Potomac Company Got Necessary

Protest against the erection by the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company of a sub
station at the intersection OF Sherman
avenue and Howard street. was made at a
hearing before the Commissioners yestsA.
day by several owners Of the surrou IL
property.
A. T. Stewart. an attorney, declarAd
that the erection of the station would in
jure the value Of the surrounding prop
erty, and contended that the Commission
ers are without the power to grant the
permit under a section Of the building reg
ulatiOns. which prohibit the erection OF
such building on a square occupied exclu-
sively by residences.
He declared also that the necessary con-
sent of two-thirds Of the property owners
within ninety feet of the proposed build
ing had been obtained by subdividing the
lot and deciding a portion of Il to secre-
tary Whitehead. Of the Potomac Electric
Power Company, who had given his con-
sent TO the erection Of the station.
A Ike argument was made by W. E.

protestants, who contended that under
the present regulations the Commission
ers are without power 10 grant the per

W. V. Mahoney and J. P. Heath, own

property would be injured.
Gen. George II. Harries. vice president
OF the Potomac Electric Power Company,
argued that the regulation was not in

were but two dwellings on the square. as

II could not be made 10 prevail II a store
or business house should be erected on
the square. which could be done IL neces-
sary. In answer to this Mr.. Ambrose in

The Commissioners announced at the
conclusion Of the hearing that the various
arguments would be given consideration.

An employe of the park conceived a
plan of getting some easy money" by
buying and railing of the famous re-
yolver. He sold something like fifty
chances. and Thomas Wheatley got the
right one. He displayed the INSTRUMENT
of noise ostentadously. and was finally
hailed before the mayor for carrying con-
cealed weapons. The mayor gave Wheat
ley the choice Of six months IN prison
with the revolver or freedom without It,
and the mayor kept the gun.
Then Deputy Marshal Weiner, who ar
rested Wheatley. brought before the bar
Of justice Thomas A. Henry and Harry
Wilson, Of Washington. accused Of drunk
enness and disOrderliness. After a lee
ture on the eternal fitness OF things
Mayor Garrett had them loaded onto a
ear and shipped back 20 Washington.
Then. before going to bed. he delivered
one more lecture. 1t seems that some
twenty-five employees Of the park have
taken a notion they can ably critIcise
shows they do not Ike. and have created
more or less disturbance. The mayor
herded them together IN the Office of the
park company last night and told them
that as other malefactors who disturbed
the park invariably were arrested. he
could see no reason why employees should
be exempt, and warned them 10 be good.

The good offices Of the chairman Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and the
Commissioner OF Labor. the authorities
empowered 20 act under the provisions OF
the Erdman law, have been sought to
settle by mediation the differences be
tween the Colorado and Southern and
its dissatisfied switchmen.
There has been friction between en-
ployer and employees for some time. Yes
terday Chairman Knapp and Commis-

from Vice President A D. Parker, OF the

Of the Erdman act be invoked in order
that the present trouble on the Colorado

The indications are that Messrs. Knapp

purpose. They are hopeful OF bringing
the conflicting parties together without
leaving Washington.

NO NEED FOR

Remembering the ice scarcity OF last
summer, the people Of wilmington
win be pleased 10 learn that every
ice house in the Pocono mountains,
which supplies this city with consld-
erabie quantity Of ice, is filled to over
flowing.

houses st is hard to conceive an excuse

This year Is not going 10 be an ex-

that there win be plenty Of ice lefi

year is exceptionally fine and should
hold out well. In most cases twelve
