Mrs. j. u. Deikman. of 9i3 J. Street
northwest. reported to Policeman McCort.
Of the Second precinct about o'clock
last night that her house had been en-
tered by thieves. She stated that she had
been absent from her home for a short
time and upon her return heard a noise
while ascending the stairs as though some
person was running across the floor. Has
teuing up stairs Mrs Deikman says she

drawer, where it had been placed by her
husband. 4 jimmy or some other sharp
instrument had been used To open the
bureau drawers.
Bicycle Policemen -AicGrath and Van
Horn were Immediately despatched to the
Deikman. residence by Sergeant Duvall
and made a thorough examination of the
dwelling and all alleys in that vicinity.
but could obtain ne information regard
ing the matter. The police are of the
opinion that the robbery is the work of
some person who knew the place.
In order to gain entE nee the burglar
took ladder from one Of the back yards
in the vicinity and placed Ii against the
shed in the rear OF the house. IL is thought
that the sudden appearance OF Mrs. Deik-
man startled him so that in running

FALK'S APPEAL REFUSED.
The United States Supreme Court
Sustains Judge Cole.

The Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday affirmed the Judgment of the
Supreme Court of the District in the case
of Maxilimllian w. Falk, who was con-
victed of violation of the Edmunds act in
January, 1899. and was sentenced to. inn
prisonment. in the penitentiary for a pc
riod Of six months.
During his trial in Crimina. Court No.
Falk created a sensation by jumping
his bail the night of the first day of the
proceedings. The testimony w6sS very
strong against him and he showed great
deal of uneasiness during the dag. ON
the morning following Charles Bendheim,
his counsel. stated that an hour before
court convened he received note from
Falk stating that he would not appear
that. day for trial. Justice Cole, who was
on the bench. ordered the trial to be pro-
ceeded with and Mr.. Bendheim asked the
permission of the court to withdraw as
counsel for the defendant The request
was granted and the taking of testimony
continued. The case was submitted to the
jury and verdict of guilty WIS returned
against the absent defendant.
Some days afterward Falk's wife en-
ployed other counsel and a motion for
new trial and arrest of Judgment was
filed, on the ground that Falk had been
convicted in his absence. The motion was
overruled by Justice Cole and an appeal
WIS taken to the Court of Appeals for
the District After argument by District
Attorney Anderson and Assistant District
Attorney Gould for the Government and
Messrs Padgett & Forrest for the de-
fepdant the Court of Appeals affirmed the
Judgment of the trial court.
An appeal was then taken to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, raising
the question of the Jurisdiction of the
local court. the contention being that
the Edmunds act WIS not in force in the
District of Columbia This appeal was
dismissed by the Supreme Court of the
United States and then the case was
again taken up on petition asking that
a writ of certiorari be issued compelling
the lower court to send up transcript
of the record in the case. This petition
| was also denied.
At the time Falk was indicted by the
grand jury of the District he conducted a
confectionery business on Eleventh
Street, between e and T northwest. He
| gave bond for his appearance for trial,
but immediately left this jurisdiction and
went to New York He WIS brought back
for trial and. as stated. on the aecond day
of the proceedings failed to appear and
his bond was forfeited.
He gave a, new bond for his appearance

LEXINGTON CITIZENS MEET.
The Needs of the city Discussed md
improvements Suggested.

