Affairs Of Standard Dutterine Company
Befone tn Court.

The affairs of the Standard Butterine
Company were again discussed at length in
court late yesterday, when Justice Hagner
granted hearing on - petition of the re-
ceivers for authorityf1to sell thirty refrig-
orator cars beiongineao the company. An
o1er has been made,by a Chicago firm to
purchase the cars for t21 600. Attorney F.
L. Siddons, on hehA8 Of the receivers,
stated that as 1t had teen impossible to in
sure the cars the pfsR of the Chicago firm
was considered Soodone by the receivers,
and they thought 1t should be accepted.
A sale at the present time was opposed
by the board Of dire ctsrs, who, through At
torney Wilton j. Eambert, presented to the
court q statement of the plan which has
been formulated by the stockholders for
the reorganization Of the company and the
discharge OF the receivers. It was explained
that both the reorganized board Of the
company and a large number OF the stock
noloers nave been working industriousiy
Tor several months past to avoid sale of
the plant and assets and to enable the COM
pany to resume business; that number OF
changes have been made upon the board;
that 1t has been ascertainedthat the exact
Indebtedness Of the plant. as existing
amounts to $1So. 0ee and that there are in
available assets, exclusive Of the plant, to
be applied to this indebtedness, $4,000,
leaving balance of $4,000. Concerning
the remaining indebtedness, it was stated,
arrangements have been made with the
creditors of the company to take percent
age as a curtaH and relieve the company
upon the pledge of bonds for the residue.
1t was further stated that subscriptions
for bonds of the company have been solic-
tied from the stockholders and others, and
that so far sum aggre eating about $4,000
has been subscribed and that, thus having
the enterprise in hand, they have every rea-
son to believe that by the time Of the an
nual meeting. the 18th of January a suff1-
cient amount of money will be raised to
enable the company to begin operations at
once, with working capital of about
$4,000.
Justice Hagner expressed the opinion that
an opportunity to sell part Of the cars should
not be lost, and he will, the Both instant.
sign an order authorizing the sale Of
twenty Of the cars, reserving ten for the
use Of the company unless by that date the
company as reorganized desires to purchase
the rolling stock.

THE DISTRICT RULERS.
How They Are Spending Their Annual
Holiday,


The three members of the governing body
Of the national capital the District Com
missoners, are spending a quiet, happy
Christmas today, each according to his in
dlvidual bent. A holiday from the arduous
duties at the District building is thoroughly
appreciated by the District rulers and is an
occasion to be made the most Of.
Mr.. mcfarland, president of the board Of
Commissioners attended the Christmas
services at the Church Of the Covenant this
morning, lunched out, and will spend the
remainder Of the day at home with Mrs.
Mcfarland, who has but recently recovered
from quite serious illness.
Commissioner Henry Litchfield West de-
clares Christmas is the happiest day in the
year, and each succeeding season seems to
make the holiday all the more enjoyable.
AS he has done for many years past, he
spent this morning at home with his wife
and family, opening with great curiosity
and thorough delight the many packages
Santa Claus left at the West homestead.
Mr.. West had intended playing golf this
afternoon on the links of the Columbia
Club, but the snow probably puts an end
to that feature of the program. Family
out the Commissioners day.
Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner Of the District, is entertaining num-
Der Of friends at his home on Q street and
will spend the day Informally with them
and in visiting a few friends. He will en-
terrain his house guests at dinner tonight

No Such salvadorian Law.

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR: -
In the edition Of Tuesday you say: "a
notable case Is that of Salvador. Recently
United States corporation obtained, after
arbitration. a judgment against the gov
eminent of Salvador. The verdict was re-
ceiyed with intense indignation in Salvador
and SO intense was the anti-foreign feeling
excited that law was passed making it
a criminal offense. and one to be heavily
punished, for any Salvadorian to give any
evidence whatever before any court in be-
half of a foreigner who claimed damages
against the Salvadorian government
beg your pardon. sir; but you have been
very much misinformed. The Salvadorian
legislature never passed such law. Our
laws are based upon the general principles
Of modern Jurisprudence and do not con-
tain such absurdities as that, and our
courts fulfill their mission honestly and
righteouSly. RAFAEL s. LOPEZ.

SOLDIERS MARROW ESCAPE.
Reporters Discovery Offers Only Plea
for the Defense

There was soldier who narrowly escaped
the ignominious death by hanging In this
city under a charge of murder while his
comrades were in active service at the front
during the civil war. 1t will be remembered
that in those days there were many So
called shops in the city where liquor was
sold in small quantities, and it goes without
saying that these several locations were not
a secret to the soldiery. North of the Presi-
dents house, at less than three-fourths OF q
mile distance, a small force Of cavalry was
encamped.
One Of these shops, conducted by native
Of the emerald isle, was not far south OF
the camp and 1t was the usual resort OF
some Of the troops. One day there was
quarrel between the proprietor and one OF
his soldier customers. The latter, on being
elected from the shop, vowed to get even.
That afternoon the soldier rode to the shop,
dismounted. and, going to the door. shot
and killed the proprietor as he entered the
back door. AS was usual, an inquest was
held, and on the verdict that death was
caused by a shot at the hands of the sol
der he was arrested and In a few weeks
was placed on trial.
The late Chief Justice Carter was then
holding the Criminal Court. Owing to the
multitude Of cases before the court, many
which were regarded as one-sided were
''railroaded," more especially when the Jail
was crowded. A lawyer was assigned to
this particular case and the trial was being
hurried through, with the intention OF clos
ing it the same day. The testimony as
given for the prosecution fully sustained
the charge of murder in the first degree
and the prisoner seemed to be doomed. 1t
so happened that a reporter whose multi
farious duties precluoed him from giving
more than an hours attention daily to that
court made his rounds, and he soon recalled
the killing, with its incidents. Directly
after the coroner's jury had closed he had
found hole through the panel Of the front
door and an indentation as of a bail in the
wall, while a companion picked up fiat
tened ball. This information was communi-
Gated to the prisoners counsel, and after
recess be placed this Information before the
jury.
OF course, the district attorney argued for
a conviction, but the prisoners counsel
claimed that as the evidence showed that
the prisoner stood in the door, which opened
from the inside, when he fired the fatal
shot that the hole through the panel and
the indentation in the wall showed that
shot came from the rear Of the room, and
it was fair to presume that the killing was
the result of duel.
This contention was successful, for the
jury was not long in reaching a verdict Of
not guilty.
