peared at the hearing that the de-
PENDANT shipped it's goods from Whit

Every offense Separate.
The defense argued that the Elltins
law authorized prosecution for but one
offense and maintained that there
could be conviction on only one count
The court held that the law is violated

ed examination and YVES held to the

Threatens to Bring Suit.
Blodgett recently wrote letters to
each Of the four district court Judges
threatening to bring suit for damages
against them if they do not settle with
him for the injury he claims they
have done him. He charges the judges
with conspiring to secure his indict,
ment for criminal libel
Blodgett is now trying to escape
trial on the charges of criminal libel
by habeas corpus proceedings. The
petition for writ of habeas corpus
was fled yesterday before Judge Bish
op of the supreme court and the hear
ing was fixed at o'clock.
Blodgett claimed that he is being
illegally held in custody by Sheriff

court arbitrarily overruled his motion
to set aside the indictments against
him and as a result Martin Davis, one
of his bondsmen, withdrew. He 'alss
claims that his demand for an .mne
date trial was refused Rlodgett car
ried the case to Judge Bishop becaut
three of the district court judges were
the subjects of the attacks on which
he was indicted and Judge Miller wal
at that time county attorney.

REDUCING WESTERN GARRISON.
Senator Clapp Informed of Secretary
Taft's Policy.

Secretary Taft has briefly outlined his
policy in regard to the reduction or the
garrisons in certain western army posts IN
the following telegram sent to Senator
Clamp of Minnesota, who had made most
vigorous protest against the withdrawal OF
a mart of the garrison from Fort Smelling,
near st. Paul:
1T is not proposed to remove cavalry
from Fort Smelling. Squadron OF the fth
Cavalry soon to be en- route from Philip
pines will take the place of the squadron
removed. So far as the cavalry at Forts
Assinniboine and Keogh are concerned. the
absence of troops in Cuba and the neces-
sity for concentrating squadrons into regi-
ments require the removal of the squad
rons at Forts Assinnboine and Keogh,
which has long been contemplated. The
order has been announced, but will not be-
come effective until long after am at Min
neapolis, and the matter can be discussed
there if it is thought wise. Further state
ment of the reasons for the departments
action in writing is now being mailed"

OVERCOME BY GAS.
William Hopkins at Hospital in Criti-
cal Condition.

A defective gas fixture was probably re-
sponsible for William Hopkins, ffty-five
years of age, being overcome by gas while
in his room at 1919 G street this morning
Hopkins was unconscious when found
shortly after o'clock, and was removed to
the Emergency Hospital. Mrs. Mason, in
whose house Hopkins occupied a room, on
the third floor, said that her roomer was
not well when he retired last night, but
she knew nothing of his having inhaled the
gas until she sent Alexander Robar to his
room this morning with a cup of coffee.
Robar, she stated, reported to her that
the gas jet in the room was partly open
and that the window was not tightly closed
Had 1t not been that the window was partly
open, she said, she Thought her roomer
would have died before morning. DR.. CO.
burn was summoned to the house. and 1t
was at his suggestion that the unconscious
man was removed to the hospital.
Mr.. Hopkins has occupied a room In the
house of Mrs. Mason for the past three
years. Mrs. Mason said that there was no
stop to the gas fixture in the room Hopkins
occupied, and she supposed he merely turn
ed the key a little too far when he extin-
guished the light. 1t was stated at the hos
pital later in the day that Hopkins was
still unconscious, and that his condition Is
critical.

troduced Gen. George II. Harries, vice presi-
dent of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company. The latter, in turn intro
duced Commissioner Mcfarland, who made
the address of welcome. Mr.. Macfariand
said
We are most happy to have you men Of
light and leading here again and on this
typical Washington spring day. We are
sorry you waited thirteen years after your
former visit. Why not come every year
and make this your permanent meeting
place? No city has more claim upon the
interest of the electrician. The first COM
mercial application of electricity to public
utility was here, when, under S. F. B.
Morse, on the telegraph instrument now in
the National Museum, the first public tele-
gram, the inspiring and prophetic words,
What hath God wrought? was sent over
the first telegraph line. Here Joseph Henry
lived, and here Alexander Graham Bell
now lives. In the patent office are the title
records of every electrical invention, and
we have in our underground trolley street
railways, in our electric light and power
telephone and telegraph system, the last of
whose overhead street wires are, under our
policy. to go underground this year, excel
lent examples of your great art and indus
try, so marvelously grown even since your
meeting here thirteen years ago.
Besides most of you are Americans,
representing the principal cities and towns
of our country. although we are happy TO
welcome specially the delegates from our
sister. Canada AS Americans you must
reJOlce 10 come 10 your Cdplldi, you mus
feel at home here. We who live here and
bear half the municipal expense, claim no
superior title to you who only visit mere
and all together bear only the other nail
of the expense. We know that you take
deep pride in the national capital, and that
you want to see all our plans for its de-
velopment, physically and morally, until II
is the most perfect capital In the world,
carried out We have no gates, we have
no keys and all Americans are born free
men of this capital We count upon your
steady interest in support of all that your
senators and representatives may do for
your capital. And we know that you will
go home better Americans for having re-
newed your patriotism here at the very
altar of your country
l is for irons convenient at home
And com fort indeed when a. broad you may roam.

vention is the builder and owner of the
famous electrical house" at Schenectady.
This gentleman, who, despite the fact that
he knows more about electricity than the
modest and blushing violet. only
consented to speak from the heart out on
condition that his distinguished name would
not be embalmed in type with his utter
ances.
Touches the Button.
With this understood, he touched a but
ton and proceeded.
To start WITH he said, II had plans
drawn for two houses, one with and one
without a kitchen chimney The cost of
the chmneyless house was enough less
equipment, and after a couple of years ex-
perience, 1 can say-with my wfe's au-
thorfty-that nothing would induce us to
go back to coal and gas
In the kitchen there are an electric oven.
gr1ddle cake cooker, meat broiler, cereal
cooker, water heater, egg boiler, potato
steamer frying pan, coffee percolator and
stove for ordinary cooking utensils. The
$55.
But this is not the only way we use cleo
trlclty. In the dining room there is a small
electric table for chatting dish and perco-
lator. On the veranda and in the smoking
room electric cigar lighters make matches
an unknown quantity. In the sewing room
the machine is run and the f1atiron heated
by electricity. In the bath room an electric
shaving mug furnishes hot water in less
than minute. An electric radiator takes
the chill Off the room and an electric heater
warns the water.
Means to an End.
Il am not sure that l have given you
complete list of all our devices To build
a fire in our house means simply to turn
switch or to turn plug, and the required
degree of heat, mild or extreme, is there in
a few seconds The possibility of regulating
the degree of heat exactly as wanted re-
suits in considera BILE economy of fuel.
AS to cost, l have kept careful records,
and the average monthly bill for electricity
for two years is $500 month, or about
10 per cent more than we paid for coal or
gas. And there are no ashes to cart away,
no fires to build, no dust or dirt. The cleo
trio kitchen is neat, clean and healthy
as the sitting room.
There is no doubt that the electric home
will be commonplace in little while.
The immense increase in the sale of all
sorts of domestic electrical apparatus proves
that
Adapted to the Homes.
This statement from the expert is of par
ticular interest in view of the fact that the
most recent use of electricity has been it's
adaptation into the requirements of homes.
1t is probable the man who owns the cleo
trical house skipped some of his apparatus,
or else hasn't acquired as yet everything in
the market, for the home can be supplied,
nowadays with everything, from a massage
machine to an electrical billiard cue chalker,
and including lawn mowers, and curling
irons.
