plans of the CCM nn < l High school buildings ,
which worp submitted by Architects Lnten-
scr and McDtmald , respectively. but failed
to ronch any definite conclusion on either.
As a consequence , therefore , It was de
termined to hold n Bpdclal meeting on
Wednesday cvonlng , at which the High
school building , by resolution , will hold the
right of way.
The Cas-i school building was the first
considered after the board hud r < solved Itself
Into n committee of the whole Architect

structure , but also the specifications. The
latter were amended so as to Include pro
visions declaring that but eight hours dally
of labor should be employed upon It and the
union Bf.ilo of wages should bo paid
On account of the tlmr- that was devoted
to the plans of the C'ass school , Architect
McDonald had but little opportunity to ex
plain the plans of thu High school. As far
us they were submitted they seemed to bo
satisfactory to the boird. Thcsu plans will
bo the special order of business at the meet
ing to be held Wednesday night.

SUSPECTS GET OFF EASY

Judge Gordon.
The assertion of > the police that Jutlgo
Gorilon would release the colored female
thieves whom they arrested vvns borne out
by his action In police court yesterday , t
The women were accused of vagrancy and
eight of them arraigned. Without excep
tion all had been before the judge pre
viously , the majority on charges of larceny
from the person. They entered a pica of
not guilty to the accusation of vagrancy and
the judge released them on their own recog
nizance , pending their trial next Monday.
If other robberies occur during the week
nnd the police suspect these women of being j
Implicated In them they will probably bo
rearrested
It appeared to bo a bad day for the po
lice , ns Laura Coleman was also released
when tried by Judge Gordon. She was
forced to leave the city last fall because
the police suspected that she had been Impli
cated In several larcenies from the person
of frequenters of the bawdy house in which
she was located. She returned to the city
last Wednesday and was arrested on Fri
day. Charges of vagrancy and being a lewd
charactoi wcro slated against her Do-
tectlves Donahue and Heldfelt testified that
she was a suspicious character nnd
a vagi ant * In her own behalf
she said that Bho was living at 411 North
Fourteenth street and had gene down on
Ninth and Capitol avenue to visit some
i friends when she was arrested. The court
I did not think the evidence sufllclent to
j prove her guilty of the offenses with which
she was charged and dismissed her.
Still another case was disposed of by his
honor when ( Jcnevlovo Williams , alias Jua-
nlta Wailc , was dismissed , as the record
shows , "on motion of the count ) attorney"
She was accused of Inving stolen 1180 from
an old nun 73 years of age. The complain
ing witness said ho believed she was the
woman who had robbed him when ho saw
her at the station , but she had changed
dresses and ho could not bo positive An
officer saw the woman .1 few minutes before
the robbery occurred In the vicinity of
Tenth and Ilovvaid streets , vvheio the old
man's pocketbook was taken , Ho Idcntlllod
her positively after her dress was changed
nnd described the dress she had on when
ho saw her flrnt. No testimony was taken ,
the case being disposed of without trial.

of 1'olltlcnt I2coiiini ) .
Yesterday afternoon Ilev. Herring ad-
drcsnod the social science department of
the Woman's club His remarks wore lis
tened to with close attention and when he
had finished ho was tendered a vote of
thanks. In nddre = elng the department the
speaker reviewed the origin of polltlcil
economy , stating that many of Its early
methods and theories have been abindoned
In abandoning these methods ho contended
that there ban been n greit curtailing of
former ideas ; the principal purpose for
which the rich and poor , high and low are
now laboring Is how men ought best to llvo
together.
Ilov. Herring spoke of the social organba-
tlons existing In the great cities , all of
which arc growing rapidly. Social science ,
ho said , Is attracting the attention of bus
iness men and of those In the professions ,
and nil of them nro giving the questions
much thought. People throughout the world
nro thinking of the great questions brought
out The speaker gave It as his opinion
that the government Is no more corrupt
than formerly , but there Is a general awak
ening nil along the line and more free dis
cussion of the great questions of the day.
Everything , ho declared , Is moving tow aid
liberty , equality and fraternity.

ing the following resolution1
That the resolution passed May 11 , 1807 ,
prescribing how ordinances shall bo drafted

and the same nro hereby repealed.
The reading of this resolution brought
forth a protest from Kelly , who offered a
Biibstltuto Instructing the Judiciary com
mittee to draft a new set of rules for the
government of the council and submit the
s line nt the ne\t meeting. Kelly asserted
that the resolution which Johnston desired
to change had been In force for some time
nnd ho was not In favor of has > ty action. Ho
thought the whole question of rules ought
to go to a committee. When the roll was
called on Kelly's amendment It was found
tint only three members , Bennett , Kelly
nnd Wear , supported It , while the other
live members voted In the negitlve. Upon
Johnston's original resolution five voted for
and three against It , so the chairman de
clared It catried. This was the first round
and It resulted In favor of the Johnstonltes.
An ordinance was passed establishing the
grade on U street from Thirty-first to
Thirty-third streets.

ment of a grade wcio received as follows1

Swift's plant and the sanitary Inspector was
directed to look after the matter.
Plumbing Inspector Cook sent in a com
munication regarding the existing plumbing
ordinance and suggested a number of
changes. This was sent to the judlclarj com
mittee. August Papez wrote to the council
that he wanted to withdraw from the bond
of Policeman Hydock , but this paper was
filed , as a withdrawal from bonds Is not
allowable.
The Magic City Electric Light and Power
company sent In Its acceptance of the fran
chise ordinance which was passed by the
old council. A bond signed by Henry W.
Yates and r. A. Nash was also submitted
At the suggestion of Johnston the bond was
referred to the Judiciary committee.
Residents in the eastern part of the city
living In the district between Twentieth
and N streets and Thirteenth nnd P streets
protested against the open sewer east of
Nineteenth and N streets. It was asserted
that this sewer , which empties Into a creek
just east of Twentieth street , Is causing
sickness nhd disease and the council was re
quested to either extend the sewer or stop
the How. This communication was referred
to the streets nnd alleys committee and the
city engineer.
The Cure Water company , of which Pat
rick Martin is agent , filed a claim for $400

street and at his suggestion the streets nnd
allejs committee will ascertain the cost of
fhe repalis.
Tralnor brought up the matter of buying
a road machine nnd wanted the council to
agieo to spend $200 for such a machine.
Johnston opposed the measure , on the
ground that no funds were available at
this time and nothing will bo done about
the proposed purchase until the money la
in sight.
Acting Street Commissioner Hess will bo
required to fllo a dally report of all work
performed on streets and sidewalks. The
blanks for this purpose are to bo supplied
by the city clerk Last year over $8,000 was
spent by the street commissioner and It
was decided that a dally report of opera
tions was the only sure way of Keeping a
check on expenditures , A committee of
three to examine Into the cost of running
each department of the city was appointed
at the suggestion of Johnston. This com
mittee Is composed of Johnston , Kelly and
Wear.
Bills for April were allowed and an
