Librarian Putnam Sees His
Efforts Crowned With
Success.
REGULAR FORCE VOLUNTEERS
Employees to Be Paid Extra for Their
Work-Fight to Place Big Govern
ment Book Collection at Disposal of
the Public Has Been Long One.

Librarian Herbert Putnam has at last
achieved success in the crusade he has
long been conducting to have the Library
of Congress open on Sundays, so that the
large class who have no other time at
their disposal may enjoy the benefits Of
the great government book collection.
Tomorrow the Library will open its
the building will remain open until 10
o'clock in the evening. Visitors will be
permitted to inspect the building as on
week days. reading rooms and periodical
rooms will be in condition to receive the
visitors, while those desiring to prose-
cute a research in any particular branch
will find photographer on hand, who
will assist them if they SO desire.
For some years this question OF the
Sunday opening of the Library has been
agitated, so far, until the present time.
without any result whatever. The late
Senator Mcmillan took the matter up
and succeeded in having an appropria-
ton for this purpose made in the Senate.
The House conferees, however, defeat
ed the measure. and it was not until Mr..
Putnam this year made the sum of
$4,000. the amount Of the appropriation,
a part of his yearly estimate, that the
matter was finally adjusted. Mr.. Putnam
has been strenuous and indefatigable in
his efforts to have the library in shape
to receive patrons on Sunday. and during
his term of Office he has conscientiously
striven toward this end. with final sue
cess.
Tomorrow the regular library force, a
volunteer portion of it at least, will be
on duty between the hours named. Mr..
Putnam decided it would be unwise to
employ outside assistance in the Lii
brary, as they would necessarily be un
familiar with the work. He issued a cir
cular to the employees stating that those
who wished to work on Sunday would be
paid extra. and there was an immediate
rush for the work.

FIGHT With BULL DOGS
UNBALANCED His MIND
Former British Vice Consul
Stuart in Asylum
Was Removed From His Official Posi-.
tion on Account of Shortage in Ac-
counts and Irregularities.

BOSTON, Sept. 12-Willoughby H.
Stuart, formerly British vice consul. now
helpless in the Mclean Insane Asylum.
was, it now appears, removed from his
position on account of shortage in his
accounts and other Irregularities un-
doubtedly due to an unbalanced mind.
Mr.. Stuart's friends allege that he is
suffering mental and physical torture
from the effects of a terrible battle with
a pair of pet bull dogs four years ago.
His wounds have not entirely healed as
yet. He was threatened with hydropho
bia and has never recovered.
Some time ago he was financially en-
barrassed. but the matters were all fixed
up by his father-in-law, Arioch Went
worth.
When the British government notified
him to resign the accounts at the con-
sulate were shown to be short to the
extent of three or four thousand dollars.
The shortage was made good.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
TO BE OPEN ON SUNDAYS
BUNDY ON TRIAL FOR
ATTACKING POLICEMAN

The case of James Bundy. colored.
charged with assaulting with intent to
kill Policeman Arthur D. Motfctt on the
afternoon of September 3, was partially
heard in the United States branch OF the
Police Court yesterday.
Moffett, the first witness, said that on
the afternoon in question he was not on
duty, and went out to do some detective
work on his own account. He was in
search of negro named Washington,
suspected of the murder of a man named
Cornfield, which crime was committed
year ago. During his travels he
stopped in a saloon at the corner of
Twenty sixth and l Streets northwest.
He was in citizens clothes, and treated
the gang" several times, hoping to
make them talkative. He drank nothing
himself.
After remaining in the saloon for more
than an hour, Moffett said he left. Bun
dy and another negro followed him
across Rock Creek Bridge into George
town. This action. 1t seems, Moffett OBJ
jected to, and he asked Bundy what he
meant by 1t. Warm words followed, and
he placed Bundy under arrest, but Bun
dy broke and ran, with Moffett after
him, and on the negro reaching the east
end of the bridge he pulled gun and
fred at the policeman. Moffett returned
the fire, the bullet entering Bundys
leg.
Then, Moffett claimed, Bundy threw
his gun toward the creek. and one of
his brother officers testified to finding
gun near the scene of the conflict two
days afterward.
There are yet five witnesses for the
prosecution and about twenty for the
defense to be examined.

