o'clock today in the presence OF a
large assemblage OF ladies and gentlemen.
Lieutenant f. Wooley, u. S. A., acted as

their manifestation. The first place in
the junior companies was accorded to
Sergeant Henry ID. Knight, with First
Sergeant w. y. Luther a close second,
with but point difference.
The first place in the fenior companies
was awarded to Sergeant r. Tudor Gross
with Sergeant w. T.. Sarle (of War

readily determining the better drilled, and
only after many trials was it pronounced.
Major l.. r. Nadeau of the battalion
gave the orders for he Juniors and GEN
eral Dennis, the military instructor, for
the seniors.
The drill lasted 90 minutes and was very
nice exhibition. The youngest boy of the

LATEST
C0xEY IN COURT.
Judge Refuses to Grant Him
a Special Trial.

WAsHINGToN, May 4.-The district
police court was filled today at the trial OF
the three leaders OF the commonweal
army who invaded the Capitol grounds,
May day.
The comnionwealers were represented
by Attorneys s. Il. Lyman and A. A. Lip
scomb, formerly assistant district at
torney.
MIR. Lipscomb started the proceeding
with motion To quash the information
against Mr.. Coxey on the following
grounds:
THAT the law on which the proceeding
WIS based is unconstitutional in that
ii denies the rights OF citizens to
peaceably assemble; that IL confers unlaw-
fui privileges upon the vice-president
and the Speaker OF the House of Repre-
sentatives in permitting them to set 1t
aside.
The prosecuting officer, on his part, pre-
sented an amended information differing
from the original in merely charging
in the second count that the defendants
had trod upon the grass and sbrubbery,
emitting the allegation that they had in
jured ii.
Attorney Hyman offered motion to
quash, on the ground,that the value of the
property destroyed had not been set forth
nor tho jurisdiction OF the police court
shown.
Senator Allen spoke for the defense
claiming that the right To assemble and
petition the government could
not be interfered with by
police regulations. Dennis Kearney and
Carter Harrison addressed the people there
10 years ago. Carl Browne Interrupted
until the Judge ordered him to be silent.
Judge Miller, after arguments
closed, overruled the objections
OF counsel for the defence, hold
ing that the Capitol grounds act was con-
stitutional. He also denied Coxey a
special trial.
The empanelling of the jury was taken
up after the noon recess, and by the de-
PENDANTS attorneys candidates were
questioned closely about their reading
concerning the Coxey movement and their
opinions of il.
