LAW IS DEFECTIVE
IN TWO GAS SUITS

That the law under which the District
instituted suit against the Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light Companies
TO recover penalties foT furnishing gas
below the standard in candlepovqe- and
purity Is defective is the statement
maze by Corporation Counsel Thomas
IN his annual report submitted to the
Commissioners today. Efforts to obtain
legislation remedying these defects will
be made by the Commissioners upon
recommendation OF the Corporation
Counsel AT the next session Of Con-
gress.
The two suits against the gas com
panies are regarded BY Corporation
Counsel as the most important of the
year.
The law requires a light of Pecan
dlepower, and the gas to be free from
sulphurreted hydrogen, and MOI TO con
tain more than five grains of ammonia,
nor more than twenty grains of sui
phur in 100 cubic feet of gas saws the
report. The Georgetown Gas Light
Company was sued for defaults I'm can
dlepCwer and for furnishing gas which
contained more than the prescribed
amounts Of ammonia and sulphur. The
Washington Gas Light Company was
sued for defaults in candlepower and
for furnishing gas which contained sui
phurreted hydrogen. At the close Of the
testimony the court held that the Dis
trict was required 10 prove that the
gas was bad continuously for the period
Of a calendar day. although the act of
March Q, 1898, required Inspections Of
gas to be made between the hours of
T. o. clock noon and - o'clock midnight.
The cases are now on their way TO the
Court of Appeals. The law is not clear
as 10 whether each default calls for a
penalty, or whether the default must
continue into the next day There are
other defects in the law which. how
ever. do not admit Of discussion here"
At the close Of the fiscal year there
Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia thirty-four cases for damages
brought against the District. During
the same period the District Of CoIum-
bia Instituted on the law side Of the
same court seven cases.
Twenty street extension cases and
nine general condemnation cases were
tried.
The Assistant Corporation Counsel re-
CURED 70 conduct proceedings f0l. con
demnaticn OF alleys under special di-
rection OF Congress brought fifteen allev
condemnation cases during the fiscal
year. Three Of these eases were dis
continued, SIX fnaIly determined and
six are pending,
Two hundred and sixty-four lunacy
cases were tried, in which 20 were
found to be insane and 81 were found

GILMORE CHARGE
MAY Be BLACKMAIL
Megaphone Man Accused of
Trying to Coerce
Merchant.

Charles /. Gilmore, mega phone artist
on a "rubberneck" wagon, who had
been trying novel experiment in do
tective work az. side line, got locked
up at Headquarters this afternoon on
a serious charge Detectives O'Bnen
and Springman, who maze the arrest,
wanted to confer with the District At
torney's office to ind out whether the
prisoner should be charged with black.
mall or attempted blackmail.
H. Z. Sands, proprietor of the Phila-
delphia Oyster House, Fourteenth and
y streets, went to the house at IS b
street southwest a week ago las Mon
day to collect a bill. He told the police
that, as he was leaving the house, Gil
more stepped up to aim and said:
I'm New York detective and have
been sent down to Washington to break
up this sort Of business. I've been
watching this house and I've been
watching you. You'll have TO come
along with me to headquarters"
Suspects a Joke.
Mr.. Sands was taken completely by
surprise. At first he thought some one
was playing a practical joke.
He willingly accompanied the would
be detective. knowing that If he was
under arerst he could easily straighten
matters out at headquarters. Just be-
fore he got to the District Building
Gilmore. it is alleged, began TO explain
matters to Mr.. Sands. He said he had
sent one man to the penitentiary for two
years. and that it had cost another
business man $1,000 to straighten the
matter out
Now you see what you're up against
Mr.. Sands says Gtmore told him. but
III tell YOU what / can do. I can M
IL up for you for s10O''
Plays Cards Wei.
Realizing that he was being black
mailed. Mr.. Sands told Gilmore that
500 was too much money. but if he
would call around that evening he would
give him 50 in bills and check for
the balance. He marked the money and
tipped off the crossing policeman what
to expect.
Gilmore showed up all right, but got
suspicious that trap had been set
He insisted that Mr. Sands come out
IN the street and pay him the monsy.
This Mr.. Sands agreed to do, supposing
that the crossing officer would bs on
hand, to arrest Gilmore.
But the crossing man was not on the
Job. He was standing on the opposite
corner talking TO friend. Sands mo-
toned to him, and he started across the
street. Gilmore didn't wait for the
money. He took TO his heels. with a
couple Of cops after him, but they
never caught up with him
After that Sands decided to let the
Detective Bureau handle the case. and
Gilmore was taken In custody as he
stepped from a sightseeing car at Sixth
and the Avenue today
Gilmore admits that he was at the
oyster house to see Sands. but denies
that he tried TO get any money frons
him.

Judges Failure TO Act on
Recommendation Brings
Sharp Retort.

