DANGEROUS CARGO SHIPPED
Steamer Leaves Here With Powder
and Carbide Of Calcium.

Laden with a large consignment of
carbide of calcium. shipped from New
New York. and $4,000 cases of pow
der shipped by the DUPONT Company,
besides coal and general merchandise.
the American steamship Watson, COM
manded by Captain aBrtlett sailed
from the Wilmington and Northern
pier today for San Francisco.
With one exception this is the first
shipment of carbide Of calcium that
has ever been made by water Here
tofore the shipments to the Pacific
Coast have been always made overland
at a tremendous expense. The danger
ATTENDING the shipment Of the carbide
by vessel is that it would become
highly explosive through the gases
that would be generated by its coming
in contact with water
The dangerous point on the voyage
will be the passage through the Straits
Of Magellan. which are studded with
dangerous distractions, making it inn
possible for vessels to pass through
except during daylight.

NEW RULING MADE
IN CITY COURT
Applications for Reopening
Cases Must Hereafter be
Supported by Afidavits
JUDGE GARRETT ISSUES NEW ORDER

Deputy Judge Philip L. Garrett made
a new ruling in City Court to-day.
1t was when David J. Reinhardt, rep
resenting Lena Stewart, colored, held
on charge Of larceny for the upper
court several days ago, made an appli-
cation for the re-opening of the case.
Mr. Reinhardt said his client was
charged with stealing bed and table
linen. and as he understood made no
defense.
Assistant City Solicitor Rice objected
10 reopening the case on the ground
that when the defendant was called
for trial, she could have had the op-
portunity to prepare a defense had she
so desired. He claimed that the
prisoner had asked for no postpone
ment of the hearing and therefore
should abide by the consequences.
Judge Garrett said that there had
been a number Of cases reopened on the
application of the defense and no more
additional material evidence was Of
fered in behalf of the defendants than
at the previous hearings, thereby TAX
ing up the time of the court without
any different result. In the future,
said Judge Garrett, while l am on the
bench no application for reopening a
case will be considered by me unless
It Is in writing, setting forth the ad-
Aditional evidence that is desired and
supported by proper afidavits.'
Mr.. Reinhardt, If you desire to have
the case in question reopened you will
please follow this rule" said the court
That will be the first step, will it, u
asked Mr. Reinhardt.
The court replied yes, and added that
this would prevent in the future the
reopening Of cases for frivolous
motives.
