way, and President Dunlop of the Capitol
Traction Company, have been each asked
to atsist the police department in enforc
ing the regulations against the last driving
of vehicles at crossings where the two
roads Intersect.
PRESIDENT BAKER'S SUGGESTION.
At President Baker's request, the Com
missioners recently issued an order requir
ing the obeenance of tbe regulations, and
jesterday a letter was addressed to him
and to Mr. Dunlop requesting that their
trainmen be directed to report all viola
tions that may ccme under their observa
tion. Mr. Roger Williams, clerk to the exciss
board, has placed four hundred and fifty
application lor licenses in the hands of the
police for InvcsUgotion since the first
of the month. Aboutonehundredxeeponses
nave been received.
The applications will, as far as possible,
be considered In the order in which the ap
plications were received. The "clear"
cases will, however, be first considered,
as all over which there is the probability of
contest will be held for a tearing of the
protestants.
It is the Inlentionof the board to adhere.
In all cases when practicable, to the rule
of granting no public hearings, the re
quirement being tliat arguments for and
against shall be submitted hi the form of
briefs.
Tlie wholesale market men are not al
together satisfied with the arrangements
for disposing of the stalls in Haymarket
square.
CoL Wright Rives, who was at '"ie Dis
trict building yesterday, suggested the
posslbUity of a number of proposals Icing
received for each of the best staUs while
many oUiers not bo desirable wUl not be
wanted by anybody.
Col. Rives suggested that all the stalls
be exposed to public aucUon and let the
highest bidder get his choice.
WHEN FUNDS ARE PROVIDED.
With regard to the proposed change In
the center tpnce, as suggested by the whole
sale dealers, Col. Elves was advised by let
ter that no consideration can be paid to
the recommendation unUl the Commis
sioners are in receipt of funds. To meet
Uils contingency the suggestion is made
that the bidders win pay three months' rent
each in advance. Considering that there
wiU be two hundred staEs available, at a
low CBtlniate. the sale will probably net
$3,000 for the first quarter's rental.
Messrs.IL A. Wlilard, John Joy Edson,and
Jesse B. Wilson had a conference yesterday
with the Commissioners respecting the prop
osition made by the board of assistant
assessors for an extension of the time for
the required report of the assessment now
going on.
The request of the assistant assessors Is
strongly Indorsed hy Assessor Trimble, and
Is based upon the amount of work Imposed
upon them under the law.
The law, as passed, requires that the
board shall on or before tbe first Monday
in January, 1896, mako and deliver to the
assessor, a return in tabular form of the
amount, description, and value of the real
property subject to be listed for taxation.
This valuation shaH be determined from
actual view of each separate tract or lot.
PHrSICALLT IMPOSSIBLE.
The board says to do this will be
physically impossible, and hence tbe re
quest for the extension.
The gentlemen were averse to a post
ponement, for various reasons, but they
recogoiza that the sstrsrnni are right,
and that to do the work as reqsired will
consume more time. It was explained
