1T WAS PRETTY WARM.
Steam Aids Old Sol in Melting Dis
trict Employees.

While the thermometer was lowering
around the 100 mark yesterday the me-
chanical force of the new District building
was busily engaged in trying the steam
heating appliances. 1t is needless to say
that the clerks and the Commissioners
suffered from the heat by the aid of the
sizzling steam radiators in their Offices.
Supt Ward Of the new building under
whose supervision the mechanical depart
ment comes. thought that this would be
a good time to try the steam heaters and
for several hours had the furnaces on at
full blast. When Mr.. Ward was asked
by several half-prostrated employees why
he didn't postpone his experiments until
after the closing hour of the building he
said the test was one which required seven
or eight hours. and he selected the most
practical time, he thought.
In connection with the mechanical ap-
planes throughout the new building
there are cold-air shafts in the various
offices, but they are not in working
order. The clerks are now hoping that
Supt. Ward will begin experimenting with
these.

KILLS BIG RATHER.
Exploit of William T. Harris of the
City Post Office.

A rattlesnake five feet and ten inches
in length. seven inches in girth, with a
button and ten perfect rattles. Is scarcely
pleasant object to encounter during a
pleasure drive, and yet this is precisely
what greeted William T. Harris, a clerk
in the city post office. and his brother,
Harvey j. Harris. of Mount Ephraim,
Montgomery county. Md, while they were
driving along the road about four miles
from Sugar Loaf mountain recently
The attention of Mr.. Harvey Harris was
first drawn to the presence Of the reptile
when his horse drew back and began to
snort. Casting his eyes ahead he saw the
RATHER, twenty feet away. coiled and
ready for a spring. moment later the
snake sounded its warning and Mr.. Har-
ris leaped from his buggy and killed 1t
with his driving whip.
The reptile is said to be one of the larg-
est of Its kind ever seen in that part of
the country. Its beautifully spotted skin,
mounted and stuffed by the taxidermist,
peacefully rests among collection of
similar trophies that his conqueror has
gathered in the course of his experience.

Who IS HIS LAWFUL WIFE?
LOCAL MAN IS. NOW SUPPORT
ING TWO WOMEN.
Awaits Decision Of Judge DeLacy
Which Depends on Papers From
South Dakota.

Pending the arrival of court records in
E. Davis of 1913 X street is at present
supporting two wives. one divorce and
the other a recent bride. The temporary
support of the former was agreed to yes
terday afternoon in the Juvenile Court
during the non-shpport proceedings when
counsel for the accused agreed. on behalf
of his client. to pay 81 week to the first
Mrs. Davis until the papers in question
could arrive in this city.
The question raised by the respective at
torneys in the case involves a ruling of
several years ago by the United States
Supreme Court. in which it was held that
when a married man obtains di-
vorce in a state other than that in which
he lives. after willfully DESERVING his wife
and going to the second state for the
avowed purpose of obtaining a divorce.
the divorce in question is invalid except
in the state where 1t was granted.
In support of these contentious Gran
dial Mackay, attorney for the first Mrs.
Davis, cited the case of Haddock VS.. Had
dock. decided by the United States SUI
preme Court which created no small
amount of excitement several years ago.
w. Earl Ambrose appeared as counsel for
Mr.. Davis.
Arraigned Several Days Ago.
The arraignment of Mr.. Davis came
about several days ago, when the first
Mrs. Davis, from whom the accused OBJ
tanned a divorce a year or more ago in
South Dakota, appeared at the Juvenile
| Court seeking for some method by which
| her former husband could be made to
| support her and their small child. She
stated she was in destitute circumstances
| and was greatly in need of the necessities
| of life. The matter was carefully looked
| into, particularly the validity of the South
Dakota divorce. and the result was the
| issuance Of a warrant for the arrest of
| her former husband charging him with
| on-support.
Before granting the continuance pend
| ing the arrival of the papers in the South
| Dakota divorce case. Judge DeLacy told
Mr.. Ambrose. counsel for the defendant.
of the destitute condition of the first Mrs.
| Davis. Whereupon the latter agreed to
| pay the complainant s. week until 1t is
| finally determined who is the lawful Mrs.
| Davis.
| After obtaining divorce from the COM
| planning witness in the present case the
accused man married again. His second
| wife is the daughter of George p. Shep-
herd. living on K street northwest.
