for SeNerpi Weeks.


The proceedings in the suit of Mrs. Edith
Allan Crump against her husband, Frank
H. Crump. for divorce. which were begun
yesterday before Justice Cole, will prob
ably occupy the attention of the court for
several days.
The petitioner asks for legal separa-
tion from her husband on the grounds of
cruelty and non-support. The bill for di-
vorce was filed on June 30 last and. aside
from the separation. asked that the court
grant the petitioner the custody of her
children. This the court did, allowing the
defendant the privilege of having the chill
dren visit him on certain days during each
week.
Since the filing of the suit Mrs Crump
has been residing with her parents at the
corner of Eleventh and Q Streets north
west, while her husband lives next door TO
her.
Mrs. Crump is a daughter of General
Edgar Allan. of Richmond. Va, now
United States Attorney for the eastern
district of that StqIe. and her husband. at
the time of the filing Of her petition, last
June, held a lucrative position in the
Southern Railway Company. Since that
time, however. Mr.. Crump has severed his
connection with that corporation.
Mrs Crump alleges that her husband has
treated her with systematic cruelty. begin
ming a short time after her marriage. For
a long time she says she has been in bad
health but that her husband showed her
no attention or consideration and even
went so far as 10 accuse her of shammine
Illness. During her sickness and that OF
her children she states that her father
General Allan, was obliged TO pay the ex-
penses incurred. A great deal of testi-
mony has been taken. in different cities
and States and it is expected that the
hearing viii continue for a week or ter
days.
Mrs. Crump is represented by Messrs
MILAN and Smith and her father, Genera
Allan, and the defendant by Messrs. Ham

POOR RAILWAY FACILITIES.
The Complaint of Tnkomn and
Brigbtwood Citizens.

Representatives of citizens of Takoma
and Brightwood appeared before the Dis
trict Commissioners yesterday in behalf
of better street railway transportation ia
cilities along Brightwood Avenue. In the
delegation were ]. B. Kinnear and w. G.
Platt, of the Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation; William Mckay Clayton and w.
F. Walsmith, of the Brightwood Park Cit
liens Association, and Wilton J. Lambert,
of the Brightwood Avenue Association.
As chairman of the delegation Mr.. Lam
bert was the first speaker. He reviewed
the history of the railway company and
enumerated the various causes for COM
plant regarding poor facilities.
Captain Beach interrupted the speaker
and called attention to the fact that the
railway had recently changed ownership,
and that it would be more important to
note the defects under the new manage
ment.
Continuing, Mr.. Lambert said that under
the old management patrons were on y
forced to wait from fifteen to twenty min
utes for car but that under the new
management they were compelled to wa
at times as long as an hour and hali.
He also called attention to the inconven-
fence of crowds waiting at Seventh and
the Boundary on account of the Irregular
ity and infrequency of the cars.
Mr. Lambert said that under present
conditions the rate of speed of the cars
was dangerous and that this, added to the
poor road equipment, increased the risks
of the public. He also said that salaries
had been reduced and that many of the
best employees had left, making it neces-
sary that inexperienced men and new
hands be secured.
MIR. Kinnear said that the company
should be required TO secure the lives OF
its passengers. He failed to see why the
old management, with the same number OF
cars and practically the same men, could
operate the road TO so much better satis-
faction than the new management. He
asserted that the company had stable
full of summer cars without motors.
Mr.. Clayton said that unless something
was done to improve matters there would
be terrible accident on the road. He
stated that the old management kept from
twenty TO thirty men working at all times
but that he had seen no men working as
repair hands under the new management
He also complained of long waits for cars
at Seventh and the Boundary.
At the close of the hearing the Commits
sioners promised to look into the matter
and to have their engineers undertake 1
through investigation. They then tool
the question under adyisement.

Man Who Never Slept.

millionaire Edward Balm, President
of the Balm Wagon Company, whose
death was annonnced the other day at
Kenosha, Wis, was familiarly known
as the man who never slept" and it is
doubtful if another case like his exists.
It is virtually fact that for the last
16 wears he did not sleep for an hour
in his bed. Constant devotion to busi-
ness was the cause Of his sleeplessness,
he having been known to remain in
his factory up to is years ago as late
as four and ave O'Clock in the NOM
ing. and when he would seek rest he
found it impossible to sleep. AT that
time he practically relieved himself Of
business cares.
For the greater part of the past ten
wears it was his custom to take daily
trips to Chicago to pass time away
in street-car riding and driving dur
ing the day, and at night he was al
ways to be found either at a. theater
or billiard hall, which We're the only
places he was able to get short rap,
the music at the theatres and the click
ing Of billiard balls alone affording him
short spells Of repose.
