CURIOUS SHAPED
STEAMER in PORT
Turrett" Ship Meridian, Which Stop.
ped Here for Coal Was Japanese
Supply Vessel During War.

The British steamship Meridian.
which arrived at this port Sunday
morning from Galveston and sailed
yesterday for Hamburg after loading
300 tons OF bunker coal. is one of the
most peculiar shaped vessel ever seen
at this port. The steamer is of the
'uirret' ship type and her hull above
the waterline is not unlike that OF II
whaleback steamer. Under the water
line the Mcridian's hull is shared like
an ordinary steamship but about three
rect above the dead" waterline born
sides of the hull are turned inboari
in the shape of an arc, giving the outer
null OF the vessel the appearance Of
whaleback. The most peculiar part
or the vessels construction is that on
top of and rivited to the rounding hull.
running from stem to stern, is an
other hull about fifteen feet wide and
extending upward about eight feet.
AT the bow and stern the upper hull
tapers to point, becoming n part OF
her main hull.
On the deck of the upper hull the
vessels cabins, three masts and one
, smokestack are situated, as are her
| boats and life boats.
Because of her peculiar shape the
Meridian was employed by the Japa.
nese government as supply ship
during the recent Japanese.Russian
war and IL Is said that the steamer
| had several narrow escapes from cap.
/ ture by the Russians. On one occa-
, sion she was chased by Russian
cruiser, but escaped by hosting tho
Russian flag astern and the red cross
flag on her forward masthead. An
! other TIME the steamer was pursued
by Russian warships at night and she
escaped by changing her lights, max.
ing it appear as if she had changed
: her course.
The Meridian is now employed in
the transatlantic freight trade be.
/ tween Galveston and Hamburg. and
when She arrived here Sunday she had
/ II large cargo of exports on board, coa
signed to Hamburg.

MR.. THoRNE's HOUSES.
They Were Below Grade and Gould Not
Be Connected.

BY the decision of Judge Kimball in the
Police Court this morning s. Morris Thorne
Of 923 18th street northwest cannot be COM
PEELED to connect premises which he owns
at 1918 and $500 street northwest with the
public sewer. The peculiar physical situa-
ton Of these premises was held by his
honor as a ground for this decision. which
apparently IL opposed to the plumbing reg
ulations. The decision attracted considera-
BILE interest. owing to its uniqueness.
Inspector Conrad testified that notice was
served on Mr.. Thorne on December o, 1901,
to connect these premises with the public
sewer, and that the connection had not
been made az yet, against the act of Con-
gress comp cling him to do SO.
Mr.. Thorne explained his apparent viola
ton of the law by the statement that the
premises at 1918 and 1920 T street were ten
feet below the level of the street and there
fore below the level of the sewer. In view
of this situation below the grade of the
sewer the houses could not be connected
with the public sewer. 1t was physical
impossbility, 1t was stat ted.
Judge Kimball thought that this condi-
ton relieved Mr.. Thorne of carrying out
the provisions of the law, and he dismissed
the case.

COMFORT FoR POLICEMEN.
Maj. Sylvester Allowed Them to 60
With Goats Unbuttoned.

The question Of members Of the police de-
partment being made as comfortable as pos
sSble during the heated period has always
caused police officials more or less trouble.
Maj Sylvester has permitted the members
of his command to wear their coats with
only the top button buttoned during the hot
weather. but yesterday he even modified
this order and permitted the policemen to
patrol the streets with their coats open
from top to bottom This order was issued
by Maj Sylvester because he realized that
the heat was SO oppressive and that suffer-
ing would be caused by closely-buttoned
garments. He denies that the issuance Of
the order was prompted by the police sur
geons or others. Policemen detailed in the
offices at police headquarters and the clerks
wear their coats at all times. Yesterday
when some of them were suffering from tho
heat and had their coats removed they were
informed that the coat order was still in ex-
lstence and were required to comply with
Its provisions In some cities, 1t 10 stated,
policemen are permitted to wear serge coats
in the hot weather. A committee Of the Po-
lice Chiefs Association will consider the
matter of uniforms for police departments
throughout the country and make a report
at the next meeting of the board Of COVER
nors. While this matter had no special bear
Ing upon the question OF hot-weather cloth
with this question. One object to be attained
Is the selection of a uniform to be adopted
by the police departments throughout the
country which will give the police OF the
smaller cities the benefit OF cheaper uni
forms

But $50 Had to Be Paid Out in
Fines,

Hot weather agreed with the business Of
ABE Brown, who sells lemonade around the
Center market. and he was discovered to
be quite a capitalist from his business
when arrested and searched by the officers
OF the first precinct station On him was
found about 500. This represented tho
profits OF selling i-cent lemonade during
the hot days Of this summer.
Brown got into an alteration with
Special Officer Riley yesterday and was
arrested for the assault. Brown saw a
boy being taken away by another man and
he suspected kidnapping. as the latter had
no uniform on. Brown thought that he
ought to protect the boy who was being
carried away and he used physical srgu-
ments on the supposed kldnaper. Later
he discovered that 1t was an officer and sub
mitted peaceably to arrest. When searched
then the 500 was found on him.
He appeared in the Police Court this
morning to answer to a charge Of assault
Ing the officer and to a charge Of disorderly
conduct. Brown admitted the assault. but
stated that he did not know at the time
that he was dealing with an officer. He
stated that he thought he was protecting
the boy.
Judge ONeal found Brown guilty on
both charges, and the fines ate up $50 OF
the profits of the sale of lemonade at the
Center market and increased the assets OF
the Police Court to that amount.
