ANACOSTIA POLICE STATION.
Probability of Provision for a Moderl
Equipment.

1t is stated upon reliable authority that
after the District appropriation bill passes
Congress Anacostia will secure police sta
ton more worthy Of the name than is the
present one. Major Sylvester superintend-
ent of police, has caused a notice to that
effect, bearing date December II, to be dis
played in Anacostia. Officials of the police
department who have investigated believe
that for the sum named in the appropria-
ton biil-S36Y per year-a first-class build
ing can be secured. The one used at pres
ent is situated on Harrison street and is
wholly inadequate to the needs of the An
acostia force.
The rent paid for this building amounts to
5000 per year. 1t has been in use now as a
station house over eight years.
1t is stated that an offer has been made by
one person to erect a modern brick building
with quarters for a reserve force for the
yearly rent that Is to be paid for the use of
a building, the expectation being that the
contract will continue for some years to
come and probably terminate by the pur-
chase of the same by the District.

DisaGrees With Eagan.

General Ludington did not agree with the
suggestion of Comulissary General Eagan
that the commissary department ought to
furnish cooking and eating utensils and
their transportation, well as provide
food.
Concerning the shipment of medical sup
plies, General Ludington said they were
rushed forward promptly, or more so,
than any other supplies, and he knew of
no instance where there had been delays
of weeks in shipping medicine, from New
York to Camp Alger. from st. Louis 10
Camp Thomas. This had been the teSu-
nony of numerous other witnesses.
DR.. Conner cited one instance where a
aO0-bed hospital outfit had been lost be-
tween New York and Fernandna.
General Ludington said that his depart
rrent at present was quite fairly supplied
with efficient officers, although he did not
have quite so many as he wanted.

Gen. Ludington's Testimony.

AT the afternoon session of the commits
sion yesterday after The Stars report
closed, Quartermaster General Ludington
testified as to the operations of his depart
ment prior to and during the war He re-
ceived his first allotment of 100000 from
the $5O050,00O emergency fund early in
April and pushed the manufacture of all
equipments produced in United States arse
nails to the utmost. The chief difficulty in
preparing the army equipment, he said, was
in securing tent duck and kersey, which
We're manufactured especially for the army
acquisitions for tents were filed promptly
as a rule. and he recollected very few delays
in furnishing hospital tents. Manufacturers
did not apparently increase their stocks to
any. extent before the actual call for ma
terial from the department. This applied
to wagons and all other material required
by the quartermaster's department
In answer to Governor Beaver, General
Ludington said it might be well to provide
against future emergencies by keeping on
hand equipment for at least two years in
advance. This could be done with many
classes of supplies without danger of deteri-
grafton.

War Investigation Commission Held
An Executive Session.
TROUBLE AMONG IT'S SFENOGRhPHERS
Half Of Them Resign and Accuse
Other Half Of Incompetency.
LETT ER OF GR1EV n c E

The war investi CATION commission sat he
hind closed doors today, and its proceedings
were not announced for publication. No
witnesses appeared, and the session was
executive in character.
In spite Of the secrecy observed, The Star
reporter learned that half of the commits
sions force of stenographers resigned to-
Gay.
Four experts are employed constantly to
record and trans cribe into longhand the
testimony of the numerous witnesses that
appear from day to day. They paid
salary of $125 month each, and even at
that stipend for shorthand work the COM
mission has had difficulty in getting enough
men who are sufficiently expert to make the
record of evidence. The strain which these
men are under has caused a number to
break down and abandon their positions.
Messrs. Evans and Marriott who but re-
Gently were brought here from New York
to fill vacancies upon the stenographic
force, were the two to resign this morning.
They prepared a joint letter, which they
signed and handed to the president of the
commission, Gen. Dodge.
The Striking stenographers.
In discussing their action, one of them
stated to The Star reporter
The letter informs the commission that
we DO not care to continue the work under
the present conditions. We two came here
from New York recently, where we stand
high as experts in the taking of testimony.
We were promised $l25 a month, and also
were told that would alternate the work
with the other ,wo steuogra piers already in
the employ of tae commission. There would
have been no complaint on our part if that
arrangement had been carried out, but it
has not been done. AS matter of fact nv
friend and myself have been called upon to
do nearly all the work, and instead of
working in alienation we have been re-
Guired to take session after session, while
the other two men have done little or moth
ing at all. The fact is that one of the others
is utterly unable to do the work. but that
Is no reason why we should submit to the

that we must be paid folio rates if our

positions altogether

Tate has been summoned home by the Sc
rious illness of his little daughter. Before
leaving Washington he received notice
from the postoftice department. that his
request for a daily mail service from
Blairville to Blue Ridge has been granted.
This will prove a great convenience to
the people of that section Congressman
Tate is fortunate in being able to get it
through al this time when the tendency
in the postofice department is towards re-
trenehment and extensions are hard TO
get.
Senator Bacon and Congressman Brant-
ley were at the interior department and
the pension Office this morning in the in
terest of j. S. Virgins, who was recently
discharged by Commissioner Evans for no
other reason than that he was appointed
under a Democratic administration. Mr.
Virgins is from Brunswick, and in some
respects his case is a peculiar one. He
was for long time in the railway mail
service and was badly hurt in a wreck
so badly that he has had to use crutches
ever since. He was so badly hurt that he
was unable to continue in the mail service.

