INVASION OF sILvERsMITHs.
"PRIl Mall Gazette" Does Not Fear
the Americans.


LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Pail Mall Ga
zette" has made an investigation into the
report that American silversmiths we're
preparing to invade the English market
with their goods.
Hitherto the trouble has been the dif-
ficulty of obtaining the hall mark (the
official stamp Of the goldsmith's company
and other assay Offices in the United
kingdom) after the goods had been fin
1shed. The report was that the Americans
had arranged to overcome this difficulty
by shipping partly finished goods and hav-
ing>them hall marked. Then they would
be returned and finished.
The Gazette" made investigations in
the chief silversmith sections OF Sheffield
and London and found that the method
is not new. France, Russia. Germany. and
Austria adopted it some years age.
Such goods bear the additional mark F.
which shows that they are of foreign
manufacture.
The "Gazette's" investigator concludes
that American competition need NOT be
feared, because the double freight would
wipe out the profit, and American makers
would be obliged to comply with English
standards of quality, which would mean
that they would have to raise their own.
He adds that American taste and ma
ch'ne workmanship in precious metals
nave never been popular in Great Britain

MR.. THOMAS 7. KELLER DEAD.
Old and Capable Official of the State
Department..

Mr.. Thomas T. Keller, one Of the old
est and most capable of the officials of
the State Department, died Friday at his
home, 1910 Thirteenth Street northwest.
While his father died at over ninety
years OF age and his mother is still Iiv-
ing at the age of eighty-flve. Mr.. Keller
was only forty-four years old and the last
of eleven children, each of whom died be-
fore reaching forty-five years. 1t is said
that this fact greatly preyed upon his
mind
Mr.. Keller was a native Of Philadelphia
His career in official life began August
II, 1881, when he was appointed clerk to
the French and American Claims Com
mission. In 1854 he went to the State
Department and had since then constant
ly been in the service in this city. Dur
the incumbency of Mr. Cridler as Third
Assistant Secretary of State, Mr.. Keller
was his private clerk and was one of the
most trusted officials at the State De-
partment.
Last summer Mr.. Keller made trip to
Korea as a special deputy United States
marshal to bring back to this country
man named Flanagan, wanted on criminal
charges.
Mr.. Keller's illness was only Of two
weeks duration. He left a widow.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR
RAILWAY COMPANY.
REPORT OF COMPUTING ENGINEER.
Sixteenth Street Tracks Should
Have Been in Position July 1,
1eO1-DeIay in the Widen.
ing of Roadway.

somewhat troublesome question has
arisen in the District Engineer Depart
ment, as to the Interpretation of the
law requiring the Metropolitan Railway
Company to lay its track on old Six
teenth Street and Columbia Road extend
ed. The trouble seems to lie in estab-
fishing the time when the widening of
these highways went into effect according
to law
Mr.. c. B. Hunt, the Computing En-
gineer, has submitted report upon the
matter in which he calls the attention
of the Engineer Commissioner to the act
Of Congress approved June 6, 1900, provid-
ing for the extension of the lines Of the
railway showing that in section of the
law it is stipulated that the company
shall have the tracks laid and in opera
tion within one year from the date of the
widening Of old Sixteenth Street and
other highways.
Route of Tracks.
Mr.. Hunt describes the route the tracks
as along Columbia Road from Eighteenth
to old Sixteenth Street, and along Six
teenth Street from the Columbia Road to
Park Street
He also calls attention to the wording
of section 10 of the act, which states
that when the award of the jury Of con-
demnation is confirmed by the court, the
several assessments of benefits shall be-
come a lien upon the land, payable in
four equal installments, and that the
amounts awarded for damages shall be
paid to the owners of the land taken.
Hunt Takes a Stand.
In view of the provisions of the law
referred to Mr.. Hunt takes the ground
that the date of the confirmation Of the
findings Of the jury by the court is the
date Of the widening Of the highways, and
that within one year from that date 1t
is the intent Of the law that the railway
company should extend it's lines, and have
them in operation.
Mr. Hunt also states that the date of
the confirmation was July g. 1901, and 1t
is submitted that the company ought to
be informed of the requirementments of
the law.
Capt. H. c. Newcomer, Assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner takes another view
in his report upon the matter. He In
vites attention to the fact that there are
several parcels Of ground required for
the widening of these roadways which |
have not been paid for, as the parties |
have not yet called for the |
money.
May BE a Delay.
For the reason named Captain New |
conner is of the opinion that the roads |
cannot be said to be widened in the sense |
Of the law until the ownership of all the |
parcels is vested in the District, or until |
the amount involved for their payment |
is deposited with the court FOR the pay
ment of the lots.
Captain Newcomer suggests that the |
matter be referred to the City Solicitor |
for a ruling in order that the intent Of !
the law may be properly carried out.

LYNCHING IN KENTUCKY.
Small Mob Breaks Into Jail and
Hangs Negro.

