The Choral Society.

The rehearsal on Monday night showed
great progress on the oratoria of Elijah"
to be sung on April 80. The improvement
Of the chorus in taking up new music is
very marked, particularly since the expe-
rience which it had with the great har-
monte difficulties of "Hora Novissima,'
rendered last month. By contrast the mel
lifiuous choruses of Mendelssohn seem very
simple There We're 135 members present
on Monday and the waiting list continues
on all but the tenor part. The attractive
ness of membership has been greatly en-
HANGED by the practice, inaugurated last
season and continued this of giving a lee
ture complimentary to the active mems
bers on some musical subject. Last sea-
son Walter Damrosch was the lecturer,
and on Tuesday night Mr.. H. f. Krehbel.
The members are divided as to which lee
turer is the more interesting. The man
agement is already considering a lecture
by Mr.. Damrosch for next year. Much
pleasure is expressed at the prospect of
hearing Mr.. Ericsson Bushnell again in his
great role of Elijah.

REQUISITIoN NOT HoNoRED
JUSTICE BINGHAM DECLINES TO
SURRENDER ALLEGED OFFENDERS.
No Ofense Charged in,Papers Against
Messrs. Walters Bradshaw
and Shaw.

After hearing which, was in progress
until after o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Chief Justice Bingham fof the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia declined
to surrender Messrs. John H. Walter,
Aaron Bradshaw and Granville c. Shaw
of this city to the sheriff of Montgomery
county on requisition from Governor
Smith of Maryland. In addition to those
mentioned the requistion called for Mr.
Thomas H. Pickford. He could not be

Tense having occurred in September, 1897.
The property destroyed was located at
-Four Corners, Md. At the time of the fire
IT was untenanted and Messrs. Walter and
P1ckford claim they were the sole owners
of it.
In declining to honor the requisition of
the governor of Maryland, Chief Justice
Bingham explained that his action did not
affect the guilt or innocence of the parties
In any way, and was not to be understood
as tending to operate against further pros
ecllt1on. 1t simply meant that no offense
had been charged in the requisition papers
sCf1cfent to satisfy the court that the &C
cused had committed any crime against
the neighboring state, or that they were
fug1tlves from the law. The defendants
We're thereupon released.

During the hearing Mr.. Walter was rep
resented by Attorneys Arthur Peter and
w. Mosby Williams, Attorney Henry E.
Davis appearing for Mr.. Bradshaw. Sheriff

he knew nothing Of the connection, If any,

Of the house.
Mr.. Walter declared that he was not in
Maryland a the time of the fire, or imme-
diately prior thereto. He drove out the fol-
lowing day with Mr.. Pickford to view the
ruins. Mr.. Bradshaw stated that he did
not know how he had been brought into
the case, as he knew nothing, except in
casual way, of the fire.
The court was informed by Mr.. Shaw
that during September. 1897. he was super
intending force of men who were engaged
In making extensive repairs to the prop

Audubon Society Issues Circular Con-
tanning It's PrOyfsiOns


The Audubon Society Of the District of
columbia has issued and distributed in the
form of circular a copy of section of
the new game law. This section relates to
the protection of. non-game birds, and is
identical with measures passed by the legis-
latures Of Maine, New Hampshire, New
Jersey. Delaware, Wyoming and California
during this years legislative sessions in
those states. AS it is already in force in
five other states-Rhode Island, New York.
Illinois. Indiana and Administrator states
and the District of Columbia are now I'M
der the same prohibition concerning song
birds. In addition to this section the cir
cular contains a statement of the close
seasons for game birds fixed by the new
law. The last of the open seasons expires
next Monday, April 1.
The circular also makes known the pro-
hfbition against nest robbing contained in
the law. The breeding season among the
birds is just beginning, and it is probable
that the distribution of this circular will
tend to decrease the activity that usually
prevails among small boys and other nest
robbers during this period.
Important changes have been made in
the game seasons. The open season for
quail and prairie chicken is extended to
March Is, instead Of closing February l.
as in the old law; that for woodcock is
from July to January /, instead Of from
July 10 to January 10: that for snipe, plov-
er, wild ducks, wild geese and brant closes
April l, instead of May /, and that for reed
birds marsh blackbirds and rail Cor orto-
LAM is shortened and simpliied. beginning
September 1, instead of August 20, and not
being restricted, as heretofore, to certain
days of the week. The other seasons re-
main unchanged.
1t is the expressed desire of the Audubon
Society to give the widest publicity to the
new law, hence it's circular is designed for
general public distribution and may be

SpIndler, the undertaken, and her sister
Mrs. Lee The affair happened on 7th
street between r and streets, near the

the undertaking establishment the former
was not in the best of humor and saving,

give her sister information concerning what
she alleged had happened. There was no
hesitation on the part of the wife Of the

applying the lash. They paid no atten-
ton to his appeals for mercy and con-
tinued the use of the instrument Of tor
ture until Haynes succeeded in getting
away. No sooner had he started to run
than pedestrians shouted, stop him.
Howard Radcliffe. who was seated on his
doorstep near the scene of the alleged
assault, responded to the cries and grabbed

him and again she proceeded to use the
whip on the man whom she accused OF

the direction of his home with a friend
1t is stated he returned to the vicinity Of
the Spindler home an hour later with his
friend. The latter, it is stated, had in his
possession an old shotgun. Because Of
