of the Day.

John Barton, one of the jurors on the
panel that is trying the burglary case
against Henry Smith in Judge Estele's

Jurors in idleness and anxiety, and when he
finally appeared he was commanded to give
an explanation to the Judge
Barton said he had been detained by bust
ness affairs that called for his personal at
tention. That's no excuse" said Judge
Estelle, "and II it were not for the fact
that this is Lincoln's birthday and I'm in
an unusually good humor. would punish
you for putting your private business be-
fore your public duties"

CATTLE-There was the largest run Of
time past. The demand on the part or
packers was In good shape and as result
values on good stuff did not show much
change.
There were about sixty cars of steers in
cluded In the receipts and packers started
out and bought up the more desirable
punches at just about yesterdays prices.
Owing TO the liberal receipts they rather
neglected the common kinds and hall
stuff and sellers who had that kind OF
and a little dun. Feeder buyers were not
after sthe warmed-up cattle, which also
tended to make that class of cattle sell
lower.
About fifty cars would cover the receipts
of cows today At the start the market
seemed anxious for the better grades, but,
the same as In the case OF steers, the
common and medium kinds were hard to
move. Later In the morning, after pack
ers had filed their more urgent orders, they
wanted to buy their supplies lower and sell
ers who had anything but the very choicest
kinds found they had to take off DC and
sometimes 1OC before they could dispose Of
them. Gamers did not show so much
change, as the greatest decline was on the
medium grades.
Calves brought just about steady prices
today, but the tendency was to buy bulls
q little lower, the same as was the case
with cows.
Feeder buyers did not take hold with
much life today. as they have quite few

HER SANITY QUESTIONED.
Severe Illness Thought to Have AT.
fected Miss Bonnett,s Mind

Sanitary Officer Frank. of the Police
Department, took steps yesterday after
noon to place Miss Johannah Bennett,
aged twenty-five years, at St Elizabeth's
Asylum for the Insane. This action re-
suited from a request by relatives of the
young woman, who was found wandering
in the woods north of the city Friday
night by the police. 1t is probable Miss
Bonnet will be taken to the asylum this
morning.
Early Friday morning Miss Bennett dis
appeared from her home 100 California
Street northeast, and it was late at
night before she was located and returned
to friends. Karl Bonnet, brother of the
young woman. spent most of Friday in
quest of her and notified the police of her
disappearance. Some months ago, 1t ap-
PEARS, Miss Bennett suffered an attack
of typhoid fever. She was Ill a long time
and her mind, relatives say. has never
recovered entirely from the strain of the
disease.
Mr. Bennett and his sister have been in
the city over three years. An uncle lives
at Berwyn. Md, and it is thought Miss
Bennett was making her way as best she
could toward his home when she was
found. 1t is understood the young woman
was yesterday examined by two physi-
clans as to her mental condition. When
she disappeared she left brief note in
her room This note was written in PEN
ell and was to the effect that she was
tired of troubling her relatives. 1t is in
timated also in the note that Miss Bon
nett had in mind the alternative of end
by the young woman, however, so far as

A CRITICISM OF THE CODE.
An Attorney Cites Examples of Pro.
posed Changes In Punishments.

In discusssing the work of the Legisla-
tive Committee of the Washington Bar
Association in connection with the revi-
sion of the code of laws for the govern
ment of the District. prominent member
of the local bar said yesterday:
Or. hewitt. the Coroner, officially re-
commends that the office he holds be
abolished, and the United States Attor-
ney concurs. DR.. Woodward made a SIM
liar recommendation when he was Coro-
ner, and the then United States Attorney
concurred. Yet the so-called new code,
which makes pretence of being up to date,
retains the Office of Coroner, and leaves it
without any legislation which enables 1t
to act or proceed except in the way pro-
vided by a supposed English statute six
and one-quarter centuries old. / have
expressly requested change and have
submitted suggestions in writing on the
subject. so that 1t cannot be said the
Legislative Committee OF the lawyers
having the code in charge have overlook
ed this matter, OF left 1t unchanged for
want of interest.
1T is the same with the Register of
Wills an officer whose official duties are
not known by anyone, and not provided
by law. ]. Nota McGill. when Register
OF Wills, officially recommended that his
Office be abolished. The so-called new
code perpetuates this officer and office.
1T In noticeable that the new code
seems to have omitted legislation on moral
lines, or along the lines of Furnishing Of
fences against morality. Provision is
made reducing the penalty in adultery
from penitentiary to Jail and reducing
the time to one-third what was formerly
provided by law. No provision of law is
found in the code to punish abortion or
make 1t any offence and the same is true
of abandoning a child. and other similar
offences. These matters have been sug-
gested to the Legislative Committee of
lawyers, and have been knowingly and
designedly omitted.
1t ought to he said that the penalty for
petty larceny has been increased six
fold by the new code, and persons who
are charged with stealing bread or chick
ems can now be more severely punished.
The code also provides that the offence
of forging to the extent OF 81 may be
punished as severely as forging 1,Q00000."

the next morning. When that time came.
Mr. Shepard said, the committee that
had previously counted the money made
a recount, which is customary, before the
money was listed in the books of the
Office ...--.-,

posed to do about IT. And on Tuesday
was served with notice to appear before

ance of the $3.50. This money, l want to
say, passed through the hands of two
other clerks besides myself How the
money disappeared or who took it / do

Mr.. Shepard has many warm friends in
the department, not one of whom be-
lieves him guilty of the allegation. They
say he is the victim of unusual circum-
stances. Mr. Shepard. 1t is said. has held
a number of important financial positions
connected with railroads, and his honor
and integrity have never been questioned
