TRIAL BOARD UPHELD
Mr.. Thomas Reports on the Walsh AZ
fair.
Much Discussed Trial of o Foreman
In the Fire Department-The
Charges DisprOved.

The assistant attorney for the District to-
day made a report to the Commissioners
upon the findings of the trial board of the
fire department in the case of Foreman John
A. Walsh. He says:
1.-The trial board found that the charge of
immortality and the use Of liquor by the fore
man was not proven, but that he had been
neglectful of duty in not taking cognizance
of reports made to him of a clique in his
company, causing bad state of affairs to
exist therein; that the trouble In the COM
pany had been caused by this clique, COM
posed of ex-Members Mahar ey and Martin
and Private Wenzell who was then a MEM
Der OF the company, and further that, in
their opinion, the statements made to the
trial board by the three last mentioned par
ties were not worthy of belief, and they
recommended that the copy of the findings
be attached to the resignation of Mahaney
and Martin for future reference, and they
further found that Private Wenzell was not
a hit man to be member of the fire depart
ment These findings were approved by the
chief engineer and the Commissioners.
Walsh was cautioned and WenZell removed
from the department.
he board OF investigation, after hearing
the testimony of all the witnesses produced
before the trial board and the testimony of
other witnesses, reported that~they did not
see why the findings of the former trial
the facts in the case did not warrant the
same.
AS requested by you, I was present and
conducted the examination of the witnesses
before the board Of investigation. This lat
ter board was composed of entirely differ
ent triers from the first board, so that six
reputable and disinterested triers have
examined and passed upon the matters in
controversy"
Mr.. Thomas refers to the objection of the
citizens committee to the composition of
the trial board, and their allegation that
the board is under the domination of the
chief engineer of the department.
There Is absolutely nothing" says Mr..
Thomas, upon which to ground the asser-
ton that either the trial board or the board
Of investigation in this case was under the
domination of the chief engineer of the de-
partment. The ex parte joint affidavit at
tached to the citizens report made by Mrs.
Julia Wenzell and Mrs. Mary Minnix GER
the committee seems to accord it. The
concluding paragraph of this joint affidavit
explicitly states that the atlantis cannot
recall Chief Paris exact words: and the
assault of the committee on Chief Paris is,
in my opinion, without Justification"
In conclusion he says: MY observation
of the board of investigation during it's
session was that its members appeared to
be independent. intelligent men, fully COM
petent to ascertain the facts and to weigh
the testimony: and l am of opinion that
the conclusion reached by them in this case
(Which was not free from difficulty, was
proper disposition of the matter, and that
the findings should not be reversed in any
particular
The Commissioners approved the report
and the case now stands closed.

Results u the Contests Up to This
Aftefn00n's Games.
With the progress of the croquet tourna-
ment on the local grounds the enthusiasm
increases and the games are watched with
the greatest interest. Today, notwith-
standing that 1t was by no means pleas
ant thing to sit out in the sun, there was
quite a large crowd of spectators who
followed the play closely for hours.
The greatest interest Of course, attaches
to the results in the first division, in which
the crack players are classed- The out
come Is by no means certain, and when the
leaders play each other there will be some
playing the like of which has probably
never been seen before in this city.
w. H. Wahly, the popular secretary of
the Rhode Island Avenue Club, is now
in the lead for first place. with a clean
record Of five wins. But he has yet to meet
g. G. Strong of New London, Conn. and
George W. johnson of Philadelphia, the
ons the champion and the other ex-cham-
pion of the national association, so that
he Will have no easy thing ahead of him.
Mr.. Strong has been beaten once already,
but 1t was creditable defeat. for, with
out any practice on the local grounds, he
went against DR.. Greenway. who is one
of the best players In the country and had
already played a number of games. Mr..
johnson has played but two games, both
of which he put to his credit. This after
noon he plays Mr.. Bell. and the chances
are he will make 1t three straight.
The results in the three divisions into
which the players are classed. up to 2
o'clock this afternoon, are as follows:
First divisions. c. Strong, won 3, lost 1;
DIR. Greenway, won f. lost l; H. G. Fay,

The Reason For Advertising

he 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,
special discount" for an
other and extra special
discount for still another.
Like price for like service
IS the only fair way.
