FIGHT OVER A GIRL.
A Trio of Young Ven Refuse to Pros
ecute One Another.

As a sequel to the fight between Virgil
Thommason, JOSEPH Lewis, and William
Eicholz. in front of $50 Eighth Street
northeast, late Tuesday night, Sergeant
Hartigan and Policeman Rotehford. of the
Ninth precinct. appeared in the Police
Court as the complainants against this
trio of young men. The charge preferred
was disorderly conduct, and the defendants,
through their attorney. Albert Sellers,
asked for a continuance. which was granted
oy Judge Mills until August 20. The only
witness to the ARRAY. excepting the prin-
cipals, is said 20 be Emma LeOnberger.
She was present in court this morning.
The filing of the charge of disorderly
conduct against the young men resulted
from their refusal to prosecute each other
for assault.
The trouble 1t appears, resulted from
an alleged objection made by Thommason
TO the attention Eicholz was paying Miss
Leonberger. Eicholz and Lewis were with
the young woman Tuesday night in Eighth
Street when they met Thommason A
quarrel followed sad blows were struck
Eicholz suffered a black eye and Thomma-
son was cut on the head. Lewis is not
known TO have participated in the fight
At all events he came off unhurt.
When the police heard Of the affair they
sought TO arrest the young men. but we're
confronted with refussls from Thomma-
son and Eicholz TO prosecute each other
The result was that the warrants were
issued charging disorderly conduct

DR.. HEWITT TEE CORONER.
The Commissioners Appoint sue
cess0r to DIR. Carr.


The Coroner problem was settled yes
terday afternoon at the board meeting of
the District Commissioners Upon the
nomination by Mr.. mcfarland. who has
immediate charge of the office, of Dr. j.
Ramsay hewitt for Coroner and DR..
Larkin w. Glazebrook as deputy, vote
was taken and the appointment unani-
mously made.
Coroner hewitt was born near Richmond,
Va. thirty-three years ago, but he has
lived in this city since he was two years
old He was educated in the public
schools of the District, and afterward at
tended Columbian University. He at
tended the medical branch of the universi-
ty and received his degree in 1898. He
was student and physician at the Wash
ington Asylum. and later was in charge
of the smallpox hospital, and was an APP
plicant for the position of physician TO the
poor. At present he noids the position
OF police surgeon. His record is first class
His appointment is in the nature OF pro-
molten which has been won by merit.
DIR. G1aZebrook is the present Deputy
Coroner. His reappointment is an en-
dorsement of the administration of his Of
flee, which he has held since 1893. when
the Office Of Deputy Coroner was created
by act of Congress. DR.. Glazebrook does
the autopsy work of the office and per-
forms the duties of Coroner in the absence

Still the revel goes forward night after
night at the two summer parks just across
the district line in Prince George County,
Md, at the terminus of the Columbia
electric line. Still no interference is Of
fered by the county authorities to the
continuous carnival of riotous gayety.
In numbers that increase daily dissolute
women of that section of the city which
has been abandoned to them resort to
these places. In the embrace of partners
of no more respectable character, in at
titudes that would shame a Turkish
dancer, these women whirl to the music.
Between dances the pavilion is deserted
for the drinking tables, where capacity
seems the only limit for indulgence.
Another class of the freuuenters of the
female sex consists of young girls whose
skirts do not conceal their shoe tops.
Often they come unattended by escort.
The invitations to dance to drink or to
saunter proposed by men strange to
them, seem what they seek Presenta-
tions are almost never made, but ac-
Quaintance IS free to all
The dance is marked by the mutual
embraces that are INDUCED in.
oaths are frequent. and they are not
confined TO the masculine sex Vulgarity
and obscenfty are no less common.
Still the officials of Prince George County
find nothing to suppress. County officers
are seldom to be seen. Occasionally a
riot Of proportions graver than ordinary
requires interference. and on such occa-
sions if it is found desirable to prescribe the
liberties Of the rioters. box car is en-
ployed as a temporary Jail. Usually the
term Of confinement closes with the music,
and the prisoners are released. Girls and
women who become noisy from drink are
also frequently confined for a short pc
Rod in this jail on wheels.
The county officials manifest great ac-
tivity in suppressing minor evil, and
passing by the more fragrant cases. On
the grounds at one OF the parks is a bali
throwing game, and the award of a cigar
a prize for hitting a wooden man,
caused the arrest OF the owner Of the
privilege, who was fined on two occasions
for violating the law against gambling.
The cars of the Columbia line returning
10 the city in the later hours of the night
are crowded with the jewellers who indulge
in language and actions that are an out
rage on dece1cy.
The location of these summer parks IS
at point just beyond the District line,
at the conjunction of the Columbia cleo
trio line and the Chesapeake Beach Rail
way. The Chesapeake Beach road, how
ever, has no connection with the resorts.

between Buckner and the Eichelberger
boys because the former refused TO remain
away from the home of the latter. The
Eichelbergers laid in walt for Buckner and
beat him to death with a club. Immedi-
ately after the crime they left the city,
but were 'apprehended in Richmond,
brought here, tried, convicted OF man
slaughter, and sent to the penitentiary.
