BOTH WERE CONVICTED
FINDINGS IN THE CASES OF SUR
GEoNS BROWN AND PEAsE.

Secretary Of the Navy Bonaparte has
announced the findings in the court
martial cases Of Assistant Surgeons Harry
L. Brown and Theodore N. Pease. who
were recently tried at the Washington navy
yard on the charge Of ''gouging," the naval
term for cribbing or cheating while being
examined for promotion. Assistant Surgeon
Brown is sentenced to a reduction Of fifteen
numbers in his grade, whereas Surgeon
Pease is sentenced to dismissal from the
service and the papers in his case have
been forwarded to Oyster Bay to be re-
viewed by the President. Surgeon Pease
has made request to Secretary Bona
parte that he be allowed to resign for the
good Of the service. and It is understood
that the Secretary is willing that he should
be allowed to do SO. The department has

These two officers were among a number
OF assistant surgeons who took an exami

being duplicated. Secretary Bonaparte,
upon being Informed Of this fact, ordered
q court-martial of the two officers, which
and lasted for three days. Strong evil
dence was put in by the prosecution and
almost none by the defense.
Assistant Surgeon Pease entered the
service from New York on July 10, 1908,
and was on duty on board the Columbia.
Surgeon Brown was appointed from the
District of Columbia >on January %, 1903,
and was stationed on board the Texas.

How It Was Started.

From the New York Evening Post.
Probably the most remarkable Of the larg-
er troubles Of the quarter in recent years
was the run on the Grand Street Bank,
early in 1906. Nobody ever knew why 1t
started. The depository, with its savings
annex, proved itself sound in the course
Of the disturbance. but for three days q
considerable portion of the east sides pop-
ulation was In a condition bordering on
frenzy.
Out Of nowhere. apparently. arose the ru-

savings in the institution fairly ran to
Grand street. Their friends and their
friends friends went with them Bulletins
with reassuring announcements counte ed for
nothing. Before an hour had passed Grand
street and Its tributaries looked almost as
they had done on the day Of Rabbi Joseph's
funeral. except that the police took charge
from the beginning and kept the crowds
moving. The line Of depositors anxious to
draw out their money stretched for blocks
westward, and never grew shorter in all
the three days.
Unable to stop the panic, the bank ON
GERS conceived the idea Of causing delays
by paying all the applicants In silver coin.
They calculated that the fear of the crowd
would wear Itself out. In this way they
were right. The end came as suddenly as
the run had begun. The mob melted away
gradually, having seen few carloads of
silver handed out by way OF showing good
faith and solvency. Once more the horse

other scare and was ready to forget its
fears and suppress its nervousness until the
next time.

Proceedings at Meeting Of John B.

District will be invited to participate. A
committee consisting Of John I. Bunch, w.

was appointed to represent the tent.
After comforting the initiatory ceremony
upon a candidate sergeatn James T. Rolf,
on behalf Of William II. Gray, presented
the tent with an ebony gavel. The chief
ruler accepted the same and a vote of
thanks was extended for the present.
Under good OF the order Col. o. Crosby
argued in favor Of tents Of the order being
established that would meet the fancy OF
all classes Of people, contending that in
that way professional men Of standing in
the community would more eagerly espouse
the temperance cause.
Prof Marye also advocated the same idea,
while Sergeant James T. Rolf William B.
Mills, william A. Ridgely, jr.. James Har-

THE REMoRsEFUL TIGER.
A Chinese Story of Feline Wrongdoing
and Reparation.

From the East Of Asia Magazine.
Yuan Wing was appointed magistrate OF a
district far removed from his native nome.
This district had earned an unenv1apie no.
toriety for being infested with feroclous
tigers Before Yuan had been In ONCE three
months the inhabitants applied TO their
official parent to devise some means OF re-
lieying them from their trouble. the mag
istrate. who was a knd-hearted man ana
anxious for the welfare of his nock at
once brought the matter before the spirit
whose special province 1t was to watch over
the interests Of the district and to keep Its
people from HARM by addressing 70 II the
following appeal:
"The MAGISTRATE Wing has been In office
in this district for almost three months, but
owing to his want OF ability ne mas oeeh
unable to advance the welfare OF the peo-
ple and to secure to them the blessings OF
peace and contentment. For tigers have
been creating trouble within It's boundaries,
which is without doubt due to want OF VIZ
tue on the part Of the magistrate ana can
not be regarded as in any way the Iaui! OF
the guardian spirit. The magistrate has
endeayored to find out in what respect ne
has failed In his duty, but though ne mas
searched his heart to discover his snort
comings he has not been able to md that
he has in any way neglected his duty. He
has administered justice with an even hand
and has done all In his power to relieve the
sufferings OF his people. But III ne mas not
violated his duty, II he has not been guilty
of oppression and extortion, how can the
frequent raids of tigers be explained? Must
the tiger hunters be tried for having been
remiss In their exertions to extirpate the
pest OF will the guardian spirit, prompted
by pity for the sufferings of the people. be
pleased to drive away the tigers to their
iairs in the mountains. thus preventing
them from innicting endless sorrow on the
people? Such an act Of beneficence will
earn the undying gratitude of the magis-
trate. But II the presence Of tigers In the
district is really due to the Incompetence OF
the magistrate and to his oppressive admin
istration, then let him be tried by the laws
of the empire and punished by the gods
without fear or favor"
The earnestness OF this appeal moved the
guardian spirit, for n few days after 1t had
been issued many tigers were captured
every one declaring this satisfactory result
TO be due to the benencent action OF the
spirit. About this time there was an old
widow. more than sixty years Of age who
had an only son and who depended on his
woodcutting for her living. One day hel
son. who had as usual gone into the hills tc
cut wood was seized by q tiger and de-
voured. His old mother, on hearing of the
sad occurrence, was overwhelmed with

