A QUESTION OF DISTANCE.
4 Complicated Case Brought Up BE
fore Justice Cole.

4 Complicated Case Brought Up Be
fore Justice Cole.
The question of the proper method Of de-
termining the distance between two given
points. from a legal view, came up for
consideration Saturday before Justice Cole
sitting for Circuit Court business. The
matter which the contestants in court
wished to have settled was, which is tne
nearer to the office Of Arson S Taylor. a
justice Of the peace. at 1912 F Street: S
Herbert Giesy, a justice of the peace,
whose Office is at 9lS f Street, or Sautnsl
K. Church, another justice, whose office il
located at 925 F Street.
The question came up on the hearing for
a petition for writ Of certlorari filed By
the defendant in a landlord and tenant pNo-
ceeding, Instituted before Justice Taylor
When the suit was Instituted the defendant
applied for a change OF venue. and Justice
Taylor unhestatingly certified the case 10
Justice Church. Objection was raised to
this on the ground that the change was
not in compliance with the letter OF the
law. which requires that in such cases the
certiicatOn must be to the next near
est" justice of the peace.
In order that the court might be fully
Informed as to the actual facts in the
case, the services OF civil engineer were
secured and the distances between the
Office OF Justice Taylor and the Offices Of
the other two justices. we're accurately
ascertained. By actual measurement it
was found that the Office Of Justice Giesy
at 9lS F Street, is 900 feet along the
building line from the office Of Justice
Taylor In determining the distance Of
the Office of Justice Church from that
Of Justice Taylor. two measurements were
taken. These measurements show that
the distance measured diagonally is 9S2
feet while by the way Of customary travel.
that is along the south side Of Stree.
to a point opposite Justice Church's office
and then directly across the street. the
distance is 1917 feet. So il is that on
diagonal measurement Justice 0f the Peace
Church is nearer Justice Taylor than jus
tice Giesy by IS feet, while along the
building line. or walk Of common travel,
he is seven feet further away
II was this condition OF affairs whirh
determined the defendant in the landlord
and tenant proceeding to submit the mat
ter to Justice Cole to decide which Of the
justices Of the peace has jurisdiction in the
case.
Justice Cole. however. did not entertain
the matter on the question Of the dis
tauces between the different Offices. but
qUashGd the petition for certiOrari. on the
ground that the case could only be enter
tanned on appeal from the justice to which
it had been certified, because of alleged
want Of jurisdiction.

THE EcUMEN1cAL CONFERENCE.
Rev. Charles s. StHIleIy breaches of
Its object and Effect

At the First Baptist Church. Sixteenth
and o Streets, Rev. Charles A Stakely
preached an interesting sermon yesterday
TO large audience. The text was taken
from the thirteenth chapter Of Luke.
twenty-uinth verse: And there shall come
from the east and from the west. from the
north and from the south. and shall sit
down in the Kingdom Of God" The dis
course was mainly upon the features and
the work Of the Ecumenical Conference,
recently held in New York, 10 which the
speaker was a delegate.
He spoke Of the wonderful object Of the
meeting Of its purpose 10 bring together
in one city and in one auditorium people
from every part Of the known world.
bound together by one tie. the desire 10
fulfill the command OF Christ, to spread
the Christian doctrine throughout the
world. to the heather as well as TO the
civilized. He dwelt upon the picturesque
features Of the gathering; on the strange
interest taken in its proceedings by per
sons Of every stage in life. OF the subtle
influence welded by the body aud the
curious delegates which made parts OF il.
Then the force Of its meaning was i'm
pressed upon the congregation. That such
an assembly was possible signifed the
coming Of the universal domination OF
Christianity. Dr. Stakety called attention
TO the rapid growth, in only few years.
OF the idea OF the unity OF races He
spoke Of the hope for the future that was
embodied in the numbers Of young people
who we're interested in foreign lands IN
doing missionary work. Christianity had
already become a part OF the history OF
every nation on the globe. and the outlook
Tor the coming century, compared with and
IN view OF the work performed and the
results accomplished In the past was
something grand Christian people had
never before been so close together. and
this feeling would increase and strengthen
4 spirit OF unity held all modern churches
regardless Of creed.
The labors Of the various young peoples
societies were wonderful The speaker did
not believe in a church for young people
managed by young people alone. neither
did he care for a church that was wholly
dominated by the older and more con
servatiye members. One meant as much
10 him az the other: the old and the young
should work together in harmony. But
those In the audience who had seen fifty
Eve or sixty years could remember the
time when there was a feeling that the
young and the women should be excluded
from the church work. That period had
passed. and that il was well that II had
was shown by the sums raised by the
women's auxiliary societies and by the or
CARNATIONS Of the younger members OF
the fold. The young are to do the work of
the church In the opening quarter Of the
next century, and that they would do Ii
well was already manifest.

increasing in numbers and in efficiency

actress" resulted last evening in an ex-
PLANTATION on the minister's part.
Dr. Easton has refralned from discuss
ing the matter since the suit was brought.
but in view Of the circumstances it was
expected that some reference to il would
be made by him yesterday. Accordingly,
the church services in the morning and IN
the evening were well attended and many
in the audience expected to hear the min
ister's version Of the case They were dis
appointed at the morning service, for in
stead Of an apology or explanation, the
entire time was taken up with a mis-
sionary address. In the evening. however
the explanation was forthcoming. There
was no reference to the case during the
sermon, nor before the final prayer After
the prayer, however, DR.. Easton stepped
forward and read from a brief written
statement. He said:
Il desire to make an explanatory state
ment regarding the discourse delivered

and of Impure Literature which has led 10
legal proceedings brought against me fer

This statement is meant TO be as pub

Further than this l shall have nothing TO
say"
At the conclusion Of the service two or
three persons In the audience came for
ward and shook DR.. Easton's hand. He de-
clined to talk TO reporters.
