BAWDY HOUSE KEEPER IS WINNER IN SUIT
 FUR OLD COINS
Was Charged by Baker With Having Cohfiscated His
 Curio Collection.

In Justice McDonald's Court yester- day afternoon at ? o'clock, the case of Baker ys. DouthiIt was tried by a
 jury This is @ case where the plain
 tiff, J. K. Baker, sued out a writ of
 replevin to regain the possession Of some gold coins which he claimed the defendant, Mary Douthitt, wrongfully
 withheld from him. After considera- ble time spent in the selection of a jury the plaintiff took the witness stand. Baker testified that he had collected l the coins at different times, and that he had mentioned to the defendant that he had such a collection. He testified further that the defendant asked him to let her see them, and that pursuant to this request, he brought the coins to her house in l Upper Brewery Avenue, and left them there for the defendant to look at. He
 said that he afterwards asked the de-
 fendant to return the coins, but that she said that she had sent them to Chicago. Baker then said that he had seen the coins in local jewelry store and that he mad recovered the same by means Of writ of replevin. On cross-examination it was brought l out that the defendant had given the plaintiff watch as present, but the witness testified that he had furnish ! ed the money to pay for the watch. The witness testified that the value of the coins was the sum of twenty four dollars.
 The next witness was the ieweier who had bought the coins from the defendant. His testimony related merely to the value of the coins, which i he said was twenty-four dollars. ! Mary Douthitt, the defendant, testi- fled that the plaintiff had given her
 the said coins as a present, in ex- change for the watch that she had giv-
 en him. She testified that she paid
 for the watch. and said further that
 she had paid the plaintiffs board for | five or six months. She testified that the time at which the plaintiff gave
 her the coins was around the first of the year.
 The defense called two more wit
 nesses, but their testimony developed
 nothing new.
 Baker took the stand and denied
 that the defendant had paid his ssard, and said that he had given her pair
 of diamond earrings. The case was
 then given to the jury without argu- ment. and after about half hour the
 jury returned 3. verdict Of one dollar
 and costs for the defendant.

BRADSHAW AND P|CKENS MN FROM ROSS
 AND MINER
Second Best Hole Ever Drilled in District Is Made at
 Lowell. ..

In one of the prettiest pieces of work ever witnessed here Bradshaw and Pickens, at Lowell Sunday afternoon, defeated the well known drilling team of Ross and McIver, the winners drill. ing 45 11-16 inches. Ross and McIver were able to do but little better than they did at Douglas on July f, when they tied with the winners of Sunday $ match. Their hole at Lowell when measured showed that they had sunk . their d:il.s but A 3-16.
 Over 1000 people journeyed from different parts of Cochise county 10 witness the match and plenty of money changed hands on the result. It was evident before the match that Lowell was a Ross and MeIver town as every cent offered on the Bradshaw team was snapped up. The admirers of Bradshaw and Pickens. while they plac ed some money on their choice, did not seem 10 be as confident of winning as did the Ross and McIver contingent.
 It was 4 o'clock when the men of both teams drew for places. Brawshaw and Pickens took the rock first, with Harry Fleming as timekeeper and Norman Mckenzie for tender and coach. All rumors to the effect that this team was not in good condition were soon put to rout. Their drilling was perfection itself and they walked their sixteen drills into the native granite with a style and precision that was good to watch. Fifteen changes were made without so much as a pause, the hammer following the head of the drill into the hole at every change.
 With Ross and McIver it was differ ent. This team did not seem to be in their best form in changing, although they drilled their usual good hole. For the first seven or eight minutes they seemed unable to make good change and no doub. lost some dis tarce or this account. But the result
 vas never in doubt after the first few minutes of Ross and McIver's work. They were both slower than their op- ponents, while Pickens' blow was plainly the hardest blow struck on the rock during the contest
 Ross and McIve- were attended by Fred Yockey, the worlds champion single hand drilier, and one of the best coaches in the business. but he was unable to infuse the proper amount of steam into his men 10 help them wir. 1 Bradshaw left for Butte. Montana,

The Rumpus in Montgomery.

