CAR TRIALS
SET BY COURT FOR
HEARING IN AUGUST
Companies Attorney Pro-
tests Early Date, But Court
Overrules Objection.

Efforts to force the street railway
companies of the District to give better
service, to maintain certain required
schedules, to stop running noisy cars,
and otherwise to cease breaking laws
and regulations, will come to a head
August 8, two weeks hence, when the
seventeen cases now pending In the
District branch Of Police Court will be
called for trial before a jury.
The date was set today by Judge
James l.. Pugh over the protest Of At
torney G. d. Hoover, counsel for the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, who asked twenty days delay.
Assistant Corporation Counsel James
F. Smith. who will conduct the cases
during trial, urged that a week from
today be named. Judge Pugh, saying
that while he appreciated the impor-
tance of speedy trial, he would allow
the car companies one more week than
named above.
The pleas of not guilty was entered
provision, however. that they might
change their plea in the meantime. 1t
Ia possible that they will seek a delay
by filing n demurrer before August 8
comes.
Car Company Protests.
During the argument between counsel
which preceded Judge Pugh's ruling, the
court, surprised Mr.. Smith by saying
/ that he was ready to proceed with the
, trial Of the cases this afternoon.
Mr.. Smith replied that the prosecution
had expected the cases merely to be
| called today and that he would rather
| see date next week, preferably Tues
day, chosen.
Mr. Hoover, representing the street
| railways. rose and protested vigorously.
There are numer Of important legal
questions involved in these cases." said
he, and time for their study Is neces-
sary. ! believe we should be allowed
the customary twenty days The inter-
state Commerce Commission has passed
; an order requiring an absolute impos-
sibility-that the companies prevent
passengers riding on the running boards
| II II required that a passenger be SUBJ
tect to arrest for riding on the running
board himself, the situation might ne
| relieved"
Objects to Delay
Assistant Corporation Counsel Smith
replied:
THE street railway companies have
already had notice OF these cases for
some time and have had a chance to get
ready. I do not believe that importan,
cases like these should be allowed to
be delayed"
| THE cases are in no wise out Of the
| ordinary" returned Mr.. Hoover, nc
matter what the clamor in the news
papers has been"
| Ordinarily we do not have jury
trials in August" said Judge Pugh. In
deciding, but / can make a special as.
signment for two weeks from today. the
9Th of August. That will accordingly be
done"
The, defendants brought to bar today
| are the Capital Traction, Washington
Railway and Electric. the CITY and Sub
| urban Railway, the Washington Vir.
ginia Railway and the Anacostia and
| Potomac companies.
The defendants are informed against
for failure to maintain schedules, fol
permitting passengers on the runninp
boards, for falling to stop on signal, fol
not keeping floors Of cars clean and fol
operating noisy cars.

RESUME OPERATIONS
Has Been Closed Down Several Weeks
Undergoing Repairs And
improvements.

The plant of the Firm Lumber Co.
will resume operations Monday, after
having been shutdown for the past
three weeks, for the purpose of re-
building the main building and max
ing other needed improvements.
All the machinery in the main build
ing, including the moulder, sizer,
shaper, ledger" saws, etc, have been
entirely rebuilt. Parts of worn ma
chinery have been taken out and new
ones replaced, the machines painted
and moved to more advantageous posi-
tions. The main building has been
increased to 200x90 feet, and arranged
so that on either side loading tracks
are always under sheds, protecting
workmen and lumber from the rain
and sun. The storage shed alongside
the main building will be extended the
entire length, the local loading ar
rangement remaining as at present in
the recently built shed near the office.
The office will be moved so as to face
evenly on Main street, and the present
site being used with the balance of
the lumber yard. The main building
has been painted, red on the, outside
and white within, giving workmen
much more light than formerly.
The 50-ton ice plant In the rear of
the mill has also been rebuilt, includ-
ing all machinery used in its manu-
facture, and the operators state that
they viii be in better position than
ever before to supply the needs of the
public. The ice plant will commence
operations April list.

