THE OPEN CELLAR STAIRWAY.

Hts Right OF Existence viii Re Tested
In the Trial of Corn PeddIer.
Ihe rights OF storekeepers to have cellar
stalrways in front of their premises has
been questioned, and Judge Rivers, of the
municipal court, will render an opinion in
the case Friday, when the case of P. B.
Condor. who was arrested for peddling
without license, is brought up.
Condor had q stand in the space occu-
pied by cellar stairway, which had been
covered with boards, and which he claims
to have rented. As a renter he would not
De required to pay peddler's license. 1t
is upon this line that the defense will be
conducted
City Attorney Morris said that there are
special provisions made for elevators and
coal holes in the sidewalk which may only
be opened temporarily, and are closed and
covered so as not to form an obstruction.
The right of persons who own build
ings on the business streets to maintain
an open stairway is questioned. If they
may do so, they are privileged to sub-let
the space occupied by the stairway, and
under those circumstances Condor Is q
corn merchant and not corn peddler, and
he has violated neither the license ordin-
nance nor the ordinance regarding the OBJ
struction of streets.
This Will be test case" the city attor
ney said yesterday. "As far as Condor is
concerned, it makes very little difference
whether he is charged with failure to buy
license or with obstructing the streets.
The question at issue is the right Of store
keepers to maintain open cellar stair

THEY TURNED 1T AROUND.
One Way Of Connecting a County Road
With q Wooden Bridge.

There is good deal of i'll feeling in Du-
vanish precinct over a road dispute that
eliminated in the arrest of nine of the
residents of the precinct. Some time ago q
body of citizens asked Chairman Gasch, of
the board of county commissioners, for
permission to connect the River Park
road with the bridge on the South Seattle
roadway. The privilege was given them
readily, but the method they used to con-
meet the road and the bridge is what led
to their arrest. .
The Duwamish bridge has long wooden
approach on the River Park side. The cit
liens proceeded to connect the bridge with
their own road by turning it around.
They tore up the approach and turned it
in the direction OF River Park, leaving the
people on the Duwamish road in the same
fix they themselves were before. War
rants were issued for L. III. Chase, Henry
Phelps, Julius Swede, Herman Swede,
Gustave Erickson, Peter Hanson, John
Gould, Fred Gould and Archie Morphy.
They will be tried September TO-
In the meantime the damage has been
repaired, but Justice Carson is of the
opinion that the criminality of the first
action has not been done away with.

A NoIsELEss MOTOR.
An Electric Car without Gearinv-Na~
Era in Street Railroadin~.
Cleveland Leader and Herald

Cleveland Leader and Herald
new and beautiful car, manufactured by
the Short Electric Railway Company, was on the
streets yesterday afternoon. II il proves to be
the success that it appears TO be. it marks an i'm.
portant era in electric street railroading 1t is
equipped with the Short gearless motors, which
are now attracting attention from street railroad
men all over the country, bringing to this city
many prominent inanciers, "a well as engineers
and railway officials OF various degrees Even
Europe and Asia are interested recent visitors
and correspondence having lately been received,
including tramway managers from England.
France, Germany, Bangkok, Siam, and Toxic,
Japan.
The peculiar value of the new motor lies In
the entire absence of the toothed gearing which
has been so heavy q burden on the railroad
companies In repairs and upon the public in
noise and clatter. The motor runs as quietly as
horse car without any of the whir and rattle
OF machinery which is so Objectionable upon
the Cleveland lines. 1t is said that the cost of
repairs is reduced 70 per cent.
For two OF three hours the short car was put
into heavy service on the Johnson lines. A
trail car was attached and both cars loaded to
their full capacity s'the gearless' easily taking
the heaviest grades and sharpest curves to be
found in the city. At one point the trail
car left the track. In order to test
the new motors the brakes were set tight
upon the trail car and the full load was
drawn on the track and around a curve with
entire ease. Hon. Tom l. johnson, the presi-
dent of the Brooklyn street railroad, was an
interested spectator. and was thoroughly de-
lighted by the remarkable tests, particularly
the small amount of electric power taken by the
motors. Professor Short himself handled the
car throughout the run.
The car itself is very handsome, having plate
glass windows and special brass trimmings It
is painted the standard Pennsylvania railroad
color, and is lettered with the Short company
name and the words "Gearless Motor, Noise
less" on each dashboard. The car is to be sent
TO various parts OF the country for exhibition
before railway men, its first destination being
Albany, N Y, where large equipment con-
tract is pending.
The principal office of the Short Electric Rail-
way Company Is in Cleveland, o., and the
agency of the Northwestern states is In charge
