c. W. SteNeusOn's Invention Great Inn
proyement over other Machine.
Squire G.. W. Stevenson, of this city
has invented typewriter which has
automatic ribbon rollers, red and a
blue ribbon, which allows the machine
to write in two colors, and the ma
chine is only about half the weight
and half as complicated as other ma
chimes. 1t has only 9s keys and the
shift is so perfectly arranged that the
letters or figures can be made in red
or blue ink just as the writer desires
The machine is so simply constructed
that should it get out of repair IL
would not take a machinist and kit
OF tools to repair it.
The machine will be called the
Stephenson" and patented. The
model which Mr.. Stephenson now has
is only rough one, but perfect
model will be made in Buffalo in a
few days.
Mr.. Stephenson has labored quietly
but faithfully and persistently on his
machine for almost a year, and now
that he has it completed and has in
terested capital in his invention he
feels that his reward is sure.-Okla-

COMPLAINT AGAINST MEMBERS.
Police Lieutenant Boyle Explains to
the District Commissioners.

John Morisi, of ITO Pennsylvania
Avenue northwest, recently protested to
the District Commissioners against the
presence OF pushcarts in the vicinity of
Seventeenth Street and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.. The protest was accompanied by a
petition signed by fourteen residents CT
Pennsylvania Avenue and Seventeenth
Street
The matter was referred TO Lieutenant
Boyle, of the Third precinct police station,
who reported that the only time when
pushcar,s stand on Seventeenth Street is
from II to 1890 o'clock daily and then
only between Pennsylvania Avenue and +
Street. opposite the State, War and Navy
Department building. The Lieutenant in
his report says:
Two or three years ago | had an officer take
| one OF these vendes before the Police Court
Tor standing ON the street, and the defence made
was that the vendors were there To accommodate
the clerks who wanted fruit after eating their
lunches. Judge Kimhall. after hearing the evil
denccr said that, while it was violation OF law
to stand their pushCnrts the street. he would
not impose fine, as these stood there only
to accommodate the clerks, and he dismissed the
case Since then the officers have allowed two
pnshcarts to stand as mentioned above.
To-day Private Russell had one of them before
the court again and, when explanation was made
10 the Judge, he dismissed the case, and told ME
| That, without positive orders from higher aI-
| tholty 70 keep them away, he thought it would
he as well 10 let matters stand they were, Mr..
| Push the assistant attorney for the District OF
| Columbia, agreeing with him. II it is desired.

SMITHS TRIAL NEARLY ENDED.
The Jury VIII Probably Decide His
Fate This Afternoon.

The trial of Edward Smith. colored,
who is charged with the murder of Ed
mona Jackson, also colored, is nearing a
close. The end will probably be reached
shortly after noon today. The testimony
for the Government and the defence was
closed yesterday afternoon, and Mr..
Laskey who is associated with Assistant
District Attorney ShilIington in the prose-
cution, made the opening argument for the
Government. The arguments for the de-
fence will be made this morning by War
der Voorhees, and F. S. X. Smith, and M
Shillington will make the closing address
TO the jury for the Government.
AS. at his former trial. the defendant,
Smith. refused to go upon the stand in
his own defence. So far as his testimony
might go to throw new light on the cir
cumstances connected with the commits
sion of the horrible crime of which he is
charged ii is doubtful If any new material
facts would have been revealed. The time
and circumstances connected with the
murder of the jackson woman are com
plete in every detail there being nothing
left for Smith to tell. except the details,
Edmonia S struggles against his brutal as
sault
When the Government announced that
it had closed its case, the defence called
several witnesses for the purpose of prov
ing that Smith was insane shortly after
he had committed the murder. and also
TO SHOW that from his actions at the time
Of his arrest he was OF unsound mind
when he killed the Jackson woman. W.
NJ. Harris. the warden of the jail, and
MIR Ramsdale, who, during the period OF
imprisonment of Edmonia Jackson's hus-
band, was captain OF the watch al the
District jail were called TO testify that
during that time Smith, in company with
Edmonia Jackson, had often visited Jack
son.
1t IS expected that the case will be
given to the jury today.
It was stated yesterday that the en-
paneling of jury TO try Charles Winston
the last of those who were convicted of
murder and granted new trials through
the decision Of the Supreme Court of the
United States. will probably begin on Sat
urday, so that the taking of testimony may
commence Monday morning. AS soon as
the Winston case is disposed Of, the trials
OF the other prisoners in Jail charged with
murder will be begun. 1t is expected that

