BROOKE MAcKALL ON TRIAL.
The Former Plea Changed and
Jury Demanded.


Jury Demanded.
The trial of Brooke Mackall, who is
charged with destroying private property
in the shape of sign placed on a lot at
the southwest corner of New York Avenue
and Fourteenth Street northwest, by Da-
wilson & Davidson, real estate agents. was
begun in the Police Court yesterday after
noon. d. W. Baker. counsel for the de-
fence. moved that a plea Of guilty be sub
stituted in place of the plea of not guilty.
previously entered, and the case against
his client be quashed. The motion was
overruled Mr.. Baker noted an exception
and signified his intention of taking the
case to the Court of Appeals.
A jury trial was then demanded and the
plea of not guilty Te-enteTed. John C.
Davidson, of the real estate firm of David
son & Davidson, testified that through an
order of Mr.. Mackal the signs advertising
for sale the property at the southwest cor
ner of New York Avenue and Fourteenth
Street had been destroyed. and when re-
placed had again been rendered yalueless
by the use of paint. Mr.. Mackall, the de-
fendant. said that the property had been in
his possession for forty-five years. and that
the parties represented by Davidson & Da-
wilson had no right to place a sign upon it.
He admitted that there had been some liti-
cation over the property, but stated that
there was none at the present time. To a
question asked by Prosecuting Attorney
Pugh as to whether the witness had not
given orders to have the signs on the prop
erty painted over. thus rendering them
useless, an objection was entered by the
defence upon the ground that the witness
had the right to refuse to answer any
question that would in any way incrim
mate him. Mr.. Pugh appealed to the court
to force the witness to answer the ques-
tion. Judge Kimball sustained Mr. Pugh 5
demand and called upon the witness 10
answer the question. Mackall refused. The
court took exception TO the tone of voice
used by the witness and severely repri-
manded him. Mr.. Pugh said that the ques-
tion was not of enough importance to JUS
tify the time taken up, and with the per
mission of the court il was withdrawn.
Witnesses were introduced to prove the
ownership of the property in question, and
after cross examination by the prosecu-
ton the case was continued until 10 30
o'clock this morning. A greater part OF
the session today will be occupied with the
case

BOSTON. Oct. 31.-The Republican Club
Of Massachusetts held one Of the most en-
thuziastic and largely attended meetings
in its history tonight The keynote was
support OF President Mckinley in his
course in the Philippines, and endorse
nent Of his candidacy for a second term.
The principal speeches were BY Governor
Roosevelt Of New York and Senator
Lodge. and the former received a reception
thar was remarkable for its feryor and
unusual in its nature. President i. B.
Hayes. Of the club. presided. and after
speaking briefly, introduced in order Gov
ernor Wolcott. Murray Crane Republican
candidate for Governor. and Speaker Bates,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. After
The latter had finished Governor Roosevelt
was introduced. He said. in part:
we have got 10 put down the insurrac-
tio1 lr the Philippines. We cannot do any
thiuug else If we are men. and then we wiI
take some man. who viii do what Gen.
Leonard Wood has done iu Santiago. and
put him ia the Philippines and see that he
follows General Woods example. Today
Santiago Is enjoying such prosperity as
she has not had for twenty five years and
has the best chance she has ever had, but
she would not have had it il We had kept
1he peace eighteen months ago. There are
slficultias ahead Of US in the Philippines.
z took Us two years 10 end our last war
Rlth the Apaches. but we did not abandon
arizona We cannot pay heed 10 self-sesk-
M demagogues. who would have rs ahan-
son our task in the Philippines for a peace
that would mean disgrace and shame"
President Hayes introduced Senator
Lodge as the leading legislator OF the
country today.
Senator Lodge spoke in part as follows:

Islands and have always believed in that
policy TEey should be retained IS q pos
session 0f the United States not Incor-
p0rated in our body polite. nor brought

first and immediate duty 10 which an
others are subordinate is TO push this war

command 10 a prompt and successful con
clusion and j therefore. shall sustain
with my utmost effort the Administration
Of President Mckinley. which is charged
with that duty In all measures for the ac-
cosnplishments Of ifs difficult task.
Let me now give. very briefly. my rea-
sons for this position. They are OF two

RAIN KILLS THE SPORT.

Flour. old shoes, and the like were ban
ished last night from the celebration OF
An Halloween" There was a dismal rain
throughout the day and night, which dis
mayed the small boy and forced indoor
festivities IN honor OF the event. Alto
gether, il was typical night for ghosts
goblins, and devils to stalk abroad.
Within doors, however. the celebration Of
"Au Halloween was not forgotten. A
thousand and one methods both ancient
and modern. were invoked by the youthful
enthusiasts 10 make amends for the in
reference of the elements with their plans.
The time -hoDored custom Of bobbfng ap-
pies played prominent part. and many a
maiden cast a fimid glance over her shouI-
der as she slowly descended the cellar stair
way. candle and mirror in hand. There
were parties galore. and the enjoyment Of
the dance was by 10 means forgotten.
On the streets q dismal scene was pre-
scented. The rain came down steadily most
OF the night and but few people ven
tured out. Here and there a policeman pa
trolled his beat. while other night workers
occasionally passed along the deserted
streets After all, the night slipped quietly
hy, and the police found very little TO do.
