READY AGAIN FOR ENQUIRY
The Court to Resume Its Sessions
Tomorrow Morning.

Everything is practically in readiness
for the reconyening of the Schley Court
of Enquiry tomorrow morning at IL
o'clock at the Washington Navy Yard. AT
the Navy Department there were no de-
velopments of Importance yesterday in
connection with the case. Secretary Long
was at his desk for the first time in near
ly two months. During his absence the
most important changes in the aspect of
the case took place. The Court was or
dered just before his departure.
The general sentiment is that there will
be no objection on the part of the counsel
of Admiral Schley to Admiral Ramsay,
who, by appointment of the department,
will act as the third officer of the Court
of Enquiry. The counsel for Admiral
Schley have not intimated what would be
their action. but several days ago one OF
them intimated that when the Court was
opened again there would be no time lost
in getting down to the business for which
it was originally ordered.
The gunners workshop at the navy
yard, where the Court sat for a single
eventful day when Admiral Howison was
declared Ineligible is standing ready for
the reopening. 1t is probable that some
noise which rendered almost inaudible the
voices of the officers of the Court, the
witnesses, and the counsel. On the days
following the opening day the Court VIII
probably open at 10 O'Clock each morning

A sHREwD WOMAN SHARPER.
Two Men Tell the Police How Their
belongings Were Mixed Up.

\ strange colored woman is badly want
ed by the police for thefts from Martin
Brown, an employe OF the Railway Mail
Service, and from Robert Brooker. en-
ployed at the Government Printing Of
fee. Unusual, even amusing, features
are presented in both cases. which oc-
Cured late Tuesday night and have just
been reported.
Somewhere near Sixth and E Streets
northwest Brooker met the woman Tues
day night about 10 o'clock. She stopped
him. engaged him in conversation. and
asked to be directed to place of en-
ployment. Brooker goou-naturedly an
saered the woman as best he could. al
though he knew of no one who wanted
help. Within the interval of two or three
minutes, and while talking to the woman.
Brooker declares she robbed him OF
pawn ticket for several diamond rings
This ticket seems to have been taken
from pocketbook, which Brooker car
red In his hip pocket. The woman, ac-
cording TO Brooker, soon departed after
making certain enquiries. going along Il
Street in westerly direction.
Less than an hour later Martin Brown
encountered a woman whose description
tallieS with that of the one who robbed
Brooker This was at Eleventh Street
and New York Avenue northwest The
woman hailed Brown from across the
street, and asked him for pin. Brown
had no pin at all, but stopped for mo-
ment to see what the woman had to say.
In his trousers pocket Brown had a $40
bill. In some manner not quite clear. the
woman got possession of this bill, and in
its place she left the pawn ticket taken
from Brooker an hour before. Brown
soon went home. and not until yesterday
morning. when he went down town to buy
some pictures of the late President Nc
Kinley. did he discover his loss.
Finding the pawn ticket in his pocket
instead of the bill. Brown hastily went
to the pawn shop from which it was is
sued. There he learned that two valu-
able diamond rings awaited the owner of
the pawn ticket on which they had been
pledged. The name and address of Brook
er were given him by the pawnbroker,
and after a while Brown found BroOker
and notes were exchanged.
All having become known to each man,
the First precinct police were next in
formed of the robberies. A description

men, and a search for her is being made

THE PRESIDENTS CHURCH.
A Modest Little Edihce of the Dutch
Reformed Denomination.

a pew in the tiny chapel of Grace Ger
man Reformed Church, corner of Fiji
teenth and Streets. has been set apart
for the use of President Roosevelt. who
has notified the pastor. the Rev. John NJ
Schick. that he viii attend services there
during his residence in Washington. The
church has accommodations for only $50
people. and Mr.. Schick said yesterday
that he could not take advantage of the
death of President Mckinley to build up
his church.
This was with reference to the fact that
he had received many letters from clergy
men and others urging him to press the
matter of the new building. 1t had al
ready been contemplated to build a new
structure. and pledges for s1O.0o0 or about
one-third of the cost, had been given.
Mr.. Schick said yesterday that after
the election of President Mckinley and
Mr. Roosevelt he wrote each of them
a letter of congratulatiCn. communicating
to Mr. Roosevelt the fact that there was
a church of his denomination in Wash
inston and asking him to attend. Mr..
Roosevelt's reply. said Mr.. Schick. was
most hearty and cordial. He said he had
believed that there was no church of his
faith in Washington and that ne would
accept the invitation to attend. On the
Sunday after the inauguration the Vice
President and his family were at the
services in this church.

KNOCKED DOWN BY A HORSE.
A Young Woman Fails to Notice a
Runaway Steed in Time.

