The first paper Of the evening was pre-
sented by Mr. John Ball Osborne, who
sketched In an attractive manner the in
terest manifested by the first president Of
the United States in this city. The close
supervision given by Washington to even
the details Of the city's affairs was skill
fully brought out through citations from
the letters and diaries of General Wash
iHgton. Some new facts were thus ELECTED.
and the paper was followed with close at
tention by the audience
Down on the Navy Yard.
In pleasant, cosby style Mr.. Madison
Davis. the author of the next paper which
was read by the secretary, chatted about
the Navy Yard section Of the city during
the lifetime of Rev. William Ryland. He
described some Of the houses which are IA
nous in that historic locality, and told

The strong personality Of Rev. William Ry-
land, one Of the leading Methodist minis
tiers Of his day. was graphically portrayed

ger Church in 1927. and was born in ITO
and died in 1916 at his residence on 9Th

Houses With Histories.
Mr.. Davis spoke Of an interesting old
house which stands at the foot of Sd street
east 1t was built, he said, and occupied
by Captain Coomes, a wealthy merchant
Tradition has it that Washington visited
there, and certainly, said the writer, both
Jefferson and Madison enjoyed its hospi-
talities.
Mr.. Davis also spoke OF the Interesting
building occupied for many years by Naval
Ledge Of Masons. 1t stands at the corner
of Virginia avenue and 9th street southeast
In the lower part Of this building a school
was conducted by ]. L. Henshaw, who mar
ried a widow Mrs. hewitt. The latter was
the mother of the late Mrs. E. D. E. N
Southworth, the well-known authoress
Mr.. Davis mentioned other old houses in
that section, and gave a picture of the
general locality, which, he said, in the early
days had much the character Of an English
village.

Exciting Episode in a Trial in
Judge Kinks Court.
ATTORNEYS CLASH
And Judge Kirk Assesses
Fines for Contempt

An exciting episode Of a few seconds
duration took placs IN Judge Kinks
court, the city court. yesterday afternoon
Two attorneys, Mr. sam B. Amidon and
Judge James Ray engaged in a scene
which resulted in a fine Of s. from the
one and SO from the other for contempt
Of court
The attorneys had been wrangling since
Tuesday afternoon over one point or an
other of law in the case Of the Equitable
Mutual Hail Insurance company Of kan
sas City. Kansas, against Henry Hen
ming. The action is test suit brought
to- recover upon a note given by the de-
fendant for an insurance policy. Some
eighteen other cases depend upon the
outcome Of the present suit.
The attorneys for both sides are fight
Ing every inch of ground and at times
are not sparing in their language to-
wards each other. Judge Ray repre-
sents the plaintiff, while Messrs. Amidon
& Comfy are looking after the interests
of Henning.
and early Wednesday morning the hear
ing of the testimony began.
Along in the afternoon q point Of law
was raised as to whether or not @ note
could be held valid which had been signei
In blank. A further contention was re-
lative to the afIixing of a war revenue
stamp and whether a note without such
a stamp could be held valid in law. The
nature Of the subject was sucn that
Judge Kirk excused the jury until the
attorneys had finished their arguments.
After discussing the points in coutro-
versy, Judge Ray charged Mr. Amidon
with having filed the bill of particulars
for the defense after the trial had COM
menced Wednesday morning. you know
that is not true judge" remarked Mr..
Amidon. Il reiterated that it is true"
retorted Judge Ray. You're a liar 81 you

into his trousers and extracted a pen

the hand and-"that viii cost you SO,

This remark from Judge Kirk stopped
the scene. They at once apologized to
the court for their conduct.
The fines were RENTED.
The affairs had transplred in such a
