THE ARMY POST BOARD.
RecOnveninE of General Officers Aft
q Months Recess,

HecOnyenfng of General Officers After
Months Recess.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles, president of the board
OF high ranking officers appointed to con-
slder the important question of military
posts and camps, called the members of
the board to order at 10 O. clock this morn
Ing In his Office at the headquarters of the
army, War Department. 1t was the first
meeting of the board since an adjournment
taken the latter part of December for the
purpose Of allowing several members of the
board to look closer into the conditions in
their respective territories in order to be
better equipped to pass upon recommended
lions for the abolishment, retention or es-
adjustment of military posts.
There were present, besides General Miles,
Major Generals Brooke Young and Mac
Arthur, Brigadier Generals Randall, Bates
and kobbe Colonel Randolph and Lieuten-
ant colonel Reber, recorder. Major General
Otis Is expected to arrive in this city today
board.
With the members provided with more
detailed information concerning the condi-
tions In their respective bailiwcks it is
thought that the work of the board can now
be pushed with much greater rapidity to-
ward the elimination of it's labors-a re-
port to Secretary Root, which is expected
to recommend very material change in
the present military post system of the
country. The board will hold daily ses-
sions, 1t is said, until the completion of it's
work, and will not confine itself to set
hours of adjournment.

BILL FOR RELIEF.
Commissioners Considering Measure
i'm Interest of bailey Estate.

Commissioners Considering Measure
in Interest of Bailey Estate.
The District Commissioners are again
considering bill for the relief of Elizabeth
w. Bailey, administrators of the estate of
Davis w. Bailey, deceased, introduced in
the Senate January by Senator Gallinger.
The case is known as the Bailey claim"
and has been before the Commissioners a
number of times. 1t is claim for COM
pensation for extra work and damages un-
der contract between the Commissioners
and the Bailey French Paving Company,
dated July 30 1879, to resurface certain
streets with asphalt. Davis w. Bailey was
the general agent of the company and
claimed to be the company itself, in fact.
He instituted an action at law against the
District for damages growing out of the
contract. Mr.. Bailey died June 10, 1883,
but the action was revived in the name of
his widow, who was appointed administra-
trix. In 1892 the Commissioners appointed
]. ]. Johnson referee in the case.
The referee reported $10,51S2O due the
claimant, and that report became the SUBJ
ject of a suit in the Supreme Court of the
District, in which judgment for the amount
court was sustained by the Court of APP
peals, but the decision of the Court of APP
peals was reversed by the Supreme Court
of the United States upon the technical
power to bind the District by common law
submission to the pending suit for breach
of contract
Commissioner Macfarland hasrecommend-
ed to his associates that "a favorable report
be made on the bill for the relief of Mrs Bal
ley in the sum mentioned. Mr.. Macfarland
is understood to take the ground that there
is nothing in the papers to lead the Com
missioners to infer that the Supreme Court
Of the District and the Court Of Appeals did
not thoroughly consider the merits of the
claim before affirming the referees award.
Neither have the Commissioners at their
command, Mr.. Macfarland states, any facts
bearing on the case that were not accessible
to those tribunals. Mr.. Macfarland says 1t
therefore seems that If Congress should not
deem the judgments of the Supreme Court
Of the District and of the Court Of Appeals
conclusive as to this claim, 1t should be re-
ferred to the United States Court of Claims
Commissioner John w. Ross has dissented
from favorable view of the case and ad-
heres to an adverse statement drawn up by
him some time ago. The papers in the case
will now go to Engineer Commissioner Bid
die for his action.

POLICE ON GUARD.
Report That German Ambassadors Re-

Report That German Ambassadors Re-
ceived Threatening Letter.
Policemen Buckingham and Waldron Of
the second precinct have been doing duty
about the vicinity of the residence of the
German ambassador, Herr Won Holleben,
No. 1435 Massachusetts avenue northwest,
for several days. 1t is rumored that the
officers were detailed there because the
ambassador had received threatening let
ter from New York. Police officials deny
any knowledge of the receipt of such a
letter.
The fact remains, however, that the two
policemen are on duty there, and 1t is
stated that one of them invariably accom-
panies Herr Won Holeben at a respectful
distance when he leaves his house. Sixteen
hours each day are spent about the house,
each officer remaining eight hours. Dis
cussing the question today, police officials
said that the officers had been detailed for
duty about Highland Terrace because of
complaints of the conduct of drivers and
others in the vicinity.

