SULLIVAN WAS PUT OUT.
The Way an Athletic Barkeeper
Greeted a Customer.

Raedy'S saloon, corner OF North Capitol
and G streets northeast. was the scene of
a lively fight last evening. When Mike
Sullivan appeared in Judge Miller's court
this morning his appearance was that of
man who had figured in a grade crossing
accident. John She2han, the Young man
who dispenses intoXicants for Mr.. Raedy,
and had inflicted the painful and ugly
wounds, was summoned as q witness.
Sullivan'S face was in a frightful condi-
ton when he appeared in court this morn
ing, ard his plea to the charge OF assault
was not guilty
Sullivan said he had been drinking in the
saloon ell during the day, and last evening
when the trouble happened he was drunk
While seated on bench, where the patrons
of one of the bars rest themselves, he got
in conversation with friend, and Shea nan,
the bartender, concluded that he was going
to put them out to prevent trouble. And
he went about the task in the manner of
pugiliSt, dealing the young man a terrific
blow IL the eye. This felled Sullivan. who
much under the influence of liquor,
and while on the floor Sheahan pounded him
and then dragged him out.
Sullivan returned 70 the saloon with
stone and proceeded to get even with Shea
han. but got another pounding.
Judge Miller listened TO explanations on
both sides, ani told the bartender that
while he had right to prevent noise in his
place and eject disorderiy persons, he had
to do il in the proper way.
The young man with the terribly bruised
face was thereupon released, and ne went
home to dress the painful wounds and
bruises.

P LICE RE POR T
What Our Finest Have Been Doing This
Year
The Labor of Keeping the Peace,
Helping the Poor and Looking
After the DOwntrOdden.

The second part of Maj. Moore's annual
report, which includes the subreports Of
the property clerk, police surgeons, har-
Dor master, agent of the Humane Society,
hack inspector and sanitary officer, was
made public today. The financial transac-
tons of the clerks office aggregated $685.
21.20. The clerk says in his letter that
while the dispensing of relief to the unfor-
tunatts through the periious months OF
winter has been a cause in which the po-
lice have gladly entered it seems that the
business should be shared by the superin-
tendent of charities, whose office might
liquidate all accounts rendered against
funds furnished by the relief committee in
aid of the suffering poor.
The total arrests during the year made
by the police force was 3,104. OF this
number II, 1873 were colored and 1921 white.
The agent for the humane society reports
that 3D. cases were investigated by MN
during the year and 15S children were plac-
ed in the care of charitable or reformatory
institutions or agencies. all except one IN
the District of Columbia. or this NUMBER
l27 are white and thirty-one colored- he
calls attention to the great Importance OF
legislation for compelling the support OF
legitimate and illegitimate children by pa
rents, and says that the commitments TO
the reformatory should be authorized LOT
definite terms and not less than one year.
Inc report OF tne lhSpettoi VI ioSn
shows that 547 vehicles are licensed In the
District There were few violations Tor
overcliarge He suggests that whenever
the streets are repaired under the five
year contract the hackmen are frequently
required to stand in places without shade
He thinks ii is well enough to keep all
vehicles from the asphalt until it sets, but
Ices not think that they should be Kept
in the sun for weeks at time.
The report of the sanitary officer shows
that during the past year the whole num-
Der of persons furnished with transporta-
ton was S6I, at an expenditure of S1,1I655.
Attention is called to the increase of the
number of persons sent to the hospitals
of the District, the record for the year
being 3,J5S. an increase of 4S3 over the
previous year.
He renews his former recommendation
looking to the establishment Of an asylum

