VETERAN FIREMEN.
Association Holds Meeting and Dis
cusses Business Matters.

The regular monthly meeting Of the Vet
eran Volunteer Firemen's Association was
held last evening at the old Union engine
house, 10Th and Fl streets President James
H. Richards was in the chair, and Secretary
John j. Peabody kept the minutes.
Reports of the officers showing the asso-
citation to be in healthy financial condition
were made and adopted.
Mr. j. E. Strobel offered resolution of
thanks to the secretary, j. ]. Peabody, for
his services in obtaining data for and max
ing a success of the centennial celebration
of the volunteer firemen, celebrated the
previous evening. The resolution was
adopted by a rising vote.
In returning his thanks Mr.. Peabody said
It had been and still is a labor of love to
delve for matter relating to the old COM
panies: that in doing so he had gone over
10000 pages of newspapers and periodicals
and when health permitted he will continue
TO work. He referred to the disputes as to
priority of organizations which had en-
gagged the convention of 1857, which was
finally settled by giving the companies their
numbers according to date.
He said that had it not been for politics
we would have had a well-organized depart
ment over fifty years ago; that after the
United States Senate passed bill authoriz-
ing the organization it was killed in the
House because of the assertion that the
volunteer firemen were know nothings
Mr.. Peabody spoke of the efforts tor bet
terment in the days of the war, and of the,
difficulties Mayor Wallach encountered.
Mr.. ID. O'C. Callaghan was elected a life
member.

PROSECUTION ORDERED.
Augustus D. Stovall Objects t.
Daughters Choice of Husband.

Augustus d. Stovall reached here last
night from finders, Va and called on the
police to inquire about his daughter Miss
Lee Emma Stovall, who had preceded him
here for the purpose of becoming the bride
of William j. Pulliam, and whose wedding
was indefinitely postponed by the arrest CT
the couple, as stated in yesterdays Star.
When tie father reached the house of de-
tention his daughter said she thought her
parents would make no objection to her
becoming Mrs. Pullam. The father said
She knew to the contrary. and en-
phatic in his protest against Pulliam a
son-in-law. The girl stated that she would
Yet become his wife.
II would rather follow Lee to the grave
than TO see her get married so young the
father told a star reporter.
His daughter and Pulliam, ne said, are
second cousins. They met at the homes of
relatives from time to time and Pulliam
had also been at his house a number of
times. There had never been any evidence
OF courtship, the father said, and he was
surprised when he learned that his daugh-
ter had eloped with her cousin, The young
people were together Sunday, the Stovalls
going to the home of the girls grand
mother where there was u family reunion.
Il took along two rabbits, some squirrels
and chicken" said the girls father. land
helped the women folks to cook. just
wanted to show them how i could do it.
About the time the feast was being ready
after dinner to go to church Pulliam said
he could not go he had business at the
mill and had to go there. We offered him
a mule to ride if he would go to church,
but he refused. He said he had to go to
the mill. but he didn't go and at the
house when we returned from church."
Mr.. Stovall saw nothing more of the
young man. Monday, he said, he was in
the field at work and the children were i'll
the house Smelling corn. He returned to
the house about o'clock and was i'll
bed. About o O'Clock, he stated his daugh-
ter left the house and drove with Pulliam
to Fredericksburg, distance of twenty
four miles, to catch the train to come to
this city. They were driven there in
buggy by a colored boy.
sunday was the first time Lee had ever
put on a long dress" her father said, and
all the neighbors remarked that she GER
tanly did look pretty Her long dress, of
course, made her look older than she really
was.
The father declared that Pulliam knew
his daughters age only seventeen
when he told the clerk she was twenty. He
went with Detective McNamee to the Office
of United States Attorney Beach to have
Pulliam prosecuted
What / want him arrested for more than
anything else" he said, lis for disgracing
my family"
1t is understood the case will be brought
before the Police Court tomorrow.