Law Student. Debate Injunction.

The National Law School Debating So
ciety Wednesday night discussed the ques-
ton affirming that federal injunctions in
labor disputes are contrary to the spirit Of
our Institutions
The main points of the affirmative were
as follows: First the judge enjoins men
from doing that which Of itself Is not a
crime. Second, The defendant is taken be-
fore the same judge, often a great dis
tance from the scene, is denied the right Of
trial by jury and the right Of defense
Third, The prisoner can be prosecuted GRIM
inaily after being punished for contempt.
Fourth, That the law provides punishment
for crimes committed and injunctions
should not be resorted to. The negative
combatted these propositions.
The question was decided In the affirma-
tive. The speakers were: Affirmative, ].
NJ Goodwin, H. w. Wheatley; negative, J.
B. Hoge, L. G. Julihn.
The judges were Representative George
Sutherland, Utah; Representative Geo. A.
Hutchins Maine; w. H. Turner of Virginia.
Other numbers of the program were:
Piano solo. '"Tancreda Overture RossinD,
J. Hartnett, jr.; recitation, "Sandalphon

MEETING OF BANKERS.
Local Association Gathers Mt q Soc
Function.

Local Association Gathers mt a Social
Function.
The midwfnter meeting of the Bankers
Association Of this city was held last even
ing at Barton's and was well attended by
the members. As designed by the commit
tee Of arrangements the occasion proved
to be one that was largely social. The op-
portunity thus afforded to the representa-
tives of the financial institutions of the
city to meet each other outside Of busi-
ness circles is one that seemed to be fully
appreciated. After the formal program the
time was given up to social intercourse,
and buffet lunch was served.
Mr.. Thomas Hyde, the president Of the
association, was in the chair. and brief ad-
dresses were made on subjects Of interest
to bankers, followed by discussion. The
act of Congress relative to negotiable in
struments was the theme Of an address by
Mr.. George G. Henning, president Of the
Traders National Bank. The advisability
of depositing in District banks the funds
OF the District, instead of the United States
treasury, was discussed by Mr.. E. Southard
Parker, the president Of the Metropolitan
National Bank. He said this subject was
orthy the serious consideration of the
citizens. In view Of the necessity of the
banks depositing government bonds to Sc
cure such deposits, 1t was doubtful whether
such change would be of advantage to
the banks.
The Ray amendment to the bankruptcy
law was the theme Of an address by MI.
L. M. Saunders, the president of the WASH
ington Savings Bank. who expressed him
self as opposed to the proposed change.
The members present at the meeting were
MI. Thomas Hyde, Mr.. Lewis J. Davis, Mr..
George c. Henning, Mr.. l.. M. Saunders,
Mr.. F. H. Smith, Mr.. c. H. Davidge, Mr.. A.
B. Ruff, Mr.. E. p Berry, Mr.. S. Thomas

of the association will be held in the audi
torium at Columbian University the even
ing of March g. Mr.. William A Kittredge
of New York, Mr.. Lawrence G. Kemp and
Mr.. Lewis ]. Davis will make addresses
After the meeting the members gathered
in group and enjoyed their cigars during
an informal chat. The subject Of the per-
sonal tax bill, as recently framed, came up,
and it was evident from the opinions ex
pressed that the banking interests Of the
city are opposed to a personal tax bill.

court that Hill got a passenger and Mid
dleton became jealous and slashed Hill
across the face with a whip. the end of
which struck HIM in the left eye.
Hill exhibited to the judge an eye which
was very much swollen
Your honor, I admit striking at Hill
with the whip, but really did not intend

fendant.
