The powers that have decreed that there shall be no more dancing in any of the association buildings.
 During one of the sermons Sunday afternoon 1t was a contest for the atten- tion of the people between the preacher and photograph Ill a nearby cottage.
 The presiding elder thinks the woman who drove eighteen miles to attend ser vice Tuesday has no one to blame. Pro- bably he is right although the pro- grammes announced meetings for every day from Aug. B to Aug 30, inclusive. On the day in question, careful reading of the programme shows that only an evening service was announced. It is inferred from his communication that others had the same idea as the lady in question.

ABARENDA A HELL SHIP -

Army and Navy Journal-From all
accounts the U. S. collier Abarenda,
with a complement of merchant Off
GERS and crew, was a perfect Hell
Ship and frightful tales of the bru-
tality of officers to the crew are told.
The Federal grand jury at San Juan
P. r., on March 30 returned an indict-
ment against George WorIey, the mas
ter of the Abarenda. charging him
with inhuman reatment of his men
al sea in violation of the Federal
statutes. A warrant for Worley's ar
rest has been issued, but he has left
the vessel and at last accounts could
not be found His home is in Brem-
erton. Washington. The Indictment is
the result of the grand jury's investi-
cation of the murder of Walter
Weichert, chief officer of the collier,
who was killed at San Juan by Car
peuter Alexander Dickson on Febru-
airy 20 last. Dickson was acquitted of
the murder of Weichert. A jury COM
posed of Americans and Porto Ricans
brought in a verdict of seIf-defense.
Members of the crew of the Abarenda
testified at the trial that Weichert mad
treated the prisoner in a brutal man
ner. On the occasion in question,
after some words had been passed be-
tween the men, Dickson swung at
Weichert with an axe and completely
severed his head.

A perusal of the passenger list of any

The presence aboard of persons whose
names are not always given. AS for
example Mrs. So-ond-so and maid.
The Crook is no exception. 1t some-
times occurs that a woman, wishing to
secure passage on transport and yet
not in anyway being connected with
the government service and so not en-
titled to the transportation, will take
a nominal position as maid to some
woman who is.a passenger, nor is the
position necessarily nominal. A man
desiring passage and not being eu-
titled to the privilege, being outside the
government service, can sign articles
in some department of the ships SER
vice. as nominal butcher, baker,
steward, waiter or pantrynafi, This
often explains the presence Of men and

DECISION WITHHELD IN Nc
HUGH AND WiGGLE CASES.

The last OF the police trials grow
ing out OF the so-called Goldberg riot
about a month ago were held before
Police Commissioners Smith, Saturday
morning. The defendants were Pa
trolmen Thomas Reardon and Charles
Wiggle, and the former was complete
ly exonerated by the testimony OF
single witness, Patrolman Alex. Mon
roe, one Of the officers attached to
the recorders court.
Monroe testified that on the day or
the riot. Reardon was helping him
serve summonses against several
Greeks charged with violating the
peddling ordinance. Reardon, 1t APP
peared left his station at Michigan
ave. and Griswold-st. just before the
trouble began TO assist Monroe in this
work and returned just after 1T was
over.
There is no case against Reardon,
announced Commissioners Smith az
this juncture and the trial of the pa
trolman came 10 speedy termina'
ton. The commissioner explained
that Reardon was acting wholly with
In his rights in assisting the court of

a court officer has a perfect right to
call a man from his beat on such a
mission

visement as was that against Patrol
man Peter McHugh, similarly charg-
ed, some time ago. The commission
er's decision in both cases will be
announced in his monthly general or
der, early next week.
The testimony against Wiggle was
not strong. and several witnesses
sworn In his behalf testified that he
kept the crowd back. or ar least as
sisted in keeping 1t back until the pa

ton. On the other hand, two citizens.

Grindley testified THAI they spoke TO
Wiggle to the effect that some action
ought to be taken TO Q,San the disturb
ance and that he neglected 20 do any
thing. Wiggle did MOI recall having
been addressed by the citizens Pa
trolman Clark. of the Broadway squad
whose station is at Woodward and
Michigan, testified that Wiggle report
ed TO him that some trouble was go
ing on and came 10 him for advice
and because, as Wiggle put 1t, Clark
was older lin the business" J. r..
Goldberg could not recall whether he
had seen Wiggle during the trouble.
Attorney Clyde Webster appeared
