NO JURISDICTION,
Police Court Decision Overruled by Judge
| Hagner Yesterday.

Police Court Decision Overruled by Judge
Hagner Yesterday.
Judge Hagner yesterday afternoon, in the pc
tition Of H. K. Patterson, president of the
American Mutual Aid Society," who was fined
800 in the Police Court for conducting an In
surance business without first having obtained
the consent Of the District Commissioners, dis
charged him from custody, the court deciding
that the Police Court was without jurisdiction
in the matter. The case came before Judge
Hagner upon writ Of habeas corpus, counsel
for Patterson contending that the penalty was
recoverable by civil process and not by any
criminal procedure.
Judge Haener. in rendering his decision. said
that usually points Of law were not to be re-
viewed on writ of habeas corpus. But the writ
related practically to the jurisdiction OF the
holding or committing tribunal Therefore,
the only question in the present case was that
OF the jurisdiction Of the Police Court in the
case. The acts relating to the offense said that
the penalty should be 800, to be collected in
the courts Of the District So the inquiry next
arose what courts were meant. 1t was clear
that the Police Court was not one of the courts
contemplated, and hence on that ground alone
it appeared that the contention Of
the petitioner correct, and that he
should be discharged. In addition to
that the penalties to be recovered were not
made to appear AS criminal ones, and therefore
it could not be said that they could be collected
by other than civil process. While the act
complained of might be referred to as an
offense, it could hardly be held that 1t was an
offense over which the Police Court had juris-
diction. So. without deciding how or where
the penalties for such offenses should be col
lected. 1t was sufficient to say that the Police
Court had no such Jurisdiction conferred upon
1t in the case at issue Hence. the petition
would be dismissed and the petitioner dis
charged from custody.

Yes,erdav'. games resul,ed as follows;


A crowd of 9.256 people yesterday welcomed
the Philadelphisns homo from their successful
western trip and saw them win from Washing
ton with Taylor, their reserve pitcher, in the
box. Each OF the home players as he came to
the bat was heartily applauded. Delehanty was
presented with a silver bat and ball and admir-
srs Of Mailman gave that player . diamond
locket.
Maui kept the Phillies guessing for the first
four innings. but after that he was hit freely.
The visitors had eight men left on bases in the
first three innings Commencing with the
fourth. however, Taylor pitched very steadily,
only four scattered hits being made.
The crowd wasn't feeling very hilarious. es-
pecially In the second and third innings. when
Washington had three men left on bases each
time. But in the fifth inning the sun seemed
to have brighter look, as Hamilton made q
thres-base hit and Thompson followed 1t up
with double. This tied the score and after
that the Phillies proceeded to fatten up their
averages until eight runs had been Tailed. 1t
was in the eighth inning that Maui suffered the
most as five runs were made and two bases on
balls. a three Dagger and three singles. As
Washington failed to score again the crowd felt
excellent terms with itself at the close Of the
game.

More Armor Plate Tests.

thirteen-inch plate, representing the side
armor Of the battle ship Maine, will probably
soon be tested at the Indian Head proving
grounds. This plate has been Harveyized and
Is the heaviest armor yet subjected to that
treatment and there is much curiosity in ord
nance circles to see how it will compare in
powers Of resistance with the seventeen inch I'M
Harveyized plate recently tested at the same
place. The plate comes from the Bethlehem
iron works and in the test will be attacked by
a ten-inch gun, firing a Carpenter she'll Owing
to the expense of sending the plate to the In
dian Head proving grounds it has been pro-
posed that the test be made at Bethlehem,
where there is every facility for the work.
Although the question is still unsettled. the
probabilities are in favor Of Indian Head as the
place where the test will be made.

ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBAUaH's.-There was a change Of bill at
Albaugh's last night, "Prince Methusalem'
succeeding the "Princess Of Trebizonde,' and
the wisdom Of the substitution was apparent in
the size and applause Of the audience. This
opera is one Of the most tuneful of Strauss
compositions. and it has also an element Of
comedy that adds to its interest The parts
were generally well taken.

Rotten Telegraph Poles.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In an account in Q New York paper this
morning Of the fall Of an electric light pole in
City Hall Park yesterday it is stated: 1.-The pole
appeared to have fallen Of its own weight and
had rotted clear through at the point where i,
entered the ground"
An inspection Of the three immense telegraph
poles on 18th stl eet opposite the treasury, will
show that their bases are so rotted that the wood
may be detached with the finger nail That
they have stood so long is probably due more to
the network OF wires which act as guys to sup
themselves. II a sudden wind storm should
snap these wires and precipitate the poles into
this frequently crowded thoroughfare and loss

GARBAGE COMPLAINTS.
There We're but Twenty -one This Morning.
Result Of Inspection.

There Woro but TWenty-one This Morn1ng-
Result Of Inspection.
Chow is the garbage service todsy2' asked a
STAR reporter OF Chief Clerk Tracy of the
health department this morning. HAS 1t
grown better or worse?"
ut could not get much worse" was his reply,
"but it might get considerably better"
Mr.. Tracy's attention was called to the de-
creased number of complaints made this morn
ing, and he said that the complaints were al
ways fewer during the latter part of the week.
Just after Sundays accumulation the COM
plants increase. Many and perhaps a majority
Of persons live better on Sundays than they do
during the week, and consequently there is
more garbage on their premises just after Sun
days than At any other time.
Ihere were fourteen complaints made to the
health once this morning by mail and telephone
and seven were reported by the police, making
q total OF twenty-one.
WeI-Biown Horns.
The Commissioners have now given permits
sion to the National Sanitary Company to use
horns on the garbage routes, something which
would not be permitted by the previous board
OF Commissioners because there was section in
adopted are the same as those
in use in Baltimore by the sanitary company.
The horns are to be used after $50 o'clock a.
m. The sounding Of the horn is to be regarded
as sufficient notice to householders to open
their gates for the garbage men although the
collectors have been notified to pay strict atten-
ton to see that all the gates are tried and that
all garbage found is removed.
The Inspectors Report.
Mr.. George A. Howe, the inspector, has in
vestigated nearly every complaint made during
the last two days and found most Of them well
founded. In some few instances he found that
the householders were responsible.
Inspector Landreau Of the sanitary company
said that the horns had been sent FOR and he
thought they would probably be here in time
for use tomorrow or Monday.
The report Of Inspector Thomas shows that
there were thirty-six carts in the service yes
terday and that ffty-six loads we're collected.
