Gas and Electricity absolute power TO cut off
the water supply Of any premises within the
city. The decision was on the application Of
hotel keeper for mandamus 10 prevent the
Water Department from interfering with his

last March found that the water meter in the
hotel had been tampered with; that several
Of the teeth in the cog wheels had been filed
off; that the seal had been broken. and that
the meter had been set back on several oc-
casions. Commissioner Dougherty sent for the
hotel keeper, who pleaded ignorance Of the whole

he paid his water bill IN full his water would be
cut of. Before the department had chance to
carry out its threat the hotel keeper obtained
a mandamus. This mancamus is set aside by
the Appellate Division. The decision is Of
much Importance to the Water Department and

JUDGE TOOK KELLER'S PART.
Man Said to BE Russian Count Ar
raiGned for NaErnncy.

Charles o. Keller, who is said to be a
Russian court. was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court yesterday, charged with being
a yagrant, and was dismissed by Judge
Kimball.
Detective Helan stated to the court that
Keller. in 1898. had obtained money un-
der false pretence in this city: that he
served a term in prison in New York, and
that he had approached several persons to
obtain money just previous to his last ar
rest. on the pretext that he needed it for
the promotion OF a patent that he ex-
pected to sell 20 the Government.
Keller told Judge Kimball that lie came
to this city last Sunday and that he was
arrested on Wednesday as suspicious
character. He admitted having served a
term in New York prison, and with
evident emotion said that since he gained
his liberty he had lived a life that no
one should criticise.
Keller said he came TO Washington
from Chattanooga. lie had correSponded
with officials of the Navy Department
concerning an invention in which, he SAID,
they were interested, and had come to
Washington in response to kilograms sent
him by the department for a personal in
terview He showed a despatch, which
Judge Kimball announced was from the
department and entirely sufficient ground
for Keller's presence in the city.
Judge kimball. in passing on the case,
expressed the opinion that Keller should
be helped instead of hampored in his ef-
forts to atone for the past. He said Keller
had right to be in Washington.
