An Order by Justice barnard in tn,

Justice Barnard yesterday passed an or
der in the case of Margaret Jewell against
her husband, Albert Fl. Jewell for main
tenance, fixing the time when the parties
shall be allowed to visit their children.
who are at present inmates OF the Bruen
Home. The matter came up on the hear
ing of an order issued by the court some
days ago, requiring Elizabeth X. FIeck
superintendent of the institution, to show
cause why she should not be committed
for contempt for refusing Mrs. Jewell per
mission TO visit her children.
In her answer TO the order Mrs Fleck
stated that in her opinion Mrs. Jewell Is
not a proper person with whom her chill
dren should be allowed TO associate, and
that on her visits to the Bruen Home she
conducted herself in an improper manner
Tracy l. JeffOrds, who appeared for Mrs
Jewell, submitted testimony in the fOcm
of afidavits of persons who know Mrs.
Jewell, maintaining that she has always
been and is a proper person TO care for her
children.
After hearing the return made by Mrs.
FIeek and the answer by Mrs. Jewel, JUS
tice Barnard signed an order permitting
Mr.. and Mrs Jewell TO visit their children
on the second and fourth Fridays in each
month at such hours as may be designated
by the management of the Bruen Home.
1t is also ordered that neither the father
nor mother OF the children be permitted 20

GENERAL DUNONT'S TRIP
The Result Of a Recent Inspection
Of Steamboat Equipment
Many Evidences Found of Gross
Disregard of Regulations Requir-
ing Fire and Lifeboat Drills
The Burning of the Nutmeg State
to BE Thoroughly Investigated.

Gen. James A. Dumont, Inspector OF
Steamboats,, recently returned from long
journey made for the purpose of personally
inspecting the lifeboat and fire appliance
service He wished also to administer
personal shaking up in certain cases which
had been brought to his attention, where
it was evident that ship officers had been
guilty of gross neglect. I'VE have 120 in
spectors to look after 5000 steamboats,,
carrying 10000 licensed officers and en-
gineers," said he yesterday. The natural
result is that the officers are not kept
rigidly to the mark. While doing the best
we can from here, it is necessary occasion
ally to go over the ground and see that the
local inspectors are not neglecting their
duties"
General Dumont found many evidences
that the regulations requiring weekly fire
and lifeboat drill We're dsregarded. An
evidence OF lack OF skill and discipline on
the lake craft was Drought 10 light at De-
troit when an attempt to launch the boats
from a steamer Tesuited2in dropping one OF
them on the wharf, smashing it into kim
ding wood. AS it would cost $500 to re-
place it, the inspector general thought that
this was sufficient penalty for the ship
owners, and so let the captain off with a
warning That steamer is said to have
now a regular boat and fire drill in which
the crew is stimulated by a system of fines
and rewards; the first man at his position
after the call is sounded gets % cents,
while the last man is fined 80 cents.
when l was on the steamer bound from
San Francisco TO Portland" said General
Dumont, the captain who prided himself
on being a strict discipllnarian, offered to
put his men through the lifeboat drill, just
to show me how skillful they were, The call
was sounded without any warning and the
men jumped to their places like clock
work. The boats were swung off and
dropped into position beautifully The
captain proudly asked me how | liked IT,
1 stepped over and examined the boats and
then replied: The men have done their
work perfectly. The only neglect seems
to have been on the part OF the captain. In
three of the boats the drainage holes in the
bottom are open, and no plugs there to stop
them, and two other boats are short OF a
pair of oars Naturally the captain was
much chagrined. He had entrusted that
part of the business to the mate"
General Dumont investigated the case OF
eral months ago, il will be recalled, oc-