District Republican Leaders Said to

District Republican Leaders Said to
Have Combined.
Sidewalk meetings on the pavements in
the vicinity of the District building and the
Police Court, as we'll as about the City
Hall, are more numerous than ever. and a
surprise was called among the alleged wire
pullers today when it was announced that
Perry Carson and Andrew Gleeson had
buried the hatchet and would pull together
for the convention.
A Star reporter met Perry Carson on the
street this afternoon and told him of the
report in circulation.
There has never been any trouble be-
tween u.s." he said, referring to Gleason
and himself But" he added, Il hope
nothing will appear in the papers just yet
concerning what has been rumored. / will
say this, that when the republican national
committee meets here and settles the ques-
ton of electing delegates, Gleason and my
self will be all right"
1t is generally understood that Carson
favors the election of delegates by mass
meetings, while many other candidates
favor the holding of primaries.
Editor Chase of the Bee is a strong ad-
vocate of the plan to elect by primaries,
for the reason that it will bring out a
heavy vote and an expression of the pco-
pies desires will then be known. The hold
ing of mass meetings. he says, brings out
orly a small representation of the local
republicans. Editor Chase has had very
little to say about the convention thus far,
but he is a cal. didate, and later on expects
to make a good showing in the race.

Annual Meeting Of the Base Ball
League. =. !.
WARD OBJECTS TO BEING RESERVED
Alleged Combination Of Four Clubs
y..c. Formed.
SEVERAL DELEGATES DENY IT

NEW YORK, November 13.-The annual
convention of National Base Ball League
magnates today attracted large contingent
of base ball managers and players to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. .....-,..
The presidents of the twelve clubs which
constitute the league are all in the city and
IL ruInors can be relied upon even to
small degree, this convention will be a very
lively one.
Several matters of moment will be dis
cussed, among them being the Sunday ball
playing and double umpire system. Then
Chris Won der Abe will have to face the
music" for having built a race track on his
grounds at st. Louis.
A combination is said to have been formed
by the New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Pittsburg clubs to stand together on all is
sues, and particularly to object to Sunday
playing.
Among the first to reach the hotel were
President Freedman of the New York club
and Arthur Irwin, who has just assumed his
new managerial duties for the Gothamtes
The other representatives OF the clubs
who arrived later were: a. H. Soden, Boston;
John l.. Brush Cincinnati; Chris Won Der
Abe. ST. Louis; Frank De H. Robson, Cleve-
land; James A. Hart, Chicago; Wagner
brothers, Washington; w. w. Kerr, Pitts
burg: A. ]. Reach and John 1. Rogers, Phila-
delphia; H. X. Vonderhorst, Baltimore, and
Dave FoutZ, Brooklyn.
The board of directors went into executive
session at II o'clock.
A. j. Reach president of the Philadelphia
club. when seen this morning by represent
tative of the Associated Press regarding the
rumored combination for the purpose of
controlling the affairs OF the league, said:
1.-The reports in this mornings papers con-
stituted the first informa ton l received that
such a combination existed. There is abso-
lutely no truth in the statement, far as
Philadelphia Is concerned
When asked If he thought a combination
OF four clubs would be successful in over
riding the other eight, he smiled and replied.
I'm afraid not"
Messrs. James A. Hart of Chicago and
Vonderhorst of Baltimore said that there
was no truth in the reported combination OF
eastern clubs.
Ex-Captain John NJ. Ward sent commu-
nication to the board of directors asking
that his name be removed from the reserve
Est of the New York base ball club He
based his claim on the ground that. accord
ing to the rules, n contract should have
been proffered to him at the close of the
season of 1894. AS this was not done. Ward
claims that he is released. Furthermore
he insists that the keeping of his name on
the list hurts his standing as a. lawyer as
It gives the impression that he has not per-
n,anently retired from base ball.

Here is another suggestion
for the business man who advcr-
tises or ought to advertise.
Advertising space is valuable
in proportion to the extent and
character Of circulation OF the
advertising medium.
The Stars advertising rate
for a given space for three
months or more is less than s
cents per line, without changes;
for ten thousand lines to be
used within a year, changes at
will, the rate is u cents per line.
The Stars circulation is be-
lieved to be five times that of
any afternoon paper in Wash
ington-no other afternoon pa
per makes public its circulation.
On this basis it is therefore easy
to calculate that fair rate for
space in other afternoon papers
would be one cent a line where
The Star charges five and u
cents line as against The Stars
charge OF y cents.

