CASE CONTINUED.
Woman Who Was Brought to Sta
ton House in Dog Wagon
Tells Story.

The case of Harriet o. Pettitt
who was arrested by Officer Garyey
Tuesday afternoon on the charge OF
interfering with him in the discharge
of his duty, was called in the Police
Court this morning. The complain.
ant stated that he was engaged In
capturing stray dogs OH north Al.
fred street and the colored boy who
was aiding him in the work was
endeavoring to place an unlicensed
canine into the wagon when the an
imal resisted SO viciously that the
boy dashed it to the pavement.
At this iuncture Mrs. Pettitt APP
peared on the scene and became bit
ter in her language towards the boy;
and when the officer warned her
of the consequences of interfering
with the city's agents while in the
discharge Of their duty, she became
very abusive toward him, using lang
uage which the officer ayerred was
of the vilest nature. He was fin
ally compelled to take the woman
in charge.
He said he did not place her. in
the wagon with the dogs as
might have been inferred, but on the
seat alongside Of him, and while
she was so seated he drove to the
sation house. Officer Garvey said
the arrest was not made until after
Mrs. Petit had been sufficiently
warned of the consequences of her
conduct. The officer further stated
that dog did not belong to Mrs.
Petit and that it was unlicensed.
Mrs. Petit subsequently took the
stand. She wept continuously while
making her statement and alleged
that the officer cursed her and tore
her clothes while using undue force
towards her. She denied that she
used improper language. She stated
that the dog had come to her prem
Uses and she had determined to pay
taxes on it, and that when it was
being cruelty treated by the colored
boy, she went to the rescue and told
him she would pay the taxes on the
animal.
Olfceri Carney again stepped for
ward and asked that the case be con-
tinued until tomorrow morning,
when he said he would have witness
es to corrobate his charge that Mrs.
Pettit's language was unfit for repe-
tition.
The case was continued.

NEGRO NOT IDENTIFIED.
Man Arrested in South Carolina said
not to be Henry Tucker.

The identity Of the negro who muir
dered Joseph Davis, colored, on the
enviroDs of this city in Alexandria
county, in August, 1910. has not, it
is said, as yet been established. Sew
ersl weeks ago the chief of police Of
Abbeyille, S. c., telegraphed to this
city that be had arrested Henry Tucker,
who is charged with the murder. The
sheriff Of Alexandria county, accom-
panied by policeman from this city,
proceeded to Abbeville and conducted
the negro to the county Jail, where he
has since been confined. Lille Stew
art, colored, in whose house the muir
der was committed, recently went to
the county Jail and upon seeing the
prisoner declared he is not the man
who killed Davis. Ed. Clark, who
also saw the prisoner says be is not the
murderer. 1t is said, however, that
several white persons who are init
mately acquainted with Tucker and
with whom he had business while in
this neighborhood, will be taken to the
county jail in order to see if they can
identify him.

The Absolute Zero.

What is the absolute zero OF temper
AZURE? The zero Of thermometers Is
purely conventional. The inventor OF
the centigrade simply took for zero
the coolest temperature known In his
day, while Fahrenheit had even less
ground for his selection. Absolute
zero is point fixed by nature and
may be arrived at in a variety OF
ways. All gases expand or contract
equal amounts for every degree OF
heat. The amount of 1918 of their
volume for each degree centigrade.
If, then, a gas is cooled down contin-
uously It must reach point at which
further contraction is impossible. II
a gas loses 1878 Of its volume at each
downward degree Of centigrade then
in 273 degrees it would exhaust this
power and become a solid; hence
(minus) 273 c. is the absolute zero OF
temperature. This answers to 481 B.

Belief In Ghosts.

In most Of the Oriental countries,
notably In China and in many quar-
tiers in Europe, the belief in ghosts Is
still active, quite as much so as 1t was
q thousand years ago. The peasantry
of Russia, and especially Of Siberia,
are in constant dread Of ghosts, and
much of their time is taken up with
devising ways and means Of safeguard
ing themselves against their vista
lions. Not even In the United States
Of America is the ancient superstition
defunct. The negroes are notorious be-
levers in ghosts, and thousands OF
white people, remote from the center
Of intelligence, are still the victims OF
the cid idea.-New York American

''PEPcO" WINS ANOTHER.
Batting Rally in Eighth Inning Gives
Washington Team Hard
Fought Game.

batting rally in the eighth inn
ing gave "Pepco" its second victory
over the local team. Prior to that
time the game was close and inter-
esting Notwithstanding the fact that
errors were responsible for the runs
scored off Pitts in the third & sixth.
Snowden was a generous contributor
to the error column and at least
three runs resulted from his miscues
on ground balls.
Pitts pitched we'll for seven in
ings, but luck broke poorly for him,
especially in the last inning. Meyers
the first batter in that round, singh
ed over second and Sullivan was
passed. On Gill's grounder Pitts
hesitated and then threw late, fill
ing the bags. A scratch and two
clean hits followed. The result was
six runs.
A single and a double in the first
netted Pepco an earned run in the
first. Two singles and an error gave
them two more in the third. The
fourth run came in the sixth on
two errors and single.
Alexandria tied the score in the
fourth when Snowden singled and
Burrell was hit in the ribs. Patter-
son scored Snowden with a single to
right and went to second on the
throw in. Pitts singled over second
and Burrell and Patterson scored.
Pitts scored in the seventh on a
pass, a sacrifice and Scrivener's
single. Burrell's hit, a steal and
an out at first gave the home team
its final run.
'Pepco" showed splendid form in
the field. Oliveri, in center, Meyers,

ing hard chances with ease and grace

An Object Lesson of Reform.

AS result of the social purity re-
form promoted by the committee Of
fourteen in New York City it is an
nounced that the so-called "Raines
law hotels" have been all but extin-
guished. In 1906, when the commit
tee began it's work, 1900 of these no.
tells we're in existence in that city,
whereas now there are but eighty
seven.
Commenting on the excellent work
thus accomplished, the New York In
dependent states that 1t was aided by
the brewers, who, under agreement in
their association, refused to sell beer
to these places. 1T will be remem-
bered that of late the brewers have
been much concerned over the success
of the local option movements" says
the Independent, and have discovered
that the best way to retain their trade
is to suppress disorderly houses The
bond companies have also been
brought to assist by refusing to bond
saloons of ill-repute"
This achievement in New York City
should attract the attention OF those
engaged in the liquor trahac else
where, for It resolves itself down to a
simple business proposition with them.
They can help their cause great deal
by trying to raise the standard of the
business. In many instances where
restrictive laws and regulations have
been applied and the liquor interests
have chafed under them it has been
due partly. II not entirely, to their
own indisposition to draw the line
| themselves.
