COURT HEARS ARGUMENTS.
Case Of Charles E. Meyers Against
Humane Society,


Arguments were made today before Jus
tice Gould, in Equity Court No. 2, in con-
nection with the proceedings for injunction
instituted November Is last by Charles E.
Myers against the Washington Humane
Society and it's agents, Joseph r. Rabbit
and William R. Haynes. Mr.. Myers con-
tends that the defendants have harassed
quently, and without just cause. causing his
arrest on the charge of cruelty to animals.
He alleges that If he was compelled to
properly defend every action brought
against him In the Police Court a multi
plicity of suits would result. He takes the
view that he is entitled to the Intervention
his property rights are affected because of
the alleged determination of the defend
ants to continue stopping his teams while
on the streets.
The defendants have presented a de-
murrer to the bill of complaint They as
sert that the Equity Court is without
jurisdiction in the matter. for the reason
that an equity court cannot restrain a
criminal proceeding over which the Police
Court has Jurisdiction, and that the COM
pla1nant cannot attack the corporate ex-
istence Of the society.
Justice Hagner several weeks ago de-
cllned to issue a rule requiring the de-
PENDANTS to show cause why a temporary
restraining order should not be signed
The Judge took the view that he had no
jurisdiction in the matter called to his
attention.
Attorney Thomas M. Fields represented
the complainant in court today, while At
torneys Alex. Wolf and D. w Baker an

woODLEY LANE IMPROVEMENT
Request Made by Cathedral Heights
Citizens Association,

The Cathedral Heights Citizens Associa-
ton has requested of the Commissioners
the improvement of Woodley road west of
Wisconsin avenue, and that the appropria-
ton of $4,000 available for Wisconsin ave-
nue. be applied to cutting down the grade
between 31th street and Massachusetts
avenue. After receiving reports upon the
papers from various officials of the en-
gineer department, Col. Biddle the En-
gineer Commissioner, has suggested that
the citizens association be informed that
the exact change of grade on Wisconsin
avenue between 37th street and Massa-
chusetts avenue has not yet been deter
mined. The estimate, according to the
various plans. will vary from 5000 to
SOC. 600 In each case 1t is greater than
the present amount appropriated, $4,000
1t is therefore believed 1T would not be a
good plan to start in to cutting down 80
important a street as this until the full
amount is appropriated. 1t is probable
that the $4,000 now on hand will be used
for the improvement of Wisconsin avenue
where the conditions are bad.
Woodiey road will be improved from
time to time with gravel, which, under
ordinary circumstances, gives q fairly
good road. There are so many parts of
the District that are more Travelled than
this where the roads need to be macadam-
lied that 1t hardly seems possible to ma
cadamize Woodley lane this year.

RESIGNATION AND PROMOTION.
Change Expected at Station B Of the
CITY Post Office.

The resignation Of Mr.. Benjamin Park
hurst. superintendent Of station B Of the
city post Office. at the corner OF East Capt.
toll and 4th streets. was received by Post
master Merritt Saturday night and will
probably be accepted. The Indications are
that Mr. Jas. F. Harvey, who has been con-
nected with station B for number Of years
past, will be promoted to fill the vacancy.
The resignation Of Mr.. Parkhurst was for
warded to the postmaster after charges had
been filed against him and at the time
when the postmaster had suspended Mr..
Parkhurst from duty and had cited him to
make answer to the charges or be dismissed
from the service.
Mr. Parkhurst has been connected with
the local post Office service for twenty-three
years, and was regarded by all who knew
him as a capable official Before coming to
Washington he was connected with the
New York post Office, and after his trans
fer here he rapidly rose in the service until
he attained the position OF superintendent

hurst frequently demonstrated his ability
to handle the office force and administer the
affairs of his office. When the post office
was moved from the old G street building
and branch station was established there
Mr.. Parkhurst was appointed super1ntend-
emit. This was regarded as one of the most
important stations in the city, and its bust
ness prospered under Mr. Parkhursts ad-

him while in this position, however, based
on conduct unbecomIng q gentleman and
an omcial OF the post Office. He was cited
TO answer the charges on two occasions,
but by the representation of his friends
was retained in the service. From time to
time rumors of the conduct OF the super1n-
tendent reached the ears Of the postmaster,
and as result Of these rirnors Mr.. Merritt
transferred Parkhurst from station G to
station B on the occasion Of the resignation
OF former SUPPLEMENTARY Dove. While IN
charge of the latter Office the superintend-
ent attended strictly TO business and the
postmaster was led to believe that his old
lapses had been forgotten However, last
week Mr.. Merritt was again Informed of
charges against the superintendent, and
Friday he sent for Nh. Pafkhurst and had
long talk with hiff.t Afterward post
office inspector heard of the superintend-
ents misdoings and formal charges were
made out. Parkhurst was suspended. from
his position and was given until April to
make answer to the charges. When the official
of the department visited station B to present
copy OF the charges and the order OF sus-
pension to the superintendent the latter
handed him his resignation, which he re-
