EXCITING SCENE IN COURT.
Insane Man Acquitted of Crime-Win
Go to Asylum.

Insane Man Acquitted of Crime-WtIl
Go to Asylum.
There was a most exciting scene in Grim
inal Court No this morning. when Albert
Moore alias John Moore, young white
man. was put on trial for the second Of
Tense of larceny. Moore was arrested about
two months ago on the charge of stealing
a watch from a man living near Benning.
having once before been convicted in the
Police Court on a similar charge. Shortly
after being taken to the jail Moore showed
signs of insanity, and recently jumped over
a railing to the floor below, breaking his
shoulder blade.
Clabaugh this morning Moore was brought
into court with his arm IN a sling tightly
bound to his body. AS be came up the
steps from the cells below he let out
number of blood-curdling whoops and yells
and acted like a violent maniac. No sooner
had he appeared before the Judge than he
began to struggle with the court officers,
and it took no less than five stalwart bail
IFS and policemen to put him on the floor.
There he groveled and struggled like wild
beast. The fact that Moore Is a slender
fellow, weighing not over 14O pounds, made
his display of strength all the more remark
able. At times it was all that five and
sometimes six men could do to keep him
lying quiet
The scene was a most distressing one,
Moore showing no appreciation Of his posi-
ton, but grooming or whoopfng almost con-
stantly. Justice Clabaugh. being anxious to
get the affair over as quickly as possible,
ordered 1t to proceed without any delay.
Only enough testimony was adduced to
show that the defendant was undoubtedly
guilty of the charge and then DR.. D. K.
Shute, the physician at the Jail, testified to
his mental condition at the time the offense
was committed AS to the mans present
condition, the jury had seen enough for
themselves.
Justice Clabaugh then directed the Jury
to bring in verdict of not guilty on ac-
count of insanity, and this they did without
leaving their seats. The poor fellow was
then removed from the court room to await
his commitment to st. Elizabeth sHospital
for the Insane.

Provision of Law Quoted.


In this connection. Mr.. Mcfarland called
attention to a provision in the act of June
g. 1896, wherein 1t Is provided that If 1t
shall appear that such deviation from the
above-named standards could not have been
prevented by ordinary care and prudence,
but was occasioned by some unavoidable
causes. then the penalty shall not be en-
against the gas company Mr.. Mcfarland
thinks It may have been this provision
which prevented an enforcement of the PEN
atty The inspector, however, failed to in
form him in that respect. This provision,
it is said, was inserted in the act through
efforts or at the request of the Washington
Gas Light Company.
I'VE have" said Mr.. Mcfarland, mo in
spector available to investigate complaints
against the gas companies, and we must
therefore rely to very great extent, if not
wholly, upon the good faith and intentions
of the companies in remedying the evils
complained of. 1t would seem that add-
tional inspectors are necessary, and that
the present law needs amending or enlarge
ment. l propose to discuss the situation
with my associates. and am hopeful that
we may be able to devise some plan of re-
assured of one thing, and that is that we
will endeavor TO do all We possibly can in
securing them better gas and higher pres
sure. Unfortunately, we cannot afford
much relief to the people of Mount Pleas
ant and that vicinity until the matter of
extension Of streets is finally determined.
as we cannot, of course, authorize the gas
company to lay the additional mains which
seem necessary through private property"

No officer Available.


After his conference with DR.. Ford, Com
missioner mcfarland stated to reporter
of The Star that it seems to him there Is
no employee or official of the District avail
able to investigate complaints made to the
Commissioners regarding gas. The In
spector and his two assistants, he added,
appear to have about all they can possibly
law. The practice of the inspector Is. there
fore to refer all complaints Immediately to
the gas company complained OF. whenever
this is DONE so DR.. Ford informed Mr.. Mac
farland, the. company involved at once in
vestigates the complaint, and Immediately,
the inspector further stated. remed1>s the
evil, provided it is one which can be rem
edied.
DR.. Ford also informed the Commissioner
that there is an Inevitable difference in gas
manufactured at the different stations, but
that he (Ford) is confident this difference
Is one which cannot be cured, it being his
opinion that 1t Is impossible to manufac-
ture gas Of the same quality and obtain the
same power at the different stations. Re
ferring to the napthaline which, he says
obstructs the inlets and outlets of meters,
DR.. Ford stated to Mr.. Macfarland that 1t
is due to no fault of the gas companies, but
Is an evil which cannot well be avoided, es-
pecially he added, during the fall months.
Because of the great difficulty in manu-
featuring gas of the required quality and
power at the different stations day after
day, the inspector explained that some toll
erance is given the companies in the mat
made to impose the penalty provided for by
law and in that case the District was de-
feated, because, he thought Of some defect
in the law.

QUALITY OF ILLUMINANT
CONFERENCE OVER COMPLAINTS RE-
sPECTING GAS SUPPLY.
Report Submitted to missioners
by the United States Inspector
Difference in Product.

