DISTRICT MARSHALSHIP
Mr.. Wilson will Likely Serve Out His
- Term.
Gossip Points to "a Local Man as His
$depessOr-Mr. Hahn's

ReferrinE b the published report that
he would Exchange places with District
Commissiofefr John w. Ross Marshal A.
A Wilson stated to a Star reporter today
that the story was news to him. 80 far
as I know" said Mr.. Wilson, there is not
word of truth in It. I have received. in
deed, not. the slightest intimation of such
an arrangement from the President or
from any one authorized to speak for him.
So you can see that You know much
about it as l do, and that is absolutely
nothing
Being asked if he would accept an ap-
pointment successor to Commissioner
Ross, Mr.. Wilson declined to express him
self one way or the other.
For some reason or other the impress
sion prevails at the city hall that not only
will President Mckinley permit Marshal
Wilson to- complete his term of four years.
but also that the President will select a
District man as his successor. Mr.. CleVe-
land allowed ex-Marshal Ransdell to con-
tinue in the office some six months more
than four years, and it is not believed that
President Mckinley will disregard such a
precedent. Mr.. Wilson's term of four years
Will not expire until the early part of next
January, about ten months from now.
Those who believe that he will finish his
term point to the fact thai ne Is warm
personal friend of Mr.. Cleveland. and they
say that it is more than probable that Mr.
Cleveland has intimated to President Nc
Kinley that he would be pleased to see Mr..
Wilson complete his term.
Then, again. it is pointed out that Mr..
Wilson is a gold democrat and it Is claimed
on what appears to be good authority
that the President will permit such smen
to complete their terms of office.
OF course, it is admitted that Mr.. VIM.
NJ. Hahn of Ohio, Marshal Wilson'S re-
puted successor. is a close personal friend
of the President and that he has also per-
formed some service for his party. but it
is claimed that nevertheless he will not
be marshal of the District. Certainly not
at this early period of the new administra-
ton. at least. A more important position,
it is said. will be given him, and District
man will be selected to succeed Marshal
Wilson. AT any event, it is known that
most determined effort is being made to
induce President Mckinley to select a Dis
trict man. and the man who will be
lected is said to be Mr.. Myron M. Parker.
At least that is the impression of those
about the city hall who claim to be well
informed in the matter.

eye CT the public quite extensively of late.

age of twenty-one years. This actionVHas
taken by Judge Miller, in the Police Court.
after hearing testimony in support of the
charge of ineorrisibilty preferred against
the girl by her mother, Mrs. Mary Nc
GiEn.
On taking the stand Mrs. McGnn be-
gan to weep copiously. She produced let
ters from the chief of police of New York
city, attesting that she was woman of
eminent respectabiity. She also showed
a transcript. from the records of the
Church of the Holy Name, New y ork, set
ting forth that Madge was born in 1880.
and. therefore. is but seventeen years of
age.
In tones of distress, Mrs. McGinn told the
court that Madge. without cause, left her
nome a year ago last October The girl
went to Coney Island. stated the mother
and bleached her hair. Next she went off
with a man ald was not heard from until
two weeks ago, when she was loca ted in a
house of ill-fame in the Division in this
city. All in all, concluded Mrs. McGinn,
Madge was a bad wicked, naughty little
girl.
Attorney Siller5, addressing the court
said that he had no doubt that Mrs Nc
Gian was a good woman. He then went on
an assault case against Policeman hielien
and afded that when that is disposed of
she would return with her mother to New
York
II don't want her home" interrupted
Mrs. McGnn.
We'll, what do you want done with
herr" the mother was asked.
Il want to put her in the hands of the
judge, was the answer, $50 that he can
put her r some institution where she can
be kept from evil"
Madge allowed to make statement
she declaring that she was nineteen years
of age She said she was willing TO go
home with her mother, but added "If
you send me to Jail or any place like that
I'll never take any notice of her again,
never.
And if you went hcme with your moth
err remarked the court, you would prob
ably go to Coney Island with a man before
you had been in New York a day The re-
form school is the best place for you"
God bless you judge: God bless you"
said Mrs. McGinn fervently.
after hearing the details of this affair."
stated Attorney Sillers, las they will be
brought out in the assault case against
the policeman next week. I think your
honor will change your mind and amend
your ruling"
"Such is possible" said Judge Miller
The assault case will probably be tried
Tuesday next.

DISTRICT AroRNEYsH1p.
MIR. Davis Friends Think He VIII
Hold On.

1t is very apparent that the friends Of
District Attorney Henry E. Davis expecr
that President Mckinley will either allow
fsm to remain in Office or will send his
name to tne Senat as his own successor
Mr. Davis. of course, declines to say any,
thing ir the matter
1t is claimed by the friends of Mr. Davis
that only ole thing prevented his confirma-
ton by the late Senate. and that was the
TACT that he was and is gold democrat
His confirmation was prevented by the
silver men, so say his friends solely NV
silver men reinforced by sound money men
who saw that under the appointment nv
the District Supreme Court he would hoId
office during the pleasure of the President
Therefore, 1t Is said, enough sound money
men voted with the silver people to Law the
nomination on the table.
President Mckinley, so the friends of Mr.
Davis assert, has expressed a decided par-
tiality for gold democrats. and has, thew
further say, expressed an intention to rec
ognize them in making appointments
AS Mr. Davis failed of confirmation be-
cause he Is a gold democrat, as his friends
allege. they claip' that his nomination by
President McKin = would be not only most
proper. but also an appropriate recogni-
tion of the services Of the gold democrats
during the late campaign.
Ex-District Attorney Birney would ac-
cept reappOintment. but 1t is understood
that he will do nothing to antagonize Mr.
Davis friends.
