Row In the Republican County COM
mittee Meeting ut Chicago.
CHICAGO, September 1S-A meeting Of
the republican county central committee
was held at the Great Northern Hotel last
evening for the purpose of choosing a
chairman. For some time there has been
friction between the politicians supporting
the administration of Mayor George B.
Swift and others who are against him. In
cidental to the work of choosing the chair
man, it was intended that the factions
she uld get together" in harmony. They
got together all right, but not after the
fashion outlined in the program. There
and bloody noses. and the meeting gen.
orally was characterized by the widest
disorder.
The first fight of the evening occurred
when Deputy Sheriff William Goodwin Of
the anti-Swift faction attempted to force
his way into the room against the wishes
Of Buck" Mccarthy, Swift man. Nc
earthly landed on Goodwin's nose, broke it
IN two places, dashed out five of Goodwin's
teeth, and knocked him senseless to the
floor. The deputy sheriff was picked up
end carried away by his friends.
Detective Sergeant Gard, who was in the
rcCm, made an attempt to control the &C
tons of County Clerk James r. b. Van
Cleve, and the second battle of the even
ing was on. Van Cleve objected to the
officers interference, and promptly re-
ceiyed q crack over the Uranium from the
officers stick.
This aroused Van Cleves friends and a
wild rush was made for Gard. one man
seizing him by the neck and others by the
arms and legs. He was carried bodily
from the room. every anti-Swift man
within reach taking good hard whack at
him.
AS Gard was deposited in the hall Alder
man hammers unanswered in his rear and
planted a vigorous kick. Another rush
was then made for Gard and he was
thrown bodily out of the hallway, a free
fight being in progress while he made his
forced exit.
Commissioner of Public Works Kent was
standing in the committee room when this
fight came off. and the assertion was at
once made by the anti-Swift men that he
lad brought the police there to coerce the
action of the committee.
Loud cries were made of Throw Kent
out" Hang him. and Throw him out
the window" A rush was made in his
direction, and being near doorway, the
commissioner lost no time in making his
escape, leaving behind him fight between
his friends, anxious to protect him. and
the crowd of anti-Swift men DESTROYS of
getting at him.
Several more fights between individuals
occurred during the meeting. which finally
adjourned without result, save for the ap
pointment of Harmony committee,
which will endeavor to reconcile the two
factions.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Suspected Filibusters on Trial at
Wilmington.
State WANTED A DISAPPOINTMENT
The Court Denied the AppIica-
ton.
WING OF THE JURY

WILMINGTON, Del, September 1S.-The
twenty Cuban fllbusters recently arrested
near here we're placed on trial today in
The United States circuit court before Judge
Wales. When court was opened District
Attorney Vandegrift asked for a postpone
ment. claiming that the government was
awaiting some important evidence which
could not get here until next Wednesday.
Counsel for the prisoners opposed any
postponement. saying his clients were held
Under the charge Of crime, and should have
speedy trial.
Judge Wales said:
THE general rule IN charge of a mis-
demeanor of felony IS that the defendant
IS entitled to a speedy trial. This motion
FOR postponement is based on unsatisfac-
tory grounds There has been considerable
time lost. These Cubans are supposed to
be innocent. They are strangers, l under
stard, and, of course. must be under great
expense. l do not think the circumstances
IN the case will warrant postponement
III such evidence exists in Cuba we have
the command of the telegraph. 1t is in the
hands of the Spanish government. 1 do not
feel warranted in granting the motion of
the district attorney to continue this case"
When Judge Wales announced his decision
smile of satisfaction passed over the
faces of the Cubans.
Counsel for the defense filed demurrer
to several counts in the Indictment, on the
ground that the bill did not state suffi-
GENTLY against what country the alleged
exposition was going
Mr.. Vandegrift agreed with the counsel
Tor the defense in regard to the fault in
section - OF the indictment. He denied the
other alleged faults in the bill, and cited
authorities to support his contention, that
II was not necessary to place i'll the indict-
ments the particular country or power
against which the supposed expedition was
directed.
Senator Gray stated that the government
objected to throwing out nine of the counts
although there would still be thirty left
Ine indictments said that these men have
committed d crime. and they are entitled
10 know what is that crime. They are en-
titled to know what charge they are to
meet.
Judge Wales said these counts may be
eliminated from the indictments, and there
are others. He thought there was a want
OF certainty in the indictments.
The charge that the prisoners set on foot
military expedition is sufficient to hold
them for trial. The other counts are too
Indefinite, and the demurrer was sus-
tanned.
trial jury was then drawn. after which
court adjourned until ESQ o'clock this af-
ternOon.

