ATTORNEY LENDS DOLLAR.
Helps a Violator of Compulsory Edu
cation Law.

When the case of William Kirk, 1926 Az
street southwest, who is employed as a
fireman at a local department store, and
who was charged withs failing to send his
thirteen-year-old girl to school, was called
in the Police Court today distressing con-
dition, it is claimed, was found to exist in
the home. At the conclusion of the trial
Judge Kimball imposed a fine of 81.
1t was shown by the Defense it is claimed
that Mr.. Kirk had much trouble in his fam
lily. One daughter had been Ill for several
months with typhoid pneumonia. His wife
was suffering much pain on account Of
severe burns, which were received as the
result of stove explosion in the house, and
is unable to do any work. The daughter
whom the attendance officer desired to
have sent to school, Is an invalid, it was
claimed, on account of having been kicked
In the head when child, and doctors, 1t is
said, had advised that the girl be not
pushed in her studies until she becomes
well. The girl, it was claimed, had been
kept at home to do what she could to help
her sick mother and sister.
Judge Kimball held that the failure to
send the child to school was violation of
the law and imposed the penalty. The fire.
man, defendant did not have 81 with which
to pay the fine, but Attorney Campbell Car
rington loaned the prisoner the necessary 81
and he was released.

PRIVATE DETECTIVES, RIGHTS.
Acquitta1 Of Local Student Regarded
as IMPORTANT,

The charge against Allen j. Slattery,
local college student, charged with practic-
ing the trade of a detective without hav-
ing first registered, in following Mrs. c. E.
Tribbey of Euclid street northwest, came to
trial in the Police Court yesterday after
noon. On a matter of law, Judge Kimball
held that the defendant could not be held,
and he directed the jury. to acquit the
prisoner.
The case has attracted wide attention, es-
pecially from the detectives of Washington
and vicinity, as 1t was expected that the
rights and privileges of private detectives
would be defined by the court. The de-
cision, therefore, is regarded as of great
importance.
The testimony in the case for the govern
ment showed. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Trib-
hey was annoyed by man following her
and that she complained to the police.
There was testimony, it Is claimed, to show
that Slattery had watched the house where
she lived and that he had once followed her
the detective was employed in connection
with divorce suit which was then pend
ing.
The case was brought under the law re-
quiring persons acting as private detec-
tives to get a license. But Judge Kimball
held after reading the law that the license
regulation related only to detectives en-
ployed in hunting for criminals and that
Slattery was not hunting criminals in this
case and was therefore not compelled to get
a license.
Upon that ground verdict of acquittal
was rendered.

then a part Of the District Of Columbia, the
Goth day of September. 1882. In his younger
days he was in the express business In this
city, giving up that business to become a
member Of the police force the day it
was organized. About five years after his
appointment he was promoted, and as SER
geant he was detailed as hack inspector.
During the latter part of January, 1875. he
was made lieutenant, and four years later
he was promoted to fill the Office Of captain
and inspector. During part of the time that
he was captain he was In charge of the old
detective corps at headquarters and was
one of the advisers Of the superintendent OF
police.
Assassination Of Garfield.
Deceased was filing the ONCE Of captain
and inspector at the time of the assassina-
ton of President Garfield, and was on duty
at headquarters when Policeman Kearney
crested Charles J. Guiteau, the assassin. A
large crowd assembled at headquarters,
and, it is stated, it was partly due to the
conduct of Capt. Vernon that trouble was
avoided. Shortly after the assassination OF
President Garfield the police force was re-
organized, the detective corps being legis-
lated out of Office. Vernon continued to
serve as captain until July, 1885. when he
resigned captain and was sent to the
fourth precinct in the capacity of lieuten-
ant. In August, 1897, the lieutenant was
reduced to the grade of private of the sec
ond class and was detailed at headquar-
|. tiers as assistant to the chief of police.
AS a private he remained on duty until
November, 1903, when he concluded that
he had served the department long enough
to be retired, and in order to give recogni-
ton Of his long and faithful service he was
promoted to the rank of lieutenant and
given a pension of SIS month. Having
purchased g. farm near Falls Church, Va.
the retired policeman spent most of his time
In the country, coming to the city during
the severe weather in winter and living
with his children. The deceased was q
Mason, Odd Fellow and was a member Of
the Red Men.
Mrs. Vernon and two daughters, Mrs.
Granville NJ. Hunt and Mrs. John r. Mont
gcmery survive. Arrangements have been
made to hold the funeral at 2:45 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon from the F street resi-
dence. Rev. Weston Bruner will off1ciate

Committee Of Inspection Reports Them
Insanitary.

The fact that the police stations i'm the
District are insanitary and in urgent need
OF improvements was emphasized in the re-
port made to the Commissioners yesterday
by 8. w. Curriden Of the Board of Trade
and Charles Linkins Of the Business Mems
Association. who were members of the COM
mittee which recently conducted the annual
inspection of the local police department.
Relative to the members of the police force
they reported very favorably. saying that
they found throughout the force a uniform
ly high grade of manhood and duty-lovinr
men. of whom the District should feel.
proud.
The information regarding the stations
was not surprising or new to the Commits
sioners. as they have included an item in
their annual estimates for next year for an
appropriation to erect modern cells and in
stall better ventilation and sewerage faciIi-
ties In such stations where they are needed
The more trivial conditions which Messrs
Curriden and Linkins called TO the Com
missioners' attention will be attended TO at
once.

The hearings upon application to the Sec
rotary Of War for permission to transmit

the Canadian side of Niagara river were
closed last night. Additional data will be
filed and Secretary Taft announced that he
would not be able to reach a decision In re-
gard to the applications until he had con-
ferred with Secretary Root. That confer
ence is necessary because Of the effect the
contracts may have upon an International
treaty providing against perceptible inter-
ference with the grandeur of the Niagara

about January 1. If possible The hearings
before Secretary Taft were for the pur-
pose Of enabling him to find way to euui-

Commissioner Mcfarland was notified
this morning OF the action Of the Business
Mems Association last night indorsing the
proposition to have municipal exhibit at
the jamestown exposition. and stated that
he would at once bring the matter to the
attention of the Commissioners with view
to early action. At the conference which
Mr.. Mcfarland held with Gen. Wilson,
president Of the Board of Trade: Capt.
Oyster. president of the Business Mems
Association, and Mr., Bell, president Of the
Jobbers and Shippers Association. on this
subject last month Mr.. mcfarland said that
when the proposition had been onicially
approved by the three organizations which
they represented he would bring 1t for
mally before the Commissioners for their
action as to the recommendation to be
made to Congress for an appropriation for
the purpose. The presidents OF the organi-
xations have appointed committees to press
the matter and they will probably confer
with the Commissioners about the course
to be pursued AS the time is short, prompt
action Is necessary.
