Work Done by Defendant Was Not
Dentistry

All the testimony in the case against
Cassius II. Carr, charged in the Police
Court with practicing dentistry in the
District OF Columbia without a license.
is practically in, and the trial will prob
ably be concluded today.

District Attorney Baker and Mr.. JEFF
f0rds, counsel for the defense yester-
day, relative to evidence introduced at
the hearing Monday, the defendant testi-
fed in his own defense. He stated that
he is not a dentist and has never adver-
tised himself as such: and, that what
ever work he did in the line Of dentistry
was in demonstrating the utility and
pracucability of the anchored adjusta-
bic denture," known as the Carr dent
ure. He also said that he was pursuing
a course of dentistry at the Columbian
struction Of Dr. Julian Cartel, Of this
city.
DR.. James b. Rich the oldest practi-
toner of dentistry in the world was
called in behalf Of the defendant DR..
Rich said that in his opinion the work
which the accused did could not properly
be termed the practice of dentistry. Sew
eral other witnesses were called and tes-
tilted that in their opinion the operations
which they saw DIR. Carr perform was
not the practice Of dentistry The argu-
ment in the case Will be heard today.

NEwSBOY IN COURT.
Charged With Crying Newspapers
After Hours

Walter Brown, a colored newsboy, was
taken into Police Court yesterday morn
ing, on charge of crying newspapers
on the streets after o'clock at night
The little fellow pleaded guilty but said
that he did not know that he was VIC
lating the law.
Judge Kimball remarked that this was
the first case of its kind ever brought
to his attention. He said that newsbovs
had been worrying the life out of people
for six months and had not been ar
rested.
He asked why the boy was brought in
to court. The officer replied that Major
Moore had issued orders To have the law
enforced He explained that he found
the boy at Eighteenth Street and Ore
gon Avenue crying an extra New York
paper.
Judge Kimball read the regulation pro-
viding that boys may cry their papers
on secular days between the hours of G
a. M and p. m. and only local papers
issued on extraordinary occasions
AS the case was the first of its kind
before the judge, he thought that taking
the boys personal bonds would be sufi-
cient warning.

America. lie said in part: THE Rio
Grande serves as Il dividing line between
the Latin and Saxon American states
We, the Saxons, are apt to consider our
selves far in advance of our South
American neighbors. but we do not think
OF the difference there is between us
geographically and otherwise. We have
no knowledge Of the literature of these
countries nor have we any books bearing
on the subject though it holds the same
relation TO the letters of Spain as does
that of the United States TO English lit
