the kind of weather San Francisco
would have during the conclave. Pro-
fessor Meade said that according to
preceding years the weather would be
ideal, but that this was an abnormal
year and it was hard to say what we
would get. The Weather Bureau will
do its best to supply the right kind.

connection with the Weather Bureau
work during conclave week will be the
receiving of weather reports from Lon

Philippine Islands. This will be the
first time in Weather Bureau history
that so extensive a portion of the

GIVES NOTICE OF APPEAL.
Hotel Proprietor Fined for Obstructing
Street With Automobiles.

Judge Strider gave his decision this morn
ing in the case of Samuel Gassenheimer,
proprietor of the Lawrence Hotel, who was
recently tried on a charge of unnecessarily
obstructing the street with his automobiles.
Hack Inspector Lamb filed the complaint
in the case and Attorney d. w. Baker APP
peared at the trial as counsel for the de-
PENDANT. The automobiles are regularly Ii
censed it is said and are kept in front of
the hotel 1t was not contended that they
were kept there for the exclusive use of the
guests of the hotel, and the prosecution
claimed that this put them upon a footing
with other licensed vehicles. In disposing
of the case Judge Strider said:
1.-The defendant in this case is charged
with unnecessarily obstructing the free
passageway of the street, hindering ana
delaying traffic thereon. The evidence ad-
duced disclosed that the defendant is the
proprietor of hotel; that he is also the
owner of an automobile, for which he has
duly obtained a license under the police
regulations, which is let for hire to any
one who may choose to pay the fee, and
which is kept standing In front of the said
hotel through the day whenever 1t Is not
in use. There is no difference in principle
between this case and that of the ordinary
cabman. The latter may not use the street

IF the defendant were using the auto

presented that the Court of Appeals of this
District disposed of in the case of the VIII

of Columbia. The court decided in that
case that hotel company had the right
to use the street adjoining its property for
the use of it's cabs when the latter were
used for the exclusive convenience of the
guests of the hotel.
This decision is binding upon this court,

The court thereupon imposed fine of 50

SPRING OPENING.

The spring millinery opening of Mrs. Etta Merrill Tuesday was a very successful affair in point of attendance and other particu- lars. The store was beautifully decorated in the matchless de- signing of Mrs. Merrill and Miss Wells. The walls were festooned with flowers and foliage, their bright colors giving a very springlike appearance to the rooms and made a beautiful back ground to the spring hats that were on exhibition. The display was of the highest interest to every lady in the city. The French and American ideas brought out in the hats reflect great credit upon Miss Wells, who is with Mrs. Merrill this sea- son. The evening was enlivened with music and despite the un- favorable weather large crowds were out.
