out Leave

Privates III. W. Cover and W. A. Fraser
of the police force have been fined $50 each
by the Commissioners for absence from re-
serve duty without leave. In forwarding
the trial papers Major Sylvester said the
fact was clearly established that the men
were absent from duty without leave, which
placed them in a position for adverse criti-
cism, to say the least. charge Of drink
ing was not substantiated. The record Of
Private Fraser has been clear up to the
present time. but Major Sylvester says Pri-
vate Cover has been repeatedly warned, and
he suggested that any further violation of
the regulations would lead to a recommen-
dation for his removal from the force.

o'clock this afternoon. The physician re-
manned with his patient about half an
hour When he was about to leave he
stated to Star reporter that MIR. Reed s.
temperature was 100; pulse. 81; respiration
80 When asked as to the prevailing symp-
toms. the physician said that the appen-
dicitis is rapidly subsiding. but that kidney
complications were fast developing.
The doctor added that, in fact the kidney
trouble is the most alarming feature of Mr..
Reeds sickness. DR.. Gardner also stated
that he saw no indications which might
warrant an operation. The physician SEEM
sd much encouraged over the fact that this
method of treatment would not have TO De
resorted to, but he laid particular stress
upon the fact that he and his associates In
the case were watching the latest compli-
cations very closely. As he drove away
from the hotel, he said he would call upon
the patient again at 6 oclock this evening.
Mrs. Reed and her daughter, Miss kittie,

Very truly yours,
" BALDWIN JOHNSON.
A Cooperative Company Proposed.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The one question of absorbing and uni
yersal interest in Washington at this time
is when where and how are we to obtain
coal?' Without seeking to anticipate the
nature of the report or recommendations
which the committee of inquiry named by
the District Commissioners may bring in,
and without discourtesy to those gentlemen,
1t seems to the writer that the general pub
lie would do well to prepare for prompt and
effective action in their own interests, as
soon as the result of the investigation is
announced.
One thing has already been made reason
ably clear: If we wait for local dealers to
come to the rescue, we shall Invite disaster
We have heard that fiinty-hearted mer-
chants in New York and other wicked cities
combine to take cruel advantage Of the
necessities of the people, and extort the
highest prices obtafnable; but no one
acquainted with the benevolent nature of
most Washington dealers would think of
attributing to them such sordid motives.
Nevertheless, the need for early and de-
csive action on the part of-their, customers
for mutual protection is urgent.
When the citizens of Knoxville, Tenn,
much smaller city to tae south Of Wash
ington. found themselves confronted with
similar situation short time ago, they de-
cded to establish public coal yards. Let
us follow their wise example. Call meet
10GS Tie e1upiOycS III The various gov
ernment departments: appoint committees
with authority 10 circulate subscription
lists, to confer with other similar bodies
formulate a plan of united action. make
contracts for the purchase and distribution
Of coal. The writer specifies the depart
ments only because the organization OF
these great bodies of wage earners is Pc
cuiiarly favorable to an early and concert
ed movement, which wonid form nucleus
for other cooperative associations having
the same object. II 1t be true, as stated,
that the great coal companies refuse to sell
to Washington merchants without Salts
factory pledge that the latter will not ex-
act profit higher than 81 or SIPS per ton,
they may be induced to sell directly to the
representatives Of great cooperative
club. If they refuse to fill orders for lots
of two or three car loads. they may take
very different view of cash offer for
Thousand tons.
The writer hopes that these suggestions
may receive favorable consideration from
the public. and that meetings may be called
without unnecessary delay. to discuss and
arrange preliminarfes. F. III. RAINEY.

KEEPS NAVAL SECRETS.
Secretary Moody Refuses Permission
for Foreigner to Inspect Navy.

Washington, July 14.-Secretary
Moody has denied the request of AN
attache OF foreign government mere
to inspect the naval coalinS station
at l1renchman's Bay, Maine. In the
future the privilege of visiting nava'
stations will be somewhat curtailed,
largely the result of the action of the

visit for.iiications along the coast OF
Florida Thereupon he went to Tam
pa, chartered a tug and made sound
ings in the waters off the fortilications
No official cognizance was taken OF TN
matter The officers action. however
was regarded as exceeding the bounds
of diplomatic courtesy.
Since the Spanish American war
foreign governments have assigned
military officers possessed of high tech
nical skill TO the post of attaches OF
legations and embassies here. AS a rule
the attaches have been afforded CON
siderable latitude in the matter of Wis
!tins military and naval posts and sta
lions. Their privileges here are much
greater than those enjoyed by United
States military attaches in foreign
lands.
Secretary Moody has come TO the
conclusion that there has been too
much latitude given them. and intends
to officially make the inner workings
of the naval stations somewhat more
private than heretofore. But no mat
ter what precautions may be taken,
nothing short of rigid personal inspec-
tion OF all visitors, such as prevails
during war, can prevent foreigners from

Foreign experts can easily disguise
themselves as laborers, mechanics OF
