uce Wright denied his petition asking
that he be released from jail where he
Was confined on Monday for contempt
of court.

milton of what the action Of the court
would be on his petition. While he and
his counsel. Messrs Lambert g. Baker

will come too soon now for my good"
His fears proved TO be true.

tice Wright on Monday last for con-
tempt of court His Offense was that on
Saturday Moss shouted to the members

Wright. and after full hearing Moss
to be imprisoned in the District Jail for
ten days and pay a fine of $25. and the
costs of the proceedings.
Late yesterday afternoon Moss asked
to be released from jail on habeas cor
pUs proceedings. He contended that the
court had no Jurisdiction TO punish the
alleged offense because II did not take
place in the presence OF the court. and
again because the court exceeded its
Jurisdiction in imposing both a fine and
IMPRISONMENT as a penalty.

represented by Assistant District At
toriIey Jesse Atkins who in his return
to the writ contended that Moss was
properly committed to Jail. To this re-
turf, counsel for Moss Ndemurred. The
demurrer was overruIed. and the writ
dismissed

ton Justice Wright also denied.

"A substantially similar measure was

Offices of the District government should

cable TO those covering the successful
conduct Of other large business inter-
ests. These considerations apply in
even higher degree to the District ser
vice than to that of other municipalities.

Scores OF women shoppers were I'm the
store and many more were in the street
waiting to get in when a pet cat, car
rying a large rat. made her way to the
door and stood waiting for an oppor-
tunity to get in where the fashionably
dressed women were buying dainty con-
fections.
With shrieks that could be heard for
three squares the crowd of women on
the outside fell back from the door. The
women on the inside were attracted to
the door by the confusion but spied the
cat. or rather the rat. before the door
was opened.
Umbrellas were poked at the cat by
women who were anxious to enter the
shop. but without avail. She held the
rat against the door and waited for an
opportunity TO enter. paying no atten-
ton to the coaxing and pleading and
scoldin-.

RICHARDS WISH
 ID PLEAD GUILTY
There Was Wish Also to Burden a
 Telephone Pole With Him.

The preliminary trial of Richard Rich ards. charged with a criminal assault on little nine-year-old Gertrude Stew art, was completed in Justice Burnetts court yesterday. The examination had been set for the morning. So much pub licity had been given to it and at the same time there had been so much threatening, that it was decided at the latest moment that the old man should not be brought down until the latest hour.
 He came down trembling and terror ized He wanted to plead guilty as he had desired to plead on his arraign- ment the day before. It was insisted though. that some testimony for the territory be introduced. The little girl was put on the stand and that set tied it.
 Richards said that he hoped that he might die at once; a telephone string ing, he said, was too good for him. There were a number of people inclined to take the old man at his word and make him ornament a telephone pole.
 Others, though, insisted on the majes- .ty of the law and he was allowed to be taken back to jail.
 He will perhaps spend the rest of his life in prison.
