BAD FOR CROPS
George Aitkin Says the Warm Weather May
Ruin the Hay Crop.

KUN tne nay tToP'
Burlington, Jan. 25-George Aitkin,
Of Woo 1stock, secretary of the state
board of Agriculture, who was in the
city last night to attend the meeting
of the Vermont State Forestry Asso-
citation was asked what might be the
effect of the warm weather just past on
the crops of next season. Mr. Aitkin,
who is one of tbs best farmers in the
state is of the opinion that the hay
crop on low lands will be greatly
damaged by water freezing and injur
ing the roots of the grass. In many
places trees have budded so that 1t is
likely much damage may result from
this cause.

treating the ponce regulations, he says,
may be considered in the nature of model.
In the last paragraph of his letter the
corporation counsel gives q synopsis of the
situation when he says II consider that
1t would be inadvisable to enact into a
and every separate police and other regu-
lation that the Commissioners have au-
thority to enact AS the needs OF the COM
munity develop and the exigencies Of diff
ferent situations present themselves, the
Commissioners are now enabled to meet
them by enacting appropriate regulations.
These regulations are in a state of motion
or change, so that by the time municipal
code should be prepared it would be neces-
sary to revise 1t to meet changes that oc-
Cured while the code was in course of
preparation.
And after it had been prepared changes
would be constantly taking place. 1t is
ma nifest too, that the person or persons
in charge of such eodification should be,
In a measure, under the control and In
entire sympathy with the executive officers
OF the District. The sources OF our munl-
cipal law are SO varied and complex that
the person or persons selected to codify
them should be familiar with the subject
matter from actual experience in the prac-
well acquainted with them as 1t is possi-
BILE to be. 1 recommend the appointment
of some such commission as was appointed
to revise the statutes of the United States,
with an allowance of not less than two
years to do the work in, and at an appro-
pirate fixed salary and reasonable ex-
penses for clerical assistance.
The Commissioners have the report under
consideration.

LOWER COURT AFFIRMED.
Decision Announced in Starkweather-
Jenner Case

Justice McComas, delivering an opinion
of the Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia, late yesterday afternoon, affirm
ed the decree of the District Supreme Court
in the case Of George B. Starkweather
against Herbert w. t. Jenner and others.
Mr.. Starkweather filed suit in the lower
court to set aside sale made under fore
closure proceedings, at which Mr.. Jenner,
as trustee for himself and Others was the
purchaser. The bill charged fraud and also
prayed that in the event the court should
let the sale stand Mr.. Starkweather and
other members of the Crescent Heights syn
dicate should be allowed to participate In
the benefits accruing to Mr.. Jenner and his
associates from the Increase in the value Of
the property.
The lower court held that the charge OF
fraud had not been substant1ated by the
testimony and held that Mr.. Starkweather,
by not contributing to the cost of purchase
and by delay in bringing action, had lost
the right to claim any benefit from the
purchase. The appellate court concurs in
these findings.
The property involved IN the controversy
is known as Crescent Heights. and is stu
ated on Spring road between 14th and 10th
streets At the foreclosure sale. Mr. Jenner
and others purchased the property, as in
dividuals, 1t was claimed, and not In behalf
of the syndicate of which they and Mr..
Starkweather had been members.

UNDER THE NEW LAW
PROSECUTIONS FOR NEGLECTINa
TO SUPPORT FAMILY.

