went together to answer it, sending
Bates TO keep watch toward the lake.
Our friend, the sheriff. with a dep

up and talked to us over the wall.

The sheriff listened respectfully,
resting his arms on top of the wall.
You ought to understand. Mr.. Glen
arm, that l amt the court; I'm the
sheriff. and it's not for me to pass on
these questions. I've got my orders
and I've got to enforce 'em. and hope
you will not make 1t necessary for me
to use violence. The judge said to me,
We deplore violence In such cases.
Those were his honor's very words"
You may give his honor my compli-
ments and tell him that we are sorry
not to see things his way. but there
are points involved in this busine ss
that he doesn't know anything about.

to lay them before him"

The Englshman's haste was his
undoing. light fall of snow a few

Morgan now acted on the hint We

detective had undoubtedly staggered
the caretaker, and we were slowly re-
treating toward the house, Larry with
one hand on the collar of his pris-
oner and the other grasping the re-

frequently in the ribs. We slowly
continued our retreat, fearing a rush,

A Little courtship Comedy.

A good-looking. well-to-do bachelor
Of Manchester was being teased by
some young women Of his acquaint-
ance for not being married. He said:
III marry the one OF you whom on a
secret vote you elect to be my wife.
There were nine women in the COM
pany. Each one went into a corner
and used great caution in preparing
her ballot and disguised her handwrit-
ing.
The result was that there were nine
votes cast, each receiving one. The

termination that they will not speak to

Gasoline Engines for schooners.

The use of gasoline engines as motive
power is spreading from small pleasure
craft to larger vessels employed in trading
on the Atlantic coast, and 1t Is predicted
that with a cheap fuel that can be used in
such engines there will not be a schooner
on the coast that will not be equipped with
a propeller wheel and a small power en-
CINE for service in Gains or in head winds.
Even with gasoline at its present high
figure and with no assurance that 1t will
not be boosted higher, the use Of the
auxiliary engines continues to increase.
One Of the largest vessels to be equipped
with a gasoline engine and screw is the
coasting schooner Marie Gilbert, now load
ing at Baltimore for southern port. She
is equipped with a siX-cycle gasoline motor
of 15O-horsepower, that when necessary
can drive the vessel at a speed of about
six miles an hour. The vessel usually de-
ponds upon her sails and the winds to
drive her along, and the engine is only
used to aid her when the breeZes fail.
The Marie Gilbert Is a vessel of 900 tons
burden, and is 15S feet long. She halls

WANT ORDER MODIFIED.
Hearing Given on Enforcement of
Fire Escape Law.

More than dozen members of the Hotel
Mems Association appeared at "a public
hearing before the Commissioners at the
District building this morning and dis
cussed the recently enacted fire escape law
which is being enforced by the local Of
ficials, and which is calling for much pro-
tests from the owners and managers of
certain hotels affected. They contend that
the officials enforcing the law are attempt
ing TO require the hotels to erect more fire
escapes than is necessary for public safety
They are also OF the unanimous opinion
that the law, unless modified. will reduce
the earning capacity of all the local hotels
AT least 10 per cent, and in many cases will
result in cOntScation.
The hearing developed that so many Of
the protesting hotel keepers had such wide
~ different views in regard to modifying
the law and Interpreting its construction,
and in offering suggestions that the Com
missioners decided that better results
would be attained and less time taken if
each hotel keeper would submit separately,
in writing, his plans for rcmedying the law,
and suggestions that ID remove some
of the alleged burdens i. the hotel keep
ers and at the same time comply with the
intent of the law.
This suggestion met with the favor of the
members of the association present and the
hearing was adjourned, with the announce
ment that after receipt of their various
communications lle commissioners Will de-
eide upon something definite.
Conrad Syme, attorney for the Hotel
Mems Association acted as Spokesman
and presented the case before the board
He stated many of the horels which have
already a sufficient number of fire escapes
and other precautions and have always
been looked upon as safe. have been order
ed to erect additional escapes. He pointed
out that number of the hotels will have
to cut numerous apartments on each floor
and construct more Railways in order to
conform to the law, which win not only
necessitate considerable expense but will
mean the loss of just that much room and
the subsequent reduction of revenues. He
explained to the Commissioners that all of
his clients were eager to comply with the
law and afford their patrons the best pos
sible means of safety in case of conf1a-
grafton, but at the same time they are sat
isfied the law can be enforced in a much
less costly manner and the men affected
could be relieved of what will ultimately
prove a severe hardship.
Capt Vim. Kelly, assistant engineer COM
missioner and in charge of the Construction
of buildings in the District; Building In
spector Ashford. Fire Chief Belt and Fire
Marshal Nicholson were present at the
hearing.

TREATY DRAFTED.
Joint Commission Proposed to Settle
Disputes With Canada,

1t was officially admitted today that
treaty had been drafted between the
United States and Great Britain providing
for the appointment of joint commission
which will consider all of the complex
questions connected with the water bounda-
ries between Canada and the United
States. These will include the regulation
of the use of the waters of the great lakes
the amount of water taken out for power
purposes, the navigation of the ST. Johns
river between Maine and New Brunswick
the use of the waters of the Milk river in
the northwest, and all questions pertaining
to the fisheries. not only in the great lakes
but on the Atlantic seaboard This treaty
will require the action of the United States
Senate before coming effective, but il is
possible that an arrangement in the nature
of modus vivendi may be reached by
Secretary Root and Ambassador Bryce in
the near future.
