THE THEATER.
LAFAYETTE Theater.

The Lafayette Theater offers a menu OF
farce in two courses this week. John 1.
Sullivan leads the bill with his vaudeville
comedy, for which the program makes
Sidney Grundy responsible, entitled cap
tain Huntington" 1t is interesting In that
it enables Mr.. Sullivan's admirers to see
him in an unfamiliar environment MT.
Sullivan's ideas of comedy in this instance
are obviously affected by a season on the
vaudeville stage, where emphatic enects
are supposed to be essential The perform
ance of "Gloriane" displayed Miss Johnson
to as much advantage as any part she mas
had this season. The audience was liberal
IN it's demonstrations of approval.

AN INDEX TO THE CODE.

Mr.. Torbert's Compilation Under the
Bar Associations Auspices.
Mr.. William S. Torbert of the District
bar has prepared and published a compre-
hensive index to the code of laws for the
District of Columbia. The volume Is a
small one of about ninety double column
pages, and contains within its covers a ref
erence to every provision Of the code.
The work of indeXing complicated an
instrument has been a difficult one, and the
result in this instance reflects much credit
on the indexer. There are more than $3.50
references which the indexer has found nee
essary to point out the provisions of the
law. The subject of negotiable instruments
alone is covered by some $50 references,
and in this respect, as in others, the index
is very comprehensive. The index is pub
lished under the direction of the Bar Asso-
citation,

THEY APPEALTTO COURT
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS TO TEST
THE REGULATIONS.
Carl ]. Lockwood Appies for Writ Of
Injunction Against reinforcement
Of New sRules.

The Supreme Court of the District Of CO.
lumbia was today petitioned by Carl J.
Lockwood, who is said to represent those au-
tomobilists who are opposed to the proposed
horseless vehicle regulations, to enjoin the
District of Columbia and the District Com
missioners from putting in force the new
regulations which, 1t has been announced
will become effective the 7th instant. The
bill of complaint was filed through Attor-
neys Wilton ]. Lambert and d. w. Baker,
who appeared as counsel for Erskine M
Sunderland the owner, who was convicted
yesterday in the Police Court of violating
the speed regulations with his automobile,
and fined $40.
is engaged in the automobile business and
he declares but for the proposed regula-
tons he could earn upwad of $500 per
month He adds that he is the owner OF an
automobile and has property rights in the
business and in the right to run the ma
chimes upon the public streets of Washing
ton. The automobile business, he asserts,
Is staple one and cannot be interfered
with without authority of law. Others, in
addition to the complainant, have estab-
lished such business, Mr.. Lockwood goes
on to say and recently hue and cry was
raised against the owners and agents of
such machines and the Commissioners are
about to promulgate certain unlawful and
unconstitutional regulations against those
engaged in the business.
Acts of Congress Referred To.
The several acts of Congress from 1874
and 1878. establishing the present form of
government and empowering the Commits
sio1ers to make reasonable and usual po-
lice regulations, are referred to, and 1t is
alleged article "a, embodying the new
regulations, is an attempt on the part OF
the commissioners to pass general leglsla-
ton discriminating between motor ma
chimes and other vehicles, which, 1t is
claimed, Is beyond the power of the Com
missioners and In violation of the constitu-
tlonal rights of the people of the District
The Commissioners, 1t is asserted, have
exhausted their power in the regulations
heretofore made upon the subject and the
regulation requiring the machines to be
numbered, and constituting board Of ex-
aminers, Is specifically attacked as unrea-
sonable, unjust and unlawful. 1t is at
tempted to be pointed out that the num-
bering will not only not serve any good
purpose, but will tend to prevent the owners
from loaning or returning their machines or
having the full and proper use they are
entitled to have of their private property.
Further, 1t Is argued that the require
ment for a permit to use the machines will
deter persons from purchasing automobiles
anu will interfere with the trial of the same
by prospective buyers, all of which, it is
declared, will greatly damage the COM
plainant. The court is asked to restrain the
enforcement of the regulations pendente
lite and permanently.
