COGHLAN'S LlVELY TONGUE
His Remarks the Basis Of a Protest BY
the German Government.
PREFERRED BY THE AMBASSADOR
Secretary Hay Makes a Satls-
factory Statement.
COGHLAN'S SONG TERMED TOO NASTY

Washington, April 2i.-The German
government has entered formal pro.
test against the language used by
Capt, Coghlan OF the Raleigh, at thu
Union League Club banquet in New
York last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secre.
tary Hay through the German Am.
bassador, Herr Won Hollenben.
Secretary of State Hay replied that
tho language appeared to have heen
used at a dinner in club, and 50
could not be regarded as an Official or
public utterance in the sense that
would warrant the State Department
in acting. However, the Navy Depart.
mont was fully competent to take such
action as the case seemed to require
With this statement the German Ann
bassador was content, for the time at
least, and will doubtless await reason.

partment.
There are semi official intimations
that the German Ambassador will not
so much concern himself with the
course of Capt Coghlan as with the
course Of the United States in dealing
with Coghan. Tho German Ambassa.
dor stated today that the poem reciled
by Capt. Coghlan was "too nasty to be
noticed.
coGHIAN MAY BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
1t is said that Capt. Coghlan's casa
is not similar to that of the Spanish
Captain Conchas, whose utterances in.
Madrid lust before the war, in severe
criticism of the United States, caused
the State Department to lodge formal
protest through United States Minister
Hannis Taylor. Capt. 'Conchas' utter

cal Society, and we're public in the full
sense of the term. Secretary Hay, in
his reply to tho German Ambassador,
has undoubtedly taken note Of the dit.
ference between the cases on this par
ticular point, and it may he u very i'm.
portant difference fer Capt. Coghlaa.
The State Department position is
that club is simply the homo Of a
number of gentlemen, and so cannot be

But this view does not relieve Cart

brother officers, for conduct which Is
alleged to he detrimental to tho navy
Though relieved from accountability

JocIs HELD FOR COURT
Charged with Obtaining Money Under
False Pretences.

Antanas A. Jocis Of Philadelphia,
who was arrested on Saturday after
noon by Officers Hutton and Palmer on
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenccs, was arraigned in tho
city court on Monday. John Putzkus
of this city, the chief prosecuting wit.
ness, said he paid Joc;s Sl,3l7 for the
house No. POI Stroud street, after
which the deed was delivered and Jocis
told him the house was clear. He had
told Putzkus that there was Il mortgage
of 81, 600 against the house, but after
the final money had been paid said the
mortgage had been satisfied. Witness
said he paid the money on instalments,
aud when the deal was about closed
Jocis destroyed the receipts he had
given Putzkus. He also alleged that
Jocis had told him to say nothing to
William j. Fisher, a local real estate
agent, about tho matter.
Mr.. Fisher, upon taking the stand,
said Clark Merchant owned the prop
erty, and he tFisherl was the agent.
Joois had asked Mr.. Fisher the price
of the house and Mr.. Fisher told him
it could be bought for 81, $50, less a
mortgage of $1,000, which was to re-
main. Jocis, accordingly, paid the
$3.50 and Fisher had the deed made out
to Putzkus. Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr.,
| holds the mortgage for widow woman
and, according to Mr.. Fisher, Jocis
went to Mr. Carpenter and paid the
interest. Mr.. Fisher sold the house
with the understanding that the mort,
gage was to remain.
John X. Bradford said he made ar
investigation on Saturday and founc
that the mortgage had not been paic
and no offer had been made to pay it.
Jocis was also accused of obtaining
money under false pretenccs from
Agnes Golunnibowski on March 2Sth
and on September 2ith last, taking
SG2. 40 from n man at No. SIG Anchor
age street, to DO sent to Russia. The
defendant said he could prove that h
had sent the money to Russia. HI
waived hearing in each case and wa
held in $1,000 for the upper court
According to an deliberately illus

movement.
Mr.. Hazewood gave some statistics,
as showing what the association has
done on some lines. In the railroad
department, started in 1872, are about
5000, 900 worth of buildings, and last
year the railroad corporations gave
100000 to the work, showing that
they believe in it, George Gould has
had two of the international committee
go over his railroad to decide on places
where associations can be best estab-
lished. In colleges, the work began in
1877 and 10000 students are in the
college associations. Since that time,
40, 900 students have given their hearts
to Christ; 1000 have entered the
ministry; 1000 have decided to take
up foreign mission work, of which
1900 are in the field.
He held that an energetic association
demonstrated the fact that the church
was doing its duty; for every controll-
| ing force in the association must be a
| church member. 1t is economical for
churches to join in this interdenomi-
national work which establishes a
| gymnasium and makes attractive APP
pointments for young men.
He urged the young men of Whining
ton to note what the association has
done throughout the world and not to
be discouraged. He paid fine tribute
to President Gawthrop and to.theliate
Joseph Ryle. y a 1si. ,fto C1Nr

Judge Ball handed down his decision
in the case against DR.. Thomas j.
Goslin, charged with disorderIy con-
duct at his office, Eighth and Shipley
streets, the point being as to what
constitutes q public place in the mean
ing Of the ordinance.
He said in such case it is neces-
sary for the city to prove the disorderly
conduct and also to prove that it takes
place in a public place. What might
be q public place in ono locality, he
explained, after quoting the definition
given in d law encyclopaedia, might
not be considered public place in
another locality. The judge held DR..
Guslin's Office to be public place and
imposed fine of s., the defendant 10

An Effective Kick.

Hon. p. S. Pugh, the we'll known
attorney from Crowley, was in La
fayette Thursday on legal business.
Mr.. Pugh has earned the reputation
of being a very vigorous kicker.
When things don't go as he believes
they ought to go, he invariably reg
listers a strenuous protest. He is
not of that kind of men who plac-
idly submit to an lnjus
tice. As a member of the last con-
stitutional convention he impressed
his colleagues with the fact that he
is an industrious worker and an
earnest kicker. Some years ago the
writer reported a meeting Of the
town. Under the law which then
existed that body fixed the assess
ments on railroads. 1t is needless
to add that majority of the board
were extremely friendly to the rail
road companies as the records
show. 1t was proposed to assess
the Louisiana Western road at
SO, 500 per mile. Mr.. Pugh, who
represented the parish of Acadia,
insisted that $4,000 a mile would
be fair assessment, but his plea
for an equitable taxation, though
supported by facts and figures,
awaited not and the road was as
sessed at 5000. Since then.
through the efforts of Mr.. Pugh
and other gentlemen, the law has
been changed and the authority to
assess railroads has been transferred
to another board. And now, the
Louisiana Western road. instead Of
being assessed $1,000 as Mr.. Pugh
wanted, is assessed $4,000.
These results show that Mr.. Pugh
was right and that his kick was
founded upon the principle that
wealth should bear it's share of the,
burden Of taxation.