charged with the murder of Annie Mich

COURTS DECREE REVERSED.
Posey 6. Wilson Forbidden to Ammo!
His Former Wife and Children.

Justice Cox yesterday. sitting in equity.
reversed the decree made by him a few
days ago refusing the petition of Mrs.
Augusta f. Wilson, asking that her former
husband be restrained from annoying her
or interfering with her guardianship of
her children. which were given into her
custody by the decree of divorce obtained
by her some time ago.
The decree. however, allowed the father,
Posey S. Wilson, the privilege OF visiting
the children on Wednesdays and Fridays
Of each week. This agreement was carried
was carried out until a week or so aco,
when Mrs. Wilson petitioned the court TO
restrain her former husband from inter-
fering with and annoying her. she further
alleging that Mr.. Wilson'S treatment of
the children was not conducive TO their
good health.
When the matter came UP for a hearing
in the absence of J. Wilton Lambert.
counsel for Mrs. Wilson, the petition was
refused. Mr.. Lambert opened up the mat
ter yesterday on the filing of his affidavit
that he was absent from the court at the
time the order dismissing the petition was
granted.
After hearing Mr.. Lambert's statement
his motion for the reopening OF the case
was granted, and the order dsmissing the
petition set aside. As a result the petit
ton was later granted restraining the de-
PENDANT, Posey S. Wilson, from further in
terfering with or annoying his former wife
and her children.

Conn issiOners Asked Not to APP

Com III IL toner's Asked Not to APP
prove the Remedial Measure.
John Leetch the general manager OF
the Washington Gas Light Company, Orren
G. Staples, proprietor of the Riggs, Ma
tional and Wizards Hotels, and George A.
Myers. conferred with the District Com
missoners in board session yesterday
morning relative TO House bill 5SS7 for
the prevention Of smoke in the District of
Columbia.
They petitioned the Commissioners to
recommend that the bill be vetoed, or at
least left as it is for the present. The
bill passed the Senate,and the House and
was sent TO the President for his signature
The President referred the measure to the
Commissioners TO ascertain whether they
approved it.
Mr.. Leetch said at the hearing, that the
petitioners desired 10 have the bill held
in allegiance for at least a year, in order
that owners of smaller plants may be af-
forded an opportunity to meet the new
conditions. He explained that the gas
company utilities the residuum from the
gasoline and other oils used in the gas
works. The residuum, he stated, when
first placed in the furnace gives out smoke
constantly and it is customary TO put the
smallest possible quantities in at time.
Captain Beach, District Engineer Com
missioner, thought there was no reason
why boilers cannot be operated without
smoke if they are fed with small guam
titles Of coal at time. He cited as an
illustration. the case of the Muskingum
Valley Railroad Company of Ohio. where
the superintendent of the railroad holds
the fremen strictly accountable in this
regard.
Commissioner Wight stated that many
persons had made Washington a place of
residence because it is so clear from the
annoyance of smoke, but that the growing
use Of soft coal is creating the very condi-
lions which these persons came here TO
avoid. He suggested that it would be
best to let the bill take its course and
trust to the Commissioners to use their
discretion in its enforcement.
Mr.. Staples, who was the last speaker,
said that there are not per cent. of
the business concerns of Washington that
are making l per cent. on their invest
ments and that everything that tended to
embarrass them should be avoided. He said
il is difficult 10 burn pca-coaI OF the an
thracite variety on account of the inability
to get a sufficient draft for furnaces.
The Commissioners closed the hearing
with the decision on their part not to re-
quest veto for the bill.
