BICYCLE ORDER TO STAND
Attorney Thomas Sustains the
Commissioner Action.
Opinion Rendered In Which Validity
of the Restrictions Ii
Maintained.

The order recently issued by the Com
missioners against fast riding on bicycles
over the public streets, and prohibiting
the carrying of children on wheels, has
neither been rescinded nor modified, and
1t goes into effect today.
Whether or not there will be any change
made hereafter is a question that the
hereafter only can determine, but mas
much as the validity of such a regulation
is maintained by the law officer Of ohe
District, Attorney Thomas, IL is probable
that the concessions, if any, will be slight
In his opinion uIon the question raised
in the petition OF DR.. Alleger and others,
asking that the Objectionable regulation
be rescinded, Mr.. Thomas says that so
far the suggestion that the regulatio
interferes with the rights and privileges
OF individuals under the Constitution of
the United States is concerned, he does
not regard the point al well taken. Neither
parents nor other persons have the right
to place little children, incapable of sl,2-e-
ciating danger, in positions OF extraordinary
peril.
''Ch ildren, in contemplation of law,
belong to the State. Parents, being the
natural guardians of their children, Rave
the immediate custody of them, but when
ever that guardianship is abused, aud tie
child is subjected to conditions detrimental
10 its interest nj welfare, the parent may
be deprived of such control
Existing statutes delegated TO the Com
missioners authority to make police reyu-
lations, authorized them, among other
regulations, to make such as IN their
judgment are necessary"
This being the condition OF the law Mr.
Thomas says, the question is whether
the regulation complained Of is reason
able and necessary for the protection OF
life AID limb, and this depends upon
the further question. whether the placing
OF little child. incapable of appreeiating
danger. upon the front OF n bicycle pro
PEELED by an adult. dependent upon his
ability TO maintain an equilibrium while
under speed. - a reasonable and proper
thing to do.
1T seems 10 me-" he concludes, THAT
there Is wide difference in point Of
danger, between placing a child in a car
rage OF ether ordinary vehicle. which is
not dependent upon the skill OF a driver
or rider 10 maintain its equilibrium, and
placing 10 upon the front OF a bicycle pro-
PEELED by rersoD. however skillful. II
Is unwarrantably placing a child in
position OF extraordinary PERIL
Referring TO the case cited by the peti-
tioners, in which it was alleged to have
been shown that a prosecution under the
Illinois statutes against bicycle rider for
carrying a child on the frcnt OF his bicycle
because the law was declared to be uD-
constitutional, Mr.. Thomas says the cita-
ton is not in point, since while the act
may not be brought within the Illinois
statute. the practice may nevertheless be
dangerous to life and limb.
The attorney says that If in the Judg-
ment Of the Commissioners. the regulation
is necessary for the protection OF life and
limb, it should be enforced.

WHITE BUILDING.

force of the rain storm to such an extent
that pla ying would be impossible.
The Senators did everything from nurs-
ing ina ginary injuries to DeMontreville' s
leaving the field for five minutes to della =
the game, and when they did profess u
willingness to proceed they gave an exbi-
btion Of how not TO retire the side.
O'Brien and DeMoDtreville, who had been
SO steady, suddenly collapsed and made
remarkable errors. OF Course, the fall
ing down was intentional, and il was a
good trick at that stage of the struggle,
but unfortunately for the Statesmen Tim
Hurst was SO good Il mud horse that he
didn't mind the rain, and insisted upon
keeping at it; So when the farcical inning
was over the Pirates had ten runs.
1t would be a waste Of time to give the
details of the other innings.
Mercer wisely let down and simply
lobbed the ball over the plate, rather than
risk permanent injury to his arm by
pitching hard in the rain.
AS n result of his kindness the Pirates
fattened their batting averages at n lively
rate, scoring six runs in the sixth inning,
Oh six singles, two bases on balls, a wild
pitch and DcMoDtreville's error.
In the seventh, McAulcy went behind
the bat, Abbey came in from ceDterfield
to take Mercer's place, and German re-
muff by German and wild pitch swelied
the locals record to nineteen. but in the
eighth Abbey retired the side in one, two,
three order.
WashingtoD's best chance to prevent n
shut-out after the first inning was In the
ninth, when. after McAuley flied out.
Cartwright doubled and went TO third on
DeMontreville's hunt, but German famed
and Abbey popped fly 10 Mack, ending
the game.
The Senators left tonight for Cincinnati.
Silver King will pitch there tomorrow.

lSne cial to The Tsnes.l

tSDeNldl 70 lie [AHcs.b
Pittsburg, July s.-The rain fell heavily
and drenclied the players to the skin. 1
thought Hurst would call the game i'll the
second inning, as he should have done,
and every one ON the grounds, including
Mack, was under the same impression.
Mercer was sure that five innings wouldn't
be pla yed and let up in his pitching. /
della yed the game and made frequent kicks,
but Hurst wouldn't listen. JOYCE.
Tim Hurst made Scrappy and his ba nd
play in a hard rain at Pittsburg yesterday,
and as the Pirates got a big lead at the
start, Joyce automatically delayed the
game hoping that the downpour would
become so heavy that even the mud lark
of an empire would call time on the
regatta" before five innings had been
pulled off.
But when Timothy won't he won't, and
as a result OF his obstinacy and the rain
and other things, the Senators were given
the worst beating of the season and sus
tanned their first shutout. There is great
consolation, however, in the fact that they
were not "whitewashed" in square stand
up and fight game, hut were the victims
OF the weather and Hurst's determin ination.
Joyce did right in trying to save the
game and was warranted In his action
In delaying play in face OF the steady
flood which fell on the grounds.
The other surprise Of the afternoon was
Loulsyille's easy victory over Boston.
Crooks and Rogers have gingered up the
Coluuels 10 a remarkable degree.
The Done Browns again lost TO New York
and Cincinnati took another fall out OF
Philadelphia. Brooklyn changed yestcr-
days proceedings. by lambasting Patsy:s
Spiderson their own grounds, and Baltimore
got the best II Chicago by an amateur
like score. The days play resulted in no
change IN the order uf the clubs standing.
though the percentage is different all
around.
