CAN Of 'LASSES BURST

District Disbursing Officers
New Spring Suit Becomes
a Sight to Be Seen.

Louis Wilson, disbursing officer Of the
District of Columbia, has sworn Off on
molasses. A can Of it exploded Sunday
night, cutting his nose. bruising his face
and putting a brand-new spring suit in
at the cleaners
When Mr.. Wilson arrived at the Dis
trict building yesterday morning with a
lump and a cut on his face he spent con-
siderable time answering the queries of
the curious. He had to tell the story Of
the volcanic molasses over and over
again. The impression around the Dis
trict building is that Mr.. Wilson got
hold of can Of Hiram Maxim's newest
explosive, which is said to be able to
pierce the thickest armor without diff
Guilty.
A Plain, Unvarnished Tale.
Mr.. Wilson's story is this:
IT don't want to make use of the time
honored excuse that I walked into a door
In the dark, or to tell you to go look at
the other fellow. I simply tried to take
a fall out Of a can of molasses and it
threw me first.
II never was much on opening things
with a can opener, anyhow. Hereafter
I'm going to take my molasses to the
bureau Of explosives. Last night Mrs.
Wilson led met to a perfectly new can Of
molasses. She pointed at the can. Then
she pointed at the can opener. I grasped
the can in my left hand, seized the can
opener with my right hand and jabbed at
the top of the tin. AS the point cut into
the tin there was a terrific explosion.
Thought He Was Shot At.
Honestly, thought for a minute that
some one had shot at me through the
kitchen window. The can was all curled
back like a tin flower. Molasses was all
over my clothes and my face streamed
with it. Mrs. Wilson took the molasses
for gore and ran for bandages My nose
was cut I was sight"
One Of those listening to this recital
was Waldo Hibbs, secretary to Commits
sioner Rudolph.
Louis he said, chats a great story.
Any one who can think up such an excuse
as that is a perfect wonder.
MT Wilson. however. promises to bring
the can down to prove his statement.

Charge Of Judge Peter.
In his charge to the grand jury Judge
Peter dwelt principally on the duties of
the jury, and called attention to that
portion Of the oath obligating the jurors
to keep secret all that transpires in the
jury room. Immediately after Judge
Peters charge the grand jury organized
by the election of Allan Faruuhar secre-
tary and began examination of witnesses.
1t IS believed the session Of the grand
jury will be -briefer than usual.
Among the most important cases to
be given consideration by the grand jury
are the Allnutt murder and the assault
on Richard C. L. Moncure. the Virginia
attorney. in front of the courthouse here
the latter part of January.
Several weeks ago the law firm of
Wampler. Moncure & Cloth. Of which
Moncure is a member, filed in the circuit
court here petition asking that Ben
jamin p. Whalen, formerly chief deputy
sheriff OF this county; his brother, Joseph
Whalcn, and Joshua T. Ofutt, a we'll
known farmer of Potomac district, who
are charged with the assault upon Mon
cure, be adjudged in contempt of court.
The petition set forth that as Moncure
was engaged in the trial of a case he
was an officer of the court, and that the
attack upon him as he was leaving the
courthouse constituted contempt.
