SEES BLOODHOUNDS
CHASING CONV|CTS
Injunction Sougth Against
Freedom Granted At
Occoquan.

Deplering the spectacle of blood
hounds pursuing negro convicts escap-
ing from the Occoquan workhouse, al
most within eight of the Nations Cap
ital, Paul Kester, of Lorton, Va, to-
day filed in the District Supreme Court
an affidavit, supporting the suit OF
Howe Totten against the District, In
which an injunction Is sought against
alleged freedom given the conyicts.
1T is a shocking spectacle for blood
hounds to pursue negroes through Fair
fax county, a sight which can only
be demoralizing." says Mr.. Kester in
his, affidavit. +.'-
The affidavit also declares that the
prisoners are given great liberty and
frequently escape. terrorizing residents
OF Fairfax county.
Numbers OF convicts may be seen,
apparently as much at liberty as my
self" Mr.. eKster asserts. He states
there are no guards in sight among the
convicts at Lorton station, and suggests
having prisoners, transported by water
instead OF on trains.
Mr.. Totten has also filed an affidavit
-upporting his suit against the District,
reciting a petition to the circuit court
of Fairfax county for appointment OF
police to guard citizens against the
District prisoners

Wall Street Preparing the Way for the Decisions
STOCKS WERE VERY SLOW, FIRM,
WITH FEW CHANGES OF IMPORT.
GOSSIP OF THE DAY. ..

aftermath IL the decision lis homeo-
pathic. In the meantime it is but nat
ural that the market should stay dull
steady to easier. -.
Union Pacific. Steel, and Reading,
that is as regards activity, and they
all showed a slight depreciation In
values but no serious weakness. St.
Paul and Southern Pacific both attract
ed some attention. Erie stocks showed
about the best strength of the session,
advancing q to a point The tip was
out to buy them, and evidently some
one was acting on it. Canadian Pacific
showed Weakness entirely al variance
with its recent action, and yet, readily
understandable, when the recent big
advance and tthe desire to gather In fat
profits are considered.
The Oklahoma decision Is about the
first piece of good news that has come
to the railroads of the country FOR many
days. The court held that the state
could not make too low rates, Indicating
that there was limit at which the
Legislature of that State would have
TO stop. The United States circuit court
denied the right of the Oklahoma Rail-
road Commission to make a 2-cent
mile passenger rate.
The market IL also in the shadow or
the extra session, with the first Demo
cratic House and close Senate in many
years. II is therefore meet that II move
with slow dignity; and natural also that
some holders of securities who will be
found so indisposed TO occupy the
anxious seat over the period of waiting,
that they will make slight concessions
in order to reduce or part with holdings
entirely.
In the two hours of the afternoon up
TO o'clock the market remained very
dull, but showed little better strength,
leaders
being turned into fractional gains OF
about equal Importance.
The market at the same time was
extremely slow.

The neutrality-suspicious. Bauern-

varisn peasant players that has been
honored repeatedly by being requested
to appear before the Emperor and
Empress of Germany and other
crowned heads, and these peasant
artists in their native mountain vii
lage of Berchtes GARDENER enjoy q
popularity no less pronounced than
do the Passion Players of Oberam-
mergau. This is their first American
tour and in all the large cities where
they have appeared they have been
most enthusiastically received. New
York listened with rapture to their
unique portrayals of Bavarian
peasant life for over eight weeks,
Chicago hesitated to give them up
after an equally long run and now
st. Paul and Minneapolis theatre
goers are paying their unstinted
praise. r4
OF the engagement in Milwaukee the
Sentinel of that city says:
s'This extraordinary company
brings to the Pabst theatre, as con-
crete whole, a provincial village, in
Guiding a peasant orchestra Of no
mean ability and singers. dancers
and jodelers of the highest quality.
The troupe includes several high
class actors and actresses that would
be at home and win appreciation
upon any stage. The chief merit OF
the performances is the lucid and
realistic portrayal Of peasant types
and episodes of everyday life illumi'
mated by the touch of the master who
understands the dramatic possibilities

Citizens and Numerous Out.
siders.

The many friends and the business
associates of the late Otto Schell as
we'll as the citizens of New Ulm joined
with the family in paying a last
tribute to his memory at Turner Hall
Wednesday afternoon.
The spacious hall was apparently
too small to hold the vast multitude
from this city and neighboring towns.
Prior to the public ceremonials there
were private services held at the
Schell home on Point Lookout which
were attended by members OF the
family.
At the hall Capt. Alb. Steinhauser
delivered an appropriate address
pointing out the many noble features
of the deceased, describing him as
useful citizen, loyal friend and neigh
Dor, true husband and kind father.
The second Reg't. band furnished in
strumental, the Maennerchor and
Alwin's Quartet the vocal music.
There were many beautiful floral
offerings. The funeral cortege came
down South Second, North on Mime
sofa, to State St. on Fourth North
and from there to the city cemetery.