The North Capitol and lexington Citi-
Zens' Association. at a meeting held last
night at the Church of the United Breth-
ren. corner Of North Capitol and r
Streets, determined that the community
required better rapid transit facilities. and
that this subject should be considered in
the proposed scheme for a system of pub
lie parks. The question OF better school
facilities for white children was also dis
| Cussed.
In the matter of rapid transit nearly
every member of the association had some
personal complaint TO voice. After con-
siderable discussion a resolution was
adopted conveying the demand of the as
sociation for better service and threaten
ing to request Congress to place the ar
rangement of service schedules in the
hands of the District Commissioners with
power to impose penalties for non-com-
pliance. In the discussion which preceded
the adoption of the resolution. municipal
ownership Of the electric lines Of the city
was generally advocated.
A report of the committee on schools
and sChOoihoUses was made and the atten-
tion of the association was drawn to the
proposed erection of another colored
schOolhouse near lexington. The assO-
citation directed the committee to ascer-
tain the centre of the colored population
with a view of having the proposed school
building located convenient TO the chill
dren. The ASSOCIATION IS not opposed 10
the establishment of colored schools in
the locality, II was stated.
The inability of the District COmmis-
sioners to complete the school for white
children at Lincoln Avenue above Z
Street in time for the fail school term was
next under discussion. The fact was
brought out that at present eight of the
schools in this section of the city have
halliday closes, and that the facilities for
the white children are entirely Inadequate.
The needs OF the community for public
parks were discussed, and the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Parking Commission
be requested to include in the proposed
system OF parks for this city some of the
vacant lands in the vicinity of lexington
notably the natural parks between Third
Street, lexington Place, New York Ave-
nue.. and r Street northeast, and also the
southern portion of the Patterson estate
adjoining KeBGall Green
The Executive Committee and the Com
mittee on Parks and Parking were direct
ed to lay the resolution before the Com
mission.

THE FLOOD sUBsIDING.
A Special bulletin Issued by the
Weather bureau.


Willis L. Moore Chief of the Weather
Bureau, last night issued the, following
special bulletin on the flood situation:
AT p. m. the Ohio River at Pittsburs
marked 2l5 feet on the gauge. 0.5 foot be-
low the danger line, and a fall of 1.J feet
since a. m The Allegheny was rising
slowly. but not sufficiently to check the
fall in the Ohio, which should continue
to fall unless another heavy rain occurs
during the next few days. an event not
now probable. At Parkersburg the stage
was as feet. rise of 0.S foot since a.
m, and SO feet above the danger line. 1t
is still rising slowly. but the additional
rise will probably not exceed 1 foot. At
Point Pleasant, w. Va, the stage was 50
feet. II feet above the danger line. and
at Cincinnati 51 feet, 1 foot above the
danger line. Between the two places the
river is still rising at the rate OF % foot
an hour, and the rise will probably con-
tinue during Tuesday. There is no occa-
sion for serious alarm at Cincinnati. but
preparations have been made for crest
of 5S feet
AT Madison. Ind. the stage was 80
feet and at Louisville 1875 feet. rise at
the latter place since 8 a. IN. of 81 feet,
and s5 feet below the danger line The
Kentucky River is also very high and the
danger line of y feet will probably be
reached at Louisville on Wednesday
morning, with an expected crest of about
30 feet a short time later. At Evansville
the stage at p. m. was ri feet. rise of
"a feet since a. m. and rs feet below
the danger line. The danger line will
probably be reached during the next two
or three days, and on the lower Tennessee
il will also be passed during this time.
At Harper's Ferry the stage at p. m.
was 1S.5 fall of l foot since noon. The
Potomac at Washington will therefore
fall slowly during Tuesday.

CONSTRUCTION TO PROCEED.
The Van Horne syndicate's Fran
cbisc in Cuba Declared Valid.

1t was stated at the War Department
yeste rday that this Government will not
take any steps to prevent the construc-
ton of u railroad across Cuba by the Van
Horne syndicate 1t is held that the prop
osition does not come within the lines of
the Foraker amendment prohibiting the
granting Of franchises In Cuba as the
promoters intend to purchase the land
upon which the lire is to be constructed.
AS to the progress Of the line through
provinces and municipalities IL is said
that the right to build through them rests
with the municipalities themselves. al
though 1t is possible that grants 10y the
municipal authorities will have to be ap
proved by the Governor General of the
island. Although it was stated that there
might arise in the future some question
whether the building of the road was in
conflict with the Foraker amendment. il
was intimated that this Government does
not feel bound TO interfere with the build
ing of such a line.
