Name of Eminent American to Be
Perpetuated.

work Of one OF the most eminent of Amer
lean mathematician and astronomers in
the incipiency of our valiant naval his
tory.
William Chauvenet became famous In his
profession long before the civil war and
lege in 1910. He was a native of Pennsyl-

Maple Tree Shall Stand.

The Commissioners refuse to remove a
large maple tree on the south side of New
York avenue between 14th and 10Th streets,
Notwithstanding Mr.. u. H. Ridenour, jr,
manager of the Hoffman estate, declares
it is old and decayed and that it darkens his
office.
Mr.. Ridenour, in his letter requesting the
removal of the tree, inferred that New
York avenue between the streets mentioned
Is a business street and not much of tree
street." and in view of the fact that the
tree in question is old and decayed and is
Objectionable, inasmuch as it keeps the
light out Of his newly constructed office, he
thinks the Commissioners should remove it..
When the matter was referred to the su-
perintendent of parking the latter said the
tree is a good, substantial soft maple, and
is located at the curb and affords no inter-
ference with ingress or egress at the office
building mentioned, and that it's shade
should not be objectiora able to any one, and
recommended to the Commissioners yester-
day that they refuse to comply with the
request. which recommendation was ap-
proved by them.

ments.

TOO MANY CIGARETTES
MANS DOWNFALL ASCRIBED TO
MENTAL ALTERATION.

Cigarette smoking is held to be largely
responsible for the troubles of Roy A. Nc
knight, the young man who was arrested
Friday night at the Metropolitan Hotel.
where he was staying with his bride Of three
weeks The view of his father Is that he
did not know what he was doing. and upon
that representation made to Prosecuting
Attorney Ralph Given in the Police Court
yesterday the charge of false pretenses
placed against Mcknight was nolle pressed.
The money obtained on the check was re-
funded.
When Meningitis father, who resides at
Lynchburg, Va, was informed of the boy
arrest, he fastened here and brought with
him certificates from doctors and authori-
ties a. the Western State Asylum at Staun-
ton, Va, showing that the young man has
been in the asylum for his trouble and that
he is still liable to have periods of mental
alteration. His condition of mind is at
tributed by the doctors to two causes
first, depression on the brain caused by
a fall from baby carriage when he was
child, and second, from smoking cigarettes
excessively. AS a result Of these two
causes attack of temporary insanity
comes about every five months. it is said.
In support of the claim that smoking is
in part responsible for his condition Nc
knight admitted that he had been smoking
a large number of cigarettes during the
past week and that he had smoked the pre-
vious night.
Several days ago Mcknight needed more
money than he had and got c. j. Hunt of
the Dstict surveyors office to indorse
check which Mcknight had for $50 on the
Frs National Blank of Nashville, Tenn.
The check was cashed here at the Lincoln
National Bank, but day before yesterday
it was received from Nashville. protested.
Mr.. Hunt reported the matter to police
headquarters, and Detectives Helan and
Horne went to the Metropolitan Hotel and
told Mcknight what had happened to his
check In consideration for the young wife
Mr. Hunt did not ask for the arrest of Nc
Knight at that time.
1t is stated, however, that Mr.. Mcknight
Friday presented a draft for S1CO drawn on
payment of his bill at the Metropolitan
Hotel a telegram ELECTED the information
that the draft not good. The police
were again called in, and Detective Helan
went to the hotel. He waited for NC
Knight in the lobby. and there asked him
to go to police headquarters. Later Mr.
Hunt informed the girl wife of her hus-
bands arrest and escorted her to his home,
where she stayed Friday night. She was
greatly shocked by the arrest, but had re-
gained her composure partially by the time
the trial opened yesterday.

TRIANGLE FOR A PARK.
District Transfers Ground to the
United States

Part of the triangle formed by the inter-
section of New York avenue. New Jersey
avenue and NJ street is to be turned over
to the United States government to be
used as public park. The District Com
missioners decided upon this action yester-
day afternoon, and based their action upon
the recommendation of Commissioner Bid
die.
They would have made arrangements to
devote the entire triangle for park purposes
had not the Truck D fire engine house
been located opposite and 1t was necessary,
according to Commissioner Biddle, to utilize
half of the triangle as a means of access
for the truck company. However, the Com
missioners believe this division of the tri-
angle will make little difference, and are
sure that the citizens in that neighborhoOd
will be very grateful. as the latter have for
several years been requesting the CONVEX
sion of this triangle into a public reserva-
ton

DEMURRER ovERRULED.
Justice Gould's Construction of Sec
ton of Code.

In the equity suit of Frederick Vogelsang
against Thomas F. America and others,
Justice Gould. in Equity Court No. 2. yes
terday rendered an opinion. The questions
involved in the case were raised on a de-
murrer filed by the defendants, through
Attorney A. Leftwich Sinclair, to a cred
itor's bill filed by the complainant, repre-
sented by Attorney Irving Williamson.
The main ISSUE 1t is stated, required the
construction for the first time Of section
1920 Of the District code, which relates to
fraudulent conveyances. The complainant
set forth that March 10 last he recovered
a judgment against the defendant Thomas
F. America and caused execution to be Is
sued thereon, which was returned "nulla
BONA" that the judgment was based on
cause of action which accrued September
September %, 1905. 1t was further set
forth that the defendant America knew
September IA, 1905, of the right Of action
mentioned, and between that date and Sep
that the complainant intended at once
to institute suit against him; that Sep
TENDER 90. 1905, the defendant, for the pur-
pose of hindering, delaying and defrauding
street southeast which he had heretofore
owned, to one Mitchell for the recited con-
sideration of $40, and that the same day
Mitchell. for the same recited consideration,
conveyed the same property 10 the deIend-
ant Carrie N. America, who is the wife of
defendant Thomas F. America; that Amer
lea has no other property or estate what
ever
The section of the code In question pro-
vides that conveyances of property made
with the intent to hinder. delay, or de-
fraud creditors or other persons having
just claims or demands of their lawful
suits, damages, or demands, shall be void
as against the persons so hindered. delayed
or defrauded."
Justice Gould announced that the de-
murrer filed by the defendants to the COM
plainants bill will be overruled and that
leave will be given the defendants to file
an answer to the bill within ten days. JUS
tice Gould In his opinion confined himself
to the law points raised by the demurrer
and did not decide whether the allegations
of fact contained in the complainAnt's bill
were true or not, all questions of that char
acter being left for future consideration by
the court after testimony has been taken.

Pet Deer Captured.

Mr. William Andrews of Camp Springs,
assisted by Jesse Day Of the same place,
recently caught the young deer which es-
capped from Col. Randle's place at Congress
Heights last May. The deer was captured
near George W. Knox's farm, but had been
seen as far south as Broad Creek. Efforts
had been made to capture him, but until
Messrs. Andreas and Day slipped up on
him and grabbed him by the horns he had
eluded pursuit. The deer dragged them
through weeds and bushes and jumped with
them into bitches, but they held onto him
and brought him safely back to Congress
Heights. When it saw it's mother, Jennie
Deer" the pet of Congress Heights, it be-
came docle. The deer had antlers eight
inches long, but made no effort to fight.
The swiftness with which he took his cap
tors through the briars and bushes de-
stroyed two suits of clothes The boys
said, however. the sport was great and they
enjoyed the excitement.
