a HABEAs CORPUS PETITION.
Charged With Violating Pension
Laws, Thomson Seeks ReIeose

A petition for a writ of habeas corpus
was filed yesterday in the Supreme Court
of the District by Robert NJ Thompson,
who Is In the custody of the United States
Marshal for the District, held on charge
OF violation of the United States pension
laws Thompson, who is about sixty-five
years of age, was arrested nearly three
months ago. At the time, however, he
was confined to his home by illness and
the prosecution against him was not
forced. He is charged with holding 81 900
allowed to Thomas J. Mccall as pension
claim.
1t is alleged In the petition for 4 writ
of habeas corpus that Thompson was ar
rested on this charge in May, 1883, in the
District, on warrant issued by Judge
Ell Shelby, of the District Court Of the
United States for the Western District of
Tennessee. At that time Thompson filed
an application for writ of habeas cor
pus, in the Supreme Court of the District,
and upon hearing the writ was allowed
by Justice Montgomery.
About three months ago Thompson was
again arrested on the same charge, at the
instance of the Tennessee authorities, but
on account of his Illness the matter was
not brought to a hearing. Yesterday
Thompson made application to Justice
Bradley for a writ of habeas corpus, and
he ordered the petition to be filed In forma
pauperis.

SHARP DECLINE IN BONDS.
A Heavy Selling of Traction seeuri-
ties on Basis of a Rumor.


The sharp break In the price of Wash
ington Traction and Electric bonds be-
gun last week on the LEGAL exchange was
continued yesterday, the level receding
under heavy selling from 65 to 63 and a
fraction. There was one heavy order to
sell the bonds, apparently from out Of
town, and in addition number Of smaller
orders were executed for people who were
frightened by the decline into disposing
Of their holdings. Some short selling was
also to be traced. In all something Ike
sSe.00e of the bonds were sold The price
reached was the lowest for several
months, and represents a break of seven
points in the last two weeks.
A rumor has been floating in the street
fer day or two that the Washington
Traction Company will fail TO pay the
semi-annual install:nent of interest on
June L Yesterday the rumor was per
eistent in several quarters, but could not
be traced to any authoritative source. On
the other hand local officers of the COM
pany were quoted as denying that there
viii be any default of payment. It is in
teresting to point out that the same
runcr was heard with the same persist
ency six months ago. and that the in
terest was paid at that time quite as If
there had been no question Of IL at any
time
Some people incline to the theory that
the break in the price has been engineered
by professional traders in the bonds In
the same way the offer made on the local
exchange last Saturday TO sell their in
terest for instead OF ~ is traced by
some street people TO a desire to cause
a slump for the purpose Of buying the
bonds cheap.
After the meeting Of the board yesteF-
DAY there were several orders on the
market 20 purchase the bonds at the lower
prices. but. il is said, they could not be
filed.

Instead of oil, pour into it car

you can read and you can enter

being trapped sunlight. Throws
off no heat to speak of it.
