jury charging nuisance" Earl Dix
on, one of the white men, was con-
victed and was fined $25, and Jarrett
was given fine of $100 and the SEN
tence imposed by Judge Brown.
When the sentence was pronounced
the sheriff and those present in the
court room thought that Judge Brown
was merely joking, and when the
sheriff inquired as to whether or not
the judge was in earnest. Judge
Brown stated that his orders had
been given and the sentence must
be served by Jarrett. Sheriff Smith
called Jailer G. G. Bryant and the
inquiry was again put to Judge
Brown as to whether or not he
should remain tied there. Judge
Brown stated emphatically that Jar
rett must be taken to the place he
had deposited the dead mule, to be
tied to a tree as near the animal
as possible and that he would let
them know when to go for him.
Jailer Brown obey the orders of
the court and Jarrett was tied within
six feet of the dead mule and allowed
to remain there almost two hours
During this time a fine mist of rain
fell, the atmosphere was very cold
and the boy was allowed to stand
there with his head uncovered Some
small boys, passing, built a fire near
him. so as to drive away the chill and
cold, and when Babe" had served
his unusual sentence he presented
pitiful sight, it is stated by several
that saw him.
Members of the bar and the attor-
ney general thought that the sentence
imposed was a joke, and after the oc-
curence stated that it was an I'M
heard of legal decision and all during
the day there was considerable talk
on the streets as to the course that
Judge Brown had taken. Press stories
denying this staement are entirely
without truth, as the occurrence ac-
tually happened and considerable i'll
feeling existed among both whites
and Negroes.
Jarrett is said to have allowed four
teen horses to die this winter on ac-
count of being starved to death, but
he is known to be half-witted and
this attempted correction of his ill
doings is said to be useless.

that Celestial City where parting
shall be no more.
Be it Resolved that in the words
of sympathy expressed by the mem
bers of Titus Chapel tor the bereaved
family in this, their hour of afIiliction
as only those can feel who have been

"Since last October the business
world has been in one OF the great

place all the blame on their Repub-

ITO explain properly I'll have 20

one mentioned the following items,
which will be the cause Of the deficit
II there is one;
"Eight-hour police force, ie-
creased water consumption, ap-
proaches to B. and o. bridge. and
unusual crematory expenses.
There are also other items, but !
think these are the principal ones.
An eight-hour police force has been
in operation since January 1. which
will make six months OF additional
expenses not included in budget.
There is hardly a manufacturing
plant in the city running at any
where near full time. and hence
very little water is being used. This
is especially true of the leather
plants They all pay for water as
used and IL is easy to see why re-
oeipts are short, and very materially
so.
The Council OF 1911 adopted a
resolution pertaining to the b. &
o. bridge. to the effect that when
il was taken over as a traffic bridge
the city would bear the costs OF the
approaches. Who knew il would be
taken over in the year OF depres-
sion? The expense of this work was
not in the budget.

building in the District OF Columbia
in proportion to the population and
needs Of the people during the past
two years than in almost any other
large city in the United States.
Property owners who are content
with a fair return on their invest
ments have made no complaint and
builders who are not controlled by
inordinate greed have proceeded
with construction work, restrained
only by lack Of material, labor and
the high money rates. The Ball law
has not stopped any legitimate build
ing enterprises. on the contrary, Il
has stimulated building. II has done
this because il assures the honest
landlords a fair return on a fair val
uation of their properly.
Captain James oyster, one Of the
commissioners for the District OF
Columbia. said when Senator Ball in
troduced his bill he was opposed Ia
such legislation. but the practical
workings OF the measure had been
such as to convince him that it was
generally beneficial.
Since the enactment OF the Ball
law a number Of apartment houses
have been erected. One OF these
was sold a few days ago for S.
5OO.O and the original owners
admit they made a substantial profit
on the transaction.
All the new buildings erected
since the Ball law was enacted have
found ready purchasers or are pay
ing their owners substantial returns
in the form OF rents. This, it is
contended, is convincing proof OF the
fact that greedy landlords can be
restrained and regulated and at the
same time legitimate building en-
terprise can go wholesomely for
ward.
ITO Delaware belongs the honor
OF making life more durable for
scores OF thousands OF renters,
Commissioner oyster said.

TO be determined to confine the

II is understood that all thought OF
trying to get a more liberal conces-
sion for the State highway program
has been abandoned. Friends OF the
proposed new Eleventh street bridge
project for over the Brandywine are
still anxious to get that measure
through the Senate where it was

counts are not at all favorable.
The school budget promises 10
give the members several busy days
as the amount in the prospective
budget submitted by the State Board
Of Education to operate the schools
for the next two years was much
larger than was anticipated. II is
the opinion OF some members that
any idea OF a building program as
suggested by the state board will
have to be eliminated entirely for
this time and that about $500, 900
will have to be shaved off OF the bud
get for each Of the next two school
years. This would bring the budget
somewhere near S2.200.O00 a year
