CHARGES
HEARD BY BOARD

Police Capt. Henry Schneider, Of the
Seventh precinct, was given a hearing
before the police trial board today on
q charge of releasing Leroy Fleet, COL
ored. after he had been arrested by Po-
licemen Speers and Brashears on a
charge of being drunk. -a-- = %
The complainant against Captain
Schneider was the Rev. H. Baremore
Angus. pastor of the Peck Memorial
Chapel. who acted as prosecutor and
examined and cross-eXamined the wit
nesses. Several witnesses testified that
in their opinion Fleet was drunk, basing
their belief on the fact that he was
staggering. Mr.. Angus said that he did
not see Fleet before he was arrested,
but rather based his complaint on in
formation furnished by others.
Fleet was absolutely sober and de-
clared that he believed that he had au-
thority to release him, He said that
he had been on the police force for
twenty years and had always under
stood that the officer in charge of a
station had the right to use his dis
cretion in such cases. He said he had
Fleet walk across the room and that
he also smeHed his breath In order
to determine whether he was drunk.
He said the police manual gave him
authority TO release Fleet, and that
the manual was practically law.
Policeman Speers and Brasheers in
sisted that Fleet was drunk. but Can
tain Schneider, Policemen McDermott
and Turner. who were stationed at
Seventh precinct station the night of
the arrest and a police reporter tes-
titled that the prisoner was sober. At
tention was also called to the fact that
Judge Pugh had dismissed the charge
Of drunkenness against Fleet when he
was tried recently.
The trial board took the case under
consideration.

Market Company Head
Denies Debt to District

President z. o. Whitford, OF the
Warrington Market Company. naId to-
day that the back rental claimed as Il
debt to the Government by Congress-
man johnson is not due the District.
Thi. matter, Mr.. WhItford says, was
settled by a decision OF the District
Supreme Court April o. 1883, when this
court affirmed the lower court and held
that the company did not owe for back
rental.
Mr. Whitford snys that Congress has
the right 10 condemn tho property and
take It over under the terms OF tho
original grant provided a "fair and Just
vaiuatinnn," is made by appraisers, He
himaeif rates the property as worth
from three fourths to one million dol
lars,
"T'hia hack rent is not due, az Con-
g.Fessnan johnson says" Mr., Whit
ford declared, THAT is all settled by
the court decision and there is nothing
To- that contention"

TO co INTO CAMP
District National Guard Will Leave Next Monday for Camp Ord
way, at Bolivar Heights Near Harpers Ferry-SodIers to
Mix Work and Pleasure in Ten-Day Stay.

Thirteen hundred members of the Dis
triCt National Guard will leave next
Monday morning for Camp Ordway, at
Bolivar Heights, near Harper's Ferry
". Va. There, for ten days, officers
and enlisted men will go through a sys-
tom Of instruction and drilling which
will fit them better for actual warfare.
Then. too. there Will be plenty Of sport
FOR the guardsmen.
Lieutenant Colonel Parmerter, adju-
:snt general, believes that all work and
no play isn't any better for national
CGSrdsmen than for anyone else. Con-
will have the entire afternoons for base
ball games and other sports.
This years encampment will have a
rystem of work different from other
years. Instead of having the officers
camp of instruction seperate institu-
ton, II will be run on the basis of prac-
teal and theoretical work. For the
first four days of the camp the officers
will work out war problems in theoreti-
cal fashion.
To Try Theories.
They will take tactical walks and de-
eide what they would do with a group
OF soldiers at certain points and under
certain conditions. Then they will have
an opportunity for the remainder of the
time to put theories into actual practice,
using the members of the guard for
their purposes.
Toward the end Of the encampment
the guardsmen will divide into a Red
and Blue army for war maneuvers.

Text of Provision
To Collect Back Rent

The provision of the Johnson bill
to collect the back rent which Mr..
Johnson alleges is due by the market
company, reads as follows:
The said commission shall ascertain
whether or not the said market COM
pany has fully paid the annual rental
which is fixed to be paid In Section a,
of the act approved May 20. 1870 and If
the said commission finds that any part
of said rental has not been paid in ac-
cordance with the terms Of said act,
then the commission in determining the
amount to be paid to the Washington
Market Company on account of the
value of the building and improvements
upon said premises which were erected
at the expense of the said company,
shall also deduct the total amount of
the unpaid rent from the amount d.
rected to be paid to the market COM
pany."
While the bill provides that the Dis
tritc government shall pay one-half of
the purchase price to the market COM
pany, 1t Is further provided that the
property shall go to the United States.
The final section of the bill reads:
The President shall cause proceed
ings to be instituted in order to secure
possession by the United States of the
premises described in the act of May %.
1870.
When such premises shall have
again been put in the possession of
the United States the Secretary of
the Interior shall have the manage
ment and control of the same; and he
shall rent the stalls and other por-
tions of said premises as he may
deem best for the interest of the
United States. No lease of any part
of said premises shall be made for a
longer time than one year"
The Washington times., 1913-07-29

