The Recent Eric ton.

The recent friction between the
Hydraulion Fire Company and the
Board of Fire Wardens is thought to
have about run its course, and 1t is be-
lieved that conservatism is gradually
superseding the feeling so apparent a
few days ago on the part OF many
Some few members of the Hydraulion
are still protesting against the action OF
the wardens in refusing to confirm the
candidate for driver of the hose wagon
who had been endorsed by the company
One today in speaking to representative
of the Gazette implied that tunereal
atmosphere prevailed in the engine
house since the last meeting Of the war

absenting themselves. 1t is generally
believed, however, that the entente

Antitrust Meeting.

The National Theater in Washington
was crowded last night by an audience
that listened for more than two hours to
speeches on the antitrust question. The
meeting was held under the auspices OF
organized labor. The speakers included
Henry George, Representative F. E.
Shober, of New York; Representative
c. d. Van Duzerr, of Nevada Robert
S. Sharin and OWN J. Kindelon. At
torney General Knox and President
Roosevelt were arrsigned for alleged
failure to vigorously enforce the Sherman
antitrust law.
Resolutions were adopted urging a
national convention in Washington in
June. 1904, to adopt declaration of
first principles on tbetrust question, and
if expedient to nominate a candidate for
President, preferably William R. Hearst,
of New York, as a man prominently
worthy to be the peoples choice for
President.
There was display Of cOlOred lights
along the avenue and concert by Ha-
ley's orchestra. Long before the hour
at which the meeting was to be called to
order the house was filled with the ex-
ception of those seats set apart for the
delegation from Alexandria. This dele
CATION consists of $50 members of Will
liam Randolph Hearst Local, No. $50,
|. A. NJ, which arrived on special
electric train from this city few minu-
tes after s o'clock. The train was
handsomely decorated, and the delega-
ton, headed by Mohler's Band, marched
into the hall carrying transparency
bearing the inscription, "Down with
the trusts and ''No government by in
junction." Each member of the dele
CATION wore a small American flag and
carried lighted torch. The men were
under command of w. S. Belt, president
of the organization. Asthe special train
passed up King street it attracted much
attention 1t was made conspicuous by
red lights and the music of the band
brought many people into the streets.
On the stage of the theater were half
hundred of the prominent representatives
of organized labor in Washington, every
union in the city being represented.
These gentlemen acted as vice presidents
of the meeting. The presiding officer
was II. w. Sherman, president of the
Central Labor Union, who briefly intro
duced the various speakers of the even
ing. There was every manifestation OF
interest by the large crowd and the
speakers were frequently interrupted with
applause.
The meeting was significant in one re-
spect. and that was the invariable APP
plause that greeted the nance of Mr. Will
lam Randolph Hearst, elected to Con
gress al the last election from the
Eleventh New York District by phe-
nomenal majority.

Youthful Trespassers.

Officer Griffin this morning arrested
two boys living on south Lee street on
the charge of trespassing upon Yeates's
garden, now operated by Mr.. W. r.
Graves. They were later brought be-
fore the Mayor when it was alleged that
the depreciation of youngsters upon the
pear trees and cantaloupe patches had
become such an annoyance that it was
necessary to invoke the protection Of the
law. One witness testified to seeing the
BOYS in the dock emerge from the garden
yesterday evening. The Mayor con-
cluded to continue the case until some
older boys who were in the gang of
trespassers could be arrested. His
honor said there was chronic complaint
from the section of the city where these
boys reside, arEF some of the youths
whose names had been taken down by
acting Chief Knight have on other re-
cent occasions been before the Police
Court. He ntimated that the only eff
fectual deterrent would be committal to
the reform school near Richmond.

Mr.. Job Hawxhurst Resigns.

On account of impaired health, Mr..
Hawxhurst has filed his resignation as
postmaster at Fairfax Courthouse - a
position which he has held since 1868
with the exception of two terms, when
the Office was held by democrats. His
successor has not yet been appointed,
but it is generally understood that Mr..
Richard Farr will get the place. Mr..
Hawxhurst has been a prominent figure
in this vicinity since war times. In
1869 he was elected a member of the
House of Delegates from Fairfax. While
pronounced in his political convictions,
his course has been marked by cOnserva-
tism, and he has enjoyed the confidence
of all.
1Siuce the above was written it is
learned that Mr.. Hawxhurst has been
stricken with partial paralysis. He is
now 81 years old ].

Was it Birds Body Z?

