MEET BEFORE JUDGE.
Father and Son Had Not Seen Each
- Other for. Years.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
.....,,.. PARIS, August IA. 1909.
Strange meetings sometimes take place
in an examining magistrates presence
One OF the Paris judges was questioning
young man, aged twenty, accused Of
completely in a murder committed on a
country road, the victim being a poor fel-
low who had been killed for the sake Of
robbing him Of a penny
He had not seen his father since he was
eleven wears old, consequently nine years
ago, and did not know whether he was
dead or alive. At the same time another
magistrate was examining a man, aged
about fifty. who was accused OF burglary.
For some reason or. other it was thought
that there might be a connection between
the two crimes. and the alleged burglar
and murderers accomplice were brought
face to face. They were as much aston
ished as the magistrates to find that they
were father and son.
How did you get here?" asked the
father.
And your retorted the son. who at
first had not been able to recognize his
parent, especially as the latter wore a
false beard and mustache.
This was another revelation to the
judges. The young man said that his
father had never worn beard and could
not grow one. The alleged burglars face
was examined and the beard was found
to be spurious. The meeting between
father and son was not so cordial in con-
sequence as it might have been under
other circumstances.

SEATTLE, Wash. August 2S.-George
c. Eccles, wireless operator on the wreck
ed steamer Ohio. went below with the
pursuer to search for the quarterma
and steerage passengers when the ship
started to sink, after striking the rocks
on the Alaska coast yesterday, accord
morning. He returned to his station
after the search and began sending
message when the vessel made the plunge
that carried 1t to the bottom.
Eccles was seen to leap from the wire

1T is thought that he then rolled into the
water and was carried down by the
whirlpool caused by the rapidly sinking
steamer.
Eccles secured place at Sustna,
Alaska. short time before the Ohio
sailed. and had ha nded in his resignation,
but As the company was short of wire-
less operators he consented to make one
more trip before leaving the service OF
the company.

SHIRT WAIST MAN PROTESTS.
Charged With Disorderly Conduct
for Not Wearing Coat.

Isaac Krikstine, tailor, protested his
innocence last night when taken to the
first precinct police station and charged
with disorderly conduct in a theater. He
was arrested in one of the f1ve-cent the
aters ON Pennsylvania avenue and it was
necessary for him to send for friend
to deposit S25 collateral for him In order
to prevent his being held behind the bars.
When he reached the police station
there was crowd Of curious people fol-
lowing,
II haven't done anything" protested
Krikstine, who showed not the slightest
sign Of excitement. Il was seated In the
theater with my coat off and the watch
man told me to put it on. l told him 1t
was too hot, and he put me out
Friends Of the tailor told him he had
probably Violated the rules of the thea
ter BY being there without his coat on,
but Kirkstine said he could go in al
most any public place with his coat on in
hot weather.
And he added. 81 had my coat off
when I bought the ticket. 1t was off
when I entered the place. and / think
have done nothing wrong.
The question will have to be decided in
the Police Court tomorrow morning.

NATIONS WANT UNIFORM.
Do Not Like to Be Mistaken to
Persons Under Arrest.

1t is the intention of the police matrons
doing. duty at the first precinct station
to ask Maj. Sylvester to designate uni
form for them to wear or to provide
them with badges They say their pres
ence in the patrol wagon often proves
annoying to them, men, women. and
children staring at them and frequently
making remarks. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing for them to hear men or
women ask why they were arrested. they
say, and the wearing Of a badge or uni
form would prevent such annoyances.
It is. said that matrons in many large
cities wear a neat uniform to distinguish
them from women under arrest. The ma
irons at the house of detention do not
have to ride in patrol wagons. ana it is
thought the wearing Of a uniform or
badge would not be necessary so far as
they are concerned. Should Maj. Syl-
vester determine to uniform any Of them,
however. it is thought the rule will ap-
ply to all OF them.

where they cross the harbor for the head
quarters Of the United States Engineer
service is progressing rapidly. and the
site is now occupied by several buildings
that have been moved there from. the

of Potomac Park. a considerable portion
of It is in use. but on the other parts
the underbrush is very heavy. and it is
stated that rabbits are to be found in it

JACK TAR MAKES ARREST.
Charges Man With Disorder in a
Shooting Gallery.

August Kramer, red-haired jack tar
from the navy yard, distinguished him
self last night by placing a civilian
under arrest for alleged disorderly con-
duct and marching him to the first pre-
cinct police station. Policemen on duty
at the station regarded the affair as a
Joke until Policeman Adams found sew
eral witnesses who declared the man
under arrest had been disorderly.
The young man gave a fictitious name
and deposited s. collateral for his ap-
pearance. 1t appears that number of
young men were In a Pennsylvania ave-
nue. shooting gallery and something was
said by the proprietor to the young man.
The latter made a remark which con
veyed the notion to the sailor that he
intended to whip the proprietor of the
place. although his remark was intended
as joke.
1--WE heard enough of this business"
said the man i'm white uniform. You
are under arrest" he added. and TAX
ing the young man by the coat collar
marched him to the police station.
A charge of disorderly conduct was
preferred against the young man, and he
left s. collateral to guarantee his at
tendance in court tomorrow morning.

liceman Belt Of the first precinct surprised

room on the third floor OF building 1OI G
street northwest last night shortly after
II O'Clock. taking the players. four packs
of cards and s1.O5 as evidence. Sidney c.
Janson, native of Denmark. who is janitor
of the building. was arrested as the prin
cipal and charged with permitting gaming
on his premises.
In order to reach the room where the
game was in progress it was necessary
for the police raiding party to pass
through a long hall, those about the ta-
BILE being able to see them as soon as
they made a start in the direction of the
room. When the three members OF the
police force made the start their brass
buttons were seen and the players made
a rush In the direction of the exits one
Of them going to window, but the dis
tance to the ground was too great for
him.
Six guests of the janitor were escorted
to the police station with their host, al
though they Jared much better than
Janson. He was held as principal. while
they were merely summoned to appear
in the Police Court as witnesses. The
police say that most of them had been
caught in other raids. JanSons arrest
was the result Of complaint made to the
police because q man had played poker
in the street building some time ago.
