Mrs. Mary o'Brien, Of Williams.
burg, Unable to Understand
Why Her Little One Was Kid
mapped from Its Home.
SHE SUSPECTS TWO
MEN AND A WOMAN.
One Theory Is that the Child
Was Taken Away by Agent of
Husband, Who Was Sep
arated from Mother.

Why any one should want to steal
the secNn-months-old baby of Mary
o'Bricn, of No. 209 Harrison avenue.
Williamsburg, is as great juzzle to the
mother as to the Clymer street police
station officers and detectives. Since
the little one was Kidnapped on Monday
no clsw has ben found leading to the
whereabouts of the baby.
Mrs O'Brien works out as n laundress.
To an Evening World reporter she said ::
cannot understand why any one
should take my child. Mary is not an
heiress. 1 have no money to ransom
her. We are poor people and all my
timo is given UP to the support of my
self and my little ones. Whoever this
cruel person Is she should be punished
TO the extent of the law. have not
slept since little Mary was stolen. I
am In constant fear that harm will
come to the child"
On Monday night Mrs O'Brien rushed
Into the Clymer street station and told
Capt. Holohan about the theft of the
child. She declared that the baby had
been stolen by n woman and two men,
Mrs. O'Brien also said that she had been
married twice. having had two children
by her first husband. Her second hus-
band deserted her some time ago and
left her to support herself and the en-
tire family. which was augmented by
two children. the fruit OF the second
union.
The police are working on two theo-
ries. They think the baby might have
been stolen for panhandling operations.
or that 1t might have been taken by an
agent of the second husband OF Mrs.
oBrien. They say that. according to
the woman's story, the husband who
deserted her also took with him ono OF
their common children. No trace of
the woman the police have been looking
for has been discovered.
There are at present four detectives
working on the case.

avenue to Vermont avenue. The form of
condemnation proceedings is provided for.
Under the original provision of the high
way act steps were taken by the District
Commissioners for the condemnation of
the land necessary to extend Vermont ave-
was appropriated for the purpose and sub
sequently the act was amended and he
highway plans made void so far as they
affected existing subdivisions.
The opening of this avenue, 1t is stated,
will relieve the congestion of traffic at
Florida avenue and 7th street as two great
traction lines of the city intersect each
other at that point.
From White House to Soldiers Home.
There are about sixty small dwellings in
the line Of this extension, mostly frame.
with value of only 5000 or 500 each. The
removal of these houses, it is considered,
will greatly improve the section between
Garfield Hospital and Howard University,
commonly known as "Cowtown."
The extension will open a beautiful thor
oughfare from the White House through
the Howard University grounds TO the
driveway around the new reservoir, and
then to the Soldiers Home. The Commits
sionerS have estimated that the total cost
of this extension will be about S131 900.
The bill imposes one-half of this cost on
the adjacent property as benefits, leaving
the cost to be borne by the United States
and the District of Columbia jointly
amounting to $3.50
The Senate also passed Senate bill 2S1S.
to authorize the laying of water mains and
sewer service in the District and the levy
ing of assessments for that purpose The
bill is a long one, and has been approved
by the District Commissioners.

Der of the fasteners, can only be considered
by the jury in connection with the conten-
ton of the government that Machen was
unduly active in his conduct with reference
to the purchase of Croft fasteners.
After long argument it was decided to
instruct the jury that the granting of a
patent by the United States as matter of
law gives to the patentee the exclusive
of such patent he has a monopoly of the
invention embodied therein, and that he has
a perfect right to charge such price as he
may choose or dictate the terms upon
which the same should be put upon the
market, and. indeed, to withhold the sale
and use thereof if he should so desire; and
that the mere fact that the government is
a user of such invention does not in any
entee in the premises, provided the jury
believes no corrupt agreement was made by
the patentee or his agents with his know
ledge.

of Reorganization.

First Assistant Postmaster General Rob-
ert j. Wynne has gone to Chicago to con-
fer with other officials of the Post Office
Department in regard to general over
hauling of the post Office system in the
windy city. For some months officials of
the second assistant postmaster generals

the problems with which the department
is confronted in the matter of moving into
the new post Office building just about to
be completed in Chicago.
There is a plan to re-establish the sub
stations. and the matter of pneumatic
tubes and the use of the proposed Chicago
tunnel system has been looked into with
a view to utilizing it to relieve congestion
in the delivery and receipt of mails.
Chicago will have. after the impending
change, one of the most perfect posts3
systems in the world, 1t is said, and Mr.
Wynne preferred to be on the ground In
order to acquaint himself and his office
thoroughly with the details of the proposed
changes.

ROW MORNING AT 10 O'CLOCK.
Justice Pritchard Considers the Pray
ers for the Defense-The
Attorneys Present.

