An Indian Delegate Locked Up by
the Police.

A full-blooded Indian who speaks broken
English and who gave his name as Reggie
Oshkosh is held a prisoner at the Fourth
precinct station, charged with vagrancy.
He claims not to understand his arrest at
all. The redskin was with several young
men on Four-and d-a-half Street, near
Maryland Avenue southwest, when taken

Oshkosh then made it plain that he rep

had claim against the Government be-
cause of the sale years ago of some of
their land.
There seems to be some doubt whether
Oshkosh can be convicted in the Police
Court, because he is a ward of the ma

this morning to the District Attorneys
office for decision as to what to do

ut Grafton. w. Va.

The search for d. p. Hurley. freight
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road at Alexandria, Va. has extended to
this city. Last night brother of the
missing man called at headquarters and
saw Inspector Boardman. He gave the
latter description of his brother and at
his request Inspector Boardman tele-
graphed to Grafton, W. Va, to obtain
particulars of the death there of an un-
identified man by falling from a moving
train.
Mr. Hurley thought the victim might
possibly be his brother, because the de-
scription reported from Grafton is said
to tally with that of the missing agent.
No reply TO the despatch had been re-
ceived at late hour
1t is said that d. p Hurley has been
missing since Thursday from his home,
309 South Washington Street, Alexandria.

In the general discussion which follow
ed, DIR. r. Rcyburn. Conrad II. Syme. r.
Il. Andrews, Capt. J. p. Walker William
Hahn, and e. A. Poe, and others paftici-
pated. The project of inducing manu-
facturers to locate in Washington was
unanimously accepted.
DR.. Reyburn suggested that an unfor-
tunate condition initiating against the
establishment of manufactures here was
found in the ability of the municipal
government to impose regulations which
might be obnoxious or an impediment to
the business of such concerns.
Mr.. Andrews gave statistics indicating
the discrimination in freight rates against
Washington as compared to nearby cities
Mr.. Poe recommended that the associa-
tion, cooperating with the Board of
Trade, effect Congressional action in the
interest of local manufacturing He CON
Ceived that Government consideration to
the project would be an advertisement of
the purposes of the District of Columbia
which could not be secured by great ex-
penditure of money
1t was announced that the association
would hold it's annual excursion about the
1st of June, and that Chesapeake Beach

The Fourth.

Notwithstanding the very dry weather,
there was good crowd in town on the
Fourth-mostlv Young pcopc-and they
all cnioved themselves.
Arrangements for the celebration were
made rather late, yet everything went
OF in iirst-class shape. The parade
was not as large as it has been in some
former wears, but it was excellent. The
girl band looked well, although the mu-
sic was nothing to brag on--in fact, it
was advertised as "thc worst band ON
elrth." The monkey cage was true to
naturc"-thc bows looked and acted like
real monkeys. (rhere's considerable of
the monkey about boy, anyhow)
Other cages of wild animals were as
good as the monkey cage. The fairy
chariotecr was one of the best attrac-
tons The Jay" band was another
good feature. In fact, the whole thing
was a success.
The afternoon program consisted OF
music by the glee club, the reading OF the
Declaration of Independence by Miss
Maggie Farris and speech by j. W.
Iden, of Parsons. While we do not en-
dorse all of the sentiments expressed by
the speaker. we must admit that it con
tanned many excellent points, and was n
good speech from his standpoint.
There was hitch in the fire works
display at night, owing to the fact that
a rocket started fire in the grass in
Henry Hedges yard, aud the fire com
PAM was called out to save his barn
Quiet was restored, however, and the
display was continued il was fine
Taken altogether, il was very enjoy
able celebration.
