the First Baptist Church. Sixteenth and

OF the 700 members were present.
This remarkably large choir of trained

for which it was specially organized.
More properly it is the result of Washing
tons fine musical talent and the energy Of
the leader, Mr.. Percy 8. Foster, who has
won for himself an International repu-
tatioD as a musica director.

AT The END OF THEIR ROPE
Alleged College Boys Held for the
Grand Jury.
They Are Charged With Having OBJ
tained Money by Means of a
Worthless Check.

Harry X. Ralch and George L. Day, the
two alleged Dartmouth college boys, who
were brought from Baltimore last night
by Detective Boyd, were before Judge
Kimball this morning on the charge of OBJ
tanning money on a worthless check
The two looked pale and haggard, un-
shaven, and un kempt, and have just fin
ished their sentence in the Baltimore Jail
forbeating hotel.
The particular charge against them is
that Of obtaining 500 from Mr. David
Curran, of the War Department, on a worth
less check Ralch called on Mr.. Curran on
July 81 last, and after long chat about
old friends and family relations asked
him to cash the check.
The check was purported to be signed
by Hiram Hitchcock, of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, and was drawn ON the
Portsmouth National Bank.
Mr.. Curran, nothing daunted, gave him
the money and deposited the check, which
finally came back to him marked ..forg-
ery.'
Mr. Curran swore out a warrant for the
two and they were apprehended in Baltl-
more.
Young Balch, it appears, is Dartmouth
student and the nephew of the proprietor
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, whose name
he forged.
Both the boys pleaded guilty to the
charge and were held in $500 bond apiece
Tor appearance before the grand jury.

FAIR PLAY THEIR POLICY
Metropolitan Men VIII Stand by the
Twelve-Hour Agreement.
1t Has Thirty Days to Run, and the
Leaders Are Not Disposed to
Act Hastily.

President Phillips, of the Metropolitan
line, has not yet decided what course he
will take regarding the disposition Of
Supervisor Elliott He has the testimony
taken yesterday under consideration, and
said to-day that he would reach decision
in a few days
The question of reducing the number of
working hours to ten, instead of twelve,
as at present, is also q matter which has
been agitated, and the executive commit
tee of the Railway Union was authorized
at the meeting of the union held last Sun
day night to wait upon Mr. Phillips to-
morrow and urge the reduction.
1t seems, however, that about a month
ago, when the men were working from
thirteen to fourteen hours q day, the sub
ject of reducing the time was brought
up, and the president agreed to cut the time
down to twelve hours. This was salts
factory to the men at that time, and they
those terms for at least sixty days.
As the time has not expired there is dis
position ON the part of some of the lead
ing members OF the union to take no step
looking to a reduction of the time until
the expiration of the sixtyday limit
named in the paper.
A great many Of the men wanted to go
on irrespective of the agreement, on the
ground that President Phillips had broken
his promises to them, and they should not
respect theirs. But the leaders contended
that two wrongs never made a right, and
thought it would be the best policy to wait,
so 1t is doubtful If the committee will wait
upon President Phillips tomorrow in re-
gard to the matter.

This Week.
The meeting of the board of school
trustees which was called for last night
was postponed on account of the illness
of the president, Mr.. James W. Whelpley.
No date has been arranged for the meet
ing apd it is thought that it will not be

has everything in complete order, and
there is nothing pending except the ap-
pointment of the new trustees, which is
causing some little excitement.
In the case of DR. "A. H. Wilmer, the trus-
tee of the sixth division, whose term of
office expired short time ago, it has
been decided to extend his term until the
board can give more thorough attention
to the qua lificatioDs of the applicants
for his position.
DR.. Wilmer is a candidate for reappoint-
ment, and as he has given great satisfac-
ton to the citizens of Anacostia, where
his division is situated, it is very probable
he viii succeed himself.

