itals.


William K McBeth. who started from
Scotdale Pa. to visit all the state capitals
of the United States on horseback, ar
rived in Washington yesterday at II
O'Clock. His trip is said to be the result
Of a wager for purse of $4,000, and the
conditions under which he travels are such
as to make a difficult feat doubly hard.
McBeth is not allowed to buy or beg any
thing for the sustenance Of himself or his
mount, but must depend entirely for mis-
funds and shelter upon the presentation of
souvenir post cards which bear his picture
and information concerning his trip. He is
not allowed to offer them for sale, but may
present them and receive in compensa-
ton whatever people may feel that they
care to give him.
His average ride must be twenty-eight
miles every day. and should he, for any
reason fail to cover this distance, he must
make it up the following day, as he has
but four years time in which to complete
his trip.
of any kind Even should his horse become
disabled or die. Mr.. McBeth must endeavor
to fulfill his wager to the best of his ability
as no allowance whatever will be made for
him.
When he called at the White House yes
terday morning Mr.. McBeth. who Is We'll

CLOSING FEATURES.

Great interest attached to the closing ex-

food show, which was held for two weeks
at Convention Hall. The exhibition this
year has proved to be all that the Retail

whose auspices the show was given-ex-

FOUR-INCH TIRES.
Hearing Given Those Opposed to Pro
iected LEGISLATION.

The Commissioners gave hearing yes
terday to a committee of business men,
headed by o. H. P. Johnson, representing
those opposed to the proposition to require
all wagons weighing with the load two
tons to have four-inch tires on their
wheels. They stated that 1t had been said
that the bill containing the proposition re-
ported by the House committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia had been approved by
the Commissioners, and they asked the
Commissioners whether this was true.
The Commissioners replied, through Com
missioner Mcfarland. president of the
board, that the proposition had never been
referred to them by the congressional COM
mittee, and therefore the Commissioners
had never either approved or disapproved
1t. The corporation counsel had put the
proposition into legal form for the chair
man of the House committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia at the latter's request,
but neither then nor at any other time
had the Commissioners passed upon the
proposition. They could not do SO under
the invariabe custom of their dealings
with Congress until 1t had been referred
to them for report.
The committee of business men repre-
sented to the Commissioners that 1t would
cost the business interests of Washington
100000 to alter their wagon wheels to
conform to such a provision Of law II 1t
| should be enacted, and that no such re-
quirement was made anywhere in any
city of the United States, with the excep-
/ ton, possibly, of Denver.

Max Lederer, judge of high criminal
court in Austria, was an interested visitor
at the Juvenile Court yesterday and had a
long consultation afterward with Judge
William H. DeLacy regarding the law under
which the court operates and the methods
OF trying juvenile offenders and the diSpo-
sition of cases.
Judge Lederer holds a commission from
the Emperor of Austria and is sent to this
country by that ruler to study juvenile
courts 1t is planned to adopt the system
in Austria for the trial of the young Of
tenders, who. it is believed, should not be
put in with the older and hardened crimi-
nails, and upon his report will largely de-
pend the choice of the system to be adopted
in Austria. He has already visited New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. From
Washington he expects to go to Pittsburg
Buffalo, Chicago, Denver, st. Louis, Kansas
City and other places where children's
courts have been established.
In Austria, Mr.. Lederer stated to a Star
with felonies, but only with misdemeanors.
Up to ten years old child is considered as
not having power to form a criminal in
tent. From ten to fourteen years of age
the boys are held to have the power to form
such an intent, but it must be proved in the
trial that they so intended. Persons over
fourteen years old are presumed to have
such an intent when they commit an Of
Tense. Juveniles in Austria, it was de-
cared, have no right to a trial before a
jury, and Mr.. Lederer was much interested
in the provisions for jury trials for juve-
niles in the local court