ED UCATIONAL DIRK
That of the Y. n. O. A. to Be Resumed This
Month.
Four Large Rooms In the Lehman
Building Secured for the Purpose
Courses of Instruction.

At a MEETING of the board of trustees of
the Young Mems Christian Association held
Monday afternoon it was decided that
work in the educational department should
be resumed at once, notwithstanding the
recent fire, which destroyed all the appa-
ratus and furniture of that branch of the
association work. Accordingly, Secretary
Pugh has today arranged with the man.
ager of the Lehman building, where the as-
scciation is now temporarily quartered, for
the rental Of four large rooms on the floor
first above the street, adjoining the three
rooms that are used for the Office and re-
ligious work of the Y. NJ. C. A. This en-
terpr:se will mean an expenditure of up
wards of s., 500 this year alone
Rcems Well Suited to the Purpose.
The rooms are large and well lighted, and
exceptionally well suited to the purpose
fer which they have been secured. One Of
them in particular is great Improvement
over the quarters assigned to the educa-
tional work of the association in the old
building. 1t is to be used for the classes
in mechanical and architectural drawing,
which will be new feature of the work.
Electric lights will be put in the rooms, so
that every student will be well provided
with illumination. Seats will be provided
for nearly one-half more pupils than were
accommodated in the old place, so that the
fire has really benefited this department.
Last year the enrolment was 1913, and Sec
rotary Pugh expects to start the year with
at least 800 students. and believes that he
may have to increase the facilities. He
says he can take care of about 500.
Ten new typewriters will be bought by
the association for the business classes.
Those formerly used were loaned to the
association and were destroyed by the fire.
The rooms will be fitted with improved
school furniture, double desks and single
seats. The rooms are much easier Of ven
tilation and illumination than those in the
old building, and are exactly as accessible
The Course of Instruction.
The course of instruction includes COM
mercial arithmetic. bookkeeping. penman-
ship. stenography, typewriting and English
and correspondence in the business depart
ment; algebra and geometry in the scien-
tific department, and drawing and vocal
music as miscellaneous studies. There will
be a corps of seven teachers. practically
the same as those who served last year.
The classes will be started Monday night
September 30. The Friday evening previous
there will be reunion of the teachers and
old pupils.
The meeting of business men that was
to be held today for the aid Of the new
building fund has been abandoned, owing
to the fact that most of the men interested
in the project are still out of town. Such
a meeting will be held some time in Oc-
tober.

Cockades on Servants Hats
FIcm the London Truth.


81 should be much obliged" writes an
anonymous u. p" IF you would inform
me in your next issue whether Justice of
the peace is entitled in virtue of that
office. to mount cockades on his servants
hats?" 1t always pleases me to be asked
questions like this because it implies that
I possess vast stores of knowledge on mat
tiers as to which l am as ignorant as a
babe My impression is that J. p is
not in that state Of direct dependence upon
the crown for his livelihood which was
originally implied by the wearing of a
cockade. But 1 am quite sure that there
is no law when prevents his adjoining lis
servants hats in this way-or, for the mat
ter of that, his own either; and in that
sense he is certainly entitled" to do So
But the truth is that a cockade in a SER
wants hat mas long ceased to be anything
but an emblem of snobberv, and every job
master in London now sends his coachman
out with it-provided the hirer is willing
to pay the prescribed charge Cor that deco
ration.

FREE BATHING BEACH
Superintendent Stevens Submits His An.
nual Report
Favors the Fool System and Asks a
Change of Site-Larser
Appropriations.

