DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.
Shippers Allegations Filed With In
terstate Commission.

John H. Parks, grain shipper and coal
dealer at New Holland, Ohio, has filed with
the Interstate commerce commission COM
plant against the Cincinnati and Muskin-
gum Valley railroad commission alleging
that the road does not make fair division
of grain cars between the two grain ele-
vators a. New Holland, one Of which is
owned by the complainant and the other by
a competitor. Discrimination also is charged
in the matter Of unloading coal at New
Holland.
The G. s. Bell Company Of Hillsboro, Ohio,
has filed a complaint against the Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern and the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company, alleging that
the roads have adopted a power of attor-
ney' practice in Cincinnati which is alleged
to be an excuse for relieving the shippers Of
that city from the restrictions Of rule now
in force on the lines against consolidating
less than carload shipments so as to make
a carload shipment. The complaint says
that the power of attorney practice.
which practically nullifies the rule men
toned at Cincinnati, is denied to the Hills
boro shippers and is discriminative.

Gle, Tumble Over Cliff.

Gle, Tumble Over Cliff.
A horse attached to a vehicle belonging
to William Tate, who resides on the Con-
duit road, which was left unmatched near
the corner Of 18th and H streets northeast
about noon yesterday, was taken possession
of by Raymond Welty, nine-year-old boy,
who lives with his parents nearby. At hrst
he only drove around the block and then
the thought struck him that it would be
great sport to take trip to the Geological
Park. This he did. A stop was made in
the northwestern section Of the city for
boy friend
The rain did not dampen their spirits.
and, after a drive around the city. the zoo
was reached about 3 o'clock. They were
unable to control the speed OF the animal
while going down a hill leading into the
park, and the boys; horse and rig went to-
gether over cliff about fifteen feet high.
Policeman r. L.. Carroll, who happened
to be in the vicinity. witnessed the fall and
went to the rescue of the boys, who were
found to be uninjured. The horse, which
was injured about the legs and breast, was
taken to the tenth precinct police station,
where 1t was later identified by Mr.. Tate,
who missed it soon after it had been taken.
Raymond was taken into custody.

PERMIT FOR CONDUIT.
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company Files Application.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company has requested permission of the
Commissioners to build a conduit on Pros
pect street between 32d and Both streets, In
Georgetown. This will be a six-duct con-
duit. designed to run from the east curb OF
32d street and Prospect avenue west along
the avenue to the manhole proposed to be
located five feet west of the east curb OF
Potomac street; thence along Prospect
street to a four-duct conduit to q proposed
manhole to be located on 35th street; thence
in q southwesterly direction to a point south
Of the south curb of Prospect street, and
west along this line to another proposed
manhole to be located west Of the east curb
Of Both street.
An inspector Of the sewer division, in re-
porting upon the application, states that
there Is no reason given by the company
for their request for permission to construct
six manholes with thirty-inch openings, in
stead OF the standard size, with twenty-six-
1nch openings. He recommends that the
standard size be used. The company may
make special application to increase the
size OF these manholes and to use thirty
inch opening, stating the necessity therefor.
Streets are not to be opened unless cross
ings are provided Of sufficient width for
two teams to pass. The covers Of the man.
holes must be Of an approved pattern, filled
with asphalt composition and cast flush.
Before commencing the work the company
must notify the office of sewers In ample
time to provide an inspector to supervise
the construction of the conduit.

Differences Anicably Adjusted.

1t Is claimed by Mr.. J. B. Tally that the
report published In the Philadelphia news
papers to the effect that he was locked up
in central station in Philadelphia last Fri
day night, charged with assault and bat
terry and threatening to kill his wife, in
the Hotel Windsor in that city, Is almost
altogether incorrect. According to the pub
lished report of the affairs Mrs. Tally, with
her eighteen-months-old baby and maid,
took a room at the Windsor several days
ago. Friday night, SO the account runs,
Mr.. Tally went to the hotel, entered his
wife's room, and was choking her when
the special policeman arrived and inter-
rupted the proceeding. Mr.. Talty's YER
sion of the affair is to the effect that while
in his wife's room the nurse maid slapped
the baby, and he demanded that she be
discharged His wife refused to dismiss
the maid, saying che could not do without
her, and disturbance arose. The result
was he was arrested, but the following
morning he was released and he and Mrs.
Tally amicably adjusted their differences.

ton. She visited the drug store as soon

some IMMINENT.
Mrs. Miller returned home and found her
husband lying across the bed. He was un-
conscious and the wife summoned assist
ance. When the hospital was reached the
physicians found 1t necessary to resort to
artificial means Of respiration. Two hours

MURDERER STILL AT LARGE.
Waterbury Citizens Hunting Man Who
Shot Policeman Mendelsohn.

WATERBURY. Conn. March 9.LThe
search for the murderer of Policeman Paul
Mendelsohn, who was slain by one Of the
shots fired by the party Of masked men In
their attack upon a trolley car last evening,
was renewed today after a posse of police
had spent most OF the night securing the
region about Forest Park unsuccessfully.
As far as Is known, the detectives have not
secured any clue to the perpetrators Of the
crime. 1t is believed that Conductor We
berndorfer and Motorman Chambers, both
OF whom were wounded In the attack upon
their car, Will be able to resume work
shortly.
Excitement runs high over the killing Of
the policeman. which Is regarded as the eli
max OF the disturbances which have accom-
panied the strike of the street rail way con-
ductors and motormen. Early today lead
ers OF the strike gave out interviews in
which they declared that the union would
offer a reward for information leading to
the detection OF the men concerned In last
nights violence.

