SUPPORT Of COURT
Justice Barnard Holds
Bruen Institution Is Not
Subject to District Rules.

Permission to maintain the Bruen
Home, at 1876 NJ street northwest, for
destitute mothers and children, without
interference by the District authorities
or citizens near the institution, Is the
effect of a decision today by Justice
Barnard in Circuit Court No. L
That the institution is not an "asy-
Ium or hospital subject to District reg
ulations requiring consent of two-thirds
Of property owners near the home to its
location, and that 1t can operate with
out a license. is the ruling of Justice
Barnard.
Police Court proceedings against the
Home, on a charge of operating with
out a license, must be dropped. as a
result of Justice Barnard's decision. He
says the institution may remain in NJ
street, despite the protests OF obtecung
citizens
The Bruen Home sought a writ OF
mandamus against the Commissioners
to compel issuance of a license for the
institution. Justice Barnard denies the
writ of mandamus and dismisses the
petition Of the Home, but for the reason
that he decides no license Is necessary
The Home formerly was located al
1900 D street northwest, IN Georgetown
and recently bought the premises at 43f
NJ street northwest. Property owners
refused to consent to the establishment
of the Institution in their neighborhood
and the Police Court action followed.

Remarkable Absence
Of Disease in Camp
Of Troops on Border

Col. H. P. Birmingham Of the Medi-
matters in the maneuver division in
Texas, returned to Washington today
with a splendid report on the health
of the thousands of soldiers.
There has been a remarkable alb
sence of disease" Colonel Birmingham
said this morning. There were but
three cases of typhoid, and the inocu-
lation of the soldiers was proven to be
a preventative of the disease: for OF
the three cases there was record to
show that they had not undergone the
complete treatment. OF course, GER
tain contagious diseases, like mumps
and measles, appeared. But altogether
demonstrated what a wonderful prog
ress has been made in hygiene as re-
CARDS the army, and gave to all OF US
a very valuable experience"
officials at the War Department re-
ma rked particularly on the success tha'
officers of the Medical Corps had at
tained in the prevention Of typhoid fe'
yer. \ contrast was made between the
record of Inc troops in Texas and tina,
Jacksonville, Fla, in 1895, during the
Spanish war. Thousands Of cases ol
typhoid appeared at Jacksonville.

Lodge Denies Report
AS to Vote on Treaties

Reports that Senator Lodge, in his
opposition to the arbitration treaties
was in part representing Roosevelt's
views were promptly disposed of today
by the Senator from Massachusetts,
Lodge said that one Of the Ditterest acts
of his Senatorial career was the vote
he casio against an arbitration treaty
submitted to the Senate by Roosevelt
in 1905. The treaty proposed that the
President shOald have authority to de-
eide as to questions to be arbitrated
Despite his almost lifelong friendship
with Roosevelt the Massachusetts Sena-
tor couldn't bring himself to vote for
the treaty.
The present treaties are equally OBJ
1ectionable to Lodge be,-ause they place
in the hands Of joint commission pow
er to decide as to questions to be arbi-
trated He believes that independent
authority should be retained by the

TEXAS MANEUVERS
AGOOD INVESTMENT,
GEN. CARTER SAYS
Experience to Soldiers ir
New Equipment More
Than Repays Cost.

In satisfactory tests of the field WIRE
less; in the demonstration Of the prac-
ticability of mobilizing an invading
force on a days notice; in the tryout
of the new field ordinance, and in the
vindication of the substitution OF auto
mobiles for the heavy army wagon,
Mai Gen. William H. Carter belives the
Texas manuevers demonstrated great
Improvement in the national defense.
General Carer commanded the field
division during the Mexican war scare.
He has returned to his old position of
Assistant Chief of Stan, and he has
given out a statement on the recent mo
bilization.
The general thinks the work of the
army in Texas has been worth several
Times the cost to the people, and he is
satisfied that the future work of the
soldiers will show the value Of the in
vestment
Among other things General Carter
regards the achievements with the new
means of field communication as worth
the cost OF the mobilization, alone For
the first time field wireless was used.
making 1t possible to KEEP constantly
in touch with the cavalry.
The sanitary arrangements were more
effective at the Texas camp than thcy
ever had been in the history of the
army. According to General Carter
there was practically no typhoid that
bane of all mobile armies Oil was used
in great quantities TO incfnerate all
camp refuse This product was cheap
in Texas, and the army had all of 1t
that could be used.
Another important feature of the
maneuvers was the effect of the new
organization work. Practically none Of
the officers or men in the Texas camp
ever had before been a part of a divis-
ion organization. But few of them had
seen 20,0C0 men in one camp, and under
one command.
For the first time the new field ar
tillery was used also. Another inno-
Tation was the use of automobiles as a
substitute for the heavy mule wagons.
1t was found that many Of the heavier
wagons could be dispensed with, also
that many of the slow ambulances could
be replaced with swift automobiles.

ENGLAND At DOOR
Of NEW POLITICAL
ERA, SAY RADICALS
Declare Passage of Veto
Bill by Lords Shat
ters Caste.

LONDON, Aug. 11.-With the passage
of the veto bill in the house of lords
England stands at the door of new
political era in which democracy is free,
where the arrogant selfishness OF caste
Is shattered and the feudal sword
broken.
This is the opinion expressed by rad
ical leaders:
As government by the people Is u
reality in England today, congratulatory
kilograms are pouring in on Premier
Asuutth and his able lieutenants from
every section Of the empire. -,
The house Of commons, madI up os

and are temporarily putting W, with a
condition they expect speedily 70
change. They predict that the veto
measure finally will be repudiated oy
the electorate. -
The vote of the lords was declared In
reality a vote to protect British aris-
tocracy Of its power. The lords, rather
than open their exclusive circles 70
commoners, gave into the hands OF tht
people the arbitrary powers which they
exercised for hundreds OF years. =,
Home rule for Ireland-the Emerald

passage OF the veto bill, say prominent
leaders of the movement. There wal
unbounded enthusiasm among the sons
of Erin today over the history makine

now shorn of their power. there re-
mains no obstacle to the complete
