that he was to retire. Notification was
made to customers by the firm, he said.
At the time of the dissolution. Mr. Will

LATCH STRING OUT"
SHE SUES FOR $4,000
Mrs, Mary Grove Tells Court How
She Was Injured in Mrs.
Milstead's Home.

Too much hospitality resulted in a suit
for $4,000 filed by Mrs. Mary Grove yes
terday against Emmett c. Milstead and
his wife, Mrs. Minnie Milstead, 1908 Sixth
street northeast.
Mrs. Grove, in her suit, said that for a
long time she had been n frequent and
welcome visitor at the Milstead home
and that the defendants often left their
inner vestibule door unlatched so that
she could walk right in.
One evening-the evening, in fact-Mrs
Grove went, as was her custom to visit
her friends, she said. She rang the bell
several times, she said. but received no
response. When no one came to welcome
her, Mrs. Grove said, she thought that
the bell had not rung, and started into
the vestibule.
There was a hole in the vestibule floor.
Mrs. Grove, her petition declared, fell
into the hole and was jammed there
tightly. She suffered severe and perma-
nent injuries. she said.
Attorney l. ]. Mather and Richard ].
Downey represent Mrs. Grove.

SUBURBS MAY SUFFER
IF RATES INCREASED
Commuters Say They Have Settled in
Adjoining Towns Because B. & o.
Offered Railway Inducements.

That the proposed increase in commuta-
ton rates to points along the Metro
politan branch of the Baltimore and OHIO
Railroad will, II enacted, greatly depre-
ciate the value OF real estate at those
points, and that the enactment OF such
increases will result in the commuters
travelling over the electric lines where
possible, was the substance OF testimony
given by commuters before Examiner
woodward, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, yesterday afternoon.
At Yesterdays sessions the testimony
was closed, and February 10 set for argu-
ment of the case. Examiner woodward
stated that this date was the only time
available for argument until June An
effort was made by counsel for the COM
muters TO have arguments postponed un-
til June, claiming that the early part
of February would handicap the COM
muters' case
Witnesses for the commuters stated
that one Of the main reasons why they
had settled at stations along the Metro
politan branch was the offer by the rail-
road of inducements in transportation
rates and various rebates. They pointed
out that, in many cases. they are so
situated that they must either patronize
the Baltimore and Ohio road or perma-
uently leave the suburbs.
E. S. Cissel. local real estate operator.
who has charge of the rental OF more
than 15o cottages at Washington Grove,
stated that he was almost certain the
proposed increase in rates would leave
more than 100 of these cottages vacant
next summer. In bringing out the fact
that the stations along the Metropolitan
branch had been developed chiefly
through the inducements offered by the
Baltimore and Ohio, Mr.. Cissel stated
that some years ago the railroad sup
piled the trustees of Washington Grove
with passes regularly, with the under
standing that they were to endeavor to
bring people to the town.
J. H. Boydon, of Glendale. Nd, was
called by the commuters to show that
increased rates to suburbs along the
Pennsylvania line had not been put into
effect without any opposition by the COM
muters of that line. Mr.. Boydon pro-
duced a copy OF a protest made by the
commuters of that line, and stated that
not knowing the rules OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. they had filed II
too late for consideration in granting the
increase. This witness was called, it was
explained, for the purpose OF dlsproving |
point brought out in the early part OF
the hearing, that the commuters OF the |
Pennsylvania road had not protested to |
increased rates.