awkward. and bungied hopelessly in their
efforts to launch the boat.
General Dumount found what he regards
as a few eXtenuating circumstances, but
otherwise the case is practically as re
ported. It seems that the hole in the bot
tom of the lifeboat, for letting out rain
water, was open, and there was no plug
TO close it. Through this opening water
came into the boat, The amount is a mat
ter Of dispute Supervising Inspector VOL
colt at Detroit, who was called on for a
report, maintains there were only few
inches The awkwardness in getting the
boat out was increased by the fact that
the mate was in command, the captain
having been taken seriously i'll a short
time before. The mate, it was urged, was
not familiar with the detail of the life
boat drill.
The burning of the steamer Nutmeg
State in Long Island Sound, resulting in
the loss Of six lives, will be the subject
of thorough investigation. General Du-
mont says his men have all been busy at
New York preventing the overlooking Of
excursion steamers carrying spectators of
the yacht race, and this has prevented an
earlier enquiry.
The case of q Sound steamer is a little
different from others" said he. "All the
freight-carrying boats on the Sound carry
their own freight handlers as passengers.
These men are rough laborers and have
not the training or intelligence Of the
crew. They often number fifty or sixty,
and in case of a panic they are bad people
to have around. | am informed that the
captain and officers Of the Nutmeg State
behaved very well, but they were unable to
control the freight handlers l do not wish
to censure the captain without more
knowledge of the affair; but from what I
can learn l am not sure that he did not
display bad judgment. The fire broke out
around the smokestack in the forward part
Of the ship. The first thing the captain
did was to put on full steam and run for
shore, In spite OF the fact that other vessels
were in sight. Now, the immediate effect
of this, as l know from experience, was
to create strong draft, which would
fan the flames, and sweep them back over
the rest of the boat If, instead, he had
come to stop, and signaled to the other
vessels. he might have kept down the fire
until help came.
But this is a matter of judgment, and
we have no examination which will deter
mine whether a man has that in him which
is required in an emergency. An ignorant
and rough man may have it, and a we'll
educated and thoroughly skillful man may
lack it. One of the finest examinations
ever passed was by the captain of a Florida
River steamer years ago. One night his
vessel caught fire and he jumped overheard
without issuing an order or even wakening
his passengers. After his license had been
revoked his political friends came TO Wash
ington and tried TO have him reinstated;
told them that l could resign if necessary,
but that that man should never again hold
a Government license. And he never did. %

GEORGE FRAZIER RELEASED.

Judge Bradley Holds That Man
Cannot BE Jailed on Suspicion.
Justice Bradley yesterday issued an or
der releasing George Frazier from the Dis
trict workhOuse, where he was serving a
sentence of four months Imprisonment i'm
posed by Judge Kimball one of the Police
Court judges, on October II. Frazier was
arrested by Detectives Peck and Miller as
a suspicious person and was given hear
ing before Judge Kimball in the Police
Court, with the result already stated.
The matter came before Justice Bradley
on a petition for habeas corpus, the pris-
ouer being represented by Attorneys Chase,
Jones &, Frisby, and the District by District
Attorney Andrew q. Duvau and Assistant
Attorney Leftwich Sinclair. In passing
upon the matter, Justice Bradley criticised
the statute under which the prisoner was
found guilty. saying that it conferred upon
the Police Court judges a 'monstrous
power" and. 10 say the least of IL, the
law was ambiguous and uncertain in its
meaning He did not believe, he said that
such a law can be judiciously enforced and
would therefore be imperative The term
Suspicious person, he stated is liable TO
different meanings and interpretations.
Further. he stated, the offence is not known
TO the common law, and the statute which
makes being q suspicious person an OF
fence does not define the exact meaning Of
the words
What effect the ruling of Justice Bradley
win have upon the conduct of the local au-
tborities toward persons found in the same
circumstances as Frazier. and on the action
of the Police Court judges, is not known.
While Justice Bradley did not express an
ouinfon as TO the coHstJutionality OF the
statute creating the offence Of suspicious
person" his release Of Frazier shows
plainly that he is of the opinion that he
was unjustly imprisoned.