licensed, as are the smokers. and the latter
must always produce their licenses when
purchasing opium, of which. however, only
a certain quantity can be bought. The
price is fixed by the government, and the
selling agent who supplies the retailer is
only allowed profit of 1h per cent. He
pays } yen a year for his license, and has
to report monthly the quantity and value

port The retailer also has to pay yen

''rhe attempt to control the opium habit
caused at the outset many disturbances,
which might easily have ripened into re-
bellion but for the policy of the admins
tration. The authorities found great diff
Guilty In ascertaining the number of smok-
er5 as people refused TO give information.
and it was not until late in 1900 that 1t
was believed that all the opium smokers
in Formosa were registered. Since that
date it is reckoned that the number of
smokers has decreased by about 1000 a
month.
There are, as stated above, three grades
OF opium made at the government factory,
all of which those who can afford to buy
first-class ticket (red) at B yen per month
may purchase and use. The second-class
smoker pays / yen so sen per month for a
green ticket, emitting him to buy the Sec
ond and third grades of opium, while the
third-class smoker pays 20 sen monthly
for yellow ticket, comforting the right to
indulge in the commonest quality only. The
use Of opium in tormoSa is steadily de-
Ginning the result not only of law but also
of public opinion"

referee will not receive the list of creditors
prior To tomorrow, if then. At least ten
days notice of the meeting must be given
directly to each creditor. Next Saturday
week, being the 18th of the month, is not
regarded a suitable day. AS the meet
ing must be held within thirty days from

adjudged a bankrupt. the 22d instant, 1t
seems to Referee Bradley, will be the most
desirable Saturday available for holding the
first meeting of the creditors.

submitted to the creditors of Mr. Wagga-
man until after their first meeting. The
proposed composition has not yet been

The court further directed that Constantine
II. Williamson show cause on or before the
14th instant why the sale of the lots should
not be made under the direction of the
court
1t is claimed by the petitioner that the
real estate in question is part of the estate
of Mr. Waggaman, and therefore is under
the jurisdiction of the court in the bank
ruptcy cause. She says that the Both of

OPIUM LICENSING IN FoRMosA.
Movement in Japan to Suppress Use Of
the Drug.

From the London Telegraph.
In his report on the trade of north For
mosa for 1903 British Consul Playfair says
that during the year the value of the opium
imported fell from f153,S2 to f116,S19,
decline of f37 900. He adds the following
interesting particulars of the methods
adopted by the Japanese to suppress the
addiction to this pernicious drug:
1.-THE authorities are doing their best to
put down the opium habit, and appear to
be meeting with fair measure of success.
No one but the government is allowed to
deal with opium In any way, save those
who are licensed. Only those proved to be
addicted to opium are given permission to
buy and smoke 1t. Exceptionally heavy
penalties are inflicted on those detected in
importing, selling or smoking the drug
without permission.
Regulations for the application of the
opium law were first promulgated in 1897,
but have frequently been revised since.
These regulations show that the govern
ment makes three qualities. Agents and
dealers IN opium have to be non-smokers

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

Though not a property owner in any SUBJ
urb dependent on the Brightwood railway
Tor transportation to and from the city.
have resided in Petworth for nearly four
years, and, in common with every res dent
of the different communities, am very
grateful to The Star for its championship
of the cause of better service on Bright
wood avenue.
MI. Louis p. Shoemaker, in your edition
of the Sd, states very succintIy the .fficul-
ties under which the daily trip to and from
office is made by those who are compelled
to patronize the line in question, but per-
haps a few instances in point m ght
strengthen his statement. I have on at least
dozen occasions counted over a hundred
passengers packed into (and onto) a car de-
signed to accommodate fewer than fifty
people. This in every case on a car coming
to the city. l have counted Dds waiting
passengers at the junction beyond Florida
avenue, most of whom were there when
reached that point, and after thirty-fve
minutes a car coming in from the north was
. taken to the barns on 18th street instead of
returning for trip up Brightwood avenue.
On that same occasion a slight sprinkle OF
rain made it difficult for the car, which at
last took on their homeward way portion
of the tired patrons to get up the hill, the
rails being slippery and the sand boxes
empty Only the efforts of passengers,
carrying dirt from the cutters and sprin-
king it along the rails, enabled the car to
get up the grade.
In nearly four years travelling on TINS
caricature. this grotesque imitation or q
street railway, 1 don't think L have had
seat coming or going to the city more than
twenty times. l have tried waiting in the
morning until the ''office travel" might be
supposed to be over; L have left the city
before that rush could be supposed to have
begun; the lire is always and persistently
inadequate.
AS an amendment to Gen. Harries' state
ment, appended to Mr. Shoemaker's words
in the issue of the Sd, 1 suggest that things
could not be worse, for an abandonment or
the line by the present operators would
probably result in an extension of the 14th
street line through the territory now in
yaded. but only partially served, by the
humectated roriferous Washington Elec-
trio Railway Company.
