The November Term Of the Circuit Court
for this county adjourned on Friday last
without the cases against the Chevy Chase
Club for alleged violations of the local op-
ton law of the county being tried. The
porter and bartender, who were also in
dicted, were arralgned and released on bail,
but the county officers were unsuccessful in
their efforts to serve the other warrants on
the proper officials Of the club. 1t is the
purpose Of the States Attorney to try the
case against the club prior to the hearing Of
the cases against the bartender and porter
He says the proper parties will be placed
under arrest before the March Term Of Court,
and that the cases will surely be tried at that
term.

land, entered the navy in 1870, and died at
Savannah, Ca, in September, 1908. while he
was In charge Of the photographic Office
there. Mrs. Stewart lives at Linden, this
county, with her daughter Josephine. Her
application for a pension of $25 a month
for the widow and $3.50 month for the
daughter was rejected by the Pension Bureau
on the ground that the death by heart dis.
ease Of Lieutenant Stewart could not be
traced to his line of duty, and more spe.
officially, that it could not be connected with
malarlal poisoning. the disability for which
he had been retired about six years before
he died.

Wagner Sent to Jail.

Harrison Wagner, the aged man known
in Maryland and Virginia judicial annals
as the perpetual litigant," who was arrest
ed on Friday by a squad of local detectives
In bis room ct 6l1 Sixth street northwest,
was on Saturday arraigned 10 the Police
Court, says the Washington Post Of Sunday
last. A warrant formally charging him with
forgery was read, but the case went no fur
Their, as the prosecution announced that they
would not be ready to proceed for several
days. An agreement was reached setting
Friday next for the trial, and Wagner was
committed to Jail.
There was much discussion concerning
the case in and around the Police Court and
police headquarters during the day, and ev.
erywhere the statement was made that II
was the most remarkable case OF Its kind ever
brought TO the attention of the local author
tiles. In the early afternoon Edward s.
Elchelberger, former States Attorney for
Frederick county, Md, and Capt Wash
ington Bowie, Jr., attorney for the Fidelity
and Deposit Company, OF Baltimore, were
10 consultation with District Attorney Beach
and Assistant United States Attorneys Null
lowry and Given. After the conference II
was learned that the propriety Of bringing
the prosecution In the District OF Columbia
was largely the point at issue, Wagner, II
was said, secured all OF the thousands OF bis
alleged fraudulent judgments In Maryland
and Virginia, making Washington his head
quarters. Here 1t was that the three seals,

Canal Not SOld.-Last Wednesday was
the day appointed to finally decide whether
or not the States interest in the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal would be sold at the bid Of
$166,OO0. An unexpected new point was
raised by Mr.. VAndlver, OF the Board Of
Public Works, and next Thursday set as
the day to again consider the sale.
The point raised was that the stock Of the
canal company exempted the holders thereof
from taxation on any structures that might
be erected on the canal property BY those
holders. The provision that was brought TO
the attention Of the board BY Treasurer Van
diver Ia found 10 Section of Chapter 70 OF
the Acts OF 1924, by which the canal COM
pany was Incorporated. 1t reads as follows:
"And be It enacted, That for and In con-
sideration Of the expenses the said stock
holders will be at, not only In cutting the
said canal, erecting locks and dams, pro-
vIding aqueducts, feeders and other works,
and in improving and keeping the same in
repair, the said canal and all other works
aforesaid, or required to improve the nsvi-
CATION thereof at any time thereafter, with
all their profits, subject to the limitations
herein provided, and none other, shall be
and the same are hereby vested In the said
stockholders, their heirs and assigns forever
as tenants 10 common In proportion TO their
respective shares, and be forever exempt
from the payment Of any tax, imposition or

WILL KEEP TAB ON VOTES
OF THE STATES LAWMAKERS
Executive Committee of Labor Coun-
ell Seeks to Find Out Who Are
Friends of TOilers.

After warm discussion last night
the executive committee of the Labor
Council voted to keep watch on the
votes of the members of both houses
in the next Legislature in regard to
all labor measures, such as the eight
hour, anti-injunction and other sim
liar bills.
The object of taking these records
and preserving them is to give the Ia
Dor men a line on whom they shall
support at the elections. They ex-
pect to learn who is voting in their in
terests and who is opposed to them.
This action was taken on recommend
alton of the law and legislation COM
mittee of the council.
While there is no formal declaration
of peace between the members of the
Hackmen's Union and the Carriage
Owners Association, still both bodies
have apparently ceased their warlike
tactics till at the present time no rup-
ture is imminent. Most of the old
hands have been taken back and every
thing points to an open agreement.
The American Federation of Labor
has decided that the engineers en-
ployed in the various gashouSes
throughout the city are members of the
Engineers Union. For a long time the
Gasmakers' Union has been at odds
with the Engineers Union as to which
body the gashouse engineers belonged.
The decision of the American Fedora
ton of Labor must be accepted as final.

STRAIlT]ACKET
At SAN QUENTIN
Board of Prison Directors
Will Inquire Concerning
the Charges of Cruelty
OPEN INVESTIGATION
Charles N. FELTON,, r. ]. Dew
lin and James I'll. Wilkins
Meet at Folsom To-Day

There will be a meeting Of the State
Board of Prison Directors at Folsom
to-day and topics concerning Warden
Tompkins' management of San QUEEN
tin Prison will be discussed. Reports
that an investigation may follow, with
view of lettering conditions at the
San Quentin institution, seem to be
correct. Director Charles n. FELTON,
left the city for Folsom last evening.
Prior to his departure he was asked
if the board had decided to investigate
the charge that cruelty in the use or
the Straitjacket had been tolerated by
Warden Tompkins. FELTON, replied that
he was not authorized to speak for his
fellow directors, but felt justified IN
saying that the board would consider
the subject mentioned. He Indicated,
moreover, that the investigation would
be open and thorough, to the end that
all the facts connected with the pres
ent management of the prison may be
given to the public.
Yesterday afternoon Governor Pardee
and Senator FELTON, had quite a talk
at the Palace Hotel. The Governor re-
marked yesterday that he would be N
Sacramento to-day.
Don Ray, one of the members OF the
prison board, is East. 1t is an open
question whether Director r. NJ. Fitz-
gerald will care to take up the burden
of an official investigation. His term
of office as Prison Director expired last
January and since that time he has
plainly indicated a desire that his sue
cessor should be appointed. There are
several applicants for the position, but
men who are next to the Governor in
cline to the opinion that the chief ex-
ecutive has not found the right man for
the place.
Charles N. FELTON,, Robert T. Devlin
and James H. wilkins, who comprise a
majority of the prison board, are ready
to act on any proposition involving the
welfare of the institutions under con-
troll of the directors.
