LANGDON MUST GET
ALONG WITHOUT GAS
The Railway Wants Deposit
From Gas Company.
Commissioners Are Powerless to Inter-
feIe in Behalf of Northeast Sub
urban Citizens Association.

| The Northeast Suburban Citizens As
the District Commissioners to make ar
rangements for the extension of gas
mains under the tracks OF the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad in the line of
Detroit Street, Lansdon. At the instance
of Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Com
missioner, the association. will be in
formed that the matter has been taken
up with the gas company and the rail-
road company, and that the arrange
ments requested cannot be made.
The status OF the matter is that the
railway company will not allow the gas
company to lay the mains without the
deposit of $500 to cover possible dam
ages to their roadbed and tracks. This
the gas company is unwilling to make.
and the municipal authorities have no
power tc compel the gas company to
act in the matter.
District Has No Power.
"The District has no power in the mat
ter" says Colonel Biddle, "as the right
of way across the railroad has not
been given to the District nor can il
be asked for until the District owns
property sufficient for extending this
street. This property has not been
donated. and unless it is. it is not prob
able that the Commissioners will recon-
mend the extension of the street.
Furthermore. it is not believed that
the Commissioners are warranted in re-
quiring the gas company to make the ex-
tension in question until they are as
sured of sufficient business to justify
the expense. The gas company states
that when the way is open. and the
streets graded in Langdon, they will be
glad to oblige the people there by hav-
ing supply of gas furnished to all
who may need ii along the line of its
mains.
THE question at this time would thus
seem to be one between the railroad
company and the gas company. and 1t
would not seem proper for the Commits
sioners to interfere"

There vas a sigh of disappointment
when the official watches announced

WILL DETERMINE WHERE
VEHICLES MAY TRAVEL
Trial OF Erskine NJ Sunderland Will Be
Test of Law-Hearipg
This Morning.

A case which promises to be of con-
siderable interest will come up before
vacation Judge Luke C. Strider this
morning in the District branch of the
Police Court. The case is District of
columbia against Erskine NJ Sunderland.
The case was called for trial yester-
day, but was postponed until this morn
ing in order that Judge Strider may
| take under consideration the matter of
granting Sunderland jury trial, which
was asked for by the defendant through
his counsel, Attorney d. W. Baker.
Mr.. Sunderland is charged with having
propelled his automobile on the wrong
side of the street. on Pennsylvania Ave.
nue. near Thirteenth Street, with hav-
ing driven his machine at greater rate
OF speed than the law allows, and with
having crossed intersecting streets at a
greater rate of speed than six miles an
hour.
Counsel for the defense moved that Mr..
Sunderland be granted a trial by jury.
District Attorney Pugh was ayersa TO
giving trial by jury, stating that he
was not entitled to such a procedure.
and If such trial was granted by the
court ii would upset the practice of the
Police Court.
Judge Strider stated that while he did
not want to upset the practices of the
court, he was of the belief that accord
ing to the Constitution of the United
States the defendant was entitled to a
trial by jury, but that he would take the
matter under consideration, and would
postpone hearing of the case until this
morning
Mr.. Erskine NJ Sunderland, the defen
dant in the case. is a well-known archi-
tect OF this city.
He was arrested on September is. for
the alleged offenses, and forfeited SIS
collateral for his appearance in the
cases.
1t is said that the case is to be made
test case for the future guidance of own
ers and propellers of automobile, and |
horseless carriages in the District.
