FINED FOR USING PROFANITY.
George r. Barnes Pays for Abusing
PawnbrOker.

George r. barneh rays IOE -NDusInS
n PawnbrOker.
George F. Barnes, twenty-one years old.
was arrested yesterday and locked up by
Policeman Kilmartln. of the First pre-
cinct. for Detective ?arham, on warrant
charging profanity. The arrest is the Sc
quel of a peculiar story. based on occur
rences of last week. and in which Barnes
was a central figure. II is understood that
the warrant for the arrest was issued at
the request of pawnbroker, who claims to
! have had dealings with :hc prisoner.
| Barnes was previously arrested last Sat
| urday night by Detective Parham, charged
| with the larceny of a valuable stataette
from Ollie Davis of No. 1904 ID Street
| northwest, who claims to be the man
wife. The statuette was recovered ircm
the pawnbroker. who. together with two of
his clerks. identified Barnes as the man
who pawned it. Barnes was not prosecut-
ed, however as the Davis woman refused
to appear against him. Furthermore. sne
was greatly inceused when she learned that
he had been arrested. She reported the
theft of the article. and when she learned
that Barnes was accused Of being The gull
ty party she made strenuous efforts 10 Sc
cure his release. and informed the Gctec-
tives that she was his wife.
AS the case against Barnes could not
proceed without a prosecuting witness and
as the Davis woman stoutly maintained
her refusal to appear against him he was
released. and the statuette returned to the
pawnbroker from whom it had been re-
covered. This indemnified the pawnbroker
for the money advanced on the statuette
and he was satisfied.
1t appears that Barnes was not satisfied,
and it is alleged that he proceeded to the
place of business where he is said to have
pledged the statuette and upbraided the
proprietor in vile terms. So vile was the
alleged language that it was decided to
procure warrant for the alleged offender
with the result that his arrest followed.
Barnes forfeited $40 collateral in the Police
Court this morning.

BERRY ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
Miss Annie Clark Tcstifics Concern
ing the Killing of Her Sister.

to murder Miss Annie Clark, sisters. at
their home near Bowie. Md. on March IS
last, is on trial here He has been identi-
fled by Miss Annie Clark as the murderer
and assailant. number of witnesses tes-
tilted that they had heard Berry confess
the crime. Two sticks of flrewood, used
in the attack: a blood-stained suit OF
clothes, and other evidences of the crime
were shown to the jury. The improvised
clubs are covered with blood and still have
long hairs adhering to them. brass
watch, owned by Berry and found under
Miss Amanda Clark's body. was also put
in evidence.
Miss Annie Clark. who was the last
witness for the State, was an Interesting
figure at THE trial. She was heavily yeiled
in mourning, the ugly wounds on her face
inflicted by Berry being thus concealed.
Miss Annie Clark said in evidence:
MY sister and were sitting at the ta-
hle few minutes after o'clock and were
nearly through supper. when Berry came
in as usual. First he struck me On the
top of the head with a heavy piece Of oak
wood, and then he struck my sister. We
had no power to help ourselves. l held
my hands over my sister and she held her
hands over me to keep him from hitting
us. We were begging him not to hurt
us and screaming all the time. When my
sister was struck the last blow she said.
I'm gone, Mercy. Jesus" My sister nev-
er spoke after that.
Berry was brought before me afterward
and l identified him. After his attack on
us heard him go through all the rooms
in the house. l called to him when he
was in the next room to where we were
and asked him to go for doctor. l also
asked him to put pillows under our heads
and throw something over me, as l was
cold. l swore to him 1 wouldn't tell on
him. He compelled me to make the sign
of the cross, and said he would go for
doctor after he had changed his clothes.
That was the best way out, he said, as
they would soon get him II he went away.
I told him to stop at my brothers while
he was out"
A strong effort was made to exclude as
evidence the confession made by Berry,
but 1t failed. The witnesses to whom the
confession was made were examined to as
certain IL the confession had been made
under threats or promises Of reward. All
said the confession was made voluntarily,
and Judge Wright ruled that it was ad-
missible. During this preliminary exami-
nation Berry was called to the stand.

Choose Officers Tomorrow.
The annual election of officers Of the
Columbia Typographical Union. No. 1O1,
will be held tomorrow afternoon between
the hours of l and O'Clock. Ballots viii
be cast at the various chape!s of the or
ganization between 2:3O and p. m. Hit1-
erto it has been the custom to count the
ballots at the Office Of the secretary OF the
union. which resulted in a delay of day
or two in making the announcement OF the
successful candidates. This year the
count will be made at each chapel imme-
diately after the closing of the polls ana
the returns sent to the secretary's ONCE
where they will be announced after bling
officially compiled. The scattering voters
will select their choice at the Office OF the
secretary. The election this year has ere
ated considerable interest among the
printers. on account OF the strong per-
sonal following of the several candidates
The President of the Union. Edwin c.
Jones, has been unanimously renominated
by the printers in compliment to the sue
cessful administration of his office. Dur
ing his incumbency Mr.. Jones has effected
material aid to the printers. one OF which
was the increase in pay to 81 day IN the
Government Printing Office. The following
officers have been. TeEominated and stand
alone on the ticket: For vice president
Frank S. Lerch; secretary. William M.
Garrett; doOrkeeper, Jacob l.. Fechtig, and
organizer, Clement C. Hipkins.
The fight for the treasurer's portfolio Is
between John J. Higgins. the present in
cumbent, and John F. Mccormick. with
the chances of success in favor OF the
present officer. For sergeant-at-a arms It Is
expected that Charles T. Burns. who now
fills the office, VIII easily defeat Frank
Bates.
The ballot for the delegates to the Inter-
national Typographical Union. which
meets at Detroit in August. is the object
of considerable speculation. There are
nine candidates in the field, four OF whom
are to be elected. Harry B. Goodrell.
Charles E. Holmes. John S. Leech. Will
liam F. O'Brien. Timothy NJ. Ring and
Milton NJ Smith are employed at the
Government Printing Office.
Francis Benzler. William Galbraith, and
Harry f. Sauter are known as downtown
candidates" or these men Sauter is be-
lieved to have the best show, as Benzler
and Galbraith. both of whom are from the
Post chapel, are thought to be hurting
each others chances of success.
Three delegates are generally selected
from the Government Printing Office and
one from down town. The fight among the
candidates from the Government Printing
Office is said to be between GOodrell Leech
Ring. and Holmes, with the possibility OF
'Brien slipping in on the strength OF his
record as a soldier in Cuba.

Owner of Dogs Explains Why His
Kennel Wns Crcmnted.
Boston, May 16.-John Welch. who lost
fifty-five valuable dogs by the burning of
his kennels at Brighton last Friday, says
that he was in the house adjoining the
kennels when the flames reached them, and
that he might have saved the whole lot.
He did not release them because he fear
ed that the dogs, many of them of savage
breeds, would have harmed the spectators
and firemen, for, crazed with excitement,
they would no doubt have bitten everyone
in their path. So Mr.. Welch deliberately;
sacrificed his pets.
