and Continuance Ordered

Violations of the District smoke law were
the charges which were placed against
Raleigh H. Moler of 2Sth and Virginia ave-
nue. southeast and John Mel. Dodson who
were in the Police Court this morning
Both demanded a jury trial and the cases
were therefore continued indefinitely.
In the case of Mr.. Dodson, proprietor Of
the Godey's lime kiln, some testimony was
admitted and Mr.. Dodson made a state
ment before the Jury trial was asked for
Mr.. Dodson stated that in making lime he
was compelled to have flame all the time
and that was only possible when he used
soft coal When soft coal Is used It is
granted there will be smoke and, therefore
smoke.
If this law is enforced strictly against
me It will mean that I must 60 out of
business" said Mr.. Dodson on the wit
ness stand. II must make smoke IL 1 make
lime, and therefore I cannot keep within
what the inspector regards as the law and
do any business"
Another case for violation of the smoke
law Is now pending against Mr.. Dodson and
this new case was continued until they can
beth come up together.

RAIDED A CRAP GAME.
Police of Eight Precinct Find Players
and Make Arrest

About o'clock yesterday morning fifteen
colored men and boys were on their knees
around a lamp in the middle of a room on
the second story of the house of Randay
Dade. at 2212 18th street northwest. All
were intently watching the throw of the
bones. as they took turns in tossing out the
dice. Then one of the party made an ex-
cuse to leave the room.
On the outside of the house there was an
other crowd, very unlike the one on the in
side and very much more quiet. 1t was
composed of Precinct Detective Burning
anne, Acting Sergt Stahl and Policemen
Rout, Waldron, Dreamer and Dixon of the
eighth precinct station. These men made
their way quietly into the first floor of the
house and crawled cautiously upstairs. That
was just accomplished when the player left
the room, and as he opened the door the
parties came together. Those on the inside
were so surprised that they simply dropped
on the floor and looked up in establishment
Precinct Detective Burlingame arrested
Dade for permitting gambling on premises
and he was taken to the station house. He
was afterward released on SIS collateral
for his appearance In the Police Court to-
day But when his name was called there
was no response and Financial Clerk Sc

TO GIVE AWAY TREES.
District Authorities Have Excess of
Plants on Hand.

There are in the District nurseries trees
fit for planting in addition to those intend
ed to be placed In the streets. This is due
to the fact that an excess is planted in
order that the best may be chosen for
street planting and because the Commits
sioners have for years past asked and
hoped for larger appropriations so as to
extend the tree planting as the city grows
at the same time keeping up those within
the city.
In order to prepare for this increase and
to have trees ready when wanted. it has
been necessary to continuously plant a
larger number than will be probably needed
1t is several years after planting before
the trees are of sufficient size to put the
streets This excess is of no value to the
District because when the trees grow be-
yond a certain size 1t has been found i'm
practicable to transplant them. The Com
missioners. therefore, have expressed a
willingness to give to individuals a limited
number of trees to be planted on private
land. provided 1t be shown that the plant
ing will be of service to the public by i'm
proving the appearance of the landscape
and that the whole cost of transplanting be
borne by the individual.

STEEL INGoT THEIR TOMB.
Mass Of Metal Which Overwhelmed
Two Men Buried,

a funeral without a parallel in Philadel-
phia took place there yesterday at the Mid
vale Steel Works. where forty-ton ingot
of steel permeated with the flesh, blood
and bones of two workmen was buried
with the solemn rites Of the Catholic
Church.
The workmen who were so strangely laid
away were JohnrF'orkin and Joseph Gazda,
foreign-speaking laborers, who met a hor-
rible death week ago. They were In
Pit near a cupola containing many tons of
molten steel. A plug gave way and $1,000
pounds of the fiery fluid poured from the
cupola4 and overwhelmed them. The men
were completely moderated and not a trace
Of them or their clothing was left.
The Midvale Steel Company was averse
to selling the steel or using 1t for the pur-
pose for which 1t was intended. and it was
decided to bury 1t with tie rites OF the
church to which the unfortunate men had
belonged. Accordingly, the forty-ton ingot,
oval In shape, twenty-eight feet long, six
feet wide and five feet thick, was moved
last week by travelling crane to the rear
of the machine shop, where a grave ten
feet deep had been made. The great mass
of metal was laid in the hole and plat
form built over it SO that the burial services
could be better performed.
In the center of the platform was an
opening six feet in diameter.
A great crowd sought admission to the
works yesterday. but only the two sisters or
Gazda. who depended upon him for sup
port, and about 100 workmen who We're on
Sunday duty were permitted TO attend the
services, along with the officials OF the
company. Forkin had no relatives in this
country. Among the officials was Presi-
dent Charles Harrah.
All heads We're barred and flags ware
lowered to half-staff while two priests con-
Quoted the services.
After the sisters of Gazda had been led
away the great ingot was covered With
earth and the funeral party dispersed.
The grave of the men will be appropri-
ately marked by the company.

GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS
PLAN FOR EXTENSION OF PROS
PEcT sTREET-aENFRAL ITEMS.

Col John Biddle. engineer commissioner
Of the District. replying to a letter from
the Georgetown Citizens Association, gives
encouragement to the agitation for the
extension OF Prospect avenue, creating two
thoroughfares opening into Georgetown.
He advises that the best policy is the In
PRODUCTION OF a bill in Congress authoriz-
ing the extension of this street, and in
case Of the passage of such a bill. the ex-
pense which would accrue owing to ex-
animation OF title would be fully author
lied and further, IL title was shown to be
in the District no condemnation PROCEED
ings would be necessary.
Col. Biddle points cut the fact that this
method of procedure has been followed In
other cases where the title was questioned.
and cites an instance the case OF north
approach to the Anacostia bridge, where
the title was in the United States, but
deeds and other instruments Many citi-
zens think there will be little trouble en-
countered in convincing Congress of
the necessity for the proposed improve
nent and hope to secure the necessary ap-
preparation. Several citizens are now at
work to frame a bill for presentation to