Superintendent Stevens Of the bathing
beach yesterday afternoon submitted his
annual report to the Commissioners. Dur
Ing the bathing season. which only lasted
for three months, the beach accommodated
29,lOO bathers. But one death from drown
Ing occurred during the season. Improve
ments were made during the year cost
ing about 1900. He refers to the number
OF lady bathers and says it is gratifying
fact that the number is increasing all the
time. Supt. Stevens calls attention to the
boat livery adjoining the beach and says
1t has become nuisance and should be
removed. He also thinks the three police
men detailed to look after the beach should
be kept en- duty there all the year. He re-
news his recommendation of last year
that a POOL be constructed and says:
The Pool System.
Every years experience adds evidence
that the pool system, long ago recon-
mended, is the only means OF securing
reasonable safety, broad bathing area,
and water always at one depth, and al
though all things are not ripe for occu-
pancy of the inner basin, certainly plans
are maturing that render immediate ac-
ton necessary if we would obtain that
ideal spot.
In response to my inquiries, Mai Da-
Wis. engineer officer in charge of filling the
flats, says it is his intention to fill UP this
basin this fall. If Maj. Davis could be per-
suaded to fill in only about two feet in
stead of sixteen, to evenly grade the banks,
TO level roadway around it, lay an eight
foot pipe, and make a gate at its mouth
and cover in the pipe. making solid ground
all around the inner basin, he could do it
for $1,000 or less, saving the government
about $4,000 and leaving a beautiful pool
surrounded with hundreds of common will
lows and few weeping willows. which are
Already or a years growth. This pool is
twice as long as the present beach and
would furnish ten times as much safe
bathing area as there is at present.
Supt. Stevens closes his report with a
recommendation that $4,000 be approprt-
ated next year for the support of the beach
and that suitable rules be formulated and
made part OF the police regulations for the
use of the beach. He also asks that the
commissioners ask Congress to exchange
the ground now occupied by the beach for
the little basin to the north, which he con-
siderS a better site

An Old Question in New Form.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Louis Moarey lives on the Montgomery
road near Hunt street. So does Mike Mich
olet Louis owns several chickens and so
does Mike. Some time ago one of Louis
chickens hoped over into Mikes yard and
laid an egg. Then one of Mikes chickens
hoped onto the egg, and the result was as
fine a chick as was ever seen on the hill.
When Louis saw it he "shooed' it over in
his yard, and then Mike "shooed' it back
again. Then came the argument. Louis
claimed the chick because his hen laid the
egg, and Mike said it was his because his
chicken Matched it out. They talked and
talked, and finally they came to blows.
They smashed each other. and while roll
ing around the ground Louis got his thumb
between Mikes teeth, and Mike came down
with his molars and nearly bit it off. So
Louis had him arrested for assault and
battery.

ONLY ONE POLE.
All That Remains of the lexington
Trolley.

All That Remains of the lexington
Trolley.
At the Intersection Of Florida avenue
and New York avenue one trolley pole
stands. All the others within the limits
of the city are but memory. President
Newbold is anxious to retain this pole and
the switch there, because he thinks it
would be of great benefit to the public in
allowing them 20 transfer from the horse
cars to the electric cars direct, without be-
ing obliged to cross the street and walk
some distance, as they have to do at pres
ent. This morning he appeared before the
Commissioners in company with Attorney
Ridout, and asked permission to retain
this role. IIe also stated that it was the
policy of the company to make its trunk
line run from lexington direct to 18th and
G. streets.
The Commissioners while reservine their
decision intimated that they had no right
to allow the company to maintain the pole
and it is believed when the written appli-
cation is made it will be refused.

The Farmers Boys school.

from Coleman s Rural World.
The school that the farmer should send
his boys to. If he desires them to inherit
his acres and keep his homestead, is where
his boy can be taught agriculture pure and
indebted in all its branches and the school
that gives employment to teachers that
have good, practical agricultural sense, in
stead of theoretical agricultural nonsense.
The great trouble in many schools where
agricultural science is taught is that the
teachers are not practical men. Too many
of them If given hundred acres of the
best land in the state, fully equipped with
live stock and farming utensils, could not
run the business five years without putting
q mo 'tgage on the farm. Therein is where
much of the trouble lies at the present
day in the education Of the farmer boy,
Too mu' h of it is of the kind that educates
him off the farm instead Of preparing him
for his work.

The Reason For Advertising.

The Reason For Advertising
Advertisers Use The Star
because they get profitable
results from their advertising
in it.
They know, also, that
each one pays a like price
for a like service.
Advertising space is not
given to one house in order
that it may act as a decoy
duck for others.
No discount" for one,
Especial discount for an
other and extra special
discount" for still another.
Like price for like service
