The presumption is that they were In
structed that the defendant would be
guilty under those counts If he did ex-
actly what, and no more than. the
counts charged. and 1t may not be I'M
proper to add that they were. In fact so
instructed.
1.-The question then arises whether the
counts spoken Of as obtaining money or
other property by false pretenses charge
any offense known to the law.
THE governments counsel now admits
that they do not, and in this proposition
the court agrees. Accordingly judgment
will be arrested upon these counts ana
will be rendered only upon the counts
charging embezzlement.
THE general motion in arrest OF Juos-
ment is therefore overruled.
United States Attorney Wilson and AS
sistant United States Attorney Proctor
conducted the prosecution and asked that
sentence be imposed.

MEETS INSTANT DEATH
POWER HOUSE WORKMAN KILL.
ED BY LIVE WIRE.
Dead When Found, His Clothing
Burned and His Head and
Body Blackened.

Joshua F. Meyer, thirty years old, who
resided at 433 o street southwest. was
electrocuted this morning about o'clock
while in the plant of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company on Benning road
near the bridge over the Eastern branch.
His cap was burned from his head. the
upper portion Of his coat destroyed and
his head and the upper part Of his body
burned and blackened.
His coat was ablaze when Raymond J
Ward, foreman of the plant. found his
body lying against one of the big feed
ers which carried q voltage Of 6O,OOO
Body Dragged From Feeder.
The foreman shut off the current as
quickly as possible and. assted by other
employees. dragged the body from the
feeder.
Meyer was employed at the plant as as
sstant engineer and oiler. He kept his
motorcycle in the room in which he was
electrocuted. and 1t is thought he was
there looking after his machine. probably
oiling it, and that he came in contact with
the heavily charged wire.
Life Extinct When Found.
He had been there only a short while
when the foreman found him. but life was
then extinct. DIR. George s. Spicker re-
sponded with the ambulance from the
Casualty Hospital. There was nothing he
could do. The body was taken to the
morgue. Today Coroner hewitt made an
investigation and gave a certificate Of &C.
cidental death.
Meyer. who was unmarried. lived at the
0 street address with his mother Mrs
Meyer was told of his death at an early
hour this morning.

MAN KILLED, INJURED
RESULT OF BANDITS RAID ON
CONSTRUCTION CAMP.
Sheriff Searches Country for. Miles,
But Finds No Trace of
Desperadoes.

CLEVELAND. July 15.-One man is
dead and two others are badly wounded
as the result Of raid by bandits on
a Lake Shore construction camp near
Olmsted Falls late last night. Charles
Brunner. aged thirty, who was shot
through the abdomen, died today. The
injured men are James Counterwane,
shot through the body. and Thomas
Zurach, shot in the head. 1t is be-
lieved that they will recover.
Sheriff Hirstius and posse covered
the country for miles around the scene
of the shooting. but could find no trace
Of the men who shot up the camp.
Demand Their Money.
Shortly. before midnight FIVE negroes
appeared at one of the shanties used as
sleeping quarters, and awakened the
laborers, demanding their pay, which
they received yesterday.
The first man handed over $33, the sole
booty Of the robbers. Three other men
answered they had no money and the
robbers opened fire.
There was a rush from the shacks.
Many of the workmen had revolvers. but
as the bandits ran as soon as they fired
upon their victims, they were out OF sight
before the men in camp had an oppor-
tunity to return the fire.
Exchange Shots With Detective.
Lake Shore detectives believe the five
negroes are the same men with whom De-
tective H. b. Bridenbach had a pistol
fight near Shawville yesterday afternoon.
Bridenbach saw the colored men on a
freight train and ordered them of. The
negroes opened fire on the detective and
many shots were exchanged on the fast
moving train.
The negroes finally jumped Off near
shawville, only six miles from tine con-
struction camp.

RECENT FORT .MYER TRIAL
Alleged Irregularities Following the
Brownsville Matter.
AMMUNITION ON HAN
After Discussing the Evidence the
Reviewing Authority Gives De-
cision Adverse to Accused.

