NOW BUT PLEASING MEMORY
CANCELS ANTICIP.:.
TON WITH THE STAR BOYS.
Luna Park Outing Behind Them, But
Was Fast and Furious While
It Lasted.

With plea sant memories Of a day we'll
spent some four hundred juvenile Wash
ingtonians, newsboys for The Evening
Star, have been meeting at various places
in town today to recount the delightful ex-
periences of the outing provided for them
at Luna Park yesterday. Incidents of the
day there were in profusion, which might
now be related as indicating the hearty
spirit in which the boys entered into all
the amusements provided for them. AnG
1t might be said that the score or more
route agents, who are charged with the
daily duty of distributing The Evening
Star to city subscribers, are content to rest
upon their laurels, because they achieved
the apparently impossible feat Of corralling
all Of their boys in season to bring them
back to the city by the time The Star
should be the street. To be sure, a
heart-to-heart talk with the management
Of Luna Park was necessary before this re-
suit was accomplished. and for nearly an
hour the various amusement enterprises
in the resort stood still SO that the boys
could be persuaded to forsake the chutes,
the coaster, Chateau Alphonse, circle
swing and a dozen other things, each of
them much more attractive to the juve-
nile heart than patrolling the city streets
and dropping papers at the places ap-
pointed on each route.

AHEARN TO BLAME
BY COMMISSIONERS OF ACCOUNTS
IN REPORT TO MAYOR.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE report sub
mitted to Mayor Mcclellan yesterday by
the commissioner of accounts leaves the
mayor no alternative but to send charges
against Borough President John F. Ahearn
to Gov Hughes as result Of the recent in
vestigation of Ahearn's administration.
The report Is an extraordinary indict-
ment of Mr.. Ahearn's administration, and
holds him solely responsible for all the ir-
Irregularities which have been exposed. His
acts in stripping his subordinates Of pow
er and discretion and assuming full control
of all the five bureaus. making all appoint
ments, transfers and orders for repairs.
lecting favored contractors and dispensing
the plums and patronage of the depart
ment are dwelt upon as showing his en-
tire official responsibility.
Each Of the Ave bureaus is severaly
condemned for various Irregularities. vary
ing from graft to utter uselessness In
addition to the exposure of rotten condi-
lions in the different bureaus the com
missioners find that the system of doing
business and keeping books in the borough
offices Is archaic.
Acting on the report. Mayor Mcclellan
will today forward the findings to Gov
Hughes with letter, which will be viz
tually recommendation for Mr.. Ahearn's
| removal, without saying SO in so many
words.
The mayor does not feel that he is called
upon to make any explicit recommendation.
The mower of removal rests with the gov
ernor. and the mayor feels that the gov
ernor can judge of the facts just as we'll
as he. In his letter, however. the mayor
will by implication, point out the need
of drastic measures in dealing with Mr.
Ahearn.
Ahearn's Trial Seems Sure.
His action renders a trial of Ahearn
by the governor almost Inevitable II
Is assumed that Gov. Hughes will soon
after receiving the mayors letter and
the report of the commissioners of ac-
counts fix a date for hearing at which
Mr.. Ahearn will have a chance to ex-
plain.

wanted to take him to Redland to be seen
by the grandmother of the wounded man.
The police department would not turn
him over to the sheriff, however, and It was
the intention of the Maryland officers 10

over the matter they reached the conclusion
that Jet was not the man, and he was dis
charged.

A Native Dish.

Stephen Thaw, nephew of Har-
ry Kendall Thaw, is a missionary in
Syria, and to his friends in Pitts
burg the young man occasionally
writes the most amusing letters.
In a recent letter Mr.. Thaw de-
scribed a dinner that Chinese mer-
chant had given to an English trav-
eler in remote Syrian town.
The Chinaman could speak no
English, and the Englishman could
speak no Chinese. Nevertheless the
dinner went off very agreeably. The
two men sat facing one another in
silence while neat Chinese butler
served them dish after dish of sur
passing delicacy.
There was one dish especially that
pleased the Englishman. 1t was a
rich stew of onions, pork, mush-
rooms and dark, tender, well fla
vored meat that seemed like duck.
The Enghshman ate heartily of
this stew. Then he closed his eyes
and lifted his hands and shook his
head with an air Of ecstasy. After
this pantomimic compliment to the
dish he said interrogatiyely:
"Quack, quack ?"
ENo, no." said the Chinaman;

Chanler of New York, but the
men who were back of it, healed
by the Bryan Democratic League
of New York, sat mute during
all the crucial period of the meet
ing and only dared to come out
into the open and advocate the

after the meeting was over and
most of the Bryan men had left
the city.
The sending of the convention
to Denver was, of course, merely
a matter of money. Denver held
up a purse of $1OO, 900 before the
lean nose of the hungry Demo-
cratic donkey and when it did so
the braying could be heard for
blocks. Perhaps it was not sur
prising, as it is long time since
the Democracy has had that much
money to divide among the faith
full. Il don't think you will need
anything like that sum for the
expenses of the convention, "
said Senator Teller, speaking for
Denver, "but if there is any left
over you will know what to do
with it," and the shout which
greeted his remark testified to
the accuracy with which the Sen
ator had gauged the weak spot
of his fellow Democrats. The
discussion of that 100000 a.
reused the only note of enthus-
iasm in the entire convention.
