Here in December.

The National Poultry Show to Be Held
Here in December.
Mr.. George E. Howard of this city, Sec
rotary Of the National Poultry and Pigeon
Association, has sent out an announcement
that the third annual exhibition Of the Ma
ucnal Poultry and Pigeon Association will
be held In Central Hail, December to H.
1857. inclusive. The dates first selected
were for February 1 to 3, 1898, inclusive.
and as it was found that these were the
only dates upon which the New York club
could hold its show the management Of the
National Association very considerably de-
tcrmined to postpone it's meeting to Febru-
airy 1920.
Many prospective exhibitors declared the
latter dates were too late, as the breeding
season would be greatly interfered with,
and accordingly the December days were
decided on.
Mr.. Howard states in his circular that the
association is completely organized and in
ccrporated. and its financial backing is of
the best. All premiums ara guaranteed to
be paid promptly on the last day of the
show. No pains will be spared to make this
show the greatest yet held in this country,
and he soltcits the cooperation and entries
OF poultry and pigeon fanciers.
A contract has been made for 81 800 for
the erection of exhibition coops, and 1t Is
believed that the show in detail will exceed
any heretofore held in this city, The pre-
MUM list is now in course of completion.
1t is expected that the third annual show
at Washington will be an event long to be
remembered in the history Of feathered
pets.

Prosecution Of Howard Wannell, Alleged
Member Of National Guard.
Failure to Return Equipments the
Cases In Prospect.

An unusual prosecution was instituted
today in the Police Court, one that in
wolves a novel point in regard to enlist
ments in the District of Columbia National
Guard. Howard Wannen was the defend
ant and he was charged with violating the
act of Congress of July .. 1888. in that
being then and there a soldier in the Ma
tional Guard of the District. he did then
and there retain, after demand upon him,
certain public property issued to him upon
the enlistment of him in the National
Guard, that Is to say, one forage cap, one
overcoat, one blouse. one pair of blue
trousers one rifle. one belt, one bayonet
and one scabbard.
First Lieut.. William II. Mellach, COM
manding Company A, 9Th Battalion. was
the complaining witness. He TESTIFIED that
the 9th of last june Wannell was enrolled
as member of Company A. 9th battalion.
and as a soldier of the National Guard
the property mentioned was issued to him.
Capt. Jenkins was in command OF the
company at that time" stated Lieut.. Mel
ZACH. ''Wannell was not seen about the
armory after the 9th of June. and has not
performed any duty with the company.
After I assumed command, in September. l
notified the man by mail to turn in the
property issued to him. AS he failed to do
SO, the only course left open to me was to
bring this prosecution"
Matter of Doubt.
The question then arose as to whether or
not Wannell could be considered "a soldier
of the National Guard Lieut.. Mellach
again explained that Wannell was enrolled,
rot enlisted. He had filled out an enlist
ment blank, but the oath of enlistment
had not been administered. 1t was a sort
Of probationary enlistment, he said. 1t Is
the custom, Lieut.. Mellach stated, to enroll
a man in the manner described, and to
hold the papers for thirty days, such being
permissible. If at the expiration of that
oath Is administered and the paper for
warded TO brigade headquarters. If the
recruit is not desired the paper is Destroy
ed, and that sewers his connection with the
company.
would Wannell be subject to court
martial under the enrolment you speak
OPP inquired Judge Kimball.
mo, sir, promptly replied Lieut. Mellach,
- Judge kfmball volunteered the informa-
ton that the departments have decided
that men who were merely enrolled dur
ing the late war are not entitled to pen
sons.
Wannell told the court that his failure
to return the property was due to illness.
AS ali the property has been recovered
Judge kimball, at the suggestion of AS
posed of the matter by accepting the per-
sonal bonds of Wannell. The question of
whether or not the enrolment made Wan
nell "a soldier Of the National Guard was
not decided
1t is understood that several additional
cases similar IN nature are to be called
to the attention of the court.
