Gasoline Pumps Not

10 DEFENDANTS
ARE DISMISSED

The so-called gasoline pump cases
were called In Municipal Court this
morning. The State and the attorneys
for the defendants, Robert G. Hartman
and Philip l.. Garrett, agreed 10 base
all cases on the result Of the trial of
one. The charge against Oliver P. Ford,
a Pennsylvania avenue dealer, was
taken as the basic case. The other de.
PENDANTS were Charles A. Fisher. Max

Tile testimony in the Ford case de-
velonod that permanent pipe line ran
from Fords store, under the pavement,
to a standplpe, located between a tele-
graph pole and the curbstone, and fast
ened 70 the pole, with the hose through
which the gasoline was delivered 10
the automobiles OF customers. This is
a one-lnch pipe and the pole is about
ia Inches in diameter. The testimony
agreed that the pipe was in no sense
whatever an obstruction OF the side
walk.
In his argument Mr.. Hartman con-
tended that the Street and Sewer De-
partment resolution, or ordinance. was
discriminatory, and therefore void, be-
cause II prohibited only gasoline and
air pipes from being placed under the
street and did not prohibit the install
latlon OF any other kind Of pipes. Mel
Their does the resolution prohibit hitch
ing posts, telegraph, telephone, guy
poles, awning posts.
He contended that the mere statemep,
OF the Street and Sewer Department,
that these things are nulsances does not
make them such. and that the law is
not uniform lie commended that a mu-
nicipal corporation may not declare that
to be a nuisance which, in fact. is not
although il is empowered by law 10 de-
clare what shall constitute nuisance
and its decision upon the matter is moi
conclusive.
The court agreed that all should be
treated alike, and that the prohibition
OF air and gasoline pipes, while per-
hitting the use of wster and D pes
for other uses was discriminatory ard
void. The cases were all dismissed
The court said that none OF the tn 'ngs
mentioned In the resolution could
poss by be nuisances In themselves
but may be In their use, and the
Street and Sewer Department could
not regulate them in this manner.

reports from Ptking to-day, has taken
possession Of the palace occupied By
President Ii Yuan Hung and is sur
rounded by prominent military leaders.
A demand was made on President Ii
that he resign in favor OF Hsuan Tung.
The President replied that he would re-
sign in favor of the Vice-President, as
he was unable to resign in favor Of the
Emperor.
Telegraph and telephone Offices are
closely guarded and kilograms canno,
be sent to Picking.
The first intimation foreigners in
Picking received Of General Chang
Hsun's coup was the appearance in the

soldiers. According to some reports
tho Fmperor was crowned immediate

reported to have been carried out with
the greatest precision.

must come on the battlefield. But,

End of the Reserves
Already in Sight

France is in sight Of the end of her
reserves. She has to send to the front
everv man able to stand on two feet.
The proof Of this is the way they have
combed out the embusu6s in the Maison
de la Presse.
From a population of fewer than 3d.
100000 France has sent one in six into
the armies. The 1917 class went into
the trenches in the middle of last year,
1916. They were in the fighting a.
the Somme at the age of nineteen. Four
regiments Of the famous Goth Corps,
the most famous fighting corps Of the
French army, had one boy from the
1917 class in every squad of four men
The 1917 class helped to take Maure-
pas.
Part of the 1918 class is in the
trenches to-day. And the 1918 class
produced fewer than $4,000 recruits
only a little more than 100000. In
GLIDING cripplcs. the 1918 class could
not give 225,OOO men.
These are specific instances of what
the war has done to France. of the sac
rifce she has made. By March, 1916,
the record Of French klled-leaving
out entirely all account Of the wound
cd. disabled and prisoners was 1922 900
By March Of this year the number was
more than doubled To-day the French
killed approximate 100000.

eve can hold our own until Septem-
ber." he said; perhaps until the end
Of September. But no longer. We have
not the men to keep up. We have used
I'd our reserves. We no longer have
the fresh men 70 send into the firing
line to take the place of those killed
or put out of action. The end Of Sep
tember at the furthest is the end Of
our reserves - and that depends on
whether there is great offensive this
summer. A big offensive uses up not
only munitions but men as we'll. II we
undertake a big offensive we will have
TO throw our men freely into the fight
ing and keep on throwing them in.
That means reserves used up. And that
means our reserves used up at the be-
ginning instead of the end Of Septem-
ber."

ismissed the Premier from Office IN a

The dismissal Of Tuan, following
shortly after his resignation because
OF a disagreement with the President.
was the signal for the gathering OF the
military governors OF the North at
Tientsin, after they had met az Peking
and voted in favor Of war. The mill
tary governors were strongly suspected
Of being favorable to the cause Of the
Manchus, and an agitation in favor Of
the restoration was known TO have been
conducted in China ever since the
establishment of the Republic, growing
considerably stronger. however. since
the death OF Yuan Shih-kai, whose per-
sonality was such as almost to estab-
lish him on the throne.
Since the dismissal Of Tuan Chi-Jui
the contest in China has been tri-
angular one. the parties being the I'm
perialists. the Liberal Republicans and
the Conservative Republicans, the lat
ter being aligned with the Imperialists.
Instead OF reinstating Tuan Chi-Jui IN
power, the military governors. COM

Lansing Cautions
Passport Indorsers
From Tie Tribune Bureau

Washington, July Don't write
letters Of introduction for persons re-
curing passports unless you actually
know them very we'll"
That. in effect. is Secretary OF State
Lansing's caution to ready letter
writer's.
Mr.. Lansing's statement, IN part
says:
the selection Of persons for pubic ser
vice il IS usually necessary 10 rely 10
n considerable extent. II not entirely,
upon the recommendation OF the per-
sens or organizations by whom the ap-
plicants are introduced.
There seems 20 be n most unfortu-
nate laNness in the issuance OF INTRO
ductory letters by private individuals,
as well as commercial houses, banks
and other organizations. IL has ire
0uently happened that individuals who
rad presented letters OF the highest
commentator, some OF them written
by persons Of prominence, were after
ward found TO be of questionable
character and even of doubtful loyalty.
In some instances IL was found that
the persons introduced were not Ameri-
can citizens.
1T is earnestly hoped that hereafter
persons who write letters of introdue-
ton for use in connection with applica-
tions for passports or positions IN the
public service will do so only upon a
real acquaintance with the applicants
and knowledge Of their character and
loyalty, as well as their identity and
citizenship. such letters will be
deemed to have been given with a due
sense of responsibility. and the writers
viii be accountable for the sponsor
ship which the letters assume
