STRUNG GUARD WIRES ONLY
President Crosby Assured the Court
His Men Were Doing That.
Thereupon Judge Kimbail Held That
4 the Tenleytown Trolley Road Of
ficiuls Had Violated No Law.

The case against the Georgetown & Ten
leytown Electric Railway for striDging
additional wires Illegally over the route
of their road, was brought up before Judge

Mr.. o. 7. Crosby, president of the road, sat
beside him. Mr.. IL. r. Purdy, the super
intendent, and David Anderson, the
electrician, were also in court, as warrants
were made out for their arrest
The defense claims, through their attor
ney, that the men were merely strnging
what are known as guard wires
Guard wires are wires stretched on each
side, parallel with and a few inches above
the trolley wire, for the purpose of protect
ing the trolley wire from any stray tele-
graph of telephone wires which may happen
to rail across the trolley.
The guard wires are not really for the
protection of the trolley, but for the tcle-
phone and telegraph lines, as any contact
with the trolley wire would damage the
former.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh put Scrgt.
Hancy and Officer EcrrymaD on the stand,
who testified that they had found Assistant
Supt Anderson and his gang ofnen working
between he hours vi and 3o'cluck on last

wires Were being strung. and, in fact.

The publishing company originally sued
the recorder before a justice of the peace

Wreck of n Freight Trim.

Owing to The unusually heavy freight
traffic over the w. and Q. branch Of the
Southern railroad it has been necessary
for some days past to divide the regular
freight train into two sections. The first
section of the south-bound freight passing
Falls Church at 10 o'clock Friday night
stopped for instructions and was telescoped
by the second section, seriously injuring
Miles Harlow, one of the brakemen. DR..
Geo. &. Fadeley was summoned. and after
considerable effort succeeded in restoring
him to consciousness and it is thought he
will recover; several of the other train
hands We're more or less injured, but none
seriously. Some We're thrown from the
train and alighted several yards distant.
This is the most serious wreck that has oc-
CURED on this road for several years. The
wreclling train was telegraphed for inlme-
diately and large force OF hands cleared
the track as soon as possible. There were
only two cars demolished. One was loaded
with hay and the other was empty. The
conductor, MIR. V. A Payne, had his knee
split and. was removed to Alexandria in
company with the other ones who were
more seriously hurt. The track was clear
ed by 3 o'clock.

The fourth candidate came from Boston

Everybody remembers too, that the Wig
liant was selected to defend the cup after
several glorious trials, ard that she beat
Valkyrie II three straight races.
The last one was, however. very close.
In fact, it was only the second really ex-
citing race that ever took place for the
cup the Puritan-Genesta event, above de-
scribed. being the other. The series of five
races began OH October j, but there We're q
couple of mo wind days before the match
was completed.
The first race, won by the Vigilant. was
fifteen miles to windward and return, when
she was victorious by 5 min. 4S sec. The
second race was triangular and the margin
10 min. 30 sec. The third and decisive con-
test, on October 10, was a beat down the
Long Island coast and a run home in a
strong wind.
The Valkyrfe rounded the outer mark
min. 30 sec. ahead of Vigilant.
On the run before the wind the Vigilant
managed to overhaul the cutter, and finally
won by the small difference Of 40 seconds,
the American having had to allow Valkyrie

tien of the several street car lines. and re-
port at once whether the regulations nave
been strictly complied with. While nearly
all of the roads have equipped their cars
with fcnders, they have not observed that
requirement of law which provides that
there shall be no obstruction between the
body of the car and the surface OF the
tracks In fact, it provides for a 1ree
space of fifteen inches, so that in case e

be taken to compel strict compliance

LONDON, September I'm the course of
an article on the international yacht race.
the Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon saws
there is less interest in the race at New
York today than in the Earl Of Dunraven's
previous attempt to win the Americas cup;
but, despite any rash or unfair criticism
which may have been uttered in the excite
ment of the moment, these competitions
tend to unite the two nations more closely.
The love of sport for sports sake Is char
acteristic of Americans as well as of the
English All gratitude is due the Earl Of
Dunraven. If he should be beaten again 1t
would only be another incentive to him and
to others to try again.
T. p OConnor's Sun, in its issue today,
says that over the claim of Americans to
be ranked as sportsmen of the purest
water there hangs a cloud. 1t is only
necessary, the Sun says, to glance over
their methods to be satisfied that they are
most dangerous opponents.
The Chronicle says this morning: If val
kyrie III does not hoist the winning rag
today or on Tuesday, we shall probably
never build a yacht that will do as Well in
the dry air of American waters as In the
moist winds of Albion. Yet we may be
sure that the rivalry now established Will
not die.

AGUIRRA RELEASED.
SanxuiIIy Will lie Granted a Civil
Trial Soon.

The State Department received cable
gram from Consul General Williams at
Havana stating that Aguirra had been
released by the Spanish authorities and
that Sanguilly would be granted a civil
trial soon. This was welcome news to the
department, as the case of these two
United States citizens imprisoned in Cuba
has dragged tediously for months. Consul
General Williams was active in seeking
protection for Aguirra and Sanguilly, SO
much so that he offended the former Span
ish minister, Muragua. who requested his
recall. Later the State Department made
very energetic representations at Madrid
and Havana These first bore fruits in the
concession that Aguirra and Sanguilly
would be given civil and not military trials.
The release of Aguirra and the prompt
trial of Sangully will secure everything
for which the United States has contended.
