TWENTY EIGHT CASES
INFRACTIONS OF SMOKE LAW BE-
FORE POLICE COURT.

Twenty-eight informations alleging viola
tions of the smoke law against fourteen
business men were filed in the Police Court
Yesterday afternoon. The warrants in the
cases were turned over to the police, ana
some of the cases may be tried In the 70
lice Court tomorrow. Lindley Il. Sinclair,
superintendent of the Potomac Electric
Power Company. is named as defendant IN
seven cases. This plant is at 1ith and Is
streets northwest. and is the one to which
President Roosevelt recently called atten-
ton.
Four charges were preferred against John
o. Evans for alleged violations of the law
at the Evans bull ling on New York averue,
and three against ]. n. c. Graham. super
intendent of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company. Myron NJ. Cady, SUI
perintendent of the Atlantic building; John
l.. and Charles III. Weaver OF the Garheld
apartment house, and w. Henderson Moses

with two violations.
The defendants against whom only one
charge was filed are Franklin v. kiiiian.

1t is regarded as probable that number
of the defendants will demand jury trials.
This will mean delay In the hearing of them
and should all of them make the demand
some of the trials may be delayed severai
months owing to the number of other ca ses
before the court. Jury trials are only feld
four days each week, and then only wlen
there is work for the juries, and 1t would
hardly be possible to try more than SIX
cases in a week. On account of the interest
shown in the matter by the President, how
ever, the court may make a special effort
tn advance the trials.

THREE WARM CONTESTS
COMING FIGHTS Fsk SEATS In
THE UNITED sTATEs SENATE.

Contests over United States senatorships
in several states Will interest the poll
ticians from next week on, most of them
inning through the month of January.
during Which time the legislatures Will be
in session. Minnesota, Delaware and Wis
corsin at this time seem to promise the
most interesting fights.
The Delaware contest, which, like the
poor, we have always with US, is raging
fiercely today, Mr.. Addicks starting in
upon his perennial campaign for the sem
atorship. Ostensibly, the scrimmage at
Dover is over the distribution of state
patronage, but at the back of it is the Ad-
dicks fight. He wants to come to the Sem
ate and the opposition faction in the re-
publican party desires Col. De Pont or
some one acceptable to him to be sent.
The dispatches from Dover say that the
Addicks faction numbering twenty-five out
of the thrty-one republican legislators,
have demanded two-thrds of the offices,
which demand is refused by the minority
faction and general deadlock is ex-
pected.
In Minnesota it is a three-cornered fight
between Senator Clapp for reelection and
Governor Van SAINT ana Judge ]. B. Gill

back of him. Senator Clapp does not have
the entire support of the st. Paul and
Ramsay county delegation, and lit is said
that the presence OF Governor Van SAINT in
the fight splits up the country support of
Senator Clapp. The political wiseacres are
not yet forecasting the outcime of the
fight,
In Wisconsin Senator Quarles is making
what is conceded to be a hopeless Strug-
gle for reelection. The control of the leg
islature by the La Toilette faction fore
shadows his defeat, it is predicted. But
up to this time the La Toilette men have
not agreed among themselves as to the sem
atorship Representative Cooper, Repre-
sentative Esch and Mr. Isaac y. Stevenson
are in the race and each claims good sup
port
1t is not believed that Governor La Fol-
lette will permit the senatorship to go to
the opposition through sdissenson in his
own faction, and after some preliminary
sparring and a show of, Independence on
the partt of the electorate he is expected
to designate the winner.

of the Academy, the commandant OF cadets
is the most important officer at the insti-
tuition. Lieut.. Col. Treat has served in
that capacity most efficiently since Augu-t,
1900.
Lieut.. Col. Howe is a native of Texas
and was graduated from the Military Acad-
emy in the class of June, 1888. His entire
service in the regular army has been with
the cavalry arm. He reached the grade of
captain of the 9th Cavalry in February,
1901. He was somewhat prominent during
the Spanish war and the subsequent insur-
rection in the Philippines, having first
served as captain and assistant adjutant
general of volunteers and afterward as
lieutenant colonel. Bath United States Vol
unteer Infantry. For special services he
was appointed brigadier general of voun-
teers in June. 1901, and was honorably mus
tered out in that INK June 80 following.
Subsequently he organized and commanded
in the rank of major the Porto Rico Pro-
visional Regiment of Infantry.
Lieut.. Col. Howe was one OF the off,

two searching Investigations one conducted
in this country and the other conducted in
the Philippines, and resulted in the COM

that General Miles based his original ale

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES.
Senate Committee is Expected to Take
Them Up Next Week.

