Major Sylvester, the chief Of police, has
forwarded to the District Commissioners
the findings in the case Of Lieut. John Ken
ney Of the eighth precinct, who was recent
ly tried for alleged misconduct. The lieu
tenant was charged by VIM. w. Smallwood

spectful manner toward the complainant

James L. Pugh. assistant attorney for the
District, declared the officer to be not
guilty. and in transmitting the case to the
Commissioners Major Sylvester made the
following recommendation:
In view of the fact that the trial officer
stated that it was not necessary for Lieut..
kenney to make a statement in his own
defense, and of the finding of not guilty,
without hearing any testimony for the de-
Tense. recommend that the charge be dis
missed without prejudice to the lieutenant"
This recommendation Commissioner Ross,
who has immediate supervision of the po-
lice department., has approved. and his as
sociates are expected to do likewise.

wellington Should Resign.
OF The Evening Star:

10 the Eultor OF Inc Evening star:
I noticed in one of the morning papers
that some of the republicans of Maryland,
and especially Of Cumberland, are trying to
get George L. Wellington to resign his seat
in the Senate, and in relation thereto wish
to say that the only honorable way for
self-respecting man under the circum-
stances is to resign the honor placed to
his credit by a republican legislature,
which has been succeeded by democratic
one and what his new friends will do
for him.
Said morning paper could not see what
satisfaction the republicans could get out
of such action. as 1t would probably end in
the election Of the stanch democrat, John
Walter Smith. to succeed Wellington Now,
on that point please hear me as a republic
can. To my mind no matter to what sphere
of life the democrats might turn for a sue
cessor to Wellington they could make no
mistake, for no matter how lowly or hum

All combustible waste and refuse col
lected by the District through Mr. r. v.
Rusk, the contractor having charge Of the
work, is burned at the crematory at the
foot Of South Capitol street. This waste
and refuse, before being athrown into the
crematory, is examined there by Mr.. Rusk's
men for two reasons First, to prevent
anything of value being destroyed, and
second. to prevent being cast into the fire
anything of a dangerous character. The
wisdom Of this examination, so far as It
relates to the second reason therefor was
demonstrated yesterday afternoon, when
the men examining the matter discovered
in pile of waste paper two loaded 45-
caliber rife cartridges.
These cartridges carry a ball containing
500 grains of lead and seventy grains Of
powder, the velocity of the ball when fired
from rifle being 1,179 feet second, and
its penetrating power being sufficient to
send 1T through eighteen seven-eighths-
inch pine boards. The waste in which the
cartridges We're found was collected from
a residence in the northwest section of the
city, and Is supposed to have been thrown
into 1t by some one who was unaware of
the manner in which such waste is de-
stroyed.
