APPLICATION DENIED.
Courts Action in Monongahela Bridge
Case


Justice Stafford. in Equity Court No. 2. to-
day denied the application of the Mononga-
hela Bridge Company for an Injunction
against William H. Taft. Secretary OF War,
to prevent him from putting into execution
an order requiring alterations to be made In
a bridge belonging to the company and
spanning the Monongahela river near Pitts
burg. The court held that 1t was without
Jurisdiction, and decided that IL the act Of
Congress under which the Secretary's order
was issued is unconstitutional, that might
be made a plea In defense of a criminal
prosecution. which is provided by the stat
ute for failure to make alterations after de-
mand.
The charge in the bill of complaint that
the order of Secretary Taft is a cloud on
the title of the ,complainants falls the court
suggests, If the unconstitutionality of the
act should be upheld in the criminal pro-
ceeding
The complainants owned and operated the
bridge and were notified by the War De-
partment that in it's present condition 1t
was an obstruction to navigation. and were
requested 10 raise the bridge eleven feet
and widen the distance between the piers
100 feet, under the penalty provided by the
act of Congress respecting bridges obstruct-
ing naviga BILE rivers. The act provides that
the owners should be liable to a fine Of
5000 month on conviction in the United
States court IN the locality of the bridge.
In asking for an injunction the bridge
company claimed that the act of Congress
was null and void. as ii amounted to con-
iscating its property, since the changes
required would cost mere than the bridge is
worth

A decided novelty in play houses has been
established in this city by the Armat Mo-
ton Picture Company. A Scent theater

an attraction to the amusement-loving pub
lie of Washington. Continuous perform
ances are given both IN the daytime and

performances is mechanical and marks a
new era in twentieth century amusement
methods.
The outside barker is represented by a

impersonated by a talking machine; or
chestral music is furnished by self-play-
ing piano and phonograph, while the per-
Torrance itself is series of interesting
and instructive moving pictures, the pro-
gram being constantly varied. An exciting
steeplechase and other views forms the
present entertainment
Mr.. Thomas Armat announces that he
proposes to introduce many innovations, IN
Guiding ar army week, with war and other
military views; a navy week, with pictures
of the superb American navy; Irish week,
with views OF the Emerald Isle; Masonic

OF Ohev Echulom yesterday became the
owners OF the church property of the A.
sembly's Presbyterian Church. the congre-
cation OF which was recently united with
that OF the New York Presbyterian Church
by action OF the presbytery of Washington
The consideration was $4,000. The offer.
which was made some time ago, was con-
ditional and depended upon whether the
presbytery sanctioned the union of the two
Presbyterian churches. The action Of the
presbytery on Tuesday settled the matter,
and yesterday the deal was contaminated
by Jacob Randall. representing the Ohev
Schulom congregation. and L. Cabell VIII
hanson. representing the congregation of
thu Assembly's Presbyterian Church. The
property will be delivered to the new own
ers within the next sixty days. and 1t Ia
expected that few changes Will be made.
The bell will be removed, as bells are not
used on Jewish houses of worship. The In
terror of the edifice will undergo no-ma-
terial change, 1t Is stated.
