COMPLAINS TO THEPRESIDENT
Inventor Wants TO Know Why Pat

VIII Receive Reply from District
Commissioners by ROOseyeIt's
Direction.

The Commissioners have been directed
by the President to acknowledge and
consider a letter recently received by him
from Richard F. Preusser, IA Eleventh
street northwest, the inventor of an i'm
proved style of car and automobile
fender, which, he states, was adopted by
the District. but has never been put liz
use by the street car companies. Tho
reason Of this alleged discrimination, ac-
cording to Preusser, Is that Gen. George
IT, Harries, of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. IS the original
promoter of the present style Of car
fender. In his letter Preusser writes,
in part, as follows:
I invented an automatic and operative
street car fender which was adopted by
the Commissioners Of our District, and
I was notified to this effect May ;. 1915
The railway managers. Messrs. Harries
and Dunlop, have refused TO use my
fender. claiming that they have a fender
in use. The accidents caused by these
sO-cailed tenders are recorded in the Dis
trict police and health departments, and
cOuclusively prove that they are not
leiideIsr according 10 congressional law
The Engineer Commissioner. on my com
plant states that he has not the author

Commissioner Biddle suggested that
Preusser be Informed IN answer 20 his let
ter TO the President that his fender is one

lied To be used by the street railways

ADRIAANS RESTORED TO BAR
Attorneys Disbarment by Supreme
Court Held Unjust.
Court of Appeals Reverses Decision
and Orders That Defendant Be
Again Admitted TO Practice.

john II, Adriaans is restored 20 the rolls
Of the District bar. and the order Of the
supreme Court of the District disbarring
him is reversed by the District Court
Of Appeals in a decision handed down
yesterday. The Supreme Court decision
disbarTing Adriaans was rendered by
Chief Justice Clabaugh Four justices
concurred with him. but Justice Wright
Gissented. The reversal is based on the
argument Of Justice Wrights dissension.
The charges against Adriaans were filed
with the Supreme Court in November.
1905, by the grievance committee Of the
bar. charging Adriaans with misconduct
The charges were based on proceedings
in an equity cause in 1Sg4-that Of Fry VS..
Abrams. The plaintiff alleged that
Adriaans had secured property through
misrepresentation, and demanded a re-
conveyance. In his answer, Adriaans de-
MED fraud, and stated that upon learn
ing Of the misunderstanding had offered
to reconvey the property in question.
The Court Of Appeals finds that there
was no finding of fraud against Adriaans
when the equity suit was heard, and that
in view of the long delay I'm bringing
the charge and the absence Of any other
proof of unfitness, the lower court was
not justified in finding Adriaans guilty
and in disbarring him.
