THE PAPERS DISAPPEARED
Another Chapter in the Legal Oomplioa-
lions of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos G. Hoover.
Judge Cox PostpOnes the Hearing OF
the Case to Permit a Search for
the Missing Documents.

The application of Mrs. Mary L. Hoover
for an injunction restraining her husband.
Them mas G. Hoover. from visiting her resi-
dence. 1723 9Th street, and from in any
way interfering with or molesting her dur
ing the tendency of the suit for divorce
filed by her the 9th of last June, came up
for final hearing before Judge Cox this
morning.
A temporary restraining order was grant
ed Mrs. Hoover by Judge Cole last month,
but when tine case was called up today
several important papers were reported
missing from the files by Messrs. ]. Med.
and Campbell Darlington, counsel for the
defendant. The missing papers were the
answer of Mr.. Hoover to his wife's appli-
cation. similar application of his and ten
affidavfts in support thereof They were
last seen last Saturday, when Mr.. W. P.
Williamson, counsel for Mrs. Hoover, re-
quested the clerk to make copies of them
for him.
When Judge Cox's attention was called 20
the matter today he directed that the case
go over until tomorrow morning, a search
meantime to be made for the papers.
Each party of the suit, it is understood,
claims to be the owner of the house in
question: and each is DESTROYS of an order

B. AND o. GRADE CROSSINGS.

The Commissioners Are Asked How
Long Their Dangers Are TO Threaten
Why are the dangerous grade crossings
along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad left unprotected? That is the
question the president of the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association wants
answered The people in his section of the
city are much interested in this subject,
and i'll a letter to the Commissioners today
he urges that the matter be considered as
soon as possible and the railroad made to
comply with the law
Some time ago. it will be recalled, a reso-
luton was passed at a meeting of the as
ISOLATION calling for this information. The
Commissioners were furnished with copy
OF the resolution and they sent copies of it
to Lieuts. Kelly and Heffner, in whose pre-
cincts the alleged violations of law were
being committed. Their replies were duly
received. President Tucker, however, takes
issue with Lieut. Kelly in his report and
calls attention to the crossings at Massa-
chusetts avenue. street and street,
which, he says, are left unprotected at
night after D., o'clock. There are other
crossings not protected at night, he says,
in support of his statement that he has
personally inspected them himself.

CITY LIFE IMPROVING.

President ktnEsbury Addresses the
Social Science Association.
The opening session Of the annual meet
ing of the American Social Science Associ-
alton was held at Saratoga last evening.
F. J. Kfngsbury. LII. D., of Waterbury.
Conn. president of the association, deliv-
cred his annual address on 1.-The Tendency
of Men to Live in Cities" In the course of
his address President Kingsbury said that
recent writer has said: 1.-THE great fact
in the social development of the white race
at the close of the nineteenth century Is
the, tendency all over the world to congre-
gate in great cities" Doubtless this Is
TRUE, but it is not a new Ct even a modern
tendency. For when the earliest dawn of
authentic history sheds its pale light on
the darkness which lies beyond It shows us
cities as large as magnificent, as luxuri-
Gus. as wicked. and. apparently. as old as
any that the world has since known. Baby
Ion. Ninevah. Memphis. Thebes, Damascus,
were cited by the speaker as examples.
The summing up was:
1. For economic reasons large part of
the work of the world must be done in
cities. ~
2. Almost all the good things Of life are
easiest Of attainment there.
3. Change from city to country a portion
Of the year Is desirable and attainable.
4. The city is growing a better place to
live in year by year.
5. Efforts to relieve the congested condi-
ton by deportation OF homeless children,
etc, arc good but only touch the surface,
and city degeneration must mainly be
fought on Its own ground and on economic
and not sentimental lines.
g. Just now the country life needs atten-
ton as much as the city. The whole prob
but progress has been made and the future
Is full of promise.

