ACCUSED DOCTOR HELD.
Charged With Operating CrimtnaiIy
ON WOman-She Dies.

Dr Thomas Leverdy, of No III East One
hundred red-and-fourteenth-st was arraigned in
the Harlem court yesterday, charged with hav-
ing performed a criminal operation on MISS
Alice Keeble. forty-two years old, of West
Brighton, Staten Island. The physician was ar
rested on Monday and taken to West Brighton
where the young woman said to be dying in
the Smith Infirmary He was discharged. how
ever the court holding that it had no jurisdic-
ton in the case, the operation having been per-
formed. 1t is alleged, in the Doctors office in
Harlem. Miss Keeble died last night
Magistrate Baker yesterday held the prisoner
in 81 900 bail for examination on July 13. 1t Is
alleged that the operation was performed on
June 10 and that last week the young woman
made an ante-mortem statement in which she
accused DR.. Leverdy.
Miss Keeble accused Alexander Perry of be-
ing the cause of her alleged visit to the Harlem
doctor. He is nineteen years old, and the son
of w. S. Perry, a Broad-st. broker. whose home
is in Lenox Court, settlement back of New
Brighton Village, on Staten Island. For about
eighteen years Miss Keebe had been in the en-
pIoy Of the Perry family, and had, II is declared
been treated much as a member of the family
The youth had been in her charge when he was
little more than a baby and the other FerrE
children also had been for years in her care .
w. S. Perry says that as soon as he hearo OF
the accusation against his son he questioned
him at length ana the youth auniilIeu IlIal III
October there had been a troublesome sltua-
tion and that the woman was taken TO a doctor S
office Mr.. Perry says that Miss heeble re-
mained in his family until February, when she
left the house for a visit TO her relatives IN
England Mr Perry says his family did not
know Miss Keeble had returned to this country
until word reached them that Alexander was
accused. 1t not before March that she re
turned. Mr. Perry says he will try to ascertain
lust when she returned from England. he
thinks that 1t can eventually be SHOWN that
she reached this country not long before the
alleged operation.
Young Perry is missing. His father says that
at midnight on Sunday night detectives came
to his house to see his son. but had no search
warrants They left it without entering. He
says that Monday while at business he was
hectored by two detectives from a Manhattan
precinct. These men. he says. called on him and
threatened to arrest him on suspicion OF being
the Perry they wanted. They hesitated when
he was defiant and invited them TO make the
arrest, promising to sue them and the city II
he was arrested.

SERIOUSLY HURT.
Railway Brakeman Knocked Down by
Yard Engine.


William r. Jeffries, brakeman, in the
employ of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad. was in the Anacostia
freight yard last night when an accident
occurred. and he was knocked down by one
of the yard engines. The brakeman was
unconscious when picked up. and the rail-
road employees thought he was dead.
He was removed to the New Jersey ave-
nue. yard and the dead wagon summoned.
Coroner hewitt reached the yard about
the time the wagon arrived. and he saw at
a glance that the man was still living. The
mistake had already caused some delay in
getting the victim of the accident to the
hospital, and the superintendent of the
morgue assisted him into the dead wagon
and hurried him to Providence Hospital
The only outward sign of injury was a
severe cut about his left ear The man was
suffering from shock and possible injury to
his skull.
At the hospital the surgeons found that
his condition was extremely critical, al
though more signs of life were evident than
when he was picked up by his fellow-work
men. This morning the injured man was
still unconscious. Jeffries is thirty-two
years old. His home is In Alexandria,

SUGGESTION APPROVED.
Police Investigating Charges Of Dump.
infon Private Property.

Col Joh1 eBiddte, the Engineer Commits
sioner. has informed his associates of the
District bomd that an examination of the
banks OF Rock creek south Of the Massa-
chusets avenue bridge reveals that in many
instances the dumping on private property
is so close to the creek that part OF the
material dumped falls into the creek bot
tom. In other cases it seemed that the
side slopes are SO steep as to make it dan
gerous through part of the earth falling
down in mass into the water.
II recommend" says Col. Biddle. ''that
the engineer department be authorized to
have a thorough investigation made of
these conditions and afterward that the
police department be instructed to see that
whatever recommendations are approved
be carried out This does not refer to the
dumping OF Objectionable material. about
which some complaint has been made.

doubt OF the ABILITY of the government to
put them doWnt and also the remnants of
the Boxer element in Chill province. where
the disorders are confined to very few
districts. az
Regarding fh6 question of Chinese immi-
grafton into the United States the minister
said that he had been incorrectly reported
In interviews which had appeared In print
since his arrival in the United States. He
expressed the hope that In this matter the
United States government would do just
what Is right and that there might be an
ameloriation sthe existing Chinese ex-
clusion laws. The minister will present his
credentials to Secretary Hay in few days.
Educated in This Country.

Railway Files Protest.

The Washington Railway and Electric
Company has protested to the Commission
ers against any charge being made against
it for the resurfacing Of the roadway of g
street between North Capitol and 1st streets.
1t was claimed that the resurfacing was
made necessary because of the unusual
wear and tear on the pavement incident to
the construction of the new government
printing Office. The Commissioners will re-
ply to the company that they have no dis
erection but to assess the railroad companies
for any paving done within their tracks or
two feet adjacent thereto.

are all right they are now. The only
drawback to the course is the low ground
along the back side and around the lower
turn. This was plainly apparent on the
opening day. when the horses splashed
through water almost knee deep at some
points. 1t is proposed now to raise TINS
part of the course some twelve or fifteen
inches. This done. with the jumps in their
present state of perfection, the course Will