The entire session of Criminal Court No.
today was devoted to the consideration of
prayers for instructions counsel desire that
Justice Pritchard shall give the jury in the
trial of Machen and others on the charge
or conspiracy. Immediately after court
met this morning the government, offered
two prayers, in addition to those submitted
Saturday, but they were not granted for
the reason that the court had arranged to
cover fully in his charge the points raised
in the additional prayers.
Attention was next directed to the thirty
prayers prepared by the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, and the remainder of the day
was devoted to the consideration of them.
1t is hoped that counsel will be able to be-
gin their summing up addresses to the jury
tomorrow morning.
AS was the case Saturday, the proceed
ings today Were tedious and utterly devoid
of interest to those spectators who are not
lawyers. Points of law only we've scussed.
The jury, shortly after 10 o'clock, when
court met was excused until 80 O'Clock,
and at the latter hour was permitted to de-
part until tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock,
counsel for the defense at midday express
ing the opinion that they expected to finish
the consideration of the prayers by the time
of adjournment this afternoon.
Attorneys Conrad Syme and E. Scott
Douglass did most of the work of present.

Attorney Holmes Conrad who was absent
Saturday, made his temperance in court
this morning. Assistant Attorney General
Purdy, however, was away today He will
make the opening address to the jury.
Mrs. Lorenz, who was acquitted by direc-
ton of Justice Pritchard last Friday, and
who absented herself from the court room
Saturday, also remained away today.

COURT ON SATURDAYS.
Question of Legal Holiday to Be De-
cided

The question of holding court after ~
o'clock on Saturday is to be called to the
attention of the justices of the District Su-
preme Court at their next meeting. Lately
some branches of the court have been hold
ing hearings after noon on Saturdays and
it is desirable that some general rule be
adopted as these hearings, sometimes held
without sufficient notice to attorneys, put
the members of the bar to great inconveni-
ence.
The Saturday half holiday was inaugu-
rated at the city hall in June 1901 and was
supposed to have been intended for the
summer months. but when the code was
compiled the order was incorporated into
it and became law. The section of the
code as to the half holiday is explicit and
leaves no doubt that after noon all Sat
urdays are legal holidays in the District.

DISTRICT BILLS PASS
SENATE ACTS FAVORABLY ON
LOCAL MEASURES.
Extension Of Several Streets and
Avenues Authorized by To-
days Legislation.

The Senate today passed several Senate
bills relating to the District of Columbia.
Senate resolution No. 5, to enlarge the
scope of the highway act approved March
g 1893. 1t provides that all the powers
given to the Commissioners and others
under the highway acts shall apply to and
be capable of being exercised upon and
through Beatty and Hawkins addition to
Georgetown, where 1t may be necessary to
connect streets in parts of the District lying
outside of cities. or to connect any street
in the city with streets in the District.
When the present highway extension plans
were prepared. the law required that pro-
posed streets under that plan should be
outside the city limits
1t was not therefore possible to include
under that law Beatty and Hawkins adj
d1tion to Georgetown within these terms.
The purpose of this resolution is to remedy
that defect: 1t is understood that when the
proposed streets are laid out through this
subdivision many of them will be dedi-
Gated as their opening is necessary for the
development of the property in that subdi-
vision.
Euclid Place and Erie Street.
The Senate also passed Senate bill 2124 to
connect Euclid place with Erie street This
street will be extended through lot of
University Park subdivision and lots IA and
Is Of Hall & Elvan's subdivision of Meridian
Hill, with a width Of fifty feet. The bill pro-
vides for the manner of condemnation pro-
ceedings and appropriates $500 for the cost
and expenses of such proceedings. The
cost of this extension with a width of
fifty feet Is estimated by the Commissioners
at $2OOOO. and the grading, curbing>and paw
ing with asphalt at IS COO The extension
of this street was included in the first sec
ton, the highway extension plan as orig
inally recorded, which, however, was later
omit changes in existing subdivisions, SO
that the part of the street in question is
not shown on these plans.
The extension is regarded as needed i'm
provement as there is at present no street
connection between Columbia Heights and
Meridian Hill from Chaplin street northward
to Columbia road, distance of about half
a mile The extension would afford an east
and west connection from 7th street west
ward to Rock creek There are no improve
ments in the line of the extension.
To Extend Vermont Avenue.
The bill for the extension of Vermont
avenue from Florida avenue to Howard
University being Senate bin 1924, was also
passed today. 1t provides that within sixty
days from the passage of the act the Com
missioners shall begin condemnation pro-
ceedings for this extension for the uniform
width of 100 feet to Brightwood avenue,
thence with the same width, in an eaSterly
direction, to Howard University or 9th
street, the north line Of this extension, be-
tween 9th and 7th streets, being coincident
with the north line of Howard avenue IN

DEAR SIR:-I regret that absence
from the city has prevented my
earlier acknowledgements Of your
letter of the 27th ultimo. l rem
dered an option on certain water
matters to the trustees of the town
of La Junsa in August. 1909.
There were number Of personal
consultations regarding the mat
ter, and after the present council
came into Office, went over the
situation again with the mayor.
and in April. 1903. spent some
hours at La Junta in discussing
the subject with a number Of the
councilmen who had come togeth
er for that purpose.
There has been 4 great deal OF
delay, however, in the settlement
of my agreed compensation in ths
matter. aud quite recently have
received letter from the present
city clerk to the effect that the
council does not have copy OF
the opinion and finds no record
authorizing the services. Under
the circumstances, however, it is
clear to me that there is some
present error on the subject. and
that it will all be Strengthened out.
Yours truly,
