MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
BECOME INSANE
Mrs. Eliza J. Denver and Miss Denver
Were Favorites In Washington.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Aug. %. Mrs.
Eliza j: Denver, the widow of Capt Den
yer of Washington, who was brother of
st. Clair Denver, after whom Colorado's
chief city was named, and her daughter
have become hopelessly insane at Corona
do Beach, and it has been necessary to
send them to private asylum. The two
women have resided in this part of the
state about four years and until about a
year ago they made Los Angeles their
home
Within the past two weeks their actions
have caused some alarm, and fears have
been, entertained of a double tragedy be-
ing enacted within the little. cottage. The
couple even refused to receive their mail
and the grocer and other tradespeopIe
were sent away
Admittance to the house was gained by
force, and the invaders were received
most unwillingly by the terrified women.
1t Is thought that property losses and
financial troubles have caused their sad
condition, although they still own a val
liable lemon orchard in San Diego county
The mother is about sixty and the daugh-
ter forty years Of age. During their life
in Washington Miss Denver was an ac-
knowledged social favorite

Request for Permit Debated.

The Commissioners recently received a
communication from Callum & Addison,
managers of the Mutual Telephone, Mes

1926 Connecticut avenue, requesting the
District authorities for permission to keep
a vehicle standing in front of their Office
in order to have 1t in readiness to NIL Or
ders received over the call system In
reporting on the matter Hack Inspector
Lamb suggested that a stand for three
vehicles be located in De Sales street i'm
mediately east of Connecticut avenue, at
a point directly opposite the office of the
writers.
When the suggestion to- locate the hack
stand on De Sales street was made known
residents on that street raised strenuous
objection to the proposition. and the mat
ter again referred to Mr.. Lamb to re-
mort as to whether a more suitable locality
could be found for the hack stand. In his
last report he states that he is unable to
suggest a less Objectionable location, u

Needlework Guild to Meet.

Arrangements have been completed for
the annual meeting of the First Needlework
Guild of Washington City to be held al the
residence of Mrs. Robert Craig, 1922 street
northwest. Tuesday, November II, at IL
am. This guild was founded by the late
Mrs. Jane o. Mahon, upon the methods
used by Lady Wolverton, the originator of
this form of charity, in the London Needle
work Guild. 1t has been in existence for
fourteen years, and in that time has in a
quiet and urobtrusive way become a prom
inent factor in the charitable work of our
city. The present officers are: President
Mrs. Robert Craig; vice presidents, Mrs
Alexander Murray, Mrs A. w. Greedy Mrs
Samuel j. Randall, Mrs. D. Wolfe Brown.
Mrs. j. Ledyard Hodge, Mrs Wallace Rad
cliffe, Mrs. George N. Beale and Miss Vir-
ginia Miller; secretary, Mrs George Byrd
Harrison; treasurer, Miss Fannie G. Chids
The simplicity of the methods employed Is
manifest two new garments a year being
the contribution required for membership
with only one meeting a year. 1t is the
aim of the officers to keep it simple and
with as little expense as possible, as was
the intention of its English foundress.
During six months of the year clothing is
distributed by the members among the des-
t1tute and deserving poor of the city, and a
large number of needy and suffering ones
have been helped by the guild in this way.

THEFT OF MERCHANDISE.
Colored Porter and His Alleged Accom-
plices Under Arrest.

|. Three arrests were made yesterday after
noon at the china store of Charles 4.
Edmonston, 1905 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest. One of the trio was Richard
Campbell, a colored porter. and the others
were men in charge of wagon that vas
used to haul empty barrels from the store.
The man in charge of the wagon gave
his name as George M. Stone, jr., and his
helper registered as George Gosnell. Some
of the supposed empty barrels were found
to contain pieces of china and glass, and
the porter admitted that he was respon-
sible for their presence in the barrels.
1t was his first offense, he declared, but
his employer and the officers making the
arrest thought otherwise.
Precinct Detective Grant and Police
man B. H. Johnson of the first precinct
made the arrests. Campbell was charged
with larceny and the others were accused
of having received stolen goods. Denials
were entered by Stone and Gosnell and
the former was released on bond
Some time ago Detectives Parham and
O'Brien called on Mr.. tidmonston and gave
him certain information and expressed sus-
pcions against his porter. Campbell had
been employed in the store about four
teen years, and Mr.. Edmonston could hard
ly believe the story tolu about him. 1t
was said that articles taken from the
store had been sold at saloons and at other
places. n T&-
Watch was hpt.eop the porter, and yes
terday when tie BARREL man" came and
got the "empties'' the detective was sent
for. Today an effort is being made to re-
cover some of the property alleged to have
been carried away on other occasions. The
cases will be Investigated in the police
court tomorrow. -

THE sIpEwALK SPACES.
Arguments For AID Against Regula-
ton Prohibiting Their Use.

