Cafe Last Night

A dozen or more of the sophomores OF
the George Washington University MADE a
college rush, on party of freshmen last
night while the latter were enjoying BAN
quet at cafe on New York avenue, ana
two arrests were made in consequence
William c. Gardner of Indiana and Lewis
Davis of Wisconsin were those who were
so unfortunate as to be caught. Charges
of disorderly conduct were preferred
against them by Policeman Bursey, but the
affair was treated as joke when the case
was heard in Judge Scott's court this morn
ing The young men were fined SO eacn
The proprietor of the cafe told the court
he anticipated the trouble and requested
detail of three policemen, which was not
made.
IL was explained that the sophomores
reached the cafe about 10 o'clock and at
tempted to break up the banquet by push
ing in the transom and throwing meal
upon the tables Some of the meal 1eii
upon the piano, and the proprietor tele-
phoned for the police. Policeman Bursey
was not far away, and he reached the care
in time to take a hand in the proceedings.
Gardner admitted to the court this morn
ing that he was there as member OF the
party of sophomores, and said he Woulo

young mans answer
.It is an unfortunate condition of af-

nitted that he participated in the affair

engaged in it should have been arrested

Secretary Loeb Ill From Cold-Porto
Rico Wants Market for
Her Coffee.

Secretary Morton, who is finding much
to interest him in the political situation by
reason of his great personal regard and
esteem for President Roosevelt, and James
r. Garfield, commissioner of corporations
were among the few callers with the Pres
ident today. Both of them talked politics
with him. Mr.. Morton is one of the most
optimistic of the friends and advisers Of
the President. He has been west and
knows the situation there. He knows no
reason why the east should want to differ
from the west in it's political Affiliations.
The friends of Mr.. Garfield would like to
see him make a statement in answer to
the charges of Judge Parker as to the al
legged use of facts in the bureau of corpora
tons for the sweating of trusts and cor
porations for campaign contributions, be-
lieving that statement of the facts would
effectually deny the charges. Mr. Garfield
Is the one man in the country who is fully
acquainted with the work that has been
done by the bureau of corporations. His
honesty and incorruptibility are political
history. TFr
His friends dislike to see him identified
with bureau that rests under charges of
maintaining secrets for political use only
and they feel that no man could dispel these
charges better than the son of the former
President. Mr.. Garfield is believed to be in
II,
shrinks from display of himself upon the
eve of an election. and he may or may not
write something for publication
1t Is stated to be an absolute fact that,
except in the matter of probably the beef
trust, no facts have been gathered relative
to corporations Of the country that are not
open to the seeking of almost any one from
the reports and books Of the concerns them
selves So far few mysterious figures af-
fecting the corporations have been ac-
cumulated, and certainly none upon which
could be based the charge that political
blackmail was being levied
Mr.. Garfield has several times thought of
making statement of facts under his
name, it Is stated, but he does not wish to
be the medium of precipitating a heated
clash of the opposing parties at the last
minute. and is likewise inclined to think
that the thinking people of the country will
not accept statements that are so mani
testify inaccurate as those of Judge Parker
The charges, it is likewise pointed out, are
indefinite and vague. anda any answer to
them would lead to repetition of charges
that do not say anything specific. The
democrats do not make a single allegation
that can be answered IN the negative or