ATTORNEY v. /. COLEMAN
is DECLARED SANE.
HIS Wife's Petition Dismiss
ed by Justice Anderson.
Physicians Testify That Lawyer Is
Mentally Sound and His Release
Is Promptly Ordered.

Attorney Watson E. Coleman was
yesterday released from the custody of
the authorities of ST. Elizabeth's Hos
pital for the Insane by order of JUS
tice Anderson, of the Supreme Court of
the District. Mr.. Watson was taken
into custody at the instance of his wife,
Mrs. Stuart Mosby Coleman, on Sep
tember last. Mrs. Coleman asserted
that her husband was insane.
In disposing of the matter Justice An
derson said:
From the evidence of these compe-
tent and reliable physicians, can see
no grounds for the institution of these
proceedings, and they are dismissed. ;"
Continuing. the court said:
People ought to be. very careful
about bringing such charges against
others, and such action should not be
taken without good grounds"
Physicians Say He Is Sane.
When the matter was called up. AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Sinclair.
representing the Commissioners, called
DIR. George Lattimer. an alienist. and
DR.. Henry Crossan to testify relative to
Mr.. Watson's mental condition. They
were agreed that he was of perfectly
sound mind, and declared that he was
not suffering from delusions of any kind
whatever.
Other testimony along the same line
was offered to the court, but Justice
Anderson stated that he had heard suf-
ficient to warrant him in disposing OF
the case.
Mrs. Coleman was in court. but was
not called upon to testify. 1t is under
stood that she was too nervous to take
the stand.
Leave Court Together.
After the proceedings were dismissed
by the court Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman held
two conferences, one in the court room
and another in the hallway just outside.
They afterward left the City Hall to-
gether.
Mrs. Coleman was Miss Stuart Mosby,
a daughter of the famous Confederate
cavalry officer. who played a prominent
part in the civil war. Mr.. Coleman was
for some time private secretary to Rep |
Bell of Colorado. Mrs. |
Coleman, ii is understood, preferred to
reside in the East. and for that reason !
Mr.. Coleman took up the practice OF
law in this city. He has an office in |
the Columbian Building and has earned
a good practice. !

Austin, Texas, January 26, 1902.
Messrs. VIM. S. Kelley, Chas. A.
Daley and John A. March,
Trustees Didtrict No. 1, Tom
Green County, San Angelo,
Texas.
Gentlemen:
l am in receipt of your letter
of the 18th inst, concerning the
crowded condition of the public
schools in San Angelo. You ask
which would be better: To incor.
porate tor shool purposes, or IN,
crease your area as an indepen.
dent school distaict.
l unhesitatingly answer that
it would be more advantageous
to the town of San Angelo to in
corporate for school purposes,
and to levy a tax of fourth OF
one PER cent (25c on the 800 val.
uation) on all taxable property,
for the erection of school sites;
and one half of one per cent (50c
on the 800 valuation) fer main.
tenance and support of the pub
lie schools. In an independent
school district the board Of trus.
tees have sole management and
control of the schools therein,
and are not subject in any wise
to the county superintendent,
except in the matter of taking
the census. All schools both
white and colored, in the town
would be under the jurisdiction
of one board of trustees and one
superintendent. You would be
able to use some of the funds
derived from local taxation fol-
janitors, insurance, purchasing
of supplies and appliances, and
other purposes necessary to the
, conduct of the schools, to be de-
termined by the trustees. Your
district, under the present sys
TEN, could not be extended
except by the consent of the
Commissioners Court, and fol
the four reasons mentioned ir
Section AZ of the School Laws
If you did not need the full
amount of one'fourth of one pei
cent for building, and one half o.
one per cent for maintenance
and support OF the schools, your
board of trustees could lew only
so much as would be necessary.
1t Is not necessary in an in
dependent district incorporated
for school purposes that thu
area of % square miles be lait
off in q square or rectangle; no,
does the law require that thu
town shall be located in thu
center; the area may be an ir
regular form. An Independent
school district may be created
out of parts of one or more com
mon school districts, it not be
ing necessary to secure a chang
in the line before holding al
election for such purpose. II
