A UNIQUE Window.

recent neckwear display at Parker
Bridget & Co.'S ;hat has attracted much at
tention and won unqualified approval, was
the result Of the combined efforts OF Mr.
NJ. M. Brown, the head of the mems fur
nishings department, and Mr.. James H.
johnson, who has charge of the window and
store displays.
The hundreds who passed along the ave-
nue. between 9Th and 9th the latter part of
last week will remember the Pumkin Brown
window IS one OF the clevereSt and most
harmonious displays yet worked out In
Washington store. The Halloween Pump
kins decorated with ribbons of like color,
the squirrels, birds, flowers and autumn
leaves furnished unique and beautiful set
ting for the real business part Of the dis
rlay-the Pumpkin, Brown neckwear. Pas
se1sby instinctively paused and doubtless
commented on the art that has developed in
recent years in the waygof window decora-
ton. 1t wasn't so very long ago when goods
displayed in window were considered of
value only to show the kind of business
carried on inside-dry goods, carpets, cloth
ing, shoes, etc., as the case may be.
Little attempt at pleasing arrangement
was made and displays often remained I'M
changed from one months end to the other.
Now it's an art. In a store such as Parker,
Bridget & Co $ 1t is considered one of the
most important factors in attracting bust
reSS.

GAME IN ROCK CREEK PARK.
Flock of Wild Turkeys Roaming the
Woods There.

Those who have been agitating the mat
ter of stocking Rock Creek Park with small
game were gratified recently to learn that
a flock of wild turkeys had been discovered
there, the acquisition having been made In
a most unexpected way.
Two years ago the government procured
for the Geological Park three wild turkey
hens and one gobbler. They were permitted
to roam at will in the park. This year there
was quite an addition to the number; and
one day the old birds flew over the fence
and the young birds crawled under it. The
flock has since made a home in Rock Creek
Park, and the young ones are said to be
thriving The incident is regarded as an
omen of hope, and those who favor the
movement to have the park made the home
of birds and small animals are encouraged.

grancy Before Police Judge.
Two elderly men whose conditions made
1t apparent that they should have been In
a hospital instead of in police cell were
prisoners In Judge ONears court this
morning. Charges Of vagrancy had been
preferred against them after they had re-
quested aid.
One of the men gave his name as John
Trainley, and his appearance made 1t ap-
parent that he had long outlived the al
lotted period Of threescore years and ten.
1t was with dificulty that the aged man
hobbled to the rail and responded mot
guilty to a charge Of vagrancy.
Il met this old man yesterday, and he
told me he wasswithout home or friends"
Policeman Narrower stated. II asked him
where he had slept the previous night, and
he said he built a fire in the woods and
slept there"
Have you anything to say?" the sick
man was asked.
"Only that would like to be sent to the
hospital" was the feeble response.
A sentence Of thirty days was imposed,
and the court directed that hospital treat
ment be suggested.
The other man, who was also in need Of
hospital treatment. gave him name as Ar
thur Bingham. He admitted that his con-
dition was brought about by strong drink
His head was cut and his eye badly injured
Policeman Long was the prosecuting wit
ness in the case. Bingham requested the
officer to assist him in getting hospital
treatment.
i've been drinking" he said, land would
like to go where I can get the wounds
dressed"
He was given a sentence of two months,
with a recommendation that he be given
treatment in the hospital.

RAID CHEVY CHASE CLUB.
Officers Of Montgomery County Charge
Violation of Local Option Law.

Officers Of Montgomery County Cnarge
Violation Of Local Option Law.
Deputy Sheriff George w. Mullican and
Constable Edward Bradley Of Montgomery
county, Nd, swooped down on the Chevy
Chase Club with search warrant yester-
day and raided the place. in the belief, 1t
was stated. that liquor was being sold in
violation Of the local option law. The
raid was without warning, and the officers
Of the law are said to have secured large
quantity Of liquor of various kinds. Upon
the announcement by the officers of their
mission every help was given them by the
club managers present.
1t is understood the Chevy Chase Club
has United States internal revenue Ii
cense for the sale of liquors, but notwith-
standing, this license, the officials of the
county held, did not prevent the sale OF
liquor from being violation of the local
option law of Montgomery county. 1t was
decided to make the raid and fight the
question out in the courts.
1T is held by officers of the club that no
sales of liquors are made, but that all the
drinking done out there is from bottles
owned by the individual taking the drink.
The Chevy Chase Club numbers among
its membership some of the most prom1-
nent men at the national capital, including
members of the United States Supreme
Court and the diplomatic corps, senators,
representatives and others high in public
life, besides residential leaders in business
and social life
Among the clubs members is Mr.. Arthur
Peter of this city and brother of States
Attorney Peter of Montgomery county. He
has been retained by the club as it's coun-
sci in the impending litigation, and the
trial of the case will present the unusual
spectacle of brothers pitted against each
other as attorneys at bar.
Threats have been made from time to
time that the playing of Sunday golf on
the Chevy Chase links would be stopped by
the Montgomery law officers on the ground
that it involved unnecessary Sunday labor
for the caddies. No match games are
played on Sundays, but many of the mem
bers whose business does not admit Of
play on week days have made a practice Of
going the rounds of the links on Sunday.
Prosecution on this score at any time
would not surprise members of the club.

stated that the defendants car was pro-
PEELED along New York avenue yesterday
morning at an excessive rate of speed. The

these conditions, he stated, there was no
reason for him to speed his car
Supt. Lowery told the court that he was
on the car, and he felt satisfied the law
was not violated. Attorney Hoover ar
gued for an acquittal, claiming that the
speedometer may have been out of order.
