Case of Policeman Hilten Reviewed by
Mai Sylvester

After reconsidering the case of Policeman
George T. Hilten of the seventh precinct
who was recently suspended from duty on
against him in the Police Court. Major
Richard Sylvester, in an Endorsement on the
paper today states that Hilten was sus-
pended from duty for the reason that his
credibility before the courts would be i'm
paired, thereby destroying his efficiency as
a police officer.
Il see no reason why he should be de-
prived of his pay the major continues,
until he has been convicted OF the charge
now pending against him. The same ac-
ton was taken In the case of Samuel A.
Croft. charged with conspiracy, his pay
having been stopped after his conviction in
the upper court"
Kittens check for s74 was issued by the
auditor of the District of Columbia for the
month of July, but it was subsequently re-
turned by the chief clerk of the police de-
partment with the inquiry whether it should
be given to Hilteu in view of the fact that
the month in question. Subsequently At
torney Robert E. Mattngly. Kittens coun-
sci. wrote to the Commissioners, character
izng the Withholding Of the policemans
pay deprivation OF his rights without
trial. and stating that the act was working
a great hardship to Hilten and those de-
pendent upon him. The auditor referred
the case to the major and superintendent
of police with the request that Kittens ex-
act status be designated.
Major Sylvester latest recommends ton

Authorities Puzzled.

A strange case came to the attention Of
the police authorities yesterday afternoon.
when Officer Walsh. who does duty around
the workhouse, arrested Joseph Wilder.
Wilder is cripple, having little use of his
legs below the knees. He moves along the
ground by crawling. He was found yes
terday at E and 18th streets southeast by
Officer Walsh and was taken into custody
When the case was taken before Judge
O'Neal in the Police Court this morning,
he was undecided as to what to do In the
matter. 1t was explained by the officer
that the old man refused to go to the aims
house, although he was offered place
there. He has no visible means of support
and it is felt that something should be
done with him. Judge O'Neal stated that
the workhouse was not the place for such
man. 1t was finally determined to con-
tinue the case until next Wednesday, for
further investigation.
Owing to the absence of c. A. Massie,
agent of the Prisoners Society," there was
no one to take charge of the old man. and
he was sent to the workhouse in the mean
while. It 10 thought that Mr. Massie can
arrange some place for him to be put.

THE JAY AUTO ACCIDENT.
Victim Remained Unconscious 6
Hospital All Last Night.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August 19.-Webb Jay
of Cleveland, the automobile racing man
injured at Kenilworth Park yesterday, re-
manned in an unconscious condition all
night at the German Hospital. Surgeons
have been in constant attendance, but up
to a late hour Jay had shown no signs Of
returning consciousness. Many Of the lead
ing officials in automobile racing, includ-
ing manufacturers, are practically unit in
declaring that the accident to Jay following
SO closely on others of a similar character
has sounded the death knell to automo-
bile racing on circular tracks.
William H. Hotchkiss, former president
OF the Buffalo Automobile Club. said
There will never be another automobile
race in Buffalo or vicinity If l can enlist
the power Of the supreme court OF New
York to prevent 1t. l shall hereafter OPP
pose the holding of any such events, both as
q lawyer and an enthusiastic automobiliSt."
D. H. Lewis, secretary of the Buffalo Au
tomobile Club and manager of the present
meeting, said that Notwithstanding the
statement made by former President Hotch-
kiss, racing would be continued today.
Barney Oldfeld has volunteered to finish
Jays races and if he can win to turn over
the prize money to the injured man.
Dr. BiXby, one of the surgeons attending
Jay, said today that the injured man still
has fighting chance for life. Complica-
tons from internal injuries were the great
est source of danger. he said.

WARNER WEATHER PROMISED.
General Humidity to Be on Duty
Hereabouts Tomorrow,

Gen. Humidity is scheduled to again
interrupt the pleasant weather conditions
in Washington tomorrow. and bring about
to some extent the disagreeabIe sogginess
which was experienced here about fifteen
days ago. Prof. Frankentie1d of the wealth
er bureau said this afternoon that tomor-
row will be warmer than today. the tenn
perature going well up in the eighties. The
percentage of humidity promises to be high,
which will make the atmosphere close and
oppressive, and there will perhaps be some
showers
The temperature here last night went
down to 55 degrees, which was very close
to the record low temperature for August
Prof Frankenfield said that on August -
1880 the thermometer registered as low as
40 degrees. This is not the coolest August
we have had, however, for 1t is an accepted
fact among the weather men that IN the
year 1916 there was frost every month as
far south as Philadelphia. Not single
crop was raised in Pennsylvania that year
on account of the lack of heat to rlpen It.
That Just goes to show. you see. that While
we are complaining of the heat we should
remember the corn needs 1t and we need
the corn.

no pretensions of being professionals nor

thousands of strangers during the past
week. and they have had unusual advan-
tsges for seeing the places of interest in
the historic building. For five or six weeks
the building has been closed to permit
painting and alterations and no visitors
have been admitted. Now that the work
in the interior is nearly completed the
building has been thrown open, even por-
tions that are never open to the public In
spection except upon special permission.
The work In the east terrace has not been
fully completed. AS that Is the entrance
portion of the building 1t decided, IN
view of the absence of the presidential
family, to permit visitors to enter the north
door, the private entrance. and this has
been the rule during the week. All the
private parlors have been open. The east
room is ordinarily the only one open for
visitors, but that and all three parlors and
the state dining room and halls are st
