NINTH STREET
CARS WILL RUN To
SOLDIERS HOME
New Schedule Arranged for
BrightWood Line.
TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS

The residents of Petworth and OF the
section along Georgia avenue north OF
Florida avenue will be pleased to learn
this morning that decided Improvement
Is to be made in their car service. Be-
ginning tomorrow, all the Ninth street
junction.
This information reached the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday, and Is
the result OF the efforts of the District
electric railway commission to relieve the
trafic conditions on the Brightwood line.
After an investigation, the subordinate
commission recommended q new schedule
to the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which was adopted. The railroad COM
pany placed additional cars in service,
but asserted that II could not fully COM
ply with the order on account OF lack
of cars. This led to the consideration OF
the plan which will go into effect to-
morrow.
All north-bound cars will be operated
as far as Soldiers Home junction, and
all south-bound cars will go to the
wharves, with the exception that the ad-
ditional ''trippers," which will be placed
in service during the rush hours, will
be operated only as far as Ninth street
and Louisiana avenue. 1t is believed that
this change will materially improve con-
ditions on the Brightwood line, but ii is
the purpose OF the commission to closely
observe the effect of the operation OF the
new schedule with the view to requiring
additional facilities II they should be
needed.

CORNWALL FOUND
GUILTY Of SECOND
DECREE MURDER
Slayer of Brother = in law
Faces Life Sentence.
INSANITY PLEA FAILS

Arthur Cornwall, a printer, twenty
one years old, who on June u last shot
and killed his brother-in-law, James
Elmore Courtney, was yesterday after
noon found guilty of second degree
murder by a jury in Justice Ander-
sons court, after celebrating over
three hours and returning a verdict
shortly after S o'clock.
NO SIGNS OF EMOTION.
Cornwall, who was represented by At
torneys Matthew O'Brien and James F.
Kelly, showed no signs OF emotion when
the verdict was returned. The defense
endeavored TO prove that Cornwall was
intoxicated when he shot Courtney, and
that the prisoner was insane. CornwaIrs s
sisters, Misses Ellen and Alice Cornwall,
testified in his behalf. and Mrs. Court
ney, whose husband Cornwall had killed,
was also a witness at the trial. She is
also a sister of Cornwall
Angered at his brother-in-law for up
oraiding him for slamming a door when
he came into the house, Cornwall, on the
afternoon of June II last, went to a
sporting goods store in D street. bought
revolver ana box OF cartridges, and,
returning to his home, 2026 Eighth street
northwest. shot his sisters husband,
James Elmore Courtney, three times in
the back. Courtney died in Freedmen's
Hospital at 12:40 o'clock the following
morning.
Feared for Picture.
According to Mrs. Courtney, the slam
ming of the front door by Cornwall had
long been a cause for quarrelIng, be-
cause Courtney feared a picture of his
father, which hung in the hallway, would
be broken.
Imprisonment for life is the penalty
for second degree murder, and unless a
motion for a new trial is made and
granted sentence will be imposed on
Cornwall next Friday morning

COMMITTEE SPLIT
ON STEEL PROBE
Littleton Wants 1t Stopped.
Stanley Takes Issue.

New York, Nov. 2L-Martin w. Little
ton, a member of the investigating COM
mittee of which Representative Stanley
is chairman, yesterday reiterated his in
sistence that Congress had no right to
continue its probe of the steel trust while
the Department of Justice is engaged in
the prosecution of the corpration.
Il have no concern over the steel trust
or any other corporation" said Repre-
sentative Littleton. Il wanted the fullest
investigation to ascertain whether it had
violated the Sherman antitrust law. AS
counsel to the investigating committee,
asked pointed questions to bring out
any possible evidence along that line,
and I think I was rather successful.
But 1t is not right for the Stanley
committee or any other committee to
continue an investigation while the De-
partment of Justice is engaged in a
prosecution. The government and Con-
gress are proceeding along exactly the
same lines, and the committees work is
superhuous."
Representative Stanley, of Kentucky,
chairman of the investigating committee,
with Representatives Bean and McGilli-
cuddy, united last night in denial that
there had been any break between the
first named and Representative Little
ton. 1t was explained that there was
wide difference of opinion between
the men, but their relations were, never
theless, cordial in the extreme.
TT is probably true" said Representa-
tive Stanley, that there is a radical
difference between Mr.. Littleton and
myself touching the suficiency OF the
Sherman law. Nevertheless, the dis
tinguished gentleman from New York
has the same right to his opinion as the
chairman OF the committee, and I am
quite sure no difference Of opinion will
affect our relations"
