COURT MUST TRY ALL CASES

Commissioners, Denying Judge Kim
balls Request. Insist ON Pre-
sentinG Every Complaint

The request of Judge Kimbau. Of the
Police Court that the corporation coun-
sci be authorized to noIle pros. all cases in
which the evidence submitted by the Dis
trict satisfies him a prima facie case has
not been made out. was yesterday report
ed unfavorably upon by Commissioner
Macfarland.
BY an order of the Commissioners OF
August, 1904. the corporation counsel Is
required, upon examination OF evidence
submitted by the District. and without
hearing the other side 10 present the
cases for trial before the court. In his re-
quest for an amendment, Judge Kimban
said this not only imposed an additional
burden upon the court, but caused humiH-
alton to citizens who were forced to ap-
pear upon trivial charges.
stand by Former Order.
The following recommendation was
made TO the Board Of Commissioners by
Commissioner Macfarland
4 move that Judge KimbaH be inform
ed that the Commissioners respectfully
differ with him and can see no reason for
abrOgating or modifying their order of
August 1904, against which no one has
hitherto made protest to them, and which
they believe has worked in the interest
OF the District Of Columbia. They are dis
posed to assume that he was incorrectly
informed as to the facts IN the two cases
which he cites as Illustrations Of mis- ar
gument, since It is plain that neither Of
these cases under the letter and spirit Of
the order should have been taken into
court. They are Ioath to believe that the
assistant corporation counsel at the Po-
lice Court would so cOnstTue the order as
to defeat its purpose or purpOsely take
into court cases in which it was clearly
his duty TO ask for a nOlle prOseQui.
should Not Try Gases Privately.
obviously this order. like all orders,
must be executed not only with fidelity,
but with discretion, and In its spirit, as
wei as according to its letter. The funda-
mental question at issue is whether cases
presenting prima facie cases in favor of
the District of Columbia shall be tried
privately by the assistant corporation
counsel in his Office or by the judge Of
the court appointed by law for the pur-
pose Ol II NiI5 cases III DuDiiL anu uAtNci

"The Commissioners were satisfied by
their inquiry in August, 1904, that private
trials in the office of the assistant cor
poratiOn counsel should not be permitted.
but that all prima facie cases should be
presented to the Police Court for its de-
cisiOn. The object Of the Commissioners
was not only that all cases should be
treated impaTtially, but that there should
be no ground for suspicion OF favoritism
on the part Of the assistant corporation

prOvement then made in this matter
should now be abandoned or jeOpardized' -

newspapers throughout the country as
favoring a special 81 ssion Of Congress for

He repudlates the statement and de-

that If tariff revision was 20 be taken up
this winter a special session should be
called after March T.
The Senator is also quoted as saying
that unless there was speedy and effective
tariff revision by the Republicans, the
people of the country were likely 20 in
trust the Democratic party with the
work. When shown the statement, Sen
atOr Cullom said he had made no such
remark
For the first time IN half q century Sen

caused a desertiOn Of that boulevard by

The Intellectual Young Man.

The late Maurice Barrymore told a
capital story one evening. 1t has gone
the rounds more or less since then,
but have never seen it in print" says
correspondent to one of the eastern
exchanges.
"A society bud goes to her first
big party. 1t is a Gorgeous social
event, and she is all futtering with
excitement. The star of this big party
is a young man recently returned from
a long trip abroad after completing
his course at Harvard. He is very
handsome, very brilliant, very rich. All
the young women are overwhelmingly
interested. The brilliant young man
meets the little debutante, and falls
head over heels in love. He dances
with her repeatedly, and then asks if
he may call. The girl, very much
agitated, says that she will ask her
mamma. Mother. equally agitated,
tells her daughter to say to the young
man that they will be delighted to have
him call, and he says that he will drop
in on the following Thursday evening.
The society bud goes home, her head
whirling with the excitement of her
first filtration and the anticipation of a
call from the real catch of the season.
