one TO three feet deep. The motorists

In regard TO the rigid fashion I'm which
the speed ordinance is being enforced
in the District. a good story is told
on one of the Commissioners. who re-
Gently took a trip down Pennsylvania
Avenue at the rate OF almost a mile a
minute In fact the trip broke all
records for speed in the District. Capt

in Washington not long ago. coming
here In a sixty-horsepower Panhard, a
machine capable of making seventy
FIVE miles an hour on smooth ground.
The commissioner took one ride in the
machine and then speed was suggested.
The Commissioner said he would like
TO see Just how fast the machine could
go. Captain Green offered TO make a
test IL guaranteed against arrest. The
pledge was given, and after IL O'Clock
one night not so long ago. the trip took
place. The great machine was softly
wheeled out into the Avenue. II was
aimed at the Peace Monument, and
away she went. Belated pedestrians
saw great blurred streak go By. and
wondered IL a meteor had shot down

Fighting for a Name.

IL was said yesterday that the attempt
to compel the Edison Automobile Com
pany 10 change its name has failed The
matter IS in court on injunction proceed
ings, instituted by T. Leslie Edison, a
son OF the famous inventor. 1t seems
that with several well-known local bust
ness men he organized the company. The
local men invested money, built up a
good trade and all was going well when
the famous inventor. and father Of Les
lie discovered what had happened. He
had had considerable trouble with Tom,
jr. who had been using the family name
for his own benefit. had married an &C
tress against his fathers wishes. and
was compelled to change his course. The
inventor tired of this sort of thing,
peremptorily ordered Leslie TO change
the company's name, on the pain of be-
ing disinherited. Leslie tried to obey,
and brought the injunction proceedings,
The company fought the proceedings,
and 1t Is said il has won.
We have no desire TO use the name
any more than Smith, said an officer
of the company yesterday. but we have
built up big business as we are. and
we do not care to change the name, as
it might entail a loss
