SOME CHANGES MADE.
Committee Of Suspended Red Cross
Members to Publish Statement Monday

Committee Of Suspended Red Cross
Members to Publish Statement Monday
The members of the select committee of
the suspended members Of the National
Red Cross Society who were intrusted with
the work of preparing a statement Of the
position of the suspended members has
about concluded its labors, and will report
to the full committee at a meeting to be
held at the home of Miss Mabel Boardman
Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
The committee held meeting yesterday
afternoon at Miss Boardman's home, and
considered the reply that was received from
Mr.. Hilary A. Herbert, to whom the draft
of the statement had been sent after GER
tain changes were made In Mr. Herbert's
original copy.
The members Of the committee say the
statement will not be ready for the public
until the full meeting of the suspended
members is held Monday. Miss Boardman,
the secretary Of the select committee, said
this afternoon that the committee would
have nothing additional to give out until
after that meeting Monday.
1t has been learned, however. that Mr.
Herbert made several changes in the docu-
ment under consideration. 1t will be re-
membered that the matter was left TN his
hands in the first place and when he SUBJ
mttted draft Of the statement to the
committee 1t was altered in several par
dculars. 1t was regarded as proper that
Mr.. Herbert should have opportunity to see
these changes and the statement as sent
to him in Tennessee. He approved them
all, and further than this suggested several
alterations himself, on which the suspended
members will pass their judgment.
While the exact wording of the statement
is known only to the members of the COM
mittee which have prepared 1t, 1t Is never
theless generally understood that the COM
mittee intends to make known in an ex-
haustive address the position of the sus
pended members toward the society and
toward the so-called executive committee,
which suspended them and which they re-
fuse to recognize.

no detail is made more emphatic-that this

MOTION SUSTAINED
JUDGE AMDxRs0N DIRECTS
QUAaHufG on INDICTMENT.
Case of 0eorge \. Cadarr and Others
Against Whom There Was
Charge Of Conspiracy.

Justice Anderson. in Criminal Court No.
1. today sustained the motion Of the de-
PENDANTS that the indictment for conspiracy
against George E.. Cadarr. Edward Parker,
John j. Heating and John N. Myers be
quashed.
In sustaining the motion Justice An
derson based his action On the provisions
of section $50 of the code of law for the
District of Columbia, as follows:
Abandonment of prosecution-If any
person charged with a criminal offense
shall have been committed or held to bail
to await the action of the grand jury and
within nine months thereafter the grand
jury shall not have taken action On the
case, either by ignoring the charge or by
returning an indictment into the proper
court, the prosecution of such charge shall
be deemed to have been abandoned and
the accused shall be set free or his bail
discharged. as the case may be; provided,
however. that the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia. holding especial
term as a criminal court, or, in vacation,
any justice of said court. upon good cause
shown In writing. and, when practicable,
upon due notice to the accused. may from
time to time enlarge the time for the TAX
ing Of action In such case by the grand
jury
The Details Given.
George Cadarr. Edward Parker. John j.
Heating and John N. Myers were indicted
March 81. 1902, for conspiracy. They were
held in the Police Court April Is, 1901, to
await the action of the grand jury. The
indictment was not returned until eleven
months after the defendants were held.
The case grew out Of the removal from a
furnace of the Metropolitan Railroad Com
pany of bundles Of tickets placed therein
for destruction. Many of such tickets. 1t
was charged, were removed in an undam-
aged or slightly damaged condition. The
rescued tickets were disposed of to GER
tain conductors, it was alleged, who turned
them into the company, the conductors
retaining a proportion of the actual fares
collected by them from passengers.
Cadarr was in the employ of the COM
pany as engineer at the car house, and
Parker, Heating and Myers were con-
ductors.
Justice Anderson today also sustained a
motion of the defendant to discharge the
bail in the case of Lancelot A. Hartman,
indicted for setting up gaming table. "
Hartman was held May 6. 1901, to await
the action of the grand jury. but was not
indicted until March 81. 1902.
The United States attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia noted an appeal from the
ruling of Justice Anderson to the Court OF
Appeals in each of the foregoing cases.

WEAK SPOTS STRENGTHENED.
Immense Iron Bands Placed Around
Huge Smokestack.

The repairs to the huge smokestack Of
the bureau Of engraving and printing have
been completed by Mr.. McGill, to whom the
contract was awarded. The repairs con-
sisted in placing immense iron bands around
the big chimney from the bottom to the
top to strengthen weak spots that appeared
some time ago. The bands are about ten
feet apart at the bottom, but near the top
are six feet apart. The work is believed to
make the chimney perfectly safe for many
years to come. For a long time the con-
dition of the stack was such as to cause
uneasiness, and the supervising architect
office was called upon for a report as to the
danger. This report recommended that the
stack would be made safe by the placing
of iron bands around 1t.

al Deserted VilIage.

The idea of a town being so
thoroughly deserted that it could
be destroyed by fire without any
one knowing it for two days, seems
rather queer in these prosperous
days of easy communication, but
that is what happened to Montana
City, Mont, which was once an
enterprising placer camp of 1000
people.
The total number of Jews in the
world is estimated by the Amer.
lean Jewish Year Book at about
100000, of whom more than enc.
half are in Russia. OF the re-
mainder, about two-thirds are in
the United States and Austria
Hungary. In all Germany, in
spite of its Semitic agitation,
there are not as many Jews as
there are in the city of New York
alone. In the whole British en-
pire there are not one half as
many.
The ladies of this town should
do like the ladies of great many
other towns and cities. organize q
Town Improvement Society, and
appoint committees in every part
of town to urge the keeping of the
streets and sidewalks clean, to
beautify unsightly places, and to
improve generally the sanitary
condition of the town.

one. Nevertheless, they have been

The matter gathered together in
this manner is by far the best col.

Nearly every paper we pick up

Nearly every paper we pick up
these days has something to say
about good roads. There seems to
be good roads inspiration all over
the country. except in Mason coun-
ty. 1t is fact that the citizens of
this county lose thousands of dol
lars yearly on account of bad roads.
They are not able TO pull half a
load to market, are out longer, kill
their horses, break up their wag-
ons, strain themselves prying the
wheels out of mud. have their teeth
loosened and bones racked by driv-
ing over rocks and into cutters, to
say nothing of the moral degener.
acy owing to the great number of
of we'll selected cuss words that all
these things provoke. Fix the coun-
ty roads, gentlemen, SO that our
farmer friends can get into town in
all kinds of weather.
There is fun aplenty in the
world, but fun is not happiness.
The man who quarrels with his
wife and children and decieyes his
family has no real peace. The
man who lies and who has become
drunkard does not even respect
himself. The man who wears q
mask over his face and lives a
double life is insinoere in his deal
ings with men, knows nothing
about real peace. joy and happi-
ness.
