THE DOOM OF THE CHIMNEY
A Topic That Was Discussed by the Ger
man Study Club Last Evening.

The German study club met last evening at
1910 Rhode Island avenue. Mr.. G. W. Spier
was the reader for the evening and introduced
Julian West to the Boston of the twentieth
century. When asked by DR.. Lutte what point
OF contrast between the new and old city struck
him most forcibly, he replied "To speak Of
small things before great, really think that the
complete absence Of chimneys and their smoke
is the detail that first impressed me-"
In the discussion that followed this point
was elaborated upon. DR.. Bracket remarked
that If the chimneys Of Washington were at
once removed it would doubtless cause great
surprise; but as that process is going on slowly
but none the less surely in several cities of
this country it will probably not be many
years before the transformation will be COM
plete. He mentioned the case Of a medical
friend living in Williamsport. Pa, whose house
IL heated by steam furnished by a COM
pany, where it is necessary only to turn
a thumb screw in order to get any degree Of
heat required and OF a wholly satisfactory
character. Then again OF brother-in-law
living In Warren, Pa, whose house Is heated
by natural gas. In these cases there are no
chimneys and consequently no unsightly and
unhealthy ash and refuse heaps in the back
yard. MIR. Bergman thought that until such
economic features as gas, electricity and other
methods OF heating and illumination are trans
ferred from the hands of a company to munich
pal control the takers would be comparatively
few owing to the high price put upon the
article, the expense OF furnishing being
necessarily much greater in corporate enter
prise than that Of municipal enterprise. The
club Will meet at the same place ON Thursday
evening" January l6.

WAS 1T LARCENY?
The Alleged Navy Yard Theft--Some
Nice Legal Points.

Yesterday afternoon as the employees Of the
navy yard were passing out of the gate to
their homes Sergeant Lewis of the marine
guard stopped and searched one of them and
found monkey wrench in his possession. The
sergeant at once placed him under arrest and
sending for policeman. Officer Fitzgerald re-
sponded and took charge Of the prisoner. He
gave his name as Jas. Maher. age twenty eight
years; occupation. machinist. In the Police
Court today Maher was charged with larceny
from the United States. Sergeant Lewis testi-
fed to the facts and that Maher stated that he
had taken the wrench to use on a bicycle.
Chss. Smithson stated that for three months
tools, both public and private, had been pissed
from the yard; that he watched and saw Maher
place the monkey wrench IN his coat.
SETTING TRAP.
The court said that the man watching did not
protest, as he should have done, but he put the
wrench near to the man to see if he would take
it; in other words set q trap, placing tempta-
ton in his way.
Mr.. Armes asked the witness how that par
ticular wrench came in the shop, and Mr.
Smithson said that it had been issued to Mr.
Peake about three days ago. He saw Maher
put the wrench in his pocket, taking it from
the place (the bench) where witness told MIR.
Peake to lay it.
The court, on inquiry, learned that the
wrench had been placed in two places before,
but IL was not taken. and yesterday it was put
on the bench to see il this man would take it,
He did not stop the man, because his orders re-
quired him TO report to the gate.
The court explained that it necessary to
show that the article Was taken without the
consent OF the owner. What was done may
throw strong suspicion TO antecedent trans
actions, but did not make a case as to the
crime now charged. He referred to a decision
OF Judge Bond In parallel case.
NICE POINTS OF Law.
Prosecuting Attorney Armes asked if it would
be larceny IL the wrench had been placed at
the other end Of the shop, and Judge Miller
said il would, but that the fact of placing the
wrench almost IN the mans pocket and
watching him carrying it away constituted the
fault
A case from the Georgia reports
was cited. which Judge Miller read
and summed up by showing that
In any case where goods should be taken with
the consent of the owner, even when the taker
did not know of this consent, no larceny was
committed. 1t was a hair-line distinction
said Judge Miller. In another part of this same
Georgia case il seemed to point to line tina,
such placing Of an article was not a trap but
purely legitimate. Judge Miller reserved his
decision for q time.

Dayton, Ohio, for SIC, 900. Last Saturday night,
frightfully cold and stormy one, Hooper
boarded a train at Glyndon, Mimi. In travel
ing he is in the habit of entering o car at the
front door, and he accordingly climbed up on
the forward platform Of the car next to the
baggage car. He tried to enter by the front
door, but the conductor, who was on the inside,
after trying to open it, shouted that it was
locked, and then strolled away.
BY this time the train was in motion. Hooper
begged to be let in, but the train men paid no
attention to him. 1t was very cold and the
wind blowing gale. Hooper tried to keep on
his feet by clinging to the door knob, but he
became numbed, and felt that he was in danger
of being thrown off the ICY platform by the
wind and the swaying of the train. No longer
able to stand he fell down ON his back, threw
one leg around the platform railing, and with
one hand chung to the brake rod.
Thus he rode to Fargo. where he had to be
carried from the train. His right side was
frozen from his ear to his ankle, and IL Is prob
able that several fingers Of his right hand will
have to be removed. He 10 in q very bad con-
dition, but will recover.
