Correspondence of the American Republican,
WAsuNCToN, June 25, 1915.
The Naval Court Martial met to-day, and
the charges and specifications against Captain
Voorhees, were read, but it has been requested
that their publication may be deferred for Il Jew
days.
We have had, since the celebrated shin-Pias-
ter days, a number of small notes under the
denomination of five dollars, being the rem
nants of those legions of 'Plasters' which OBJ
tanned here ga local habtatloE or name dur
ing the "pressureo of 1910. A number OF
these notes, now in circulation here, are drawn
by Mr., John Corsc, of Alexandria, and the rest
by Mr.. J. U. Pearson, OF Georgetown. 1t Is
now impossible to pass IN tins city either issue
al par A "panc" has been created, from
what cause know not; but 1t will be very in
terestnr to the public to know whether these
notes will be redeemed or not. 1t behooves
those gentlemen who have their signatures upon
the face of these notes, TO satisfy the public
mind on this point, if they have sufficient re-
gard for the respect Of their tellow-cltizens or
moral obligation.
The Criminal Court indicted, separately
WIN. Donovan, Morris Holland, John Shea
Dennis Sullivan, and William Root, for assault
and battery upon John Dewdney constable,
during the riot a few weeks ago, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, in the first ward. They were
found guilty. They also were indicted toge-
ther, charged with participation i'll said riot,
and found guilty upon this charge likewise
No business transacted in the Criminal Court
to-day, affecting the trials yet remaining OH the
docket. We have n rood hail storm nj the
present writing. METROPOLIS.
