ChOate's Winning RenIx
From the Saturday Evening Post.

THAT reminds me- laughed the senator
"of claim that l was once interested in

looked as If it would fail. and finally did
fail before the controller. l carried it to the
Supreme Court and got Joe Choate to come
down and argue it for me. Well, the day
that Choate made his argument the con-
troller. of course, was present to represent
the government. and Choate was firing
away In his usual brilliant fashion, and was
making a strong. Gear showing and claim

and asked: 80, -.,i

And the senator finished with a hearty

"No but there was suspicious twftching

not lost upon them. Neither was the case
lost" wound up the senator.

Much has been said of tho handwriting Of
Rufus Choate. it being, perhaps. as extraor-
binary, and certainly illegible, as any
which the most diligent search can procure.
1t was said that there were three degrees of
Mr. Choate's writing, namely. that which
only he and his secretary could read. that
which he alone could make out and that
which neither he nor anybody else could
decipher.
Many amusing incidents are told regard
ing this popularity of Mr.. Choate's. 1t was
said that upon certain occasion when he
was engaged upon some important case. he
sent written instructions to his office which
he desired to have carried out at once, AMI
which not a man in the place could inter-
pref. A consultation was held and 1t was
suggested that the great lawyer should be
written to for an explanation. although this
seemed a dangerous experiment sinca the
chances were that no one would be able to
read the explanation. At last 1t was rap
PLY decided that a Geographic dispatch be
sent 10 him calling for an immediate re-
ply and in this way the necessary infor-
nation was obtained.

ANSWER TO HONDURAS COMPANY.
The "Syndicate" Denies All AiieEa-
lions in Formers Suit.

TRENTON. N. J.. June 4-The Hondu-
ras syndicate. a New Jersey corporation.
which Includes among its directors Chaun-
cey M Depew, w. Stewart Webb and John
Jacob Astor. today filed in the United
States circuit court the answer to the bill
recently filed by the Honduras Company of
Georgia
The Georgia company charged that 1t had
been superseded in the securing of rights
in Honduras through confidential informa-
ton secured from ex-Secretary or the
Navy Tracey. special counsel for the New
Jersey company. The rights in question
were those Of building an interoceanic rail-
way and the operating of mines and banks
The New Jersey company in its answer
denies that the Georgia company was ever
legally Incorporated concern or that Sec
rotary Tracey was ever the New Jersey
company's counsel. or that any information
was secured for him. The bill further says
that the Honduras scheme was promoted
by Jacob B. Sheppard. who interested the
directors of the New Jersey company.
He finally became dissatisfied and with
drew from the company and began suit In
his own name. A settlement was effected
by the payment to Sheppard OF $4,000 and
the defendants say he is the only member
of the Georgia Company Of whom they
have any knowledge. They also say that
whatever rights they have obtained have
been secured through the influence of Geo.

Honduras government.

FROM CollierS weekly.
The Creedmoor rifle range, established in
1871. REMAINS the most perfectly appointed
rifle practice grounds In the United States.
The regulations governing the National
Guard of the state of New York require
that both privates and officers devote a
considerable time each summer to field
practice. The interest of the privates in
this practice is stimulated by the POSSIBLE
ity Of winning the Workmanship badge
which is one of the decorations provided by
the state. After winters practice in the
armory the citizen-solder Is prepared for
outdoor work at the targets on the Creed
moor range. This preparatory work in the
armorieS has proved excellent that the
percentage Of men qualifying at the state
range shows a marked increase each year.
The routine of the practice work on the
Creedmoor range does not prove irksome to
the national guardsmen. They are first
II arched by companies to the short range
of one hundred yards. where they are or
dered to fire five rounds standing. This
preliminary volley has little value because
the men have not yet obtained the proper
range; it serves merely to accustom them
to the distance. The second volley is fired
while kneeling. at the target stationed two
hundred yards from the men. The third
and fourth voleyS are fired at what are
known as three hundred and five hundred
yard targets. the men lying fiat on the
ground. Here the most earnest work Is
expected and Is done.
1t Is usually found that the marksman is
so raw that the services of the company's
coach are necessary. The coach is familiar
with all the tricks of the wind and with the
best methods of finding the range quickly
To that end the coach adjusts the range
finder and wind gauge on the private's gun
The companies are then ready for the com
petition In volley firing. The trophies Of
fered these companies lend an additional
interest to the contest. The officers are by
no means exempt from practice. They use
small arms at shorter
the sense of rivalry among them is as keen
as among the privates.

SEWERS NOT DEFECTIVE.
Statement by Capt. Beach Relative to
Recent Storm.

Recent Storm
'You may say" remarked Capt. Beach,
the Engineer Commissioner of the District,
to a reporter of The Star. in speaking of
the heavy rainfall Saturday and the flood
Ing of cellars that the rainfall was not
orly one of the heaviest ever known here.
hut also that the flooding of the cellars
was due to this unprecedented rainfall and
not to any defects in the sewers.
1.-The sewers Of the city have capacity
of three inches an hour, and. while we
perhaps experienced no such amount dur
ing Saturdays storm. yet the downtown
sewers were undoubtedly chOked up. as it
were. by the amount of water which fell,
not in the areas covered by them. but by
the water which, jumping the Boundary
and other large sewers in the northern
sections of the city. poured down into those
in the lower sections.
IT think II will be found that the great
est rainfall was in the northern sections of
the city and in those suburban districts not
vet fully developed, where sewer traps are
not provided, because of undeveloped con-
ditions, to the extent that they are found
In the city proper. The capacity of our
sewers Is, 1 believe. equal to. if not greater,
than that prevailing In the majority of
other cities of this country. and 1 am,
therefore, convinced that their failure to
carry on the rainfall OF Saturday was due
to the unprecedented amount OF water
which fell
These views Of Capt. Beach coincide with
those expressed by Mr.. A. e. Phillips, as
ststant engineer In the sewer department.