T0AST-MAKING A FINE ART
Happy-Go-Lucky Methods viii Not Dc
With This Agreeable Tea Table
DeIicacy.

The secret of having crisp toast is
to cut the bread the night before so
the surface is dry before it is toasted.
Another trick is to have the slices,
when toasted. stood upon edge in
some place where they can be kept
hot until they are served. II the
slices are placed one on top of the
other they become soggy, says the
New York Tribune.
For toast that is to be used as the
foundation for poached eggs, mush-
rooms or any creamed food, half an
Inch is the correct thickness; hot wa
ter Is distributed over it evenly with
a small spoon, and melted butter
spread on with bristle brush, which
| comes for the purpose.
People who dislike the softness pro
| duced by this treatment can, OF
course, preserve the crispness of the
toast by emitting the hot water. Often
when bread is very stale, it may be
steamed little before it is toasted
Housekeepers who do not possess an
| cient silver toast racks have been
heard to say that these only act as
coolers for the slices they hold, and
that they are not desirable at all. On
the other hand, a covered toast dish
holds the heat and steams the slices
to sogginess in a short time. The
surest way to have perfect toast
seems to be to dispense with the an
Client forms and take to ultra-moderr
Inventions, such as the electric toast
er, which stands on the table at mi
lady's elbow, and makes the toas
while you wait"

bank, and that the defendant never
took any money without making the
proper entry in the books. The wit
ness was carried over all the transac-
lions of the bank and stockholders
meetings, and stated the books showed
the defendants notes were executed in
the regular course of business, and
the witness found them there when he
assumed charge as receiver. His &C.
count was handled just lick that of
any other customer. From the cross
examination of this witness it appears
that the defense will endeavor to show
the accused had money to his credit
all the time.

PROPER CARE OF OLD FRIEND
Sewing Machine All Too Frequently
Mlsused by Those Who Give
1t Little Thought.

Don't, every time the machine slips
stitch or breaks the cotton, send it to
be repaired and incur a bill. Instead,
change the needle. Invariably it is in
fault, wrongly set, blunt pointed, or
too fine or too coarse for the cotton.
Don't add more oil when the ma
chine runs stiffy. Instead, turn the
machine back and leave the under
meath parts exposed to the fire for a
little while, then wipe with duster.
Don't oil the machine with paraf1n.
1t spoils the bearings. Instead, before
putting the machine away, oil with
best machine oil, and before using
again wipe carefully with paraffin
rag.
Don't grudge few cents for a book
of instructions and time necessary to
master the same. Both time and
money will be well spent.
These "don'ts" are based on practi.
cal experience.

ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME.


Capt. j. S. McNeilly, of the Vicks-
burg Herald, says the Laurel Argus,
sometimes lays aside his Bourbon
ism long enough to interest
himself in the plebian affairs of his
state, and to speak with directness
that commands attention. The fol-
lowing comment on news item about
the failure to secure a fair represen-
tation for South Mississippi is to the
point
A news item from Jackson, report
ing certain legislative proceedings
that the resolution which it was be-
lieved would give South Mississippi
three new senators, was imperfectly
drawn and not worth shucks. There
was a clerical oversight in drawing
the resolution. Some one had blund-
cred" Yes, some one had Numbered.
The people had Numbered when they
elected this gislature.-Hattiesb
News.
According to The Herald's read
/ ing of the legislative proceedings the
resolution in question was lost be-
cause the senators and representatives
of Southeast Mississippi were indi
ferent to its passage. 1t passed both
houses without opposition, to die at
last from "a palpable error in draft
ing the resolution" Had there beer
any earnest and thorough purpose be
hind the measure such a defect could
not, of course, have gone undetectec
to the last day. And even then wher
the resolution could have been vail
dated by the simplest correction, q
united and determined stand for 1t by
the members from the section interest
ed could have effected, and would have
been justified in, a block of the pro
ceedings until this was done. But
nothing of the sort was tried OF
