AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Danger of Flood Believed to Be Over
General Items.

All danger of flood in the Potomac Is
regarded as being over. The river yester-
day AFTERNOON reached it's maximum
height, 1t is thought, which is stated to
nave been about three feet above high tide.
In some low places the water went over
the Wharves, but in a majority of instances
the level of the river did not reach the
Wharves. No damage was done. BY 5
CLOCK yesterday afternoon a fall Of nearly
one foot had been recorded and since then
tne river has been gradually receding. The
normal level Is expected to be reached late
TINS evening, though the water will un-
douotedly continue to be muddy for several
days.

Valuable Ornament Recovered.

A telephone message received late yester-
day afternoon by the jewelry firm of Shaw
& Berry explained that the $500 diamond
lorgnette chain reported missing a few days
ago has been found. Instead of having been
shipped to the manufacturing firm in New
York, as was supposed, the chain was sent
. in a box with other jewelry to lady in
Plttsburg When Mr.. o. B. George, superin-
tendent of the Adams Express Company,
learned that the chain had been found he
was not surprised. He had thought all
along that there had been a mistake of
some kind made, and he said he felt GER

stomach fermenting, gases formed which dis
tend the organ, causing pressure on the heart and
lungs causing palpitation, irregularity and short
ness Of breath.
The danger from this condition is that the con-
tinued disturbance Of the heart later may
cause real organic heart trouble and in fact fire.
quently does So
Furthermore, poor digestion makes the blood thin
and watery and deficient in red corpuscles and
this further irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible thing to do for heart trouble
is to insure the digestion and assimilation of the
food.
This can be done by the regular after meals
OF some safe, pleasant and effective digestive
preparation, like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drug stores and which
contain the necessary digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
Thousands Of people keep we'll and vigorous by
keeping their digestion perfect by observing the
rule of taking one or two of these tablets after
each meal, at least after each hearty meal
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain U. S. p pep
sin, diastase from malt and other natural dIges-
tives which act only the food digesting 1t per-
fectly and preventing acdity gases and the many
diseased conditions which accompany weak stou-
ach.
When Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are used you
may know You are not taking into the system any
strong medicine or powerful drug, but simply the
natural digestive elements which every weak stom-
ach lacks
So widely known and popular have these tablets
become that they sold by every druggist
in the United States, Canada and Great Britain

Representative jenkins View.
In commenting on the new code of laws
for the District, which goes into effect to-
day, Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin,
who was chairman of the special subcom-
| mittee of the House committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia which reported the code
to the House, said to Star reporter today
there was no doubt in his mind that criti-
cisms would follow the initial workings of
the code.
Even if the code were perfect" contin-
ued Mr.. jenkins, ''it would still be unsatis-
factory, for it is both a new departure and
radical change. AS soon as practitioners
have become accustomed to 1t, and the code
can be improved by amendment. there is no
reason why it will not meet with the satis-
faction of all, and 1 doubt much if any will
want to go back to the old system after the
new code has become familiar through prac-
tice to attorneys
Difficulties Encountered.
In speaking of the difficulty his commit
tee had in trying to harmonize the code
with the varying and radically different
views of the members of the local bar, Mr.
Jenkins concluded that 1t was rather sur
prise than otherwise that any code was
adopted. A large number of attorneys were
radically opposed to any change at all;
many wanted provisions inserted which
We're strictly of personal character, while
still others thought it an opportunity to get
all manner of irrelevent legislation enacted
Experience under the new CODE" con-
cluded Mr.. Jenkins, will suggest just and
reasonable changes and 1 predict that
when perfected in this way, 1t will be the
pride of every lawyer in the District. Every
amendment which shall be offered should
be most carefully and openly considered
that the result may be an improvement in
the case of each change made
In Eject Today.
The new code went into effect today,
technically speaking, but from a practical
standpoint, this being a legal holiday, it's
operation will really begin tomorrow morn
ing.
Lawyers anticipate some confusion for
awhile. due to the changed conditions and
lack of familiarity with the code. 1t seems
to be universally conceded that the inStru-
ment will have to be amended in certain re-
spects. The assertion has been made that
by reason of the absence of a tenure saw
ing clause the code in its present form has
the effect of legislatng the Police Court
judges and certain other officials out of Of
flee. This question will very likely be
tested in the early future. The principal
changes of general interest effected by the
code have heretofore been enumerated in
The Star.

Penalty for MansIaughter.

The code increases the maximum punish
ment for manslaughter from ten to fifteen
years. and for assault with intent to kill
from eight to fifteen years. 1t also creates
a new crime of assault with dangerous
weapon, for which the maximum punish
ment is Imprisonment for ten years. Under
the old law OF assault with intent to kill 1t
was necessary TO prove an actual intent to
kill. or a state of facts from which the
jury might infer such an intent: under this
section, the mere use of a dangerous wea-
pon in an assault constitutes the crime.
There is also created in the same class of
eases threatening another in a menacing
manner. puniShd Bile by fine or inprison-
ment. or both; which will probably require
Judicial construction before its exact mean
ing is understood
1T would be impracticable to enumerate
all the changes in the code in respect of the
administration of the criminal law in the
Dlsrlct. They tend invariably toward the
increased efficiency of the law. In a num-
Der OF instances new Offenses are created
For example, the abduction of a person is
MADE a crime, punishable, If the person
aouucted Is over sixteen years of age. by
imprisonment for not more than seven
years, and if under that age by imprisOn-
ment FOR not more than twenty years or
by line in either case. To WrongfulIy ac-
cuSe woman of nChaStity is punishable

made an offense punishable by imprison-
ment for not more than five years or by

Important Changes.

In the matter of procedure the code
makes number Of important changes For
example. 1t is no longer necessary i'm in
dictments 10 set out a full description of
the money, bills. notes. currency or bonds
which have been stolen or embezzled. a
section of the code makes il sufficient To
describe such property simply as money
and in indictments in which IL is necessary
to allege an intention TO defraud il is no
longer necessary TO allege the intent to
defraud any particular person. IL is suffi-
cfent TO prove a general intent to defraud
In the matter of challenges under the old
law the government. in capital cases was
entitled TO but five peremptory challenges
while the accused had twenty and in other
feionies the government had three and
the defendant ten Under the code the
government Is put upon an equality with
the defendant in the matter of peremptory
challenges.
Perhaps the most important change in
procedure is that giving the United States
or the District of Columbia the right of
appeal In criminal cases. This however
does not permit the upper court in case
II finds there was error in the rulings of
