CHARGES AGAINST +:
OFFICER UNFOUNDED.
Police Investigating Story of Emma
Coles, who Claims She was Grim
inaliy Assaulted.

Chief Goods and the police depart
ment have been at work for the pest
two days on the charges presented
against an officer OF the police force by
Emma Coles, we'll known character
OF Alexandria. This morning it was
proved concusively that the charges,
so far as the officer was concerned, we're
entirely. .unfounded, but that some boys
had impcrsonated a policeman and are
suspected OF being guilty OF the crime
against the woman, if shown by the
evidence any crime was committed.
According to the story of the woman,
who bears an unenviable record,i in the
police court, and who brought similar
charge against an innocent young col.
ored man last summer, the assault took
place on last Tuesday night. She
states she was in her home on the cor.
ner Of Washington and Franklin streets
between nine and ten o'clock, when
there was 4 knock on the door and a
man dressed in police uniform en-.
tered the room. He told her that his
name was Scott and that he came to
carry her to the police station. He
took her out of the house and thence
to the corner OF Royal and Franklin
streets where the alleged assault took
place.
Upon the report reaching Chief Goods
he Immediately commenced investiga-
;ion. The only Scott on the force is
William II. Scott, who was recently
elected. Mr.. Scott is young man OF
the highest moral character and had
the very highest recommendations when
the com missioners chose him for the
position. He readily proved 4 COM
pletc alibi, as on the night in question
he was due to go on duty at eleven
o'clock and vas asleep in his home for
A number OF hours previous to this
timc sud was awakened at ten O'Clock.
The Police continued their invcsIi-
gallon yesterday when they found ar
old bIne coat which hai been discarded
by Il nlotorman Of the Mount, Vernon
Railway to which was attached piece
Of tin in tue shape OF q policeman's s
badge. Upon tracing the coat they
found that it had been used by num-
Der OF boys who are suspected Of hav-
ing impersonated an officer on the
night in which the supposed crime was
committed. The police have the names
of five hoys who we're implicated in the
act, their ages ranging from - to l9
years. Two OF the boys skipped out OF
town yesterday aid have not been ap-
pretended. There we're 10 arrests
made in the case up to noon today but
it ia expected that several will occur
before night.

of murder charge growing out OF the
demolition OF the Los Angeles Times

Judge Walter Bordwell's ruling that
both sides are within their legal rights
in determining the attitude OF venire-

WAR AGAINST THE
MANCHU DYNASTY.
Cities Captured By Chinese Rebels
Attack on Hankow Immi-
nent.

Pekin, Oct. 12.--There are ominou:
signs here that the revolution MY sooI
spread to the capital. There is gen.
eral spirit of unrest throughout the
city and the government is taking the
most elaborate military precautions
against an outbreak. The palaces and
government buildings are guarded by
regiments of proved loyalty and the
imperial councils is in continuous ses.
sion.
With three great cities and one Of the
richest provinces OF the country in the
hands Sf the rebels the revolution is
spreading with extraordinary rapidity.
Three regiments OF the army are known
to have taken part in the revolt at
Wuchang and it is feared that others
will follow their example. Reports re-.
ceiyed here indicate that all the central
provinces are seething with unrest and
| foreign consuls everywhere along the
valley of the Yangate Kiang are tele-
graphing for protection. Thus far
there have been none OF the usual anti.
foreign outbursts which usually accom-
pany Chinese uprisings, but there is no
foreseeing when the leaders Of the re-
Volt will lose control over their fol-
lowers and the traditional hatred OF the
white races take violent form.
Pekin, Oct. u. Almost the entire
province OF Nu-Peh is in the hands OF
the rebels who have issued proclama.
ton OF their intention to overthrow the
Manchu dynasty. Following the cap
ture of the capital, WI Chang, yester-
day, the rebel forces marched on the
important city OF Sang Yang which was
captured as we'll as several towns of less
importance.
An attack on Hankow is said to be
imminent. A general who fled here
from WI Chang says that almost the
entire provincial army has joined the
rebels and that the uprising is the most
serious since the TAPPING rebellion.
The rebel leaders have refused to al
low the foreign missionaries TO leave
WI Chang but have given assurances
that their lives and property will be re.
spected Gunboats are being rushed
here by Germany, England and Japan,
but the rebellion has thus far been
unique in that there has been no dem
onstration against foreigners.
Pekin, Oct. 12.-Since noon yester-
day, the revolutionists have gained
complete control OF the city OF Han
Yang and OF the native quarter OF
Hankow. The revolutionary party is
gaining recruits hourly. 1t is issuing
paper currency, the native banks re-.
fuse to honor government notes and
there is run on foreign banks.
Death has been threatened to any
one interfering with the foreigners, but,
as a matter of precaution, all white
women and children, have been trans
ferred to the gunboats in the river
which include the American ships
Helena and Villalobos.
The Chinese cruisers in the river and
four battalions Of troops have remained
loyal. The remainder Of the provin-
cial army has deserted the rebels. The
government is dispatching troops from
Shanghai but the rebel leaders assert
that they have the sympathy OF the
entire imperial army.
