OFFICER EXPLAINS.

Representative Fftxgerald Makes
Charges Agafnst Policeman KfImartin
Policeman Kilmartin of the first precinct
has made explanation to Major Sylvester,
superintendent Of police, Of a charge pre-
ferred against him by Representative John
J. Fitzgerald of New York. The represen-
tative was arrested by the policeman Mon
day for insisting on going through the lines
without a pass. He left s. collateral at the
station, and the money was returned to
him at the Police Court the next day. Mr..
Fitzgerald complained Of the officers man
ner in making the arrest.
1t is understood the policeman claims he
was endeavoring to carry out his orders,
and that he acted properly In making the
arrest.
Policeman George L. Yoe of the first pre-
c1nct was cited to appear before the trial
charges which were preferred against him
by his superior officers. He failed to ap-
pear for trial, and Major Sylvester will
probably make his recommendation in the
case early next week.
1t Is alleged that the officer took PoIice-
man Arthur E. Stahl to task for appear-
ing In theater on his beat Thursday night
as he thought, to make an arrest while the
officer was really there looking for Detec-
abusive and threatening language toward
Stahl. In the other case the officer was ac-
cused Of having threatened Crossing Po-
iceman Mahaney at his post of duty, cor

Auditor Petty Reports Against Extra
Pay to Taylor Davenport.
Auditor Petty today submitted to the
District Commissioners his report in the
case of Taylor Davenport, who. some time
ago filed claim with the Commissioners
for 1884 for working over regular hours
during the time he was employed as a fire.
man in the District building. MIR. Petty's
report is adverse to the claim.
Davenport's claim was submitted through
P. A. Bowen, jr., his attorney. 1t is stated
that the claimant was employed as a fire.
man in the District building December Z.
1897, under Harald Elliott, at the rate of
$133 per day Of eight hours day; that he
remained in the employ Of the District un-
til November 1, 1899, working each day
twelve hours instead of eight, receiving no
extra pay for the additional four hours he
claims to have been on duty each day
Davenport claims he Is entitled to the ex-
ira four hours compensation for the two
years he was employed, amounting to 1884
In his report Auditor Petty says:
"Mr. Davenport was not laborer work
hrst IN temporary capacity by the month.
with monthly rate of compensation, and
later as regular yearly employe, with a
salary of $3.50 per annum.
He sought and accepted the position
with full knowledge Of the fact that
the daily duties. required of him could not
possibly be performed in eight hours
Without complaint or murmur he continued
In the place for two years, until his re-
moval November 1, 1899 receiving his pay
regularly, not only without protest. but,
on the contrary. in every instance signing
a receipt roll which bore the acknowledge
ment that the amount received was in full
settlement for services rendered to the
date of payment. From these facts it Is
evident that the claim has neither legal
nor an equitable basis, and must Of neces-
sity be disallowed."

WORK OF PICKPOCKETS.
Three CftfAens Part With Their
Watches and Chains

A "mob" Of pickpockets worked the city
last night. succeeding in getting three gold
watches and as many chains. 1t Is stated
at police headquarters that the pickpockets
operated principally on the street cars
Those who were robbed were D. d. Stone,
S04 street northwest; Abraham Hart,
1921 11th street northwest, and William R.
Maxon, 1885 Wallach place.
It was about o'clock when Mr. Maxon
discovered his loss. He was on his way to
the theater at the time, and the car in
which he was robbed was crowded. Mr.
Stone was robbed after he left the theater
1t is believed by the police that the men
who committed the thefts last night are
those who secured several watches from
passengers on street cars in Baltimore

PETITION DISMISSED.
west virginia City Fails to Get Re-
count of Population.

Justice Cole Of the Supreme Court OF the
District of Columbia today dismissed the
petition for writ of mandamus submitted
recently by the city of Parkersburg. W
va, asking the court to compel William
X Merriam, director of the census. to make
new enumeration of the population of the
city of Parkersburg and TO prohibit the
publication and circulation of pamphlet,
containing the official count, which was
declared to be inaccurate
In dfsmissing the petition Justice Cole
held that the city Of Parkersburg had
neither property nor a political right In
the matter. The court further remarked
that the taking of census Is a political mat
ter, and is outside the domains of tudicia |
action.
In the petition It was set forth that the
population OF the city, according 10 the
ngures promulgated the result of the
census enumeration in June last was II :
fdS The figures represented the officia
count The mayor of Parkersburg caused a
count to be made. the result showing a
population OF 14.0i1. 1t was charged thai
the alleged negligence of the official emu
merators and the PRONUNCIATION of the fig
ures collected by them would work grea I
injury TO the city.

REQUEST RENEWED.
Permit to Lay Asphalt Roof Desire,
by Walker & Sons.

Permit to Lay Asphalt Roof Desired
by Walker & Sons.
J. T. Walker & Sons Of this city have
renewed their request to the District Com
mfssioners for a permit to lay an asphalt
street between 21st and 22d streets north
west, which was some time ago refused.
The firm calls attention to the fact that
it laid asphalt roofs on the census build
ing and the new police headquarters The
only difference in the present case, it is
stated, is that the company wants to use
fine gravel on the roof in place Of Stag.
because the roof is steep and Stag will
crawl in hot weather. Testimonials as to
the quality of the roofing are inclosed in
the communication to the Commissioners.
The matter was referred to the inspector
of buildings, Mr.. Brady, who has reported
that when application was made by the
firm mentioned to apply to the roof of the
laundry building a covering composed of
paper felt. pitch and gravel, sample of
this composition was submitted, and In or
der to ascertain whether it was a suitable
covering for buildings within the fire linn
it.s, and would meet the requirements of
the building regulations it was forwarded
to the chemist of the District for test.
which resulted in it being reported as a
composition readily infiammable. Conse-
Qucntly, Mr.. Brady declares, 1t did not
meet the requirements of q material for
roof covering within the fire limits. and
he recommended adverse action upon the
application.
The Stag roof referred to by the appli-
cants. says Mr.. Brady, which has been
piled for in 1885, was, after fire test made
by the fire marshal of the District, pro-
nounced not readily inflammable and for
this reason its use was permitted.

PLOUGHING THE SEA.
Fishing Horseback on the Coast
of Belgium.

From the Wide World Magazine.
j had met Frenchmen who went out shoot
ing on horseback. and. though they did not
bring home very satisfactory bags, yet they
contrived to secure a certain amount OF
exercise in a leisurely way. avoiding all
the tedium OF tramps from covert to covert,
the morasses of mud in plowed fields. and
various other drawbacks. But. until / went
to Flanders the other day, 1 had never
heard of fishing on horseback. Indeed the
idea sounded supremely ridiculous at the
first blush However. on closer investiga-
ton discovered a strange and very inter-
esting sport. which has existed on the
Flemish coast during many generations.
and may be relied upon to amaze any or
thed0x disciple of Walton. All along the
edge OF the north sea shrimping is one of
the chief Industries of the Inhabitants. who
supply Paris, northern France and the
greater part of Belgium with this dainty
Their ordinary method is to wade ont to
sea. or else drift about in small boats and
rake the bottom OF the sea with their nets
But IL Is not thus that the best shrirnps
are to be obtained. The waders pushing
nets in front OF them by means Of poles.
