UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT.
Allegations Made by Man Detained
for Debt

petition for writ of habeas corpus was
filed this afternoon by John F. Costello,
who claims that he is unlawfully restrained
of his liberty by the United States marshal
for the District of Columbia. Costello was
sued for debt before justice of the peace
and judgment against him secured by the
Bokel, Gwynn, McKenney Co for $1OO.53.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus, it
is explained was filed for the purpose of
having issues framed and the question of an
alleged fraudulent conveyance by Costello
of his interest in certain real estate deter
minedEby a jury.
The case was recently passed upon by the
Court Of Appeals, the point being made,
among others, that the right to have cX-
ecution against the body in civil case
was removed by the code. The Court OF
Appeals took the view that the repeating
section of the code preserved the old prac
tice and procedure where it affected the
substantial rights of parties in actions be-
gun prior to the date the code went into
effect; that the right of execution is a sub
stantial right, and that so far as the Cos
tello case is concerned the old law should
apply.
Attorney Crandal Mackey appears for
Costello, while the Bokel, Gwynn, Mcken-
ney Co. is represented by Attorney Levi H.

Duplication Gooseberries.

Recently Mr.. Arthur T. Goldsborough of
Wesley Heights, D. c.. submitted speci-
mems of duplication gooseberries to the
United States Department of Agriculture
for it's opinion to their variety and
to get a statement regarding their size
Twenty-four Of these berries weighed 4-5
ounces. A twig. which Mr.. Goldsborough
also submitted, and which measured 6
inches in length. holding eighteen berries
weigher 4-5 ounces. The size of one Of
these berries was l IA inches long by / 1-S
inches In diameter, and 3-S inches in cir
conference.
Speaking Of this berry Mr.. G. B.
Bracket, pomologist at the Agricultural
Department, said: This is a remarkably
fine gooseberry, and the size and weight
of the berry is very unusual. If 1t proves
to be as prolific as the twig photographed
here seems to imply, it will be a most in
teresting variety for future planting"
Photographs paintings and models will be
made of the berry and placed on record at
the department..
Some years ago Mr.. Goldsborough called
the attention of the Department of Agri-
culture to the record breaking strawberries
he raised on his place at Wesley Heights.
At that time his specimens were said to be
the largest on record.

WORLDS SUPPLY OF SUGAR.
Indications Point to a Largely Over
stocked Market

1t is to be expected that the visible sup
ply of sugar in the world on August 81
Ghe end of the European season., 1908, will
continue to show an enormously livestock
ed market. This statement is made in a
report from Consul Diederich at Bremen,
Germany, dated May %, which was made
public at the State Department today. The
average shortage in this years sowing of
beets, the consul says, is about II per cent
but this decrease, he declares, would not
bring about such a diminution in the pro-
duction of sugar as to relieve the present
gutted market, especially if the United
States and the cane-growing countries
should increase their production.

DIR. DVORASHIN DEAD
he ATTENDED ALEXANDER II
WHEN FIRST WOUNDED.
Became Insane and Finally Died Mis-
erably in an Asylum in
Russia.


Correspondence of the Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, TUESDAY, June 10
A great local sensation has been caused
here by the death under distressing circum-
stances of DR.. Nicholas Nicholaivich Dvor-
ashin, the physician who rendered first as
sistance to the wounded Car Alexander II.
DR. Dvorashin possessed brilliant gifts and
high education, was a pioneer in some
branches of medicinal practice, and a cred
liable amateur painter and musician, with
al model of physical strength, beauty and
personal charm. He happened to be in
the office of the general staff, which faces
the palace square. when the wounded car
reached the palace, where the physician
rendered the first medical assistance For
this. and in recognition of his services as
military surgeon, a pension of SIS a
month was granted DR.. Dvorashin when
few years ago, his once brilliant mind be-
came clouded. His arrangement was scarcely
more than mania for bestowing charity.
Unless watched by his mother, by adop-
tion an English woman by birth, he would
give away all his money or spend his last
coin for supplies for the poor which he
would distribute with his own hand. He
had long ago dissipated in this manner all
his hereditary or acquired property, having
founded various night shelters, benevolent
work houses and the like.
In spite of the watchful care of his moth
er he fell into the hands of the police on
several occasions and was taken to local
insane asylum, but each time she managed
to secure his release. About three weeks
ago he frightened some elderly nuns through
harmless but misdirected attempt a char
ity. crowd of peasants. attracted by the
cries of the alarmed women, believed he
had prOfaned holy pictures and began beat
ing him. The physician defended himself
vigorously and became momentarily vio-
lently insane. He was taken to the insane
asylum before, but this time he was not
released. He contracted influenza and died
after seventeen days of suffering. Grave
charges of ill-treatment have been made
against the hospital officials in his case.

