MANY Cases TO COME
BEFORE TIE COURTS
Criminal Trials to Be Held
at This Term.
Labor Leaders VIII Answer to the
Charge of Conspiracy.
Francis j. lLicckhocfer, Accused of
Embe<zIement, May BE Tried
Doc y. Tharpe VIII Plead.

1t is expected that great deal of bust
ness will be disposed OF during the pres
ent term of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict. The jurors summoned to serve in
the circuit and criminal branches will re-
port this morning, and will be sworn in
by the justices of the courts in which they
will serve.
After impaneling the jury in Criminal
Court No. l, the first matter which will
demand the attention of Justice Clabaugh
will be the arguments for new trial and
arrest of judgment in the case of George
w. Horton, who was recently convicted OF
the murder of Mrs. Jane Nicholson on
June "a last. In the event that the matter
is disposed of adversely TO the defendant,
it is probable that Justice Clabaugh will
impose sentence Immediately.
Another matter of interest which will
come up for consideration in the criminal
courts of the District during the current
term will be the trial of number of local
labor leaders on charge of conspiracy,
under the antitrust law. A majority of
the men indicted are members of District
Assembly No. IS, Knights of Labor, and
the others are affiliated with the local
Federation of Labor
The hearing of this case, II is believed,
will consume a week or ten days, and will
be conducted by Justice Bradley. presiding
in Criminal Court No. 2. The Government
will be represented by Assistant District
Attorney Ashley NJ. Gould and the de-
PENDANTS by Messrs. RaIston & Siddons and
Jere N. Wilson The trial is set for
Monday next.
Several minor cases have been set for
trial tomorrow in Criminal Court No. 1,
and it is expected that they will be dis
posed of during the day.
It is the purpose Of District Attorney
Henry E. Davis, if possible, to bring TO
trial during the present term of court all
the prisoners now in Jail awaiting trial.
There are, however, several persons
charged with crime who are at large on
that these. too, shall be tried during the
present term. OF these, in all probability,
Francis Joseph Kieckhoefer, charged
with embezzlement, will be the first called
for trial.
Among the prisoners who are in jail who
have not yet been indicted by the grand
jury, but who will probably be tried during
the present month are Doc NJ. Tharpe.
who killed Aaron D. Bishop and wounded
Policeman Joseph Acton at the Balti
more and Potomac depot On last Wednes-
day night, and Gertrude Johnson, co,ored,
who is charged with infanticide.
James, alias Pat Carr, who is charged
with housebreaking, will also be called
for trial.

A suit for Partition.

suit filed in equity yesterday recalls
the death of Fireman Joseph Daniels,
which occurred in 1882. The suit was
filed by John H. Daniels ct al, through
their attorney. Alexander H. Bell against
Mary L. Belt. ct al. asking the court to
decree the sale of the premises, $40 Fourth
Street northeast, for the Purpose of parti-
tion. The property is vested in the chil-
dren of Joseph Daniels, formerly a member
of the Fire Department of the District
who was killed in 1852. Daniels, it is
stated, was attached to No. fire engine
and was killed by the overturning of the
apparatus near the Baltimore and Ohio
station while on his way to a fire. The
Fire Department raised fund and pur-
chased the property in question. which
was placed in the hands of Samuel Bacon,
trustee, for the benefit of the deceased S
children. The children are now all of age
except one, and desire the sale of the
property.

TO SPAN ROCK CREEK.
The Plans for the Massachnsstts Ave-
nuc bridge Approycd


Plans have been approved for the pro-
posed bridge across Rock Creek on the
line Of Massachusetts Avenue. The work.
ing drawings and profile for the structure
were prepared some months ago in the
office of the District Engineer Department
and sent 10 the Chief of Engineers Of the
Army for approval General Wilson hav-
ing approved the drawings they were re-
turned to the District Commissioners yes
terday and steps will now be taken to
secure ground for the approaches.
Congress originally appropriated SIS, ,OG0
for the work, but subsequently increased
that sum to 100000. at the same time
authorizing the Commissioners to build
S225,O bridge. the difference to be sub
sequently appropriated. After the initial
appropriation of S25, coo the Commissioners
contracted with the Crawford Paving Com
pany to build the first part of the founda-
ton. No work could be begun, however
until after the adoption of the plans by
the War Department.
The plans provide for brick and stone
arch having span of fifty feet, and foun-
dation resting on the solid rock far below
the surface. The keystone of the arch
will be about thirty-one feet above the
surface of Rock Creek. An earth en-
bankment will be built across the arch
connecting Massachusetts Avenue with the
extension of the avenue. The grade of the
embankment will be on level with the
grade of the avenue and the roadway will
be le0 feet wide, equal to the width of
Massachusetts Avenue.
A large culvert will be constructed
through the embankment of the eastern
approach to the bridge and through it will
pass new roadway to be known as the
Waterside Drive.

ANOTHER PROTEST FILED.
Objection to the Construction of the
Loon in Mount Pleasant.

Objection TO the tOnstruction OF tue
Loop in Mount Pleasant.
A protest against the proposed loop at
the terminus of the Fourteenth Street line
has been fled with the District Commits
sioners by James B. Cook, of 2514 Univer-
sity Place. He asserted that recent press
articles indicated that there was little
doubt that the Commissioners would
eventually yield to the Capital Traction
Company in the matter of the loop. not
withstanding the protest of almost every
property owner and citizen of Columbia
Heights.
Mr.. Cook points out that an opinion by
the Attorney for the District rules that il
must be clearly shown that the convenience
of the public requires the erection Of 4
passenger station before it can be legally
authorized. "If such is the case he con-
tinues, - how is it that the convenience of
the people requires the erection of a pas
that with possibly an isolated exception
or two there are no such stations either in
this city or in Baltimore.
1T seems a clear case the company is
willing to build a loop and merely urge
the necessity OF passenger station as an
excuse for doing so. II the convenience of
the public is to be considered why is 1t
that the population OF Mount Pleasant is
required to walk to the present terminus
of the traction company's line instead of
the line being extended where there is
ample patronage to justify such extern
sion?"
Mr.. Cock expressed a hope to the Com
missioners that the matter would at least
be deferred until Senator Mcmillan and
Representative Babcock, Chairmen, re-
spectively, of the Senate and House Dis
triet Committees. have an opportunity TO
consider it. He said the whole question
would certainly be brought to hair atten-
tion as soon as Congress convenes. Mr..
Cook asserted that if the demands of the
traction company were just there would
certainly be no objection to having the
loop authorized by an act of Congress
land so remove any suspicion that cor
poration is being backed by the Commits
sioners as against the common people