The Senate committee on foreign relations
has not yet taken up the several arbitra-
tton treaties negotiated last fall. and sent
to the Senate before the holiday recess. 1t
is expected that meeting of the committee
will be held next week. when these treaties
will be considered and favOrably reported.
Several southern senators who have been
examining them have raised the question
as to whether under them the bonds of
southern states, issued during the recon-
struction period, could be arbtrated and
declared valid They have given notice
that if the treaties provide for the adjudi-
cation of such bonds they will oppose them
unless an amendment is inserted which in
express terms will declare that bonds of
state shall not be arbitrated. There are
many million dollars of these bonds which,
1t is claimed, We're fraudulently issued, and
for which the states received no benefit, and
their payment was refused. Other sena tors
who have looked into the question say that
they believe the arbitration treaties can
not be construed to cover these state bonds.

CAPT. FRENCH's DEATH.
Accidentally Killed Himself at Chat
tanooga Monday.

Quartermaster General Humphrey has
been informed that Capt. Howard w.
French, quartermaster in charge of con-
struction work At Chattanooga and vicinity,
accidentally killed himself near the army
post Monday.
Capt. French was born in New York, Oc-
tober %, 1872, and was private in the 1st
Cavalry from September, 1892. until March,
1896, when he was appointed a second lieu
tenant in the 25th Infantry. He was made
a first lieutenant of Infantry in 1898, and
was assigned to the 18th Infantry in 1899.
In 1901 he was made a captain in the oath
Infantry, was transferred to the 4th In
fantry in April, 1902, and in June of that
year was transferred to the quartermaster s
department.
The friends of Capt. French at the War
Department speak of him in the highest
terms, and scout the idea that he commit
ted suicide. His official accounts are in
first-class condition, and so far as known.
he had no private troubles.

Gov Black would withdraw from the
contest and replied: Il suppose he will"
Does Mr.. Black acquiesce in the agree
ment?" was asked
The governor replied: His friends
whom have seen acauiesce in it. Some
of them l have not seen"
In reply to a question whether this
agreement was in accord with his own per-
sonaI preference or whether he yielded to
the party leaders, Gov. Odell. said: Il
would not be human if l did not have a
personal preference but what wanted was
to find out the choice of the whole party
The governor added that he would not
allow his personal preferences to inter-
fere in the choice of the party.
When the governor was asked what the
attitude of President Roosevelt on the
senatorshp was. he said: He has never
expressed any preference to me-
When asked how the settlement suited
him he said:
Whatever is satisfactory to the party
is satisfactory TO me-"
An Amicable Conference.
The conference must have been as AMIGA
BILE as it was brief, as sounds of merriment
could be heard. Senator Depew had been
in conference only few minutes when he
hurried out, his face wreathed in smiles. He
said: 1.-The optimist wins, as he always
does, and l am 1t. The senatorship is set
tied in my favor and through Governor
Odel harmony has been brought about He
is the only man in the state who could
have brought harmony out of the situation,
and am very grateful to him..
How about Black?" the senator was
asked.
Il understand that he is satisfied" was
the reply, lin fact. that everybody is now
satisfied that the matter has been settled
amicably and that there is general har-
mony.
The victory of Senator Depew in securing
from Gov Odell acquiescence in plans for
his election to succeed himself in the
United States Senate is regarded among
the senator's friends in this city distinct
victory for Senator Platt The opinion is
generally expressed that Odell would never
have agreed to support Depew for the
Senate unless he finally believed that he
could not elect his own candidate. For
these reasons Depews victory in securing
the support of Odel is generally regarded
as good evidence that Platt is still the
dominating figure in the arena in which
this senatorial fight has been brought to a
finish. The outcome of the contest is re-
garded everywhere as adding to the pres
tige of Platt, although at the same time 1t
is believed that Odell has strengthened
himself in the state by making such terms
with Depew that at some time in the fu-
ture he will be able to demand reciprocity.

a refund to persons who have been re-

Department has called attention of the

frequently require more postage than nee
cssary. Where this applies to large

considerable. The controller says there is

HIRING CHINESE BANDITS.
Russians Make Such Charges Against

MUKDEN, December 29.-Irrefutable evi-
dence has been obtained at headquarters
that the japanese are not only hiring Chi
nese bandits to operate on the Russian
fianks, but that they are enlisting Chinese
under Japanese officers.
The Japanese are adopting cunning expe-
dents to defeat the surprise attacks of
the Russian scouts, from which they have
suffered much. They cover the steep
approaches of their trenches with water
which freezes, forms ice slides and makes
the scouts slip and fall In confusion.
In other places the Japanese scatter mil
let stalks over the approaches, the crac-
king of which gives them warning of the
presence of Russian scouts.