NEW YORK. July 15.-Capt Samuel D
Lyon Of the 25th Infantry. U. S. A.. re-
Gently tried at Fort Myer. Va, for ir
regularities growing out of the Browns
vile, Tex. matter. was found not guilt,
and honorably acquitted by the court.
Gen. Walter Howe. commander of the
Department of the East, however, actint
as reviewing authority, passed upon the
case today and disapproved the finding OF
the court.
The general charge against Capt. Igor
was conduct unbecoming a gentleman ant
Of inquiry and the Senate investigator,
The charge grew out Of statements made
by Capt. Lyon before the Young cour
on inquiry and the Senate Investigating
committee. Capt Lyon was said to have
accounted for only part of the rifle an6
pistol ammunition in his company. L
was with several hundred rounds o.
ammunition not accounted for that the
shooting was done, according to tn.
findings of the Young ourt
The papers In the case embodying the
verdict of the court were submitted to
Gen. Howe several days ago. In passing
upon II today Gen. Howe said:

rounds Tin three original packages), az
reported in his ordnance returns for the
period ending June 30. 1905; but also

from the evidence the only reasonable
and probable explanation of the appareni
surplus was that too many rounds had

Tnis surplus was covered by firing

up at that time 200 rounds OF surplus.
Gen. Howe's Conviction.
The reviewing authority has no
doubt. from the evidence, that the ex-
act condition Of his ammunition was
known to Capt. Lyon. especially after
his inspection following the Brownsville
affair. AS the question of ammunition
entered SO largely in all the subsequent
investigations there Is no reason why
he was unable before the court OF In
quiry to give exact and full informa-
tion thereof. except his desire to cover
up the errors In his returns and GER
tificates.
From the above 1t is evident that the
accused should not have been honorably
acquitted. and the same is disapproved'

.C[UBMAN BECOMES
INSPECTOR Of SALOONS
F. 0den HorStmann Keeping
Tab on Liquor
Dealers.

F. Oden HOrstmann. society man, golfer
and athlete, active and popular wherever
the smart set gathers. started in this
afternoon with the badge Of authority
from the District Commissioners to In
spect the 521 saloons and wholesale liquor
places in the city, to see that no viola
tions OF the excise law are allowed to
escape unnoticed.
Mr.. HorstmanE is a friend Of Represen-
tative Nicholas Longworth and Mrs.
Longworth. He has been identified with
Washington's best society for several
years. But now he's going to put aside
the tea cup for the gum shoe. Predic-
lions Of his friends are that the excise
board will not have long to await start
ling disclosures in the line of excise law
situations.
Had to Go to Work.
Mr.. Horstmann just simply had to go to
work. He wanted something to do. When
he went to the District building he was
armed with a good word from President
Taft and from Gen. Edwards. He had
played golf at the Chevy Chase Club
with both of these gentlemen, and they
gave him a warm recommendation.
Commissioner Johnston took him on as
a street-cleaning inspector. To inspect
white wings at work is no small job. The
inspectors all ride bicycles, as they have
to cover an enormous territory every
day.
Mr.. Horstmann recently had an opera
tion performed which made bicycling
dangerous for him. He could have done
his inspecting In an automobile, but he
figured that a man with a thousand
dollar salary had no right to make him
self conspicuous In a large, painting
touring car or even quiet. little cleo
trio runabout.
So for three days Mr.. Horstmann in
spected afoot.
Then Commissioner Johnston saw
Commi ssioner Rudolph. The upshot
was that Inspector Naylor of the excise
board was transferred, and Mr.. Horst
mann started In this afternoon with a
batch of cards, each card representing
q drinking place
Looking for Wicked Ones.
In his role of upholding the majesty
Of the excise law Mr.. Horstmann will
have to see to 1t that the barkeepers
sell no liquor to men who have too
much He must also see that no women
are allowed in barrooms and that
no liquor is sold to minors.
He must report when saloon is
found to be running a noisy. disorderly
place. He must see to it that they all
close at midnight, do not open earlier
than am. and that the side door
racket is not worked too hard on Sun
days. -.
He must also keep in touch with the
hotels and the hotels" to see that
those places which have two guests on
week days and several hundred Sun
days do not mako themselves too. OBJ

Mr.. Horstmann is better known as a
golfer than as an inspector. He ID known

Scion Of Philadelphia Family.

The social directories list Mr.. Horst
mann as a member OF an old Philadel-
phia family. and place a long disarrange-
nent Of the alphabet after his name. In
dicating that he belongs to half a dozen
clubs in this city and In Philadelphia, and
that he graduated from harvard in 1901.
The excise board is confident that Mr..
Horstmann will make hit. The reports
that have been coming In recently have
all been of the nothing doing type.
On the other hand, unofhciai. reports in
dicate that the saloons are not all do
ing az they should.
In about twenty-four hours the board
Will know whether Mr.. Horstmann has
arrived" or not.
