Diplomacy, of the Columbian University,
was held Monday evening, at which time

1t was the last time all the members would
be together as class, the event was made
an enjoyable one. A light luncheon was
served aboard just after leaving the wharf,
at the foot of Thirty second Street,
Georgetown, after which Charles Linkins,
Vice President of the class, rendered sew
eral selections on mouth organ and gui-
tar. and Charles Ray, dean, responded to
repeated calls, with baritone solo. The
boat stopped at River View and Marshall
Fall, at which resorts quite a little time
was spent.
Upon the return trip to the city, the
after cabin of the boat was sought to es-
cape the strong breezes, and speech max
ing was resorted to, nearly every member
being called upon, and responding Among
the many notable speeches were those of
President John w. Holcombe and Nessrs.
W. S. Smith and E. Hilton Jackson. Mr.
Holcombe also favored the class with an
original poem, an inspiration Of his youth
The class then ira sacted the unfinished
business of the scholastic year, and as the
boat touched at the wharf the member,
wished each other success in their budding
careers as doctors Of civil law and diplo-
mats

George II. Clements File. Complaint
With the Com ssiOners.

| George II. Clements Files Complain,
With the COMMISSIONER.
George H. Clements. who resides at 144g
w Street northwest recently wrote to the
Commissioners. making complaint of the
| time and the manner Of sweeping the
streets in the vicinity OF his home.
Il most respectfully protest." he says,
against the custom of sweeping W Street,
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth Streets,
at the late hour of IL to IL o'clock at
night"
Mr. Clement explains that he has illness
In his family Of a nervous character, and
complains that the racket Of the sweep
ers and scrapers at that late hour of the
night is very annoying, and that 1t often
results in the loss of nights sleep to
the sick one. He thinks that II the work
we're done in the day time or early even
Ing there would be no ground for COM
plant.
Mr.. Clement asks why the short streets
cannot be cleaned by the hand sweepers
and in the day time. Continuing, the let
ter reads: III the laws of the District are
50 considerate of the sick and delicate that
they allow a street TO be roped off, why
should they not regulate the street sweep
Ing so that 1t could all be done by or 10
and nervous to get their proper sleep. I
am sure that l voice the sentiment of
many hundreds Of people In asking that
the streets be swept early in the evening""
The Commissioners have taken the mat
ter under consideration and will decide
what measure of relief can be granted to
the complainant.

BOYD CAUGHT AT LAST.
The Alleged SwindIer Held mt Buff
faIO for the Local Police

faIO for the Local Police.
William Boyd. alias "Stubby." pro-
fessional foot racer, who has been wanted
by the local police for three years, and
who is now under Indictment in this city
on charges Of grand larceny and false
pretences. was arrested yesterday in Buff
falo and is being held for the local police.
Information to that effect was received
by Major Sylvester yesterday afternoon
from Superintendent Bull of the Buffalo
police. Immediately after the receipt of
the information Inspector Boardman tele-
graphed that Detective Weldon would
leave the city last night to take charge
OF the prisoner. 1t is expected that Boyd
will be brought to Washington Friday or
Saturday.
The offences charged against Boyd were
committed in 1897. Boyd and James
Strosnider, 1t is said. fraudulenly induced
a man to part with diamonds and money
to the value Of 5000 and woman to give
up SIS and bicycle. 1t was claimed by
the victims that Boyd posed as a sprintar
and that Strosnider posed as his trainer.
The pair, 1t is said. claimed to be prepar-
ing for race and needed money for a
stake. The race, 1t is alleged, was
myth.
Strosnider was tried and convicted of
the fraud and was sentenced to serve five
years at the Trenton penitentiary. He
was afterward pardoned by President Nc
Kinley. Boyd has been several times ap-
pretended. but on each occasion he has
succeeded in gaining his liberty before the
local police could lay hands on him.

GIVEN TO THE JURY.
The Arguments I'm the Ordnance Pat
ent SUIT End.

