ASKS GAS REHEARING.
New York Company Petition in the
8O-Cent Decision

Late yesterday afternoon petition was
filed in the United States Supreme Court
by the Consolidated Gas Company of New
York city asking a rehearing or else q
modification of the courts recent decision
in the case requiring the company to obey
the eighty-cent-sas law passed by the leg
islature.
The petition goes at length into legal
and technical reasons for asking rehear-
ing, and concludes by urging the court, in
case a reheaying is not granted. to mod
ify its decree rather than send the bill
back to the circuit court for further pro-
ceedingS. The brief contends that the
company would by the latter action lose
control of the s9.OOO,OO0 deposited, which
is its only security against final demon
stration that the eiShty-cent rate is in
valid. Moreover, the dismissal of the bill
would leave the company unprotected
against the enormous penalties imposed
for failure to comply with the pressure
provisions. and would make valueless the
mass of testimony that has been taken at
great cost.

GIRLS VISIT COURTHOUSE.
Blanks of Marriage Licenses Fewer
Than Before They Came.

The business Of the clerks office of the
District of Columbia Supreme Court was
suspended for fifteen minutes late yester-
day afternoon. and the clerks scurried
about showing all the blank forms used
in the conduct of the court to a class of
thirteen young women from the National
Park Seminary at Forest Glen, Md.
The visitors were chaperoned by Miss
Harriet Freebey. professor of business
law at the seminary, who explained that
she was making the rounds of the judicial
tribunals of the city in order that her
class might become acquainted with the
appearances of the courtroom and the
method of procedure that obtains.
The interest of the young ladies. how
ever. seemed to center around the mar
riage license counter. and each one
stealthiIy folded and took along a blank
license of which it is supposed long let
ters will be written to the dear ones at
home. and perhaps not a few sonnets in
dited.
Miss Freebey said the class had been in
troduced to Justice Brewer of the United
States Supreme Court. and were much
pleased with the interview.

WORKED FOR COUNTRY.
References to Late Emperor Con-
tanned in Proclamation.

"Our late emperor ruled the empire for
thirty and four years. He kept on his
clothes through the night and took his
food after dark. earnestly devoting him
self to the work of government. We
hoped that his glory would be long en-
during and that he would live to COM
pIete the reorganization of government.
But the sacred body was too frail. On
the 21st day of the 10th moon of the Bath
year of Kuang Hsu he took the dragon
ride to be a guest Oh high. We have en-
tered OIL the great succession: the divine
utensils are very heavy; the responsible
ity rests upon this feeble body; we think
of our youth and scanty merit. and fear
we shall be unequal to the test.
Tie above are some of the statements
made in the proclamation issued by the
new Chinese emperor on the occasion of
his enforcement in December, copies of
which have been received at the State
Department.

Ask Abrogation of the Contract.

Alleging Disorderly Conduct.
Special CorresnOndence Of The Star.

| Special CORRESPONDENCE OF The Star.
| ROCKVILLE, Nd, January ~ 1909.
Many citizens of Potomac district are
not willing to stand an increase of Sc
cents in their tax rate to provide pike
from Potomac to the Conduit road, dis
lance of about four and a half miles.
John A. Garrett, as attorney for a num-
Der of the taxpayers of the district, APP
peared before the county commissioners
yesterday and asked that the contract
for the construction of the road, which
was recently awarded to Theodore A.
McAtee of Pennsylvania be revoked.
Mr.. Garrett presented petition setting
forth that many of the taxpayers who
raise funds with which TO construct the
pike had no idea that ii would mean an
increase of 10 cents. or anything like that
much. in the tax rate for the district and
charging that the contractor, Mr.. McAtec,
and the engineer, r. Kenneth Waters. are
not the proper persons to be i'll charge of
the work. for the reason that they are
without sufficient experience and knowl-
edge on the subject
Object to Laborers.
Another reason urged in the petition
why the contract should be taken from
Mr.. McAtee is that he is having the work
done by Italians in preference to laborers
from the county. Referring to the en-
ployes in question. it is set forth:
THE daily practice of these men seems
to be to imbibe freely of intoXicants fur
nished by cOmmissary near the scene
of work The Sabbath day is a day of
general celebration. when intoxicants are
freely dispensed and imbibed and drunken
brawlS are of frequent occurrence. Their
chief sport each Sunday afternoon is the
mule race, in which the half-starved and

delight of the onlookers. who wager their
money or time checks on the results of the
contests. These episodes are Followed by
gambling. fighting. cursing. swearing and
vulgarity sufficient to shock the morals
and decency of any community.
Regarded as Unsafe.
1T is regarded by the citizens as unsafe
TO travel on this road. and the women
folks are afraid to venture upon the high
way for fear of insult. injury or robbery
by this gang of desperadoes, who go armed
with pistols, dirk knives Or stilettos.
The allegations of the petition concern
ing occurrences among the laborefs
aroused the interest of the commissioners.
While they were not regarded as valid
reason why the contract should be re-
voked. suggestion was made that the
sheriff and his deputies give the charges
consideration.
A delegation of Potomac district tax
payers also appeared before the board
and insisted that Mr.. McAtee be allowed
to complete the contract, and who denied
the accusations of the petition concerning
lawlessness among the workmen.
The commissioners decided against the
petition. but 1t is proposed to ask the cir
cult court to restrain the board from con-
tinuing work on the road.
