Wm. Smith, the pawnbroker, was before
the Police Court to-day, appearing for his
wife, who was charged with conducting q
pawnbroker's business at No. 800 Ninth
street northwest, and failing to keep rec
ord, such as is prescribed by the law, OF the
description of persons pawning articles at
the establishment. The case grew out of
the recovery at Mr. Smiths establishment,
by Detective Raft, of gold-headed cane
stolen from DR.. MacArdle, and valued by
him at S25. The pawnbroker's record
showed the cane to be valued at 50, and
that 81 was advanced on it and gave only q
partial description of the man who pawned
it.
Mr.. Smith claimed that the value given
of the gold-headed cane was fair one and
that the description was all that was re-
quired,
Judge Smell held otherwise, but said the
violation might not be Intentional and ac-
cepted the defendants personal bonds, but
said that hereafter he would impose heavy
fines for violations of this law. He also
gave notice that the pawnbrokers must
keep printed forms for their registers, with
spaces for the height, weight, color of hair,
eyes etc, Of the person pawning the
articles.

Alleged Violations sofPIumbiug Reg
uIatiOns.

A number of plumbers were attracted to
the Police Court to-day by the trial Of some
very interesting cases of violations of the
plumbing regulations.
Mr.. Stephen ]. Bouis, a hardware and
stovedealer and timer, was charged with
doing plumbing work in putting up a
range and connecting it with the boiler in a
house, without having registered and given
bonds as plumber, After hearing the
evidence Judge Smell dismissed the case,
deciding that stovedealer had a right to
put stoves in position, and in so doing did
not invade the field occupied by plumber,
unless he made some radical changes in the
plumbing. A simple connection, necessary
to put the stove in position, was not a
violation of the plumbing regulations.
Edward W. Dunn was tried for two
charges growing out of laying a terra
Gotta pipe and covering it up before it was
inspected. The case was continued for one

No Excuse for the Action of the At
tOrney-General.

Wash. Cor. Bait Sun.
Now that the papers in the ottman case
have been made public 1t is shown that there
was really less Justification for the action OF
the Department OF Justice than had been sup
posed. The whole matter Will be thoroughly
Investigated when Congress meets, and public
curiosity will not be satisfied until 1t is known
exactly what were the influences which caused
the voluntary surrenderby the Government or
Its own money and how that money was d.
vided among the parties concerned. Mr.. Bliss,
Mr.. Crowley and the other counsel know Just
as we'll as they know anything that the
money which they received for Ottman
did not belong TO him, but TO the Government,
from which IL had been stolen. 1t seems that
according to the peculiar code OF ethics which
prevails among some members of the legal
profession, ''counsel" can act In the blackest
cause, II their retainerS or contlngents are
made satisfactory, and the counsel" in the
Ottman case who Induced the Attorney Gen
eral to give up the public money to those who
had stolen II, and then retained the lions
share of 1t for their own services, Will, no
doubt, be considered as very smart and be
envied for tho handsome thing they have
made out of 1t. But there can be no possible
excuse for the action OF the Attorney General
1t is grave question, indeed, whether he has
not usurped powers not belonging to him II
taking the course that he did. There Is al
unWritten history In the case.
