Frank Roys Will he Fed at the Government
Expense for Some Time.

Frank Roys viii Re Fed at the Government
Expense for Some Time.
South Washington was deprived Of the pres
ence Of one Of its colored citizens this morn
ing. His name is Frank Roys and he changed
his boarding house from that section to the
extreme eastern part of the District, where he
will not have to perform any manual labor for
his livelihood. The change was all caused by
Franks successful attempt to procure money
from Mr.. George g. Storz. He obtained 81
and world have received SO more had he been
telling the truth.
NJ. Storz assaulted on the street early
Christmas morning by several young colored
men. He did not know the men and SO he
offered a reward Of s1O for the arrest and con-
victiOn Of them. Roys and a man named Jack
son interested themselves in tine matter ard
Rows furnished the names Of four young col
ored men When the names were furnished
Roys got "a and when they were arrested jack
son YVES given an additional 50 for Rows, with
the understanding that the balance of So would
be paid npOn conviction of the prisoners
They we're taken 10 court but Rows gave evil
dence 10 snow that the defendants were not
guilty and that he lad been working Mr. Storz
for the money.
The four prisoners were acquitted and Po-
hceman Murphy subsequently arrested Roys.
Judge Miller said that he heard the other
case last week and he took notes of the testi-
mony, expecting Rows 70 return as prisoner
He AFRO thought that Jackson was involved in
the transaction. and thought that Roys ought
never be permitted in court except in irons
He held Roys for the grand Jury and COM
mitted him TO jail in default of 81 900 bail.
Another person charged with dishonesty was
Charles Baxter. ffteen-year-old boy He was
charged with having stolen $3.50 from a COM
panion named Charles Daily. Both bows we're
employed messengers by the Postal Tele-
graph Company. Their lsbors ended late at
night, and the boys, instead Of going a long
distance to their homes. went to a cab stable
down town TO spend the night. They retired
for the night. and in the morning DAILY discoy-
cred that he had been robbed and he made
complaint to the police.
Baxter had robbed him and had gone off on
e lark. With a companion he went to the Zoo.
and the monkeys and elephants helped them to
enjov their trip. Peanuts. cakes and candies
were fed TO the animals and in the afternoon
the boys returned to the city and went to
hernan's Iheater. where Baxter was arrested by
Policeman Harry Wannen. He had $3.50 Of
the money in his pocket when arrested.
His father appeared in court this morning
and asked that his sor be sent to the reform
school. He told of the trouble the boy had
given him and said he was sorry to have to
come in and make the request he had made
Don't you think Won can get along with
him without having him sent to the reform
SCHOOL, asked the court
Its penitentiary reform school," said the
father. land for his own good / would rather
have him sent to the reform school"
Judge Miller thereupon sentenced the boy to
the reform school

RAILS ON THE AOUEDUCT BRIDGE
A Hearing as to the Washington and Airing
ton KaiIrOad's Request.

n nearing as to the Washington and Arling-
ton Railroads Request.
The hearing Of the subcommittee of the Sem
ate District committee on the use Of the Aaue-
duct bridge by the Washington and Arlington
road was continued yesterday afternoon after
The STAR went to press. Mr.. Geo. ". King of
Georgetown opposed the proposition to allow
the road TO come up VI street to 3D. but the
charter which the road now has grants them
this privilege, and he changed his opposition to
allowing the road TO cross the river by means
Of ferry. az he claimed that this would greatly
interfere with the navigation Of the Potomac
He was perfectly willing that the bridge should
be used. but thoughJ the best method of set
ting the matter would be to grant the WASH
ington and Georgetown the right to extend its
tracks to the bridge.
Mr.. Judd argued in favor of the use of the
bridge. directing his remarks principally to the
undoubted strength of the structure to bear
the weight of the cars.
Senator Hunton interrupted the speakers to
read 10 the committee three petitions which
had been forwarded to him. One of these
favored the use of the bridge while the other
two signed by persons using the bridge every
day To drive into the city opposed its use as
taking away from them their only safe method
OF reaching town.
Mr.. ID. l. King, president of the company,
T..
He recited the history Of the company and gave
his story OF why the company failed to build
the bridge at the Three Sisters a. their charter
empowered them to do. He contradictsd the
statement that the road was in the hands Of
spectators. and said that honest stockholders
now controlled II and they wanted aid.
Ex-senator Conger spoke in advocacy of the
bill. taking the ground that the government
ought TO provide the very best means possible
for the citizens Of the United States to reach the
National cemetery and this could only be done
by allowing the Use of this bridge by . railroad
company.
Maj. Lacey was strongly opposed to the oc-
cupancy of the bridge by railroad, as he be-
heVed it should be kept clear for the use of
those who live in Virginia and whose wives and
daughters drive to the city every day, and who
could not do so with green horses if an electric
car was run over II.
Ex-Detective Block, as interested in the Po-
tomac and Falls Church road, said that he
thought if one road was allowed to cross the
bridge that all others should be granted the
same privilege.
