panies of the District for violation OF
the regulations promulgated by the In

After succeeding in having the 'two
important issues passed over yesterday
the traction people were successful In
getting verdicts Of mot guilty" in two

Experts" on these technical matters
appeared in plentiful numbers and by
their testimony to the effect that the
company had complied with the inter-
state commerce regulations outweighed
the testimony of Secretary H. c. Eddy,
the only witness for the prosecution.
AS Eddy is practically the material
witness in the prosecution against the
company his testimony as Government
officer being evidently considered SUI
ficient in the cases already tried. the
outlook for success on the part or the
not seem very bright unless more EVIL
dence than the inspectors testimony
can be adduced to combat the defense.

on the running boards or street cars
in the city will be considered invalid
by the District Court of Appeals, ia

Mr. Hoover. in his arguments before
the court yesterday, declared that un.

forced. He says that under the present
code of regulations the companies would
be continually the object of crimina
