WILL PERMIT CARTRIDGE SALE
Change Is Made in the Police Regu-
lationS,

The Commissioners, on recommendation
of Fire Marshal T. W. Nicholson, have
amended the police regulations to per-
nit the sale and storage of cartridges
and shells in large quantities.
At present the regulation prohibits the
issuance of permits for such sales in
buildings where cigars, cigarettes, paints
oils and fireworks are kept for sale. In
the opinion of the fire marshal the regula-
zion was intended to apply only to high
explosives such as dynamite.
Under the amended regulation the fire
marshal in no case will issue permit
for the wholesale storage and sale OF a
greater number than 100000 loaded
paper shells or 100000 metallic shells
or for the storage and retail sale of
more than 5000 loaded shells and G,OOO
metallic cartridges in buildings where
infiammables of the kind enumerated
are kept.

INSPECT ELECTRIC METERS.
Corporation Counsel Holds I
Proper Government Function.

Inspection of electric meters used in the
District may be brought under the juris-
diction of the District sealer of weights
and measures. Commissioned Johnston
has approved d recommendation by Cor
poration Counsel Thomas directing that
the Potomac Electric Light and Power
Company be asked to show any reason
it may have why the Commissioners
should not direct the sealer of weights
and measures to take jurisdiction in the
matter.
In an opinion submitted to the District
heads Mr. Thomas held that gas meters
cannot be regarded as included in the
provisions of the act of Congress of
March 81, 1906 relative to the appoint
weights and measures, for the reason
that the inspection Of such meters is pro-
vided for in the act of March .. 1898.
expressly providing for the inspection and
test of gas meters
A different situation exists with
reference to electric meters, Mr.. Thomas
held. Section of the act of March .,
1895, he points out, requires that the
sealer of weights and measures try and
prove measures of every kind used in
the District of Columbia for the pur-
pose of buying and selling.
AN electric meter would seem to fall
within this provision" states the opinion,
las it is an instrument used to measure
the qua unity of electric current furnished

tered by the meter being the basis upon

sCHOOLBOYS IN DUEL.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

BERLIN, January IL. 1912.
Once again the morbid reading INDUCED
in by German schoolboys and youths and
the peculiar ideas of honor and the due
held in this country have resulted in a
"schoolboy duel" in which one of the
combatants received injuries which will
probably cost him his life
A boy of seventeen years was found a
few days since in a small wood neal
Detmold, in an unconscious condition
with a bullet wound in the right breast
He was taken to the local hospital, where
his chances of recovery are regarded as
small
1t seems that the lad, a scholar in the
Detmold higher grade school. quarreled
with a schoolmate of his own age over
girl, even younger than themselves,
and for whose favors both were aspirants.
Driven to extremes of jealousy by the
knowledge that each was sharing the
girls affections with the other. the two
youthful Romeos mutually decided on
an affair" in which one should seek
the only possible escape from his passion
undisputed possession of the field.
This program was duly carried out.
The boys, by some means, obtained pos
session of firearms and repaired to the
wood, without seconds or other witnesses.
At the first exchange of shots one of
the combatants fell wounded, while the
victor callously walked off without even
troubling to send help to his fallen Op-
ponent.

DICKENS CHARACTERS
Caricatured in Double.Page Drawing
in SUNDAY Magazine.

Our readers must not think that be-
cause the printing of stories in our prize
story competition was finished in the last
issue the quality of our Sunday Magazine
would Immediately go into decline be-
cause the supply of tales of high quality
was exhausted. and we might think we
could get along on past performances for
while for nothing could be further
from the truth. This is shown in strik-
ing fashion in our next issue. which Is
one of the best magazines we ever pub
lished.
Indeed, we can truthfully say that the
double-page pen-and-ink drawing by Jo-
Seph Clement Coll Is one OF the hnest
specimens of this branch of art ever
printed. 1t contains half hundred car
features of the leading characters In
Charles Dickens works, done with such
faithfuiness and expression that the
Dickens scholar can have no end of de-
light and success in picking them out.
Lovers of Dickens who have seen the
picture are enthusiastic and unanimous
in the opinion that the original or this
will occupy high place in some future
art collection and that prints Will always
be in demand. Mr.. Coll. whose WorI
is well known among our Sunday Maya
zine readers has great fondness for Dick
ems, as this drawing will show, and those
who know him say that he is among the
best authorities on the great English

MOVEMENT IN HOUSE
OPPOSING THIRD TERM
SIayden'S Resolution Like One
Adopted in President
Grants Time.

The movement for a third term for
Theodore Roosevelt may receive the Off
cial disapproval of the House of Rep
resentatives, just as the talk of third
term for President Grant was frowned
upon by the House of Representatives
in 1874.
Representative Slayden of Texas has
introduced a resolution declaring that
any departure from the time-honored
custom of only two terms for a President
would be unwise, unpatriotic and
fraught with peril to our free institu-
TONS
The text of the Slayden resolution.
which has been submitted to the Commit
tee on election of President. Vice
President and representatives in Con-
gress, is as follows:
Resolved. That in the opinion OF this
House the precedent established by
Washington and other Presidents of the
United States in retiring from the presi-
Dental office after their second term has
become. by universal concurrence, part
of our republican system of government,
and that any departure from this time
honored custom would be unwise, unpa-
triotic and fraught with peril to our free
institutions"
A resolution very similar to this, intro
duced by Representative Springer of Illi-