The first case In the Police Court to be
prosecuted under the act of Congress which
makes 1t a misdenleanor for man to will
fully neglect or refuse to provide support
sor his wife or minor children under sixteen
years of age, when they are in destitute
circumstances, and which gives the Police
Court the right to order such husband to
make weekly payments to the wife or chill
dren. came up before Judge Kimban today.
The previous law ON the subject made 1t
a misdemeanor for a man to fail or neglect
to provide food, shelter and clothing for his
minor children, but 1t went no farther. In
the new law. in which the wife in destitute
or necessitous circumstances is also pro-
vided for, there is further provision, as
follows.
Provided. that before trial, That the con-
sent of the defendant. or after conviction
instead Of imposing the punishments here
inbefore provided. or In addition thereto,
the court. in its discretion, having regard
to the circumstances and 20 the financial
ability or earning capacity of the defend
ant, shall have the power 20 make an or
der which shall be subject to change by 1t,
from time to time, as circumstances may
require, directing the defendant to pay
certain sum weekly for the space of one
year to the wife, or 20 the guardian or the
custodian of the miaor child or children, or
TO an organization or to an individual ap-
proved by the court as trustee, and to re-
lease the defendant from custody on proba-
ton for the space of one year upon his
her entering into a recognizaace, with or
without surety, in such sum us the court
may direct"
The Laws Contrasted
In the past it has been customary with
the judges to suspend the sentence in the
case where the defendant agrees to pay, for
the benefit OF his children, certain sum
per week. Under the new law the court
has the power to enforce its order directing
the defendant to pay certain sum weekly.
This, 1t is claimed, will give better results.
AS the law also protects the wife who
may be In destitute circumstances, more
cases of this kind will te brought into the
Police Court. 1t is expected.
The first case in which the new law in
regard to weekly payments was enforced
was that of William H Diggs, who was
charged with falling to support two minor
children.
After the evidence in the case supporting
the allegation had been given Judge kim
ball turned his attention to the financial
ability of the defendant. and it was de-
termined that IS per week should be the
stipulated sum, which Diggs must pay each
week to his wife for the support of the
children.
Judge Kimball ordered Diggs to pay $S
per week to his children, through the board
of childrens guardians, for one year. and
his personal bonds were taken to carry out
the order.
The law was also applied In the case of
James Simms who agreed to give 81 per
week for the support OF his two minor
children.

Decision Not Reached Regarding
Strike of Bottlers and Drivers.


Two meetings are announced to be held

men interested in this matter are exclu-
sively the employees of local bottling es-
tablishments
The establishments which formerly bot
tied the AnheuSer-B Busch. Pabst and Schlitz
beers declare they are in no manner con-
cerned In the outcome, as they have re-
fused to concede to the terms of the bot
tiers and are now having their beer bottles
filled at the home breweries and Shipped
to this city by rail-.
1t Is against these bottling works that
the beer wagon drivers said to have
their alleged grievance, and they may re-
fuse to handle the out-of-town product in
consequence.

drivers tomorrow morning will be deter
mined at a meeting of the drivers to be
held at o'clock this evening at CosteI-
los Hall, 9th and g streets northwest

PROPOSED NEW CODE
CORPORATION COUNSEL THOMAS
SUBMITS REPORT.

With the receipt by the Commissioners
of a report from Corporation Counsel
Thomas today, apparently another step has
been taken toward the preparation OF
proposed new code Of municipal law for
the District of Columbia. The need Of such
a codif1eation was made particularly evi-
dent during the work of the examining and
Investigating committee, which made In
quiry into the business methods of the
different departments OF the local govern
mont, and it was their recommendation
that an effort be made to procure legts-
letjon providing for the codincation of all
laws Of a municipal character which are
operative within the District Of Columbia:
Another strong argument to the same end
was contained in the report OF the special
legal (codiflcation) committee of the Board
of Trade, which was submitted to the Com
mfssioners a little more than a month ago.
In his report the corporation counsel
states that two compilations of similar
works have been made In the District one
the Compiled Statutes" made by William
Stone Albert in 1904. and the other the Code
of the District of Columbia.
Five years were required for the compile
ton of Mr.. Abert's work, and 1t involved
an expenditure of about $1,000. Mr.. JUS
tice Cox gave one year and q committee OF
the bar association another year to the
preparation of the present code. Mr..
Thomas conducted considerable correspond
ence with the legal officers of other cities
in his efforts to ascertain what the expense
of the proposed undertaking would be and
what the custom of other municipalities
was with reference to their codification of
the statutes
Only Practicable Method.
Mr. Thomas states It to be his opinion
that the only practicable method OF treat
ing the matter is that of a codifcation In
the nature of charter which will embrace
the constitution and officers Of the District
government and their powers and duties
and general regulat lions apDertaining there
10 under separate headings
This charter or code, he adds. ssould
