BATTLE IN COURTS
OYER OCCOQUAN
Corporation Counsel Thomas
= to Conduct Case.

That a legal battle will be the outcome
OF the writ Of habeas corpus issued by
Judge Edmund Waddill, jr.. in Norfolk,
looking to the release Of two prisoners
in the OccoQuan workhouse, was made
apparent yesterday when IT was an
nounced by Corporation Counsel Thomas
that he would personally conduct the
case. Tho case grew out OF the conten-
tion by Attorney Matthew E. O'Brien.
OF this city, that the State Of Virginia
unlawfuliy holds in confinement more
than 300 persons.
Early yesterday Supt. Whitaker OF
Occoquan. came to Washington and called
on Mr., Thomas. Mr.. Thomas said he was
unable to make a definite statement, as
the papers in the case had not arrived.
The Commissioners declined to discuss
the case. but the fact that prisoners will
be sent from the jail to Occoquan, as
usual. is conclusive that little doubt Is
entertained by the officials as to the out
come OF the proceedings.
The questions involved IN the suit, ac-
cording to Mr.. Thomas, were considered
before the workhouse was established
and as to the question Of the authority
for the removal OF prisoners, he called
attention to the District appropriation
act for 1910. which provides for the turn
ing over OF prisoners to the superintend-
ent OF the workhouse when requested to
do 50 by the Commissioners.

FUND AVAILABLE
FOR COLORED HOME
Senator Curtis Wants Aged
and, Infrm Cared For.

Senator Curtis, Of Kansas has made
preparation to take up the fight Of the
colored citizens Of the country for the
erection IN the District of Columbia
Of q home for aged and infirm persons
Of that race A sum Of $4,000 for that
purpose. 1t is proposed. will be ex-
pended from moneys in the Treasury
which is due the estates OF colored
soldiers and sailors Of the civil war
In a bill which Senator Curtis will in
troduce at the next session Of the Sen
ate. It is provided that there shall be
erected a national memorial home for
aged and inf1rm colored people and for
working girls. Under the terms Of the
bill an industrial farm Is to be estab-
lished in Virginia and the proceeds de-
voted to the maintenance Of the home
An association Is to be formed which
shall acquire the land for both the farm
and the national memorial home, and be
duly incorporated under the laws Of the
District Of Columbia
Preliminary to the transfer Of the civil
war moneys Of the colored soldiers to
the association authorized to establish
the home and the farm, the bill orders
that the Attorney General duly investi-
gate and report to the Secretary Of War
that such association Is duly incorpo-
rated for the relief Of the oolored peo-
pie. Plans and specifications must be
transmitted to the Secretary Of War.
Funds for the work are to be taken
from the Treasury only on vouchers
drawn by the association and duly ap-
proved by the Secretary Of War.
The fund from which It is proposed to
build the home for the aged and infirm
colored people Is made UP Of bounties,
prizes, pay, and other moneys which
were due colored soldiers who served in
the war. 1t has been found impossible
to obtain proper proof concerning the
heirs OF these soldiers. and the result
has been that the money has long lain
in the Treasury.
Senator Curtis believes that It is only
proper and fitting that the colored peo-
pie Of the country be given the benefit
of this fund. A home for the members
of their race is recommended by the
colored people themselves as a most
satisfactory way to put the money to
use.

TO TRY CONE BACK

A game that should attract consid-
erable attention is one arranged be-
tween New Castle. representing this
years Semi League, and fremont,
representing last years teams, on
Saturday, September 9.
At first glance New Castle would
seem to have all the advantage, as
they have up-to-the-minute team
work, while Tremont's Is year old
and is greatly scattered.
Practically all the players have
been playing on the many teams of
the city and they say they can come
back on the shortest notice. "Cy''
Prentiss and George Butz are man.
ayers Of the team; Christy having re-
tired from lack of energy on the sub
ject.
The fremont team will consist OF
the following we'll known players
Cy Prentiss. Harry Mccall, William
Sillitoe, William White. Swithin
Chandler, "Chick" King, Bob" King
P. G. Patterson, "Dick" Cam and
Howard Fahey.
The game will be played at New
Castle. thus giving the fans of the
river town a chance to see the "col
lege boys" without leaving their OWL
burg.
