RESEMBLES BUTTON MYSTERY,
Horse, Horse, Who Has. Charlie
Simms' Missing HorseP

What became Of horse belonging to
Charles Simms, a resident Of Piney
Branch road, near Takoma Park. yester-
day is a question that the police of the
tenth precinct were unable to solve last
night. They were told that the animal
died, and that the District dead animal
wagon was wanted. 1t happened that the
wagon did not reach the place indicated
until about twenty-four hours after the
message was sent to the stable, and yes
terday afternoon when the wagon reach
ed the Simms' farm the carcass of the
horse was not to be found.
Here's where the horse died." Smms
said, pointing to a place where the grass
showed the imprint of the animals body.
He was certain the hor:e died there
Wednesday morning. He had seen the
body there later in the day and was I'M
able to understand about it's disappear
ance. The police investigated and the
conclusion was reached that the animal
had suffered from the heat: that 1t had
recovered and strayed off to find a shady
place In the woods. although searchers

Barges DESTROYED by Fire

Under the direction of Lieut.. Dent of
the United States engineers office, the
fleet of old coal-carrying barges lying In
the month of James Creek canal for the
past two or three years. slowly going to
wreck, were yesterday saturated with Oil
and set on fire. For several hours they
made a lively blaze
The hot sun of the summer had made
the old boats as dry as finder. Fire
needed only start to put them out of en-
istence. At shutdown last night the
wrecks were still smoldering, but little
except the portion under water was left
There is no danger of their ever menacing
navigation about Washington.
The old barges were brought here sew
eral years ago by the Allegheny Coal
Company and were to be used to transfer
coal from the dumps on the Eastern
branch to points about the harbor. After
being used for a short time they were
laid up at the mouth Of the canal For
the past two or three years they have
been practically abandoned.
A few weeks ago two barges went
adrift in a blow and lodged on the sea
wall about the portion of the Potomac
Park to be reclaimed. The engineer
Office at that time tried to find an owner
for the barges. Unable to do so they
were burned.
Fearing that the five other barges lying
at the canal would obstruct navigation
they were also burned.

ARNoLD's VERSION.
Fort Washington Saloonkeeper De-
clares He Submitted to Authority.


clares He Submitted to Authority.
In regard to the recent exciting Incl
dent at the saloon Of Joseph H. Arnold at
Fort Washington, Piscataway district,
when the proprietor was dispossessed, Mr..
Arnold has issued a statement which pre-
sents his version of the affair
He says that Sheriff Hurd and Deputy
Sheriff Garrison. accompanied by eight
other men, called at his saloon and mott
fed him they "were going to throw out"
Arnold. Mr.. Arnold says he found their
papers incorrect and refused to leave. At
that juncture, he maintains, Deputy
Sheriff Garrison took off his coat and
flashed a big gun
II picked up my gun and told them to
wade In and help themselves, and the first
man who attempted to touch anything L
would use it on him. says Mr.. Arnold
The authorities Withdrew within a short
time.
Upon their second visit. Mr. Arnold
says, he submitted to the action of the
sheriff and his assistants. Mr. Arnold
says he was then locked up at Hyatts-
will from Saturday evening until Monday
morning, but was then released by the
court.
AS to the published statement that
Sheriff Hurd or Deputy Sheriff Garrison
put a gun under his nose,'' at the time
of their second visit to the saloon, MIR.

MAY INSPECT PATENT
ASsIGNEE'S RIGHTS RECoGNIZ-
ED BY DISTRICT COURT.

Justice Wright of the District Supreme
Court yesterday directed a writ of man
damus to issue against Commissioner of
Patents Moore to compel him to allow
William H. Boyer to inspect and obtain
copies of certain pending applications in
the patent office.
The decision is said to settle an impor-
tant matter of practice in the patent Of
flee and to be of interest to all patent
attorneys throughout the country.
Joseph Berger, jr., filed applications for
patents for sewing machines in the patent
Office in 1902 and 1903. which were as
signed to the Metropolitan Sewing Ma
chine Company under contract. The
company, 1t is alleged, refused to abide by
the contract and to retransfeE the applica-
tons to Boyer, subsequent assignee OF
Berger.
Suit brought in the New York state
courts to compel the retransfer was de-
cided in favor of Boyer and retransfer
ordered. The Metropolitan company APP
pealed. but the appeal did not act as a
stay of proceedings, and the company was
ordered to execute and deliver to Boyer
an assignment in due form. This was
done and duly recorded in the patent Of
flee.
Commissioner Moore refused. it is de-
giving Boyer the right to inspect and OBJ
tain copies of the Berger applications. on
the ground that he did not have to recog
nize his assignment records as controll-
ing, because the New York case was
pending on appeal Boyer then applied
to the District Supreme Court for the
writ of mandamus.
IF conflicting claims to the applica-
tions existed there could be no doubt OF
the correctness of the commissioners
position said Justice Wright, but it
seems to me that a claim which has been
adversely adjudicated by court of full
jurisdiction cannot longer be said to ex-
st as an adverse claim. I cannot escape
the conviction that the judgment of the
supreme court of New York. until re-
versed Or modified or until superseded
by appropriate proceedings. is conclusive
as between the parties to that suit on all
questions of ownership Of the applca-
tons; that the full faith and credit clause
of the Constitution reaches the case, and
that the executive branch, as well as the
judicial tribunals of the government. are
required to recognize the conclusive eff
feet of that judgment"
Attorney c. L. Sturtevant represented
the petitioner. and Attorney w. s. Ruck-
man appeared for the commissioner.