Asks for Transfer of Lamp.

B. II. Warner has requested the District
Commissioners to cause the street lamp re-
Gently removed from the southwest corner
of 18th and L streets northwest to be re-
placed in its former position. A report on
the matter from the electric department
states that the removal of he lamp was
made necessary IN order to make room for
the erection of the proposed fire alarm post
to be erected on the corner first named.

Retired on Pension.

The District Commissioners have ordered
the retirement of Private j. A. Mcdonald
of the police force, on a pension of $40 a
month, he being incapacitated from further
duty owing to Illness contracted in the line
of duty. 1t appears from the statement of
the surgeons that Private Mcdonald is suf-
fering with consumption, and that he will
be obliged to leave this climate in order
to benefit himself.

Avoids the Issue.

Philadelphia Record: 1t is not
strange that in order to avoid the is
sues of the present the republican
campaign text book should deal so
largely in fiction and attempt to dis
turb the ghosts of dead and buried
controversies. Some allowance must
be made at the same time for Chair
man Babcock's peculiar position. AS
the responsible author of a bill in
congress to curb the evil power of
the trusts by reduction or repeal of
the protective duties by which these
combinations despoil the American
people he could not in decency de-
fend the tariff which has imposed
these duties. Yet he is guilty at the
same time of admitting into his cam
paign text book n plea in regard to
trusts in free trade England of which
his own bill against the trusts is a
denial and refutatiOn. The deXterity
of straddling politicians is something
equal to their embarrassments, but
no political gymnastics Will enable
Chairman Babcock to evade the is
sues of this campaign.

Prominent Republican Changes


William \. Whitley, the reaper king
of Springfield, says he will vote the
democratic ticket at the next presi-
Dental election. He has decided that
only the removal or the reduction of
complete rule by the trusts.
"The democrats have lost by scat
tering too much," he said. "They
have had too many issues. They have
tried to cover too much ground. In
my Judgment the thing TO do is for
the party to adopt one issue to fight
on and stick to that with vim. That
issue is the tariff question. The peo-
pie are growing restless. They are
growing tired of trust domination, a
revulsion of sentiment is at hand.
You democrats want to take advan-
tage of it. If you do there are thous-
ands of republicans that are going to
vote with you. Every family is affect
ed by the trust. There is nothing you
can buy any more that is not carry
ing price arbitrarily fixed by n
trust"
The news that Mr.. Whitley has left
the republican party will be a sur
prise to thousands of people the
country over who have known him
for years as one of the leading advo-
Gates and warmest champions of the
Mckinley policy. Mr.. Whitley has
been one of the leaders of the repub-
lican party and as often as called on
he has made large. contributions to
the success of the principles embod-
led in its platforms. When he ran
the mammoth East Street Reaper
works at Springfield, at the time of
their completion the second largest
in the world, being surpassed in di-
mansions only by the great Krupp
gun works at Essen, Germany, he en-
plOyed 1900 men. A band of 40 or
more pieces was organized among the
workmen and every opportunity was
taken advantage of to spread the
doctrines of the party of Lincoln,
Garfield and Grant.
1t was not uncommon for Mr..
Whitley to charter two or three
trains and take his employees, headed
by the big band, to some neighboring
city to add to the success of a repub-
lican rally.

complaints have come from various

replace the soiled greenbacks with
bright, crisp new bills and supply the
people with clean, sanitary demo-
cratic hard money-the silver and

be a reform that would do away with

Anthracite is a name in itself and
does not qualify the word coal, as
camel (candle) and bituminous do.
1t is, therefore, proper to speak of
anthracite, not of anthracite coal;
whereas, it is not proper to speak of
bituminous without adding the word
coal. 1t is just as well to have this
information and be able to affect an
