DOLBY CONVICTED
OF AN ASSAULT
Hard-fought Case Ends in
Criminal Court.

One of the hardest fought legal bat
ties in the Criminal Court of the Dis
trict ended yesterday, when Walter
Dolby, through his counsel, Matthew
E. o'Brien, announced he was ready to
receive whatever sentence the court
might impose on the verdict of simple
assault found against him Wednesday
night.
Dolby. up to the time of his arrest
In March. 1910. was employed in the
navy yard, and enjoyed an excellent
reputation. He was arrested on the
charge Of attacking an eight-year-old
girl.
The prisoner was so overwhelmed ct
the charge that he refused to commu-
nicate with friends, and went to jail In
silence Employees Of the navy yard
where Dolby and the father of the girl
had been employed, were so incensed
they threatened to lynch Dolby, and
Warden Mckee put extra guards at the
Jail for a few nights.
Attorney O'Brien prevailed upon Dol
by to communicate with his people
They came to his support Loyalty, and
the fight began. The first trial was one
year ago before Judge Gould. The jury
returned verdict of guilty of an Of
fense which meant fifteen years in the
penitentiary.
Attorney O'Brien moved for a new
trial, on the ground that there was a
notary public on the jury, and Judge
Gould decided that a notary could not
sit on jury IN a criminal case. as he
was an officer of the United States. Dol
bly, was again convicted and was
granted a new trial
He was finally brought to trial before
Justice Stafford. on Monday last. and.
after three days the Jury returned a
verdict Of simple assault.
Justice Stafford sentenced him to
eleven months and twenty nine days in
the District jail.

From the very nature OF the construc-
ton, all buildings are fireproof. and this
immunity from fire Is one of the most
attractive features to; the suburban
HORSEPOWER. Poured houses are made
from cement by the use Of steel molds,
about two feet square. which hold the
cement in place until dried out BY the
use of a great number OF such molds at
a time. the construction is very rapid.
and consequently economical
Every week the record OF lots sold
and Of contracts for erection of homes
in this locality, as reported by the man
ayers, Is constantly growing. Sixty-five
houses are now either completed or con-
tracted for, and the association feels that
the height of the season is not yet
reached by any means.
The Washington herald., 1911-06-24

An attractive feature is the formation
Of colonies. formed by a number Of
friends and acquaintances buying their
lots in groups so as to attain all the
intimacy of neighbors, while retaining
the privacy that the detached dwellings
afford. Many such colonies are in
progress OF formation now. One OF these
consists Of a group of fifteen young
architects, who have gone in together,
picked out contiguous lots, and are
building their homes side by side.
Perhaps the most attractive feature Is
the supply CT spring water in such
abundance from a spring Gil the prop
erty that. with a central supply station
that is under consideration, each house
will be supplied with the purest Of nat
ural water.

When tho World Was Drunk.

Nowhere in all the world today can
be found as many confirmed drunk,
ards as there were among the Thra.
clans, the Iberians. the Celts or the
Scythia1s. The man who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
as queer. The Greeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury Of the Persian feasts. The Ro,
mans initiated the Greeks. Then the
whole world went on a mad drunk. II
was a saturnalia. Caligula owes his
niche in the hall Of fame to the drunk
en- banquets with which he made even
Rome marvel. The excuses made
fashionable by such potentates as Luz
cullus, Nero. Verres. Tiberius, Caligu-
La, Vitellius and Domitian really began
in the days Of POmpeii. and they mark
the beginning of the end Of the repub-
lic.-Argonaut.

FIRST Aid.

Speaking of the necessity for wide
spread education in first aid TO the
injured. the st. Louis Times says:
Perhaps it will not be taken am!ss
If we call attention to the obvious fact
that nine-tenths of all the trouble In
the world is due to ignorance Of Ger.
tain simple things. Ii might even be
said safely that all mishapS of what
ever fundamental. physical and spirit
ual-are due TO a want of experience
and training. Accidents of a thou.
sand varieties. from drowning TO the
taking of a dose from the wrong bot
tie. are in a majority Of cases fatal
simply because there was not present
some one who knew what to do. In
juries which almost tear the body to
pieces are durable if the man of train
ing n experience Is at hand. The
simplest injuries often prove fatal
when they are not properly attended
TO, when the injured person does not
get the benefit of a little simple help"

ShekeIs and Half Shekels.

The early Biblical references to
pieces of silver do not in the original
convey the idea Of coins, but of
weights, shekels. The Mosaic "obla-
ton to God" was a half shekel. and
the shekel is explained by ~Josephus
as equal to four Athenian drachmae of
the value of about 551a cents in Ameri-
can money. The first Jewish coinage
under authority was. it is believed.
struck by Simon. the Maccabee, about
