OBsTRUCTING STREETS.
Two Cases Tried Today by the Police
Court.


Court.
Thomas Cusick, a Belt line car driver,
was in the Police Court this morning
charged with obstructing the street with a
car. The scene of the alleged obstruction
was on P street northwest near 7th street,
where the horses are changed. Driver Cu-
sick pulled his car off the track and left it
standing on the concrete pavement about
forty minutes. Policeman Gibson thought
1t singular that SO many cars are pulled
from the track at this point, and he was
told that 1t was done for the purpose OF
having the particular car omit a trip. When
he spoke to the driver the latter told him
that one of his horses had lost a shoe, and
he was waiting for another animal.
The driver, in his own behalf, told the
court that his horse lost a shoe. and he
pulled off the track to wait for horse
from the stable.
Judge Miller wanted to know why it was
that he did not take horse from the car
behind him, and he said the driver of the
other car, he thought, would not give him
horse.
The court Imposed fine oe IS. which was
paid by the company.
Engineer Robert Ward of a Baltimore and
Ohio railroad train was also IN court on a
charge of street obstruction. He was going
to Baltimore at the time, and there was a
train ahead Of him. His trafn was stopped
by a red signal. and 1t was case of OBJ
structing the crossing at Delaware avenue
and H street, or chance an accident. There
was a coal car across the main track, and
that was what caused the hosting of the
danger signal.
A gripman and conductor of a Columbia
cable car told the court that their car was
DELAYED more than seven minutes.
Judge Miller said that the engineer could
not be made to pass a danger signal. The
avoidance of an acciden; is more important
than the obstruction of street crossing.
The charge was dismissed.

Court Cases.

Contractor Getz Defendant in Police
Court Cases.
Lawyer John A. Clarke appeared in the
Police Court today in the case of Contractor
August Getz, against whom there were two
charges of violating the law. Mr.. Getz had
several men employed in making improve
mcnts to the Columbia Phonograph Com
pany's place on Pennsylvania avenue yes
terday, and when Policeman McCort
stopped there he got into a discussion
with the builder. A large crowd of people
corgregated there to hear the dispute, and
Mr.. Getz was compelled to go to the station
and leave collateral There was no light on
charge was preferred against him.
During the trial of the case Mr.. Getz said
he thought no light was necessary on the
sidewalk, where the material was left.
Judge Miller. speaking of the case, said
that if this material was allowed on the side
walk without light at night some one
would get injured, and the District would
be liable.
Some people on the avenue late at night
would stumble over a house." remarked Mr.
Clarke.
Counsel thought that the law does not
apply to sidewalks, and said that along East
Capitol street the railroad tracks were on
the sidewalks, and there are no lights on
them.
'"Then the contractor is LIABLE" said the
court.
There was no evidence of an Intentional
violation of law on Mr.. Getz's part, and his
personal bonds were taken.

convicted several days ago of criminally
libeling Baron Fava, the Italian ambassa-
dor, will withdraw the motion for new

fenced by Judge Cole Monday next.
The penalty for the offense is said to ba
"in the bosom of the court" That is, the
punishment is left entirely to the discretion
of the Judge before whom the defendant

either imprason or fine Moreno. or may in
flict both fine and Imprisonment. 1t Is un-
derstood however that his counsel will urge
that a nominal fine will suffice, although
1t is believed that District Attorney Brney

disappeared. Wednesday he was arrested