Assistant Counsel James L Pugh and
Judge Ivory G. Kimball. OF the District
branch of the Police Court, were at
loggerheads this morning when the
court refused to accept the recommended
ton OF the Corporation Counsel to dis
miss vagrancy case.
A white girl, Katherine Wilson. who
was arrested on Delaware a.,nue last
night by police of The Fourth precinct
during raid, was brought into court
charged with vagraacy. Mr.. Pugh lad
made an investigation Of the matter and
recommended to Judge Kimban that he
girl be released ON her personal bond
on tile ground that she had never been
arrested before. Tn court rfused 70
grant the request Of Mr.. Puch. and
committed the girl to the workhouse in
default of $500 fine. After noting the
suggestion Of the Assistant Corporation
Counsel on the information paper, Judge
Kimball said.
II do not approve IF personal bond
recommendation In Vagrancy cases -
Attorney Frank R Keys, counsel for
the girl, Immediately filed motion for a
new trial on the gTOun1 that his client

When Mr.. Pugh called the attention
or the court to the case several hours
later, he said:

case, 1 shall in the future refrain from

RIVER TTiHIEEETS CALL
FOR BETTER PATROL
Commissioner West Will
Ask Congress TO Provide
Funds for Work.

Thefts from launches and yachts along
the river front have impressed Major
Sylvester. Superintendent OF Police, with
the need Of increasing the force at the
Harbor Precinct to provide for a patrol
of the harbor and upper river between
midnight and early morning. the time
when wharf rats and river thieves
ply their trade.
The theft Of several articles from the
yacht of an employe of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey has decided the Super
intendent Of Police TO take this matter
up with Commissioner West, who has
authority over the Police Department
The midnight patrol probably would
be done by the day force we're it not
for the fact thst they now work from
twelve to fourteen hours daily, and that
their details are particularly heavy and
trying during the excursion season. Ac-
cording to TIE present schedule CT duty,
the sergeant in command and the pri-
Yates report for duty at s o'clock in the
morning and remain on until O'Clock
at night. The same is true OF the en-
gineer of the harbor patrol boat
Vigilant, who, in case OF emergency.
works from fourteen TO eighteen hours
a day.
Recommendation for an additional en-
gineer has been made by Lieutenant
Sutton, in command Of the harhor pre-
cinct, and il is understood that the Com
misstOners, in view OF the urgent need
Of inaugurating the extra patrol of the
river, will ask Congress to provide the
necessary appropriation.

TAFT SEES SELF
IN PICTURE SHOW
President Will Witness Por-
trayal of Himself at
Petersburg.

President Taft visited a scent thea
ter this afternoon for the purpose of
seeing himself in action on a moving
picture screen.
The scenes depicted were at Peters
burg, Va, where the President went
about month ago to assist in the dedi-
cation of the Fort Malone monument.
The pictures from the moving picture
mans standpoint, are rather disappoint-
ing, for much of the time the President
IS seen from the rear. This is caused
by the fact that when ne reached
Petersburg and started on the trim for
the battlefield he did not foIIowe the
Tine of route mapped out beforehand
and the piCturemen were a trine behind
the President, when they took the mic
lures. The President enjoyed the cx-
hibiuons probably even more than had
the films been taken from the points of
view that the picture men had pictured
TO themselves beforehand

CHINA TO NEGOTIATE
LOAN FROM AMERICA
Business Men See Great Era
of Railroad Building
in Empire.

President Taft has received through
the Chinese legation telegram stating
that the Chinese foreign office has been
directed ia take up negotiations with
the American charge d'anaires with a
view Of arranging the Chinese railway
loan so that the American bankers
would share equally with the bankers
OF Great Britain. Germany, and France.
This constitutes the first notable diplo-
matte victory for Secretary Knox in his
efforts TO promote the commercial in
terelts OF the United States in foreign
countries. All eyes are now conferred
upon China, where IN the next twenty
years the world viii probably see the
greatest era OF railroad building that
has ever taken place, not excepting
even the United States.
There are but few miles Of railroad
in the imperial dominions, and the 400
100000 people are rapidly awakening to
the value Of this means Of transporta-
ton. It is expected that the resources
not only of the United States but of
other countries Will be taxed 20 the ut
most to supply the materials for the
construction and equipment of these
roads.

SCOUTS WAR IDEA;
SITUATION ACUTE

While admitting the seriousness Of the
situation between Argentina and Bolivia
over the refusal of the latter govern
ment TO abide by araitral award, the
representatives Of the Argentine gov
eminent here deny the prOba bility OF
war between the two countries.
The explanation given for the with
drawal by Bolivia of its minister at
BuenOs Ayres is that this action was
taken because Of the failure Of the two
governments TO come 20 an agreement
over the boundary disputes between Bo-
livia and Peru. The withdrawal of the
minister would have no grave conse-
quences, II was stated at the Argentine
legation, lbyJ Massachusetts, avenue, to-
