oughly while it is used in this way. At
the same time this building must be
suitable for use in the warmer months
and should, therefore, be fitted with
large doors which will make il more or

During all seasons il is necessary
for such barn to be furnished with
an abundance of sunlight. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that sunlight is neces-
sary in order that the stock may be
kept In good health. In addition, the
barn must be kept clean, and 1t is

There is a feed alley between the feed
racks and the sides of the center bay.
This feed alley is fitted with an over
head hay and silage carrier track
which goes all the way around the
deep bay, making it easy to scatter
silage into the manger under the feed
racks. The managers are quite low, so
the cattle reach down for the feed.
This permits placing the hayracks low
enough so the cattle can reach their
feed easily.
There are five stable doors which
are wide enough to permit a manure

manure may be removed with the

HOLDS GERMAN Line
Veteran Claims Allies Must Con.

"The United States will win the

1t is because of this fact that the

money to far more than take over
the balance OF power in the air over
the battle lines must be granted, in
the opinion of Capt. Cushman A.
Rice, of New York and Havana. a
veteran of the Spanish-American
war and former officer of the army,
who is now in this city.
I'VE don't want thousands of aero
planes for reprisals on Germany for
her killing of women and children in
France and England." continued the
captain. "TEese machines, and We
cannot have too many, are needed
to wipe Germany out in the air.
LAS a matter of fact" he contin-
ued, Germany is holding the Hin
denberg line today simply by the
weight of her heavy metal. The

into the outer edges, but the Krupp

committee DRAFTS
REPORT ON STRIKE
W. r. & E. President to Be Severe
w Censured.

Drafting of the report of the special
committee of the Senate which in
vestigated the recent street car strike
has begun
The committee held a special ses-
sion and is in comparative agree
ment on major portions of the re-
port covering their investigation of
ten weeks into wages and working
conditions on the Washington Rail-
way and Electro Company's lines.
No information has been forthcom-
ing from members of the committee
relative to what the report will rec
ommend, but it'll is known that Clar-
ence P. King, president of the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany, will come in for severe crit
icism for his actions preceding the
calling Of the strike by the local
organization of the Amalgarnated As
sociation of Street Railway Employees.
A majority OF the striking employees
have secured work with other COM
panies and many have Joined the
colors, so that only a small percent
age will be able to avdil themselves
of the chance of returning to work
with the Washington Railway and
Electric Company should the COM
mittee recommend their reinstate-
ment.
Since the committee completed its
investigations, the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company has grant
ed a voluntary increase in salary to
the conductors and motormen on its
lines. This increase embodies sub
stantially the same amount that the
Amalgamated sought before the strike
order was declared.

jacob Wins DIVORCE
after 2.YEAR Fight
Wife Gets S55 a Month Alimony
for One Year.

After being in the courts for nearly
two years. the Jacob divorce case
was settled yesterday afternoon. by
Justice Hitz, of the District Supreme
Court
William J. Jacob. a craftsman at
the War College, was awarded a de-
cree Of absolute divorce from Jean
cite NJ. Jacob. The decree is based
on cross-bill filed by the husband
in answer to a petition for limited
divorce filed by the wife. The wife's
petition was dismissed. but the court
allowed her alimony OF $50 a month
for a period of one Year, in lieu of
all her dover rights, and allowed her
counsel fees of $50. The couple were
married in August, 1872, and separated
shortly afterward.
At one time during the trial the
evidence became so conflicting that
Justice Hitz found it necessary to
visit a certain house on X street
northwest, in order to convince him
self if it were possible for a detec-
tive to look in the window of one
of the rooms and be able to see what
he said he saw.
On the witness stand Jacob testi-
fed that he married at the point of
pistol in the hands of a former
Congres essman, but the eX-solon de-
MED it, by telegraph. Attorney A. l..
