STORY OF TWO CHICKENS.
Brought Into Court as Sacrifice on
Altar of Justice.

Brought Into Court Sacrifice ON
Altar of Justice.
While lawyers and officials were awaiting
the news from the Court of Appeals in the
murder cases yesterday afternoon the fate
of two chickens was a matter of interest in
local court. These fowls were intended
for decapitation in Judge Kimballs pres
ence in order that Cinnamon might be
sworn on their heads. Such an oath, it
was contended. would be more binding on
the celestial witnesses than the usual form
of swearing them, although they profess to
be Christians.
Involved in the case of Lee Sing, charged
with violating the gambling laws at 33S
Pennsylvania avenue, are two factions of
laundrymen and merchants, and the stories
of Chinese highbinders are likely to be re-
newed.
Attorney Poulton was interested in the
prosecution, the raid having been made be-
cause of information furnished by his eli
ents. Fearing the absence of chicken heads
might jeopardize the governments case, his
clients We're notified to have two real live
fowls on hand. One of them went to mar
ket early in the morning, bought two small
broilers which were too young to crow and
appeared in court with them in a bag. 1t
was intended that the fowls should be
slowly put to death in presence of the court
and witnesses. This, it was intended, should
serve as a warning that untruthful testi-
mony might result in the dropping of the
head OF the untruthful witness.
The use Of the chickens rendered I'M
necessary, however, when Attorney Moul-
ton demanded a jury trial for his client,
and there was disappointed crowd of
Chinaman, to say nothing of the crowd of
curious Onlookers. When this action had
been taken the celestals slowly passed be-
yond the portals of the temple of justice
The bearer of the chickens was among the
last to leave
Tied up in a paper bag for so long a
time had not been the most comfort a BILE
experience for the wee fowls. and, in order
to quench their thirst. probably, they got
out of the bag and made a break for the
Lawyers Club across the street. Then an
exciting but fruitless chase began.
Finally the Chinaman gave up in disgust
and went away, telling Detective Weldon
whom he met on the street, that he might
have the chickens. colored man was paid
to crawl under the porch in front of the
club, and he soon captured the fugitive
fowls. and they We're sent to the officer
| house to be given place with other pets,
at an expense that would have put several
chickens from the market on his Premises
Thus the heads that We're to have fallen
under the knife in court apparently had the
prospect of growing up with the country;
but their new owner soon changed his mind
and the broilers were served on toast for
breakfast this morning

ADDITIONS TO POLICE FORCE.
Superintendent Arranging for In
provement of the Service.

Sunerintendent Arranging for Inn
provement of the Service.
Major Sylvester has already commenced
to make effective the provisions of the ap-
preparation bill which provides for several
additions to the service. The changes con-
templated by the superintendent will be
made about the beginning of the fiscal
year.
AS published In The Star few Gays ago,
there will be fifteen appointments made OF
priyates on the force which will cause as
many promotions from the lower to the
higher class. One sergeant, two detec-
lives and six additional mounted men are
to be put in the service. 1t is Major Syl-
westerns intention to select the men VINO are
best fitted to fill these positions.
Because of the increase to be made re-
quests are already reaching headquarters
for additional men In some sections. Most
of these requests come from the county.
The Superintendent finds that the Mary
land resorts both in Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties are likely to call
for the detail of officers on the border Sun
DAYS, at least, and perhaps during the en-
the Long bridge will also draw from the
increase, and The Stars suggestion that
an officer be detailed at the Emergency
Hospital for work in connection with I'M
known persons who reach there, as well
as to render prompt police work IN cases
doubtless be adopted. There will be no in
crease in the bicycle service.
Another step toward the improvement OF
the service has been taken in the way OF
providing rubber tires for the patrol wagons
and ambulances. This has been rendered
and wounded people for whom the vehicles
are used as conveyanceS.

VISUAL DEFECT A BAR.
Persons 80 Afflicted Not Eligible as
Firemen.

J. A. Droney recently applied for appoint
ment as a member of the District fire de-
partment, but was rejected by the exam
lining board of surgeons because of an al
legged defect in one eye. Mr.. e. Welsh
Ashford of 141O street became interested
in the man and inquired of the Commits
soners if visual defect that may be cor
rected by the proper glasses is bar to the
acceptance of men for the department. -
The matter was referred by the Commits
sioners to the board of police and fire sur
geons, and the secretary of the board, DR..
Clifton Mayfield, has reported that the
board considers visual defects as insuper-
able objections to service in the fire depart
ment The wearing of glasses would, says
DR.. Mayfield, mask, not cure, the disability,
as glasses would almost certainly be lost or
be dimmed by smoke and water in time of
fire. In the case of defect in only one
eye there would, in his opinion, always exist
the risk of injury to the normal one and
consequent permanent disability for duty
fireman.
The report of the board of surgeons has
been approved by the Commissioners

Inquiry by Congress.


The events resulting from the insurrec-
ton did not escape the attention of Con-
gress That body on July 10. 1913, passed
resolution calling upon the President for
information in regard to the existence of
civil government in New Mexico and Call
fornia, their form and character, by whom
instituted and by what authority and how
they We're maintained and supported; also
whether any persons had been tried and
condemned for treason against the United
States in New Mexico. President Polk
replied to said resolution in a message
dated July q. 1913. in which he discussed
the character of military government, TAX
ing the broad position that such a govern
ment may exercise 1.-The fullest rights of
sovereignty" thereby explaining the action
of the military authorities in suppressing
the instructions.
The accompanying records show that a
similar course of action was followed in
suppressing the instruction in California
in 1913 and re-establishing the sovereignty
of the United States.
