GAVE THE BABY AWAY.
The Police Investigating the Disap-
pcurnnce of II COlorcd Child.

The Police Investigating the Disap-
pcarnnce of Colorcd Child.
ophlia Brooks colored, was arrested by
Detective Peck, of the headquarters force.
late yesterday afternoon, and will be held
until enquiry can be made as to what has
become of her child, which mysteriously
disappeared from her mothers home about
July II, and regarding whose disappear
ance the woman tells what the police re-
gard as an impossible story. The child was
born June 2, 1899. When last seen, ac-
cording TO the mother of the prisoner, the
babe was being wheeled down the street
from the Brooks woman's home, 461 Union
Street southwest, in a baby carriage, by
two colored women.
The prisoner denies having made way
with the baby, and told the detective who
arrested her that the child was with Mamie
Lewis. who had agreed to find home for
it. On being questioned closely she said
she had not seen the child since she gave il
to the Lewis woman, and she did not know
where the latter lived
She claims she met Mrs. Lewis and her
husband on the corner of Four-and- "a half
and NJ Streets southwest, about July II, by
agreement, and turned the baby over to
them. The couple were in a surrey. she
said, and after receiving the child they
drove off, making promises to see that 1t
was well cared for. The police found that
the Lewis family lived at 461 l. Street
southwest. and when enquiry was made at
the house ii was found that Mamie Lewis
left this city for Richmond, Va, July ~,
and has been there ever since She has a
child Of her own. the police learned, which
was born one week ago Her husband was
at home when the police called. and he said
he never heard of such a woman as ophelia
Brooks, and he did not believe his wife
knew her either.

LEARNING HOW TO SHOOT.
The Policemen to He Given Regular
Pistol Practice.


| In accordance with orders issued by
Major Sylvester some time ago the mem
bers of the police force who were on re-
serve and could be spared from their pre-
! cincts, assembled at the Centre Market
Armory yesterday afternoon at o'clock
where they inaugurGted the system OF pis-
! tol practice which Will be kept up by the
police force in the future. For long time
! it was evident to the Superintendent of
! Police that his men were not as familiar
with the handling of their weapons of de-
fence as they should be, and it was some
time before a remedy could be found for
this defect. When the commanding officer
of the National Guard heard of the di-
lemma OF the Superintendent of Police he
offered the use Of the National Guard rife
gallery. The offer was accepted, and the
men had their first practice yesterday.
About one hundred of them appeared at
the gallery during the time devoted, and
the showing made was remarkable, consd-
erlng the fact that few of them had ever
handled a pistol on pistol range before.
1t is a difficult matter for a man unaccus-
toned to the use of the weapon to hit a
target three by enc and one-half feet at
twenty-five PAGES, but almost all of the
men managed to place their bullets in the
target somewhere although few of them
hit the bullseye The shooting was under
the direction OF Captain Austin and Lieu
tenants Amiss and Heffner.
The men who appeared for practice rep
resented all of the precincts in the city,
and were divided into squads of twenty.
They were armed with two styles of revol-
vers and two sizes of cartridges were used.
One of the main points brought out by the
shooting yesterday was the fact that the
revolvers used by the men were in bad con-
dition, generally, and a number of the cart
ridges used failed to explode. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that some of the
weapons used have never been fired before,
and in some cases the cartridges have been
in them ever since they were issued from
the property room of the department 1t is
expected that 1t will take four days for the
entire Police Department to shoot. These
practices will be continued indefinitely,
each officer being expected to shoot six
rounds from his revolver once month

| structions that are to be followed at all OF

MAY LAY TRACKS.
Attorney DuvnII Decides n Question
of Street Railway Law.


The Anacostia and Potomac River Rail-
road Company applied to the District Com
missioners during June for permission to
lay tracks in Fourth Street from its inter-
section with G Street northwest to Hare
| wood Avenue and north on the latter thor
| oughfare to Elm Street. The District Com
missioners requested their Attorney, An
| drew B. Duvall, to consider the advisable
| ity of taking the desired action before they
should do so. and he submitted to the Com
missioners yesterday an opinion holding
that the city authorities have authority to
grant the application.
Attorney Duvall states that Congress in
1896 authorized the Belt Railway Company
to lay down and operate a double track
railway from Fourth and Streets north
west north on Fourth Street TO Florida
Avenue, thence north across the avenue to
Hardwood Street and thence along Hare
wood Street to Elm Street The extern
sions were to be completed within one year.
The Anacostia and Potomac River Railway
! Company is the purchaser of all the prop
! erty and franchises of the Belt railway,
and the question is raised whether the for
J mer corporation is entitled to lay tracks
/ in the streets not occupied by the latter
railway within such time as it should have
laid the tracks.
Attorney Duvall says that in his opinion
the provision which states that the cor
poration SO purchasing may operate the
franchises and property so purchased as a
part of its system. subject to all rights and
obligations imposed by existing legislation
of the act, entities the Anacostia and Po-
+ tomac Company TO construct tracks in the
streets mentioned" In conclusion Mr.. Du-
vail asserts that the act of Congress of
1898 operated TO vivify previous legislation
authorizing extensions which had not been
made within the period of the limited time.
He believes that the Commissioners may
grant the company's application, but Com
missioner Ross says he fails to understand
how the successor of the Belt Railway
Company can exercise power which the
Belt company itself seems to have lost by
a lapse of time. He deems 1t wiser for the
Commissioners to refrain from allowing
the extension until directed to do go by the
courts.

