/ weeks. being finally discharged as cured.

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
Prospect Good for Adoption of Amend
ed Local Option Law.
of The Evening Star.

snecial Correspondence ot The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, March "a, 1902.
There is said to be every prospect that
the bill prepared by the Montgomery
County Anti-Saloon League, which pro-
yides for the strengthening of the local
option law of the county by making the
penalty for each violation after the nrst
both fine and imprisonment. Will De en-
acted into law. The bill was introduced by
De,eeate Robertson and was unanimously
ranorted favorably by the countys dele
cation in the house Its passage through
the house is assured and it is not believed
that Senator Jones will antagonize 1t when
it reaches the senate.
II ia stated that no action would probapiy
have been taken at this session had II not
been for a delegation of prominent cltlzehs
of this county which recently visited An
napolis in the interest of resupmlssloh
hill: These gentlemen characterized the
existing local option law as "intoieraoie'
and urged the county's representatives to
pass the Anti-Saloon League bill II they
were opposed to resubmfssion:
It is generally believed that II the pend
ing measure is adopted it will result in
the strict enforcement OF the local option
law. AT, 49,. po,,o,

A NETWORK OF GAS PIPES.
1t Forms the Vermiform Appendix of
the Capitol

The United States Capitol has what may
be called its vermiform appendix. but 1t is
rot likely that this useless organ will ever
cause trouble or require the services Of any
one to secure its removal. True TO its
namesake In the human form. this once
useful portion of the big marble building
is hidden from sight in the interior por-
tions of the structure. 1t is no other than
the old system of gas pipes that honey
combs the walls and floorings from one end
of the building to the other, from sub
basement to roof Thousands of feet Of
pipe with thousand turns carrying 1t
into every room and corridor form thick
network throughout the structure. 1t be-
gan to lose Its usefulness when electric
light was first introduced In the build
ing, and every year the Importance of the
system of gas pipes was leSSened, and It's
career of active service was brought to a
sudden close few years ago when a ter
rible explosion occurred under the United
States Supreme Court. There was great
destruction. The floor of the court room
was ripped up and the general wreckage
would not have been greater had a dyna-
mite bomb been exploded under the home
of the highest court in the land. By that
time the old gas pipes were used very little
and their bad behavior caused them to be
wholly abandoned. Everywhere the ends
of the pipe have been carefully sealed AS
the odor of gas long confined in them ie
still so strong that any opening Of the, pipe
gives forth an odor sufficient to drive every
one from it's vicinity. Some day this abaf-
doned system Of pipes may be called into
q useful career. II 1t should be desired
in the future to provide the open Are
places with gas logs the pipes are there
to supply the fuel. But oak wood has
proved more popular than gas for heatiAE
purposes. especially as the blazing logs are
more valuable for esthetic purposes and
to provide ventilation than for the, single
purpose of providing heat.

EIGHT ROADS, IN NET
Enjoined from Cutting Rates
Out Of Kansas City.
JUDGE PHILLIPS ORDER
COUNSEL FOR THE RAILROADS
MADE NO OPPOSITION.
The Cases Are Similar to Those
Recently Passed Upon
in Chicago.
JUDGE PHILLIPS ORDER

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March o5.-Judgc
John F. Philips, in the United States district
court here today, issued a temporary re-
straining order against eight Chicago-kan-
sas City and Kansas City-St. Louis rail-
roads, on application of Judge w. A. Day,
counsel for the interstate commerce COM
mission. who asked that the roads be en-
joined from deviating from published sched-
uleS
Roads Which Are Affected.
The following-named roads are affected
by Judge Phillips order: Chicago and AL
ton, Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul; Chi
cago Great Western Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy;
Missouri Pacific, Chicago Rock Island and
Pacific and the Wabash
In addressing the court counsel for the
different railroads made no opposition to
the issuance of the restraining order. Car
diner Lathrop, attorney for the Santa Fe
and Rock Island roads. said that while he
did not wish to waive any right or MS
clients, he would not oppose a temporary
order, made returnable some time in June,
and this proved to be the sentiment OF all
concerned. Judge Day said the government
was fully prepared to go into all phases OF
the case now, but that the temporary order
would be SatiSfa ctOry.
1t was suggested that it might be we'll to
argue the Kansas City and Chicago cases
jointly at Chicago.
Date for Argument Set.
Several dates were suggested, but they
conflicted with Judge Philips term of court.
Finally, it was mutually agreed that the
Kansas City case should be argued at Chi
cago on June %, if it were found possible
to make the arrangements with the Chicago
officials.
Judge Day and the counsel for the various
roads arrived in the city today. The ses-
sion of court lasted but half an hour, after
which the various counsel departed for
their homes. Judge Day left late in the
day for Chicago.
