Testing the New Phones.

The rev telephones at the Interior De-
partment arouse a good deal of curiosity
and are subjected to a great variety of
tests daily. A favorite experiment is to
turn the diaphragm away from the speaker
and talk to the young lady who presides
at the switchboard. She hears what is
said. but remarks that the speaker must be
a ''long way off,
Last night test was made of the Keelyn
micl ophone, which showed remarkable re-
suits. One of the department officials
whispered into the instrument at the main
door OH F street and was heard perfectly
at another telephone at the other side of
the building. Then he moved down the
cGrri,lor toward It'll street, then half way
w toward G street TO the door of the su-
perinterdent's office. and from there his
voice was caught by the telephone and
distinguished at the end of the connection.
The distance was upward of 800 feet.

SEARCH KEPT UP.
No Arrests Yet in the Train WreckinE
Case,

No Arrests Yet in the Train WreckinE
Case.
The Baltimore and Ohio detec tives are
making every possible effort to effect the
capture of the men who made such a des-
perate attempt to wreck and rob the mon
ey train on the Metropolitan branch of
the road near the Big Monocacy bridge
Monday night, as stated in Tuesdays Star.
So far as could be ascertained there were
no new developments in the case today.
Chief Grammar of the railroad detective
corps is in Baltimore directing the investi-
cation. and nearly every detective in the
company's employ is working on the case
Should the chief man of the gang be cap
tured there will be trouble in having
him identified, for there are fully two dozen
persons who saw him. When about the
vicinity of Washington juno ton and Point
of Rocks this man, as stated yesterday
took his meals at house and paid for
them and was known to have spentIseveraI
nights in a bcx car.
Just how many men there were in the
party is not known. 1t is known that there
were two of them together, and the detec-
tives think that a third and perhaps a
fourth one managed to get separated from
them. This, they think, accounts for the
whistling in the woods when the railroad
men started back in search of the gang.
Thus far the detectives have been unable
to trace the men farther than a short dis
lance tn!S size OIL bickerSOnS station.
AS heretofore printed in The Star the de-
tectives employed! on the case had an idea
that the men came here, but now they
seem TO think that they have not reached
the city, but are somewhere in the woods
along the line of the river between here
and the scere of the attempted "hold-up"
The railroad detectives are covering the
country as weN as possible, and while no
arrests have yet been made in the vicinity
of the place where the dynamite was used
it is almost certain that any strangers
found there will be arrested.
The man who purchased the dynamite
is by no means a tramp. When seen about
Washington Junction he was not dressed
in bad clothes, but was more than COM
fortably dressed and had some little mon
ey, but when he made the purchase of the
explosive it is thought he spent his last
dollar. No one was ever seen with him
while about the junction, and his accom-
plices, 1t is thought. were either in hiding
in the woods or they came there on the
evening the dynamite was used.
This afternoon. Detective John Lloyd
called az police headquarters and requested
Inspector Hollinberger to have his men use
extra efforts to capture the men. The ine
spector telephoned to several of the stations
and ordered the mounted men to scour the
county in their efforts to find the would-be
train robbers.

Runaor of a Probable Attempt to Iupeach
Mayor Steinman.

Rumor of a Probable attempt to Inpeach
Mayor Steinman.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 10.-If an
apparent authentic report in circulation
here be true, move Will be made next
week to secure, If possible, the impeach-
ment of Mayor Ben U. Steinman for
alleged malfeasance in office.
Some years ago the Southern Pacific
Company completed levee on the west
side of the city along the water front, the
city at that time being unable to finish the
undertaking. AS compensation the rail-
road company took $4,000 of what is
known as ievec bonds. These bonds were
to bear interest at per cent. Sacramento
has Funded Debt Commission, of which
8. Smith and c. II. Cummings are mem
bers. The latter is cashier of the Southern
Pacific Company and also cashier of local
bank of which Steinman is president.
Some days ago Smith and Cummings in
conference in Steinman's bank agreed,
there being enough money to the credit of
the Funded Debt Commission, to take up
these interest bearing bonds and thereby
save the municipality an outlay of $500
annually in interest.
With this end in view they went to San
Francisco early this week, but were in
formed by the railroad officials that Stein
man had already purchased the bonds. 1t
is rumored that Steinman will be pro-
ceeded against under section of the Polit-
ical Code which prohibits municipal
officer from such transaction as he is re-
ported to have engaged in. Commissioner
Smith declined to discuss the matter, and
Cummings could not be found at late
hour tonight.

Quick Termination of the San Jose Ab-
dstctiOn Case.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 10.-Mrs. Clar-
linda Rothe was examined on charge oil
abduction before Justice Gass this morn
ing and the case against her dismissed.
The charge was sworn to by her husband,
William Rothe, motorman on the First
street Railway, who accused her of kidnap-
ing their two-year-old son, Elmer, from
the residence OF Rothe's mother on June
IA. A short time before the couple agreed
to separate and Rothe began a suit for
divorce. The child was to remain in the
care of its grandmother until its custody
should be settled by the court.
On June IA Mrs. Rothe called to see the
child and took it home with her. Rothe
went before the Superior Court and got an
order citing Mrs. Rothe to appear with the
child and show cause why it should not be
returned to the custody of its grandmother.
The matter has been continued from time
to time and about two weeks ago Rothe
appeared before Justice Gass and swore to
a charge of abduction.
Rothe took the stand this morning and
admitted that the matter was pending in
the Superior Court, but said he had got
tired of the postponements made in that
court and had sworn to a complaint in the
Justice Court for the sake of hurrying the
matter up. This statement did not please
the court and he reproved Rothe for adopt
ing such tactics and Immediately dismissed
the case against Mrs. Rothe.
