ROBBERY AND ASSAULT.
Charges Brought Against Two Menu
hers of Hospital Corps.

Harry O. Belmont and Arthur Faley, two
privates in the hospital corps, stationed at
the Washington barrack were arrested
Yesterday afternoon by Detectives Hean
and McNamee, in connection with the loss
by Miss Annie Farley residing at 5O7
Arch street, Philadelphia, of jewelry valued
at SIG and $31 in money.
Miss Farley reported to the police yester-
day that she was struck on the head near
the Baltimore and Potomac depot about 6
o'clock Saturday night, as she was prepar-
ing to enter the station to take train to
return to her home. She remembers being
placed in a cab and taken to a hotel, where
she subsequently, missed her JeWelry and
money. This statement resulted in the ar
rest of the soldiers. Miss Farley, being
without funds was made comfortable last
night at the house of detention.
The detectives learned that Miss Farley
had been taken to hotel near the corner
of Sd street and Virginia avenue southwest,
and description was obtained there of the
men who had been there with her. When
the men were questioned by the police they
said they had found Miss Farley lying on
the sidewalk near a park on Az street,
lust below Pennsylvania avenue, and that
she was apparently in a tit
Belmont and Foley recently returned from
duty in the Philippines, and when arrested
had in their possession about $50 in money.
This, they stated, they received In change
from $lOO bill before they met Miss Far
ley.
The jewelry which is alleged to have
been taken was found In the possession of
the men, but no statement has been made
by them as to how they came by it. They
state that there were a number of people
present when they picked Miss Farley from
the pavement They will have a hearing in
the Police Court Wednesday on a charge
Of larceny from the person.

MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Body of Missing Soldier Found IN
the River.

James Ryan, who enlisted in Company
l., Sd Battalion, United States Corps of
Engineers, and was stationed at the bar
racks in this city, disappeared from his
post of duty two months ago and was
reported on the books as a deserter. Sat-
urday afternoon about o'clock his body
was found floating in the river near the
foot of street southwest, and from the
condition OF the remains it is inferred
that death had occurred not long after
the mans disappearance.
When found Ryans body was clothed in
the uniform of the engineer corps, but the
Identification was not positive until De-
tectives Tyser and Trumbo made an in
vestigation. They found Ryan's laundry
marks on his collar and also some India
ink marks on his arms. These marks
tailed with those on the descriptive record
at the barracks and made his identifica-
ton complete.
The deceased man was thirty-two years
old. He enlisted in the engineer corps at
Cleveland, Ohio, and gave the name of Mrs.
Ricrdan, an aunt, as that of his nearest
relative. He had been drinking, it is be-
lieved, about the 14th of November, the
time of his disappearance, and friends
think he accidentally fell into the river.
Acting Coroner GlaZebrook failed to find
any evidence of violence about the body
and gave a certificate of accidental death.
The military authorities will inter the re-
mains at Arlington.

Negro Exhibit, at Jacksonville.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF Inc Evening Star.
| have read with great interest your
editorial in The Star of the Sd instant in
re of the negro exhibit at Charleston, and
it is in line with my views and experience
here for the past three months and forces
me to the conviction that the negro is
working out his own destiny, and that he
is making such rapid strides in the south
in all of the arts that he, has built city
within six months upon the ruins of the
disastrous fire in Jacksonville of May 3. l
have never seen the statement in print, but
nevertheless it is fact, that fully 50 per
cent of all the mechanical work and labor
in the rebuilding of Jacksonville has been
done by negro labor, and an active expert
ence of twenty-five years in the building
business juStifieS me In the opinion and
statement that 1t has been weld lone. The
manual training schools throughout the
south have been and turning out great
numbers of colored mechanics, and while
the great fire here entailed a loss Of over
SIT 600 to the property owners, many Of
whom lost their last dollar and may never
recoup 1t has been of inestimable value to
the negro and he was not slow to seize it,
and he has caused a city to spring, Phoe-
nix-like, from ashes. l am pleased to do
all that 1 can to give the negro his dues,
even though I have been lifelong demo-
man, irrespective Of his politics, to en-
courage these people to better their con-
ditions and to assist them in their honest
and earnest efforts to become useful citi-

was secured. The ceremony was performed
in the parsonage of the church, the minis
ter's wife and daughter being the only wit

MAcHlNIsrs AGAINST MERCER
Instruct Delegates to Central Labor
Unien to work for Reso-
l~utions.

At the regular meeting OF the local ma
chinists' lodge No. 81 at Labor temple last
night the name of David H. Mercer was
the subject OF much discussion. The ma
chinists are Convinced that Mr.. Mercer
played an important part In naming the
Fire and Police board and It was first
suggested to adopt resolutions s~den0uncipg
the congressman for his action In ignoring
organised labor In the makeup Of his new
board. After some discussion, however, by
which II was evident that the sentiment
was unanimous against Mercer, the lodge
decided. and so instructed its delegates to
Central Labor union, thdt the most effec-
tive method would be to have them work
for the adoption OF resolutions by the cen
trail body. setting forth the opposition OF
that organisation to both Savage and Mer-
Ger for their nagrant disregard Of the work
ingmen. H
Central Labor union meets next Friday
night, and as other organizations are pre-
pairing similar action as the machinists,
ringing resolutions exhibiting the altitude
Of organized labor toward David H. Mercer
are looked for. St ist
H. Stevenson made this statr.nent last
night;
IT wish you would say that the story
regarding my ambition to be street COM
missioner is absolutely without one par
tlcie Of truth and the originator of the
story either willfuily or ignorantly lied.
And As to my effort at forming a labor
party, you may say Kick Stevenson Is for
trades union always and for anything that
will down Dave Mercer, nrst. last and all
the time. That's my position n anybody
