Washington, March 5.-Senator Nor
gan said that 1t was his purpose to in
troduce resolution at an early date
making a second call upon the presi-

know officially what the condition there
is and that the reports of the consuls
should not be withheld for an unusual
length of time. l do not, however,
wish to complicate this matter with the
Maine disaster and shall not introduce
the resolution while the court of in
quiry is sitting unless its report is un-
necessarily delayed. / have set no time
for the presentation of the matter but
will be guided as to the time by cir
cumstances as they arise"

the resolution proposed by him would
be couched in terms demanding the

,,,rv Decides Him Not
Guilty Of Assault
and Battery.


Tho trial OF John F. Schroeder. propri-
nor If the Auditorium saloon, on the
's.roe Of assault and battery took place
'.a.dov afternoon before Judge Fisher,
"a ottracted more attention than the
ordinary justice court case. Quite lew
o,octators we're present, AS stated yes
tsrday. Mr.. Schroeder pleaded not guilty
wbpp brought before the Judge and de-
.o,dsd a Jury trial. He did not have an
a.,ornev but attended TO his own case,
~h,la Prosecuting Attorney Streeter APP
noored for the people. Some little time
GAS consumed in choosing jury but by
noon one was picked out that suited the
attendant and the attorney for theprose-
ton.
At2o'clock in the afternoon the trial
hooan. Mr.. Schroeder and George Lind,
one Of the employees Of the place, were the
principal witnesses for the defense and
Mrs. Reniry was the principal witness
,or the prosecution, as she was the COM
nlaning witness. The testimony OF the
witnesses differed radically. Mrs. Rem
irv claimed that she and the "Klondike
Kid" as he is generally known about
town, went to an officer on the Sunday
in question and asked him to accompany
them to Schroeder's saloon, as they in
tended to see whether it was open ornot.
This the officer refused to do, staung
that they could get their witnesses them
selves and visit the place and then swear
out their warrants II they wanted to
make any complaints.
They then went over to the saloon and
when they got inside they were asked
what business they had and wereprompt-
" ordered out, and after some talking
Mr.. Schroeder put them out. Mrs. Ram
fry claimed that Schroeder used great
force and inflicted bruises upon her arms
that we're there yet. She laid bare her
arm and showed the marks to the jury
and swore that Schroeder put them
there.
On the other hand Schroeder claimed
that he simply caught her by the sleeve
and that he used no force at all, George
Lind swore to the same thing. Mrs.
Remiry stated that the crowd Of men
who were IN the saloon got out in q
hurry when they saw her there.
In advising the jury the attorney ex-
planned what an assault and a battery
was and put the question to them in
plain language. 1t was to decide
whether they believed one side or the
other. That would settle matter. If
Mrs. Remfry stated the,Etruth then
Schroeder was guilty and il Schroeder
and Lind told the truth he was not
guilty, 1t did not take the jury long to
decide and they brought in verdict for
, Schroeder OF not guilty.
Mr.. and Mrs Remfry say the end is
not yet. AS soon as the case was over
Mrs. Remfry swore out a warrant for
Schroeder's arrest on the charge OF keep
ing his saloon open on Sunday and she
says she will push the matter to the Bit
! ter end. Mr.. Remiry is closing his saloon
on Sunday and he will see that the others

has evidence against every saloonkeeper

day and he will make them obey the law
aslong as he has to.

Decorated with War Trophies.

There are still "reminiscences of war

warrior brothers, lovers and friends
have decorated room with the trophies

first whether they are in Porto Rico,
Camp Wikoff or some other military
encampment. The walls i'll the room

few others-lithosraphs framed arts.

that is used SO much for photograph

painted on directly around the picture.
These colors match the portieres of the
room which are of dark gray with
black stripes and are nothing more or
less than army blankets. which make
most effective hangings.
Perhaps the most attractive features
of the furnishings are two beds placed
side by side simple cots with white
canvas valances and at the heads point

head of each tent bed hangs what in an

Over the bureau mirror is another tent

American flags. The flags relieve what