There were no charges against him. but

a right to expect reinstatement; but he

REUNION OF THE CoNFEDERArEs.
Split at Atlanta over the Selection of
the site.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE question of To-
cation for the Confederate Veterans reun-
ion this summer has caused a decided split
in the ranks of the local camps. Last week
the committee of arrangements adopted a
resolution in favor of using the old expo
sition grounds and buildings. That is what
has caused the kick from a large element
who think that the meetings should be held
inside the city The Sam Jones tabernacle
is favored by this element and strenuous
efforts are being made to get the commit
tee to abandon the exposition building
which is three miles out.
Those who oppose the exposition grounds
say that the reunion will be a failure il
this place is insisted upon, as everybody
will have to go out to the meetings by
car. and the result will be that no meeting
will be satisfactory
The preparations are being made by the
Daughters of the Confederacy for the en-

her party of distinguished women. 1t is
proposed to ask each county in the state
to send delegation of ten of their hand

pliment to Mrs Davis at one of the great

SPAT IN HER FACE.
Lively Time In Justices Court
During "a Trial at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb 2--Some of the De-
catur street colony OF Russian Jews made
a lively scene in the court room of JUS
tice Orr to-day, the climax being reached
when one of the women in the case spat
in the face of another, who was on the
witness stand giving testimony.
The trouble in the colony grew out of
the marital infelcity of Mrs. Dora KEEL
shor and her husband She had the lat
ter arrested for cruelty and non-support,
alleging many mean things of him. The
plaintiff, through an interpreter, said that
three months ago she came to this coun-
try from Russia TO join her husband, who
had preceded her ten years or more. 1t
appears that she was not extended
hearty welcome and the two have lived
cats and dogs lives ever since. She
brought along with her a son and a
daughter-in-law. and these were no more
welcome than the wife. the upshot of the
business being that the Kelshor family
was a most disturbing element in the De
catur street colony.
1t was the daughter-in-law who STAN
peded the court by splitting in the face
of Mrs. Spherling, one of the witnesses
who was taking sides with the husband.

ROBERT WHITFIELD DEAD.
One of Baldwin COunty's Most Prom
inent Citizens Passes Away.


Milledgeville, Ga. Feb. s2-The people
of Milledgeville are in deep sorrow on ac-
count of the death of Col. Robert Whit
field, which occurred at Suwanee Springs.
Fla. last night.
For more than a year he has been III
with throat trouble. His recent rapid
decline was noticed 10y his family and
friends and he was persuaded to go to
Florida, hoping that the change would
benefit him. and he left home about a
week ago.
Yesterday dispatch was received from
his brother Col. Boiling Whitfield. stating
that he was failing rapidly and the worst
was feared. The news of his death. which
came this morning, was a sad shock.
His remains reached Macon this after
noon at o'clock and will be buried in
that city tomorrow. His wife is a daugh-
ter of the late Col Charles j. Harris of
Macon, and this probably caused the fam
lily TO decide TO bury the remains in Ma
con. The members of the bar and many
citizens of this place will attend the flu
neral.
Col. Whitfield was Solicitor General of
the Ocmulgee circuit for many years and
had represented Baldwin county in both
branches of the general assembly. He was
gifted as an orator and popular as a citi-
gen. He was about As years of age and

BRIDEGROOM A SUICIDE.
Blows out His Brains Ten Days After
His Marriace

Naldosta, Ga, Feb. "A telephone mes
sage to the Times this evening from Ha-
hira brings the news of the suicide of j.
E. Warn. a well known and prosperous cit
izen of this county, and groom who left
the marriage alter only ten days ago
The body of the dead man was found by
passers-by within 800 yards Of his house
the tragedy having been enacted as ne re-
turned to his home from the home of one
of his neighbors.
No cause is assigned, though a note was
found pinned to tree near the scene In
the note he stated that he was tired of life
that his mind had been falling for a num-
Der of years, and that he had grown no
better He intimated that he regretted the
step only on account of his wife, to whom
he was married week before last. He said
that she was noble woman and that she
had been all that good wife could have
been during their brief married life
He left home after breakfast this morn
ing and carried a gun, which he had bor-
rowed back to its owner. Arriving at the
neighbours house, he told him that he
wanted to keep the gun a few days longer,
ana wanted to borrow few more shells.
He was given seven loaded shells and
started back TO his own home.
When a short distance from his house,
the rash act was committed, though moth
ing was known of it until he was found by
neighbors later in the day.
Mr.. Warm was brother of j. B. Warn, a
prominent merchant of this city. He was
prosperous farmer, and was esteemed as
a man of strong intelligence by all of his
neighbors, and those who knew him.
The tragedy has thrown a cloud of gloom
over that section of the county.
The marriage license which united Mr.
Warn to Miss Harriet Webb was returned
to the ordinary yesterday by the official
who performed the ceremony. In issuing it
Judge Smith endorsed it on the back in a
pencil mark may you live long and be
happy" not dreaming that the groom
would become a victim of self-destruction
al so early time.
