SHOW PLOT LAID
T0STOCKHOLDERS
Bartlett Makes Charge in
Petition-Horses Will Be
Sold Tomorrow.

The receivership proceedings begun
last week against the Col. Tim Mccoy
Wild West Show represented a planned
attempt by stockholders of the show
corporation to obtain for themselves
the assets of the concern to the detri-
ment OF the employees, it was charged
today in an intervening petition filed
in District Court.
The interviewer, D. T. Bartlett, former
legal adjuster of the show company,
told the court through ATTORNEY Rich
ard A. Hartman he was the holder of
IS, l42.58 of wage claims assigned to
him by 81 Of the shows employees.
206 Horses to Be Sold.
The show was placed in the hands
Of receivers during its last perform
ance here. The little cash on hand was
distributed to employees by the re-
ceivers.
The first step to liquidate the show
Will be taken tomorrow at IL am.
when 206 horses, about 100 of them
OF the saddle variety, are auctioned off
at the Union Stock Yards near the
Benning Bridge
Mr.. Bartlett charged the Providence
(R. - creditor. on whose petition the
receivers were appointed, was not q
common creditor, but stakeholder.
Advanced Funds.
His intervening petition, which was
filed by permission of Justice Peyton
Gordon. stated that other stockholders
had advanced the company funds, tax
ing mortgages and bills of sale to Sc
cure their loans in the hope of gaining
priority over claims of employees.
According to the petition, the re-
ownership action was discussed by the
stockholders, who decided to withhold
legal proceedings until the show ar
rived in a favorable jurisdiction" Mr..
Bartlett said there is no provision Of
priority of wage earners' claims in the
District except in bankruptcy proceed
ings
The court was asked to apply provi-
sions in the bankruptcy law to the
case so as to give priority to wage
earners' claims. or to transfer the case
to q bankruptcy court. All bills of
sale and mortgages which we're ex-
ecuted within four months before be-
ginning of the receivership proceedings
here should be set aside, the court was
told.

Defray Part Of Cost Of
system Extensions


The Washington Gas Light Co.
yesterday asked the Public Utilities
Commission to approve the issue and
sale of 1860 shares of $3.50 pre-
ferred stock. The price at which the
stock would be sold was not stated,
but company officials said it will be
given to the commission for approval
in subsequent amendment to the
present application.
Officials of the firm said the funds
obtained from the sale would be
used to defray part of the cost of
additions and extensions to produce
ton plants, transmission mains and
distribution system during 1898. The
total construction program of the
company for the current year is ap-
proximately $2,0000OO, and includes
two new water gas sets.
The stock proposed to be issued Is
identical as to rights and privileges
with the preferred stock sold to the
public in Washington last June. It
is entitled to dividends of $3.50 per
share, and each share may be con-
verted into three shares of the COM
pany's common stock.
Practically all the 10000 shares
issued last June was purchased by
Washington investors, company off,

tice of one big family, according to
Supt. Moore
And if any one should know about
conditions, it would be Mr.. Moore. He
was born at the almshouse % years
ago. just a year after his father,
Herman E. Moore became superin-
tendent. The elder Mr. Moore died
month ago and the son was put in
his place by the county board.
The young superintendent is mar
ried and has an 18-month-old son.
Inmates at the home are separated
by classification as to color and sex.
White Women-nine of them-live in
white cement block row houses
with two beds in each room. The
white men occupy two room cottages
while two colored women and six
colored men have their separate quar-
tiers.
From ~ to 80 Years.
The ages of the inmates range
from 40 years to 80 years. Maud
Ladon is the youngest, while George
Thomas johnson is the oldest.
In addition to the inmates quar-
tiers. one main building houses the
hospital, Offices and the quarters for
the superintendent and his family.
One of the recommendations of the
grand jury which has not been car
ried out, and cannot be for at least
several years, calls for the develop
ment of shade trees. Only two locust
trees. not the best for the purpose, are
to be found within walking distance
to most of the inmates On hot days
they must seek the interior of their
cottages or the shady side of buildings
to escape the sun.

Woman Prefers
5 Days in Jail
To Fine of SIS

Miss Lillian Clawans of Newark,
N. j.. today chose to go to Jail for
five days rather than pay a IS fine
on disorderly conduct charge which
was placed against her on June 7,
1895.
Judge John P. Mcmahon imposed
the IS fine when Miss Clawans was
convicted shortly after her arrest at
police headquarters nearly three years
ago. She appealed the conviction and
posted 500 bond. The District Court
of Appeals denied her writ of error
on December 16, 1896, and the United
States Supreme Court refused her writ
of certiorari on May 8, 1887.
She appeared before Judge Nc
Mahon in Police Court today and an
nounced she would 60 to Jail rather
than pay the fine. She collected her
500 cash bond and was sent to Jail
Immediately.

