PATROL SYSTEM.
Reasons for Opposition by Major
Moore.


Moore.
A proposition was made to the superin-
tendent of the District police force several
months ago by the manager of local mes
senger service company to establish here a
police patrol service similar to those in
operation in Cnicago and other cities.
In replying to the managers communica-
ton. Maj. Moore. the superintendent of po-
lice, said he regretted he could not recon-
mend it to the favorable consideration of
the Commissioners. He called attention to
the fact that the proposed service would be
entirely independent OF the legally consti-
tuted police authorities. and would, in his
opinion. conflict inevitably with the Dis
trict police establishment.
No action was, therefore, then taken In
the matter by the Commissioners.
Recently, however, application was made
for the appointment of John ]. Connolly
as an additional private on the police
force, and Major Moore today, in report
ing the application, which was made by
the company, recommended that the mat
ter be referred to the attorney for the Dis
.trict. In doing so, Major Moore called
the attention of Commissioner Wight. who
has charge of the police department, to
the provisions Of the law governing the APP
continent of additional privates on the
police force, which provides among other
things that such appointments may be
made if The necessity therefor is shown.
The whole matter has been referred by
Commissioner Wight to the board of Com
missioners, with the recommendation that
the request of the company be refused. Mr..
Wight believing it would be unwise to
grant it.

moving the cobble stones, from the north

interest by Mr.. A. B. Grunwen. the vice
president of the Metropolitan company; q
representative from the Capital Traction
Company and the contractor. Mr.. 6axton.
The latter said to Star reporter that this
was the beginning of the work which would
result in equipping with the underground
system the section of the Metropolitan road
from 9th street east along q street, and
thence north on the 7th street road to the
property OF the company. He said he had
contract to do the work and that as rap
idly as he could get the material he would
put 1t In.
Mr.. Cromwell asked the reporter smilin8-
iy II this did not look as II the Metropoli-
tan company intended to complete its road.
1t was stated that switch was to be put
In at this point, which would enable the
cars to be shifted from one track to an

FRAME NEW INDICTMENT.
Grand Jury to Make Another Present.
ment Against Frank Miles.

Grand Jury to Make Another Present.
ment Against Frank Miles.
The grand jury, il is understood, is hear.
ing testimony preparatory to reporting an
ether indictment against Frank Miles for
embeZzlement. Miles, il will be remem-
hered, was formerly an employe of the Dis
trct government.
He was arrested last October, charged
with embezzlement In connection with the
issuance of tax certificates, that being the
branch of work OF which he was in charge.
He was indicted as Frank o. Miles. and,
after being arraigned the 14th of January,
pleaded not guilty.
1t has developed that the defendants cor
rect name Is Frank Herbert Miles and not
Frank o. Miles, as apr ears In the indi st.
ment. To overcome this mistake and AN
other technical omission in the presentment
already reported Is the sole reason, so far
a. can be learned, why the grand jury Is
today engaged in framing a new indict-
ment, which will be substituted for the
one now on record.
A Star reporter was informed today at
the office of the district attorney that it is
the intention to place Mills on trial next
week. or, If present plans cannot iol any
reason be carried out, the week following.

CAPT. MURPHY IN SPANISH HANDS.

ehenandOahs Commander an Old
Visitor to Savannah.
Capt James F. Murphy of the American
sailing ship Shenandoah, which was re-
ported captured yesterday by Spanish
cruiser, is well known In Savannah, hav-
ing visited this port several times, though
not with the Shenandoah.
The Shenandoah, IL captured, is
quite prize for the enemy,
being considered the finest Ameri-
can sailing vessel afloat. She was launch
ed In 1890, at Bath. Me-, having been built
by Arthur SewaH & Co., her present own
ers Her gross tonnage is 3,406.7S. Capt.
Murphy was part owner in the vessel,
having $4,000 invested in her. The Shen-
andoah left San Francisco in January with
cargo of grain, bound for Liverpool
from which point she was to return to Bal
umore. March 20 she was reported at
latitude l, south, longitude 80, west. She
was probably near the Spanish coast when
captured.
1t is very likely that Capt Murphy was
taken unawares, as he had no means Of
knowing that a stale of hostilities existed
between the. United States and Spain. Mr..
sam Ross, who is a personal friend Of
apt Murphy, has handsome picture Of
tAe Shenandoah which is now on exhibit
uon in a window of Hicks restaurant.
