Mr.. Samuel W. Love, a merchant, occa-
stoned some little surprise when he ap
peared in the police court yesterday morn
ing charged with ''scorchiug'' and made
vigorous defense la his own Behalf
IL has been the general custom of the
persons charged with violating the bicycle
regulations to forfeit collateral, and thus
save both time and money, but Mr
Love thought he would stand on his rights
yesterday. and though he was fined by
Judge Miller, it was only after ne mad
| made most emphatic denial of the
charges preferred by the court that ne
Was forced to surrender
Policeman DuvalI, OF the bicycle squad,
testified that he had arrested Mr. Love
on North Capitol street, because he was
riding on his wheel at rate OF Sc ven teen
and oDe-quarter miles an hour, speed
much greater. he said, than that per-
nitted by the regulations.
When Mr.. Live was placed on the stand
he said most emphadcally that he was
not guilty. He said that he was a mer-
chant, aud being fully acquainted with the
| regulations had not the least desire to
violate them.
Il have been rlding bicycle for Years,
he continued. ''and think that | am as
good u judge of speed as MI Duval if
not better one. l have known him for

would break the regulations deliberately
in front of his eyes. 1 know that / was
not going at greater rate than nine
miles per hour, a1dif Mr.. Duvall says that

false
Judge Mills asked Policeman Duvall if he
was sure that the accused was breaking
the law.
Il am positive. sir,'' was the reply
Then Mr. Love is fined So ruled the

ORDERED TO SHUT DOWN.
Mr.. Warfield Notified to Close the

The Commissioners yesterday afternoon
denied the statement which appeared in
an afternoon paper that they had issued
an order directing that the Smith crema-
tory, back Of the old Observatory grounds,

which had been reached and published
some time ago, namely, that he will
have TO discontinue cremating The garbage

its remaining there.

neighborhood with regard TO the noxiOus
Odors given out by the crematory Con.
tractor Warfield was notified that he
must make other arrangements for ere
mating the garbage at his earliest con

1t is probable that within the next few

meet the appreciation of the Commissioners
in which event a speedy solution Of the
