LABELLING OF WHISTLES

GENERAL TO CHANGE HIS VIEW.

Of Justice yesterday while former Commits

j. ]. Hemphill Of counsel for the blenders
delivered themselves of high-pressure dis
tillates in the way Of alcoholic arguments.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Bonaparte,
in his letter to the President under date
Of April 10. concluded with an expression
Of his views concerning the proper CLASH
fication of whisky.
It was apparent from what was said by
Messrs. Yerkes and Hemphill during the
course Of arguments dry and technical
enough to make even a camel thirsty that
the rectifiers differ with the Attorney Gen.
eral on pretty nearly every point. Todays
talk-fest was arranged by the blenders
with the idea Of inducing the Attorney
General to change his mind. From ques-
lions asked and answered by Mr.. Bona
parte during the course of the meeting to-
day. however, 1t does not appear that the
rectifers were particularly successful.
The principal force Of the arguments
were aimed at the Attorney Generals classi-

OFFICIAL KILLED BY MOB.
Terrible Crime Of Russian Peasants
Infiamed With Vodka.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 16.-A horrible
crime is reported from the village of
Apraximo. The captain of the police for
the district happened to pay a visit to the
village on market day when large num-
Der of the peasant inhabitants were drunk.
He was accompanied only by single guard
and the pair alighted at the school house.
which gave rise to the rumor that the
schoomaster, a man of great popularity.
was about to be arrested. A crowd of sew
eral thousand people surrounded the build
ing refusing to be treasured by the teach
his family to leave. Then they heaped
wood and other inflammable material
against the walls and in quarter of an
hour had converted the school house into
roaring furnace.
The police captain made a desperate at
tempt to escape. Obtaining some clothing
belonging to the wife of one OF the teach
ers, he disguised himself and slipped out
into the crowd All would have gone well
IL the boys had not espied his Vanished
boots, which he had omitted to change
In a moment the secret as out and the
maddened crowd, hurting itself upon the
doomed officer, beat his body into literally
shapeless mass and cast 1t into the flames.
The guard escaped in the confusion and
reported the matter to the authorities. Sew
eral arrests have already been made, and
the village Is in state of panic, fearing
prisals on the part of the authorities.

ASKS FOR REHEARING
WIN. q. cRAwFoRD's APPL1cA-
TON TO COURT OF APPEALa

William q. Crawford. whose conviction
Of conspiracy to defraud the United States
in connection with post Office contracts was
confirmed last Friday by the District Court
Of Appeals, yesterday. through Attorney A.
g. Worthington, applied to that court for
rehearing of the case Mr.. Worthington, in
q brief accompanying the motion, sets forth
two reasons why the motion should be
granted.
1t Is claimed by Crawford that very great
injury may have resulted, and probably did
result, to him from the exclusion Of the evil
dence as to the intent with which he took
two letters from the files of the Fabrikoid
Company. He also claims that a memo
randum book which he attempted to offer
should have been received in evidence.
The exclusion of the aforementioned evil
dence was one Of the two points on which
Chief Justice Shepard dissented to the ma
iority opinion. written by Justice Gould OF
the District Supreme Court, who sat in the
case in place of Justice Robb.
Attorney Worthington claims that 1t was
impossible in the time devoted to the oral
argument in the Court of Appeals to pre-
sent the facts as clearly as they appeared
to the court and jury at the trial. An ex-
animation now of so much of the evidence
In the record as bears upon this particular
point will. 1t is claimed, lead the court to
the conclusion that the view taken on this
matter in the majority opinion is based
upon a misconception. The whole burden
of the majority opinion on this point the
brief declares. is that the evidence of in
tent was not directly responsive to the
purpose for which alone the government
offered Aspinwalls testimony-that the
letters were taken surreptitiousiy. and IL Is
said that this conclusion Is strengthened
by an examination Of the letters; that they
contain nothing which tended in any degree
to establish the conspiracy charge.

LONDON, May 18.-One of the happlest
boys in England is Prince Edward OF
Wales, heir presumptive to the throne Of
Great Britain. He has just been fitted for
his kit as a naval cadet at Osborne.
His royal highness is revelng in the
prospect of being a sailor. His father is
aiding and abetting him in his love for the
sea, and it is probable that he will sigh
with regret when he has to take his chest
ashore and become a soldier. For mas
much as he Is in direct line to the throne,
a soldier and not sailor must he eventual
ly become.
The Prince of Wales Is insisting upon
the same routine for his son as that cuJ-
tomarily followed by candidates entered
for Osborne. Prince Edward had to UNI
dergo the viva voice. examination which
the new regulations impose on all would
be naval officers, and he came out Of the
ordeal very well.

horses and mules and tossing several men.
one of whom was seriously injured.
OF course there were practical jokers in
the crowd who shouted Here comes the
bull! whereupon everybody in the streets
would stampede and climb lamp posts, bal
comics or trees. However, a part from the
frightening process, the matter was serious
enough, as the bull. very fine animal. was
at large for two hours and was then killed.
During the panic which prevailed numbers
of people sought refuge in the houses OF
perfect strangers and refused to leave for
fear of meeting the bull.

others In some such way the thoroughfare
will regain It's luster, it is contended, and
be famed far more than in the past, and

MAKING STREETS BEAUTIFUL
CITY IMPROVEMENT AND PLANS
FOR IT'S ADVANCEMENT.
Regarding Pennsylvania
Avenue ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Re-
duction In Width Of Street.

At the May meeting of the committee on
street decorations and civic improvement,
held recently in its rooms. 1904 G
street northwest the subject of aiding in
the floral Identification of the side streets
of the city was discussed and developed the
fact that window boxes, when properly
constructed, make the most effective i'm
provement and decoration. A certain sec
ton was cited as an example, showing
that with proper guidance along such lines
the people are willing to help in beautify-
ing their part of the city.
If all citizens in the different sections Of
the city will continue the work, even IL
they do nothing more than dress up their
Towns with plants and flowers, or fresh sod
where worn places show a lack of care.
the committee believes a great deal will
be accomplished. If any one desires in
formation along any Of these lines and
headquarters, it will be answered by the
subcommittee on Landscape gardening,
plants and flowers" without charge.
The subject of what might be and ought
to be urged for Identification Of the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue was discussed,
and 1t was soon made manifest that while
the federal government is considering the
purchase of certain blocks for the erection
of public buildings, the old property is
having very little done to It, and it was
mentioned that If certain plan of plant
adornment was presented to the individual
occupants along certain blocks on the
south side they might be willing to join in
the movement for better surroundings be-
fore the government purchased 1t for the
fine marble structures.
Unsightly South Side
By far the larger part of passersby, espe-
cially strangers. it was stated, frequent
the north side of Pennsylvania avenue and
the south side. with its many irregular
houses and its untidy conditions, are in
full view throughout their walk or drive
While nearly all of the streets. by virtue of
the width as planned by L'Enfant, have
been narrowed to a third, or a half, Of
their original width. leaving thereby con-
siderable park spaces for the adjacent oc-
cupants to adorn and keep up affording
beautiful green panel for the streets and
houses, our Pennsylvania avenue has no
such green parking to be treated
A reduction of few feet in the width of
Pennsylvania avenue is regarded by the
committee as desirable 1t could easily be
made, it is argued, without damaging any
OF the traffic or property interests, yet
could. with proper treatment and plenty of
green patches of grass and trees, be made
a dream of beauty, and prove Of great
benefit, not only to the present occupants
and passers-by. but to the future magnif-
cent governmental buildings, with the
statues Of our representative men and sum
dry fountains in front to grace the finest of
thoroughfares.