There is some doubt as to whether the
body found floating in the river a day or
two ago was that of James Bird, a color
ed boy, who had been missing from his
home on Columbus street since Tuesday
morning, Notwithstanding the vivid
dream of the Buys father who saw in his
sleep the missing child and deceased
brother fishing. 1t will be remembered
that Detective TrumbO, of Washington,
said at the time that the remains CORES
pended to the description of colored
boy who was missing from his home in
Washington. The body was apparently
that of youth of about fifteen, while
the Bird boy was but nine years old.
The remains were buried today. They
were in an advanced stage Of decomposi-
ton and there was every evidence that
they had been in the water aboIt two
weeks. The Bird boy was not missed
until Tuesday, and had he been drowned
the body would have been in a fairly
good condition if caught the next day.
The boy life was insured, and when the
youths father went to DR.. Purvis, the
Coroner, last night for death certificate
so that he could collect the amount OF
the policy, the doctor refused to sign it,
as he entertained considerable doubt as
to whether or not the body found was
that of Bird.

BRYAN SUGGESTS CoCKERELL.--Un-
der the heading "Why Not Senator
Cockerell?" Mr.. Bryan says in the
forthcoming issue of his Commoner ;
"Whv not Francis Cockerell, CT Missouri
for president? His Christian character,
his long experience, his great ability and
his unquestioned integrity make him
worthy to be considered among those
eligible to democratic nomination. As
one who has been in harmony with his
party on every occasion, he would be ac-
ceptable to the Kansas City platform
democrats, and yet what reorganizer
could find a personal objection to him ?
His long service would disarmed criti-
cism, and his popularity would spread
as he became known. He is SO years OF
age, but young enough for service yet.
His service in the Confederate army
would not weaken him first because the
war is over and second, because his rec
o d has been such as to commend him
to those who wore the blue as we'll as
those who wore the gray" Following
the laudation of the Missouri Senator,
Mr. Bryan criticises the mention OF Sena-
tor German as presidential possibility.

SUIT AGAINST PLUMBERS AssoCIA-
TIoN. Charles Meighon, a plumber who
has instituted suit in Richmond against
the Master Plumbers Association for
IS, 900 damages, filed his declaration yes
terday. 1t alleges that the master plum
bers formed a malicious conspiracy by
which they agreed that they would force
all plumbers and plumbers supply deal
ers in Richmond to unite in their conspir-
acy. The scheme, it declares, was that
no plumber belonging to the union was
to be permitted to use any plumbing ma
terial belonging to the owner of the house
on which he was working. All material
used was to be furnished by the plum
Der, who was to buy only from a dealer
belonging to the union. Every merchant
who was a member of the union, it states,
was to make a discount of from 20 to 90
per cent. to union plumbers. Meighon
alleges that he refused to join the union,
and that he has been unable to purchase
supplies from dealers who are members,
though he made repeated efforts so to do.

MAD OXEN IN A HAT SToRE.-A
drove of oxen driven along Sixth street,
Reading, Pa, on their way to slaughter
Wednesday, caused intense excitement
near Washington street. A passing
street car disturbed them and they fed
in all directions. Three of them rushed
to the pavement and squeezed, by
mighty effort, into the single open door
of the wholesale hat store of @. IL.
Weland & Co, CONSERVATION seized the
employees, and while one Of the animals
began to ruminate upon the vicissitudes
of life, another, noting his reflection in

railing to give battle to his fancied foe.
The animals were finally lured out OF
the store with difficulty.

RUPT.
Edward L. Dryer filed petition in
bankruptcy with the clerk of the United
States District Court in New York yes
terday, naming liabilities of 1914, 1874
and assets of $3.50. His career has been
remarkable.
Born in Connecticut AZ years ago, he
received common-school education,
and at 25 went to Mexico, where he
developed 30, 900 acres of farming land
and built a railroad. In this he made
81. 900. 600. He then went to Chicago
and entered into wheat speculation, and
for sometime was known as the "Napo-
leon of the wheat pit" In his wheat
speculation, it is said, he made several
million dollars, but finally lost all.
In 1898, while looking over orange
groves in Florida, he met and married
the Duchess de Castelluccia, New
York woman, who many years previous
had married an Italian nobleman. The
duchess owned many acres OF orange
groves. She was about 70 and Dryer 80.
Nine months after the marriage Mrs.
DIVER died, leaving an eztate of more
than So, 900, 900. One of the properties
in New York was the Hotel Burlington,
Thirtieth street, near Fifth avenue.
She left Dryer so. He and a grand
daughter, the Countess de Calderrozzo,
contested the will, and for six years the
case was before the New York Surrogate,
who finally admitted the will to probate.
After the death of his aged wife Dwyer
travelled in the West, organizing mining
companies and large land companies.
Many of these are said to have returned
millions TO the investors, of which he
says he received nothing. According
to Jesse Rowe Dryers counsel, he dis
covered the silver mines in the state of
Zacatecas, Mexico, which are today
among the best-paying silver mines in
the world.
Dryer travelled all over the world,
and wherever there was land to be re-
claimed or cultivated or mining proper
ties to be developed he organized COM
pany.
Coming back to New York from Eu-
rope, in August, 1900, he enlisted in
the Marine Corps for term of three
years, and was sent to the Philippines.
While in Manila he was known as the
"MilIionaire Marine" After one year S
service in the Marine Corps friends OBJ
tanned for him an honorable discharge.
