CABOT GRANGE FAIR.
Great Display and Large Crowd En-
joyed 1t.

People from all over Cabot and adj
joining towns gathered in Cabot October
q to attend the grange fair, which was
a decided success. 1t showed the in
terest of the people in progressive
work, as well as the arduous labor on
their farms, in their gardens, and the
housewives untiring energy by the lib
eral display of useful as well as fancy
work. They were generous in loaning
ancient and antique articles, all of
which helped to make the day one of
pleasure as well as profit. A sumptuous
dinner was served in their banquet hall,
which refreshed and satisfied the hungry
appetites of the big crowd. 1t is hoped
this fair will stimulate and arouse the
interest of the townspeople to double
their diligence another year and have
what may be termed "the Cabot worlds
fair"
The proceeds of the day amounted to
over 500 net. There were hundreds
of articles which were worthy OF men

Operations of Company.

The company points out that the opera
tons of the. Georgetown company are
confined west Of Rock creek, and claims
that neither company has ever attempted
to operate in the territory Of the other.
They have not been. are not and can
never become competing companies or
rivals in business, the court is told not
withstanding' that the Washington COM
pany is able to manufacture, distribute
and sell gas. at materially lower rate
than the Georgetown company. --..--
The refusal of the Georgetown directors
last June to acknowledge the ownership
of the stock by the Washington company
and declining to pay dividends on the
$500 shares is referred to in the an
swer. The point is made that although
the Georgetown directors mooted the
question Of the legality of these holdings.
the Georgetown company later solicited
the Washington company to attend a
stockholders meeting, called for the pur-
pose Of authorizing bond issue, for the
purpose Of constituting 4 quorum at that
meeting.
The company explains it's delay in TAX
ing action to enforce it's rights under the
stock by saying that an amicable ad-
Justment was looked for and the directors
had not been requested by any other
stakeholder to take action.
legal objection to granting the relief
asked by Mr.. Hume is made by the COM
pany in the failure of Mr.. Hume to join
the Georgetown Gas Light Company as a
party to the proceeding. The point is
made that the relief sought would be
nugatory or impossible. especially in view
OF the fact. as claimed, that the George
town Company would not be subject to
any orders or DEGREES passed in a cause
In which 1t was not party.

CIVIL RIGHTS ACT REVIVAL
ASKED IN WOMAN'S SUIT
Mary F. Butts Charges Discrimina-
ton on Steamship Because
of Color.

That the Supreme Court of the United
States shall revive and declare valid an
act that has generally been regarded as
constitutionally dead for more than a
generation is the novel proposition that
was presented to the court yesterday.
The act in question is the old civil rights
more ago, and which it is now sought to
have applied to the seas, navigable wa
tiers, territories of the United States and
the District of Columbia.
-Albin II. Richards. attorney, represent
ing Mary F. Butts, cOlOred woman of
Boston. raised the point in a case in
which Mrs. Butts sued the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company because
of alleged discrimination. In her original
suit Mrs. Butts claimed she bought a
first-class ticket for trip from Boston
to Norfolk. Va. On account of her color,
she averred, Mrs. Butts was discrimi-
mated against, was not permitted to eat
at the first table with the other first
class passengers on the boat, but was
forced to eat at the second table and
to use linen that had been soiled by the
diners who had already eaten.
Attorney Richards argued that, al
though the civil rights act has been de-
clared imperative as to the states. the
measure was similar to the first federal
employees liability act. which also was
declared imperative as to the states. but
valid as to the territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia. a. Nathan Williams,
representing the steamship line. argued
that, even if revived. the act applied only
TO 1.-The territory of the United States"
and not to the seas.

Arguments as to the Advisa bility
of Appointing Receiver for
Shares Involved.

Declaring that the legal proceedings for
a distribution among the stockholders of
the Washington Gas Light Company of
$3.50 shares of the stock of the George
town Gas Light Company. instituted by
Thomas l.. Hume, two weeks ago. We're
not. begun in good faith, but merely ''for
the purpose of attempting to force an ex-
tension of a Loan made to him by
Joseph Letter. president of the company,
and which fell due January IL, 1913, the
Washington Gas Light Company, today
answered the rule to show cause why a
receiver should not be appointed to take
possession Of the stock mentioned.
The company claims its purchase of
the stock was not beyond its charter
rights. which exclude only the issue Of
bills. drafts and the like intended to cir
culate as money. Congress has known
since 1907 that the shares We're in the
name of the company. and by appro-
priating for services to be rendered by
the company to the United. States and the
District of Columbia has in effect rati-
fled, it is claimed. the ownership, which
has also been publicly known since 1907,
and acquiesced in by it's stockholders, in
