GERMAN EMPEROR AT KEEL,
Many Honors are Shown Admiral
 Cotton and the Fleet.

Many Honors are shown Admiral
 Cotton and the Fleet.
 KEEL, Prussia, June 25-Emperor William arrived here at 6 o'clock last night on board the Hohenzollern. When the imperial yacht was sighted steam ing into Kiel harbor she had the stars and stripes flying from the after mast, and as she sailed by Rear Admiral Cot tons flagship, the Kearsarge, the inn perial colors floating at the stern were dipped three times. This courtesy, be- ing without precedent in the German navy, caused Rear Admiral Cotton at an audience he had later with the en- peror to thank his majesty in the name of the president of the United States for the hoaor shown to the American navy.
 The emperor's entrance into the har- Dor was the occasion for tremendous cannonade, each of the thirty-two war ships firing thirty three guns, the Amer jeans observing the German regulation for honoring the sovereign. As the smoke from the thousand guns blew aside the Hohenzollern entered the lane of warships, at the upper end of which were the American vessels. The en- peror stood alone on the upper bridge.
 IThe crews manning the crosstrees, turrets and sides of each of the Amer ican ships gave his majesty three cheers as the yacht passed, which he acknowledged by saluting continuous ly. The imperial colors were flown from the after mast of each American C11 Ahnor1 hn xuo a party of Americans, including Ambas- sador Tower, R. R. Hitt secretary of the Berlin embassy; Mir. and Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt and Mrs. Potts, wife of the United States naval attache.
 Earlier in the day Rear Admiral Cot ton had received telegram from the emperor saying his majesty would be pleased to receive him and the other American commanders as soon as pos Sible after his arrival Consequently the rear admiral assembled the cap tains on his flagship, and just as the Hohenzollern was attached to her mooring buoy Rear Admiral Cotton's barge reached the yachts gangway.
 Captain Usedom met Rear Admiral Cotton, Captains Walker Hemphill, Cornwell and McCrea, Lieutenant Illus sey of the admiraps staff and Naval Attache Potts at the head of the gang way and presented them to Emperor William, who was standing two or three steps away with his suit grouped behind him. His majesty shook hands and conversed for minute with each of the American officers, saying how glad he was to see them in German waters. Turning to Rear Admiral Cot ton, the emperor said:
 You were in the Monitor at Hamp- ton Roads, were you not?'
 Not in the Monitor, sir" replied the admiral, 'but in another ship which stuck in sand bank
 His majesty alluded to other inci- dents in Admiral Cotton's career ana said he wished to visit the Kearsarge and would be pleased to take lunch aboard her. Rear Admiral Cotton and his captains then retired

District Laundry Work.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

In the issue of your paper of about the
18th of November last the following article
was published: inferior iaundering-work
done for police department does not give
satisfaction Commissioner West has re-
ceived complaints from officers of the
metropolitan police force relative to the
laundry work now being done for the police
department, and Mr. West today approved
a recommendation of Mr.. 1Hargrove, deputy
property clerk thats'a repetition of such
work as complained of will result in the
laundering being done elsewhere at the ex-
pense of the present contractor. The con-
tract for the District laundry work was let
to the lowest bidder, the Harvard Laundry
Company, early in October of this year.
Several days ago Mai Sylvester appeared
in Commissioner Vests Office with pillow
case belonging to the department which had
been returned from the laundry and to
which numerous feathers still adhered. The
Commissioner called for specific complaints,
and Lieutenants Boyle and Jordan respond
ed. In his complaint Lieutenant Jordan
says: I have the honor to report that the
laundering of linen, etc, at this station now
being done by the Harvard laundry is very
unsatisfactory. Our pillows, sheets, ETC.,
are returned with no evidence Of having been
washed at all. The clothing is oilstained
and really dirty, bearing evidence of recent
use. The linen is In even worse condition
than that submitted by Lieutenant Boyle :"
Company, in the spirit of fair play ask
you to insert our statement. 1t is well
known that my company Is not a member OF
the laundry trust. Hence we have In
Cured the aninnosity of that august body,
and some of it's adherents have taken this
means to injure, and, If possible, to destroy
the competition which our company has es-
tablished. We received the contract for the
city laundry in fair contest, and have dis
charged our duty under the contract faith
fully. About the 10th Of November Com
missioner West notified me to appear at his
Office. called and he showed me four
pillow cases that he said had been handed
to him by Major Sylvester has samples of
the work that purported to come from our
laundry / told him that the pieces in ques-
lion had never been In our laundry, or any
other laundry. And I repeat the fact. /
further stated to the Commissioner that
would esteem it +. favor If he would send
some one to the laundry to inspect the work

the employees of the District

WARNING ISSUED.
Police to Have an Eye on the Merry
makers.

Major Sylvester today issued an order to
the members of the police department con-
corning the conduct of merry-makers who
throng the business section of the city the
few nights before Christmas, especially
Christmas eve. The order reads as follows:
"For several years it has been a practice
among certain classes Of young men and
boys to congregate in the vicinity of and
to enter stores in the business section of
the city Christmas eve and indulge in the
blowing of horns, ringing of COW bells and
uttering of cat calls. There are hundreds
OF citizens who by reason Of restricted en-
ployment are unable to make purchases I'M
til the night before Christmas. clerks in the
stores are hard worked and tired out and
anything In the way of disorderly conduct
or interference with those In trade during
these closing hours before Christmas should
be prevented.
ssThere is no excuse for such conduct. es-
pecially where interference with business
results and a strong reserve force of police
win be present in the business center. not
with a desire to make arrests, but who will
do SO II such interference with merchants
and their interests takes place.
/ parents and others can do much to pre-
vent trouble by giving timely advice to
those in their charge.

ARGUMENT FINISHED.
Demurrers to Indictment of Tyner and
Barrett,

Arguments begun late yesterday after
noon before Justice Pritchard in Criminal
Court No. 1, as stated in The Star, in con-
nection with the demurrers to the indict-
ments growing out of the Post Office De-
partment investigation. reported against
James N. Tyner and Harrison J. Barrett
were completed.
The arguments for the accused were
made by Attorney A. S. Worthington and
for the government by Assistant United
States Attorney Hugh T. Taggart. The
objections to the indictments are based
principally on the allegations that the
charges made against the defendants do
not involve the commission of a crime or
of criminal acts, but constitute mere con-
clusion of law. 1t is insisted further that
the section of the Revised Statutes upon
which in part, the indictments are based,
relates to schemes to defraud the govern
ment whereas the defendants say no allie
cation is made indicating how the govern
ment was to lose penny. This view Of
the case was pressed by Mr.. Worthington.
He argued that the defendants are alleged
to have conspired with other persons to
get money from certain other persons, but
that nowhere is II intimated that they
were to get anything from the government.
There could be, counsel insisted. no con-
victon under the indictments of charge
of "defrauding'' the United States.
In his reply Mr.. Taggart insisted that
the plan said to have been operated by
Tyner and Barrett was designed to defraud
the government in a very real sense. In
the first place, the defendants, he said
were government officers and the govern
ment paid them for honest; faithful and
competent service. When they arranged
not to render such service. but to operate
their offices In their own interests the gov
ernment was defrauded just that much.
Mr. Taggart commended. also. that In alleg-
ing conspiracy it was not necessary to de-
scribe the crime which the conspiracy Is de-
signed to carry out other than in general
terms. and he declared that this require
ment was fully met in the indictments to
which objection is made.
Justice Pritchard took the matter under
