Passengers standing In the aisles OF
cars should had no difficulty IN secur-
ing holds on the backs Of seats, Is the
reply made by Vice President George
H Harries, OF the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, TO the query OF
the District Commissioners as 10 Why
the cars OF the City and Suburban rail-
way were not equipped with straps
The strap question was raised by c.
D Mecutchen, Of Brentwood, Nd, who,
in a recent communication 70 the Com
missiOners. complained that standing
passengers OF the railway in question
were given no strap accommodations
and In consequence were jOstled and
1OlJed about and put to great inC0n-
venience by reason OF the many curves
over that road He asked that the mat
ter be brought TO the attention Of the
proper authorities With view 10 giving
passengers possible relief.
The Commissioners thereupOn directed
a query TO Vice President HarTies. with
the result that he holds the car build
STS responsible for the n0n-eXiStenCe Of
straps, stating that up 10 this period
or car construction no car-builder has
ever put straps in the crOss-seat or
center-aisle, cars. Vice President Har-
ries' communication made no reference
TO MIR. Mecutchen's complaint that cars
on the City and Suburban line having a
seating capacity Of forty persons were
OF the day as many as 100. which re-
suited In much over-crOwding and IN
convenience.
The Commissioners have directed that
Mr. Mecutchen be informed OF the rail-

trial IN the case Of the condemned law
yer, Albert T. Patrick. is being heard
before Recorder Con in general sessions
today 1t is not expected that the re-

tion for a few days
The more recent testimony Of the sew
eral eminent medical authorities for the
defense, that embalming fluid and not
chlorofcrm might have been responsible
for the congested condition OF Rice's
lungs after death. has been counterbaI-
anced by the testimony OF Drs. Kemn
Williams. and Schultze, who have ali
sworn positively that the falcon huid
could not have reached the lungs by the
process of embalming which was used
on Rice's body.

Arrangements Which
Were Upset
Mrs. Barney's Explanation

Mrs. Barney feels that an explana-
/ ton should be made 10 everyone to
whom she pledged reserved seats for
the pastorale given at Friendship on
May & She assigned the places for
al the booths and the portion OF rhe
/ grounds 70 be occupied ~ the dif-
ferent events. and had directed that
/ The garden. where her play was 70
I take place. should be reserved and
/ Kept free from the public
On her arrival upon the grounds
she found that the owner Of Friend
ship. who had done so much for the
fete BY permitting the use OF her
grounds and gardens. had changed
Mrs. Barney's previous arrange
ments. and had opened the garden
70 the public. so that they might
enjoy II and the old box trees. When
the ushers arrived they found Il i'm
possible TO clear out the people who
had established themselves there.
and, accordingly. those who had paid
s. and So. two weeks IN advance.
found their chairs occupied by peo-
pie. some of whom had not engaged
seats. while others had probably not
even paid the price Of admission 20
the play.
Mrs. Barney regrets that she Is un-
able 10 make this explanation 10
everyone who bought reserved seats
for the pastorale. but she sends II
10 those whom she can reach. and
hopes that they VIII make il for her

the recent decision Of the United States

that under the decision OF the Supreme
Court the divorce. which the former
Mrs. James G. Blame. now the wife OF
Or. William =, Bull. the noted surgeon
of New York. obtained frC-n Blaine, was
invalid. and. therefore. Blaine's mar
rage to his present wife is null and
void.
Within Courts Decision?
The first Mrs. Blaine obtained her
divorce IN South Dakota. and it is es-
serted it is a case that comes N'''esn
the decision; that both parties were not
citizens OF that State. and. Va,.efore,
the court had no right 10 grant : decree
that would be valid in other States.
The present Mrs Blaine is a daughter
