Philadelphia Hotei Chef Defenuaht
 in a Queer Case.
 Philadelphia, Aug S.-Admitting he was unequal to the task of classify ing the lobster in the realms of living creatures, Police Magistrate Hagger- ty today held John Haudacaur, chef of a local hotel in s100 bail to an swer to a charge or cruelty to ami mals He is accused of placing a wooden peg in the lobster back of the claw to prevent it from snapping Complaint was lodged against Han dacaur by a member of the Pennsyl- yania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who saw the begged lobster on exhibition.
 Two lawyers, an amateur Hsher- man from Maine, a member of the cruelty society and the proprietor of the hotel argued the case, but it was too much for the magistrate. Hau- daeaurs adherents argued that the charge fell because the lobster was not an animal.
 ''It's too much for me" said the judge I'll hold the defendant and let the court deside the matter"

Estimate Is That Nine of Every Ten Votes Cast There Will Be for

Hon Clip Witt returned last even ing from Montgomery county and will remain here until after the primary election next Wednesday. He is elat- ed over the condition of his race in his own county. He states that he could not wish for a better situation without hoping for every vote to be cast. His friends there are confident and enthusiastic and 1t now looks like greater landslide for him over there than he has at any time ex- pected.
 At Womble in the south end of the county, where it was feared opposi ton to him was more likely to occur the situation is gratifying They are loyal to him and will roll up a big Witt plurality.

WANT RECORDS PUBLISHED.
Information Regarding Former Land
Grants Requested by D. A. r.

The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton will present to Congress petit
ton asking that all records on pensions,
land grants and land rights which may be
in existence, for service of all American
soldiers and sailors prior to the Mexican
war, be published by the government.
The members of the d. A. r. have found
IL difficult to procure these records, which
they desire for the correct and proper
proof of service of revolutionary SOL
oilers. These records are found in the
State, War, Navy and Interior depart
ments. Since the d. A. r. was organ
lied it has furnished these departments
with a number of muster rolls of revo-
lutionary soldiers found i'm long unused
trunks.
A committee has been appointed by the
president general, Mrs. Matthew T. Scott,
to place this matter before Congress.
Mrs. John Miller Horton of Buffalo. n.
Y, has been made chairman Of this
committee. and is in Washington, with
headquarters at the New Willard, for
the purpose, and is at work getting data
together to present to Congress.
Mrs. Horton urges that while the pub
location Of those records would be of spe-
cial interest to both men and women who
desire to prove their revolutionary gene
illogical trees, there is a much broader
idea involved While these records are
supposed to be in safe keeping, every time
they are unfolded for inspection the
paper upon which the records are writ
ten is wearing a little more. the ink is
fading and the time Is coming when. like
the Declaration of Independence, they
will have to be put under glass cases,
Theoretically sealed and kept in the dark,
or they will be forever lost to histo-
rians.
Mrs. Horton also suggests there is dan
ger of their utter destruction by fire, as
there seems to be no fireproof receptacle
for the documents.

AGAINST ELEVATOR BILL.
Commissioners Oppose Automatic
Door blocking Devices.

Declaring that rather than place a
premium on carelessness of elevator OPP
orators in requiring the installation of
automatic door-locking devices it is bet
ter that the operators should be edu-
Gated and examined, the District Com
missioners have sent to Congress an un-
favorable report son the bill to regulate
the construction and operation of ele-

The bill makes it misdemeanor. pun

vator to be installed or operated in the
District unless an automatic device, to
prevent the elevator car from being
moved in either direction while any gate
or door on any platform is opened Or
uncloSed, is first installed.
In their report the Commissioners,
after discussing the advantages and dis
advantages which they believe would
result from the passage of the bill. state
that in their opinion the elevators in
the District are in good condition and
there is no public necessity for the pas

crs say that the work of the board of
elevator examiners has been so thorough
that operators of elevators are now of
such intelligence and under such control
as to add materially to the safety Of

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
EVANSVILLE, Md, February IL, 1912.
At a meeting Of Eureka Grange, held
at Chillum, Prince Georges county,
Saturday, the proposition to bond the
county for 100000 to build permanent
roadways was Endorsed. State Senator
Charles A. Wells is preparing the act
and probably will introduce it in the
senate Of Maryland next week.
The country residence of Dr. A. C..
Deans, in West Hyattsville, was de-
stroyed by fire shortly after midnight
Saturday. The fire originated from an
overheated kitchen stove. Dr. Deans
was asleep in the house, having come
from Washington to remain over Sun
day. He was awakened by the smoke
and did not have time fully to dress.
Not a single article of furniture was
saved. The volunteer fire department
from Hyattsville. Brentwood and Mount
Rainier and the chemical company
from Langdon, u. c., responded, but
could do nothing but save surrounding
property owing to lack of water. The
house was OF brick, and the damage
aggregated $4,000. partially covered by
insurance.
The bill allowing the mayor and COM
mon council of this place to borrow
$1,000 for the erection and equipment
Of municipal building here, which
has passed the Maryland senate, will
be amended, it is reported, in the house
SO as to provide for a referendum vote.
Senator Wells is said to have agreed to
the amendment, and the bill will be
vigorously pushed.
