Certain and deacons of the First BaDtist Church (colored) corner of Twenty seventh street and Dumbarton avenue northwest through their attor neys Thomas Jones and James Paagett yesterday sent a letter of com plaint to Maj Sylvester superintendent of police in which they accuse Capt Schneider of the Seventh precinct of gross misconduct in performing his du ties as a police captain and of having violated an order of the District Supreme Cojrt The protestants assert that on Sunday night the pastor of church against whom the court had Issued a restraining order to prevent him and his party In the church from Interfering with tho members of the opposing faction in the performance of the duties tried to pre vent the trustees from taking up the collection by declaring that new trustees had been chosen WHO would perform that duty It is charged that when the old trug tees refused to give up the collection plates the new church officers went to the door and called in Capt Schneider who it js said tvas in citizens clothes It is alleged that the captain first had a shprt conversation with the pastor and that he then ordered the old trustees to give way to the new trustees The ac cusation Is further made that Capt Schneider went so far as to throw a dollar in the collection box The restraining torder of the court 3Tt which he will mace to the on of -Congress in regard to the value of

poison squad be fed any of the other foods such as poultry game and eggs which have been in Dr Wiley ice House for the last two years The chief chemist andf his assistants will test the value of these foods In other ways Use Odor as Guide The foods -will be tested by Dr Wiley and his assistants and their odor will also serve aa a guide In determining whether they are wholesome and nu tritlous Dr Wiley said yesterday that, judging by appearances alone foods may be kept in cold storage for long periods without losing anything in nutritive value but between the time they are removed from the ice and the time they are prepared for the table ptomaine or alkaloidal bodies may develop which might make the foods fatal to the human stomach PAEK KOAB'S CHAMPIOH CAT Wins Neighborhood Medal by

enough to emit a boastful bark This was the cat oppor tunlty and she sprang upon the hound side After a brief but bitter combat the hound managed to scramble to his feet and started painfully down the street The cat watched the bulldog for a min ute and then casting a glance of con temptuous pity at the hound her fur and started off at a dignified pace for home against the pasto: nd his faction was
