ford" Must Serve His Term.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept 3.-Gov. Atkinson has
refused to pardon sydney I.ascelles,
commonly known as Lord Beresford.

posed the application for a pardon, fearing
that Lascelles would bring about recon
citation if he were released. A year ago
Lascelles escaped from the penitentiary
camp, where he is employed as lumber
checker.
When found he was in q resort Of ques-
tionable repute in Americus. His conduct

MAKING A POLICE MARTYR
Greer to Be Tried for Alleged News
giving in the Hall Case.
Effort TO Muzzle Officers So That G ood
Cases Not Prosecuted Can BE Kept
From the Press.

Policeman George w. McGreer, of the
South Washington precinct, will be tried
to-day by the police trial board on the
charge of violating section 40, page 23, Of
the manual, by giving out information TO
the press concerning the Frank Hall liquor
case. The charges were preferred against
Policeman Greer by Lieut.. Vernon, his com
manding officer, and the trial will be in
secret. Section 40, which Greer is charged
with violating, reads:
mo member shall communicate infor-
nation which may enable persons to escape
from arrest or punishment, or enable them
TO dispose of or secrete any goods, or other
valuable things, stolen or embezzled;nor, ex-
cept by permission Of the ma jor and superin-
tendent, or captain, communicate any infor-
nation respecting orders be may have re-
ceived, or about his contemplated move
ments, or the limits OF his post.
Seeking notoriety through the public
press by name is forbldden;and the frequent
mention of particular names may be
made a subject of Investigation 10y the trial
committee"
Old policemen, who have done duty here
many years, III discussing the matter last
night declared that Patrolman Greer had not'
! violated Section 10 or any other part OF the
| manual Admitting, they added, that he
! had given the information to The Iimrs
| as charged, it was after the Hall case had
/ passed from the hands of the police ana was
| in possession OF Assistant DitriCt Attorney
! Pugh, and had become a legitimate item
! of Dews.
Policeman Greer, it is understood, de
MES that he gave the Information to The
Times or any other newspaper, and 1T ap-
| pears that the prosecution cannot prove
o the contrary. Many leading citizens or
South Washington are deeply Interested
in the outcome OF the matter. They say to
convict Greer would be an Outrage, as he
had only done hisdutyand twas privilege
as an American citizen TO give out the
information. il he did so, as it could not
Dossibly impede the course Of justice, but
Oh the contrary it illustrated how justice
had been mpeded in another quarter by
the failure TO prosecute Han after a good
cAe of Sunday selling had been secured
against him ana nine witnesses for the
government summoned.
The persecution of Greer in this matter,
said a veteran policeman last night, has
several interesting sides. For one II ap'
pears as a higl-handed effort to muzzle
the press by publishing policemen who give
out legitimate news. Let Greer be fined
dismissed, or even reprimauded and you
viii find that officers viii be afraid in the
future TO talk about matters which properly
belong to their employers, the taX-paying
public
II is understood that all The witnesses
in the Hall case have been examined pri
vately by members of the excise board
and representatives Of the AntI-SalooI
League A member Of the latter organiza
tion stated last night that Greer would b'
backed by all the good citizens OF Wash
iugton. and that his perFecutors would fine
that the end is rot yet"

The company has a wage card, which
applies to all OF its nine mills, and the
rates are lower than those demanded by

To-day the company tried te get forty
men imported from Pennsylvania into the

STANDARD OIL CO.'S LETTER
President Rockefeller Writes the Dis
trict Officials, Denying That They
Charge an Exorbitant Price for
Material or Refuse to Make Long
Term Contract-A Times Cartoon.

The Standard Oil Company resents the
imputation OF mouopolisuc practices put
upon it by the reports made OF the recent
conference between the Commissioners and
representatives OF the Washington GaSLight
Company.
The president of the Standard Company,
Mr. william Rockefeller, has had the mat
ter under consideration, and as result ad-
dressed a letter from his New York office
TO the acting president of the Gas Light
Company, Mr.. Charles B. Bailey, which
yesterday found its way to the press through
the office Of the District Commissioners.
In his letter Mr.. Rockefeller says his at
tention has been called to an article in the
Evening Star of August 21, under the
heading of .Oue Dollar Gas" and to car
toon in The Washington Morning Times OF
August %, entitled, According to gas
allegations, the people OF Washington are
feeding at least two mOnOpoles.
MR.. ROCKEFELLER LETTER.
Referring to what was said Of the
Standard Oil Company, its president says:
1--WE desire to meet the statements in
the above mentioned newspapers with
| salient facts al they relate to the STANDARD
| Oil Company transactions with the Wash
! fugton Gaslight Company. We have not
| nor are we now, charging an cXorhitant
prIce for the material we furnish to the
| Washington Gaslight Company, which ma
terial is the most important item in the
| cost OF carbureted water gas as manufac-
tured in washington.
I'VE have supplied the GaSlight Company
since o ctober 10, 1891. Its stated that we
e-.r To-, at.yN.a-
riod than twelve months. Permit us TO say
that our contract extended over PERIOD
of twcnty-four months. The third contract
now in force runs from January l, 1885 to
July l, 1886, eighteen months
ITO tn. statement that the gas company
has been compelled to erect two large tanks
for the reason that the Standard Oh Com
panv decided to ship by water instead OF
by rail- we wouldd state that the change
was sugrested because we believed 1T to be
greatly to the benefit OF your company 10
receive its supply by water, and thus
avoid the necessity OF pumping the ma
teriaI through a pipe lire under the streets
of your city for number of miles to the
place of consumption"
NOT GREAT ADVANCE.
The president also asserts that the aver
ace annual increase in the cost of the mate
rial furnished the Gaslight Company ha'
been about 93 per cent, which is not IL
keeping with the relative advance in The
price of crude oil during the same period
The facts are given, he said, withou
prejudice OF favor TO the subject unde
consideration by the Commissioners, tc
: whom a copy OF the communication is sent
Since the, statements quoted by the
papers were made by the Washington
Gasiight Company's representative, in
his argument against cheaper gas, the
declaration in contradiction OF their ac
curacy possesses an added interest ant
significance at this juncture.