IN BAD CONDITION,
Mr.. W. E. Chambers Comment on q
18th Street Sidewalk.

Mr.. William E. Chandler president of
the Spanish treaty claims commission, has
written to the District Commissioners re-
questing that personal examination be
made by them Of the sidewalk and parking
on H and 18th streets around old ST. Mat
thew's Church.
II ask that the Commissioners will take
steps, he writes, ''to have the iron fence
around the church moved back to the
building line, the space cleared Of dirt and
the sidewalk relaid. Steps should be taken
to have the sidewalk, hooks and corners in
front and on the side of the church kept
clean. For thirty years / have walked al
most daily over the sidewalk on 18th street
between H and I streets on the east side,
and I can truly say that I know of no
sidewalk in the center Of any city in the
world which Is SO bad as that sidewalk has
been all this time The bricks seem to
have been always laid in earth instead of
these bricks sink and the sidewalk be-
comes basin filling with water which
remains for hours and often for days. A
raft or boat is sometimes almost neces-
Sary to get from H to I street.
Thinking that with each new accession
to the board of District Commissioners in
creased intelligence would come, and that
vigilance and industry would lead to the
laying of a new sidewalk. refrained from
making a complaint before this. But my
hopes have been in vain. Any improve
ment in the District board has been ac-
companied by steady deterioration of the
sidewalk, and within the last year or two
the parking at the side of the church has
become a nuisance"
COL John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner, says he has long been familiar with
the existing conditions. The Enclosure
around the church is dirty with papers and
trash. and the church authorities will be
requested to keep it clean, AS to the side
walks, Col. Biddle says, it has only been
within year that it has been possible
under the law to require church property
to pay assessments for laying sidewalks.
There are a large number Of sidewalks
in the lower part of the city paved with
brick which should be replaced with a
modern pavement Of cement. This is now
being done. The amount of the appropri-
atoms up to date has not been sufficient
to extend sidewalks into the new portions
Of the city as fast as houses were built.
and also to replace old sidewalks The
policy has now been adopted, however, of
replacing these old walks as soon as prac-
ticable, and the special case herein re-
ferred to will be considered. Mr.. Chan
dler will be SO informed.

FEAST. OF PURIM.
Hebrews to Begin Celebration Thurs
day Evening Next.


The Hebrews Of the city will begin the
celebration Of the feast Of Purim next
Thursday evening, when special religious
services will be held in the synagogues, be-
ginning at $50 o'clock. Services win also
be held Friday morning in the various He
brew houses of wBrship, beginning at about
$50 o'clock. The afternoon of that day
and all of Saturday will be devoted to mer-
riment, when presents are exchanged
among friends and gifts are made to the
poor.
Purim is am annual festival Of the Jews
and was institutedsrby Mordecai to COM
memorate the edelixsrance Of the Jews in
Persia from destruction. with which, ac-
cording to the we'll known biblical story,
they were threatened through the maohna-
lions Of Hannah, prime minister to King
Ahasuerus. Hannah cast lots In order to
determine the day upon which this destruc-
ton of the Jews was to begin, and from
that incident the event has been called
Purim, which signifies lots.
In accordance with the traditions of the
race the day appointed for the massacre
was the 18th Of Adar, which is celebrated
as the fast Of Esther. This fast precedes
the celebration of Purim, which occurs the
14th and 18TH OF Adar In the event the
takes place the Thursday previous, as no
fasting is allowed on this sacred day, nor
on the preparation day for the Sabbath.
The ceremonies attending the observance
Of the fast of Esther, particularly among
the orthodox Jews, are considered very In
teresting. The men, women and children
gather in the synagogues in the evening
and, after brief service, the Book of
Esther is read. At every mention of the
name "Haman" In the reading the members
of the congregation say: Let his name
be blotted ONT! The name Of the wicked
shall rot while the children spring rat
ties and stamp on the floor.
The following morning service exactly
similar to that of the evening before IS
held, and the remainder of the day and OF
the day following Is given over to merr!-
ment The Book OF Esther is usually read
in Hebrew.

couRT-MART1A1 ORDERED.
Commissary Steward Edds Charged
With Questionable Practices.

The Navy Department has ordered
court-martial for the trial Of George Edds,
a commissary steward who has been sta
toned at the naval training station, Coast
ers Harbor Island. r. l., for about fifteen
years, on the general charge Of misconduct
in connection with the purchase of sup
plies for the training school, His methods
have been under surveillance for several
weeks past, and it is alleged that he has
been engaged in questionable practices for
many years past.
Edds had charge of the purchase of the
rations for the boys at the training school,
and it is said, he exacted a commission
from the merchants with whom he dealt
with the result that the boys had to pay
more for their rations than they actually
cost in the open market. The actual
amount involved in the transactions is not
known, but 1t is believed to be quite heavy,
as they cover long period Of time.
