CASE OF INTEREST.
Use of Boxes by Bottlers of Soda and
Other Waters.

A case of considerable Importance to the
local bottlers was disposed of this morning
by E. NJ. Hewlett, justice Of the peace, and
will serve as warning to the dealers who
use boxes belonging to others. There Is
law making 1t offense for a person to
use the registered bottles of another, but
there Is nothing in the law which relates to
the use of boxes The case in the magis-
trate's court this morning was the outcome
of an investigation made by Detective Film
der, who represents the Bottlers' Protec-
tive Association. 1t was brought in the ma
ture of replevin proceedings against Ben
jamin April, who is in business under the
name of the American Bottling Company.
Richard Maznger and J. F. Hermann &
Sons were plaintiffs in the case. 1t was
set out in their complaints that boxes be-
longing to them had been found in the
possession of the defendant. The latter
did not care to contest the proceedings, but
told the justice that the boxes in question
had come into his possession by reason of
mistake on the part of a driver. The
mistake cost him $10.S6 this being the
amount Of costs assessed in the two cases.
1t is stated that boxes of the kind involved
in the suit are used by dealers without any
reference to ownership, and they are to be
notified by the representative of the Bot
tiers Protective Association that unless the
practice is stopped other suits will be in
sututed.

DELEGATES APPOINTED.
Board Of Trade to Be Represented in
Reciprocity Convention.

Following the course of other similar
bodies throughout the country, the presi-
dent Of the Washington Board Of Trade,
Mr.. William V. Cox. has appointed dele
gates to represent that body at the ma
tional reciprocity convention which is to
meet in Chicago on Wednesday and Thurs
day of next week. The members Sc
lected for this purpose are Archibald Green
lees, Gen. George H. Harres, A. NJ 10th
rop and w. P. Van Wickle and they will
be notified Of their appointment. Most Of
them out of the city, but 1t is supposed
they will serve, and that as many as pos
sible will attend the convention.
The delegates WILL Of course, go with
out instructions, and they will listen to
what is said and note what Is done. Their
appointment was made because in the
opinion Of President Cox the subject to be
considered by the convention relates to the
commercial and business interests Of the
country. The political phase was not the
motive in having the local body repre-
sented.

PASSENGERS EXCITED.
Railway Gate Strikes Crowded Street
Car

There was an excited crowd of passengers
on street car on the Columbia line this
morning when one of the railroad gates at
the intersection of H and LIST streets north
east smashed the six windows on one side
of the car. 1t was about $40 o'clock when
the car reached the railroad crossing going
west, and the vehicle was well filled with
passengers. Several of those who were
seated on one side of the car and were
looking forward saw what was coming and
left their seats in a hurry.
Women screamed and jumped from their
seats, and panic was narrowly averted
The motorman was able to stop his car in
time to have prevented SO much damage,
but the car would have had to stop on the
steam railroad crossing, and the appear
ance of a train at that time might have
caused the wholesale slaughter of passen-
gers. He brought his car to stop as soon
as the crossing had been cleared. and the
passengers soon got over their excitement.
One OF the passengers, ]. B. Webster,
twenty-five years old. living at 1910 Mary
land avenue northeast was cut about his
left ear by the broken glass. He had his
injury dressed at DIR. Schaffirt's drug store

DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE
Under Consideration by the Local
Sewer Department.

Defective drainage at the corner Of North
Capitol and T streets, which, 1t Is said,
results in considerable damage to surround
Ing property with every rainfall, has been
the subject of consideration by the bureau
OF highways, by the sewer department and
by the District Commissioners. ]. H. Lane,
chairman of the sewers and water commit
tee of the North Capitol and lexington Cit
liens Association, brought the matter to
the attention of the authorities in a re-
cent communication when he said that the
catch basin at the northeast corner Of
North Capitol and T streets seemed to be
too small, because at each heavy rainfall

AS result of an investigation w. s. Sheets,
inspector Of sewers, stated that the catch
basin In question Is usually washed full
of sand during each rain storm, and that
often the sand Is piled as high as the curb
In front of the inlet Only few days ago.
he continued, the basin was cleaned and
three cart loads of sand removed At the
suggestion of Superintendent of Sewers
D. E. McComb. the paper was referred to
Engineer of Highways Hunt. The latter
states that 1t is not practicable to remedy
conditions at North Capitol and T streets
paved, and that such an improvement must
be provided by Congress.
On the motion of Acting Engineer Com
missioner Jay ]. Morrow the recommended
ton of the engineer of highways has been
approved, and the North Capitol and Eek
ington Citizens Association will be so in
formed.

WILKESBARRE ANS
PRESIDENT 10 DELIVER ONE AD-
DRESS TO DOUBLE MEETING.

The official program for the reception OF
President Roosevelt at Wilkesbarre was an
nounced yesterday, and 1t Is definitely de-
clared that President John Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers will be chairman OF
the day and introduce President Roosevelt,
who will make one address to the miners
and the temperance workers combined.
Mayor Kirkendan will act as a sort of sub
chairman and will introduce President
Mitchell.
There has, ever since the first announce
ment that President Mitchell would be the
chairman OF the day. been much discussion
and criticism about his selection. 1t was
contended by some that the honor was due
Mayor Kirkendall or Representative Palmer
or one of the judges Of the county. Father
J. J. Curran,~ who Is the chief worker In
bringing the President and arranging the
celebration. at a recent meeting OF the ex-
ecutive committee explained why President
Mitchell had been chosen chairman Fatner
Curran said that he and Representative
Palmer visited Washington to see the Presi-
dent about coming to Wilkesbarre. At that
time the latter gave the gentlemen no en-
enlargement at all. but he did not say
a letter was received stating that the Pres
ident would be unable to accept the invita-
ton which was extended to him.
Father Curran realized that some power
bear upon the head of the nation II he was
to be gotten there at all. Father Curran
had made up his mind that II anything
could be done he would do it, and so he hit
upon the plan of asking John Mitchell to
use his influence with the President, and
the result was that the latter accepted the
invitation to come here as the guest or the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union and of the
United Mine Workers.
- Father Curran said 1t would be seen from
this that John Mitchell is the one to whom
credit is due for getting the consent of
the President to come here, and for this
reason it was thought only right and prop
er that he should preside at the meeting.
1t was first suggested that two separate
and distinct meetings be held. one for the
miners and the other for the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union, and 1t was the intention
to erect two platforms and make the recep-
ton to the President individual. This plan
was done away with by the President him.

one address Of about thirty or thirty-five
