Nor cREDTABLE 10 THE ToNN

NOT CREDfTABLE TO THE TOWN.
Judging from an editorial in the Bran
don Union a party Of evmgelists who
have been working in that town have
Jared roughly at the hands Of certain
element through indiscretions in their
0tterances. The Union hears that not
only have the erangelists been resiled
but they have been given physical yio-
lence. And the Union says that the
rowdp actions are more Or less condoned
By the better class Of people Of its town,
which is to be regretted The supposed
cause Of the actions is that the evan
gclists used language uncomplimeutaiy
% Brandon and IFS people. Brandon, or
Ut least part Of II, resented the IN
situation and sank to level still lover
and used force on the evangelists, be
sides otherwise disturbing the meetings.
Now this does not speak we'll for the
town. On the contrary. it shows q
state Of affairs which needs cleaning out.
Il persons can with imppnity employ
physical chastisement TO aYenge real
er fancied insult, it is lawlessness. If
the people Of Brandon did not wish To-
hear what these travelling eyangelists
had to say about them they could have
reffained from attending the meetings
and in that ease would not have been
.insulted-0 y var their privilege To-
remain az home and continue is law
abiding citizens. But they were looking
for trouble instead # they had not
attended the meetings, the evangelists
would not have spoken 70 empty benches

FOUR TIMES POSTPONED.
Difficulty Experienced in Securing
Hearing Of Alleged Burglar.

Detective Tyser returned from New York
last night, where he spent several days as
a witness in the case of John Talbot, an
alleged safe burglar, who is under arrest
there and is to be given hearing upon an
application for his return to this city to an
swer an Indictment alleging that he par
ticipated, with Frank Johnson, alias Uhie
Burke in the robbery of a safe in the store
of George F. Pyles No. IL Harrison street,
Anacostia, the night of December II. john
son has not yet been arrested. Talbot was
arrested six weeks ago. but the local police
have not yet succeeded in getting his case
heard before United States Commiss oner
Shields. Several trips have been made to
New York by Detective Tyser and the case
has been continued four times. Although
considerable trouble has been experienced
and much time consumed, the local detec-
tiyes will continue to go to New York until
final action is taken in the case. Talbot ID
under 5000 security.
l.. B. Cook of Anacostia, clerk in the
store of J. 7. ID. Pyles. is the most i'm
portant witness in the case. and he accom-
panied the detective to New York. II is al
legged that he met Talbot and johnson in
Anacostia a few hours before the robbery
was committed and conversed with them.
The strangers inquired about Mr.. Pyles
store and the amount or business done Dy
him. They also wanted to know II anybody
lived over the store. Their reason for want
ing the latter information. one of them
said, was because he was thinking about
accepting a position in the store and he
wanted quiet place to sleep.
Detectives Weldon and Tyser investigated
graphs OF Talbot and johnson as likenesses
OF the men with whom he had conversed.
The arrest of Talbot followed johnson, u

opposed TO THE BILL.
Adverse Report on Measure to Paw
Plumbing Board

In report forwarded to Conpress toda,
the Commissioners recommend adversa 40
ton on the bill to pay salaries to the mem-
pers OF the plumbing board of the District
from April q. 1898. to July 1. 1885,
In their letter to Congress relative to this
Subject SUD- the Commissioners state that in
1872 they recommended to Congress a hill TO
provide for the appointment Of a plumbing
BOARD to be composed Of two master pIumh-
ers one Journyman plumber and two en-
pioyes OF the District of Columbia and pro-
yid1ng for their compensation at the rate of
9SU per annum. This bill became law on
June 1S 1895. The reason the Commission-
ers recommended the passage of this bill
was that by decision of the Court of An
peals of the District of Columbia In the ca Sc
of Kerr against Ross it was held that the
commissioners had no power to delegate
their authority under the plumbing act of
April 23, 1892, to plumbing board.
The establishment of thsS board of 1890
was considered by the Commissioners as
much for the benefit Of the plumbers them
selves and the citizens of the District of Co
lumbia as 1t was to the District of Column
bia itself as a municipal government.
The Commissioners state II was, there
fore, no more than proper that the plumbers
themselves, as well as officials of the Dis
trict government should contribute their
services to such a worthy cause 1t was in
this spirit that the appointments to the
board were made, and, it is understood, ac-
cepted.
The Commissioners say further:
''The board appointed under the act ap-
proved June, 1898. however. was so appoint
ed under direct authorization of Congress,
which fixed the compensation of It's MEM
bers. While there Is an analogy between
these two plumbing boards. they are not of
the same character, and the fact that Con-
gress has provided for the compensation of
this board does not seem to the Commits
sioners a good reason for going back as far
as the period between 1898 and 1898 to pay
the members of the then existing board for
services rendered under an agreement
which specifically provided that there should
be no compensation for such services. Such
a plumbing board existed as far back as
1887, and there would seem to be as much
reason to go back to that date as there is to
90 hack to 1893"
