MUST REPAY DISTRICT.
Colored Woman Failed to Follow
Juvenile Courts Instructions

Failing 10 heed the mandate of the
Juvenile Court in the application of funds
derived from a judgment in the trial of
her husband for non-support, Betty Mann,
colored, was yesterday declared by Judge
De Lacy to be in debt to the District
government to the amount of SI6. She
was ordered to repay this amount at the
rate of So a month.
The misunderstanding, as ii was termed
by Betty, came in deyoting a part or all
of s. week paid by her husband from
last September until the latter part of
June 10 the support of a son instead of a
da lighter, as the court had ordered.
Thomas Mann, the husband, was tried on
a non-support complaint filed by his wife
in September, 1905, and was ordered to
pay through the court 81 week for the
support of his wife and daughter. Louise
Mann, then fifteen years Old. Andrew
Mann, the son, at that time seventeen
years old, was apparently ignored.
Last September the girl, Louise. was
arrested for incorrigibility and commit
ted to the care of the board Of chill
dren's guardians until she became OF age.
From that time until the latter part of
June, when the husband stopped his pay
ments, the son derived the benefits from
the 81 previously given the daughter.
The lapse in the application of Thomas
cash was revealed during an inquiry by
the court into the reasons why the huS-
band stopped the 81 payments In June.
He was ordered TO pay his wife 81 u

The car, owned by James II. Knight,

Sullivan, who is Mr.. knights chauffeur,

COURT IN TILT WITH LAWYER
DISCUSSION OVER PLEA IN
LIQUOR CASE.
Judge Kimball Finally Imposes Fine
Suggested Under Alleged Agree
ment Between Counsel.

4 tilt between Judge Kimball of the
Police Court and Attorney Thomas L.
Jores took place this morning during the
trial of Adde Bell, colored, charged with
running an unlicensed bar The defend
ant entered a plea of guilty because of a
tentative understanding, it was stated,
between counsel for the defense and the
assistant corporation counsel that the
latter would not oppose $500 fine or
three months in the workhouse through
a default.
The attorney for the defense announced
the terms of the agreement to the court,
who. however, refused to accept II unless
in the form of a direct recommendation
from the prosecuting officer.
IF the prosecuting attorney has any
recommendation to the court said Judge
kimball. L shall be pleased to hear and
consider it. He is an officer OF the court
and we have always worked in har-
mony.

mendation to the court. and he has so

Jones. He has investigated this case.

already suggested
A long discussion ensued between the
counsel and the court over the merits OF
the case and the reasons why Justice
would be subserved If the sentence sug-
gested We're imposed. After hearing
Sergt. Brown of the third precinct who
stated the defendant made several illegal
sales last Sunday, the court imposed a
fine of $500 with a three-month work.
house default.
The failure of the assistant corporation
counsel TO make a recommendation in the
case this morning is significant in view Of
the courts refusal to accept recon-
mendation in vagrancy case several
days ago. AT that time it was suggested
that a Nagrancy defendant be given her
liberty upon her personal recognizance.
The court ignored the suggestion, how
ever and ordered a siX-month default in
the workhouse in lieu of a ffye-hundred-
dollar bond.

home, 1905 Stevens court Sunday after

mcfarland Hopes for Haste.

Commissioner mcfarland said today
that he hoped the bill will be passed early
in the regular session of Congress by both
houses. SO that the commission might get
10 work and prepare a law within the
next year. Meanwhile. however, he be-
lieves the legislation for the regulation Of
assessment companies, prepared by
Thomas z. Drake. superintendent of the
insurance department.. and urged upon
Congress by the Commissioners last win
ter ought to be passed in advance of gen
eral legislation, for the protection of the
better classes of companies and of the
public. especially as the customers of the
assessment companies are mostly poor
and many of them ignorant people.
Commissioner Mcfarland has been de-
sirous to see a model insurance law sub
stituted for the fragmentary provisions
Of the District of Columbia code. and has
been In conference from time to time with
Mr.. Drake, superintendent of insurance
for the District of Columbia. and other
insurance suDerintendents and experts,
with view to having such a law drafted.
. Ever since the insurance department OF
the District was established under Com
missioner Macfarlands supervision, with
Mr.. Drake as superintendent, the need for
a comprehensive and scientific insurance
law has become more and more apparent
as the department carried on its work.
Mr.. Mcfarland said today that in that
respect the District of Columbia was no
worse off than other jurisdictions, and
that the need of a model insurance law
was felt every where.
The great pressure upon the District in
surance department and its lack OF ade-
quate force prevented superintendent
Drake from preparing the draft of a law,
although he took part in the conferences
OF insurance commissioners and did much
preparatory work.
