planned. A friend who was anxious to see
him stfaighten out warned him that unless
he sobered up his conduct would be inves-
tigated by the police In connection with the
Dennis case. The police, he was told,
would probably follow him and cause him
much annoyance It is now believed that
this warning worried him. and that he ac-
tually believed he was being "shadowed"
by Maj. Sylvester's men.
The Omcials Anxious.
Both Maj. Sylvester and Capt Boardman
have remained at police headquarters late
at night since the assault was committed
on Mrs Dennis, more than a week ago,
doing all in their power to assist the de-
tectives in their efforts to solve the mys-
terry. In addition to the Office work. Capt.
Boardman has visited the scene of the as
sault and actively participated in the in
vestigation. Both officials, well as the
detectives, have advanced theories in con-
nection with the assault, but yesterday af-
ternoon they concluded they were no nearer
solution OF the mystery than they were
the day the crime was committed.
When Maj. Sylvester learned Of the affair
in Franklin Park early in the morning and
Of other cases which needed attention, he
decided to give Instructions to the members
OF the force, through the lieutenants, to
redouble their efforts for public protection.
His order reads:
"Lieutenants will work their full forces,
doing away with section work. and will
use their discretion relative to working
men in citizens clothes. We must put a
stop to these burglaries and assaults Sus-
pend drills until further notice The at
tention of members Of the force is invited
to the various crimes that are being COM
mitted within this Jurisdiction just now,
and l ask them to maintain their good
name by arresting some of the criminals.
Good work on the part Of any member of
the force will be properly recognized
Following the order of Maj Sylvester
the lieutenants sent out many Of their men
In citizens clothes last night or in other
words, made almost every man on duty
serve as detective for the time being. 1t
Is likely that many people hereafter found
on the streets after midnight may be called
upon for an explanation

ADMIRAL SAMPSON WEAKER.
Physical Collapse Feared, as He In
Gradually Losing Vitality.

Gradually Losing Vitality.
Although there has been no decided
change for the worse in the condition of
Rear Admiral Sampson for several days
past, 1t is realized by all cognizant of the
facts that he Is perceptibly weaker than he
was on his arrival in Washington, and that
the chances of his recovery are growing
less and less with the steady progress of
his disease.
An almost complete physical collapse is
feared. as he is gradually losingin strength
and vitality. He took a short walk Sun
day, but the exertion was almost too much
for him. AMI he has since been confined to
his home at 1913 New Hampshire avenue.
As an indication of his mental condition
1T Is said that he Is not aware of the result
OF the recent investigation Of Admiral
Schley's conduct in the West Indian cam
paign, and that he has no knowledge of
the steps taken by his friends to protect
his interests In the present consideration
of that matter by the Secretary Of the
Navy. 1t has been deemed best to keep
him in ignorance Of these matters for the
present.
Evening star., 1901-12-18

ment was made that up to late hour no
additional communications had been re-
ceaved from the court of inquiry or from
either Admiral Sampson or Admiral Schley,
OF from the counsel of either. The objec-
tions which the counsel of Admiral Samp-
son have received permission to file against
the approval Of Admiral Dewey's supple
mental report and the objections which the
counsel for Admiral Schley have received
permission to file against the approval OF
the main report Of the court are now in
course of full preparation.
Admiral Schley's counsel completed their
WORK today and have arranged to submit 1t
to Secretary Long this afternoon. The
counsel of Admiral Sampson are at work
In New York city. and 1t Is understood that
Mr.. Stayton, the senior member Of the
nrm, Will come to Washington by the night
train and hand the Secretary paper ex-
pressing their wishes in the matter tomor-
row morning. 1t is expected that Secretary
Long will make public the papers submit ed
Dy both sides, but 1t is hardly probable
that he will be able to conclude his con-
sideration Of them so as to take final action
on the report Of the court before the close
Of the week.
SaimpsOn's Lawyers Prepare Brief.
A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: Stayton & Campbell, attorneys for
Rear Admiral Sampson, are drawing up a
formal protest against the finding of Ad-
mirl Dew ey. Mr.. Campbell said today:
"We are preparing a brief and have un-
til Thursday afternoon to file 1t. It is
based upon the record of the court. Three
times. in behalf of Admiral Sampson.
there was a tender of evidence to show
who was in command at the battle of
Santiago. The court ruled that such testi-
.mony was inadmissable and the question
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS flag was never
down at Santiago. and he was in COM
mand Of the squadron. The question of
command at Santiago has already been
passed upon by the court Of claims. which
awarded that honor to Rear Admiral
Sampson"

PROMINENT IN BUSINESS CIRCLES
FOR HALF CENTURY.
Lived Retired Life in His Later Years
Death Results From Bright's
Diseaae.

Bushrod Robinson, one of Washingtons
Oldest citizens and well-known business
men, died this morning at 10 o'clock at his
residence, 1909 18th street northwest. Mr..
Robinson was seventy-two years Of age.
He had been in poor health for the past
year, suffering from Bright's disease, but
decided change for the worse took place
last Wednesday, and he had been slowly
sinking ever since. At an early hour this
morning the members of his family were
called to the bedside, and remained there
until the end came.
Mr.. Robinson is survived by his wife and
one son. He had lived in Washington all
his life. and for over fifty years was one
of the city's most prominent business men.
" lille he was yet boy he was a candidate
for the place Of Senate page, but his out
spoken opinion against the administration
then in power kept him out of the position.
Later on he was appointed to position
in the Senate post office, which he held for
several years. Back in the forties Robin
son & Wall opened clothing store on
Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 10th
streets, and this business was carried on
for many years. Later on Robinson, Par
ker & Co. was the firms name, and then
Robinson Cherry. In the latter firm
Mr.. Robinson had his last active business
experience, and when the firm was dis
solved he retired to look after his inter-
eStS III tne many corporations OF Wnlcn ne

prominent member of the Board Of Trade
and director in several insurance COM
panies and banks.

Notwithstanding the sufferings entailed
through his prolonged illness. Mr.. Robin
sons mind always remained clear, and he
frequently referred to the early days of his
life, when the capital city was little more
than a struggling town. But few weeks
ago, during a conversation relating to the
oldest citizens Of Washington, Mr.. Robin
son said he believed he was the only per-
son then living who had attended the fu-
neral Of President Tyler He was strip of
boy then, he said, but the experience
was indelibly imprinted upon his mind.