The Arguments I'm the Ordnance Pat
emit Suit End.
Arguments in the suit of the Sir w. G..
Armstrong Whitworth Company of Eng
land against Alexander H Mccormick and
other officers Of the American Navy to
recover $4,000 claimed as damages for
the alleged infringement of a patent on
trunnion bearings, were concluded yester-
day and the case submitted to the jury.
At the hour of the adjournment of court
an agreement had not been reached. and
Justice Cole, who presided at the trial,
instructed the jury to return a sealed
verdict this morning
The claim of the plaintiff is that the
United States has for several years used
the plans of the Brankston patent for
trunnion bearings in the construction of
all the heavy guns used in both the Navy
and the Army. This patent, it is also
alleged. was purchased from Brankston
by the plaintiff in 1883. The Government
contends on the other hand that all the
large guns constructed in recent years
have been according to the plans of the
Strauss patent, which was granted Lieut..
Joseph Strauss Of the United States Navy
in 1895. The device. the ownership of
which is in question, is an appliance used
in connection with heavy ordnance to en-
able the gunners to move the gun quickly
and accurately and with comparative ease.
There appears to be very little difference
between the two devices, the greatest be-
ing that, according to the Brankston pat
ent, the gun is moved by means of only
one screw. while by the Strauss plan two
screws are necessary.
The opening argument in the case was
made by A. S. Worthington for the plain
tiff. He was followed by the Assistant
District Attorney. Ashley NJ Gould, and
Arthur Wilkinson for the Government.
Mr.. Worthington made the closing argu-
ment. The case was submitted 10 the
jury at 3:45 p. m.

COMPLAINT OF BACKMBN
Rates for CarryingSing!e Passen-
gers Declared Unreasonable.
Compensation Notnin Keeping With
the Work Done - Commissioners
Petitioned to Allow n Charge of
Fifty Cents-Alieged Discriminn-
ton Between Cabs and Omnibuses.

The Commissioners yesterday received
letter from D. W. Baker, attorney for
number Of public hackmen of the District
complaining that the rate Of % cents fol
fifteen squares, for one passenger was toe
small compensation for the work done.
Mr.. Baker states that the cabmen are oil
the opinion that SO cents a trip of fifteen
squares or less. for one or two passengers,
would be reasonable. This. they say. would
give two passengers the right to travel
fifteen squares or less for so cents. and
would compensate the cabmen for the trip
in case there was but one. Mr.. Baker
adds that he is informed that the charge
of so cents a trip for five squares. for one
or two passengers, is allowed to the Balti-
more and Ohio automobiles, which come
within the cab regulations Of the District.
Continuing. Mr.. Baker says:
Il also desire to call your attention to
the fact that discrimination is made at the
Baltimore and Potomac Depo, between the
ordinary cabs and omnibuses, the omnibus
es being given the best stand at the depot.
The regulation which gives the omnibuses
this stand speaks of omnibuses Of licensed
hotels, implying that this is the special
stand for hotel omnibuses.
''If this is SO, the discrimination might
not be unlawful, but these omnibu Ees
haul persons to every part Of the city ard
county. thus depriving the pub ic cabs CT
that class Of business, which should lie
general to all. These onnibrscs coiid
easily be prohibited, while enjoying the
special privileges at the depot, from doing
any business other than carrying persons
to hotels.
AT present the regulations are silent
on this point. Formerly there was reg
ulation prohibiting the hotel ornnibases
from doing ordinary business. This was
held void by the Police Court on tie ground
that they were public cabs. This obje ton
could be easily avoided by merely prohibit
ing them, while standing on the special
stand, from doing a general business.
"a test case was brought in the Police
Court to determine the validity Of the om-
nibus regulation. but owing to the fact
that there is no objection to giving thsse
omnibuses special stands, if they vi
merely carry their passengers to and from
the licensed hotels the case at the time
was not prosecuted. in order that might
call the attention of the Commissioners to
this unlawful discrimination"
The Commissioners have referred the
matter to the Police Department for in
vestigation and report.
