DENY MITCHELLs CLAIM.
Spanish War Veterans say They Had
Good Place at Arlington.

a body Of District United Spanish War
Veterans last night characterized the ac-
tion of Capt. Walter Mitchell. department
commander, in Withdrawing from the field
at Arlington on Friday as rejecting on
the President and the Rough Riders. and
entirely without cause.
Capt Mitchell, in a statement after he
had returned to the city charged Gen.
Harries and Col Ureu with treatment
| discourteous to the veterans. and said he
ordered his men from the field in their
military capacity, allowing them to re-
main as civilians, but not in ranks. This
order he claimed was obeyed, and his
reason for it. he says, was the position
given his men al the unveiling ceremo-
nies. and which he termed the discour-
teous conduct of the officers in charge Of
the troops
To this statement Capt. Foster COM
mander of Miles Camp, made the follow
ing reply last night in the name OF his
camp. and with the authority of Past
Commander RauscE. Comrade IRE. J. p.
Ripple, departmental aid. and ". A
Bayless, Of Harden Camp, and many
other representatives of the various
camps:
In the first place. I am certain that
Capt Mitchell was the only man 10 leave
the field. and he left it with his men
standing ia line and in a fine position in
front OF the Presidents stand / heard
no orders TO disband. nor would I have
disbanded if 1 had. Nor have I seen any
member Of the organization who heard
any such orders given. In fact. the first
knew of Capt. Mitchelrs summary de
parture was in reading the newspapers.
For his action ] am quite certain that he
will be called To account The veterans
We're in a position from which they could
easily see the President and in which
they could be easily seen by him, for ne
spoke TO many of them.
we cannot possibly make any com
plant against the treatment we received
at Arlington, nor can we say too much
Tor the manner in which the ceremonies
We're conducted by the authorities. in
cluding Gen. HaTries and Col Urell We
telephoned TO Mrs. CaprOn who was in
charge of tie ceremonies, our sincere
apologies that such a Misrepresentation
of our organization should have been
made, and assured her that We We're
fully appreeiahve of her splendid man
| agement. The matter will be more fully
discussed at our meeting on Monday
night at ST. Joseph's Hall.

call ]. G. HOff's Experience.
IndOrsed and Then Paid 800 Cheek
for Man He Had Casually Met
in Charlottesville, Va.

Nearly 1900 circulars requesting the
arrest Of II. II. Harding. aged hfty-five.
who is wanted in this city on the charge
Of passing worthless checks, were mailed
from police headquarters yesterday to the
police chiefs. bank cashiers, and hotel
clerks of the principal cities of the coun-
try. The circular also shows a facsimile
of the check which he passed in this city
in order that a specimen of his handwrit-
ing might be furnished
The man is wanted in this city on the
charge of passing "a worthless check for
500 on J. G. Hon, a commission merchant
whose Office is at sos Fifth street north
west. He had gained Mr. Hoff's conf
dence after a casual meeting in Char
lottesville, Va, and on a visit to Wash
ington he requested to be introduced to
one of the local banks for the purpose of
opening an account.
Thinking that the man was all right.
Hon went with him 10 deposit a check
of $3.50. he then indorsed the S100 check
which the man had being satisfied that
he was safe in dolng so. The check fer
the deposit has since been found to be
even as worthless as the one which Hon
ind0rsed Subsequently, at Charlottes-
vile, he requested G l. Hulfsh, an
agent for King & Co, groeers. Of Alex
andria, Va, whom he knew was an in
innate friend of Hofrs. to cash the
check, saying that he had reached town
too late to get into the banks. Seeing
Hoff's name on the paper, Hufish
thought the venture safe and accord
ingly added the name of his company,
which, when shown at the bank, was
promptly accepted as sufficient indorse-
ment. The check came back to Mr. Hoff
unhOnored.
The authorities here have since learned
that Harding is also wanted IN Baltimore
on a similar charge, having passed q
worthless check on c. S. Campbell for
$500

The condemnation of the city NAV,

The condemnation of the city mayor
and council that is heard about town
reminds us of how easy it is to con-
denim others who are doing their best,
and also shows the trend of humanity
to abuse a free horse. This is case
of the city fathers being damned
whether they do or do not. If they
fail to do what a certain number of
people ask and what these people
probably feel that they should do they
are condemned in no uncertain terms;
when on the other hand if they did do
this very thing there is also likeli-
hood that they would receive equally
if not more criticism from others.
And there you are. For our part we
feel that men who will accept posi-
lions such as these deserve the sup
port and commentator of all the peo-
pie, for it is surely little enough
thanks they get for what they do.
