WASHINGTON NAVY YARD
Charges Against Foreman yelling Brought
by Discharged Employee
Allegations That Appointments and
Removals Are Made for Polite
icnl Effect.

Mr.. Charles Gross of this city has filed
charges at the Navy Department against
Truman yelling. foreman at the WASH
ington navy yard, and asked that they be
thoroughly ventilated. Gross was employ
ed at the yard as laborer from February
25, 1893 until the 18th instant, when he
was discharged, along with two other men,
He claims that he and the others were I'M
properly discharged, and that incompetent
and worthless men have been retained, con-
trary to the rules made by the Secretary OF
the Navy for the regulation of labor at the
navy yards He also alleges that appoint
ments and removals are made for political
effect, and that Foreman yelling has al
lowed several of the men under him to work
when they were drunk and unfit to do
In closing his petition Gross asks that
the Secretary cause thorough investiga-
ton of the charges and take such action as
the facts and circumstances may warrant.
Secretary Herbert has gone to New York,
and action in the matter will be deferred
until he returns. He is expected back
Friday. 1t is said at the Navy Department
that Foreman Gross can scarcely be held
responsible for these discharges, inaSmuch
as under the regulations he has no juris
dction whatever in such a matter.
The regulations governing discharges at
the navy yard are as follows:
when discharges are necessary from
want of work they shall be made on navy
yard orders, form I. by the head of the
department subject to the approval of the
commandant, and those whose services are
of the least value shall be first dispensed
with.
1.-The head OF each department shall be
personally responsible for the performance
of the duties enjoined upon him by the
preceding paragraph, and it shall be his
duty to familiarize himself from time to
time, so far as may he, with the quality
of the services rendered by each workman
III order that he may himself decide upon
DISCHARGES"

Attacked the Laundry,

Roy White, a colored boy. and two colored
companions declared war against China
yesterday, and about o'clock in the even
ing they made an attack on the laundry of
Lii Hing at 2156 X street. LII and his part
ner, Hing Lee, were ironing clothes at the
time, and because of the severe heat the
front door was left open. Stones We're used
in the bombardment of the laundry, and
one of the missiles landed against Ii Kings
forehead and inflicted an ugly wound. But
the Cinnamon did not retreat. Instead of
doing so they rushed into the street and
captured the enemy. Then the distress
whistle was blown, and Policeman Cooney,
who responded found the two Cinnamon
and their prisoner in the laundry.
Ii !-"'ng's face was covered with blood
and tn, wound was such painful one that
he was sent to the Emergency Hospital.
There several stitches were put in the
wound and the celestial returned home
while the colored boy was sent to the police
station.
This Is taking war into China" re-
marked Judge Miller when he heard the
case this morning, and the boy was fined
$40 or sixty days.

HOUSE READING CLERKS
Two Good Selections After an Interesting
Competitive Trial.
Col. LampsOn and r. 8. Hatcher the
Successful Men-SOmething
About Them.

In all the distribution of patronage in the
House there are but two places which go
by competitive examination. These are the
positions Of reading clerks of the House,
where fitness must control the selection. 1t
Is not a general competition, since politics
is considered in the matter, but those mem
bers to whose lot it falls to control these
appointments, must furnish candidates
who can stand the test. This is the case
no matter which party is in power, and
even after long trial it is often difficult to
find man who can read satisfactorily.
Tho House is bad place to read in. Some
fine elocutionsts fail utterly when they en-
ter the contest. In the last Congress they
got two good readers, though it has been
long since they had one like Neil Brown,
who read in the early democratic Congress-
es. During the first week of this Congress
the competition was in progress, and some
ludicrous failures were made by some OF
the most confident and hopeful candidates
Two Good Selections.
The contest has resulted in the selection
of two really good readers-Col E. l..
I.ampson of Ohio and Robert Stockweil
Hatcher of Indiana. Next to the Speaker
! they will be the most conspicuous indi-
vduals in the next House, because they
will stand at the desk during every session
and address the House more than any
member. Few will pay any attention to
what they say, but they must make them
selves heard. even to those engaged in con-
versation topics remote from the sub
ject matter of the reading.
Col. LnmpsOn.
Col. Lampson is an ex-!ieutcnant gov
ernor of Ohio, and for time speaker of
the Ohio house of representatives, and
member of the state senate and president
pro tenn. of that body.
He has been a conspicuous figure in Ohio
politics for some years past. He is a
graduate of the University of Michigan,
ard trained in both the professions of law
and journalism. After holding many local
offices. Mr.. Lampson was elected 10 the
| lower house of the legislature from Ashta-
lula county, in 1881 Reelected to the
legislature, he was elevated to the speaker
ship. In 1889 he entered the field as can
djdate for the governorship, but that place
| on the ticket went to Joseph B. Foraker.
Mr.. LampSon in 1891 secured the nominal
ton for the state senate, after exciting
contest, his opponent being James r. Gar
field, the second son of the late President.

ANACOSTIA'S LICENSE.
Stern Fight Between Saloon and Anti
Saloon Forces.

Saloon FORCES.
VIII Anacostia be prohibition village
another year? That is the grave question
that Is occupying the attention of the cit
Zens of that section just at present, and
the excise board is scratching its triple
head over the difficult problem.
Already the application of one promising
bar room keeper has been rejected, and
the imbibers of the cup that cheers who
live in Anacostia are watching with more
than ordinary interest the outcome of the
application of Messrs. Leonard & Beall,
who seek to establish tavern at 40 Har-
license is beset with difficulties, and the
obstacles which they have already encoun-
tered are diScouraging.
The temperance element is alive to the
situation, and has already made several
strategic moves that threaten the license.
Protests have been filed against the is
Suance of the license covering every con-
ceivable point. Nothing daunted the appli-
cants today filed with the excise board Il
long petition, answering one by one the
protests that had been filed against them.
In the first place, to the charge that the
saloon was to be conducted by a syndicate
they enter a strong denial, adding that,
while several persons are interested in
the new building where they propose to
locate, only the applicants have any In
terest in the business. They say in reply
to the statement that the Central Union
Mission is located within four hundred feet
of the proposed saloon that the lease
which it holds is tishy, not only because
the quarters were engaged after it was the
evident purpose of the applicants to apply
for license, but. further, because only $36
a year is to be the price paid for the hall.
which is manifestly too small a rent for
property which cost 5000, and which
brings in a rent of 5000 year. They be-
lieve 1t is the work of the opposition to de-
feat the license. In addition, they call at
tention to the fact that they have the
necessary signatures to the application,
and have not only complied with the law
and regulations in every respect, but have
erected a handsome building for the pur-
pose of keeping a saloon, which they as
sure the excise board will be strictly first
class.

At Towson, Md. on the 9th instant,
man, whose name was given as Walker
residing in Baltimore, was sentenced to
both fine and imprisonment for counter
feiting Rumford yeast powder. His plan
was to refill the old Rumford bottles with
a spurious compound and then to sell the
goods to retail grocers as the genuine Rum
ford. This Is the second scamp appre-
hended recently, so 1t would seem that the
Rumford chemical works and their agents
are fully awake to any attempt to counter
felt their preparations, which have an
enviable reputation Of half century.
