ARMY MEDICAL MUSEUM,
Spent Thirty-Five Years Among
Grim Relics Of War-Buried

After a remarkable experience of thir-
ty-five years in handling and classifying
grim relics of war and CHASTITY mementos
of at least two national tragedies. David
Flynn. late superintendent of the exhibits
In the Army Medical Museum, was buried
In Arlington National cemetery this after
noon. Mr.. Flynn died suddenly Wednes-
day. The funeral took place from his late
home, 211 10th street northeast, at 2
O. clock today, Rev. Father Fealy of St.

a lone bugler had sounded taps" lights
out
While superintendent of the army medi-
cal museum it fell to the lot of Mr.. Flynn
to place many gruesome reminders of the
civil war and the war with Spain in the
exhibition cases. There were skulls of
Confederate and Union soldiers splintered
by mimic balls or shattered by grape and
canister; those of the soldiers in the war
with Spain showing the clear-cut holes
made by the small and swift Mauser
projectiles and many other things that
served to illustrate the harvest Of death
In war.
Supt Flynn knew the assassin of Pres
ident Garfield, having talked with him
after the commission of the crime. Fol-
lowing his execution at the District Jail,
Guiteaus body was removed to the Army
Medical Museum. then located in the old
Ford Theater building on 10th street. BY
a strange coincidence the remains of one
assassin OF a President was taken to the
building in which the lamented Lincoln
was shot and there articulated.
Mr.. Flynn had not been employed at
the museum for several years, owing to
ill-health, due to his army service. At
the time of the outbreak of the civil war
he enlisted and went to the front. after
having previously served in the regular
army. He was seventy years of age and
had resided in this city since 1854, and
had lived in the house where he died since
1864 He was a writer of ability and
note. having contributed many articles to
the Medical Record and other publica-
tons. He was popular among his fellow
clerks.
His wife and four children. George H.
Flynn of this city, David A.Flynn of
Philadelphia, Pa, Mrs. DR.. Butz and Mrs
Bartholomew Daily. survive him.

BIeBER STILL IS PEnSIONER
NAME ORDERED RESTORED BY
JUSTICE CLABAUGH.
Commissioners May Appeal-Vested
Right in Fund Sustained
by Court.

Sidney Bieber. former fire marshal of
the District of Columbia. is still a PEN
sioner of the fire department pension
fund.
Chief Justice Clabaugh today decided
that a writ of mandamus should issue to
the District Commissioners requiring
them to restore to the rolls of the fire de-
partment pension fund the name of Sid
ney Bieber. The Commissioners, it is I'M
derstood, will appeal from the decision.
Without deciding whether Congress had
the right to require medical examination
for the beneficiaries of the pension fund
and to authorize the Commissioners to
reduce or take away the pension. the
chief justice found that the Commission
ers had acted hastily in not affording
Mr.. Bieber an opportunity to appear and
to the order for the medical examination.
Mr.. Biebers claim that he has vested
right in the fund must be sustained.
The chief justice differentiated the
status of the police and f1remen pension
funds from the pension given by the
sailors. The latter. he declared. is
bounty subject to the will of Congress.
and the failure of that body to appropri-
ate for the pension would destroy the
right OF the pensioner.
In this case. however. he held that by
the payment of the monthly contribution
from his salary to the fund Mr.. Bieber
acquired a vested right in it when he
had been brought within the limits Of its
benefit.
The Commissioners have the right, he
held. to make reasonable regulations for
the conduct of this fund. but, having dis
charged a man from the service and
taken away his salary and awarded a
pension. they could not then take away
the pension without at least giving him
an opportunity to be heard.
The notice to appear for examination
was not sufficient, the chief justice said,
because 1t was not shown that illness or
some other cause might not have pre-
vented his attendance at the time speci-
fed. A subsequent notice in the nature
of a rule to show cause should have
been given Mr.. Bieber.
Attorney A. A. Birney represented Mr..
B;eber and Corporation Counsel Thomas
appeared for the Commissioners.

patches Of exposed laths where the plas-
ter had fallen on.

ers is small and these passageways are
easily blockaded.

from the first floor and one fire escape
from the second floor There is no fire
escape from the third floor The interior
stairways were found fireproof.

CASSIDY PRODUCES LETTERS

OPPOSE HUGHES WISHES.

