The plaintiff in Russell ". Montague, who
alleges that the defendant, by certain
writings, maliciously and knowingly at
tempted to defame his good name and
reputation. The plaintiff is represented by
Attorneys A. A. Lipscomb and Charles H.
Turner.
The plaintiff Russell W. Montague,
states that for long time prior to the
happening of the grievance of which he
complains. he. with George P. Montague,
was a stockholder in the Moore Printing
Typewriter Company which has an Office
located in this city. lie also states that
he was for long time president of that
company and that George P. Montague was
the vice president and treasurer, and that

affairs of the corporation.
Russell w. Montague continuing, says
that on July /, 1898, the defendant, Will

cially in the exercise of his rights and
privileges as President of the Moore Print

THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Matters of Major and Minor Import
ance Discussed at the Meeting.

The special committee appointed some
time ago by the Central Labor Union to
investigate the cause of the accident in
which several of the children of the MEM
bers were injured in the civic parade
during the Peace Jubilee festivities, re-
ported last night to the union. The re-
port was complete, and was adopted unan-
imously by that organization According
to the report the Central Labor Union will
pay the expense of medical attendance to
the children injured except the little
daughter of Mr.. Mccormick. the Peace
Jubilee executive committee having un-
dertaken to defray this expense.
The chairman of the joint committee on
the Labor Day excursion reported that 1t
had been decided to engage the services
of two extra boats on that day, as they
were already assured of a large attend
ance.
A communication was received from the
District Commissioners acknowledging the
receipt of the protest filed by the union
in behalf of the cabmen and hackmen rel
ative to the alleged discrimination in favor
of the Pennsylvania and Wilmington Cab
Company.
letter was also received from Acting
Commissioner Rathbone of the Geological
Park In relation to the alleged violation
of the eight-hour law by the Government

serted her and his children.
When she was served with a copy of the
bill of complaint made by her husband she
applied to the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict for almony. and the court ordered
her husband should pay her S25 monthly.
This amount was later increased TO $50
per month. She states that her husband
refused to obey the order of the court and
that on May last an order was issued
commanding him to show cause why he
should not be held for contempt. Her hus-
band thereupon came into court and paid
the amount $50, and then asked that his
suit be dismissed This order Mrs. Wolfe's
attorneys moved be set aside, because
there was still due alimouy and counsel

DIPLOMAS FOR POLICEMEN.
A Suggestion Prompted by the shoot
ing of Dogs Discussion.

ing of Dogs Discussion.
The recent controversy over the question
of the right of policemen to kin rabid dogs,
growing out of the imposition of fine on
Policeman Johnson for shooting a canine,
seems destined to continue, al least for the
present Major Sylvester, Judge Kimball.
the District Commissioners, and the At
torney for the District have officially ex-
pressed themselves in various ways and at
different times detailing their views in the
matter, and many citizens have rushed to
their desks and written communications to
the press.
The controversy has now been further
prolonged by communication TO the Dis
trict Commissioners from one A. NJ. Ray
mond, wherein he signed himself "Secre-
tara of the NJ. L. T. Society for the Pre-
vention of Impositions." The letter is
written on the official paper of a publica-
ton styled the Eye-opener." having an
Office at 706 Seventeenth Street northeast.
The correspondent suggested that police
men be granted diplomas by the District
poundmaster certifying that they have
skill enough TO despatch mad dogs in a
humane manner, and said in part as fol-
lows in his letter:
Regarding the fine imposed upon a policeman
by Judge Kimball, permit me 10 say that there
is little doubt in the minds Of fair minded citi-
zens that he did the policeman a grave injus-
ticc and entailed upon this community train
of evils that is beyond all calculation. II this
Is an indication OF the courts line Of action
in the future we would suggest that policemen be
sent 10 Poundmaster Einstein TO take lessons
and that he be allowed TO issue diplomas so that
policemen viii have at least the same legal right
to kili dogs that charity frauds and physicians
have 10 kill of the poor, and get well paid
for il instead Of being fined. Man can protect
himself from his fellows even TO the extent OF
taking life to do so. but 10 protect ones self
against vicious dogs or the imposition OF a fine
u is neeessary TO send for lhe poundmaster.

VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA.
A Rival of the Salvation Army to lie.
gin Operations Here.

Since the difficulty arose between Bal
lington Booth. at that time the head of the
Salvation Army in this country, and his
venerable father in England, resulting in
the formation of the rival organization
known as the Volunteers of America. the
latter organization has been gaining
strength and extending its work TO all
parts of the country, and is now to begin
operations in this city.
The officers who form the advance guard
of the volunteers are Major Fred Gardner,
late private secretary to Ballington Booth,
Captain and Mrs. Haslam, and Lieutenants
McBee, Wolf and Murray The headquar-
tiers are to be at Baum's Hall, in East
Capitol Street, with a training fort which
will be maintained near the same locality
The territory which has been assigned to
this detachment for evangelization en-
braces besides the District of Columbia,
Virginia and North and South Carolina.
The work of the Volunteers of America
is very similar TO that of the Salvation
Army. and although the first tinge of bit
terness between the two organizations has
worn off there still remains quite a lively
rivalry, and evangelical work in the Dis
trict will doubtless receive a new impetus
through the establishment of the vOlun-
teers in the city. The first meeting will
be held tonight in Baum's Hall

THE USE OF A FIRM NAME.
Chester A. Snow Brings Suit Agninst
Edward G. Singers.

