Waddell's Win Last Spring.

There was as good as 100 to l on tap

bat from the right people. Several OF them
tried unavailingly to get a little money
down on the thing around Charlottesville
but there was nothing doing-no poolIooms
down that way. and no handbooks in opera
ton. When the papers came out the next
morning informing the players that Wad-
dell II had done the trick with the 100 TO l
price placuried all over him. the Nationals
were the ssddest lot of ball players that

This cheerful message was received

WEEPS As LAWYER
ARRAIGNS HER.

Judge de Haven will instruct the
jury at 9 o'clock this morning in the
case of Mary Louise Bowen, charged
with embezzlement of $1,000 postal
funds, the arguments having been con-
cluded yesterday afternoon. The de-
fendant, who had hitherto succeeded in
mastering her emotions, broke down at
the close of George Clark's denuncia-
tory address and wept profusely. She
became SO detected that her mother and
sister were obliged to lead her from
the courtroom.
In the course of his argument for
the defense Bert SchlesiRger made
some sarcastic remarks concerning
what he characterized the overzeal of
counsel for the Government in attack
ing the chastity of the defendant in
spite of the fact that there was no evil
dence whatever in the case even tend
ing to show that she was other than a
chaste woman. He said that We're he
on the Government side of the case he
would resign his position before he
would go on with the prosecution un-
der the circumstances. Were he in the
place of the counsel for the prosecu-
tion he would have dismissed the case
after hearing the testimony of the de-
fendants mother. He asserted that
he had made similar dismissals when
he was himself an Assistant United
States District Attorney.
Lincoln Church closed for the de-
fense in brief and effective address.
Assistant United States District At
torney George Clark closed for the
prosecution. He said that it was i'm
possible that Miss Bowen could have
been insane during the three years in
which she had been giving the Gov
ernment money to Louis w. Baker and
making reports remarkable for their
neatness and skill.

BOARD OF WORKS
CALLS 4 HALT.

The Board of Public Works held a
special meeting yesterday and directed
that a letter be sent to the Chief of
Police requesting him to stop the
United Railroads from running cars
over Stanyan street, between Fulton
and Hayes, on the ground that they are
being illegally operated.
After the meeting adjourned Presi-
dent Duffey went to the scene and
found that tracks had been laid on
the two blocks, despite the promise
made by the officials OF the company
last week that work would stop pend
ing decision as to whether the fran
chise for the two blocks had been for
feited. Duffey on finding that the COM
pany had broken faith in laying the
tracks ordered the cars to be stopped
and threatened that if his orders were
not complied with he would detail a
gang of men to tear up the tracks.
The company then decided to stop
operating the cars.
The board has asked it's attorney,
James A. Devote, and the City Attor-
ney for an opinion es to whether the
franchise was forfeited because work
on the two blocks was not commenced
within a specified time.

number of contractors for settlement
of their claims for street work which
was completed and afterward partially
destroyed during the disaster. The

The conductor was not inclined to
assist in the capture of the armed man,
but Barney impressed upon him the
duty that all good citizens owed the
city in the face of the prevailing reign
of terrorism, and finally enforced on
him a promise of cooperation

mans hands shot aloft, and in another
second Barney was backing him to the
waiting car, to the CONSERVATION of the
other passengers. Once aboard the
car the man protested that he was a
special policeman, employed at the
Chutes. He exhibited his star to prove
his story, but Barney refused to listen
to him.
That's an old game with you graft
ers." said Barney You might just
as well shut up and wait till we reach
the police station before trying to
make explanations"
The man kept protesting, however,
and cried elatedly when the car was
approaching the Chutes and he saw
another special policeman on guard. He
shouted to the latter. and the car came
to a second standstill. The special
at once verified the mans story, ex-
planning that he was 7. B. Blackman,
a special policeman employed around
the Chutes. Barney was crestfallen,
and when Blackman told him he was
under arrest, handed over the gun
and accompanied the pair to the park
police station. He was released at
once when he explained himself. It
wouldn't be right, declared the police,
to have a man OF Barney's caliber in
