UNDER SERIOUS CHARGE.
Two Young Men Alleged to Have Con-
spired to Violate Law.


Assistant United States Attorney Stuart
MacNamara and Henry II. Hesse, examiner
OF the civil service commission. appeared
before United States Commissioner Arson
s. Taylor at noon today, where Mr.. Hesse
made an affidavit alleging that Charles
Elmer Watson. said to be a clerk In
government department in this city, and his
brother. James Watson. who 1t Is stated
resides in St. Louis. Mo-, had violated sec
ton $40 Of the Revised Statutes of the
United States
AS soon as Commissioner Taylor had wit
messed the signing OF the affidavit the war
rant was issued for the arrest of the young
men and delivered into the possession of
Mr.. MacNamara, to be delivered to the
marshal Of the District Of Columbia for
service.
1t is alleged that Charles Elmer Watson
and his brother entered into a conspiracy
to procure an appointment for the latter
and that after the brother had made his
application to the civil service commission
to stand an examination In competition for
position he was ordered to report u, The
city for the examination.
1t is alleged that Instead of coming to this
city he notified his brother, Charles Elmer
Watson, who appeared before the examiner
was passed and the brother, James Watson,
was given an appointment and Is now To-
Gated in st. Louis in the office to which
he was appointed.
Shortly after noon today the district at
torney's office stated 1t was more than
probable that the warrant for Charles FL
mer Watson would be served during the
afternoon. 7a.
This case will no doubt attract attention
as 1t was thought that the records Of the
civil service commission were so thorough
that there was no possibility of such an
onense as that alleged being committed.

ICE COUNSEL DEFEATED
TOLEDO JUDGE ovERRULED PLEA
OF ATTORNEYS.

TOLEDO, August 3.-Judse Babcock. IN
common pleas court, handed down today
his decision In the ice case. sustaining Judge
Kincaid in every particular and exonsrat-
ing him of having made any promise or
suggestion of Ieniency, as claimed by the
attorneys for the ice trust.
The Judge declared the contentious OF tire
attorneys for the trust to be ridiculous and
should never have been brought into court
Were It not for the fact that the icemen's
attorneys succeeded In getting into circuit
court on error the defendants would at once
have to go to the workhouse. Technically
their cases are yet pending In the upper
courts. although Judge Babcock's decision
removes the case entirely from circuit
court. That court, however. Is adjourned
until the middle of September. and SEN
fences are suspended until the court meets
and decides 1t has nothing further to do
with the cases
Should the attorneys for the icemen APP
peal from Judge Babcock to the circuit
court. which they are likely to do. that
court will either send the cases back for
rehearing in common pleas court or by de-
claring there Is no error cut of the last
hope of the icemen to escape Imprisonment.

GEN. MACARTHUR RETURNS.
Resumes Command Of the Pacific Divi
sion OF the Army.

Major Gen. Arthur Macarthur arrived
at San Francisco today and resumed his
duties in command of the Pacific division.
During the closing days of the Russian
Japanese war Gen. Macarthur was sent
to Manchuria for duty with the Russian
army, as an observer. but peace was de-
ciared soon after his arrival at the seat
of activity. Since then he has made visits
of inspection of military posts in Japan,
China and India. and returned to the
United States by way OF Honolulu.
Major Gen. A. w. Greedy, who was as
signed to the command of the Pacific divf-
sion during the absence of Gen. MacAr-
thur has been relieved of that duty and
will take command OF the northern division
with headquarters at st. Louis On the
statutory retirement of Lieut.. Gen. Henry
C. Corbin. September 10 next.
1t has been previously announced that
Gen Macarthur will be promoted to the
grade OF lieutenant general on the retire
ment of Gen. Corbin next month, and il
is now stated that the precedent set In
the case of Gen. Corbin will probably be
followed In the case of Cen Macarthur,
that Is, that Gen. MacArthtir n1tWith-
standing his promotion TO the highest rank
In the army, will continue in command of
one OF the military divisions, and Brit Gen.
]. f. Bell win serve as chief OF stan, the
office of greatest power and dignity in the
army. II Is said. but not generally credit
ed, that Gen. Macarthur prefers San
Francisco to Washington city an place Of
residence

OFFICIALLY DECIDED.
Status Of Streets and Alleys Defined
by Corporation Counsel.

Corporation Counsel E. H. Thomas today
presented a legal opinion to the Commits
soners concerning the relative status Of
streets and alleys. the statement being
made that there Is no difference In the two
classes of thoroughfares In the eyes of the
law. The determination of this question is
regarded as OF particular Importance. since
it apparently clothes the Commissioners
with full authority to order the improve
ment of minor streets and alleys as they
now secure the Improvement of other and
more important local highways.
Health Officer Woodward brought up the
question on which the opinion of the cor
poration counsel was given on account of
the condition OF three minor streets in
Georgetown--namely. Scott's street, Cation
street and Brown street. otherwise known
as Browns alley. Inspector E. W, Whit
alser of the health department made a re-
port the three. stating that they were
In urgent need of Improvement In the In
terest of public health. Under an existing
law the Commissioners are authorized to
improve iusanitary conditions of alleys,
and this analysis of the statute by the cor
poration counsel clears vexed point and
makes 1t obvious that the local authorities
can order the abolition of insanitary condi-
tions even though they exist on thorough
fares which are specifically designated as
streets.

81 coo to $500 Commissioner Taylor stated
that the attorney for the defense could ap-
peal to higher court IL he deemed the

ginia for trial The defendants were asked
In court this morning as to the trouble that

Creek Park. is not within the jurisdiction of
the District government. This assertion
was made by the Commissioners today in
reply to several recent complaints regarding
the condition Of the thoroughfare. and 1t
was pointed out that Adams Mil road is
inside the boundaries of the Geological
Park

road was q statement by George Prince
of 18th street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest to the effect that the driveway
is covered with thousands of small, sharp,
hinty stones. which are harmful both to the
tires of wagons and to horses feet Mr..
Prince also declared that automobilists use
the place as speedway and that the horse
less vehicles are driven at such a pace at
this entrance to the park that the lives of
pedestrians and the drivers Of other cars
and of teams are In constant danger.
This latter portion of the complaint was
referred 30 Maj. Sylvester by the Commits
sioners. and bicycle policeman from the
tenth precinct will be stationed on the
