WHEELING DEFEATED
with Ease by the Pittsburg Bowlers
Yesterday Afternoon.

The bowling representatives of
Wheeling returned fro Pittsburg last
night very much crestfallen, after sus-
tanning a very humiliating defeat at the
hands Of the bowlers in that city. The
Wheeling boys did well, making excel
lent scores, but they were simply up
against it. Things have been coming
so easy for Wheeling in Inter-city
matches, that the local players have
been a trife ower-confident. 1t is more
than likely that an effort will be made
to arrange another series of games, to
enable Wheeling to regain her lost
laurels.

IN THE DISTRICT COURTS.
George II. Davis Trial to BE Begun
This Morning.

The trial of George r. Davis, who is
charged with the embeZzlement of $1,000
of the funds of the Southern Express
Company, is scheduled TO begin this morn
ing before Justice Barnard, presiding in
Criminal Court No. l. 1t was expected
that the trial would have been begun last
Monday morning, but the Bass case oc-
cupied the attention of the court much
longer than was anticipated and the
Davis case was postponed.
Davis was formerly employed as
messenger by the Southern Express Com
pany. About two years ago several money
packages were lost and Davis fell under
suspicion. Investigation developed the
fact that he had a seal similar to the one
used In sealing money packages, made by
Arthur Baumgarten, a local manufacturer
of such articles When Identified by
Baumgarten in the offices of the express
company, as the man by whose order the
seal had been made, Davis drew a pistol
from his pocket and fired at his accuser.
For this offence Davis was indicted for
assault with intent to kill and was con-
victed in Criminal Court No. !. He was
afterward sentenced to the penitentiary

era1 selections, much to the delight of their
fellows. Standing on one of the stairway
landings, they put their heads together in
CLOSE harmony" Their voices blended
perfectly and at the conclusion of their
song there were demonstrations of delight
upon the part of the other prisoners.
At the Jail there is always the keenest
interest in the doings of another prisoner.
This fact was clearly exemplified at the
o'clock service yesterday afternoon, con-
Quoted by members of the Epworth
League, of Wesley Memorial Chapel. Four
songs were sung by John Mcdonald,
prisoner, who viii today be released at the
expiration of three months sentence for
larceny He has a splendid baritone voice
OF especial cfearness and strength, and,
moreover is musician OF no little aplhty.
One of the songs he composed since COM
ing to the jail. II showed masterfuI
command of musical Interpretation:
Mcdonald is rather an enigma to the au-
thorities at the jail He is clearly man
of superior education, and has apparently
travelled extensively. The officers at the
Jail believe the name Mcdonald an as
sumed one. His wonderful voice attracted
attention to him soon after he came to the
Jail and since that time he has frequently
been allowed to sing solos much to the de-
light of the prisoners. Yesterday he was
accorded the privilege of coming out into
the rotunda to sing. The Epworth ser
vices are probably the most popular of the
day on account of the large amount OF
singing Many of the prisoners take the
keenest interest in all the services. They
gain q position as close 10 the rotunda as
possible, and follow the services closely,
joining in all the songs and bowling their
heads reVerently at every prayer.

for a period of two and one-haH years.
Some months after being sentenced Davis
was pardoned by the President. AT the
trial today the Government Will be rep
resented by Assistant District Attorney
Ashley NJ Gould.
1t is also expected that some steps will
be taken tomorrow by District Attorney
Thomas H. Anderson to reopen the Po-
tomac Flats case. The matter was to
have come on for hearing before Justice
Hagner, sitting in the District branch of
the Supreme Court of the District, on
April 3 last. but on account of the Justices
Illness II was postponed.
Justice Hagner has been confined to his
home for the greater part of the last
three weeks, and during that time was
able to visit the City Hall only once. 1t
was stated last week that it was proba-
bic he would go to Atlantic City for
few days, and there is still some doubt
If he will be able to undertake the con-
sideration of such an important matter
during the current week.
The object of reopening the Potomac
Flats case is to take testimony relative
TO the value of the wharf property along
the Potomac River front, within the limits
of the District. In order that the matter
might be properly put before the owners
of property along the river front and the
lessees of wharf property, District Attor-
ney Anderson some time ago sent out
notices informing them of the action
about to be taken by the Government and
also explaining the purpose of the reopen
ing of the case.
IN connection with the subject of the
reopening of the Potomac Flats case it
may be stated that at the request of
District Attorney Anderson Mr.. Griggs,
before his retirement, decided to appoint
a special attorney TO take charge of the
interests of the Government In the mat
ter In the last week there has been con-
siderable talk about the City Hall relative
to the matter, and while il is admitted
that the appointee has been decided upon
the name has not been announced.
The delay in the naming of the special
attorney will not, however, it is said, in
terfere with nor cause a postponement of
action by District Attorney Anderson. In
case Justice Hagner is able to take up
the consideration of the case tomorrow
the District Attorney win appear for the
Government and continue as counsel until
a special attorney is named by the Attor-
ney General.
