baltimore Detectives study Clues fl
This City.

THIS City.
This morning Detective Pohler came here
from Gaithersburg and saw Detectives
Horne and Weldon at police headquarters.
Later he went to the hospital to see Mr..
Buxton and hear his story of the crime.
While at police headquarters the Baltimore
ofhcer talked over the case with the de-
tectives who had worked on the mysterious
affair soon after the crime was committed.
They gave each other the benefit of what
was learned, and told Of the various clues
and theories obtained and advanced by the
people In Montgomery county. The Wash
ington officers were still of the opinion that
Neal ana Randolph are innocent, while De-
.tecuve Pohler thinks the proof against
Randolph IS sufficient to mold him.
But said the Baltimore officer to a
star reporter. q think Neal had nothing
to do with the crime
he repeated that the evidence against
Randolph is more than mere suspicion.
There Is enough to hold him, and unless
something unusual happens between now
and the time set for mis- trial he will have
to make a strong defense in order TO es
cape punishment.
This afternoon Detective Pohler called at
me the hospital and had lengthy CONVERSE
ton with Mr.. Buxton. During this con-
Versation he was told Of the circumstances
Of the horrible assault as were detailed
by Mr.. Buxton several days ago when
States Attorney Kilgour interviewed him.
several OF the interviews held with him
have been reduced to writing, and all of
them show, at least, partial identified ton
OF Randolph. After finishing the inter-
view the detective went to Baltimore, and
will return to Montgomery county tomor-
row.
The members of the Buxton family are
still Improving, with the exception of little
Sadie. She was holding her own well this
afternoon. although she was by no means
out Of danger, and there is little hone for
Fer recovery entertained.

Ohcers Disturbed Over the Delay in
the Case of Capt. Reed.

Officers Disturbed Over the DELAY in
the CHse of Capt. Reed
Naval officers are somewhat disturbed
over the poor prospects Of promotions in
view OF the unsettled state Of the case of
capt. Allen V. Reed. That officer is now
undergoing examination for promotion for
the second time. The board which first
examined him reported that he was fully
qualified for promotion, but the President
disapproved the report and ordered an
other examination The second examina-
ton has been in progress at the WASH
ington navy yard for nearly two weeks,
and it is uncertain when it will be con-
cluded. 1t is being conducted by a board
composed of Rear Admiral Walker Commo
dore NJ. Sicard and Commodore Norton
The promotions of forty other officers are
held up pending the settlement of the Reed
case. and the fear is entertained that the
Reed case will not be disposed of before
event all promotions in the navy below the
grade Of commodore will be effectualIy
blocked until Congress reassembles, in De-
cember next, unless that BODY should he
sooner called together in extra session
This state Of affairs results from the fact
that the vacancy to which Captain Reed
will be promoted, If he passes a satisfac-
tory examination, was created in February
last by the retirement of Admiral Car
penter and the promotion of Commodore
Thos. o. Selfridge.
The vacancy, having occurred while Con-
gress was in session, cannot be filed dur
ing re'ess of that body This Is in ac-
cordance with the general statutes bear
ing upon the question of federal appoint
mentS.
With Capt. Reed out of the way bv pro-
motion or otherwise, nine vacancies would
exist In the list of ensigns alone which
could be filled at once by the appointment
of naval cadets. These appointments, how
ever, like all the pending promotions, car
not be made, however. until the trouble
some ReedIcase Is settled. This will bear
particularly hard on the nine cadets, for
the reason!othat they will not be alb lie to
enter the service at all unless the Reed
matter is disposed Of before the adjourn
ment of the present Congress-

DOGS AT THE 400"
Projected Exhibition of Specimens Of
Different Breeds.


Different Breeds.
In regard TO the establishment Of kennels
IL the National Geological Park, Of which
mention was made in The Star yesterday
In an article taken from the Baltimore
Sun. DR.. Frank Baker. the superintendent
OF the park. said to a Star reporter today
that there was no such officer as veterinar-
ian at the Zoo, and that the project had
not been matured in any respect.
DR.. Cecil French, who was quoted in the
article referred to, when seen, said:
Il am not veterinarian al the Zoo and
have no power to establish a national dog
kennel There are no dogs at the park
given by the Czarina of Russia no plans
have been furnished by any one, and
have no architect to whom 1 might turn
over such plans.
The simple facts are these: The authori-
ties Of the park have for some years past
intended to place on exhibition typical
specimens of the different breeds Of dogs
and the superintendent has recently au-
thoriZed me to obtain offers from breeders
of such specimens as they are willing to
present or loan for a prominent exhibit
The entire scheme is still undeveloped, and
any announcement is premature. Informa-
ton should be sought from the authorities
Of the park, and not from me, as l have
no connection with that institution"
