ALLEGED ROBBERY.
James A. Stewart Prefers Charge
Against Charles Evans.

Charles alias Buck Evans, young
man whose home is at No. 1916 D street
northwest, was arrested last night by De-
tectives Peck and Miller and locked up on
a charge of bringing stolen property into
the District The charge was preferred
against him by James A. Stewart, the In
terror Department clerk who complained
against ex-PoHceman Cox and Eta VIII
hams for alleged conspiracy to rob him.
Stewart charges that Evans robbed him
of diamond pin in Atlantic City Just be-
fore Stewards experience at the house of
Cox and the Williams woman he spent a
couple of days at the seashore. His COM
panion on the occasion Of that visit was a
woman known as Lou Worthington, " who
keeps an alleged disreputable resort on
ID street. The detectives say that Evans
is her lawful husband. 1t is alleged he fol-
lowed Stewart and his (EvansO wife to At
lantic City and separated them and Stew
art returned alone. 1t was after his re-
turn from Atlantic City that Stewart met
the Williams woman and Policeman Cox
and remained at their house while the po-
lice We're searching for him at the request
of his daughter.
The diamond pin in question was found
In pawnshop, where Evans had pawned
1t for $50. Evans admits that he pawned
the pin, and claims that he owns it. The
case will probably be heard in the Police
Court tomorrow.

Topic of Lecture to BE Delivered by
Mr.. A. j. Henry.
The first of the series of technical lectures
offered by the National Geographic So
ciety for the winter course will be given to-
night in the large hall of the Columbian
University, corner of 10Th and H streets,
by Mr.. A. ]. Henry, chief Of the division Of
records Of the United States weather bu-
reau. This course differs from the So
called popular series, opened by Mr.. John
w Foster last week, in that 1t is planned
primarily for men actively engaged in geo.
graphic work, the subjects being somewhat
specialized in nature and their manner of
treatment designed for the scientific ex-
pert. A study of the variations of Lake
Levels and Atmospheric Precipitation" the
subject of Mr.. Henrys lecture, is an in
terestiEg problem at the present time. The
near completion of the Chicago drainage
canal and the projection of various indus
trial enterprises, which, when completed,
will divert large quantities of water from
present channels, have developed several
important physical problems that engineers
and meteoroiogists are seeking to solve
The frequent oscillations in the surface
level of the great lakes is another interest
ing phenomenon not yet definitely marked
Admission to the lecture, which begins at
S:15 p m, is limited to members of the So
ciety.

Types of Government Discussed.
DR.. Theodore P. Ion IN the course of his
lecture on international law last night be-
fore the students of the National Univer
sity Law School, and referring to homo
geneous and heterogeneous states, said that
the United States of America were of the
first type, because the various nationalities
here were assimiated in the course of time
and gradually formed one distinct Amer
lean nationality. Therefore, he said, the
appellation of COMMUNICATIONS and Irish
Americans is pure soleclsm. A person
who would call himself on the continent
Franco-German or a GermanO-Italian
would simply provoke the ridcule Of the
continental people, or he would be consid-
cred person of doubtful allegiance. Speak
ing Of semi-sovereign states. he included
the South African republic among them. He
said the only limitation is in the last treaty
of the convention of 1884, by which Eng
land reserves to herself the right to veto
any treaty concluded by the Transvaa
with foreign powers, and makes of it a
semi-soVereign state, notwithstanding the
omission of the word suZerainty in the
treaty.

DRUGGISTS APPEAL.
Discussion of Malt Extracts as an In
tOxicant.


The local druggists were given a hear
ing at 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon by the
District Commissioners upon the subject of
malt extracts. AS heretofore stated in The
Star, the Commissioners few days ago
informed the president of the District Phar-
maceutical Association that according to a
decision of the Police Court druggists can
not sell malt extracts, wines, etc, except
upon the prescription of a reputable physi-
can. A test case is now before the Court
of Appeals, and the Commissioners were
asked to stop further prosecutions until
a decision has been rendered by that trt-
bunal.
Mr.. w. s. Thompson at the hearing yes
terday explained the different preparations
used in the manufacture of malt extracts,
stating that 1t would be impossible for a
man to drink enough of them to become
intoxicated. Mr.. A A. Lipscomb represent
ing the Pharmaceutical Association, pro-
tested against further prosecutions of the
druggists, especially during the tendency
of the test case before the Court of APP
peals He explained that malt extracts are
not sold as beverages, but as medicines,
and he asserted that there is scarcely a
connection or tincture sold by the pharma-
cists which does not contain as much or
more cohol as the malt extract.
Speaking for the Commissioners, Mr..
Wight stated that it is by no means the
wish or intention to impose unnecessary
hardship upon the druggists, and he ex-
planned that the cases now pending in the
courts were brought about by private par
ties and not by the Commissioners. Mr..
Lipscomb said he was aware that the Com
missioners are willing to give the druggists
their rights, but as the cases in question
were being prosecuted in the name Of the
municipal authorities he asked that prose-
cutions be discontinued until the case now
before the Court of Appeals shall have been
decided
Mr. TirI+

of it as quickly as possible

order of Hibernfans Sympathfxes
With the Beers.

The District Of Columbia board of the
A. o. H., at a meeting held the Sth in
slant, adopted resolutions condemnng the
course of England In South Africa. The
resolutions recite that we. the members
of the District board of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians of the District Of Columbia,
in convention assembled, solemnly protest
against the war precipitated by England
upon the Beers: that we denounce 1t to be
the capital political crime against the civil
ization and Christianity Of these closing
years of the nineteenth century; that we
call upon our countrymen everywhere
throughout this Union to give expression
to their Indignation that England may
know that pubic opinion of America is
against her and with the South African re-
public.
Further: That we send hearty greeting
to Paul Kruger, and the Dutch patriots,
and invoke the blessing of God upon their
efforts in defense of their native land.
THAT the attitude of Great Britain in
this affair makes clear her hostility to re-
publics, and makes 1t evident that her pre-
tended friendship for this nation was but
intended to secure our silence While she
robbed the Dutch, and gives additional
force to the reasons why there should be
no political alliance in form or In substance
between this country and Great Britain"