I
A number of furniture and secondhand
| dealers who occupy premises on the north
side of Louisiana avenue between 9Th and
| 7th streets, together with their attor-
neys, were granted a hearing by the Dis
trict Commissioners today relative to the
rights of the deahefs4 to display their
wares on the sidewalk in front of their
premises Attorney c. w. Darr repre-
scented the furniture dealers. while At
torneys w. c. sClephane and Edward Sef-
ton appeared ION behalf of the property
owners. .
Mr. Darr. argued that ass the sidewalk
along the space in question is fifty feet
wide the merchants can easily occupy
ten feet of the space in the center of the
sidewalk, lea wing twenty feet on. each
side for pedestrians. He was of the opn-
ion. that by such an arrangement the
rights of pedestrians would not be inter-
fered with.
Mr.. Clephane declared that if the regu-
la ton prohibiting the dealers from eccu-
plying the sidewalk is enforced it will re-
suit in destroying the means of liveli-
hood of men without capital or resources
to the advantage of merchants in other
parts of the city who have large means.
A number of photographs showing
other places in Washington where side
walks are occupied for displaying wares
were presented by Mr.. Darr The Com
missioners however, were not inclined
similar to the one at issue.
The Commissioners stated that they
will give due eonsidera ton to the argu-
ments OF the attorneys for the dealers
and will anounce their decision at the
earliest opportunity.

Medicine Without License.

Prof" Henry Clay, an elderly colored
man, who resides in Maryland near Chevy
Chase, was convicted in the Police Court

the facts Judge KimbaIl gave Clay the
privilege of paying fine of 500 or spend
ing three months in the workhouse as the
equivalent
Laura Saunders, a colored resident OF
Georgetown, was the CHER witness against
Clay
Il was feeling bad the other day, when
this man came to see me and said he could
cure me- Laura testified.
How much money did he want?" the
court asked.
.Fifteen dollars, but he only got 50. So
what did he do when he came to see
you?' the woman was asked
He examined my hands, and then told
me l had worms in my fingers and he
could cure me-
Did he?" his honor asked.
81 don't know, but he certainly gave me
some most powerful medicine, and 1t was
awful bitter
Clay admitted giving the woman some
medicine, but denied that he represented
himself to be physician. The court, now
ever. decided that the charge had been
substantiated and acted accordingly.

ROYALTIES ON BOOKS.
| No Statute to Prohibit Persons in
Schools From Receiving Them.

Corporation Counsel A. B. Duvail, In a
legal opinion submitted to the District Com
missioners today, states that there is no
express statute which would prevent per-
sens connected with the public schools from
receiving royalties on books which they
have copyrightef The only provision of
law which might be relevant to the sub
ject, says, Mr.. DhvaiIoe Is that contained in
the District appropriation act for the fiscal
year ending june 80, 1885, which provides
that hereafter no school official shall re-
ceive any pecuniary benefit on account of
school supplies or text books purchased for
the use of the ptfblic schools in the District
of Columbia
of Secretary Rodrick of the board of edu-
cation. Among other things, Mr.. Duvall
states:
The copyright laws enacted by Congress
are designed, among other things, to pro-
tect literary property and encourage lit
efary production; it is not to be assumed
that In enacting the aforementioned pro-
visions in the District appropriation bill
congress intended to deprive persons con-
nected with the public schools of the Dis
tr1ct OF rights and benefits which 1t had
carefully secured for citizens throughout
the entire country, including school teach
ers and officials
ut is a settled rule of statutory con-
struction that statutes relating to the same
subject should be construed together, and
in the absence of an express declaration
in the provision of the District appropria-
ton act, that the provision therein con-
tanned should extend to royalties on copy
righted books, I am of the opinion that II
is not to be construed as embracing sucf
royalties, inasmuch as the provision may
be gratified by it's application to an en-
tirely different subject matter. The ques-
ton submitted by the board of education
should therefore be answered IN the mega
tive"
