low: II found this morning that the occu-
parts of the camp were scattering the barb
age, offal and dirty water all over the
grounds Of the camp, and are using the
fence corners and dividing line of fences for
defeating and urinating purposes One of
the managers, known as oklahoma SAM
Informed me that they were using sur
rounding vacant houses for privy purposes.
Upon inquiry learned that no such permits
sion had been given by the owners or
agents for the houses, Mrs. Frank. Wood
ward, 1llI list street, stated that the men
mad taken possession Of the priVy in her
yard without consent and We're constantly
tramping through her premises.
The square is extremely filthy and a pos
ltlve menace to health. The owner Of the
lot. Mr.. Samuel Bensinger, has been noti-
ned to speedily abate the nuisance The
accumulated horse manure mentioned in
yesterdays report, has been removed in
part, but enough of IL still remains to breed
disease The abandoned house, formerly
referred to. has been demolished and the
trench filled. thus abating that particular
other places.
Il also learned incidentally that Gen.
Coxey. so-called, had removed his blooded
horses from the camp evidently Considering
eiiat sithough the place might be good
enough Tor human beings IL is not a nit
place for his stock
In conclusion l beg TO express the opin-
ion that the camp should be placed under
strict medical surveillance for the protec-
ton OF the public HEALTH

Resolutions Adopted.

IL that one-half Of eighty-five thousand coll
ored people in this community are IDLE and
many OF them are 80 vicious that the thor
ongn PREPARATIONS ostensibly to meet the
Coxey demonstration were really made to
prevent lawiessness on the part of the coll
ored population Of the District
AT the meeting II was announced that q
gentleman Of this city. desiring to be per-
fectly fair with the superintendent, ad-
dressed note to Major Moore asking him
as to the correctness of the statement, but
no reply had been received. Therefore res
oiutions were adopted to the effect that the
alleged statement Of Col Moore is harmful
10 the colored people as orderly and peace
able citizens and is calculated to stir up
hatreds and antipathies.
las there Is no foundation in fact" saws
the resolution, for the charge made against
us by the superintendent of police, and as
there has never been in the history of the
District OF Columbia an organization of col
ored people for unlawful purpose, and as
there is no more viciousness among the COL
ored people than among the white people
the unjust injurious and hurtful assertion
attributed to the major of police should be
Withdrawn.

In order to justify the extraordinary ex.

OF a war of races is wholly out of place here

Coxey jumped the fence onto the grass.

Ger Murphy was the first to lay hands on
Browne. Witness understood from Murphy
that Browne was arrested for carving Q
banner into the Capitol grounds. The only
oHense ne saw Coxey commit was when the
later jumped the fence onto the grass
Coxey was about thirty feet from the army
when he jumped the fence. and the farther
ne walked or ran the farther he got from
his army
II saw Coxey and Browne step upon the
grass, and this / thought was sufficient
ground on which to base the conclusion
that they did so step
This answer was made to a question of
young lawyer for the defense, who was
making an exhibition of himself by putting
hairsphing questions on trivial matters.
He moved TO strike out all Of the witness
evidence. on the ground that he used the
word conclusion" in one of his statements,
instead of ''eyesight-" This lawyer tried 10
cast shadow Of doubt upon the whole of
OFFICER Laws testimony. because he did not
notice any blades of grass turned where
Browne had stepped. nor did he stop to
count the number OF blades 50 turned. The
audience had great deal Of amusement at
this stage Of the proceedings.

asphalt in front of the House steps, Jones
was there and interfered with him. and
he showed him back into the crowd Jones
carried banner similar to the one Browne
carried. Officer Fathers placed Jones un-
der arrest. Christopher Columbus was very
much excited, and shouted that II was
all great outrage on the fair name of the
American people. The whole crowd was in
disorder. but he made no other arrests as
Jones was the only man who carried a BAN
ner or seemed to be leader in the trouble
This evidence was supplemented by that