CHARGED WITH SERIOUS oFFExsEs

A Wor an Insulter FOrfeits Collateral
"A Clerk Demo nds n Jury Trial.
There were two cases of alleged techni-
cal assault called in the Police Court this
morning, and one of the defendants for
feited $50 collateral while in the other case
a jury trial was demanded. In the first
case a tall. elderly man, with white beard.
and much better looking than the average
man, was arrested yesterday about noon
charged with insulting Mrs. Mary Whit
ney. He gave his name as Thomas L.
Johnson. and his occupation as that OF
a farmer. The police think he gave a fic-
titous name, and believe he Is not a
farmer.
1t appears that Mrs. Whitney. who lives
at 52S 10th street southeast. was on Penn
sylvania avenue with her husband viewing
the procession. when. as Is charged. this
man approached. took hold Of her arm and
asked her to take walk. At that time
her husband was standing few feet away.
and when he learned Of what had happen
ed he was ready to take the law in his
own hands, and the old man would prob
ably have Jared badly had not Policeman
Williams appeared on the scene and ar
rested him.
The police of the first precinct accepted
$50 collateral in the case, and this was for
fe.ted because of the good-looking old man s
failure to appear.
In the other case young man named
William ]. Yates. clerk in a furniture
store, was the defendant. while Rosie
Slaughter. a young coiored woman was the
prosecuting witness. She went to the store
where Yates was at work, and he went to
one of the upper floors to show her some
furniture. While there, the young woman
charges he took hold of her and made an
indecent proposal to her. Complaint was
made to the proprietor. and Policeman
Bloom arrested the young man. who denies
the charge. A jury trial was demanded by
Mr.. c. NJ. Smith, counsel for the defendant.
and the case went over.

SEEKING A SWINDLER
Policemen on the Lookout for Shrewd
Oolored Rascal
He Makes Old People I'm the Country
His Victims by Playing on Their
SusceptibilIties.

A telephone message was sent to the sew
eraI police stations this morning directing
the officers to look out for and arrest a
young colored man who Is wanted for
swindlng. This young man went over In
Prince Georges county few days ago and
succeeded in robbing a countryman OF sl''
and yesterday he robbed an unsuspecting
old coIcred man named Charles Hall, who
lives on the Bowen road. Hillsdale. His first
effort was made some days ago. when he
went to the house of a colored woman ne
ycnd Anacostia and impaired to her the
sad information that her son, who had en-
listed in the army, had died.
His body" said the shrewd young man.

The poor old woman, who was heart
broken because of the sad news she mad
been told, hurried to the house Of a neigh
bor ard got together the money. The
fastest horse on the farm was hitched to
the Iightest vehicle, end the young man
was sent over with friend OF the soidier
mother, who was intrusted with the $lf
When the freight office was reached the
swindler took the money to pay the BILL
as he said, but as there are several doors
to the Office, he made his exit, and. or
course. took the money with him. Ihere
was no dead body at the office and the
supposed dead soldier is still carrying his
musket.
Yesterday when the swindler, evidently
the same one, appeared at Charles Hairs
house, he was very happy. because, he
said, relative had died and had left him
$500
But" said the young swindler to the old
man, I've got to raise s. in order to pay
expenses and get the money"
Old man Hall thought such a little thing
should not stand in his way, and SO he
borrow ed the money from neighbors and
let the young man have it. This morning
he was to meet him at LIST and b streets
and get the money with little interest.
The old man came to town and brought his
sister and child with him, but he soon
found that he was the victim of swindler,
and reported the case to the detectives.

ROYAL GIFTS.
Sold by Recipients without Dencacy
or Restraint.

Sold by Recipients without DeIfcacy
or Restraint.
From the Chicago Record
1t must be rather distressing to royalty
to see the small value set upon the gifts
which 1t Is the habit of distributing among
its friends and followers. These gifts are
cor stantly being converted into cash in a
most public and open Mariner. without the
slightest delicacy or restraint.
Thus, at great public auction held at
London, there was a valuable gold-mounted
ard jeweied cane. which belonged to the
late Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, and had
been presented to him by the Prince of
Wales as token of friendship and regard.
1t was but the other day that a number of
very charming etchings made by the queen
and the late prince consort forty-fve years
ago we're put up at auction at Dublin.
They had been presented by her majesty
and her husband to one Of her former
ladies' in waiting, on whose death they had
been offered for sale by the heirs.
The shop windows of one of the great
pawnbrokers at Berlin were filled some
months ago with an entire collection OF
valuable watches, snuffboxes, adorned with
gems, articles of jewelry, etc, all pre-
scented by various sovereigns and royal
Iersonages to the late Count Visone. min
ister of the household of the king of Italy.
and pledged without being redeemed by his
scapegrace son, who. until the other day,
was a secretary of the Italian embassy at
Berlin.
Thus 1t happens that one finds pins. rings,
snuffboXes and even autograph portraits in
the possession of people for whom they
were certainly never intended and who
make improper use of them for the pur-
pose of obtaining social prestige.
Perhaps the grossest case OF all, however,
was that of Baron Won Radowitz. now Ger
man ambassador at Madrid, who. on the
conclusion of his mission at Constantinople.
where he had represented Germany diplo-
matically for a number of years and en-
toyed the particular friendship of the sui
tan. who was never tired of loading him
with valuable gifts. deliberately put up at
public auction in Constantinople Itself, I'M
der the very eyes of the sultan. all the
presents which he had received from his
Ottoman majesty.
