THE QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY
1t was strange thing, the counsel said, that
the whole burden of the responsibility for the
bad work in the tunnel had been thrown on
Major Lydecker, while the contractors had
gone ''scot free" And not only this, but
although they had made offers to make good
the work, Congress had taken such steps that
the contractors could not carry out this prom
lse. IL Major Lydecker could be convicted by
court-martial, then every member Of the
congressional committee could be convicted.
Inasmuch, continued Mr.. Swift as he did not
expect Major Lydecker's conviction, he did
not look to the possibility of any such proceed
ings as the trial of all Congress.
He concluded by claiming that the charge
against Major Lydecker is that he did not
detect the fraud of the contractors-a crime
for which there is no precedent in military
law.
He closed at few minutes before IL o'clock,
and the court took recess until 1 o'clcck.

Police ,JOttings.

THE PROPOSED BALL GAMES FOR BENEFIT OF THE
PENSION FUND-THE GYMNAsIUM-oNE REsIG-
NATION AND TWO SUSPENSIONS.
The policemen are getting up baseball nine
to play a nine composed of reporters on the
local papers. Three games are to be played at
Capitol park about the first of May. The
games will be played for the benefit of the
police force, the proceeds going to the police
mems fund. The old and disabled officers are
pensioned from this fund. There are already
several officers on the pension-roll and there
are other men now on duty who are hardly
able to keep on their feet. The police sur
geons recently examined several old officers
and reported them as being unfit for service.
IL the coming exhibitions prove financial
success, as they no doubt will be, the fund
will be considerably augmented.
The first gymnasium has proven great sue
cess in police circles. 1t affords the officers of
all the precincts an opportunity for exercise
the gymnasium has been established it has
greatly benefited many of the officers. Several
local pugilists have visited the room and given
the officers lessons in professional sparring.
Policeman Thomas 81. Harding has resigned.
He has been on the force several years, and
patrolled what is known as the upper beat" in
the first precinct, which is in the vicinity Of
Massachusetts, avenue, New York avenue and
18th street.
Policeman J. E. Reutch Of the second pre-
cinct, and F. H. King, Of the eighth precinct,
have been suspended from duty.
During the forty-eight hours ending at 8
o'clock this morning, the police made ninety
three arrests. Seventeen of the unfortunates
were only locked up to get sober.

not create an offense; it cannot legislate; it
cannot make that an offense that yesterday was
not. The :offense must be plainly set down,
written out, and understood, without crea-
ton by argument or inference. 1t is a rule
with all penal statutes that they cannot be ex-
tended beyond the words Of the statute. Mr..
Swift called attention to the 82d article of war,
especially to the phrase 'to the prejudice Of
good order and military discipline" The
there are neglects not to the prejudice of
good order, &c. Good order, defined by Win
throp, refers mainly to the condition OF tran
guilty and good government Of the military
service, and is about synonymous with the
word discipline. breach of good order,' ia
therefore equivalent to breach of the peace.
Inc word discipline includes training to obedi-
ence to the orders Of his superiors and respect
TO them.
ACQUISITION OF WORDS.
The speaker argued that the words "preiu-
dice to military discipline" meant simply dis
obedience or disrespect to the orders of su-
perior officers, and that Major Lydecker Ger.
family committed no breach Of military peace
or any disobedience or disrespect to the orders
OF his superiors. His superior officer was not
only aware OF what he was doing, but gave his
approval to what he did. There was but one
precedent for this case, he said, that would in
any way throw light on the matter, the case of
Col. Blunt, an engineer officer, charged with
neglect Of duty by allowing q subordinate to
execute vouchers by which money was lost
Something undoubtedly would be said on the

Judge advocate to produce case of 'criminal

WORK PREVENTS CRIME.
'ineteen Out Of Thousand Convicts
Are Bred Mechanics.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
There are LOGO men in the Eastern peni-
Tertiary; nineteen of them are bred
mechanics" said Warden Cassidy yesterday
The statement is at once revelation Of the
source Of crime, and, to a great degree, its
remedy. When the convicts are admitted to
the institution they all give some occupation,
as machinist, mason, carpenter, but when it
comes down to the point Of doing anything it
is found that only the percentage represented
at all. The man who says he is a machinist it
may be found has worked in a machine shop as
laborer, but actually knows nothing about
the craft. So with the rest
Mechanics do not belong to the crime class
as a general thing" That was the next con-
densed bit Of information from Warden Cas-
sidy. They may" he continued, get down,
become demoralized from various causes
pawn their clothes, become drunkards and 60
to the house Of correction, but few of them
ever get into the Eastern penitentiary. Few
OF them ever enter crime life and when they
do commit crimes they are almost invariably
crimes against person, not against property"
lone OF the greatest mistakes that ever were
made" continued the warden, twas in begin
ming the punishment Of men with hard labor.
Labor has done everything that is glorious.
naru laDOr Ii Wnat mas accomplished everv-
thing. 1t has made the state. It is therefore
absurd to sentence a man to hard labor, as
though hard labor were a punishment for
crime. In most cases il was the very want of
labor that produced the crime for which the
criminal was sentenced to Imprisonment at
hard labor. Labor ought not to be applied as
a punishment. 1t ought to be regarded as an
essential means for reformation
I'VE should expect great results from indus
trial training schools as preventives Of crime.
Get the boys into the habit Of working, of do
ing something with their hands, producing
something that is valuable, beautiful and COM
mands admiration and envy of th,ir skill.
That Is the secret Of curing fiat deal Of
crime. Every criminal. of course, needs an in
dividual treatment just as any patient at the
hands OF his doctors. II punishment is to be
added to incarceration then the question is
what kind of punishment, and that question is
preceded by another, viz, what produces the
crime? Punishment to be effective must be
adapted to the cause. We train the convicts to
shoemaking and other things here. There are
$50 working on shoes now"

THE wOULD-BE DUELIsTs.
An Effort Being Made to Settle Their
Difaculty.

Anew York Times special from Macon, Ga,
says: Your correspondent arrived here last
night after long hunt over the state to catch
up with Legislators Huf and Patterson, the
would-be duelists. Huff was at his home here
yesterday morning, away from the legislature,
and Patterson spent the forenoon in the Atlanta
assembly. The fight is still on, hot and heavy,
but the most influential people in Bib county,
including DR.. Z. w. Warren, have taken the
