A Sad Case.

A Sad Case.
sad case was called to the attention Of
the court when Peter Fleming, man about
sixty years of age, was arraigned on a
charge of vagrancy. Both of Jennings legs
are removed just above the knees and he
has no fingers on either of his hands
What has this unfortunate man been
doing this timer" Mr.. Pugh asked Bicycle
Policeman Williams, after recognizing
Fleming as having been in court before.
Hes been laying around In South WASH
fngton for several days drunk most of the
time
When did you get out of the work.
house?' Judge Scott asked the man
Wednesday" he answered. ~
"A man In your condition and afflicted as
you are ought to have better sense than
to drink liquor" Me-. Pugh told the de-
PENDANT .
Where is your homer" Judge Scott asked
Fleming.
"Out in Wyoming"
Why did you leave there" his honor
inquired.
Because I was a FOOL
We'll, be a man and go back"
VIII you give me a pass?' the cripple
wanted to know.
I'm not silver mine and neither am I
a railroad company" the court told him.
could get back home easy If had
railroad pass, the man continued.
And the only passes that 1 can give are
to the Jail and workhouse," Judge Scott
informed him.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Pugh, the court
sent for DR.. Wilson of the board of charities
to have him make some arrangement to
assist Fleming in returning to his far dis
tant home. DR.. Wilson sent word that it
would be necessary to investigate the
mans story, and the court held him for
ten days.
Denial of No Avail.
I'm not that" said Michael O'Day,
man about forty years of age, when he was
arraigned on a charge of vagrancy.
He spends most of his time under the
influence of liquor in South Washington"
was the statement policeman made.
Il hardly ever miss a day from my
work" ODay declared.
You are not charged with working" the
court told the man. but with getting
drunk"
But I can't work and get drunk, too"
ODay explained
That's easy" his honor said. You
work during the daytime and get drunk at
night" --. ,.a -,-. .,.-,-.
But I don't get drunk"
The court, however, thought that he did,
and taxed him $780, naming Imprisonment
in Jail for three months as the equivalent.
The next in line, Joe Shorter, a very tall
Tor in front of the post Office yesterday aft
ernoon. --.
He was drunk and trying to raise a dis
turbance,' Policeman Boyce recited.-

asked.

TWENTY-THREE OFFENDERS IN

Most Of Them Were Sentenced
Though Some of Them Got Off

Judge Scott was in his place promptly
at $3.50 o'clock this morning in the District
branch of the Police Court ready to dis
pense justice to the twenty-three unfortu-
mates who were in the tolls on charges of
a petty character. Court, however, did not
start until fifteen minutes behind the sched-
uled time, the delay being occasioned by
the non-arrival of Prosecuting Attorney
Pugh, who was detained In his office pre-
pairing the papers against those In the

ncemen, who had been on duty all night,
were kept from their sleep.

A Travelling Minister.

Robert j. F. Brann, a travelling minister,
who said that he left California several
years ago to spread the gospel broadcast,
denied that he was vagrant.

JUDGE MAY DECIDE DISPUTE.
Cancellation Board Determines TO Place Con-
troversy Before Chairman.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, (SpeciaD.-At
meeting of the anthracite board of
Cancellation held here az the request of
the miners, the operators presented
plan for the settlement of the check
weighmen and check docking boss
questions which have caused so much
trouble in the upper coal fields.
The operators ask that the entire
controversy be submitted to Judge
George Gray, the chairman of the
anthracite strike commission, his de-
cision to be final and binding. The
miners asked for time to consider the
proposition and action was deferred
until the next meeting of the board,
which will be held here on August IL.
In view of the fact that President
Nichols of District No. 1, U. M. w.
of A., in public statement, proposed
that Judge Gray or the entire strike
commission be asked to settle the
question, it is quite likely that the
whole matter will eventually be sub
mitted to Judge Gray.
The grievance of the employees OF
Coke Bros. & Co., of the Middle Goa,
Fields was also taken up by the board.
The men claim that several of their
number were discharged for loading
coal above a certain size, when they
had never received notice not to do
so.
The matter was Temporarily settled
by resolution, presented by the oper-
ators, beng adopted to the effect that
the suspended employees be reinstat-
ed Immediately and, as compen-
sation for their loss, to allow them
20 per cent. of their average earnings
from tint date of the grievence, the.
earnings of the month previous to
their suspension to be the basis of the
calculation.
1t was also recommended that
compromise concerning the size of
coal to be loaded be effected by joint
consultation between the men and
officials of the company.

JOHN LYONS HANGED.
Paid the Death Penalty for Numbering az
Aged Waterman.

Paterson, N. J. (SpeciaD.-John Ly-
ons was hanged in the county Jail here
for the murder of John Christian, an
aged Waterman, who was beaten to
death when he detected Lyons and
William Allen robbing a Paterson silk
mill four years ago.
The last effort to save Lyons was
made Wednesday, when counsel for
the condemned man applied to Judge
Pitney, at Morristown, for writ of
habeas corpus for Lyons, alleging that
as Lyons was not hanged on March a,
the day first set for the execution, he
was legally dead, the court that grant
ed the delay having no power to do so,
that authority being vested in the Gov
ernor alone.
No word was received from Justice
Pitney. If he had refused to grant the
writ of habeas corpus demanded by
he prisoners lawyers his action would
have afforded counsel an opportuni-
ty to carry the case to the United
States Supreme Court and thus delay
the execution.
Allen is serving 3o-year sentence
for his share in the murder.

LEGATION DEMANDS SETTLEMENT.
Turkey Informed That a Speedy and Final
Reply Is Awaited.

Constantinople, (By Cable).-The
announcement of the dispatch of the
American European squadron to
Smyrna has perturbed the Porte and
will doubtless hasten the. solution of
the questions at issue between the
United States and Turkey in manner
satisfactory to the former.
The Porte promised American Min
lister Leishmar that reply favorable
to the American demand for the same
favored treatment in the matter of
schools, hospitals and charitable in
situations as is accorded to other pow
ers would be given August 2. The CIV
ing of the answer was then postponed
to August a, but up to the present
time no answer has been received.
The Porte recognized the demand
in principle, but thus far has failed to
execute the necessary measures. and
the American legation has now, sent
communication to the Porte point
edly demanding a speedy and final
settlement, the issuance of the nee
cesary orders and the official acknow-
Judgement by Turkey of the Ameri-
can demands. There are no monetary
claims.
Disgust is manifested in official cir
cles here over the coming of the
American war vessels for the purpose
of making a demonstration. 1t is
claimed that the whole trouble with
America is due to the Armenians, who
remain just long enough in America
to get naturalized and then return
and agitate against the Sultan. Ac-
cording to officials, the claim of these
people to protection is the principal
demand made by the American gov
errment
