TIIE DAILY STANDARD UNION: BROOKLYN. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 19. 1001. HJTERESTING FIGHT DEVELOPS BALTIMORE GETS THE PRIZES.

The Bitter PlgHt Overthe Etnperors Gift Settled at JLaat He Looked Unusually. Prosperous When Found, and Is Held For Trial. 1 -V .4 Presiding Officer Criticised for Employing a Male Parliamentarian to Prompt Her Contest for Office of President General Between Mrs. McLeon of New York, ari Mrs. Fairbanks of Indiana.

Inaugural parade on Prizes decided that the Arions, of Brooklyn, and the German Maenner-chor, of Philadelphia, entitled to an equal number of points of excellence In the contest, and that- the trophy from Germany should be held for a stipulated length, time by each of the two associations. i The Arions were given possession first, but the Philadelphians showed their. Indisposition to accept the prize second'' hand, and the directors to-night decided that after the Arions had surrendered it the trophy shall be deposited in the museum of tbe Maryland Institute, in, Baltimore, tbe nqxt grand test In that city In 1903. 1 The committee decided hereafter to dispense with the presentation of costly prizes to successful contesting societies, and Insteed will award engraved diplomas.4 The expense of preparing these Is to be borne by the bund. has but one formidable opponent Mrs.

Fairbanks, of Indiana Mrs. Washington Roebllng being booked to withdraw, thus throwing her votes to the wife of the senior Senator from the Hoosler State A rumor has been started by the partisans of Mrs. Fairbanks that President McKinley would personally like to see her elected. This Is combated by the 108 delegates from New York with the assertion that the President of the United States holds an office too high and dignified to permit of his electioneering, even at second hand, at a congress composed solely of women. Massachusetts has elghty-flve delegates whose votes will be cast for Mrs.

McLean. New York will go to her solidly. The excitement grows as the hour for the nominations approaches, and small meetings are being held at the various hotels at which the several candidates and their strength are discussed. WASHINGTON', Feb. dissatisfaction has been expressed by delegates to the Congress of the D.

A. R. over the employment by the presiding officer of a parliamentarian to prompt her during the exciting moments of debate. Harry Smith, formerly Journal clerk of the House, of Representatives, said to be an authority on parliamentary procedure, occupies this position, has the distinguished honor of being the only male attached to the. congress.

He Is a target for the animosity of those delegates who are at times overruled by the presiding officer after a quiet tip from his lips. So much grumbling was Indulged In yesterday by the members that It was stated that an objection would be made to his acting In iny official capacity In the future. Present Indications point to Mrs. aid McLean, bf New York, as the next Presiding General of the society. She THE WALOERSEE IT CUXHAVEJN, Feb.

Leland Chubb, the sporting Janitor, or superintendent, as he styles himself, was held to await the action of the Grand Jury to-day by Magistrate Brenner, on a waiver, made by his counsel, James W.

Rldgway. He had been out on ball furnished by a man named Duffy, but when the bondsman came to court to-day and saw that three other fresh complaints had been filed against Chubb, he surrendered the defendant and Chubb was forced to go to the pen. Chubb had charge of a large apartment house In Pineapple street, and collected the rents In consideration for free rent of one of the fiats. Mr. Wyse, the owner, discovered that Chubb had made collections from several tenants and did not turn over the money to him according to agreement.

He also cashed a check sent to him by Mr. Wyse to pay the engineer and assistant, but instead of giving them the money he gave them checks which were reluA the bank. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.

One of the results of the complaint made yesterday to Magistrate Brenner by property-owners In Adams street was made manifest to-day, when four Women who had been arrested- by acting detectives of the Adams Street Station last week were sent to Jail after a hearing. Emma Hamilton, of 177 Washington street; Ella Grlffen, of 64 Prospect street, and Maggie Rtelly, of 285 Pearl street, were sentenced to twenty-nine days In Raymond Street Jail on a charge of being disorderly persons, and Catherine Kear-nan, of 260 Pearl street, got ten days for a similar offense. All four women were arrested In Adams street, or In the vicinity which was complained of. They were very outspoken to-day after their sentence, and said that they had been accused wrongfully this time, while admitting that they had been arrested before In Adams street. Capt.

Dunn has frequently sent out men In plain clothes to look out for these disorderly character, and many arrests have been made, but some of the women are able to employ a lawyer and secure their release on legal technicalities, while the Magistrate is morally certain that they are guilty. Magistrate Brenner has on several occasions told the officers making the arrests that women of 111-repute have certain rights and liberties, and that unless some definite charge could be made he was compelled to discharge them, Capt. Dunn, when spoken to to-day about the complaints made yesterday, said that' he had done all In his power to rid the locality of these women, and that his men had made about one hundred arrests since Jan. 1 He had no power to prevent women walking In the street, and arrest could only be fnade when a breach of the peace had been witnessed by the officer making the arrest. 'S Sad Circumstance ponnected With Tammany Mans Arrest in Alleged Gambling House, 1 (-x President Maurice Holahan, of the Board of Publc Improvements, who was arrested In a raid made by District Attorney Philbln onLevlen's alleged pool, room on Dey street, Manhattan, yesterday afternoon, this morning gave out a statement explaining his presence In the Place.

President Holahan Is mudh concerned over the matter, the more especially because he asserts that he was on an errand of goodness at the time. He says ihnt he was searching for his son, Frank M. Holahan, whom he believed to have entered the place kept by Levten and that he simply went there after the young man, who Is about 27 years of age. He went In and was there only a short time, President Holahan declares, when the police appeared and the raid took place. He feels his position keenly, especially as It appeared to place him In a false light.

1 He said that his son- had been long an erring one. 1 1 The byit bargain In the world Is the Sunday Standard Union (12 to 20 pages) Sold everywhere for one cent All the news and many other good things, but not all day needed to read It. either. when the litigation and Greene got full possession of the mine.
