THEY THINK IT is A FARCE
Railway Presidents Brought Int
Court Daily About Tenders
Next Tuesday the Whole Question Is
To BE Settled, But Meanwhile the
Procession VIII Continue.

If Assistant District Attorney Pugh has
his way, the presidents OF the street rail-
way lines who fail to equip their cars with
tenders will have to appear in the police
| conrt every morning and give bonds.
A few minutes after Judge Kimball had
announced that the car fender cases against
| three railway companies would be postponed
until next Tuesday, June IL. Assistant
District Attorney Pugh busted himself in his
| office making out additional informations
| against the corporations, and yesterday
| President Dunlop, of the Washington and
| Georgetown; President Baker, of the CO.
| lumbia. and Secretary Purdy, of the George
| town and Tenallytown railways again
| turned up in court.
| MIR. Dunlop's counsel, Col Totten, opened
arguments, after the charges had been read
by declaring .1his thing is getting monoton-
| ous"
II cannot control the movements of Mr..
| Pugh,' explained Judge Kimball.
"Why," spuke up Lawyer Wilson, "tbis
is regular farce Are we expected th come
| in here every morning and have our personal
bonds taken? We have other important
businesso on hand
! The CURT suggested that he make some
| arrangements with the Prosecutor. but Mr.
| Wilson shook his head and said: I'm
| possible
II think" said he, shat this is really
| ridiculous. and understand new warrant
| will be issued every day. / do not quite uu-
| derstand it,
"Gentlemen," spoke up his honor. "come
around and have your personal bonds
taken"
With disgust in every line of their several
1 couuteuances, the three defendants ranged
| themselves along the wall while Clerk
! Harper read them the usual formula.
| When Mr.. Pugh. who was in his office
during the proceedings heard of the re-
marks of the attorneys. he said, warmly:
/ ''Of course it is a farce, and the farce
will continue until tbose cars are provided
with Tenders. We can, if successful,
make those companies pay $50 per day for
each car run without Il fender. There will
| be the same procession in court every morn
! ing, for / intend TO make il so.''
A charge of running cars without tenders
has been filed against the Brightwood lire
and representative from that company
will join the ranks this morning To have
| his bonds taken

FUN OF THE SEASON.
Humorous Request For the Removal
of Dead Animals.


of Dead Animals.
One Of the lingering effects OF the re-
cent sizZard is the large number of calls
sent to police headquarters for dead ami
mails. Police Telephone Operator Samuel
w. Maddux was kept busy yesterday an
swering the calls from parties who wanted
the fostering remains of dead animals and
fowl removed from their respective neigh
borhood.
The large number Of deaths of these ami
mails is directly traceable to the killing
rays of the sun, which kept this city up TO
the boiling point for the past six days.
One of the requests for the dead animal
wagon yesterday from a lady of facetious
turn of mind.

gutter Poor polly has lain there since

Judge kimhalrs Decision Rela-
tive to Msry-gO-ROunds.
+ TENDER or FEE is MADE
All an Owner or Runner of Flying
Horses Has to Do Is to Offer to
Take Out His License, and If It Is
Refused He Then Can Go Ahead
without Fear OF Prosecution.

