carriers should in no case transport
traffic until tariff had been published
and that the published tariff should be
| observed. and providing penalty Of
not less than $1,000 nor more than $40,
900 for each offense.
Both the Santa Fe and the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company systematically
and continuously violated the provis-
ions of that act in the particulars men,
toned from the day Of It's passage
down to November %, 1904, when the
tariffs under which this coal moved

How to Clean RefrIxerntors.

A triple house cleaning every week
is none too much for the refrigerator
A wise provision is to arrange ii for
the days on which the ice is to be re.
newed. Remove CIV erything, wipe walls
and shelves with a damp cloth. then
rub with coarse, dry towel. Pour scald
ing water, in which bit Of washing
soda has been dissolved. down the
waste pipe. Follow 1t with a cold
stream and permit the refrigerator to
stand open and empty few minutes
till thoroughly cooled. Five minutes
work three times a week is all that is
required to keep this part Of the larder
In perfect sanitary condition.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Another Action Against Kenilworth
Pool Room.

Pool Room.
Magistrate Elon Behrend held court yes
terday afternoon on the porch in front of
a residence at Kenilworth and took action
in another case brought against Arthur
Wall and Percy T. Humphrey for alleged
violation of the gambling laws at the Ken
i1worth pool room. Constable Brashears
served the warrants and escorted the de-
PENDANTS across the road to where they were
arraigned. Attorneys Wells & Wells James
c. Rogers and George Hoover were present
in the interest of the defendants.
1t had been expected that the employees
of the pool room would be taken before the
magistrate and placed under bond to appear
as witnesses, but the action of the defend
ants attorneys avoided the necessity for
calling witnesses, and no action of the kind
indicated was taken. Counsel prayed jury
trial for their clients and waived an exami-
nation. The magistrate thereupon held them
for the action of the grand jury, and they
gave bond In the sum Of $500 for their APP
pearance.
Magistrate Behrend. said that in event Of
any more of these cases coming before him
he would insist upon hearing the testimony
The bringing of cases in the manner in
which they had been brought he character
lied as a farce. Counsel for the defend
ants said they would be glad to have the
magistrate hear case and decide the ques-
ton upon it's merits. The defendants were
notified that additional warrants had been
issued for them, and they were told that
they would have to appear before Magis-
trate Carr at Hyattsville at 2 o'clock Mon
day afternoon.
Tonight there is to be another meeting of
the citizens held at Chesapeake Junction
to further consider the matter of fighting
the pool room people and for the purpose of
raising additional funds with which to carry
on the fight. 1t is expected that the petition
addressed to Judge Merrick, asking that
special session of the court be held will be
presented TO him Tuesday morning.
