Yog THE NEMsJUDGE.
Job barnard Sworn in as Justice

job Barnard Sworn in as Justice of
the District Supreme Court.
Mr. Job Barnard, who Saturday last was
appointed by President Mckinley as an as
sociate member of the Supreme Court Of
the District took the oath of Office yester-
day at a meeting of the members of the
court in general term. The oath was ad-
ministered by Chief Justice Edward F.
Bingham. The ceremony was witnessed
by a number of friends of the new Justice.
All the justices of the court were present
at an early hour, anticipating the arrival
OF Mr.. Barnard, but on account of mis-
rive at the City Hall until 1915 p. M,
when he took the oath Of office.
1t was learned that in the rush at the
Department of Justice yesterday morning
TO issue the commissions to the persons
nominated for office by the President on
Saturday the commission intended for
Gen. Thomas II. Anderson, who was named
as United States Attorney for the District
of Columbia, was sent to Mr.. Barnard, and
the latter's notification of his appointment
as Justice of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia found its way into
the hands of the former.
1t is not expected that General Anderson
will take the oath Of Office and enter upon
the discharge of his duties as United States
Attorney for the District OF Columbia until
tomorrow or Thursday.
Louis A. Dent who was nominated as
Register of Wills for the District of Co
lumbia, was not at the City Hall yesterday
and has not yet taken the oath of office.

THE CASE OF MR.. EAGAN.
Reports That He Is to Seek Rein
statement and Retire.

statement and Retire.
The presence in the city OF Charles P.
Eagan has given rise to the report that he
is here to seek restoration to active duty,
with the purpose of at once asking retire
ment in order that the President may pro-
mote Colonel Weston, now Acting Com
missary General. a brigadier and Commits
sary General of Subsistence
1t is an open secret among Army officials
that Mr.. Eagan wants to be restored to
duty. He is said to feel sorry for Colonel
Weston. who is really an innocent victim
of his sentence. for while acting as Com
missary General Colonel Weston neither
enjoys the rank nor the emoluments of the
Office, because Mr.. Eagan continues TO re-
ceiye both.
The story circulated yesterday afternoon
was that Mr.. Eagan, who is in very poor
health, and who is here TO dispose of the
furniture of the house he occupied before
his departure for Hawaii, which is now
his home. will make an effort to be re-
stored TO the active list, and falling in this
Will apply to be placed on the retired list
OF course such a request would it is
said, be granted, for il would give the
President the desired opportunity to pro-
mote Colonel Weston. It was also said
that Mr. Eagan had been assured that if
he would retire the difference in pay which
he would lose would be made good by
friends of Colonel Weston
In this connection il is also said that
Mr. Eagan is actively at work enlisting
the sympathy of Congressman with the
view of securing Congressional investi-
cation of the canned beef scandal.
Representative Hull OF Iowa. who was
Chairman of the Committee on Military
Affairs in the last Congress, said to a
Times reporter yesterday when questioned
about the matter, that he did not think
Congress would take any action in refer
erce to Mr.. Eagan's case or the canned
beef scandal. He said Mr.. Eagan could be
placed on the retired list without Con-
gressional action, but whether he would
make the application he had no means OF
knowing.
Representative William Alden Smith OF
Michigan, speaking of Mr.. Eagan's case,
said:
Il doubt IL Congress will do anything
about the matter, at least so far as any
Congressional investigation. is concerned
But it is not unlikely that the whole sub
ject will be more or less discussed by the
members as the opportunity may occur'

Council at the White House.
Judson w Lyons, Register of the Treas
ury, and H. p Cheatham, Recorder OF
Deeds, yesterday introduced to the Pre5i-
dent q committee appointed by the Afro
American Council. which met in Chicago in
August Jesse Lawson, Chairman of the
committee, in presenting to the President
a memorial from the council, spoke as fol-
lows
I'VE condemn, unsparingly, every act of
outrage or crime committed by our people
gainst anybody whomsoever, and we
pledge ourselves, as far as in our power
lies. to bring before the bar OF justice
every perpetrator of such acts, but we ask
that each person accused of crime be tried
by a due process of lava law that pro-
ceeds upon investigations which hears be-
fore it condemns, and renders Judgment
only after trial by competent tribunal
Such is not true of lynch law, which is ap-
parently on the increase in this country,
and for which there is no justifiable ex-
cuse. Members of our race are made the
special victims of mob violence, and often
for the most trivial cause, and upon the
slightest proyocation. 1t often turns oIt
that the innocent man is executed, viii e
the guilty wretch escapes The whole ma
the white people, and why they need go
outside OF the regular channels of justi ,e
to punish crime is what civilization can
not understand.
The council asks for the appointment.
under proper authorization, of an indus
trial commission to enquire into the indus
trial condition of the colored people of the
United States. 1t also petitions that a
member of our race be appointed en- the
board of commissioners to the Par-s Expo
sition and that in taking the next census
of the United States our people be given
full recognition, not only on the clerical
force and among the minor positions OF the
Office, but that representation be given US
on the board of supervisors and among the
special agents.

SOCIAL AND Personal.

The state dinner to be given by Presi-'
dent Mckinley this evening in honor of
Admiral Dewey is TO be on a much more
elaborate scale than originally planned At
first it was decided to issue fifty invita-
tions, but on Saturday it was stated at the
White House that the number had been
increased to seventy -four, and that the
table would be laid in the main corridor in
order to accommodate so large company
Owing to the constant arrival of State Gov
eTnors and other notabiiities from various
parts of the country to participate in the
Dewey celebration, it was anticipated by
the White House officials that the list
might be enlarged to include as many
specially distinguished eleventh hour
guests as the great white and gold corri-
dor can seat. On a number of past o2ca-
sions, when the Presidents hospitality mas
exceeded the limits of the Mansions

are as busy as the traditional bee, and in
addition to their always beautiful table
decorations of flowers, dainti.y shaded
tapers and electric lights, the general eff