They will go through the movements
that might be involved in actual war
fare, and there will be a referee to de-
eide which army is victorious.
Sunday. August 10, will be visitors
day. Then Washington friends and rel
atives of the guardsmen will be well
coined to the camp to see how civilians,
temporarily transformed into soldiers,
live on battlefield.
For many of the 1900 guardsmen the
encampment will mean the only vaca-
ton they have. Consequently the Of
ficers in command have decided that
they should not be forced into heavy
work which would last throughout the
day Yet the significance of the national
guard and the encampment will be
every guardsman.
He will have to undergo the strict
discipline OF military regulations while
on duty. He will have to do police
work, and this is work 1t means that
he will have TO keep the camp clean,
so that there can be no danger from
unsanItary surroundings. Likewise, he
will have to go through a series of
prescribed drills in addition to the
mimic warfare.
To Get Blanket.
The rockies" or recruits. will have
to undergo the usual initiation into
camp life on the first night or two. OF
course, that isn't on the official pro-
gram, but officers are inclined to wink
at this little diversion of the men so
long as II is carried on In proper fash
ion and does not involve any serious
hazing.

DELAY IN CURRENCY
WOULD PUSH TARIFF

Suggestions that II there could be
assurances the currency bill would
not be pressed. the tariff debate
might be hurried to a conclusion were
heard on the floor of the Senate to-
day. -.>s
These suggestions were stirred up
and long debate caused by a tele-
gram to Senator Brandegee from for
ner Congressman E ]. Hill, of Con-
nccticut, asking when the wool sched-
ule was to go into effect and repre-
senting that the important question
now was when the law as to wool and
woolens would become operative
Senator Brandegee suggested .adop-
ton of a joint resolution which would
specify the time. r..
Senator Brandesee thought IL assur-
ances could be given that currency
would not be taken up after the tariff
bill was passed, that might hasten
progress on the tariff bill.
ate could perhaps make more
progress" IL there were some assur-
ances currency was not to be dis
Senator Pomerens criticised the
policy of adding to the uncertainty
of the country by delaying the tariff
bill in order to head of currency
legislation.
CONSIDER 1t Senous.
Senator Gallfnger declarer the Repub-
Hcans looked on the pending tariff bill
as serious, and said il would not be
passed without full debate
Aparty discussion followed, in which
Senator Kern spoke of the assaults Of
the Progressive party on the Payne bill
and took issue with the statement the
country did not vote for tariff revision.
Senator Bristow declared ne was not
Influenced on the tarfff one way or an
other by what was to be done after
the bill passed
In the course Of his remarks, he made
sharp assault on the secret caucus
methods Of the Democrats when Sen
etor Kern sought to question him about
whether he had attended Republican
conferences.
Personally, I would not attend any
caucus of any party If that caucus was
TO shape legislation in secret" said SEN
6tor Bristow. 81 think that bill that
IS shaped in secret caucus should be
fully discussed in the light of day on
this floor"
Democrats Silent.
The Democrats sat silent under the
structures on the secret caucus. Senator
Simmons said he would have a confer
ence with Leader Underwood in the
course Of the day about the time for
putting the wool schedule in effect
Senator Simmons said bot hsides OF
the chamber were spending needless
time in discussing irrelevant matters
Senator Borah said he wodlu not be in
fiUenced by whether currency legisla-
ton was to be considered.
Senator Gallinger. saying that no
agreement to a vote could be reached
now, said that II II were certain there
were TO be no currency legislation, the
Senate could sit for longer hours and
hurry the tariff bill along
II think that after a little while" said
he, we will come TO the conclusion, as
I have heard some Democratic Senators
express themselves, that there is to be
no currency legislation this session and
then an agreement to vote on the tar
IN bill can be reached"
Senator Sterling spoke against the
pending bin in the course Of the after
noon.

The reason for the sudden adjourn
ment of the meeting of the Senate Dis
trict Committee last Friday leaked out
TODAY.

For that reason the committee was
suddenly adjourned in the hope that the

vote adverse 10 Mr.. Lord.
Friends of Mr.. Lord today said they
had little hope Of his confirmation,
