FIREMAN IS FREED
OF PROFANE CHARGE
Telling Woman She Has DISPOSE.
tion of Feline Is Not
a Crime.

Just because a woman upbraids a man
Is no excuse for him adjudging her to
have the disposition Of the feline family.
according to. a ruling given by Judge
Mullowny in the District branch of the
Police Court today, when George
Comely, a member Of the District Fire
Department, was arraigned on a charge
of disorderly conduct, which involved
the use of profane language.
Comely testified that Mrs. Lucy
Thompson, of ia Rhode Island avenue
northwest, the complSlning witness in
the case, started the trouble by apply
ing remarks to him which contrasted
greatly with his name.
"Comely, you are an ugly and bumpy-
faced coward" the defendant told the
court Mrs. Thompson called him when
she heard him demonstrate with her
children for being noisy.
Testimony showed that this remark
on the part of Mrs. Thompson caused
the hreman to brand the complainant as
a member of the cat family with all
the "fussy" habits of tommy" and
"tabby." Mrs. Thompson took eXcep-
ton to the remark and had the fireman
arrested. Judge Mullowny did not con-
slider that the feline remark was pro-
fame. He held Comely disorderly and
took the fireman's personal bonds.

RENEWAL Of OLD
OIL FEUD SEEN IN
TEXAS LITIGATION
Indictments Charge Viola
tion Of Sherman
Act.

DALLAS, Texas. Aug. S0.-The> old
feud between the Waters-Pierce and the
Standard OIL companies was seen today
In the indictments returned by the Fed
eral grand jury Of the Texas Northern
district against leadinng oil men on
charges of violating the Sherman act.
The Waters-Pierce interests already had
an action against Standard Oil pending
at st. Louis, investigating the faithful-
ness of the Rockefeller concern In car
ryipg out the Supreme Courts dissolu-
ton decree.
This latter charge was not made in
the local action, but Federal officers
here, who have been investigating the
war of Standard Oil on the Pierce
Fordyce oil association, hinted that
contempt proceedings might be brought
against Standard OIL officials for local
violations of the dissolution decree.
Charges of restraining commerce
among States, Of unlawfully conspiring
and combining to operate monopoly"
as alleged in the indictments, constitute
the violations of the dissolution decree,
according to the Federal agents. Con-
tempt proceedings can not originate
with grand jury. They must be in
stituted directly by a Federal court.

training of the athletes who are pro-
ceeding to Stockholm to represent the
United States in the Olympic games is
being kept up with the utmost vigor,
and SO far as the circumscribed space
on shpboard will permit, the daily work

they would perform II on land.
Both morning and afternoon all the
men except q half dozen who are sea-
sick turn out on deck for hard practice
under the direction of Mike Murphy

in good physical condition, so that when
they reach land a few try-outs on shore
will bring them to the top of their
form.
The swimming tanks on board are
popular among the athletes, to whom
they have proved a great benefit. A
beam stretched across one end creates
a surf effect with the ship rolls, which
Is greatly enjoyed.
