SUSPECTED OF ARSON.
Miss Lucy Hutchinson Arrested, But
subsequently Released.

As the result OF fire at her home, 9Os
Twelfth Street northwest, at an early hour
yesterday morning, Miss Lucy Hutchinson,
a dressmaker, thirty seven years old, was
arrested by Policeman Emmert of the
First precinct, on suspicion of having COM
mitted arson, Subsequently the woman
was released after explaining the circum-
stances of the blaze in a satisfactory man
ner. She remained at the station until
a late hour yesterday evening, when she
was cared for by friends.
The fire which caused the arrest of Miss
Hutchinson did damage TO the extent of
about $50. fully covered by insurance. 1t
originated from a leaky gasoline stove,
which appears to have overfiowed while
being filled. When the match was applied
TO the burner the entire stove was so
covered with the infiammable fluid that it
was almost instantly enveloped in flame.
Miss Hutchinson was slightly injured in
attempting to extinguish the flames before
the Fire Department arrived. The alarm
for the fire was turned in from box No. 1877.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
The Docket Cleared of Two Hundred
Cases in One Day.

The Supreme Court has established a
record in the matter of cases disposed of,
2O4 going off the docket as the result of
judgments entered at yesterdays session.
OF these 164 were Indian citizenship cases,
coming in appeal from the courts of In
dian Territory. These were all affirmed.
Justices Peckham and White announced
opinions in thirty-sx bank tax cases from
Kentucky. The principal point in most OF
these cases was the validity of an agree
ment or stipulation made by the city attor-
ney of Louisville, by which the fate of a
claim for taxation was to be settled by the
decision in one case 10 be fought out In
the courts This stipulation, the Supreme
Court said. was beyond the power of the
attorney TO make, and therefore the plea
of res adjudicata made In respect 10 the
other cases was not well founded. Justices
Harlan and White dissented, holding that
the stipulation could have been legally
made. A number of other Kentucky bank
tax cases were disposed of, conformably
10 opinions in like cases previously rem
dered.
An important question was settled in the
decision of the case of the First National
Bank of Concord New Hampshire, versus
Edward Hawkins, receiver of the Indian
apolis National Bank. announced by JUS
tice Shiras. The court said that the cap
ital CT one national bank could not le-
gally be invested in the stock of another
national bank, and that II it had been so
invested By the directors. the stockhold-
ers were not stopped by that fact from set
ting up the want of power OF the directors
when the Comptroller of the Currency as
sessed the stock of the ether bank in ques-
tion, it having failed.
The directors of the Louisville, New Al
bany and Chicago Railway Company, an
Indiana corporation, desiring TO secure a
southern connection, guaranteed the pay
ment of the bonds issued by a Kentucky
corporation. the proceeds Of which were to
be used in constituting road as desired.
This action of the directors was irregular
and unauthorized under the Indiana law,
and it was repudiated, and the obligation
created thereby denied by the stockhold-
ers al their first subsequent meeting. In
the interval, certain of the guaranteed
bonds passed into the possession of third
parties, who purchased in good faith.
AS TO these holders, the Supreme Court
said. speaking through Justice Gray. the
bonds were a valid obligation against the
railway company.
The court took recess until Monday.

the term.

BRUSSELS AND TAPESTRY.
The Difference Between These Two Kinds
of Carpets Explained.

By placing. brussels and tapestry
carpet side by side 4 clearncss and
| sharpness are noticed about the brussels
| carpet which are absent from tho tapes
try. In the latter there is a mistiness
about the colors, and the pattern lacks
that sharpness and delicacy which char
| acterize the former. This is due to the
process of manufacture. = brussels is 4
yarn dyed, and tapestry may be de-
scribcd as printed fabric but the print
ing is done upon the yarn before the
process of weaving
The whole method OF manufacture is
most ingenious. In the making of a five
frame brussels no fewer than /, $50 ends
of face yarns are required for the wcav-
ing of one piece of standard quality,
each frame consisting of $50 bobbins,
and $50 ends only can come to the face
at each pick of the pattern. Therefore
1924 ends of yarn are hidden in the
body of the fabric. There are many
qualities of tapestry, but in the produc-
tion of the standard quality only 216
ends of face yarn are required, instead
of !, ESQ, which shows at once that tho
brussels carpet has the great advantage
of being thicker, softer and altogether n
more durable cloth apart from other ad-
vantages which it possesses. There is a
limitation III the number of colors used
in Il brussels. In tapestry there is no
limit. In the brussels the whole of tho
Colors used show n more or less striped
appearance at the back of tho fabric
III tapestry they do not show at tho
back at all. This fact is made use of by
householders i'll purchasing carpets, this
being about the only way the average
person can tell the difference between
them. In order to pass off tapestry as
brussels some ingenious makers have
resorted to the stripping in regular
manner of the backs of the former. The
stripy effect in the latter is broken and
irregular. y casual observation of the
clearly defined character of brussels
pattern should enable buyer to distin-
guish between the two fabrics. Fur