A runa way horse owned by p. Il. BaIlon,
a fruit dealer at Ninth Street and Lou
isiana Avenue. knocked down Miss Mary
Turner aged twenty years of 60 n Street
southeast in the street yesterday after
noon. Miss Turner was badly cut and
bruised and was sent to her home I'm a
carriage by the police She refused to
go to the Emergency Hospital. although
the ambulance had been summoned by a
citizen.
John Bailey a negro. was in charge of
the horse, which escaped from stable
in Jackson Hall Alley northwest yesterday
about o'clock. The horse had been at
tached to wagon. and when the harness
was unstrapped by Bailey the animal
made a dash for liberty. Bailey could not
catch the hcrse, which ran down half 4
dozen stree ts, until Fourth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue was reached. There
Miss Turner stood, about to cross the
Avenue on her way home. A wagon was
passing AT the moment and this engrossed
her attention so that she did not see the
stray horse approaching. Suddenly the
animal brushed past her, so close that
she was knocked off her feet, thrown to
hurt. Policeman Sanders. Of the Sixth
precinct station, saw the accident as did
George w. Cochever, of 500 Tennessee
Avenue northeast. Bailey, the negro, and
others. Sanders went to assist Miss Tur-
ner. Cochever seems to have run to send
a call for the ambulance, and Bailey
caught the runaway horse.
Miss Turner was picked up from the
street. and in a few minutes was on her
way home in a carriage before the am
bulance arrived. Bailey took charge of
the horse and returned to the stable. Po-
liceman Sanders made no arrest as the
affair seemed purely accidental.
Miss Turner is employed at Havenner' $
bakery, c Street. near Sixth northwest.
She was attended at her home last night
by DIR. Montgomery.

LIKE MR.. M'KINLEY'S WOUND.
Almost Identical Injury of Negro
Now in n Local Hospital.

prominent local physicians and sur
Eeons of the Marine Hospital Service are
watching with the keenest interest the
case of Henson Smith. n colored man,
| twenty-five years of age. who lies in the
Emergency Hospital with abdominal
wound which bears striking similarity
to that inflicted upon the late President
Mckinley. The case is so similar. in
fact, that it is already attracting wide
spread attention in medical circles.
Smith has rallied from an operation sim
liar to that undergone by Mr.. Mckinley.
and today his pulse. respiration, and tenn
perature are normal. The physicians
have administered nothing but liquid food
to the patient and he is bearing up well.
They are not too hopeful of his recovery.
having fear Of the dread gangrene.
In number of ways the negro's wound
Is much more serious than that received
by the late President, but the operation
performed on him by DIR. Vaughan. of
the Marine Hospital Service. appears to
have been highly successful. Smith was
shot in an alteration on farm near
Gaithersburg., Nd, last Saturday after
noon about s O'clock. His assailant.
Ernest Norris. has surrendered to the
authorities. The wounded man was hur-
iieu ~ liiiS clty, OUT Olu mol IeicH the
hospital until six hours after he had been
wounded.
Thephysicians assert that had they been
able to operate upon the man within half
an hour. his recovery would be practi-
cally foregone conclusion. When Smith
arrived at the hospital an abdominal op-
Grafton, similar to that performed upon
President Mckinley. was determined up
on. The bullet, a 32-calibre. the same size
as was used by the Presidents assassin,
had entered about six inches below the
left nipple, an inch lower than the Presi-
dent $ wound had been. Opening the alb
dominal cavity, it was found that the
peritoneum had been lacerated in several
places The stomach had only been graz
cd. but more serious condition was
found in the punctures of the intestines.
There were four of these. Another
serious phase, not found in the Presidents
case. was that the main artery leading to
the intestines had been severed. The
physicians say that If the subordinate
arteries take up the work of the dis ib!ed
one there will probably be no gangrene
and their patient will live. The bullet, as
was SO with the President, was not To-
Gated. 1t is in the muscles of the back.
The danger OF peritonitis has been passed.

THE RELIC HUNTERS QUEST
Flowers at the Rotundn Were Their
Especial Prey.

The relic hunter was represented in fun
force at the Capitol Tuesday. He or she,
as the case might be. kept their eyes on
the floral tributes, in the absence of
something else that could be taken away
unobserved, and without likelihood Of
punishment.
Women OF mature age. especially, dis
played a great prediction for the now-
ers, and employed all imaginable ruses
to get past the guards. The guards, not
being over vigilant and severe. and their
attention being fastened on the passing
crowd, in this manner permitted the relic
hends To satisfy the cravings of their
hearts, and for little while they simply
helped themselves. The lieutenant IN
charge OF the sailor guard finally discov-
cred that measures ought to be taken
forthwith to prevent the utter loss OF the
flowers. through the desires of the SOU
venir- hunters. He ordered out a guard
especially TO keep an eye on the floral
tokens and great was the dismay depict
ed on the features of the relic fiend there
after.
