WARRANT AFTER
SECOND ATTEMPT

Despite the face that William
Brown, colored, pleaded guilty TO tne
charge of assault and battery he was
dismissed by Judge Churchman in
City Court this morning after Judge
Churchman had reviewed the law
dealing with arrests on such charges.
The man was arrested early this
morning and as the officers on duty
at the police station at the time had
been serving for twenty-four hours,
they were not in court this morning.
Assistant City Solicitor Lynn said he
had been unable to find out anything
about the case, not knowing whom
Brown had assaulted AT this declar-
alton Thomas Ridder. colored, APP
peared with his hands bandaged and
said Brown had assaulted him.
Ridder said he applied last night
for a warrant for Browns arrest but
it was refused him. This was the
reason the case was dismissed this
morning Judge Churchman read the
law which stated that arrest on a
misdemeanor must be made or a war
rant or else only when witnessed by
an officer of the law. In this case
The law had not been complied with

mond State Fibre Company, gave an
excellent address on Christian Obli-

back cover.
On the first page inside the front
cover, there is an inscription: Pre-
scented to the Hotel DUPONT by the

The attractveness of each Bible is
enhanced by the addition Of a page
which contains Thoughts for Strang-

Street and Sewer President
Says Department Did Not
Suggest Idea

At the meeting OF the Street and
Sewer Commissioners this morning. a
letter was received from the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany regarding the stopping OF cars
on the near side OF intersecting
streets. The letter enclosed an order
by the company, on December "a.
directing all motormon to allow
passengers to alight from and board
cars by the front entrance in bad
weather. The order was as fol-
lows
owing to the near side stop order.
which went into effect on October 81,

TO apply when there is snow on the
ground You will therefore have

President Sparks, of the board. then
made the following statement regard
ing the letter and the near side stop
rule, at the suggestion of the other
members of the board
I'm connection with this letter from
the traction company, I am directed
by the board to say that they have
never approved OF the near side stop
or passed any order regarding It. but
through the pressure brought by
many citizens and through increased
traffic. making two stops necessary
on Market street. the board made the
request OF the traction company that
they issue orders giving the near side
stop a trial They have appreciated
for several years the various objec-
tons that have been published to Il,
but thought that we were probably
wrong IN our opinion, Judging from
the many requests, to the contrary
Consequently. we took the action
that we did. when we found that con-
ditions were exactly as we had sur
missed Upon the coming Of the first
heavy snow, we Immediately took IN
the matter with the request as set
forth in the letter Of the
Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction
Company
Moreover. we have been charged
with having passed a law compelling
the enclosing of street car platforms
p and while we deem this most hui
name law, we can claim no credit for
this, as IL is a statute we are lothe "a
because Il is enforced in every city in
the country and a ruling to the con-
trary is most confusing to strangers
Since the companies consented to use
the front door. we feel constrained tc
try it a while longer, and are opposed
to any other on Market street, as i
prevents congestion and greatly re-
lieves danger at street crossings.
A letter enclosing the photograph o
East Eleventh street showing the baC
condition of that street. near tho
,, bridge, was received from the clerl
of the City Council. The street com
missioner made a statement to tn
board. in which he said that the stree