Against Racing Bill.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ITHACA. N. Y, October 30.-State Sen
ator Owen Cassidy OF Watkins, whose
vote killed the Hughes anti-racing legis-
lation the first time it was up, and who
Is making an independent fight for re-
nomination in the fortieth district, fol-
lowing his rundown by the republican
organization, last night made q bitter at
tack on the boss rule of Representative
J. Sloat Fassett of Elmira and Repre-
sentative John W. Dwight Of Ithaca.
The John and 1" telegram. which caused
something Of a stir in Washington, also
figured In Mr. Cassidy's remarks. and
by implication he alleged that the forged
telegram was a fake. It will be remem-
bered that following the senator's vote
against the racing bill he produced tele-
gram from J. Sloat Fassett. in which
John and T'-Johr being Representa-
tive DwiEht-urged him to vote against
the bill. Later Mr.. Fasset charged that
the telegram had been tempered with
and that he had advised Senator Cassidy
to vote for the racing bill.
Arguing that Dwight and Fassett. whom
he characterized as the "ponderous con-
gresham and his distinguished mentor"
had taken advantage of Ills vote against
the racing bills. which was based on an
honest belief that the law was bad as a
pretext for turning him out of Office
under the guise of supporting the gov
ernor. the senator read number Of let
ters and kilograms from Representative
Fassett. in which Mr.. Dwight was fire.
quently quoted as approving asking him
to vote against several OF the most i'm
portant measures advocated by Gov.
Hughes.
He read a letter from Mr.. Fassett ask
ing him to vote against the removal of
Otto Kelsey, superintendent of insurance,
and another letter asking that a resolu-
ton demanding an investigation of the
Metropolitan merger of New York city be
smOthered.
He described a conversation with Rep
resentative Fassett In New York. in
which the representative was represented
as approving racing bills, approving Cas-
sddy's vote and promising to renominate
him for senator.

The fire was discovered at o'clock in
the morning of October IS, when the
vessel was $50 miles south of Sandy
Hook
The passengers were at once awakened
and the small boats were brought out,
provisioned and made ready to lower
away in case it should become necessary
to abandon the steamer.
At O'Clock in the morning of the 18th
the steamer Philadelphia of the Red d
line was sighted and the plight of the
Luckenbach was signaled to her The
Philadelphia answered, II am coming
alongside" She drew near and acted as
convoy until the Luckenbach reached
here. Both vessels came into port to-
gether. The heat and smoke from the
nre forced the passengers to withdraw
from their cabins, and temporary cots
and eating tables were placed on the
promenade deck for them.

Inc cause OF the IRE Is not known. 1t
was impossible to gain access to the hold
The officers did not dare to open the
matches to combat the fire in the fear
that the draft thus created would fan
the flames. Holes were bored into the
deck and all the steam it was possible to
spare from the engines was forced
through them into the hold. Water also
was pumped below.
Several members of the crew were over
come by the fumes during the work of
putting these fire extinguishing plans into
operation, but they were promptly re-
vived.
The passengers behaved we'll and they
have adopted a set of resolutions con-
graduating Capt. Mclean and his brave
crew upon their conduct.

NOT PUBLIC CoNVEYANCES.
Hotel Taxicabs Cant Pick Up Pas
sengers, Court Rules.

Struggle for public customer Jehus
with horse and cab against taxicabs-
resulted, this morning, in the trial of
Robert l.. Reid. a taxicab driver, before
Judge Kimball in Police Court on the
charge of lettering along the public high
ways. On verdict of guilty Reid was
fined SO.
The trial was test case as to whether
taxicabs under contract to hotels for
carrying hotel guests could pick up pro-
miscuously any one who called upon
them for trip.
The court ruled that taxicab chauffeurs
violated the law by so doing. and that,
in future, in order TO obey the hack
ordinances, a taxicab stationed without
hotel must be there in private ca
pacity and as the leased property of the
hotel company. That this be done prop
erly, the court announced, there must be
no display Of public vehicle license
upon the cab so stationed.

Maj. Morrow Speaks Again as
to School Situation.
MENTIONS CAPT. OYSTER
Insists Board of Education Sought
Right of Supervision.
TRANSFER OF AUTHORITY
Remarks That If Engineer Depart
ment Is Further Criticised Re-
taliation May Be Expected.

Notwithstanding Capt. Oyster, presi-
dent of the board Of education, denies
the assertion by Commissioner Morrow
yesterday that the board has been plan
ming to have the supervision Of the con-
struction of school buildings transferred
from the Commissioners to the board. En-
gineer Commissioner Morrow says he has
records to support his declaration.
For several years Capt. Oyster and
his colleagues on the school board have
had this transfer Of authority uppermost
In their minds" Maj. Morrow said to-
day. In the printed estimates of the
Commissioners for the present fiscal year,
submitted to Congress last december, the
school architect, to be appointed and gov
propriated for the employment of a
school architect to be appointed and gov
erned by the board Of education. It was
to have been the duty Of this architect
TO make plans and specifications for all
school buildings in the District and for
repairing Of the same, which work was
TO have been approved by the board over
which Capt. Oyster presides.
Quotes From Estimates.
I'm these same estimates the board of
education recommended That the work
repair work be transferred to the board
of education, as is the case in other
large cities, in order that it may have
Its buildings properly planned for school
uses and promptly constructed under its
own direction, and that necessary re-
pairs may be made thereby keeping the
buildings in proper condition. The delays
In such matters have been a serious check
to the efficiency Of school work In Wash
ington.'
Copies of the proceedings before the
appropriation committees of the Senate
and House last year will show where
Capt. Oyster and other members of the
school board advocated this transfer of
authority
Maj Morrow further said: "If Capt.
Oyster insists on criticising publicly the
engineer department I will commence
publishing facts about the school work
that will not be pleasant for Capt. Oys-
ter to read"
No Reply by Capt. Oyster.
Capt. Oyster said today that he had
no reply to make at this time to the
statement by Engineer Commissioner
Morrow published yesterday.
