A HARD PROPOSITION.

The warm chinook that passed
over this section last week has made
the work of keeping the track clear
thru the mountains a harder propo-
sitiOn than ever. 1t rained for a
couple of days and than it froze
forming a glazed crust on the sur
face of the snow on the mountain
sides, over which the new snow that
falls finds no footing and least wind
watts it off into the hollows. The
snow is piled so high on both sides
of the track that the dOzer, which
has always done effective work, is
useless, and now nothing but TO
tary will do to clear the road.

MOTIONS TO QUAsH.
Thomas H. Pickford and John H.
Walter Attack Indictments.

Thomas H. Pickford and John II. Wal
ter. Jointly indicted with William J. Du-
gan for alleged bribery and attempting to
influence the evidence to be given in
court by witness in the case Of James
Hudson against Pfckford, have filed mo-
tons to quash the indictment pending
against them. The defendants attack the
suff1ciency of the Indictment. They form
ally withdrew the pleas of not guilty
heretofore made by them when arraign-
ed
The defendants claim the indictment
fails to show that the testimony the wit
ness was to give was material to the is
sue involved in the Hudson case. There
is no averment they claim in the indict-
ment that the facts set forth in the aft
davit. which, 1t is alleged, they sought to
have the witness sign, We're untrue. The
indictment only alleges, it is pointed out,
that the witness did not believe them to
be true.
Counsel for the defendants claim they
cannot answer an averment that third
person did not believe something, for
they cannot know the state of mind of
that person. Lastly. they claim the in
dictment is defective because it does not
show that they undertook by force or
threats to influence the testimony OF the
witness or to deter him from becoming a
witness.

Prescott Galley represent Mr.. Pickford

Suggestion Is Offered.

ITO the end that the fullest informa-
ton may be brought home to every tax
payer of proposed legislation. and that
ample opportunity be afforded to approve
or oppose any and every bill offered in
Congress before the same is reported by
either committee to their respective
houses we offer the following suggestion
to your honorable body as the sense of
the federation:
That Congress be asked to authorize
the Commissioners to publish I'm the press
Of the city from time to time the full
text Of every bill introduced in Congress
affecting the District of Columbia.
That each advertisement of the bill
contain a notice fixing certain time for
a hearing on the same by the Commits
siOnerS
That no measure beacted upon by
either committee of Congress until the
Commissioners first report whether in
their opinion. the majority of the tax
payers and residents of the District APP
prove or disapprOve the same
Permit me to suggest that the com
mission form OF government in the Dis

next few years as ii has never been be-

get to the taxpayers and residents, 10
