Justice Hagner was occupied yesterda!

came up for hearing on the exception.
taken by many property owners to tho
awards made by the appraisers jury
| which had reported upon the subject. The
argument was not concluded, and will be
continued this morning.
A vast area of valuable property is in
volved and large number Of prominent
persons interested. The long struggle
waged eliminated in the present act of
Congress allowing the Commissioners, ir-
respective of the court, to veto the Jury 3

extension act. Much interest has been

at the hearing.
Can Assess Benefits.
BY the act providing for the street the
Jury was authorized to assess benefits
upon adjoining property other than that
through which land was donated for the
street at their discretion, and in the event
of the award not being confirmed by the
court new jury could be empaneled.
1t was provided that should the assess
ments for benefits not equal one-half OF
the damages awarded, the Commissioners
might, in their discretion. set aside the
findings of the jury.
No Provision for Jury.
In this event no provision was
made for a new jury, and it has been con-
tended that such action on the part of the
Commissioners would entirely defeat the
act.
Early last spring the jury. which was
composed of some OF Washington's most
prominent business men, rendered ver-
dict assessing about one-seventh of the
damages in benefits, and upon the matter
being presented to a board meeting few
days afterward 1t was announced that the
Commissioners had decided to set aside
the verdict because of the alleged dispro-
portion between the damages and benefits.

Feature of the Day.
At last the time arrived for the feature
of the day-''a steeplechase handicap for
hunters that have been regularly hunted
during the season of 190l-l9O2 with the
Chevy Chase hounds" it was described on
the programme; horses to be ridden by
gentlemen in pink the pink to consist
of a pink hunting coat, white breeches.
high silk hat or black velvet hunting cap.
and top boots" was the further informa-
tion furnished by the programme
II did not matter that the pink on this
occasion was red. II is trivial matter
when the race itself is considered
Shortly after 4:30 O'Clock seven pranc-
ing bobtail hunters came cantering out on
the track: their riders wearing the pre-
scribed pink coats. As they passed the
clubhouse and stand they were given an
ovation, to which all responded by lift
ing their caps. 1t was a pretty sight;
there's no denying that.
or course very few in the stand could
but that did not matter. There was to be
race with gentlemen rides; that was
sufficient.
No Delay at Post.
There was no delay at the post. Starter
Cassidy apparently thought that the start
would make little difference with the re-
suit Neither did 1t. AT the first word
the seven hunters were sent away. The
first TO reach a hurdle took ii success
fully. and there was cheer from the
stand; the second cleared it gracefully;
all got over. and there was another
cheer.
Then Twilight and Rooster ran into
the lead, their riders apparently impa-
tient to begin The race in earnest At the |
second jump the two leaders fell There |

in DOUCHNUT'S DEFENSE
BOOTH HARRINGTON AND A. u.
DOUGHERTY MAKE REPLY.
Judge feathers VIII Be Called Upon
to Assume the Character of
an Expert.

Newton Booth Harrington and Albert L.
Dougherty, proprietors of a doughnut fac
tory on Broadway, defendants in suit for
damages and the abatement of their in
stitution, brought by Samuel Wilson and
his wife, who live next door. yesterday filed
a motion to strike out certain parts of the
complaint, the principal one being the al
legation that the odor of frying doughnuts
is offensive. The charge in the complaint
was that the odor from the frying dough-
nuts pervaded the plaintiffs house and
was offensive to them. In support of the
motion to strike out this part of the COM
plant the court Is asked to consider the
fragrant doughnut as follows:
"Cottolene and grease generally are en-
tirely harmless and not malodorous sub
stances. nor generally does their use in fry
ing doughnuts create offensive odor These
things the court knows judicially. Were,
however, the court without judicial knowl-
edge on that point, that would be the legal
presumption as against a pleader who fails
to plead contrary facts. The averment that
the odor arising from the frying of dough-
nuts (there being no averment that the
cottolene grease used is malodorous or
fouD is obnoxious and offensive, is simply
a conclusion of the pleader and is to be
rejected. Obnoxious or foul OdOrS cannot
in the nature of things arise from the fry
ing or cooking with sweet and palatable
oil or grease, and there is here no averment
that the cottoene or grease used were
not entirely sweet and inoffensive. We
insist that the conclusion of the pleader
should be rejected. 1t is important that We
be required to take issue only on issuable
facts and not on conclusions.
This appeal TO the court questions the
judgment of the plaintiff in telling the diff
ference between good and bad doughnuts
in terming their decision a conclusion"
and Judge feathers is placed in a position
where he will have to go on record as an
authority on the odor arising from frying
doughnuts.
The other part of the complaint that is
asked to be stricken out is that which
charges the employees with making unnec-
essary noise late at night IT is argued
that the employers are not responsible for
the conduct of their employees and if the
men have been guilty of the misdemeanor
alleged they are subject to proper punish
ment.