NO FLAW IN SHIP FRAMES.
Interesting Tests Conducted at the
Naval Proyinu Grounds,

Interesting Tests Conducted at the
Naval Proving Grounds.
At the Indian Head Proving Ground yes
tertiay the Naval Ordnance Board held a
second and final test of a target Of armor
plate and framing, representing an exact
tide section of the battieship Iowa.
The target was 1S feet long, z 1-2 feet
high and 6 1-2 feet deep, and was bolted
to heavy cross timbers. The face was a
14-inch double forged steel plate, backed
by five inches of oak and fastened by bolts
to the framing-a box-like structure Of
half-inch steel five feet deep, divided into
numerous compartments by bulkheads OF
half Inch plates. IT. go -
/ In the previous test two shots had been
fired at this plate from a 10-iDch gun and
one from a l2-inch gun without injuring
the framing in the beast, while the plate
itself more than exceeded the require
ments, though penetrated and slightly
cracked by the shell from the larger gun.
Yesterdays test was for tbs purpose OF as
certaining what damage would result to
the framing of a efSfp II her armor were
pierced by projectile and a heavier gun.
A 13-inch was therefore used. The shell,
weighing 1,100 pounds. was given a veioc-
ity OF 800 feet per second by $50 pounds
of brown powder-considered sufficient to
pierce 1T-inch armor. But one shot was
fired, and that passed through the plate,
backing. etc, nd, striking some object, was
DETECTED and lost in the woods back Of
the target, instead OF burying itself in the
Earth, az was intended.
The plate exceeded expectations, two
cracks in addition To tue hole made by the
shell. being the extent OF the damage.
As for the framing, the only question
was whether the damage would be local,
confined to the portion through which
the projectile passed, or whether the
sntire structure would be demolished,
the rivets pulled out, the bulkheads buckled,
etc. Three divisions through which the
Ihell tore its way were crumpled like
paper. and were partly carried away with
the projectile, but the remainder of the
framing was intact, with not a rivet
started.
Naval Constructor Stahl, who designed
tue framing test, was highly pleased
with the result. The experiment, he said,
which was the first test of the framing
of modern war vessels, had demonstrated
beyond doubt that the frame work was
as strong as the armor, which was all
that could be asked for it.

|EORA CLAII DP IN COURT
Judge Bradley Continues the Frazer
Case at the Lswyrs' Request
Olney Restraining1 order still Holds,
However, and q Long Litiga-
tton Is Locked for.

The suit of Mrs Annie W. Frazer against
James e. Dexter and Secretary OF State
Olney has by c5nsent Of counsel been indeff
nitely postponed.
The restraining order granted against
the defendants will continue in effect, how
ever, until the case is finally disposed Of.
This is the suit growing out Of the Mora
claim brought by Mrs. Frazer last Friday
TO enjoin Dexter from collecting and Sec
retary Olney from paying the first defend
ants claim In the lawyers fees In the
famous claim until settlement between
Mrs. Frazer and-Mr Dexter could De reach
ed concerning debt claimed to be due the
former from the latter.
Mrs. Frazer alleged that Dexter was In
debted to her In the sum OF $1,000 for
Virginia real estate bought by him. She
said he promised 10 pay this outo fthe money
that would accrue 10 him chen the Mora
claim was paid.
The case was made returDabie to-day,
but Mr.. H. o. Claugtton. counsel for Mrs.
Frazer, was compelled to leave the city,
and will be gone several days. An agree
mcnt was entered into between himself and
Messrs. Cook & suDderla nd, Dexter's s
attorneys, whereby II was decided to ask
for continuance of the case.
Messrs. Cook & Sunderland will proba-
bly, call TO their assistance another lawyer, !,
and an interesting fight will doubtless
grow out of the case. The attorneys will
soon have Mr.. Dcxter's answer prepared /,
and will file 1t In the course Of few days.
This answer, it is understood, will touch
upon the allegations shat Mr.. Nathaniel
Paige, one of the prime lawyers in the
Mora claim suit, has assigned to third
parties in the neighborhood OF $41 900
more interest in the 40 per cent. attorneys
fees than he is entitled to.
II such assignment has been made, the
lawyers say this case is but the stepping
stone to countless suits, which must neces-
sarily follow, and will keep senor Aora's
cause before the public for many months to
come.
