QUESTIONS OF INTEREST
To Be Discussed Before the Twenty fourth Annual Meeting of
 the A. o. U. W.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 16.-Dele- gates from every State of the United States and Canada are in attendance on the twenty-fourth annual con- vention of the Supreme Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Work men which began its sessions here today. The A. o. U. w is the original fraternal cooperative as sociation in America which was or ganized by John Jordan Upchurch in 1868, and now numbers 358, 900 members. The present gathering promises to be one of the most i'm portant in the history of the order because of the numerous questions to be disposed of involving radical changes in A. o. U. w. law. Among them is the question Of changing from the present methods of assess ing all members $1 to system of graded assessments, according to age; the creating of an emergency fund, admission of women to mem bership; raising the age limit of membership from 45 to 50 years and reducing it from 2l to IS years, and establishing a level maximum rate of assessment for all jurisdictions, The session of the convention will as for about ten days.

 The fact that Smith was a witness in such an important case adds mys- tcry to the whole affair. Could lie in this instance have met death at other hands than his own? Was it m reality a suicide?

LOUIS WISE

/
AT 4:30 O'Clock this morning, after
a long and painful illness, Louis
Wise passed away from the ranks OF
the living to the realm of the dead.
He was born 56 years, l month and
II days ago at Mainz, Germany. lie
came to the United States with his
parents when quite young and set
tied in New York, where he engag-
ed in business. In 1862, Mr.. Wise
enlisted in the 10th New York,
which was known as the Excelsior
regiment of New York volunteers
commanded by Col. Egbert, and one
of the famous regiments which the
Empire State sent to the Union army.
The army history OF Mr.. Wise shows
that he was good soldier. He par
ticipated in many of the battles in
Virginia and was mustered out Of
service with an honorable record.
In 1867 he came to Brownsville
and for some years was engaged in
the commission business, where he
accumulated a competence. He was
also, for a number of years, in the
customs service, where he bore the
reputation Of a good officer.
In 1881, Mr.. Wise was married to
Miss Annie HoTnstein. She sur
wives him with three children, Leo,
aged Ia, Emily 10 and Aimee 2
years.
AS is the case with most true Sold
iers, Mr.. Wise was generous minded
and chivalrous. His disposition was
genial, his bearing gentIemanly.
Neat in person, tasteful in dress and
courteous in conduct, he would at
tract attention anywhere. 1t was a
pleasure to meet him. HIS CONVEX
sation was always worth hearing.
In the death of Louis Wise
Brownsville has lost a good citizen.
A wide circle of friends will sadly
miss him and the bereavement of his
family is irreparabie. They have
the sincere sympathy of the entire
community.
Mr.. Wise will be buried this ev-
ening by the masonic fraternity and
the local post of the Grand Army OF
the Republic, of which organizations
he was an honored member.

tention that not every case brought be-
fore this tribunal should be regarded as
''res adjudicata" after the judge has had
his say.
As a matter of course, not all cases
dealt with in the police court should be
appcalabe. Proper consideration of the
subject will readily point out what may
be disposed by the police court judges
without revision by the court above. Cases
of drunk. profanity, disorderly conduct in
the street, and matters of like character,
the penalty for which is merely a fine, or
at worst short term of Incarceration,
may be safely left to the absolute direction
Of the police court. Persons ought to have
an opportunity, however, to appeal to.a
higher court. where the judgment of
the lower would have Q tendency to af-
feet their standing in the community,
Under this head, for instance, might come

looked at the conviction grows stronger
that the bill referred to deserves careful

The Cry FOR More Police.

Major Moore, superintendent of police,
is authority for the statement that at
the present moment one-fifth of the entire
metropolitan police force are either on
detached service, absent on leave or sick.
This means that there are something like
three hundred and sixty-five men patroling
territory OF seventy one square miles.
Not over two-thirds of the number are
available at any one time, SO that about
24O mcn patrol the whole District at night.
That gives three men to each square mile,
as allowance must be made for lieutcnants
and scrgcants, whose duties are merely
supervisory.
4, 1t is no wonder thatthe criminal clement
attracted to the city by these very conditions
has free hand. The police are physically
unable to cope with it. Even If there
were no influx, however, of crooks from
all parts of the country, the decimated force
would have its hands full to deal With
the petty lawbrcakcrs and violators of
ordinance who are here On their native
heath. The necessity for an immediate
increase, SO repeatedly urged by The Times.
Is obvious. This increase should not come
next July, but now, at once, when the
The evening times., 1896-01-12

imperative need of it is made SO plainly
apparent every day and every night.
The House Committee on Accounts re.
fused, a day or two ago, to make provision
for the appointment OF twelve additional
Capitol policemen. Right on the heels of
this refusal came the assault on Hack In
spector Croft under the very shadow of
the Capitol by four men intent upon rob-
berry. The incident should cause the COM
mittce to reconsider its action, for the
Capitol parks and the streets in their yitin-
ity will be considerably frequented by Con-
gressmcn when night sessions are in order.
Major Moore suggests that as a matter
OF protection for themselves they ought to
provide for better policing of the grounds.
The thought may have lurked in the re-
cesses OF the chiefs mind that a solon or
two will have to be ',done up or held up
In order to secure the additional force
Present conditions are the most potent
argument that can be adduced In behalf of
the request for an immediate strengthening
OF the police force, and it is to be iioped
that they viii have sufficient weight with
Congress to insure prompt action.

Give the Poor Devils a Chance.

A bill has been introduced in the House
of Representatives providing for appeals
from the judgments Of the police court.
The necessity for such legislation has fire.
quently been urged, and the appropriate
ness of it will hardly be disputed. In fact,
it seems rather anomalous that the dictum
OF police court judge should be more un-
assailablc than that of a justice of the
supreme court of the District or the YER
dict of jury. Nor can any good reason
be adduced why poor devil who has
stolen $40 should not have the benefit of
a trial in the upper courts just as well
as the fellow that has robbed bank or
broken into a house.
The idea that police court kadi is to
be regarded as infallible has not taken
root very deep in the public mind. On
the contrary. quite the reverse. There is
a strongly developed suspicion that many
q Judgment pronounced there would bear
very well revision by a court less given to
.srailroading' cases. The recent disclosures
in The Times respecting police court
methods in connection with the work
house lend considerable force to the con-
