The old man intended to walk to Wash
ington, and was inquiring his way at
Broad and Arch streets early yesterday
morning. when Reserve Policeman Reed
took him to the city hall. Financially he
was "broke," and he was hungry, and
the policeman thought he should have
some attention. At the city hall arrange
ments were made by which he made the
trip by rail.
Schrum said he would not have minded
walking to Washington. and. according
to his story, it would not have been a
difficult feat for him. On the first day of
this year, while in New Orleans, he
thought he would like to see his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Fannie j. Fleichkept. who lived
in San Francisco, SO he walked to the
western city.
Upon reaching there he was told she
was living in Sacramento. and he tramped
to that city, but did not find her. Then

ROCKVILLE. Nd, May II, 1910.
Justice of the Peace Joseph Reading Of
this place has been designated by Gov.
Crothers as police justice for Mont
gomery county, a position created by an
act of the late legislature. He will be
required to sit at least four days each
week in his Office in the courthouse at
Rockville, and has announced Mondays.
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays as
the days he will hold court.
The police justice will have jurisdiction
in all cases classed as misdemeanors,
and the law requires that all persons ar
rested for such offenses be taken before
him for hearing or trial. AS many Of
these cases will be disposed of promptly,
it is thought hundreds of dollars will be
annually saved the county by reduc-
ton in jail and circuit court expenses.

:: French Astronomers Views.

PARIS. May 11.-Astronomers In France
are making observations on Hai'eys
comet that are attracting the greatest
interest.
Maurice Hamy OF the Paris observa-
tory, reports that the length of the tail
has increased from five to ten degrees in
three days.
Prof Deslandres Of the University
Of Dion finds a temperance in the
spectroscope of cyanogen. a colorless.
poisonous gas. having an almond-like
odor and burning with a purple flame,
obtained from superheated mercuric
cyanide. This poisonous gas was OBJ
served in January and February. but dis
appeared In March. In his report he says
that the hypothesis that the gas Is liable
to affect the terrestrial atmosphere
would not be at all absurd.
On the other hand. Camille Flammarion
thinks that the tail of the comet Is simply
an optical phenomenon produced by the
flight through ether, similar to the wake
of ship at sea.
NJ. Marchand maintains that the comet
shows important variations from it's pre-
dicted orbit, which presage unexpected
surprises.

DECREE OF LOWER COURT
Affirmed ON APPEAL
Judgment for $500 in Favor of
Mrs. Bette Crump Against
Railway Company.

Sustaining the right of drivers of We
hicies to use the portion of the highway
covered by street railway tracks when the
necessity Of traffic requires, the District
Court OF Appeals, in an opinion by
Chief Justice Shepard, affirms the judg-
ment for $500 rendered i'm the lower
court in favor of Mrs. Bette Crump
against the Capital Traction Company.
In 1907 Mrs. Crump. while operating
an electric runabout on eth street north

because of an approaching storm. To
pass a coal cart going in the same di-
rection she steered her runabout onto
the tracks of the company, when ono
of the cars struck the runabout, throw
ing her to the ground.
The traction company alleged there
was contributory negligence, but the
lower court held that she had a right
to use the tracks if the necessities OF
traffic required it.
Mrs. Crump was represented by At
torneys Charles j. Murphy and IL. II.

Judges Pattison, Jones and Toadvin are

State Fire Marshal Ewell testified as to
the beginning of the fire that destroyed

the finding of the body, identified only by
the clothing. This was brought from the

the defendants were seen coming from the

ADVERSE OPINION HELD
ON NYE TAXATION BILL
Commissioners and District Assessor
Opposed to Assessing Intangible
Assets-Early Report Due.

There is no possible chance that the
Commissioners will make a favorable re-
port on the Nye bill providing for assess
ment and taxation Of intangible assets.
The matter will be taken up by the Com
missioners at once for a formal report.
1t is expected that the entire situation
will be placed before Congress at length.
Some suggestions have been made to
Assessor Richards that he should dis
miss the whole business in about five
words, but inasmuch as he and every
other official of the District government
is against the idea as set forth in the
Nye bill, it is probable that when Con-
gress does hear from the Commissioners
there will be plenty of good reasoning
behind the statement that unfavorable
action is recommended.

PESHAST|N To GET
AGENT
Commissioner Ruled on APP
plication-I Investigation
Made Last Week.

Following the visit of the state
railroad commissioner, Lawrence, TO
Peshastin last week, and the show
ing made as to the needs of a rail-
road agent stationed there by the
Great Northern, the commission has
ordered the Great Northern to in
stall an agent at that place at once.
The shippers of Peshastin made
quite a showing when the commits
sioner was there last week, An elab-
crate banquet was served, an auto
drive was given over the adjacent
territory, and the needs of an agent
were very strongly presented. Com
missioner Lawrence did not care 10
render a decision on the application
at the time of the visit to Peshastin.
owing TO the fact that his fellow
members of the commission were not
able to be present, but the matter
was taken up before the full board
few days ago in Olympia and the
railroad company was notified to in
stall an agent at once. This news
will give great satisfaction to the
Peshastin people, for they have been
fighting for a year for better ship
ping facilities.