NEW YORK. November 13.-After per-
iod of pronounced hesitation around the
opening level, to1ay's stock market became
strong and active under forced covert ls
movement, in which the local trading ele-
ment predominated. London contributed
literally to the advance by buying bacl at
substantial advances the several issues sold
last week in anticipation of more serious
diplomatic disturbances than are at present
apparent.
The several more conspicuous room oper-
ators who have been rather free sellers in
all parts of the active list turned in their
position this morning. and became aggres-
sively active in forcing out a nervous shor,
interest.
In Sugar, the most popular of the bear
cards. the daily increases in an already
large and undesirable initiative interest
prompted an advance of such proportions
as would give the large inside interests a
more complete control of the campaign now
in progress. The arguments originally used
to depress the price of this property are
still operative, and. without regard for
temporary fluctuations will eventually pre-
vail against all opposition.
The industrial department at other points
Of activity was irregular, American Tobacco
and Tennessee Coal and Iron advancing

cago Gas reacted easily under free Offer
ings of both long and short stock.
The railroad list was more active than
usual, the demand, except such as came
from the representatives of foreign houses.
being largely professional The Changers
were active at fractional gains, Burlington
responding more promptly than its neigh
hors in spite of disposition in some quar-
tiers to rid:cule the prospects of an enor-
nous winters business.
The publication of Manhattan's statement
for the year ending September 80 reflected
deficit after charges and dividends of
1891, 1SS. against a surplus of S2i0.1S0 for
the same period one year ago.
This showing was not unexpected, as the
surface roads have been constantly submit

must have come from the former patrons Of

The market for foreign exchange con-
tinues easy around yesterdays level. but the

TO TRY COMPRESSED AFT
Experiment With New Motor on the Eek
ington Line.
A Car to De Run on the North Capitol
Street Brnnch-Transfers on
the Belt Line.

An experiment is to be made in this city
with compressed air as a street railroad
motive power. Mr.. Newbold, the president
Of the Belt and lexington street railroads
has had his attention called to this method
of street car propulsion, and after looking
into the matter to some extent has con-
cluded to have the system tested on his
roads here. 1t Is expected that car pro-
PEELED by this motor will be placed on the
North Capitol street branch of the Eek
ington road, and if in its practical opera
ton it demonstrates what Is claimed for it.
the lexington line and probably the other
lines of the system will be equipped with
the cars propelled by this method.
AS is well known, the application OF
compressed air to running street cars is by
storing the air in tanks, which are placed
on the trucks of each car. 1t Is said that q
tank. can be stored SO that there viii be
sufficient power to run a car twenty-five
miles, which is five times around the Belt
road. For the present the tanks will be
filled at the power house of the company
at lexington. 1t Is stated that under the
old management some attention was given
to compressed air as a motive power, and
Mr.. George E. Lemon, who was one of The
directors of the road, and had seen some
experiments in Europe, was so much
pleased with it that he was in favor OF
adopting the same system for the road in
this city.
10 use TRANSFERS ASn1u.
The 18th of this month, which is next Sun
day, the running of cars on the complete
Belt road will be stopped and passengers
will be transferred at 18th and f streets
and at 18th and P streets, as was done pre-
vious to the recent change. This announce
ment was made this morning to a Star re-
porter by Mr.. Gray, the manager of the
road, who said that the only motive for the
change was a financial one, and that it was
not question much of increasing the
profits of the road as of decreasing the
amount of money which the road was now
losing. Mr.. Gray said that the figures
showed that the receipts of the road were
less when the Belt road was being operated
as whole than under the former system
when there We're practically two roads
During the summer. however, he said that
the receipts of the Bell road. operated as q
whole, Were larger than under the system
which will go into effect next Sunday. For
this reason he said that the proposed change
would only be a temporary one, and thai
when the business of the road justified it the
operation of the Belt road as a whole would
he resumed Sunday next, then, the north
and south line, running from the wharves
to Boundary street, will be operated as
continuous line. with transfers at 18th and
4 and 18th and streets, and cars will be
run on the old Belt road from 18th and P to
18th and e streets.
