was all right, and, without examining il.
had the girls who work in his Office make
up the forms and run off the paper
About two hours after he had mailed his
entire edition he made the startling dis
covery that he had printed a page Of the

Their Action in Dropping Prof. Greg
orY Lust MAY Sustained.

Their Action in Dropping Prof. Greg
CRY Last May Sustained.
At special meeting Of the board of
trustees of Howard Uni, ersity yesterday
afternoon 1t was decided by vote of ten
to six to sustain the action of the board
last May in dropping the name of Prof.
James NJ. Gregory from the list of instruc
tors. DIR. Rankin presided at the meeting,
which was called at the request of seven
members of the board. Prof. Gregory's
dismissal was the outcome of long-stand
ing trouble at the university and was said
at the time to have been brought about by
charges made against him. TO the effect
that he had made practice of borrowing
money from students and others under
him. Several years ago, when he was a
member of the board of school trustees. he
was accused of borrowing money from the
persons for whom he had secured appoint
ments as teachers. A. COMMITTEES, composed
of B. K. Bruce. q. Richards and the late
Frederick Douglass. examined into the af-
fair and recommended that Prof. Gregory
be not retained On the board any longer
than the interests of the schools and How
ard Unive1s ity demanded After that he
made an arrangement by which he was to
pay off these debts and nothing more was
done about it. The charges against Prof.
Gregory had since been renewed, and last
May, when il was decided to reduce the
size of the faculty, these furnished the
ground for holding that he might as well
be the first one to go. Prof. Gregory made
strenuous efforts during the summer to
have this action reversed, and says now
that he has not given up all hope. He COM
plains that at the meeting yesterday he
was lot given an opportunity to vindicate
himself, but feels encouraged by the fact
that the majority of those who voted for
him are colored men and regarded as rep
resentative of the race in this community.

FEDERATION OF LABOR,
Many Matters Considered Mt the Meet
Ing Last Night.

The usual weekly meeting of the Fedora
ton Of Labor was held last night at their
hall, corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and
Az street orthwest, President James F.
McHugh in the chair. Nearly forty organ
| izations were represented.
The report from the labor bureau showed
that the usefulness of the institution is
constantly widening, and that many per-
sons are daily securing work by having
their names registered there. Mr.. Shank
the manager, stated that the expenses of
the bureau are about $125 per month, and
re requested that an assessment of five
cents per month be made on each member
of the societies of organized labor in the
District in order to meet the amount
needed. No action was taken this, but
the Federation made an appropriation of
s. toward the support of the institution
and voted to send a delegate to be repre-
scented in the board of management, and
also gave the latter permission to send a
delegate to the Federation.
The committee appointed to investigate
an alleged violation of the eiGht-hour law
in the construction of the public school
house at Brookland reported that they had
carefully examined into the matter but so
far as they We're able to ascertain the law
was being compiled with.
The Musical Association reported that
they had Endorsed the Anacostia boycott
| and made an appropriation in aid of the
lccked-out men.
A communication was received from the
Hold Carriers Association stating that they
desire admission to the Federation, and
asking information as to how to proceed to
| the election of delegates thereto. The sec
rotary was directed to impart the necessary
information.
The BARRIERS reported that they are hay-
iEg the official cards distributed through
out the city, and that those shops which do
not display the card in their windows can
| be regarded as not belonging to the union.
Delegates from the MaChiniStS' ASSocia-
ton were admitted and obligated.
An appropriation for the support of the
| labor bureau was reported by the delegates
from the Theatrical Alliance.

Drink.

inc SWltn bFOtherh TOOK 100 10
Drink.
Lloyd ]. Smith, one of the victims of the
Ford's Theater disaster, and his brother.
Clark T. c. Smith, came on here from
Philadelphia early yesterday to appear be-
fore the commission engaged in taking tes-
timony, and while here, with nothing to
do, they visited a liquor store and got in a
good supply of intoxicants. They then
made their way toward the Capitol but
Lloyd got in the wrong building. Instead Of
getting in the Capitol he entered Mrs. Gal
laghers house on LIST street northeast
where he thought he would take a much
needed rest, but being put out Of there he
found his way to Mr.. E. ]. Adams stable.
and there made an attempt to get possess
sion of a valuable horse. The colored boy
in charge of the stable demonstrated with
him, but to no purpose, for instead of re-
leasing the animal he pursued the boy, and
finally Policeman Hayes arrested him. At
the police station the man did not stagger,
but the liquor seemed to have the effect OF
robbing him of his reason.
Soon after he was arrested his brother,
Clark, appeared at the police station to in
auire about him, and as he was SO much
under the influence of liquor he became
noisy and profane and was locked up. 1t
was evident from the evidence in court this
morning that the man did not know what
he was doing when he attempted to take
the horse. and for his drunken freak Judge
Miller would not hold him. The charge Of
stealing the horse dismissed. His
brother, however, was fined $40 for dis
orderly conduct.

objection of Mr. Wilson. Judge Bradley sus-
tanned the objection, remarking that 1t was
but another way of getting matters before
the jury which the court had declared to
be improper.
Mr.. Perry remarked that he was sorry
that the court imputed to him wrong mo-
tive. ard offered 10 submit his offers In
private, when Judge Bradley explained that
he imputed nothing wrong or improper to
him. Then Mr.. Perry was allowed to state
that he offered to prove that Reddlng plac-
ed a lot for sale with the firm of which Mr.
Olmstead was a member, at Is cents foot;
that the witness, conducting all the corre-
spondence, advised him to accept cents:
that it was finally learned by Redding that
it was sold by the firm for Is cents, ana
that when Redding complained, the hrm
paid him the difference and counsel fees
Judge Bradley overruled the offer, ana
also overruled Mr.. Perry's offer to snow
that Mr.. Olmstead's nomination as DISTRICT
Commissioner several years ago was with
drawn because of his alleged fraudulent
transactions above referred to.
The cross-eXamination of Mr.. Olmstead
was then suspended that Col. JOS. G. Nc
kibben might take the witness stand. Col
McKibben testified that he knew Mr.. and
Mrs Olmstead very well. particularly Mr.
Olmstead. The latter, he said. was an alb
rCpt, positive man, and his kindly, defer,
entail trea tment Of his wife was so marked
that he was surprised that the man SO
completely changed his disposition in hls
treatment of his wife
Mr.. Olmstead then resumed the stand.
and, after a discussion of the advice given
by him to Mrs. Hutchinson respecting an
inventory or schedule of the estate of her
husband, Mr.. Perry asked the direct ques-
ton if he had not endeavored to nave he1
conclude herself as to the sum of $4,000 in
bank by putting it in the inventory. Mr.
Olmstead replied that he did not He ad-
mitted that he later told Mrs. Hutchinson
that the sum was not hers. but belonged TO

Turkey, who are being prosecuted, and to
express confidence in the intention of the
American government to protect the lives
Of American missionaries in that country.

luton, but 1t is certainly inconsistent for
this conference to extend sympathy to the

with less sense of justice and on lower
plane of morality than the Turks"
