ELECTRIC FANS FOR
HOT COURT ROOM
Officials to Welcome Breezes
in Old Building.

officials Of the Juvenile Court will not
have much longer to suffer from the
summer heat, for electric fans are to be
installed in the court room. They have
dressed coolly and have forgotten the
position Of the mercury in the thermom-
eter while busily engaged in performing
their daily duties. But, nevertheless It
has been hot. and the employees will great
ly welcome the fans.
The court room is a small one. and is
often crowded. The building was de-
signed primarily for a dwelling house,
and comes far from filling the needs of
the court. The court room has been
made out Of two rooms originally designed
to be parlors. Such rooms in a dwelling
house would seldom be occupied by more
than a dozen persons, but at the street
house they are quite frequently filed by
scores of persons.
Judge De Lacy says that by actual
count one day there were 100 persons in
the little room occupied by the court
clerk. Under such crowded conditions, II
is disagreeable in summer, but the new
fans will alleviate matters greatly
But the fans will not reduce the crowds
and the only way to meet the situation
is to erect q new and more commodious
courthouse. The question Of construct
ing such building is now under consid.
Grafton, and in view of the excellent
work accomplished by the tribunal, II
is likely that before long new quarters
will be given the court.

POUNDMASTER OUT
FOR TAGLESS DOGS
Unlicensed CANNES Will Be
Taken in Crusade.

If any one has a canine pet and has
failed to purchase a tag for 1t. that
person had better from this day on
keep the animal we'll secured in the
back yard. for the thirty days grace
granted to owners for buying licenses
has expired, and Poundmaster Kuhn's
vigilant corps of assistants has been
instructed to impound all tagless bow
vows.
The cost of the license is 81, and In
case a dog is captured and taken to the
pound, a payment OF 81 is required for
it's release in addition to 81 for the pur-
chase of a tag. II the animals are not
called for in several days. they are
asphyxiated. The license year began
July l, but a month is always given
in which to procure the tags before the
poundmaster's campaign is started.
Surprise is expressed by District Ii
cense Clerk Rogers that only 4,615 tags
have been issued this year, while 10000
licenses were sold during the last fiscal
year. The last dog census shows that
there were $1,000 CANNES Nin the Capt.
tai.
Because of the unusually few cases
of rabies IN Washington recently, 1t Is
likely that Health. officer Woodward
will not recommend a continuation OF
the dog muzzling order. which expires
August IL.

POLICE SEEK CASHIER
Frank C. Davis Accused of
Giving "Bad" Checks.
DISAPPEARS WITH HIS WIFE
Former Employe OF Center Market
Merchant Said by Police to Have
Obtained Nearly $1,000 by Alleged
Swindles-Diamon and Clothing
Dealers Among Complainants.

Leaving a trail Of worthless checks in
his wake, Frank C. Davis. former CASH
ier for H. c. Coburn, of the Center Mar
ket, for the last ten years regarded as an
exemplary young business man by all
who knew him, is being sought by the
police of Washington and other large
cities Davis disappeared in company
with his young wife. the police say. 1t
is estimated that Davis obtained nearly
81 900 by means Of worthless checks. The
police have already received complaints
Of alleged swindles aggregating more
than 5000.
Until yesterday morning. when local
banks returned the checks given them
by Davis, the business concerns who had
received them in payment for 5ewelry
and valuables did not question the mans 8
honesty. Then when 1t became known
that several of the checks were worth
less and that both Davis and his wife
were missing. the police were notified.
Gave Checks for Gems.
According to the police, Davis entered
the store of IsadorVSaks, in Seventh
street northwest, and. after purchasing
s5S2 worth of diamonds and jewelry, gave
check for slO7 in part payment. Short
! ly after visiting the Saks store. Davis.
the police say. went to the tailoring es-
tablishment Of Schwartz & Pelzman, in
Seventh street, and obtained several
suits which he had previously ordered.
He gave the management two checks,
one for $50 in payment for the clothing
and obtained 500 in cash for the other.
| These checks, too, were returned.
Davis also went to the jewelry store Of
| Isadore Kahn, GIT Seventh street north
west, and obtaind $57 worth of tewelry.
That Davis ordered the clothing a
| week in advance, the police say.
| strengthens the theory that he had plan
ned TO leave the city. Though the police
OF most of the larger cities have been
notified, no clew had been obtained up
| TO last night.

BABYS HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. / bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine. and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. j sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent. two boxes Of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. l think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

mate friend of Sir Thomas More. and
Aid. Bond, after whom it passed into

During his occupancy of 1t Crosby
Hall was the scene of lavish enter

other great luminaries in the life OF
England, dined and danced. made love
