Simple Services to Be Held

Special Dispatch to The Star
ANNAPOLIS. Md, July 22-It has been
definitely settled that the ceremonies atten-
dant upon the reception of the body of Ad-
miral John Paul Jones at the Naval Academy
Will take place on Monday morning. The
news by wireless telegraphy that the fleet
under Admiral Sigsbee had arrived off the
capes this morning makes 1t unlikely that
the combined squadron will arrive off An
napois until tonight, and 1t has been de-
cided to hold the ceremonies of the inter
ment of the body in the temporary vault at
10 O'Clock Monday morning. The cere-
monies will be very simple In their nature.
it being the purpose of the authorities to
avoid anything that will detract from the
more elaborate event when the body is laid
away in the crypt of the new Naval
Academy chapel, its permanent resting
place.
There has been some misunderstanding as
to the composition of the feet that will
escort the remains from the capes to An
napolis the general belief being that 1t
would consist of cruisers alone. This is
not the case as the second division of the
battleship squadron will convoy Admiral

Alleged Defect in the Fireboat.

II is regarded by many. as strange that
in the building of the District fireboat her
designers made no provision for towing
bits, either forward or aft, such are
used all tugs to attach towing Inns.
The absence of these bits or any provision
for the fastening of lines from q towing
vessel to the fireboat will, it is said de-
tract greatly from her usefulness. The Frs
fighter is not only supposed to throw wafer
burning vessel, but to take her out OF
the dock, away from adjoining shipping. t.
prevent the spread of the flames.
The District firebOat Is without means Of
making towline fast in order to perform
this service, and, she now is, the burn
ing vessel will have to lie in her dock I'M
til the flames arc extinguished or the vessel
burns sinks. The oversight can be REIN
edied 1t is declared at small cost, and 10
mske the Firefighter the efficient boat she
should be the bits should be installed
aboard her.

Disorderly Conduct Charge.

The vicinity OF North Capitol street and
New YORK avenue was enlivcned about
: O'Clock last evening by a lively dispute
between two colored women. The hus-
band of one of them. although absent, was
the cause of the words between them. Into
the midst of the wordy scrap officer
Of the second precinct station walked He
did not attempt to arbitrate the Differences
between the madames. but invited them
both TO free ride to n station house on
9TH street. They accepted the invitation
politely. AT the station house they gave
their names as Maggie Strather and Julia
Smell. They must answer to the charge OF
disorderly conduct before Judge Kimball In
the Police Court tomorrow morning.

Absence of Lights on Spar Buoys.

The masters Of vessels whose business re-
auires them to navigate the river at night
state that the big spar buoys used by the
dredging machine at work in the river
channel near Marshall Hall unmarked
by lights, and that several times during
the past month there have been narrow
escapes from colliding with them They
are large logs, anchored at one end leav-
ing the free end to swing with the tide, SO
that should a vessel strike them fair she
would almost certainly be injured. The
complaint. it is stated, will be brought to
the attention of the United States engineer
officers who have the dredging work In
charge, and effort will be made to have
lights swung on the buoys at night. The
matter is one of Importance, especially at
this season of the year, when the excursion
steamers, laden with passengers from this
city, passing up and down the river
every night.

Why This Refusal.

Now. why this refusal? If Mr.. Willis
is insane then the additional evidence of
two physicians TO that fact would Justify
DR.. White in retaining him in the hospital
IF Mr. Willis is not insane then his de-
tention in the hospital is outrage upon
law and justice.
The officials of the Government Hospital
for the Insane say they will appeal this
case to the Court of Appeals and TO the
Supreme Court
We hope they will Just fancy that au-
gust tribunal, the Supreme Court being
asked. to sustain the incarcerating of these
unhappy people, without due process of law
In asylum for the insane.
The members of the Medico-Legal So
ciety have had this matter under consider
alton for some time, and have determined
10 do all they lawfully can to remedy this
Illegal commitment of persons to the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane.
There is another extraordinary assump-
ton of power by the officials of this hos
pi;al that requires attention.
IF insane patient is taken to this
hospital and becomes cured of his or her
insanity the officials of the hospital refuse
to discharge the patient until some person
viii give bond as security that they will
not become chargeable to tn. District
Who gave them authority to convert a
hospital for the treatment of people who
were insane into a prison for sane people?
This practice seems to me to be an ex-
ercise of arbitrary authority, totally I'M
warranted by law.
