EXPERTS EVAS|VE
ON INFERIOR GAS
Hearing as TO Purity of
Product Hard Fought
Before Court.

The cross-examination Of DR.. Edward
Love, gas expert and chemist for
New York city, brought about a sharp
conflict between opposing counsel in
the suit OF the District against the
Washington and Georgetown gas com
panies for alleged violation OF he law
relating TO purity and candlepower tu
Justice CIabaugh's court this moTrfn 2.
DR.. Love had been undergoing a Ier-
rife cross-fire of questions put 70 him
by Assistant Corporation Counsel Stew
ems and several Of his answers ap-
peared to amuse the experts for the
prosecution. who sat near Attorney
Stevens with their backs to the Jury.
One Of Loves answers especially
seemed to appeal 70 their sense of
humor.
r. Ross Perry, Of counsel for the de-
tense, arose at this point TO protest
against any semblance OF humor being
injected into the proceedings.

Mr.. Perry.
Court Agrees With Him.
Justice Clabaugh immediately stated
that he had notice4 the demonstration.
and would have called attention to IL
before except for the fact that the backs
Of the experts were turned upon the
jury.
Prosecutor Stevens got to his feet at
this point and said that he hoped sin
cerely the demonstration spoken of had
not been noticed
Why do you hope 1t has not been?''
asked Mr.. Perry.
For the reason that you think it
would affect the jury" replied Mr..
Stevens
Certainly" replied the senior counsel
for the defense.
Outside of this tilt between counsel.
the chief feature OF the crosS-eXaInIna-
ton consisted in the failure OF the wit
ness TO give a definite reason why there
should have been the alleged shortages
OF candle power in the summer Of 1907.
Answer Not Decisive.

 Do real tears come into your syes when acting a scene of pathos oa tragedy. or are they merely stmu lated! Some actors claim that real tears do come. but might not this lessen self-control?"
 Arthur Bourchier sent the follow ing interesting reply:

 "The curious difference in temper. ament of nations was brought home to me some years ago while witness ing very fine performance of Sar- dou's old play Fernando" at Daly's theater in New York. In the last act the young Italian husband suddenly finds that he has been trapped into marrying young girl of no parent age whatever-in fact, illegitimate- his rage and grief knew no hounds. yet with it all he loves the girl. The actor wept, and the audience laushed. I presume the fact of man shedding tears was looked upon as ludicrous by the Anglo American audience which filled the theater."

his wife, to the present occasion, which
found on the platform, as q member Of
the faculty, his "brown-haired daugh-

loud applause.
"As tribute TO this "brown-haired
daughter" this writer would say that
she Is one OF the finest teachers as we'll
al one Of the lovaliest personalities in

could only get her consent to become
