HEARING CONCLUDED.
Police Board Considering Crap Game
Evidence

Assistant Corporation Attorney Sinclair,
chairman, and Capt. Swindells and Lieut..
Elliott, associate members of the police
trial board, concluded the hearing in the
investigation of the alleged crap games In
the Georgetown police station at yester-
days session. Mr.. Lambert counsel for
the three policemen, Walsh, Hoffman and
Lafeger, further examined his clients.
From them the board heard of their rec
ords during the time they have been con-
nected with the police force. Policeman
Walsh denied the statements attributed to
him by Policeman Short and said he may
have joked with Policeman Hall about the
affair that was under investigation.
Policeman Hoffman, who made his state
ment to the board Wednesday, said he had
been on trial on a prior occasion. Neglect
OF duty was the charge against him. he
said, and there was something said in the
case about cards.
Policeman Laleger said that he was tried
on charge of neglect of duty and ac-
quilted. He explained that there was no
reason why the charge should have been
brought.
This closed the testimony and the board
listened to the argument of counsel. Mr..
Lambert argued that his clients should be
acquitted of all the charges against them.
Even If they had thrown dice or "bones, -
ne dTSueU, IHey WOuiO nave ndQ SuCh right
while off duty so long as they did not vio-
late the provisions of the gambling law.
He characterized the testimony that two
Of them had engaged in a game for $50 a
throw as absurd. and said that If such a
thing had come to the knowledge of the
chairman of the board he would most GER
tainly have issued a writ de lunatico in
quirendo. Respecting the charge that they
had made false statements to the superfn-
tendent of police. counsel argued they were
obligation make
such statements. The statements in ques-
ton, he declared, were similar to those told
before the trial board and there was not
one word of testimony given to contradict
them. He said ne would admit that Walsh
might be held to have joked with his
brother officers, but nothing more.
The testimony in the case will be gone
over by the board before a recommendation
is made to the chief of police. Later the
papers in the case will be transmitted to
the Commissioners for the recommendation
of the board and superintendent of police
to be passed upon.

Blew Out the Gas.

Ethel Grants early impression of city life
was net such as to make her think her
future prospects are bright She came from
Charles county, Md, where she had been in
the habit of blowing out the blazing oil
lamps and tallow dips, and she possibly
did the same thing when she wanted to
darken her room in the city last night. She
was at per place of employment, 1908 Q
street, and the escaping gas came near
causing her to die. She was in critical
condition this morning when found in her
room, and was removed to the Emergency
Hospital in the ambulance 1t was all the
doctors could do to save her life. She was
unconscious and had probably been in that
condition several hours. After she had
been at the hospital a short time she show
ed signs of improving and the doctors think
she will recover.

DECIDE TO POSTPONE.
Formation of Society of Civil Engineers
to Be Considered Later.

The local members of the American so
cfety of Civil Engineers failed to reach an
agreement as to the organization OF locai
association at a meeting held last night,
and the committee in charge OF the prepa-
ration of the bylaws was continued ana
directed to report at a meeting to pc heio
next fall. In the meantime three members
of the committee were instructed to attend
the annual meeting sof the society, to be
held in Cleveland shortly, when efforts VIII
be made to bring about an amicable agree
ment between the national association ana
the promoters of the local organization
The failure to agree 1T was explained,
does not mean that the members of the pro-
posed organization are at odds as to Its
formation. Quite the contrary sentiment
prevails They are all anxious to have the
association formed, but there was a differ
ence of opinion as to the adoption of GER
tain clause in the bylaws which permits
the admission to membership of any per-
son a resident within fifty miles of Wash
ington who is actively engaged or profess
sonally interested in civil engineering. This
particular clause was rejected by the board
of directors of the national organization
when the plan for the local association was
submitted to them, the board deciding that
if any persons other than members of the
American society should be admitted as
members. the organization could not be
affiliated with the national body.
This was the question that came up for
consideration last night, and 1t thor
oughly discussed. The sentiment displayed
at the meeting was friendly to the Ameri-
can society although some of the members
believed that Independent organiZat ton
could be effected here. By independent is
meant that an organization of Washington
engineers solely could be formed. Member
ship and utilization with such an assocfa-
ton would not in any degree affect the
membership of local engineers in the Ameri-
can society.
AS a result of the sentiment shown no
vote was taken on the bylaws, the action
in continuing the committee being substi-
tuted \ vote was taken, however on the
proposition to organize az association of
engineers, consisting of the four principal
branches of the profession, and the result
was tell votes for and II votes against
Gen. Alexander Mackenzie chief of en-
Sineers of the army, who presided at the
meeting, withheld his vote, and the matter
was allowed to stand in allegiance on the
report of the committee to be made next
fall.
There was a small attendance at the
meeting, and after the business had been
disposed of buffet lunch was served
