POLICE TRIAL BOARD.
Case of Sergt. c. H. Anderson Began
Friday.

The police trial board began hearing the
testimony in the case of Sergt. c. H. An
derson OF the Anacostia substation Friday
afternoon, at the first precinct station
house. A large number of persons inter-
ested in the was present, and when
the witnesses were excluded from the room
1t was seen by the general exodus that
large number of witnesses for both sides
would be put on the stand.
The first witness was Officer David
Crouch, who preferred the charges against
Sergt. Anderson. He was first assigned to
Anacostia, but was transferred away for
some time after short service, and was
not returned there until recently, at which
he was incensed. He said THAT he had been
taking notes on the conduct of his superior
officer, watching his relations with the
woman who is connected with the case,
Mrs. Mary Scott of Twining City. He told
of seeing the sergeant go there many times
and of remaining there for long periods.
and some of the times. he said, the SER
geant was in uniform.
The whole fuss was started the testimony
showed. over the pasturing of a COW on
lot in front of the house of Mrs. Scott. The
woman appealed to the sergeant, and this
resulted in a dispute. George Davis, the
owner of the COW, was put on the stand.
and he admitted that he had been watching
the sergeant as the result of this COW dis
pute.
The next meeting of the board will be
held next Friday at IL o'clock.

LAWYER EXCLUDED FROM ROOM.
Election Follows Exciting Episode Be.
fore Police Trial Board.

The hearing of the testimony In the case
of Detective Henry Lacey before the police
trial board was concluded at the session OF
the board yesterday afternoon, and the case
was adjourned until next Friday at 1890
o. clock, when the arguments in the case
will be made.
Yesterdays proceedings were enlivened by
the exclusion of Attorney Chase OF the
prosecution from the room. AS has been
stated in The Star previously, the ill-feeling
between the defendant and Mr.. Chase has
been manifest throughout the hearing. ard
at one time the attorney was warned fsg
President Smith of the board that he must
not make side remarks or interfere with the
testimony Of any of the witnesses. Yester-
day, however. there was another outbreak.
and the result was that Attorney Chase was
ordered out of the court room by the prest-
dent Of the board.
Detective Lacey was on the stand in his
own behalf. when trouble occurred. Law
yer Chase was sitting near, when pointed
question was asked by one of the attorneys.
Lacey started to reply.
That's right, spit 1t out like a crow"
shouted Attorney Chase
The remark was heard by the board, and
there was a ripple of excitement. President
Smith stated that the board could not allow
insulting remarks to be made against the
witnesses, and he reprimanded the attor-
ney. Then Lawyer Chase jumped to his
feet to reply.
There is only two gentlemen on this
board, and you are not one of Them" he
exclaimed, addressing the president. This
resulted in the order that Chase should
leave the room. But the lawyer protested.
Capt. Swindeils then took matters in his
hands and called In several officers to carry
out the order OF the court. Chase there
upon decided to leave Of his own accord

SCHOOL ATHLETICS
MATTER OF SUPERVISION BE-
FORE FACULTY ADVISERS.

The proper supervision of high school
athletics ID again endangered. it is said.
by the action of certain faculty advisers in
respect to the recent Western-Eastern
game. The game was delayed and the con-
troversy arising may. it Is said. be indefi-
nitely prolonged.
In order that the general condition Of
school athletics and the specific well-being
Of each particular school may be properly
conserved, there is appointed by the prin-
cipal in each high school a teacher who
acts special athletic adviser. The five
men-Gilbert Kelly, from the Central; Per-
cival Pagett, Eastern; Emerson w. Mat
thews. Western: Charles Hart, Business,
and Clarence Hecox. Mckinley-have en-
tire charge of school athletics.
Last spring the committee in the interest
OF school control of the athletic situation
passed an eligibility rule that pupil mi
grating from one high school to another
school games within year from the date
of his enrolment with the new school, ex-
cept by special permission of the board.
1t has been the effort of the faculty adj
visers IN the interest of high school athlet-
les to eliminate each year by legislation
and closer supervision on the part of the
school authorities some of the objection
able features which still disturb the sports.
Gases in Point.
The cases of Mr.. Bender and Mr.. Perry
OF the Eastern school came up last week
before the athletic committee. The board
in regular session discussed the cases, and
upon examination of the records decided to
allow Mr.. Perry to play, but to disqualify
Mr.. Bender.
According to authorities at the Central
High School, who cannot be considered to
have any personal feeling in the matter
Mr.. Bender, who had been transferred to
the Eastern from the Business, came I'M
der the charge of Mr.. Charles Hart of the
Business school. Mr. Hart, 1t is stated,
raised no objection to the disqualification.
Later pupils from the Eastern were dele
gated or permitted, presumably by Mr..
Padgett, to solicit at least two of the men,
bers of the board for consent to allow Mr..
Bender to play A letter from Mr.. Hart
withdrawing his objections was 1t Is said,
carried to Mr.. Kelly. Consent was given,
and by this means the Judgment and decis-
ion of the board was reversed by the indie
pendent action Of the advisers.
Protests were made, but Bender was
played. The Westerns won the game and
now feels in position to protest that this
kind of procedure Is entirely subversive of
any good that may be accomplished by the
board in moderate restriction of athletics
in the High School.
Mr.. Emery Wilson, principal of the Gen.
trail, has also expressed himself as entirely
out of sympathy with such Irregularities.
1t is confidently believed that at the next
meeting of the faculty advisers such an
understanding will be reached as will MAIN
tain the standard in school sports
