The grocer overcharged two
cents last evening, in his tin

some loud laments, but shall
go there nevermore. Most any
man may sting me once, but
that one instance should suf-

sting me twice. I'll pardon any
mans mistakes, if there's no
guile within his heart; but
when he makes malicious
breaks, 1 say, Farewell! We
twain must part! You classed
me with the easy jays, you hung
the boob sign on nay brow;
henceforth we go our divers
ways, companions once, but
strangers now" My trade the
grocer soon will miss; bought
large quantities of prunes; and
he, his bosom filled with bliss,
raked in my hard-earned plea

arrive, and sting me sore in my
own hall, sell bogus stocks in
blocks of five, and l admire him
for his gall. The polished
CRATER may appear, with every
smooth and modern curve, and
leave me broke, or pretty near,
and l respect him for his nerve.

TRACTION MERGER GAINS
CHAMBERS APPROVAL
Points to Evils Which Might Fol-
low Failure to Garry Out
Proposed Plan.

Resolutions advocating merger oil
the Capital Traction Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, practically identical with
those adopted by the public utilities
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce some weeks ago, were adopted
by the chambers board of directors at
meeting last night. The boards
resolutions set forth that merges OF
the two companies would be for the
best interests of the companies. stock
holders. residents, employees and all
concerned.
Following adoption of the resolu-
tions a committee is to be named by
President Robert n. Harper of the
chamber to draw up a bill for pres
entation to Congress providing for the
merging of the two companies.
Pointing out that unless increases in
fares are granted the Washington
Railway and Electric Company the
system will be forced into the hands
of a receiver" the resolutions recite
thGt 'if receiver is appointed there
would likely follow a reorganization
of the company, or the sale of It's
properties. and in either event the
prese2t stock, both common and pre-
ferred would become worthless which
would result in serious loss 90 w asn-
ington citizens.
advantages to accrue to the pubic
by reason of merger also are set
forth in the resolutions among these
being universal transfers and ma
terial saving in operating expenses.
The first result of the campaign OF
the chamber to bring conventions to
this city came yesterday when the
following telegram was received Dy
Robert y. Harper: Washington gets
next encampment of Veterans of For
eign Wars of the United States" This
convention would bring upward of
10000 people to the city. it was
stated Efforts are also being made
to get the next convention of the
Spanish American wa- veterans.
The question. of an "anti-loafing'
law for the District. modelled after
the Maryland law, ives discussed at
last nights meeting. A committee of
fifteen Will be appointed to consider

SUPPLY OF TEACHERS

Graduating Glasses of Normal
Schools Last Sprinr Smaller
Than in v

Definite information or ne number
of teachers to be available for the
opening of the District public schools
September % will not be known un-
til the teaching charts are made up
about September or 10. it was
learned today. Although school au-
thorities are not in a position to esti-
mate the total number of vacancies
on the teaching staff of the public
schools, there is reason to believe, it is
Indicated, that there will be, as there
was last year, a shortage of trained
teachers.
Graduating classes at the two nor
NAL schools, the Wilson and Miner
Normal. were smaller last spring than
in many years previous and this fact
in itself will tend to make the num-
ber OF teachers available smaller than
heretofore. Numbers of designations
have. been received during the sum
mer. These as yet have not been tab
ulated and will not be made public
until the next meeting of the board.
If it is found at the time the teach
ers are listed the second week in
September that there will be a short
age of teachers. an examination will
be held. probably early in October.

JUDGES DISAGREE
IN SROWALTER CASE
Fun Text of Opinion Has
Been Received in This
City.

Comics Of the opinion Of the re-hear-
ing II, the case Of Howard w. Show
aitar former vice president OF tne
First National Bank OF Fairmont, VINO
ii charged with allowing a certain
hank account to be overdrawn, nave
been received in this city.
The re.hearing was argued before
Judge Prichard and Judge Knapp, cir
cuff Judges and Judge Ross, district
Judge at Richmond, Va. on April ..
Judge Wood, the other circuit Judge
tried the case at Martnsburg ana
could not SIT in the appellate court:
Views Of the Judges are Numerically
opposite. Two concur in the opinion
that was handed down on October /,
while Judge Prichard. presiding CIR
cult court Judge, believed that the
lower should be reversed.
He believes that the government
should not have been permitted to
consolidate the indictments nor the
aistrict attorney have been permitted
10 argue that the bank lost money
IN account of the conduct of the de-
leadant. whereas It does not appear
mat the bank lost money on account Of
Tho deal for which the banker is in
dicted. BY failing TO submit to the
Jury the ninth bill of exception it
clearly raises the question whether
the defendant committed the acts
with intent to intlre or defraud

The opinion verbatim follows:
District Judge Roses opinion SAYS:
Careful consideration has been CIV
en- TO all that at the hearing was urs
cd upon behalf OF the defendant. but
the majority of the court adhere to the
opinion handed down October /. 1915
and to the conclusion therein reach
ed,'
Judge Prichard, circuit Judge, dis
senting, says: when this case was
here in the first instance on appeal
concurred in the opinion OF the court
ut that time. However. further con-
federation Of the questions involved
impels me TO the conclusion that the
Judgment of the court should be re
verged. The reason upon which
base my conclusion may be briefly
stated as follows:
tAlI am of the opinion that the
court below erred in granting the mo-
ZION OF the government to consolidate
me indictments.
tB) That the court erred in per.
uniting the district attorney to argue
ITO the jury that the bank had lost
money on account of the conduct of
the defendant, whereas it does not ap-
pear that the hank lost any money
on account Of the TRANSACTION for
which defendant was indicted.
tC) AS have stated. the record
shows that the Sank did not lose a
nsle dollar on account of any OF the
fnnsactions OF the defendant. There
'f,.re, 4 am of the opinion that III
cctirt erred in refusing to grant the
INSTRUCTION referred TO in the ninth
bill Of exception. The defendant was
entitled to have this instruction sub.
inttted TO the jury. 1t clearly raises
the question as to whether it was
shown By the evidence that the de-
ferdant committed the acts with
which he is charged, with intent 70
