ENLARGING ITS SCOPE.
The Children's Country Home to Be
Given More Room.

The lady managers of the Children's
Country Home, finding their building mad
eouate to meet the growing demand made
by the poor children of Washington for
two weeks respite from the heat OF the
summer, are making efforts to secure con-
tributions to a fund for the enlargement OF
tie building prior to the coming OF hot
weather. 1t is estimated that the additions
contemplated this year will cost in the
neiebborhood of 5000, and toward this
amount the sum of 800 has already been
subscribed.
The summer is always a trying period for
the children, and when the home conditions
are bad the natural drain upon the vitality
is added to MANIFOLD. The country nome.
/. .erefore. appeals to all who are Interested
in the beneficiaries. 1t is the purpose of the
home to take as many as possible of these
rhijdren to the country for brief breath
ing spell and romp in the pure fresh air.
Many little lives nave undoubtedly been
saved in this way. The appeal for SUBJ
sc options is a general one

CONDITIONAL LICENSE.
Commissioners May Recall It if
Vehicles Damage Paving.

In the matter of granting a license to the
Auto Transit Company to operate an cleo
trio automobile for carrying sightSeers
about the city Col. Bidde has made ia
vorable recommendation, but stipulates
that the District Commissioners shall re-
serve the authority to recall the license in
case the vehicle should cause damage to the
asphalt pavements during the hot weather.
Col. Biddle states that for year past he
has been observing the effect of automobiles
upon the asphalt payements of the city to
determine whether or not the payementS
are damaged by the horseless vehicles. The
ordinary cars, he says. thus far have not
damaged the pavements. but in the warm
weather when the asphalt becomes soft. he
is apprehensive lest the large cars might
tear up the sheet asphalt. The proviso
noted with reference to the permit for the
Auto Transit Company, he states. will APP
ply to all large automobiles. There are a
number of large horseless vehicles in the
city, some of which are used for draying
purposes and in the event damage to the
pavements results from the operation of
these vehicles. it is said that their licenses
will be recalled.
ut is not the weight of the automobiles
that might cause the damage" said Col.
Biddle, but it is the tremendous pulling of
the wheels upon the asphalt caused by the
manner of locomotion. In warm weather Ii
Is possible that the action of the wheels
upon the pavement might tear up the sheet
asphalt and cause considerable damage"

Fined for Assault and Battery.

Noble Hurdle was arraigned before Judge
Scott this morning on a charge of assault
and battery. The charge was filed on COM
plant of Mr.. Mason n. Richardson, Hurdle
being an uncle of Mrs. Richardson, and the
court after hearing the statements of ali
parties concerned imposed fine of $500
on Hurdle, giving him the privilege of
spending 1854 days in jail as the equiva-
lent.
Mr.. Richardson, who is a member of the
District bar, explained that Hurdle had
been annoying him and the members of his
family for several months and that his con-
duct and actions were such that he was
afraid to leave the members of his family
at home alone. Hurdle, he said. appeared
on the opposite side of the street from his
home 1862 Wyoming avenue, yesterday
morning, and on seeing him in the window
took from his pocket putty knife. which
he sharpened on the curbstone. When he
left the house a short time later to come
down town Hurdle approached him and
pulled out the knife and held it in the air
in threatening attitude. Several work
men who were engaged near by were called
and they disarmed Hurdle. holding him
until the arrival of Policeman Hoagland.
Hurdle denied pulling the knife on Mr..
Richardson, but admitted that he did ruS
the weapon on the curbstone for the pur-
pose of cleaning the blade.

THE RENT OF CANAL STREET.
Railway Company Claims 1t is Not
Reouired TO Paw Full Amount

The Commissioners this morning granted
a hearing to representatives of the Phila-
delphia. Baltimore and Washington Rail
road Company with reference TO the claim.
amounting to about $500. which it is al
legged the railroad company owes the Dis
trict for the temporary occupation of
part of Canal street southeast. The rail
road company was represented by Attorney
J 5. Flannery and Engineer Robert Farm
ham. and Corporation Counsel \. b. Duvall
appeared for the District.
After listening to the arguments of coun-
sci the Commissioners stated that they will
give the matter careful consideration and
will reserve their decision until a later
date. .,s ....r....
MIR F'lanuery, in substance. argued that
the agreement made between the Com
missOners and the railroad company in
1883 relative to rental for a portion of
Canal street southeast had been abrogated
with respect to a certain portion of the
street by the terms of the acts of Congress
OF 1901 and 1908. relating 10 the union
terminal station. BY these acts the attor-
ney argued. the agreement with respect to
Il portion of Canal street between New Jer-
sey avenue and South Capitol street had
been made imperative, and therefore no
rent was due the District for the occupa-
ton of that portion of the street by the
railroad company. AS to the portion of
Canal street between New Jersey avenue
and I'd street. the agreement is still in
force and. Mr.. Flannery stated, the Dis
trict is entitled to rent for that part of the
street, which is about one-third of the
whole extent of street occupied by the
tracks of the company.
MIR F'lannery suggested that the Com
missOners make new agreement with
the company with reference to the occupa-
ton OF Canal street. on such terms as will
relieve the company from paying rent on
the portion of the street in question be-
tween New Jersey avenue and South Capt.
tol street.
In reply to questions from Mr.. Duval
the attorney for the railroad company
stated that the company had paid rent on
the street for two years after the passage
OF the act OF 1901. because the exact plans
for the terminal project had not been de-
termined upon and the streets to be used
had not been determined. AS soon as the
act of 1895 was passed, however Mr.
Fiannery stated the railroad company noti-
fled the Commissioners that it declined to
pay rent on Canal street, because it con-
tended, the acts of Congress. had abro-
gated the terms of the agreement OF 1888
The Districts side of the case is con-
tanned in opinion of the corporation
counsel submitted several weeks ago To-
gether with this opinion. the Commission
ers will consider the arguments and sue-
gestions of the attorney for the railroad
company. and will later decide on the ques-
tion involved.
