William Wedgewood has been sued by
the Clinton E. Worden Company upon a
promissory note for $780, the note being
executed by James E. Nelson and Endorsed
by Wedgewood. Wedgewood filed his an
swer yesterday, and in it he recites that
about year ago, while Nelson worked for
the, Worden Company, he was accused OF
embezzling $3.50, and to save himself from
arrest he executed this note, and as a mat

cites that as the cause why it should be
dismissed.

ITHACA, N. Y, December 11.-Now that
the foot ball season is over the interest at
Cornell centers in aquatics. 1t will be but
crews will be hard at work in the gymna-
SUM, under the direction Of Coach Court
ney. The Associated Press representative
last night had talk with Dean White, the
faculty advisory member on athletics in
the council Prof. White said: 1--WE have
not as yet arranged dates for the race with
Harvard or the triangular contest with
Columbia and University of Pennsylvania
We will have but a single varsity crew
next year, which will row for Cornell in
both these races. 1 agree with the growing
sentiment among Comedians, that a crew
should be sent to Henley for the purpose
OF clearing up our record over there. In
case We seEd crew next spring. it will, 1
think, be the same as race in the two
American contests.
AS to the proposition to hold a regatta
between Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia
and Pennsylvania on the Hudson, Cornell,
while she might enter, will make no adj
vances in hat direction at present. We
nave all we can do to arrange for our races
with Harvard, Columbia and Pennsylvania
think We did all right in entering for the
visitors Grand challenge cup in England
last year, except that erred in taking
we go again, we will take twenty candi-
dates more alorg, and will profit much
from our former experience with the cli-
mate and training

Testimony Taken Yesterday Before
the Street Extension Jury.
After The Stars report of the street eX-
tension proceedings closed yesterday after
noon. counsel for the District called Mr.
Lester A. Barr of the firm of Barr & San
rer, builders, as a witness. Mr. Barr stated
that he has been engaged in building and
selling houses during the past six years,
and had built number of houses near
Denison and Leighton's subdivision. in Co
lumbia Heights, last year and this. Ground
in Columbia Heights is by far the more
valuable, he thought.
Counsel for the land owners objected to
such line of inquiry, but Judge Cox over
ruled their objection, holding that the Dis
trict could show the value of lands in ada
cent sections.
Continuing, Mr.. Barr stated that he had
recently purchased lots in Columbia
Heights for 50 and 80 cents a foot, whici h
he considered far superior in every way to
lots in Denison & Leighton'S subdivision.
He stated too, that while there have been
some few buildings erected during the last
two or three years in the subdivision. there
have been more buildings, fine ones, too,
erected in Columbia Heights during that
time than in any other section of the Dis
trict. Columbia Heights also enjoyed bet
ter railroad facilities.
Mr.. Barr was subjected to a sharp cross
examination by Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, but
rothing new was developed, and at the
close of his testimony the case was ad-
journed until this morning. During the af-
ternoon District Commissioners Truesdell
and Powell were present in the court room
for a few minutes.

improvements to the Long bridge, it being
stated that a gang of men, numbering at
least 500, was to be set to work, with a
view of practically rebuilding the struc-
ture.
At the local supervisors office a Star re-
porter was informed that a force of men,
about fifteen in number, is engaged today
putting in a few new timbers that have
rotted in the course of time, and also re-
laying some of the rails that have become
unfit for further service. This work, it was
stated, is only such becomes necessary
from time to time and there is no sgnifi-
canoe whatever in the fact that workmen
are engaged on the bridge No alterations
are being made to the roadway, and the
work in hand has no relation to the use of
the Pennsylvania tracks by the Mount YER
non railway, according to the supervisors
office. 1t was also stated that the office is
entirely ignorant of any contemplated al
terations or extensive improvements to the
bridge.

SUSTAINED THE UMPIRE.
Action Taken by the District Basket
Ball League.


Ball League.
The District Basket Ball League held a
special meeting al the National Guard Ar
mory last evening. Oscar P. Schmidt, the
president of the league presided, and the
attendance was excellent. The meeting was
called to dispose Of the Protest tiled by the
Potomac Wheelmen to the effect that UNI
pire Bieber's decision in ruling one of their
men off the floor in their last game with the
Washington Light Infantry Corps was
wrong. The protest was signed by Charles
z. Greene, the manager OF the Wheelmen,
who followed up his written statement by
saying that Mr.. Bieber's decisions through
out the game were entirely in favor of the
Washington Light Infantry Corps, and
that the umpire had said that the Wheel
men were too weak to play the soldier
boys, any way.
The infantry boys claimed that Raab was
put off the floor in accordance with the
rules, and that the game should go on the
standing of the clubs as won by them, the
game being given to them because the
Wheeimen refused to play longer
Quite discussion followed but when Mr.
Schmidt put the motion, it was decided by a
large majority in favor of the game stand
Ing as it is, and UNFOLDING Umpire Bieber.
Secretary F. p Libbey took advantage of
the opportunity to urge that umpires be
more strict in their rulings, and that two
umpires should be used in a game.
The latter suggestion passed without ac-
ton, however, as did one to the effect that
an umpire be allowed to rule a player off
without warning. 1t vas generally con-
coded that the rough playing in the games
should be stopped, and the delegates pres
ent concurred heartily that the umpires
should exercise their full powers to stop it,
1t was also decided that as a timekeeper
and referee had too much responsibility,
the positions hereafter should be occupied
by two persons instead of one. The dele
present follows
Messrs. Lihbey, Alexander and Wiggin
Corcoran Cadets, Mr.. Gumiell; Light In
