ses were to be paid by Cochran. Thomas

ANIMAL SHOW GOES
TO ALEXANDRIA
misunderstanding Over License Causes
the Company to Pull Stakes
and Leave.

Shall fold their tents like the Ara bs
and as silently steal away"
Several hundred persons were disap-
pointed when they went to Thirteenth
and u Streets last night. where the Nor
ris & Rowe's trained animals were
scheduled to perform. Instead of find
ing at the corner of Thirteenth and
Streets a blazing mass of lights with
crowds of delighted children shouting at
the antics of the trained animals. ac-
companied by the boisterous voices OF
the hawkers of lemonade and peanuts
they found the tents OF the show being
rolled up preparatory to leaving and
long vans hauling the paraphernalia
down Fourteenth Street en- route to AL
exandria.
On account of the trouble In securing
a license they were unable to have a
parade or any performance yesterday
and the managers concluded to take
their show to Alexandria, where the
license Is not as high as it is in Wash
ington.
Several DAYS ago the advance agent
OF the show secured license under the
old law, the fee of which was s. a day,
not being eognizant of the rev law
which went into effect July last, which
out a circus license. which costs 5000 a
day. The ground at Thirteenth and L
Streets northwest was rented for the
period and the animals and other ac-
couterments arrived in town at a late
hour Wednesday night, according to
schedule.
Complaint was made by residents in
the vicinity of the show lot, and when
the Commissioners found that the prop
er license had not been issued they i'm
mediately revoked the permit. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Norris. one OF the pro-
prietOrs, had conference with Com
missioner Macfarland. but could secure
no concessions.
Lieutenant Jordan. in command of The
Eighth precinct, Informed the circus
people that they would be subject to ar
rest should they attempt to parade. and
violation of the law would subject them
to fine OF $40. Because OF this, 20
gether with the fact that the weather
was inclement, 1t was decided to give
no parade and no performance.
The management was either unsuc-
Cessful in its attempt to get the neces-
sary ground in the northeast or was dis
inclined 10 pay 5000 a day circus license

Mr. W. Hamilton Bayly, chief clerk
of the Pension Bureau, called at head
quarters yesterday to confer with
Mr. Warner as to the reception to be
given the veterans by Commissioner
Ware. At present all the plans for this
| event are tentative, but the prospect is
very attractive.
Reception in Pension Office Court.
Mr.. Bayly and his associates of the
committee. Mess-s. l.. ". Kelly and A.
D. Albert, contemplate a reception in the
Pension building court, at about 4
o'clock in the evening. in order to save
| the time OF the Commissioner and the
clerks as far as possible. The building
will be tastefully decorated and a band
of music furnished by the clerks them
selves. Such reception cannot fail to
be one of the most interesting features
OF the entire encampment.
In view of the alleged discomfort
among the ladies' of the organizations
who will participate in the reception of
General Torrance and the members of
the national encampment during the en-
campment, Mr.. Warner stated yesterday
that it had never been his purpose
to oppose the wishes of the ladies and
that If it was their desire to have the
reception in Convention Hall that hall
would be placed - their disposal. 1T
is my belief" he added. that the sur
roundings of the Arlington are such as
would commend the change to all inter
ested, but it remains for Mrs. Mussey
and her associates TO determine whether
the reception will be held at the Arling
ton or at Convention Hail."

HEAVY BOND DEMANDED
OF CORPORAL O'BRIEN
In Default of $4,000 He Is
Sent to Jail.
Will Not Discuss Charge of Perjury
at Least Until He Has Con-
suited Counsel.

Richard O'Brien. formerly a corporal

United States Volunteers, which did ser
vice In the Philippines during the Span
sh-American war. was yesterday com
mitted to Jail in default of $1,000 bond
TO await trial in October in the Supreme

The prisoner was arrested at North

Detective Michael Muller. OF the local
force. o'Brien opposed being extradited,
but after hearing before United States
Commission Wood at Pittsfeld, Mass.
he was released to the District authori-
ties. He WAS brought to Washington on
Wednesday night by Charles X. Darling,
United States marshal for the district of
Massachusetts,.
O'Brien was witness before the
standing committee OF the Senate which
investigated the work of the American
forces In the Philippine Islands. While
testifying he made some very startling
COlttTHlUR the CUUuutL Ol
officers and enlisted men connected with
the command to which he belonged, and
also relative to those of different com
mands. He charged that the officers hal
been extremely cruel to Filipino pris-
oners. both male and female, and said
that certain of the officers had withheld
part OF the supply of rations due the
enlisted men.
Bond Fixed at $4,000.
When brought before Justice Clabaugh

District Attorney Gould stated that the
prisoner admitted his identity, and ask
ed that he be committed to jail to await

baugh then called O'Brien before him
and asked II he wished to say any
thing. He said. mo; do not wish to
plead TO the indictment against me
until my counsel is present
Mr. O'Brien stated after he left the
courtroom that he has engaged Attor-
ney P. J. Ashe, formerly city solicitor at
North Adams. for his defense. Mr. Ashe

OF next week. and then O'Brien will be
arraigned.
Mr.. Could stated that he had received
letter from Ne. Ashe announcing his

OBrien's interests. The prisoner stated
that he has not as yet secured the ser
vices of a local attorney to assist Mr..
Ashe, and that nothing will be done in
that line until after the arrival of the
latter.
1t is expected that when Mr.. Ashe ar
rives in the city an effort will be made
to secure bail for O'Brien. The latter
was seen during his short stay at the
City Hall yesterday morning. but he de-
clined to discuss the indictment against
him in any way or to say what his de-
