TREASURER WILLIAMSS REPLY.
He Convinces Department That He Hs
No Int ention to Defraud.

WASHINGTON, April 2i.-william p. VIII
liams, Assistant Treasurer Of the United
States at Chicago. who has recently had
frequent conferences with Secretary Shaw
In regard to the affairs Of his Office. has
filed written reply to the charges recently
made against him.
These charges were never regarded by
the Secretary as very serious In character,
involving as they did technical complaints
against his administration. For instance,
II was said that he had carried on the books
OF the Assistant Treasurer's Office for some
time a shortage OF 5000, owing to the ac-
ceptance Of short-weight coins:
Mr.. Williams has convinced Secretary
Shaw that he was carrying this shortage
merely as a sort Of suspense account, and
that there was no intention TO defraud the
Government in any way.
The Illinois Senators are anxious to have
a successor to Mr.. Williams appointed. but
the reasons for the desired change are
declared to be Of political character.

FILE THEIR ANSWER.
Takoma Park officials Respond to Com
plant of r: s. Turner.

The answer of the mayor and council of
Takoma Park and John B. Kinnear to the
bill of complaint of Robert s. Turner, who
asks for an injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from cutting telegraph wires lead
ing to his resort at Wildwood. has been
filed in the county court at Rockville. The
authorities of Takoma Park in their answer
claim that the plaintiffs bill was filed for
the express purpose Of deceiving the court,
and thus securing the protection of the re-
straining order, which was previously
issued, in order that he might continue his
unlawful business while the hands OF the
defendants were tied by the order Of the
court.acs
The defendants further aver that the
complainant desires as his patrons the
sporting element of Washington city, and
since the rigid enforcement of the laws
against gambling in the District Of Column
bia prevent the operation of such business
within the District, the plaintiff went into
Montgomery county with certain asso-
ctates and established pool ROOM which
was known as the Riverview Turf Club, on
the Conduit road near Cabin John Hotel.
1t is further declared in the answer that
Turner was indicted by the grand jury of
Montgomery county for gambling, and that
he pleaded guilty to the charges. and that
the court was lenient in imposing sentence,
the plaintiff assuring the court that he had
desisted from his unlawful business in the
county.
From statements made by the counsel for
the Takoma Park authorities 1t is expected
that the case will be warmly contested
since the authorities believe that the COM
plainant has no right at law to raise legal
barriers which will restrain the town from
preventing Turner's carrying on his busi-
ness against the wishes of the citizens of
the neighborhood.

THE THEATER.
Columbia Theater.

Despite the efforts Of the current drama

liable offerings that stock company can
present. Written with no purpose Of stellar
exploitation, 1t nevertheless gives oppor-
tunities for character depletion Tar more
brilliant than those offered by the made
to-order and guaranteed-to-ft authors The
character of Eccles is the one which stands
forth most conspicuously. It was played
last night by Robert Ferguson in manner
which moved the audience to so much ad-
miration that on one or two occasions his
scenes were interrupted by applause. MI.
Ferguson's idea of the part is broad and
uncompromising; study in total depravity.
He leaves no traces Of the refinement which
Eccles should have possessed in earlier
life IN order to rear SO cultured and high
Esther displayed the same intelligence and
sympathy which have made her other per-
formances interesting. Her successes thus
far have fully justified the management's
determination to present her in Camille. !"
despite the comparisons challenged by a
performance Of the play. Mr.. Ormonde
made a graceful hero. Geoffrey Stein
gave an excellent account Of himself as
Sam Gerrfdge. Miss Grace Atwell, who
has hitherto been playing exceedingly de-
mure roles, emerged into soubrettedom like
butterfly from the chrysalis. Miss Butler
was properly stately as the marquise. The
performance met with obvious approval.

sponsible for the wound on SCOTS face
and she was escorted to the fourth precinct

was preferred against her. Carrie secured
her release on $40 collateral. which was for

1.-THE Mascot" that familiar comic opera
dealing with pastoral and court life during
the fifteenth century and with the super

for the entertainment Of the audiences at
Chase's Theater this week. 1.-The Mascot
has been popular since the date Of its in
itial production many years ago. AS 1t had
not been presented here for some time
theatergoers were afforded the opportunity
of forgetting the work to the extent that
to attend the performance now is to enjoy
1t substantially as much as though the
opera was an entirely new offering. The
revival is entirely creditable. Mr.. Aborn is

Collection at Church League Games.

At a meeting of the board Of directors
Of the Church League Saturday evening
it was decided to take up collections at all
future games. beginning with last evening.
This was done reluctantly, as the young
men wished the organization to be entirely
supporting and the action was taken
only after 1t was found impossible to meet
the heavy expenses of the league by assess
ments and contributions from the church
members, notwithstanding their very gen.
erous assistance.
The cost incident to building the grand
stand, equipping the players with uniforms
bats balls. ETC., has aggregated several
hundred dollars. and 1t is believed that
when 1t Is known that the league is about
500 in arrears, the spectators will respond
heartily and cheerfully to the call for aid
in defraying current and past expenses
