OPIUM CASES SETTLED.
Six Accused Cinnamon Allowed to
Forfeit Collateral.

The cases against six Cinnamon
charged with opium selling and who were
the subjects of the attention last summer
of the police of the sixth precinct were
settled in the Police Court this morning
by the forfeiture on the part Of each
Of the defendants of $25 collateral. At
the same time a seventh case was nolle
pressed because Of the insufficiency of the
evidence for the government.
The settlement of the cases was the re-
suit of recent conferences between the
attorneys for the Cinnamon and the as
sistant corporation counsel attached tc
the Police Court. Certain of the allega-
tions containet- in the charges were ad
mitted by the defense. and. in view of
this fact. it was agreed to permit the SIS
forfeiture in each case.
The Cinnamon were arrested last Au-
gust by Detective Armstrong of the sixth
precinct at their places of business along
lower Pennsylvania avenue, each arrest
being based upon information furnished
by stool pigeons or actual sales coming
under the notice of the authorities. At
the time of their arrangements the China
men entered pleas of not guilty and de-
manded trials by jury. Up until today
the accused men were under nominal bond
ranging from 500 to $3.50. Their names
are Lee Mong. Moy Yue, Lee Yue, Lee
Quong. Moy Sing and Lee Sing. The
case against Lee Sung was nolle pressed

The decision was reached by vote that
the league will take part in the inaugural
ceremonies and parade, and a committee
of five was named to make the necessary
arrangements.
Henry M. Camp, president of the organ
lzatiOn, announced that more than H. 900

ness session a smoker was held, at which
incidents of the recent political campaign

TELLS HOW LABOR VOTED
UNION MEN SPLIT BETWEEN
PARTIES, SAYS MR.. ASHTON.
Former Printing Office Superintend-
ent, Home From Campaign, Re-
lates Experiences.

Harry F. Ashton. formerly superintend-
ent of supplies. government printing Of
flee has returned to. this city from Chi
cago, where he took an active part in the
recent political campaign in behalf Of
Taft and Sherman. He has received con-
gratulatory letters from prominent repub-
the labor vote in Illinois and other states
in support Of Mr.. Taft.
Speaking of the result and his expe-
rience in the fight Mr.. Ashton said today
in an interview that from the day Judge
Taft was nominated he became the adj
vance agent Of prosperity. and the result
is shown by the handsome vote he re-
ceived in every town and village where
he spoke. The result also shows that
there were no doubtful states, as far as
the national ticket was concerned.
Frank H. Hitchcock proves himself to
be a wideawake. enterprising and con-
sentative chairman, and Is entitled to all
ican party" said Mr.. Ashton. Il believe
Mr.. Taft is the best qualified and best
prepared man today to take up the reins
Of government. He has won by merit the
right to carry on the tasks to be turned
over to him by the present strenuous
during the campaign as a statesman of
unusual worth, not only in point Of intel
lect and experience. but he proved him
self to be the kind Of man the Americans
like. and will no doubt become one of the
greatest Presidents this country has ever
seen.
THE labor vote in Chicago has clearly
demonstrated to my mind that the vote of
the American Federation of Labor has
been equally divided between the two
great parties, but that Mr.. Taft received
no per cent of the labor vote not allied
with the federation. Take for instance
the Associated Building Trades of Chi
cago. which has a membership Of 1000.
Less than per cent of the members are
out of employment. Mostly men who
have been disabled in some way. or who
are not physically capable of working
steadily. Ninety per cent Of the members
voted for Taft. Why? Because there
are enough Office buildings, hotels and
large manufacturing plants to be erected
In Chicago to keep almost everybody en-
ployed for the next four years. I predict
that inside of ten years Chicago will be
the financial center OF the United States.
Many Of the business men in Chicago"
Mr.. Ashton concluded" have become con-
WINGED that Mr.. Taft will be President for
eight years, and we will have one round
of glorious prosperity, and there will be
work for everybody who wants to work
in this great country Of ours

son of provision of the bylaws which
renders director who has served two
successive terms ineligible. Mr.. Small
stands as the logical candidate for the

been suggested for the two vice presiden-
cieS.
Mr. Small some time ago suffered from
a nervous breakdown and was obliged to
give up his work and go to health re-
sort to recuperate For time there was
some apprehension felt about his cOndi-
ton, but recent letters from him at Cliff
ton Springs, n. ". where he has been
sojourning. indicate that his health Is
much improved and he is gaining ground
daily. He has been anxious to return
to the city and again take up his work.
but has finally yielded to the solicitations
Of his family and his friends and will re-
main where he is until he is fully himself
again and the danger of relapse is
past

FAILS TO RECOVER INSURANCE.
Court of Appeals Upholds Lower
Court in Rodier Case.

Justice Robb of the Court of Appeals
yesterday upheld the lower court in deny
ing to Mary c. Rodier, administrative for
jeremiah X. Dee, deceased, the right to
recover on policy for $1,000 in the Life
Insurance Company of Virginia made pay
able to the decedents mother, Mary X.
Dee, since dead.
1t was held that as the plaintiff intro
duced in evidence the application making
Mary X. Dee the beneficiary the policy
was payable to her, and the administra-
trix could recover only where the appl-
cant for the insurance would himself have
had cause for action, which would not
be true in this case, for by his death the
policy became payable to and recoverable
by Mary X. Dee.
The finding of the lower court for the
defendant insurance company was there
fore affirmed, with costs.

RESPOND TO ALARMS.
Firemen Called to Fight Flames Be-
yond Good Hope and Elsewhere.

A disastrous fire occurred last evening
on the farm of Frederick Young. Suitland
and Bowen roads, short distance be-
yond Good Hope. A barn was completely
destroyed and three horses and a mule
cremated. A quantity of hay, harness
and farming implements were wiped out
of existence.
The blaze was discovered about 9:45
o'clock. No. ) chemical company re-
sp0nded to local alarm, but by the
time it reached the farm the building
was doomed.
Nothing was found about the barn to
indicate the origin OF the blaze. The
bright light of fire attracted a number
of persons from Anacostia and vicinity
Mr.. Young estimates the damage at about
$1,000.
Last evening shortly before o'clock
an alarm of fire was turned in from box
81 for fire in the chimney at the house of
George Dawson. oS Pierce street. No
material damage resulted.
South Washington policemen and fire.
men were called out last evening by
the sounding of an alarm from box 453
There was no fire, however. The police
did not apprehend the violator of law.

clair, special assistant to the corporation

been approved by the Engineer Commits
sioner.

made by the grade damage claims COM
mission in these cases was $3.50. The
compromise made by Mr.. Sinclair thus
saves the District government 81 go
The claims for damages for changes in
grade in connection with the elimination
of grade crossings are presented to 4 COM
mission appointed under an act Of Con-
gress approved April %, 1904. The cases
are argued before this commission on the
part of the claimants and by the repre-
sentatives of the District. The commits
sion then makes it's award, which is SUBJ
ject to approval by the Supreme Court OF
the District. The right of appeal to
jury of seven men, to be appointed by the
court, is given to the property owners and
the Commissioners. These appeals delay
a settlement of the matter and also in
crease the cost of the proceedings, and it
has frequently happened that the owners
were willing to compromise rather than
to incur this delay.