District Commissioner Macfarland today
had conference with DIR. S. Calvert Ford
United States inspector of gas and meters
for the purpose Of discussing the complaints
which have been made recently to the
Commissioners respecting the poor quality
and power of the gas furnished consumers
by the Washington Gas Light Company.
The inspector informed Mr.. mcfarland
that the duties of the inspector of gas and
meters, as laid down by the act of Con-
gress approved June %, 1874, are that he
shall test and determine the illuminating
power and purity OF the gas furnished by
the two gas companies of the District, and
test, prove and seal all meters that may
be used by them. DIR. Ford stated that the
making of the tests for the illuminating
power and purity in the four laboratories
takes all his time from o'clock am. to g
O'Clock pm. daily. He also stated that his
two assistants are kept constantly en-
ployed testing and sealing meters for the
two companies and meters complained of by
consumers.
Report Submitted.
DR.. Ford submitted to the Commissioner
the following report made to him by one
Of his assistant inspectors, Mr.. Bernard
Waters as the result of an investigation
of complaint made several days ago by
Mr.. Alfred L. Leonard of 1917 18th street:
According to your directions. l visited
Mount Pleasant on Saturday, the 2Ith in
slant, at 10 o'clock am, to make a test of
the pressure of the gas. etc. on the premi-
ses of Mr.. Alfred l.. Leonard, 1917 18th
street. to find out the cause of complaint
of himself and others in that locality. MIR.
Leonard's house being closed at that hour
I made a test for pressure in the adjoining
residence occupied by Mr.. Charles Thorn
son, and the gauge showed a pressure of
II at point of ignition. On Park street,
which is much higher / found is pressure
I called at Mr.. I,eonards at o'clock pm
and found that the gas, when first lighted,
was fairly good. but at Mr.. Leonards re-
quest l remained for perhaps an hour. and
during that time it went almost entirely
out, the pressure gauge showing only j
pressure, with all burners turned off but
one, this being a six-foot burner. ! placed
my pocket meter on 1t and the indicator
showed a consumption of two feet per
hour Mr. Leonard informs me that later
in the night he has a good flow of gas.
This shows beyond a doubt that the cause
of complaints of poor gas in this locality is
the fact Of a larger consumption on the
higher level Of Mount Pleasant, which
takes away the pressure from all consumers
north of Howard avenue to Piney branch,
which is much lower territory. If main
Is laid out there. 1t will, no doubt, remedy
the evil. Under the present conditions
think there can be very little relief rem
dered especially to consumers on 10th and
18th streets extended

LIFE SAVING STATION.


One Is Being Erected by United
States Government.
Work was recently begun on the
United States life saving station upon
the grounds of the Pan-American EX-
position at Buffalo, N. Y. The site of
the station is on the north side Of the
lake in Delaware park, in one Of the
most beautiful portions of the Ex-
position grounds.
The life saving station will be fully
equipped with apparatus and men and
will be a most attractive as we'll as
novel exhibit. Life saving exhibitions
will be given every day during the
progress of the Exposition. The appa-
ratus in use by the government for
this purpose will be shown and crew
of ten picked men will be employed in
giving the exhibitions. The station is
to be modelled after one of the regular
stations along the coast of the United
States

fountains. canals and lakes, which will
be bordered with plants and flowers Of
all kinds and descriptions. While there
will be charming scenery of this char
acter in all portions of the grounds, an
especial effort will be made to embel-
lish the southern portion, adjoining
Delaware park, at the entrance to that
part of the grounds where the main
Exposition buildings are situated. On
both sides of the splendid Triumphal
Bridge at this point will be two arti-
fetal pools called the Mirror Lakes,
connecting with the Grand Canal,
which encircles the grounds. The
slopes of these lakes and the whole vi
cinity will be adorned with a magnifi-
cent outdoor exhibit of Towering plants
set in the midst Of shrubbery and trees
in such a way as most to enhance the
beautiful effect. There will be large
display of rare water plants, including
the Nilumbiums and the wonderful
Victoria Regia, or Amazon Lily, and
many Nymphaas not before exhibited.
Applications for space for exhibits on
the grounds and in the special building
to be devoted to horticulture are COM
ing from florists all over the country,
and the expressed desire of the culti-
vators of flowers and plants to be rep
resented at the Pan-American insures
an extensive exhibition of these beau
tiful products Of nature.

MACHINERY AND TRANSPORTATION BUILDING
the east end west sides are massive
domes. Two very tall towers rise above
both the north and south entrances
and help to complete two wonderful
architectural compositions. Imagine,
if you can, the delicate and beautiful
character of this unique work. Some
one has said it reminded the observer
of a skillful confectioner's best
many times exaggerated. The compari-
son is not inappropriate perhaps, for
the Exposition celebrates a closer un-
ion of the several Americas, and IN the
original white the wonderful compo-
sitions of staff which crown these tow
ers possessed the apparent delicacy Of
one of these marvellous creations of
the confectioner.
But color has been added, and the
white has disappeared. The likeness
is no longer there. The brilliant colors
that the Moors loved SO steadfastly
hundreds of years ago in Granada and
Andalusia have been revived, better
than the originals. The majestic col
umns and fancy pillars look like carv-
ed ivory. The arabesques have a
background of brilliant shades, such
as yellows, pinks and reds of varying
degrees of brightness. The round
domes have bands of green and other
shades. The roofs are all of red tile
The broad caves are upheld by sub
e,ta atAtf fnl hun nn1v otto, f1af III
wood carved in intricate design. The
lofty towers present a radiance of
blues, reds and gold. Medallions of
Ericsson and other famous men who
have given the world wonderful ma
chinery are surrounded with a glow of
color.
Difficult or impossible as it may seem
to the reader to employ brilliant colors
30 freely upon great building such as
this without destroying it's grandeur
and cheapening its appearance, the
problem has been mugniiicently work
ed out, and the effect is not merely
pleasing and harmonious, but the work
is an artistic triumph that every person
from far and near win delight to see
The wonderful harmony of the many
colors that have been used is at once
observed, and there is no one feature
of the Exposition that has aroused
more popular interest than the great
color scheme. With the 20 or more
other big buildings all aglow with col
or and adorned with richly nodded
plastic. work, the effect will be a pro-
found surprise to those who have visit
ed other Expositions.
