Automobiles.

That small boys all over the city make
practice Of shooting small pieces of putty
and beans through bean shooters at passing
Automobiles, endangering their eyes and
threatening serious consequences, was de-
veloped by testimony in the Juvenile Court
yesterday afternoon. Rankin Clements Of
231O street was on trial for violating the
police regulations in blowing beans into the
face of Arthur Suydane, chauffeur. Judge
DeLacy adjudged Clements guilty, and
ordered him to be placed on probation for
three months
The testimony was that Suydane was driy-
ing his machine along Pennsylvania avenue
near 18th street, when two small boys dis
charged their bean shooters at him, and he
received the blow of bean or piece of putty
in the face. Leroy Mark was riding behind
Mr. Suydane. After a short chase he cap
tured the defendant. who was turned over
to the police.
Automobiles who were present in court
told of the trouble they had experienced
from small boys throwing things as they
were passing. In deciding the case Judge
DeLacy declared that he recognized that
automoblists had rights which he was
bound to uphold.

Mrs Cooper Sues for Accounting.

Mrs. Anna J. Cooper. the former principal
of the NJ street colored high school. has filed
a suit for an accounting against the United
Security, Life Insurance and Trust Com
pany of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Cooper tells
the court that January 6. 1892. she borrowed
s., 600 from the defendant and gave as Sc
curity deed Of trust on premises No. 17O6
18th street northwest The debt was to be
paid in monthly installments extending over
a period of twenty years.
When the loan was negotiated, she de-
clares she was told that she would not be
required to pay more than per cent inter-
est for the money advanced She has kept
up the payments, she declares. and up to
date has paid the company $7,341.1 10, not
withstanding which. she says. a recent
statement given her by the company dis
closes a balance of 81, 7O4.63, claimed by the
company to be still due on the loan. This
balance with the amount already paid, she
says, would total $9,045.S2.
She asks for accounting as to the
amount due, and claims that she has over
paid the principal and legal interest and is
entitled to have the trust released. She
asks that any attempted foreclosure be en-

Directed to Inspect Material.

w. ]. Douglass, the engineer Of bridges,
has been directed by the Commissioners to
visit the two plants in Philadelphia where
the fabrication Of the structural material
for the X street bridge and the iron rail-
ings for the Connecticut avenue bridge is
being prosecuted. These trips of inspection
will. according to the Commissioners, be
made about four times a month.
Work is about to be started In the Phila-
delphia plants toward the construction Of
the material for the X street bridge across
Rock creek and also upon the Connecticut
avenue bridge railing. and. in the Judgment
of the Commissioners, 1t would be more
economically and efficiently inspected d.
rectly by the engineer of bridges rather
than in the customary manner of employing
an inspecting engineer. The Commissioners
expect that this work will be completed by
the LIST of February.
