Mrs. Murphy Accuses Officer SteventOn
of Three OHenSeS.

Mrs. Mary Murphy of POI 1st street and
and James e. Green, have preferred charges
against Private A. w. Steventon OF the
metropolitan police. In their communica-
ton to the District Commissioners on the
subject it is declared that Monday, August
b. Private SteventOn arrested Mrs. Murphy
without proper cause, and in effecting the
arrest used unnecessary force and was
guilty of conduct unbecOming an officer.
The third charge against the officer is that
at the hearing of the case of Mrs. MUIR
ply, he, under oath, said no charges had
ever been preferred against him by Mrs.
Murphy's husband. whereas. the commune
alton continues, sit Is upon record in the
Office q your honorable board that COM
plant was made against said Officer Ste
venton by the husband of Mrs Murphy, and
he was required to make a statement in re-
Spouse thereto The charges are support
ed by an affidavit of Mrs. Murphy.
Major Sylvester. superintendent of police
in reporting upon the matter. says he has
informed Mrs. Murphy that the proper pro-
cedure would be for her to secure a war
rant against Private Steventon for assault
the same, his case would be placed before
the police trial court. Commenting further
upon the case, Major Sylvester says the
charges involve questions of law purely,
which must first be disposed of, that of dis
ciplne to follow. Ii is said the matter was
thoroughly gone into in the Police Court,
including the charge of brutality against
the officer. Mrs. Murphy was fined, but

LEADING GERMANS VIEW
REASONS OF DEMOCRAT FOR
SUPPORTING MCKINLEY.
why He Opposes Bryan's Plan OF
Dealing With the PHILIPPINES -
Means War without Advantage.

Gustavus A. Koerner Of Believilie, Ill. q
prominent democrat and man of great in
fuence among the voters Of German de-
scent in Illinois. has declared his opposi-
ton to Organism and his intention to vote
for Mckinley next November.
Mr.. Koerner is the son of q former lieu
tenant governor of Illinois and minister to
Spain, and is one of the most influential
Germans of Illinois. In his letter declaring
his purpose to support Mr.. Mckinley Mr..
Koerner said:
II know of no party that has expressed a
wish to change the form Of government
from a republic to an empire, and no act
of the administration of President McKin-
ley has been pointed out which would allow
G reasonable man to harbor suspicion
that such thought has found lodgment
there. The fact is this: The democracy Of
1900 clings to the idol set up In 1895. I
could not bow to 1t then and repudiate II
now.
1.-The plan proposed by the democratic
platform for the disposition Of the Philip
pine question does not command my I'M
qualified approval. This plan first demands
that stable government be established for
the islands. After the stable government
is secured the democratic platform pro-
poses independence of the islands. That
means an entire withdrawal of our forces
and entire abandonment of American
rights tneTe, Whatever tney may De- jung
ing from the past the stable government
which We are to introduce at so enormous
cost of life and treasure will not last long
after this withdrawal. and l can see no
reason why we should engage in this gigan-
tic enterprise to absolutely no purpose.
But the democratic plan goes much fur
Their. 1t intends that after we have thus
established peace and order and have
achieved. or. rather. granted, this indie
pendence. We shall enter upon the Qufxotic
scheme of ever after protecting the Phil
ippines from all outside aggression. 1t
seems to me that we must, if we adopt this
policy, anticipate to carry on war with all
nations for one thousand years and all to
no purpose. without interest to us. without
any possible advantage to be gained"

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1t has often seemed to me that for those
living In the northwest and northeast parts
of the city. especially those living north OF
II street northeast and north of X street
northwest, a cross-town line should be
given, and would also be very profitable for
the giver. For illustration, suppose per-
son living anywhere north Of the above
named streets desired to go to 18th, 18th.
22d or whereabouts he would first have TO
ride all about town before reaching his des-
tina ton. Now. it seems to me that some
provision could be made. say, for instance.
the new line of ''autocaretts'' might find a
large patronage in this section by establish
ing first-class service. Other cities are
given more cross-town railroad service than
is given in Washington. We only have two
that may be called cross-town railroads.
namely, F street and Columbia railroad.
the latter only running to 14th street and
New York avenue.
In conversation with many citizens about
the subject the general verdict is. Yes. We
ought to have such a Ene." / hope those
living in the sections mentioned will at an
early date have some service, SO that II
they desired to reach one extreme of the
city from the other in a hurry they will not
have to go all around town first. r. L. D.

count of the difficult nature of the country

CONSUL FOWLER HEARD FROM.
Another Theory Suggested Regarding
Delayed Dispatches.

A cablegram was received at the State
Department this morning from United
States Consul Fowler at Chefoo. The
cablegram Itself was of little interest, re-
lating entirely to a routine matter and was
not made public. But 1t was important be-
cause of it's date, which was August %.
This date, wrought into the body of the
dispatch by Mr.. Fowler. seems to indicate
that the delay which has been experienced
during the past fortnight in the sending
and the receipt Of communications between
Washington and Pekin was probably be-
yond Chefoo. This points to the probabili-
ty that the delays were experienced on the
military line between Taku and Pekin.
This delay ia therefore attributed to the
operations of small marauding parties of
Boxers operating on the lines Of commune
cation of the Pekin campaign force.

its effectiveness has been unsurpassed but
it is fashioned by the dressmakers into rich
