The trial Of Policemen Allen, Smith, Rob
erts and Lyles for using unnecessary force
in effecting the arrest OF Mr.. Thomas
Rowen on the night OF July II was heard
before Mayor Simpson in the police court
yesterday evening at o'clock and lasted
until 7:+O o lock About twentyeight wit
nesses We're examined. Mr.. Rowen was un-
;.voidably absent from the trial. but the
mayor gave the substance of his evidence
before him at the previous trial. Although
there We're some conflicting statements. the
l.eponderance of the evidence was that
Rowen had actually insulted the officer.
and that he had resisted arrest, fighting
vigorously all the time, and, according to
the testimony of cx-Policeman Wilkinson,
the officers were justified in using the force
they did to overcome Rowen.
The police were represented by Attorneys
Samuel G. Brent. Lewis II. Machen and
Gardner L. Boothe. After the examination
of the witnesses Mr.. Marhen cited "A decl-
sion of the Virginia court of appeals, bear-
Ing directly on THIS case, and then sub
nlitted 1t to the mayor.
In summing up the case the mayor SAID
that although the incident was to be great
ly regretted. yet the officers had acted en-
tirely within their province In making the
arrest and In using the force necessary to
subdue Rowen Therefore the case was
dismissed

1t has been ,umored here that the authori-

LOCAL REAL ESTATE.

The property known as 1902 H street
has been purchased by Mr.. Thos. F.
Walsh from Mr. Joseph E., Willard. With
q frontage of 80 feet 10 inches and a
depth of little over 80 feet, the total
area is 1851 square feet. 1t is understood
that the price paid was nearly $50 per
square foot. AS the property adjoins the
Fl street portion of the Oxford Hotel,
which is owned by Mr.. Walsh, and car
ries with 1t right of way through a
small alley to 14th street, this pur-
chase gives to Mr.. Walsh the control
of the entire frontage on the west
side of 14th street between New York ave-
nue. and H street He already owns good
frontages ON both of those, streets and 1T
is not unlikely that some time he will erect
a handsome structure there. AS the pres
ent lease on the oxford Hotel has several
years yet to run, nothing will be done until
after the expiration of that time.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.

There are evidences that some of Chief Geraid's friends want him to run for Mayor. Communications from some of them in The Evening Journal arc advis- ing his candidacy.
 It is an excellent suggestion. The Ad- vertiser welcomes 1t, and hopes they will prevail upon him to enter the crowded field. In fact, The Advertiser enthusias. ticaliy endorses the proposition.
 This. of course. does not mean that The Advertiser would support him. Our idea is that his candidacy would simplify matters. would crystalline the situation, would make the issues sharp and clear. The race could then quickly be narrowed to two mon--Chief Gerald standing for the existing order of things and some one else for a new regime There is no further need of figureheads being put for. ward: it would be far better for the man who has played the automatons on the chessboard so long to come to the front.
 Chief Gerald is very long, headed, shrewd leader. and he may be too cau- tious, too willy. to take such bold step. However, with proper amount of press ing on the part of his friends, he might yield By all means let the pressing go on.