TAX SALES INVALID.

me hush OF business Made Legal
Transfers an ImpossibiIity.
Charles W. Collins, the Acting Assistant
Collector of Taxes for the District. lately
submitted to the Commissioners list of
the property which was sold at the Dis
trict tax sale last April. Certificates we're
issued for the property but they have be-
come invalidated for the reason, so Mr..
Collins states, that there was a large and
unexpected increase over all former sales
ana the collectors were unable to furnish
copy of the record OF sale to the various
ofhces in which bills are prepared. He
says that no effort was spared by the
Office to prevent errors. During the busy
season in May. he adds, the small force
in the Office was not equal to the prompt
despatch of the current work and such
close examination of bills as would insure
complete accuracy. Mr.. Collins recon-
mended that in view of these facts the
certificates referred to in a list submitted
by himself be declared void and Cancelled
and the purchase money refunded with
Interest at the rate of per cent per
annum.
The Commissioners referred the matter
to their Attorney, who has advised them
that the request of the Acting Assistant
Collector is based on an act of Congress
which authorizes the refunding OF moneys
enormously paid for taxes. The act holds
that per cent interest shall be paid The
interest and purchase money are payable
upon surrender OF the certificate of sale
or the execution OF quit-claim deed TO
the District. All payments made under
the provisions of the act are chargeable
to the fund which was credited with the
original deposit. The Attorney says he is
certain the act is still in fun force, and
recommends that the request of the Col
lector be granted.

HoD CARRIERS AT ODDS.
The Building Trades Council Gusts
Secretary Morgan

The organization of second union of
hod-carriers in the city has caused fric-
ton between the Operative Plasterers and
the first formed hod-carriers' union. The
matter was brought up at the meeting of
the Building Trades Council week ago
on the application of the new union for
admission OF its representatives. to that
body. At that time the matter was re-
ferred to the Plasterers' and Hold Carriers
Union, No. l, for adjustment.
AT the meeting of the council held last
night the delegates from the Hod- Carriers
Union Nc. l reported that their organiza-
tion would file a protest against the ad-
mission of the delegates from the new or
ganization. The delegates from the pIas-
terers' union, however, reported that that
body favored the admission of the dele
gates. Official reports from the respective
unions are expected at the next meeting
OF the council. On account of the con-
tinued absence of Frank p. Morgan. A
stonecutter, recording secretary of the
council, the office was declared vacant and
Milford Spohn was chosen to fill the
vacancy.

Entitled to Equal Rank.

The Secretary of the Navy decided yesterday,
in the case Of II. A. Field, officer OF the
service, that officers who We're legislated out OF
the Navy with the class Of 1859 at Annapolis and
aiterward given commissions should not he dis.
placed in their lineal standing through the fact
that other officers of lower lineal standing had
obtained high multiples at the Naval Academy
The decision arose through the transfer to the
line OF an engineer officer who had been less-
lated out Of the service by the act of 1882 and
afterwaTd restored 1t was eontended that in
his transfer to the line. he should be placed he
low instead OF above officers OF his class nj the
academy who had obtained higher class standing
The Secretary decided that the question OF class
standing eliminated through the fact that
the officer concerned had been discharged from
the service and out of the service at the
time OF his reappontment TO the Engineer Corps.

THE IMPURE DRUG CASES.
The Trial of the Accused Druggists
Set for Today.


In the Police Court today there will be
number of cases against various drug
gists OF the city. charged with the sale of
impure drugs. Il is claimed by the par
ties making the charges that the druggists
on whom the warrants have been served
have sold a number of common drugs that
have lacked the strength. quality, and
purity which is laid down for their manu-
facture In the United States Pharmaco-
pela. the standard set by all pure food and
drug laws for the making of drugs. Hoff-
mans anodyne and seidlitz powders, 1t is
charged, are frequently sold which have
not been made Of the required ingredients
In the case OF seidlitz powders, IL is said
that they have been allowed to grow stale
and unfit for use. Druggists are in the
habit of making these powders in large
quantities and they, 1t is charged, often
have them on hand for months. This
causes the powder to lose its strength and
the drugs contained therein become i'm
pure from long exposure 10 the air In the
case of Hoffman's anoiyne, which is
much used preparation, 1t is claimed that
1t ia not properly prepared, some of the
expensive ingredients being left out en-
tirely and others OF harmful nature being
substituted.

A Fugitive From Justice Arrested.

Inspector Boardman yesterday received tele
gram from the chief OF police Of Baltimore, mott
flying him OF the arrest of Clarence Bryant, who
is wanted in this CITY for murderous assault
upon his wife, Pearl Bryant, on April - 1888,
lie tried to kill her by shooting. After the as
sault he remained in the vicinity OF the house
for some time Shortly before midnight he
walked into The Times Office and asked to see
a reporter, to whom he told the story OF the
affair, and stated that he had killed the woman.
He was prevailed upon 10 accompany the re-
porter TO the house, and it found that Mrs.
Bryant was unhurt. 1t seems that she imagined
she saw the fash OF light along the barrel OF
the weapon before BRYANT had chance to shoot
and had erawled under the sofa on which they
had been seated, thereby escaping injury. al
though it was a long time before she could be
convinced that such was the case. Detective
kilmartin placed on the case, and Bryant
arrested, lie was held in 81 800 bond
for the action of the grand jury by the Police
Court judge, but before an Indictment could he
returned he jumped his bond and was not
heard OF until yesterday, when the Inspector was
notified Of his arrest in Baltimore.