SPRINGFIELD. KY, Jan. u-Jim
Mays, young negro, accused of attempt
ed criminal assault on Miss Junes. a
young white girl, was taken from the fail
here by mob and hanged. His body was
discovered hanging to limb in a school
house yard in town early this morning.
The mob was composed of few men
who came on horseback presumably from
the village of Simms, seven miles dis
tant, where the crime was committed.
The negro had attempted an assault on
the young lady in an outhouse, but was
frightened away by her screams. At the
gate he was caught by her brothers. and
some neighbors and badly beaten, but
was finally brought to town and surren-
dered to the officials.
The action of the mob was surprise to
the citizens. The Taller refused to give
up the keys and the mob broke into
blacksmith shop and secured tools with
which to break open the Jail DOORS

POLICEMAN SAVES CHILDREN.
Rescues Them From suaOcation in
q Burning House,

Policeman H. C. Stroman. OF the Tenth
precinct, yesterday rescued the two infant
children of Mary Gross, colored, from suf-
location in house at PA G Street north
west. They were locked up in the second
story front room Of the frame house, their
mother having gone to work
The officer was passing on the cars
when he saw smoke issuing from the
building. When he reached the front door
the house was filled with smoke and it
was with the greatest difficulty that he
CROPPED his way to the room where he
had been told the children were confined.
The door was locked, and he burst it
in. Beneath the crib he found the young
est child. who is barely eighteen months
old.
The other one. who is year older, was
lying upon the bed, it's head stuck down
in pillow.
The fire itself amounted to little, do
ing not more than s. damage

nearly as bad. In the Police Court all
trials by jury have been postponed until
the Court of Appeals of the District shall
have passed upon the question of the le-
gality of the organization of the grand
jury for the District.
II 1t is decided that the grand jury was
improperly empsneled. II follows that the
iuries in the Police Court. which were
drawn at the same time, are also Illegal.
1t was stated yesterday that little Cr no
business of any Importance has been done
by the new justices of the peace since
they have entered upon the duties of their
oflices.~
= One of the greatest difficulties with
which they have TO contend. and because
of which. litigants are the sufferers is
that under the code they have no power
to issue execution on any Judgment they
may render.
Another handicap under which the JUS
tees are laboring is that they are with
out power TO issue warrants for the ar
rest of persons and make them return
able to the Police Court. In many in
stances there were proceedings pending
before the old justices of the peace who
were legislated out of Office by the code.
The present justices, it is said have no
power or authority to continue them 10
final adjudication.
Doubt rs to Salary.
A matter of great Importance to the
justices themselves, however, is that
there is some doubt as to whether or not
they will receive their first payment on
their salaries when it becomes due. This
assumption is based on the statement that
no appropriation has been made for the
payment of the salaries.
Mr.. c. S. Bundy, one of the new JUS
tices, has written to the Commissioners
calling attention TO the fact that the code
no provision for the payment OF
the justices OF the peace created by it.
He requested that this be remedied by
provision in the deficiency appropriation
bill.

other ways. In addition to playing Ma

afternoon teas and club receptions, and
at least one lecture.

last evening that with the two final per-
formances today Mrs. CampbelPs receipts
for the two weeks of her engagement here

Killing Near Ardmore, 1. T.

ARDMORE, I. T, Jan. 11.-Four deputy
marshals, armed with rifles, hurriedly left
the city last night for Springer. in re-
sponse to a telephone message to United
States Marshal Hammond. which said that
two women and a man had been waylaid
and killed near Caddo Bridge. which is
on the Springer road.
The Washington times., 1902-01-12
May BE Illegal.

BY some persons who have considered
the matter it is contended that any act
done by the old grand jury after the code
went into effect on January 1, is just as
illegal as anything that might be done
by the jury organized before January l
under the code.
By the laws now governing the District
the penalties for certain offences have
been changed from what they were here
tofore. For instance. in cases Of man
slaughter the penalty is raised from
maximum of ten years imprisonment to
fifteen years, and in case of adultery,
where under the old law the penalty. was
Imprisonment, now il is fine or imprison-
ment.
Sets No Precedent.
In the case of the Indictment returned
by the grand jury on January 6, it hap
pens that no persons were indicted for
either manslaughter or adultery. This,
however. does not relieve the situation
as regards the validity of the act, or the
acts of the grand jury, for it is con-
tended that the nature of the Indictment
reported does not in any way legalize
the action of the grand jury.
Aside from the effect that the raising
of the question has had on the work of
the criminal courts, 1t is believed it will,
to a considerable extent, retard the trial
of the jury cases in the circuit branches
of the court There are several cases on
the docket ready for trial, the settle
ment of which involves the distribution
of praat amoIufs nf money
1t has been ocntended by some mem
bers OF the bar that no matter what the
decision of the Court of Appeals may be
In reference TO the legality of the grand
jury. the question OF its constitution

States Supreme Court for settlement.

On account of delay in the delivery of
