AMENDMENT PROPOSED.
Regulations Regarding Practice Of
Stopping Vehicles Abreast on Street.

Maj. Sylvester, the superintendent of po-
ice, has forwarded to the District Com
missioners the draft Of an amendment to
the police regulations designed to break up
the practice of stopping two vehicles
abreast on the side of a street. The major
does not believe that more than a single
line Of vehicles should be allowed along the
curb on either side of the street. OF course,
exceptions are made In the cases of the
sters, receptions and public functions, gov
erning which special regulations are al
ready In force. The proposed amendment
has been referred to the corporation coun-
sci for opinion as to its legal form and
feasibility. AS submitted by Maj Sylvester
1t provides:
mo vehicle shall stop abreast of another
vehicle upon any street or avenue, but shall
be SO driven that the side or rear of the
vehicle shall be next to the curb line of
said street or avenue: provided that this
regulation shall in no wise conflict with
section IL, article ii of the police regula-
lions relating to the congregating of We
hicles in the vicinity of receptions balls,
theaters, concerts or private parties.
Every person as aforesaid violating any
provision Of this section shall be punished
by fine of not less than 81 nor more than
$40 for each OffenSa."

LOST IN DENSE FOREST
THIRTY-SIX HOURS WITHOUT
FOOD OR SHELTER.
Experience Of Mr.. s. B. Hege and Two
Others While Hunting in South
west Virginia.

Mr.. s. B. Hege, district agent of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, who has just re-
turned from a hunting trip in the noun
tains Of southwestern Virginia, had an ex-
perience that he will not soon forget. With
his son and Mr.. Orr of Chambersburg,
Pa, who accompanied him on the expedi-
ton. he became lost in the dense forests
and was for nearly thirty-six hours without
food One night was spent in the woods
with only the ground as place to sleep.
Mr.. Hege and his friends went into the
Allegheny mountains about thirty miles
from Monterey, the only settlement near
by. After breakfast one morning they
started out for a hunt expecting to return
to their headquarters at noon. Following,
as they supposed, the directions that had
been given them by the guide, who was to
Join them in the afternoon. they turned
back They walked all the afternoon with
out finding any signs of habitation. Toward
night they fired their guns at intervals OF
few minutes and yelled at the tops OF their
voices. No answer rewarded their efforts
to be heard.
The sun went down, and within half an
hour it was so dark they could not see their
hands before them.
Not mouthful of food had they eaten
since morning, and the pangs of hunger
were painfully manifest. They built fire
out Of brush and slept as much as they
could until o'clock the next morning,
when they again started in search of
clearing. Mr.. Hege said today that he and
his companions walked not less than tWen-
ty miles the day before
Finally Meet the Guide.
From o'clock in the morning until after
noon they continued firing their guns and
irterspersed the noise with their yellsI FL
nally they heard the noise Of guns appar-
emily about three miles away. Going in the
direction of the noise, they finally heard the
voices Of men. About o'clock in the af-
ternoon they came upon the guide and
other members of the hunting party who
had been left behind the morning before.
They were then about ten miles from
where they started. Weak from hunger
Mr.. Hege and his companions reached
headquarters toward night. The guide and
the other members of the party had started
out the afternoon before in search of them
but failed to find them. The next morning
bright and early they again started out and
their efforts were successful.
Il would have given everything l had
that night to have been in my home IN
Washington" Mr.. Hege said today, relating
his experience.
Like President Roosevelt on his recent
hunting trip in Mississippi, Mr.. Hege and
his friends bagged very little game, but
they had fine outing and came back feel
ing better for having gone.

HOLDS POLICY
Is INVALID

Washington, Dec. 23.-The question
of the effect of murder upon a life in
surance policy when issued upon the
life of the murderer was yesterday
passed upon by the United States SUI
preme court in an opinion delivered by
Justice Brewer. The case in which
the opinion was delivered was that OF
S. M. Burt against the Union Central
Life Insurance company in which Will
lam E. Burt of Travis county, Texas,
who was insured. His policy is made
payable to his wife, Anna M. Burt, and
in case of her death to his executors.
During the following year Burt's wife
died and he afterWard was charged
with her murder and found guilty and
executed Afterward the heirs of the
estate made an effort to collect upon
the policy, but the insurance company
resisted payment. The lower courts
sustained the protest of the company
and yesterdays opinion affirmed the
decision of the court of appeals, hold
ing the policy was invalid on the
ground that to sanction payment I'M
der the circumstances would be con-
trary to public policy. Stating the
question at issue, Justice Brewer said
it was 'whether an ordinary life policy
containing no applicable special proVi-
ance against legal execution for the
crime: in other words do insurance
policies insure against crime?"

Paris, Dec. 23.-EXtraditiOn proceed
ings against the Humbert family, ar
rested in Madrid, are being pushed
rapidly. Not since France was shaken
by the Dreyfus affair has the country
been so intensely interested as it is by
the DEVELOPMENTS of this case. For
the moment, the Venezuelan trouble be-
came Obscured and French newspa-
pers are devoting their energies to
elaborate presentations Of the cele-
brated case. Some papers assert that
the arrest of the Humberts is only
prelude to even more sensational de-
velopments which involve personages
in the foremost rank of political, jul
dicial and social affairs.
Indications are that the Dreytus
matter will again be dragged before
the public and that there will be
renewal of the animosities OF anti
semitic discussion. Deputy Gauthler
has taken the initiative in asserting
that the relatives of Dreyfus are
among L00 heaviest C1SuALO10 VI ChO
Humberts and that this alleged fact
exercised an important influence in
thee highest governmental quarters
during the Dreyfus trial. Yelled allu-
sions are made to some Of the men
most prominent in public life; some
newspapers even going so far as to
name those alleged to figure directly
or indirectly in the affair. When the
chamber of deputies resumes its ses-
sion the Humbert question probably
will become one of the chief elements
in politics. Already the matter has
swayed ministries and it caused re-
cent sensational tumult in the cham
Der. Plans had been formulated for
the return of the Humbert party to
Paris. The utmost precautiOn will be
taken to prevent their escape and to
guard against the possibility of any OF
them committing suicide.

To get satisfactory results from wood,
one should lay in variety running
the whole gamut from well-seasoned

enough to have real working CRATES or

able, after a little experimenting, to
heat their houses much more cheap1y
than would be possible with anthracite

enjoyed being forced into the luxury
of an open fire, which is as much more
healthful as it is agreeable. Ameri-
