Woman Who Claims to Be Sweet
Pea Girl" Of Durrant Trial.
Seeking n Advertisement Which VIII
Help Her TO n Part in a Sensa-
tionaI Theatrical Venture.

San Francisco, Sept. 16.-The Sweet
Pea Girl" of the Durrant case, for the
time being occupies the center of the stage.
In fact, she has succeeded in attracting
SO much attention that it was rumored
yesterday that an enterprising theatrical
manager had already conceived the idea
of offering her an engagement.
This report was in reference TO Mrs. G. j.
Bowers, of Oakland, whose husband vir-
tuaIly admitted in an interview that his
wife was the person who has figured SO
prominently in tue case as the Sweet
Pea Girl.''
Durrant's Sunday at tue county jail
was a quiet one. He had few callers, and
spent most of tue day perusing Jan Mac
Laren's Beside the Bonnie Brar Bush"
the latest work sent him by his Sweet
Pea Girl"
Durrant expressed his firm belief that the
young lady whose attentions he has ac
septed is really Miss Rose Holland; whom
he met at an 'Endeavor Union" meeting
in Oakland long before lie was immersed
In his present difficulties. He expressed
it as his opinion that Mrs. Bowers is
achieving notority at the expense OF his
friend.

plains of herself as aching and sore and as

backache, or tender spine, with bearing

Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y, in his long and active expert
ence, met many cases of this kind, for which
he used prescription which was found to
cure such difficulties permanently in ninety
eight per cent of all cases. Having proven
so successful, DR.. Pierce put his Favorite
Prescription on the market, and it is to day
sold more largely than any other medicine
for the ills of woman.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription reaches the

The strikers on the Anacostia street

terminrG 10 test by legal procedure whether
or not President Griswold can permit his
cars 10 remain idle withoa invaIdatng

They sought the aid Of The Times bU-
reau OF legal advice yesterday, and after
a Iun presentation of the points raised
received the assurance that the matter
should be thoroughly investigated at an
early day.
NOTHING IN THE LAW
The contention made by Mr. Griswold
that th-rc is nothing in the Law TO require
the running OF the cars. and that SO long
as the people refuse 10 ride he viii de-
cline 10 resume operations, is in a fair
way to have an airing in the courts.

Clerks Are Members-Auditor Far
row Did Not. Know of It's Exts-
tenceand Viii Put Stop to 1t.

The details were related to The Times
yesterday of an organization in the United
states Treasury Department, the ostensible
purpose oI which is 10 benefit department
clerks no
The organization has it's paper printed
so as TO read the Economic Relief Associa
ton.
1t is composed Of clerks in the Treasury
Department who lend money TO members
and brethren at 3 per cent per month
or 36 per cent per year
According to the laws of the District
of Columbia this organization is an usurious
one, plain and simple.
1t is said that the members Of this 8 per
cent. per month banking scheme are men
i'll good standing in various churches and
that they are regarded as men of high repute
in the Treasury
PAY 36 PER CENT.
The clerks in the Treasury not members
are required TO get one or two good dindorsers
and still pay 36 per cent year while
they could get the same amounts lu the city
banks with good iudorsers at from g TO s
per cent, year. 1t is plain that this
Economic Relief Association can make
the difference between the legal rate, aud
their usurious rate, by simply having the
Influence or means TO get from any bank
enough money TO lend to the clerks whOneed
economic relief
The association s credited with having
out on loan from $50 900 TO $25, 600 a year
which gives the co-operators pretty fair
dividend at SO per cent.
SECRETARY SMYsER'S STATEMENT.
Mr.. w. II. Smyser, clerk in the office OF
the second auditor of the Treasury s the
secretary ana treasurer of this association.
He was called on yesterday and made
statement III reference TO the history and
transactions of the concern It was or
ganIzed under the Harrison administration
when Gen. Patterson, was second auditor
OF the Treasury. Mr.. Smyscr said that Gen.
Paterson was cognizant OF the association
and it's object and permitted it TO exist
under the agreement that ii Should not
work during office hours.
10 is a cooperative association com
posed of about 80 or 40 clerks, to whom
are issued certificates of deposit on which
they can raise money 1t also does bust
ness outside the membership and lends
money at three per cent per month. A
clerk for instance, .On endorsement, can
get say $40 for a month for 20 cents, and
Mr.. Smyser said that they usually prefer
to pay this than borrow from other sources.
BENEFITS THE CLERKS.
Mr. Smyser contends that the association
is really a benefit 10 the clerks in the
department, and be is informed that similar
associations exist in other departments
of the government. He was asked II Cot

Col. Farram was then called on and asked
if he knew OF the organization, such as de
scribcd by Mr.. Smyser. The auditor said
that he had no knowledge OF it, hIU that he
would stop it sumBlarily If s3Ieh business

said that it took very short time TO

FUTURE OF The FENCIBLES
Handsome Quarters Secured For
Their Armory at 9l3 E Street
Capt. Domer Declares There Has Been
No Lack of Battaltonizing the
Fcncibles and Rifles.

The future of the Fencibles is assured in
the very handsome quarters which they
have just secured at No 913 q street
northwest. This building has recently
been remodeIed and fitted up in the most
approved style just in time to receive the
Fencibles, whose uniforms and military
impedimenta willbesent TO the new quarters
to day
The Fencibles, by the way, are going
back into the ueighborhood Of their birth
place and that of some of the crack corps
of the city The whole block is alive
with military history aud traditions
a report has been in circulation for few
days that the FenCibles and the National
Rifles would form a battalion. The
result, in this case, involves two condi-
tions: That the Rifles shall decide from the
militia, or that the Fencihles shall coalesce
with the Rifles and accept their name, in
which case the suggestion would be posi-
bic. The Washington Light Infantry, for
instance, is composed of four companies
all under the name of the
Capt Domer said last night referring
10 the reported baUtalioniZiug of the two
companies, that the suggestion was Sim
ply i'll the air, the rumor, doubtless, he
said, being traCeable to the fraternahle
relations of the organizations. The dis
Cussion of the question was purely informal;
certainly none of the officers of the Fencibles
or National Rifles had discussed it.
Notwithstanding the fact that the propo-
stion is informal and only military gossip,
il would not surprise the public if the Fen
cibles and Rifles should march again under
the same company insignia.