Judge Kimhatl yesterday decided that
nerry-go-rnuDd owners and runners are
law-proof after they tender their money for
a license and are refused 1T by the Commits
sioners
The case OF Maurice UlIman, charged with
having an unlicensed merry-goround on
Georgia avenue, has been before the court
several times and yesterday, after the
routine work of the court had been done,
Judge Kimbail, fan in hand, and Prosecutor
Pugh and Lawyer shillington, loaded with
digests and books ksonauthoTities, made ready
to bring the case tn a close
The prisoner sat between the two law
yers, and besides the judge, the two law
yers and one bailiff, the room contained
not even one spectator.
Mr.. Shillington argued loud and long,
and rested on that part of the regulations
stating that "the proper authorities shall
issue license" He rested on the shall" !"
and repeated and emphasized it with ges-
lures and stamps OF the foot.
Then he went into the books and brought
to light mary authorities in several States
and decisions in courts tending to show
that when man asked the proper author
ity for license for an amusement and
agreed to pay for it at once. If then the
license was not granted to him he could
go on and the law could not touch him.
How long Mr.. Shillington would have
talked on the subject, or how much deeper
he would have delved into law, no one
knew, but his honor stopped him and said
he had found the key TO protecting the
owners OF ''merry- ry-go-rounds" from the
action of the law
Judge Kimbail then stated that next
to SALOONS the flying horses furnished the
largest number III cases for the police
courts aud he would be glad, personally,
Ia see them stopped once for all. He was
obliged, however, as a judge, i'll the light
uf the law and precedents, to decide that a
tender of license money relieves the merry
go-round owner from the operation OF the
law.
Mr.. Pugh agreed with the judge in his
conclusions aud Mr. Ullman was dis
missed
The judge stated further that the upper
courts have decided that the pa yment for
daily license is as good as payment for
others and that they cannot be prosecuted
under the revenue law. Commissioners
only recourse is to prosecute for a nuisance
The decision Will cause CONSERVATION
among those citizens who have protested
again and again tn the Commissioners
against erry-guronnds in their neigh
burhoods

Decision Giving Western Star
Third Place, a Curious One.
WAY BACK IN A BIG FIELD
Deyisee Was Entitled to the Place.
Jockey Admits He Was a Loser.
Charma Again Shows Her Charms.
valkyrie Had an Easy Time-Marie
Lowell Was Heavily Supported.

Tue judge who catches the third horse
at the st. Asaph track must have been
asleep yesterday at the finish of the
third race. That is the only possible way
to account for the terrible bIunder he
made in placing Western Star third.
Ii the finish for third money had been
close and he bad given the decision to
the wrong horse the error might have
been excusable, but when horse passes
under tue wire next to last in field
of ten horses and is jumped into third
position things are coming to a pretty
pass.
Devisee was third by a guod two lengths
from Lento while Western Star got off
seeond, Immediately dropped back TO next
to last and stayed there throughout the
race. Guest who rode him said he was
next to last aud was very much surprised
whenhe saw his number hung up
The only possible explanation for the
bunder was the fact that Devisee,s num-
Der on the saddle cloth was eleven"
while Western Stars was zone" The
cloth may have hung tapped over aud
looked TO the judge as il it was one. The
colors OF the two horses are entirely
different
HARD ON THE BOOKIEs.
as Western Star had been heavily played for
third money. This however, is not what is
wanted. and too much care cannot be
exercised in placing the horses.
One more bookey than has been on during
the past week did business, and they all
managed 10 quit winners on the day. The
track was fast In the early part OF the
afternoon. bat the heavy TairstoFm that
came up while the horses were az the post
in the latter part of the afternoon, soon
made it heavy. The racing was rather
tame, as all of the events were won in handy
fashion.
Devisee was the favorite in the opening
event, going to the post at 2 70 / with Sails
bury second choice, at to 8. They were
at the post for over an hour. Flynn did not
seem to be in his usual good form during
in great shape.
WON ALL THE WAY.
Blondy's Victim, a 20 to shot, took COM
mand at the start, and, making all the
running, won easily from Salisbury, with
Devisee third.
Charma again demonstrated what good
filly she is by winning the two-year-old race
in handy fashion.
The third race was simply a gallop for
Valkyrie, who went 10 The front when he
pleased, and won easily.
Belisar.us was hot first choice in the
opening race, but could do no better than
second at the finish. Fidget made all the
running and won easily.
Oporto opened up big gap at the start
of the fifth event and was never caught
Luray was second a length before In-
timidad.
The closing event went to Marie Lowell,
who was very heavily supported. She cut
out all the work aud won easily from Indra-
