Suit Filed to Restrain Emissions
From Purity Ice Company's
Chimneys.

Flora NJ. Gill. May B. Miller. Charles
r. Krey, and Thomas Martin, by their
attorneys Lester & Price, today filed
suit in the Equity Court against the
Purity Ice Company. seeking III restrain
the company from permitting smoke to
escape from its smokestack in such Il
manner as to injure the complainants'
property.
The bill is accompanied by more than
two dozen affidaYits, most all of which
are made by residents in the immediate
neighborhood. and who say they have
suffered from the inconveniences and
damage alleged In the bill. They say
SCOT frequently covers their houses,
doorWays windows. and porchss with q
greasy black substance.
A letter from the Smoke Inspector ac-
companies the bill. and states that dur
ing the year 1904 forty-six obserya tions
OF the smokestack connected with the
Purity Ice Company's plant were made,
and thirty-five violations OF law noted
seventeen OF which Were of such a char
acter as to warrant prosecution in the
Police Court; that In one of such prose-
cutions John z. MeGaW, the manager OF
the defendant company, was fined $40.
and in the other sixteen cases forfeited
collateral to that amount.
Justice Anderson issued a rule against
the defendant requiring 1t to snow cause
February 24 why the petition should not
be granted.

VESTIb(jLE BILL
IS AGREED UPON
Distrfc5 Commissioners to
Make Fay orabIe Report.
ONLY CHANGE IS SLIGHT
General Harries, Opposed to Legisla-
ton, Promises Completion of
Vestibuling IN 1908.

The District Commissioners this aft
ernoon agreed to make d favorable re-
port tomorrow on Senator Gailinger's
vestibule bill with one amendment
The only feature of the proposed bill
which they desire 10 change is the date
named by which the railway companies
are to provide vestibules for all their
cars. They propose to substitute De-
cefnber 1 for October l.
The Washington Hallway and Electric
Company not only opposes the proposed
legislation but does not promise to
by October ]. but does not promise TO,
retire all It's old rolling stock in favor
OF new vestibuled cars before the year
1908
This is the substance of a letter re-
ceived today b. Engineer Commissioner
Riddle from George II. Harries, vice
president of ine company. in reply TO
Colonel Biddies request for an express
sion OF opinion the subject from the
street railway companies of the Dis
frict.
Statement of General Harries.
The statement by General Harries is
similar in tone to his interview with Z
representative of The Times last Satur-
Gay. He announces that his company
does not contemplate putting vestibuIes
on cars at present or In the near future.
He does No: tntend to construct vesti-
bules al eli. IN fact. AS new ears are
bought or built. they will include vesti-
buies, but no protection will be furnish
ed the nlotormen on the present cars
until these cars are superseded by new
rolling stock
General Harries' letter Is as follows:
Replying to your favor of the 10th
instant requesting my views on Senate
bill 7l22, requiring street railway com
panies in the District of Columbia to
equip their cars with yestibules.' let me
say that We have been engaged in that
work for four years past
AT this time all of our suburban cars
arc VestibuIed and we have adopted as
our standard car the Vestibule car now
operated between the Capitol and Mount
Pleasant and on the II street line
Will Complete Work in 1908,
Continuing the standardization of our
rolling stock We expect to equip the
Eleventh street line with standard cars
| during the present year. F street. Ninth
street. and North Capitol street will fol-
! low, so that We reasonably expect to
complete the work of retiring our old
rolling stock by the year 1908
There is NOTHING. in our plans looking,
to the putting OF vestibules on cars
which are SO soon TO be succeeded by
the standard vehicle. So far as / can
see there is no necessity for vestibule
legislation for we arr steadily carrying
out the plans We adopted long before
any crusade on this subject had local
existence"

ARGUMENTS THAT BROUGHT RESPITE.

The reasons given as inducing the
action of the board in continuing the
cases are:
-'In view of the dissent on the part OF
three justices of the supreme court
from the opinion of the court IN refusing
the petition OF Samuel Greason for an
order authorizing Gew trial in the
court of oyer and terminer OF Berl<s
county. and in view OF the statement OF
counsel for Greason that they lave four
witnesses never before exa amineG. whose
depositions they desire TO take and pre-
sent to the supreme court for lis con-
sideratios. the application for eontinu-
ance in the Edwards case Is granted.
and application for a rehearine an the
Greason case is granted
Petition for Greasen.
When the board of pardons met this
morning w H Sadler and J. H Roth
erfnel presented a petition Tor re-
hearing for Greason.
The petition recites that at the trial
Mrs. Edwards swere falsely against
Greason; that she has confessed her
testimony was false: that she was aided
In securing Communication OF the death
sentence IL she would testify against
Greasefl, and that he has not had fair
trial and a chance for life.
1t was also said that Mrs. Edwards
confessed to her spiritual adviser that
she had sworn falsely against Greason.
Pleas for Mrs. Edwards.
Mr. Lentz, her counsel asked that
John H Rothermel be heard. as he
wanted to urge a continuance of the
lsreason case. Mr.. Lentz, himself, pre-
sented many petitions and letters sent
to him in behalf of Mrs Edwards.
Mr.. Rothermel pleaded for relearing
for Greason on the strength of Mrs.
Edwards confession e1onerating Grea-
son 4 point made was that witnesses
contra 4iction of the testimony of Mary
Edwards, the daughter, corroborated
Mrs Edwards confession.
After a little more argument the
board retired and after celebrating
about swenty minutes continued the
case os Mrs Edwards. a rehearing in
the Greason case was also granted

SKELETON OF DODO
IN NATIONAL MUSEUM

The only dodo in the United States, or
rather his or her skeleton is in the
National Museum. 1t arrived Monday
from Europe, and is now the chief orna-
ment on the mantiepieee of DIR. True.
The dodo was purchased from an
European dealer in answer to call for
offers of something unusual for the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. The dodo
inhabited Reunion Island and the Isle
Of France in the Indian ocean. as late
as the thirteenth century.
The bird had had no enemies and los
ing the powers of defense and flight il
fell an easy prey to the white man.

Raisinger, in Sudden Anger,
Murdered His Young Wife

The crime for which Raisinger today
paid the penalty was peculiarly brutal
and had attendant circumstances such
as can ha.'dly be imagined by even
those thoroughly familiar with the his

question to test.

Parts of the remainder of the rope
were then put in earbolic acid. From
the examination made after the strands
were taken out of this fluid 1t was
paIpably evident that eafbolic acid
played no part in the breaking of the
rope.
Nitric acid will be used to test the
rope this afternoon. The carbolic acid
burned the rope black, and it became
as brittle as glass when the test was
completed. That hydrochloric acid
brought about the severance OF the rope
seems to be the personal opinion of