A squabble over the postmastership
of Rockville has brought about d
misunderstanding between Represent
ative George A. Pearre, of the Sixth
Maryland District, and Willis B.
Burdette, chairman of the Republi-
can county committee OF Montgom-
cry county, which has degenerated
into a reciprocal casting of asper-
sions, charges and COunter-charges.
and which is dividing the Republi-
cans of the county into two hostile
factions. Ordinarily, sucn rumpus is
OF little importance to anyone. But
this one threatens Mr.. Pearre's re-
nomination for Congress
While We do not know Mr. Bur-
dette, we do know Representative
Pearre, and we regard him as a
strong, able, and honest Representa-
tive who has served we'll the inter
ests of his district during nearly
four sessions of Congress. We ven
ture to suggest. furthermore, that if
his constituents decide not to return
him TO Congress, it should be for the
reason that they have discovered a
more able and trustworthy man to
replace him, and not because of some
internal party squabble

the Postoffice Department; that the
First Assistant Postmaster General
decided 10 TeappOint him unless Mr.
Pearre showed cause why this should
not be done, and. finally, that his ap-
pointment has been made and con-
firmed by the Senate.
- We agree with Mr.. Pearre that
cause why a postmaster who has
served his Office we'll should be de-

found in the fact that somebody else

opinion it is hard to think that q

At a conference between Gen. George

Brett the recommendations for the Of
hcars of the new naval battalion were
made and Will be submitted to the PTes3-
dent today. Although the name of S.
w. Stratton was not among those de-
cided upon it is reasonably certain that
he will be the man chosen for com
mander of the battalion. Commander
Stratton was in charge of the battalion
at the time cf its disorganization and
was well liked by all OF the men. On
the lists SUBMITTED the position OF COM
mander was left vacant.
1t was stated at headquarters that
General HaTries himself will take charge
of the battalion for short time and
see that the command Is eStaDlShed
according to his ideas FOR tlfne ihete
was riImor that John DOYLE CaTmody
would be chosen. but the requests were
so numerous in behalf of former (ofh-
niander Stratton that IT IS oeieveo f tiief
will be granted especially as Mr.. Car

is the thing they are now doing
first 10 ascertain whether or not new
regulations are needed to safeguard
the public from incautious drivers of
every class, and they should bear in
mind while they do SO the special
ease with which the horseiess ear
is stopped and the special disregard
with which the average horse-propel-
led vehicle is driven round corners.

More Automobile.

A mass of stuff is being said and
printed all over the country on the
general subject of controlling the
automobile. We have had our
share of it in Washington from the
first. Just now we are getting more
than our share. because of a bin
introduced by Representative Sims
of Tennessee TO regulate the speed
Of automobiles in the District of
Columbia and for other purposes"
Of course. the automobile is dam
gerous. OF course, a horse and wag-
on are dangerous. Both of them
should be regulated-and both have
exactly the same right to the street.
As far as serious accidents are
concerned, Washington has been ex-
tremely fortunate with reference to
all vehicles, Eorsed and horseless.
What difference has existed in the
case OF them has been largely in fa-
vor of the autocar. There is not a
man in Washington who has not
narrowly escaped being run down by
careless drivers of delivery wagons
or carriages There are not a hun
dred men in Washington, all told.
who have had the least occasion to
be frightened at automobiles.
The law as it stands permits
horses to go in the city at a rate of
eight miles an hour. around cor
ners at four miles an hour, and along
country roads at twelve niles an
hour, Automobiles are held to
twelve miles, four miles, and fifteen
miles under the same circumstances.
The Sims bill would leave these
ST ed limits as they are for automo-
0iles excepting that the autocar
must slow down to Ave miles in
crossing caTtraeks and the punish
ment provided for offending against
the regulations is made much more
severe than the punishment for simf-
lar ofTenses by drivers of horses.
No wonder the owners of motor
cars protest! There is no reasonable
need TO make these men the object
of specially severe regulations. They
have proven themselves exceptional
~ trustworthy, as a class. They are
at all times at the mercy of any in
speetor, or roundsman, or bicycle
policeman who chooses to take them
into his custody. And If these things
Were not true. the extra punishment
Mr.. Sims would provide for two of
fenses within a year-imprisonment
without any would still
be much less practical and much less
likely to produce good results than
the cancellation of the owners license
TO operate his car within this juris-
siction.
