CLEVELAND WANTS INQUIRY
Declares Responsibility for Sons
Death Should Be Fixed.
Calls Upon Gen. Harries for Court OF
ing of Young MiIitiaman,

William Cleveland. father Of Melvin L.
Cleveland, who was drowned on the
morning Of November q near Blacki-
stons Island. while on a cruise with the
United states steamer Oneida. has ad-
dressed Gen. George H HaTries. COM
nlander Of the District militia, requesting
a court Of inquiry into the young man s
death. The father does not believe that
the proper proceedings have been followed
to place the responsibility Of the accident.
Young Cleveland. ut the time OF the ac-
cident, was boatswain's mate on the
Oneida. which was on q cruise down the
Potomac TO meet President Roosevelt on
his return from Panama. Cleveland has
secured the services OF Rosa F. Down
ing and George a Perry as his counsel.
He requests public investigation. and
asks remission to be represented by his
attorneys.
". II. Love, proprietor of Colton's Ho-
tel. on the Potomac, who has been search
ing for the body Of young Cleveland since
the drowning, was in Washington yester-
day. He took charge of the search at
the request of Gen. Harries. a reward Of
500 has been offered for the recovery of
the remains.
The bottom Of the river, which is forty
one feet deep at places in the vicinity of
Biackistons Island, near where the ac-
cident occurred. has been dragged. Love
has searched along the banks OF the river
for miles. on both the Virginia and Mary
land sides. Nothing except the young
mans hat has been found. This was
picked Up three weeks ago.
All the people who live along the river
have been notified to keep a lookout for
the body Love will continue the search
until the remains are located He believes
that possibly the body may not rise to the
surface until spring.
Gen. HaTries said last night that he be-
lieved such a letter had been received at
his Office, but he had not given it his per-
sonaI attention. He further stated that
he could see no reason why there should
be such a court of inquiry held

Senator Carter, who resides IN SIX
teenth street northwest, took occasion
in the Senate yesterday afternoon to
.denOunce the motive power employed
by the herdic line which conveys the
Senator To and from his home as ''oid
crow-bait horses that ought 10 be the .
subject Of action by the Humane So
ciety."
Senator Gallinger. in charge of the
District Of Columbia affairs. explained
that the herdic company paid no
taxes
'"The condition Of the horses would
not warrant the assessment Of any
taxes" retorted Senator Carter in the
midst Of laughter.
We'll" said the near horse 10 the far
horse. as the pair logged along Fifteenth
street last evening. I see our troubles
have at last reached the Senate
The conversation started just as the
driver Of the herdic called a halt at a
crossing to let out a passenger. The
near horse had crossed his legs and was
preparing To stand around and enjoy HIM
self But the driver had a different view.
In fact he didn't know his horses were
holding a conference.
Yes" replied the far horse. but did
YOU notice the insinuatiOns that were
cast at US? not worth the assessment OF
taxes That makes me sore"
Grinding Away for the Lazy.
We've been sore a long time" con-
tinued the war horse, with all these
automobiles and street cars and all this
talk about doing away with horses, and
all the time here we are grinding our
lives away just for the benefit of a few
people not fond of walking.
He was angry and tired, and had come
to the conclusion long ago that he should
be on the pension list Of herdic horses
and enjoying himself Mid the green
fields OF Virginia
The driver and the pedestrians in the
street paid no attention 10 the old horse,
but he talked just the same, with only
one listeneT-his partner.
Il am in favor of doing away with the
herdic and its motive power. But come
TO think Of it, We might be handed some
thing worse. For instance, cab. or "a
garbage wagon. The Senator referred to
Us as old crow-baits He said other
things not complimentary. No one has
heard our side Of the story.
Granted that we are 'crow-baits,' and
not worth the assessment Of any taxes.
il isn't our fault Neither are we good
looking, but certainly we are not 10

take up our case. It would be interest

more particularly you and me. We court
an investigation. If the matter is ever
considered, I am confident that we. the
horses. the crow-baits. or whatever you
mind to call us. will come out victorious. IS
You are doing a lot of talking" said
the far horse, and not saying anything.
What I want to know is, Can you see
our fnlsh?"
We'll, hardly" was the answer. You
know I've been nearly blind for years. "
And as the old herdic and the old
horses ratified down the smooth-paved
thoroughfare, the drift of the converse
ton was lost

takes up the heTdic horse case again.