grief. Having. however, heard how kind
and good the magistrate was. she repaired
istrate, who was much affected and felt
deep sorrow for the poor old widow, at
once issued warrant and ordered his po-
lice to arrest the tiger which had been
guilty of the enormity Of eating the wild
owls son. The police naturally did not feel
much pleased at undertaking such g dan
gerous arrest, which would probably re-
suit in their being eaten like the widows
son. But their chief was not an officer to
be trifed with and they aid not dare to
disobey his order. They Immediately pro-
ceeded to the mountains, and when they
reached there they at once made copy Of
ed as a. sacrifice. praying at the same time
to the spirit Of the mountains.
They had scarcely finished their offering
and prayers when suddenly the roar of q
tiger, waited on the breeze, reached their
ears. The roar almost frightened them
out of their wits. and when the tiger itself
suddenly appeared on the scene they felt
sure their last moments were nigh. But
warrant. behind which they carefully
screened themselves.
The tiger up to that time had worn the
most ferocious appearance but no sooner
did his flashing eyes behold the warrant
than down went his ears and tail. and his
whole demeanor changed from wild ferocity
to tame submission. He seemed to realize
at once that the majesty even of tiger
must yield to the majesty Of the law, and
he quietly followed the police without maxi
Ing any show of resistance. Arrived at the
magistrates court, the tiger at once knele
before the magistrate. who commenced to
hear the case. while the widow wept and
abused the cause of her sons death. Look
ing sternly at the tiger and pointing to the
old widow the magistrate thus addressed
the former:
This poor old widow depended for sup
port on her son. He has been devoured by
you. You beast Of Ill omen! On whom can
she now rely for a livelihood? Even II
you are condemned and put to death, how
can that compensate the widow for her
lossT
Hearing this. the tiger dropped his head
and seemed to be thoroughly repentant.
The magistrate, observing the change In
the tigers demeanor, continued:
"As I now gee youefully realize the enor-
nifty of your crime and are sincerely sorry
for what you have DONE I grant you par
don and decide that you shall henceforward
act as the son Of the old widow, whose
wants. both as regards food and clothes, II
will be your duty to supply
The tiger looked much relieved and al
once nodded q ready assent He was then
released and scampered of to the hills.
The same evening he returned carrying in
his mouth a deer. which he placed at the
widows door. aftSS having scratched II

Bricklayers Absolutely Firm.

Another bricklayer said the striking men,
bers Of his craft will not go back to work
until the master plumbers and the Journey
men settle their differences to the satisfac-
ton of each side. He added that the brick
layers were absolutely firm in the step
they have taken, land that there is plenty
Of work in Pennsylvania and other states
where bricklayers are in demand. and that
the local men will leave here before they
will be forced to yield unwillingly.
1t was remarked that 1t has been nearly
twenty years since the union bricklayers of
the District have taken action jointly with
other trades and gone on strike.
When Mr.. James L. Marshall, president
of the Master Builders Association, was
asked by a Star reporter this afternoon as
he did not know. He also said he did not
know of any change or development in the
strained building situation.
It Is said that the journeymen plumbers
are ready to hold conference with their
former employers with the view of reliev-
ing the tension and bringing about a re-
sumption Of work, and they have SO COM
municated with the master plumbers. 1t
is also said that the master plumbers are
averse to holding any conference with the
journeymen. declaring they have nothing to
confer about or to arbitrate.
Action by Central Labor Union.
It is the opinion of leading workingmen

body will take important action looking to
the settlement Of the strike and lockout or
else, as a member expressed 1t, putting
the master workmen sQuarely on record as
the real obstructtonists."
The discord among the building trades and
the master builders is being felt on the river
by the companies engaged in taking sand
and gravel from the bed of the river for
building operations here. 1t is stated that
since the strike now in progress, was in
augurated, there has been a heavy decline
In the demand for building sand, and un-
less the trouble is adjusted very shortly
1t is stated that several of the digging ma
chimes now at work at points down the
river will be laid up indefinitely. a result
being that the employees in the vessels
would be thrown out Of employment. Al
