HARTIGAN AND MULLER
MAY LOSE MEMBERSHIP
Recent Mishap on Fishing Trip Renders
Them Ineligible for Police
Fishing Club.

There is nothing but fish talk about
Police Headquarters nowadays, and the
number of police officials who are fisher
men is something astounding. Yester-
day the members of the detective bureau
net and organized what will in the fu-
ture be known as the Detective Ser
geants' Fishing Club
The regulations of the club are exceed
ingly strict, and forbid any member
from diverting his attention from his
rod and line. when on an angling expe-
dition. For this reason it is feared that
there are number of the sieuths who
will be blackbalied. as a result of their
recent experiences.
Among that number are Detective Ser
geants Tom Hartigan and Mike Muller,
both of whom have been away for five
days, so far, fishing at He'll Hole, Va
Rumor has it that these two WELL
known parties cast their lines in the
water Friday while bass fishing, but
instead of watching them, walked Of
to engage in conversation on police
business.
Suddenly there was tug at the lines
nearly bending them double, and both
sleuths made frog like jumps for their
respective reeds.
Unfortunately for them they both
missed their footing on the rocks and
fell overheard. After considerable Diff
ficulty they managed to reach terra
firma again. Having no other clothes TO
don. and chattering from the cold. the
two detectives decided to build fire ane
dry their clothes. During this trying or
deal, they were forced to walk about in
the condition of Adam and Eve in the
primeval garden. News of the accident
reached Headquarters, and Dad" Horne,
the president of the new fishing club an
nounced at o'clock rollcall yesterday
morning TO the members present, that
owing to the trifling manner of the two
absent detectives, Hartigan and Muller
he did not think it advisable TO let them
become enrolled as members OF the
new club.

FOUND GOLD CUFF BUTTON.
Returned to Mr.. Douglas Through the
Medium of The Times.

Mr.. w. J. Douglas, Engineer O.
Bridges of the District of Columbia
has his gold cuff button back.
He thought 1t was buried, demolished
lost to him forever under thousands of
tons of bricks and mortar when the old
powerhouse stack fell last Thursday
morning. The Evening Times, how
ever. was the medium which secured its
return to the engineer.
After the dust from the fallen stack
had settled. Lewis c. Fuller and c. w
Phillips, both of Baltimore, found Mr.
Douglas cuff with the shining precious
metal in it some twenty feet east of the
place where the chimney had tumbled.
The cuff had been lying with MIR.
Douglas coat on a stone directly in the
place where the stack fell. Mr.. Doug
las removed his coat, and himself to a
safe distance, gave the signal for the
blast, and then discovered that, he had
left the cuff in the path of destruction.
1t is now supposed that the wind from
the falling masonry was sufficient in
force to blow the cuff from beneath it
as it fell.
The men, who were here on pension
puSiueSS, anu WHO lOuHu ~, ulu uot hno"
to whom the cuff belonged until they
read the account of its being lost, in
The Evening Times last Thursday.
They immediately looked up the abode
of Mr.. Douglas. Mr.. Douglas lives at 1412
Twenty-ninth Street northwest. but
when they called he was not at home.
The next day they hunted him up at the
District Building. with the result that
Mr.. Douglas got his button back, and the
finders received a reward.

UNIQUE OPERATIONS or
A.GEORCIA MOONSHINBR
Ordinary Quart Milk Can
Used For Making Mash.
Smallest Plant Ever Captured Carried
Around in valise Ready
for Service.

Commissioner Yerkes, of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. has received from At
lanta, Ca, the smallest moonshinc dis
tiliery ever captured by revenue of
ficiais. Not only was the whisky outfit
captured, but the man who owned and
operated it was taken into custody at
the same time. The moonshiner. vith
his paraphernalia was arrested at Grant
Park. Atlanta, few days ago. In sight
of the monument to General McPhersons
and near the Soldiers Home.
The operations OF the moonshiner
were the most unique in the history OF
the Internal Revenue Service, and his
outfit is preserved IN the Internal Rev.
cnue Office here as souvenir.
The still in which the mash for tho
whisky was boiled was an ordinary
quart milk can The moonshiner, who
evidently was an old hand at the busi-
ness, had then secured an old gallon
can. in which prepared paint had form
erly had it's home.
With these two vessels he secured .
small copper worm, as 1t is called, con-
nected it by means of cap, and then
ran it through the gallon can.
Complete Outfit, Though Crude.
In this simple form the moonshineP
had a complete. though crude. outfit for
making corn whisky. He carried his
distillery in large valise, and in the
yalise he also had the grain mash in
bottles.
On meeting the thirsty Georgian. who
wanted drink OF moonshine, the moon
sinner would make off into the nearby
bushes. set up his little distillery, put
q fire under the quart can and In
short time turn out as many drinks az
his customer wanted. The mash, az
stated, is placed in the still proper,
with fire under It.
The vapor goes on through the cop
per worm, which is coiled number
of times.
This coiied copper passed through the
paint can, in which cold water had been
placed. Immediately upon the vapor
coming in contact with the cold wire
it condensed and became spirits
Cases have been known frequently in
the South where such little distii1eries
were operated at the homes of moon-
shiners and also among the noun
taineers serving terms in Federal pris-
ons for violating the internal revenue
laws and other offenses, but never be-
fore, so far as the record is known, has
a fnoonshiner ever attempted to carry
such an outfit around with him and
make whisky to order.

GIFT OF HUNGARIAN FLAG
MADE SUBJECT OF INQUIRY
If Emblem Was. Presented by Govern
ment Then Official Notice Will
Be Taken.

The State Department has taken cog
nizance of the report that the flag which
was brought to this country for presen-
tation to the Hungarian societies OF
New York was really the gift OF the
Hungarian government.
The flag bore an inscription bidding
all Magvars to remain faithful to their
fatherland, and as 1t was sent to natur-
allied Hungarian citizens OF this coun-
try, the statement that 1t was gift
from the government seems to demand
attention.
Acting Secretary of State Adee has,
therefore. written to Minister McCor-
mick asking him to make INQUIRIES and
ascertain the facts. II it turns out that
the flag was merely the present of pa
triotic societies, as is claimed. the mat
ter will at once be dropped.

Koch Theory Correct
Experience Has Proven That Con-
sumption Is Curable.

While the entire medical and scientific
world is still discussing the wonderful
discoveries of Prof. Koch, of Germany
it has been repeatedly proven that his
Tuberculne," which kills the germs o:
consumption, will positively cure that
terrible disease when inhaled, in com
bination with soothing, healing. oily
vapors, directly into the air pipes and
lungs.
Thousands of physicians all over the
world indorse Prof. Koch's discoveries,
which mark revolution in the method
of treating lung diseases.
1t has been demonstrated that the old
way of treating consumption by taking
medicine into the stomach has utterly
failed AS a matter of fact. this method
never cured single case of actual con-
sumption.
Hundreds of former sufferers from con-
sumption, asthma. bronehitis, and ca
tarrh, many of them residing in Wash
ington and vicinity, have been perma-
nently cured by this common sense
method of applying the remedy to the
very seat of the disease. Call and ex-
anime testimonials of these cured pa
tients.
DR.. Edward Koch's wonderful inhala-
tion apparatus, by means of which this
treatment is given, Is now in successful
operation in practically all the large
cities. The Washington office is at I30
Eleventh Street northwest, where con-
sultation, careful examination, and a
trial treatment are given absolutely
free. DR.. Koch himself personally visits
all his Offices in consultation. and an ap-
pointment can be made, II desired, to see
