N STREET LOUNGERS ARRESTED
FOATY-TWo MEN AND WOMEN
PICKED UP BY THE POLICE.
Action Taken in Consequence Of Nu-
merous Complaints From George
town Business Men.

Forty-twO men and women, described
as M street loafers over in Georgetown,
were caught in an extended raid last
night by the seventh precinct policemen
in a concerted effort to break up the
source Of numerous complaints by bust
ness men along that thoroughfare.
The raid has been an annual affair
for the past few years by Capt. Snyder
and his men, the last being little over
a year ago, when SO many arrests were
made that the loafing and lettering COM
planned of was practically broken up un-
til the latter part of the present summer.
and yesterday it was decided
to clean the street up effectually.
Acting under orders from the precinct
commander, Sergt. McQuade and four
men in citizens clothes. began to patrol
the street a little after dark, and con-
tinued their tour Of duty until well
toward midnight. Every loafer and person
who was unable to give a good account
of himself was picked up by the detail
and sent to the station house in the
patrol wagon under disorderly assembly
charges.
The greater number of the arrests took
place between 8 and 10 o'clock, between
30th and 36th streets.
Of the forty-tWo persons arrested,
thirty-six furnished collateral at 81 each
and failed to appear In the Police Court
this morning for trial. The remaining
six were held at the station house over
night and tried before Judge KimbaIl
this morning. Fines ranging from 81 to
S. were imposed. several producing the
cash, while two of them were COM
mitted for short workhouse terms.

LUNCHMAN HOLDS THE FORT
AGAINST MARKET
COMPANY CONTINUED.
Sustained in His Possession Of Stand
by Justice Stafford Until Given
Thirty Days Notice.

The resistance of Charles s. Bowling,
proprietor of an eating stand in. the Cen
ter Market, to an attempt of the mar
ket company to Dust fisn. has proved eff
fective. Justice Stafford today continued
the injunction granted by Justice Ander-
son last week against the Washington
Market Company preventing them from
attempting to dispossess Bowling until
they had given the tenant thirty days
notice
Bowling charged that the market people
closed up the entrance to his eating stand
after they had vitiated a notice to quit
by accepting rent for the current month.
His brother. Roy Bowling. in order to
keep actual possession of the stand, al
lowed himself to be nailed up in the
stand. while his brother, through At
torney e. F. Colladay, sought legal
redress. Justice Anderson's temporary
restraining order allowed the Bowling S
to resume business, pending a hearing
of the market company today.
Attorney A. A. Birney for the market
company contended that the tenancy OF
Bowling was governed by an old lease,
under which he had possession of the
stand, and as this provided for five days
notice the company had the right to
eject the tenant at the expiration of the
notice given.
Attorney Colladay, for the tenant con-
tended that the lease having expired,
Bowling became tenant by sufferance,
and as such was entitled, under the code,
to thirty days notice to quit.
Justice Stafford sustained this latter
view of the law, and directed that the
injunction stand.
1t is probable that the market company
will serve notice October / calling on
the Bowlings to vacate the stand, which,
1t is claimed, interferes with a scheme of
the company to have all the refreshment
stands at the market under one man.
agement
Bowling is sure of his stand for at least
two more months. and should proceedings
to eject be then begun in the municipal
court, may by appeal delay his departure
many moons.

One Of the stories concerning NJ. Glenn

how he recently nonplussed practical

lions to people all over Paris to big
dinner at Clemenceau's house.
Some days afterward M. Clemenceau
was surprised to receive letters from total
strangers accepting his kind invitation
to dinner" and thanking him most cor.
daily. Now the ex-premier is a man OF
wit, and instead of flying into temper he
realized that some one had been playing .
trick upon him. 30 he gave orders for a.
dinner, and II was duly held.
His unknown guests were. highly de-
lighted at being in the company OF the.
statesman. but their ardor.
was somewhat damped when after the
banquet their host broke the news to
them that their presence there was really
due to a choice little joke which had been
perpetrated by some person or persons
unknown. Naturally the diners FASTENED
to depart as soon az they conveniently
could.

ington's efforts to secure the next avia-

and all tidewater Virginia, and the prop
osition to make the big feature an aero
plane flight from the National Capital to
this city, following the line Of the Poto-
mac river, means local activity that
should develop valuable cooperation.
The news that this city will be the goal
in a real airship fight will be received
here with enthusiasm when it becomes
generally known, just as 1T was received
by dozen prominent men who were ap-
preached today by The Star correspond
ent. All were delighted to know of such
a prospect, and just as soon as the plans
are in tangible shape all of the CONNER
cial bodies will take hold in way that
will indicate that Norfolk is wide awake
to the importance of the movement.
Secretary y. A. Hall of the board of
trade and Business Mems Association I'M
mediately subscribed the cooperation or

city, and is probably the wealthiest and

THE board Of trade will assuredly CO.
operate to get the next aviation meet
for Washington he said, land when
Washington gets 1t Norfolk will do all it
can to make it a success. The proposed
fight to this city sounds good to us. You
may state unqualifedly that Norfolk is
in for it, and every commercial body in
this city will lend its efforts in Wash
ington's behalf. The value Of the meet
and the flight down James river would be
Of untold value to this entire section. and
I do not know Of any event, hardly ex-
ceptipg the return Of the battleship fleet

such crowds as would surely flock this
way to participate in the aviation pro-
gram at this end.
I'VE will be pleased to learn from
Washington at once just what steps we
can take in advance to help the project
along"
Norfolk has been interested in airship
tests ever since the experiments of the
Wright brothers down on the North Caro-
lima coast, a short distance to the south.
At that time the Wrights made the real
tests that convinced them Of their own
success.

for.
Of course there would be an immense
number of non-paying spectators, but
the receipts from the stands and inclos-
ures would be great. Washington also
has the advantage that it is the home or
the diplomatic corps, and the event would
bring them out in body. In fact 1t is
conceded the meet would secure for
Washington the greatest concourse OF
distinguished spectators that was ever
here for an event of any sort.

To Exhibit The

 Charles A. Sterne. prominent broker
 and General J. P. Ellacott. mechanical
 engineer, all of Chicago, arrived ir
 Pine Blug Friday and will carry out
 the work of testing the new Olive' cotton picker. which had been planned
 by Thomas Oliver, the Chicago in' ventor, a few weeks ago. and which
 was delayed by the sudden death of the inventor. Thomas Oliver died
 suddenly while on his way to the
 Illinois Central station in Chicago few days ago. 1t being his intention to board a train dor Pine Bluff. where he was to have exhibited his new ,ln- vention.
 <. The cotton picker had already leen shipped to Pine Blun and arrived in this city few days before Divers death. It has been moved onto the plantation of D. l.. Trimble. four miles east of this city, where 1t will 0e operated Monday of the coming week. Press dispatches from Chicago have stated that the cotton picker had not been perfected and that some minor parts would delay the perfection o! the machine until someone Is found with ingenuity enough to carry out the work of the inventor. MT. Leeper declares that these statements are misleading; that Mr. Oliver perfected the machine before his sudden death ani that 1t works perfectly. He as- serts that the new cotton picker will completely revolutionize tho cotton picking industry In the South.
 Many farmers and cotton growers in this section of the state have been iu- vited to witness the exhibition Mon- day. The cotton planters of this city arc greatly interested In the new ma chine because of the great claims that are made for 1t.
