FESTIVE STRAW HAT
NOW DOWN AND OUT
Death Knell Has Sounded and It's
All Of with the Summer
Turban.

Ding, Dong, Bell!
.. "Of with the hatr'
Not more uneasy than the head that
wears the crown will be that of the
venturesome man who wears the straw
hat to-day. The mythical bell will sound
which the dictates Of custom or fashion
have decreed, and the straw hat must
go. All well-dressed and self-respecting
persons OF the male sex take notice. and
act accordingly; otherwise the treasured
headpiece may be stricken from the
head by a flying missile or II may be-
come the target for the fell swoop of
cane welded by expert hands. or it
may be seized and torn in shreds by the
comrade with a propensity toward the
practical Joke.
Nobody knows whence the senseless
custom came which DEGREES the vanish
ing OF the straw hat upon a certain
date. even IL the middle day Of Septem-
Der is hot as the center pin OF July
and August
There is, however. one consolation left
to the man who would defy custom and
stick to his straw hat longer. Assault
upon the hat by an easy trick of the
law may be construed into assault upon
the person.
A warrant would be available, and the
courts would listen. No less an authority
than the chief assistant to the prose-
cutting attorney OF the District is on rec
ord as saying he will consider any COM
plaint which may come to him OF as
sault upon the hat This orrclal recently
waxed indignant when asked whether a
man might not wear a -honored
straw hat after September I6.
Il should say yes." replied Mr. Given
Amy man who destroys another's straw
hat will find a stif fine or a long term
in the workhouse. There is no reason
or sense in this annual custom Of break
ing up straw hats and the district at
torney's office would be only too glad
to administer a little righteous punish
ment in the interests Of law abiding
citizens who yield to the sense OF COM
fort and weather conditions rather than
the commands of fashion"

SPEED PIENDS
FREE OF TROUBLE
Constable Garrison, Of Hyattsville,
Out Of Town and Drivers
Burn the Pike.

Speedy autoists on the Baltimore pike
breezed through the peaceful town Of
Hyattsville at undiminished speed yester-
day. leaving a smell Of burning gas to
taunt the nostrils and subdue the spirits
have been making things hard for the
motorists who wanted TO work out their
engines.
And the reason for 1t all was because
that iron-hearted Town Constable Thomas
H. Garrison. who has made life miser-
able for speeders recently. was absent
Constable Garrison was taking in the
gazing up at the big buildings" in New
York.
II was not Of the constable's choice
that he was removed from the scene OF
his anti-speeding activities. Duty called
him, and like the true officer Of the law
he followed her call.
In this case Constable Garrison was In
the Big Town TO return thereto two
young men who left their homes without
notice to see the world. especially the
Indians across the Hudson River.
The two boys. Jean Elmer Salisbury.
son of a prominent artist. residing at
q Manhattan Street, New York, who
painted portrait OF President Taft five
years ago. and Frank J. Davis. fourteen
years old. OF q Manhattan Street. son
Of Thomas J. Davis. secretary Of the
New York American League baseball
club, were found walking along the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad tracks near
Hyattsville.
They told Garrison they had run away
from home in search of adventure. and
upon notifying their parents he was re-
quested to bring them back again.
So the constable saw Broadway. and
the motorists motored on.

KNOW NOTHING OF PURCHASE.
Capital Railroad Men Unaware of
saIe of Chesapeake Beach Line.

Several persons connected with the act
i've management of the Chesapeake
Beach Railway were asked yesterday
to affirm or deny the rumor from Balti-
more that the property had been sold to
the Washington. Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railroad Company. The Wash
ington railroad men declare that they
are unable to confirm the rumor and
strongly deny its probability.
The views Of the Washington men were
fairly expressed by S. L. Heacock, gen.
eral manager Of the road. when he said
he was not in position to affirm the
story, because he knew nothing about
its truth or falsity. He said the Balti-
more capitalists had an interest in the
property and that ii was wholly within
the bounds Of possibility that some such
deal as that reported had been con-
summated.
You never can TELL" he said. what
the ffnanciers will do when they get
together and talk things over I know
nothing of Mr.. Cuttings, beyond the fact
that he is financier of note and that he
is capable of pulling on the deal by
which the two properties could be
merged. At the same time we here in
Washington have enjoyed to a consider
able degree the confidence of the owners
Of our property. and all our information
is to the effect that the property is not
and has not been on the market"

was tried TIE suit was brought on a
long -standing account and among other
items was Is years subscription to the

fused to take the paper from the post
Office and mail box a number of times.
The plaintiff proved by postmasters,
deputy postmasters and others, that
Mr.. Traub did take the paper during

shown that according to law, even if a
subscriber has ordered a newspaper
discontinued or refused 70 accept i, he
cannot get out Of paying what he owes
for the paper, and the subscriber must
pay the arrearage before stopping the
paper.