Chester A. Snow yesterday filed a peti
tion in equity against Edward G. siggers,
his former partner in business. asking that
the latter be restrained from using the old
firm name In his conduct of the business.
It is stated in the complaint that the pc
titioner and the defendant entered into CO.
partnership as patent attorneys in 1884
and continued as such until May / last.
That at the first the defendant Siggers
owned one-tenth share in the business and
at the time Of the dissolution Of partner
ship he owned one-third. 1t is stated that
the defendant purchased the Inventive
Age" owned by the firm, and that he ad-
vertised himself as the successor to c. A.
Snow G. Co, and that he also solicited the
patronage of old clients of the firm through
the mails, which was in violation of the
agreement of dissolution. 1t is also said
that at the time the partnership ceased
there was some business not yet completed
which the defendant agreed to finish, but
this he declined to do. The petition of
Snow therefore asks that the defendant
Sggers be enioined from soliciting the
patronage of clients of the old firm through
the mails and to cease advertising as the
successor to the firm OF C. A. Snow & Co,
and also for a mandatory order to compel
him to perform the acts provided for in
the agreement of dissolution. The petit
toner is represented by r. Ross Perry &

THE WHARF PROPERTY.
The Commissioners Write Letter
to the Attorney General.

to the Attorney General.
A lengthy letter was mailed to Attor-
ney General Griggs by the District Com
mlssioners yesterday requesting the ear
liest possible adjustment of the various
questions involved in the recent decis-
ion of the United States Supreme Court
in the Potomac Flats cases, which decis-
ion vested the title TO Potomac River wharf
property in the United States. The letter
reads in part as follows:
The act of Congress of March 3. 1899, gives
to the Commissioners certain duties TO perform
in connection with these wharveS, and the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, rendered on May
last that the title TO the is in the United
States, led the Commissioners, acting on the
advice Of their Attorney, to serve notice on the
occupants of the wharyes that they dhe Com
missioncrs) would hereafter take possession, that
rents should be paid as in former years, but
should be paid hereafter 10 the Collector of
Taxes Of the District of Columbia when the sub
iect of rentals and rules and regulations govern
ing the wharves should have been adjusted. II
now appears that il would have been better
perhaps to have waited until the mandate had
been handed down from the Supreme Court and
the United States had taken actual possession of
the whaTves and turned them over to the Com
missioncFs in regular form. The action taken
by the Commissioners appears to have somewhat
embarrassed the actual occupants OF the wharves,
and affects not only the matter Of rentals but
that Of insurance on property there. and that

having been made already for permits 10 erect

HERMAN w. DoNATH ARRESTED
Charged With False Prctcnces and
Released on Bonds


Herman w Donath, route agent for
the Washington Post, was arrested last
night by Detectives Weldon and Horne
on n warrant sworn cut by William H.
Pritchett, OF 419 G Street northwest, who
charges that Donath obtained from
Pritchett the sum of s25 by representing
that he was the manager of the Hotel
Rudolph at Atlantic City, and further
states that the man is not employed at
the hotel. Donath was later released on
$500 bond for his appearance in court this
morning
Donath claims that he is not guilty of
the charge against him. He states that
he entered into an agreement with Pritch-
ett, whereby the latter was to assume
charge of his newspaper route for
limited time. This was to be during the
absence of Donath from the city while
filling a position at a hotel in Atlantic
City. The agreement required that Pritch-
EFT deposit sum of money with Donath
as a guarantee of good faith. Later. ac-
cording to the statement of Donath,
Pritchett informed him that he did not
care to keep his agreement and desired to
abrogate the contract. This did not meet
with the approval of Donath as he claimed
to have gone TO considerable trouble in
perfecting the arrangements for turning
over the management of his route. He bad
in his possession the guarantee of Pritchett
and retained it during correspondence
concerning the matter. 1t was his inten-
tion, he claims, to return the entire guar
antee despite the fact that Pritchett ad-
mitted his breach of contract and offered
| an indemnity for it.
I Donath further claims that he wrote
Pritchett saying that he did not want any
| part of the money and would return il all
yesterday. He failed to do so because he
did not see Pritchett, and he claims that
the latter then procured a warrant for
his arrest. charging him with false pre-
tences The case will probably be heard
| in court this morning.

Bryant in this city he was considerate and
