NEW MIN ON THE TRAIL
Detective POhler of Baltimore
Takes Up the Buxton Case.
INTERVIEWED THE VICTIMS
He Had Long Talk With Mr.. and
Mrs Buxton at Garfield Hospital
No Developments at the Scene of
the Assault-Witne Questioned
by the Sleuth.

Detective Hermann Pohler OF baltimore
arrived i'll Rockville yesterday afternoon.
He has been assigned by Marshal Frey TO
unravel the Gaithers3urg mystery. He
began to work half an hour after his ar
rival in Washington en- route to the scene
of the assault.
AT o'clock yesterday he took the train
for Rockville. where he visited some Of
the witnesses in the county jail
Detective Pohler has formed no opin-
ion as yet regarding the crime. He stated
yestc rday that he had not been suf-
ficently long on the case to formulate any
conclusion. His idea will be to work the
case anew, go over it from the beginning
just as if there rad been no Randolph or
any other suspect.
His first step in this direction was his
visit TO the jan, where he spent several
hours interviewing the two little boys
held as witnesses. These boys are the
ones who have already been mentioned
several times as the relatives of Neal.
ELECTED NOTHING NEW.
The interview with the boys was long,
and they were removed some distance
from the jail that no other witnesses might
near the statements. TIE little fellows
did not vary in their stories, and re-
pcated the statements they made when
first questioned.
After the interview Detective Pohler
was in close consultation with States At
,orney hilgOur.
The detective said yesterday that in
ais estimation it was peculiar thing
,hing that a large negro, intending to
commit a crime like that OF last Monday
morning, had inflicted the lightest in
5uries upon the man. Experience had
shown that such an assaiant would en-
deavor to first put out of the way Mr..
Buxton and would make sure of killing
aim before almost butchering helpless
children.
The coat said 10 have been found by
Justice Stonestreet has not yet been
brought TO light and no weight is given to
the report that he has such evidence in his
possession.
DETECTIVE SEES THE BUTTONS.
Detective Pohler, accompanied by Mr.
Alexander KilgOur, States attorney for
Montgomery county, arrived in this city
yesterday afternoon. The detective has
been Ssigned to the Buxton cas- by Marshal
Frey at the urgent solicitation OF Mr.
Kilgour, who holds that the case should be
carefully gone over by man trained in
criminal work The Washington detectives
say Hermann Pohler, though a young man,
Knows his business and will do good work
IN unraveling the tangled skein.
Detective pobIer commenced his investi-
cation Immediately upon his arrival here
He drove out to Garfield Hospital and held
an extended interview with Mr. and Mrs.
Buxton Those present at the interview
We're Messrs Kilgour and Pohler and one
Of the physicianS.
The detective made notes as he interro-
gated the victims of last Mondays as
sault, and afterward proceeded to Rock
vile He announced his intention OF GO
ing 10 Gaithersburg bright and early this
morning to commence work and will not
relnquIsh his efforts until the crime is
cleared up, if that is possible

PoLICEMAN's AIM WAS POOR.
Fired Three Shots at Burglar In the
Bright wood Hotel

Conside rable excitement prevailed at
the Bright wood Hotel about 2:30 yester-
day morning by the chasing OF burglar
who forced an entrance into the building
and was fired upon by the police. The
househreaker led Policemen Stuerman and
Kopp long chase and eventually escaped.
The man entered the hotel by prying
open a rear basement window. Several
dogs stationed in the back va rd We're
aroused and barked at the intruder hut
this did not frghten him way. A servant
in the bouse heard the burglar walking
upstairs after he had reached the inside
but was too frightened to give the alarm.
Policemen Stuerman and Kopp were
aroused to action by the barking CANNES
and hurried to the spot. By this time the
thief was a ware that some one was on
his trail. and when Officer Stuerman
jumped into the hallway there was
lively chase. The burglar darted here and
there in the dark and leaped from the
front dining-rOom window and sped across
the lawn.
Both Officers started in pursuit and ran
the man to Dir. stones residence. which
adioins the hotel grounds. Kopp whipped
out his revolver and fired three shots at
the fleeing form. Neither of the bullets
took effect and the burglar disappeared
in the darkness.

GODS SILVER QUESTION.
His Ratio Is One 10 the World-Ont
to All Mankind

Gods Silver Question was the theme
of the Rev H W Ennis discourse in the
western Presbyterian Church last even
ing. The reverend gentleman took for
his text Zachariah bin IA nd L Will
refiue them as silver is refined, and they
shall say the Lord is my God
The speaker began by saying that If in
the present day newspaper editor Cr
correspondent wanted subject upon
which to write he had but to go to the
halls Of Congress, fer the opinions of those
who spoke daily in reference to the iinan-
cial status of the country. The agitatnrs
quoted from the statements Of others, hat
he would quote from the Bible. The law
is a guide TO prosperity Love is the
fulfillmeut OF the law. God is love. Let
u.s. therefore, believe that Gods silver
question is the silver question.
The monetary thinkers are searching
for au acceptable International money
standard; one that will be acceptable to
all the countries OF the world.
The name of Jesus Christ is the inter
national accepted standard His is Di-
vine; the highest and best, and, therefore,
represe nting him as the richest metal-the
gold standard. ManifeStly the creatures
of his handi work must be on a lower
plane or basis-the silver basis. In God
and man we have the gold and silver
standard We do not worry about the
gold stauda rd. for Christ Jesus is the
highest standard; but for practical pur-
poses, for the redemption of sinful and
bankrupt world, we need bmetalism: that
is, more of the divine and human mingled.
God coming down to man in the person Of
Ch rist Jesus.
The ratio of 1 to 15 2, l to 16, and
/ to 20 is talked Of, but in the reality
of Christ's love the Divine ratio is one to
the great world, one to the race of man
kind Christ is the Redeemer of the fallen
race This is Gods ratio. The whole
matter then resolves itself in the purity
of the silver.

in the Gume-Taken to the Station.

Two score or more of Celesuals sat last

festive game of fantan. The joint is run
by Moy Ting and Yum Sing and is over the
commercial rooms OF QuouG Sang Lung

1t was the biggest game of the season.
There were yeus, taels, shekelS, dimes dol

He, with squad of the finest gendarmes
in the country, swooped down on the fan

SKIN Jap, he dumped the whole layout
into a caravan of police patrols. 1t was
fine coup de finesse, this raid and its results,
for the Celestials are as wary as summer
ducks in the shooting season.
The hauling out of these Sunday sinners
was the cause OF considerable excitement
in the vicinity, which was not in any degree
decreased by the objurgations OF the Celes-
tiais, which will doubtless be rendered
freely by the court interpreters this morn