This Burglar
Could Qualify
FOrCHcus Job

If the burglar who robbed Marvins
Clothing Store, at 1874 Seventh street
NV, during the night wanted to fol-
low the straight and narrow" he I'M
doubtedly could land a circus job.
This is how he went about making
of with $1,000 worth of clothing:
Entered through a third floor sky
light, pried open q trap door, tore
loose the wire mesh inclosing the ele-
vator, slid down the cable to the first
floor, helped himself to a choice Sc
lection of suits and things. and then
apparently climbed the cable and de-
parted by the same route.
On the floor he left his own cloth
ing, which he obviously decided to dis
card in favor of something new and
natty.

D|SAPPROvE PLAN
OF 13-CENT MILK
Sale, in Paper Cartons, Is
Rejected by FL Vote of
Commissioners.

BY a vote of 2 to l, the District
Commissioners today rejected an ap-
plication by the Sylvan Seal Milk Co.
OF Philadelphia to sell milk in Wash
ington, in paper cartons, at 10 cents a
quart, or l cent cheaper than the
standard price here
The permit was denied on recon-
mendation of Health Officer George c.
Rutland. who voiced fears his inspec-
tors might not be able effectively to
maintain supervision of the plant,
which would be maintained in Balti-
more. The Commissioners did not
finally close the door to the applicant,
however ii
On motion BY Commissioner George
E. Allen, they decided to apply at
once to the Budget Bureau for a de-
ficiency appropriation to permit the
employment of one additional $2,6OO-
a-year milk inspector, who would be
assigned to maintain close supervision
of the Baltimore plant. to meet the
remaining objection of the health
officer.
Voting against the application today
were Commissioners Melvin C. Hazen
and Dan I. Sultan. Commissioner Al
len voted for the permit. arguing that
it was reasonable for the District to
make inspections of plant in Balti-
more in this case, since the District
now receives raw milk from points even
more distant.
The applicant was represented by
r. Fuller of Philadelphia, who
explained that distribution Of milk in
heavily paraffined paper cartons had
been successfully carried on in Phila-
delphia for about 7 years, as we'll as
for an extensive period in numerous
other Eastern cities.
Mr.. Fuller insisted there was no
question of the sanitation of the con-
tanners because they were made Of
virgin spruce fiber and given a parafin
treatment at high temperature.
1t had been announced an attorney
Of the Department of Justice had been
granted the privilege of attending the
as an observer for the United
States Public Health Service. which is
to be interested in the meth
DDS of manufacture of the patented pa
per carton containers, but he did not
appear at the meeting.

Crime Victims
To Get Notice
OF Sentences

From now on crime victims in the
District will be officially notified every
time an offender pleads guilty and is
sentenced. @
United States Attorney David A.
Pine has decided that the natural
curiosity of compliments should be
satisfied without putting them to the
trouble of inquiring.
Accordingly when some culprit
pleads guilty either to a misdemeanor
or q felony (short of murder, of
course), his victim will receive a
courteous letter apprising him or her
Of what sentence was meted out.
Where the offender denies his guilt
and goes to trial no notification OF
the sentence will be given the COM
plainant. since his presence will be
necessary at the TRIAL.

We Give Up

Once again the old-fashjoned game Of Button, button, who's got the button" is being played in our midst. This time it's State Comptroller Charles C. Swartz who has started play. Speaking last week he said that special legislative session would be necessary before any COnnecti- cut community could share in the fed- erai governments glum clearance and Iow-cost housing projects. InaSmuch as several cities, among them Waterbury are dangling bait in front Of Uncle Sam which they hope wiIl be acceptable for their participation. tbe news should be a bit dlSbearteDing.

Politicians Not Ferrets

: Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport IS starting his gubernatorial campaign early. In weekend rallies" he assailed the Democratic party for failure to un- cover such irregularities" as have been alleged by grand juries investigating land sales for the Merritt Parkway and mis- management of city affairs in Waterbury. Mayor McLevy points out that it was two grand iuries and not the Democratic party that brought to light the alleged "disorders" All of which is no more Of an indictment of the Democratic party in Connecticut than the Republican party in the same state or elsewhere.
 Political parties being what they are both in name and in action they custo- marily do not bring forth events which might prove to be detrimental to their future successes. Not that a party delib- erately covers up overt act of it's members. No, but it customarily is presenting it's best face and not its worst. All political parties, local, state, and national, have had their day in court for offenses, real and imaginary. Some of them have had their effect in the spasmodic rise and fall of the party.
 But when Mayor McLevy seeks to &C., cuse the Democratic party of Connecticut of being delinquent in not unearthing the reports that the grand juries have presented us, he steps out of character. Political parties aren't created for that purpose. If they were, why would we have such an institution as the extraordinary grand jury? However, the Socialist mayor of Bridgeport can take the Democratic party, the Republican party or any other party to task for such sins as may be eX- posed by grand juries and be on safe ground.
 That's really what he started out to do in his fling at the Democrats, but he evidently decided that good blast might kill of the Democratic party for this fall and leave his own party in control. He probably figures that it won't be neces- sary to worry about the Republican party n Connecticut this fall, a fact that many political observer has already foreseen.
