GREENE STATUE

The statue of General Nathaniel
Greene. in stanton Square, Massa-

Kirke Brown and was erected in

and commander of the Southern
department"

Mrs. Stoker was in the District
Jail today, where Judge Hit de.
cided that she must spend her
Christmas.
Spectators in Police Court yester-
day witnessed the strange sight OF
a father, John L. Byrne, appearing
as prosecuting witness against his
own daughter. Both are members
of a well-to-do Washington family
and live in the Portner Apartments.
Begs Another Chance
When she was arrested several
times before on similar charges,
Byrne always interceded for his
daughter. but yesterday he told
Judge Hit he had come TO the
end of the rope"
The defendant, quietly dressed
and soft-spoken, said she could nst
explain her weakness for intoxicat-
ing drinks. A note of desperation
was her voice as she begged for
Ieriency, saying:
II want another chance only for
the sake of my father"
Judge Hit remarked that several
judges of the Police Court had been
easy on the pretty matron hereto,
fore and sad she had apparently
been unmindful of the fact since
she was back again.
Thirty Days and $IO8
He imposed sentence of so days
in Jail and a fine of 800, with an
additional so days to be served in
lieu of payment.
He said that il Mrs. Stoker showed

Malay Peninsula Like
Dreamland, Says
Explorer

The Malay Peninsula was
described last night to the Ma
tional Geographic Society by
Carveth Wells, who spent six
years surveying for the railway
from Singapore to Bangkok.
In this strange land, Wells said.
fish live in holes in the mud
and climb trees. birds sleep up
side down, and lizards discard
their tails which go dancing
about.
One of the strangest things is
a plant which folds it's leaves and
lies flat on the ground. Some.
times, he said, when a buffalo
begins to browse on the edge OF
a field a whole acre OF bushes
will ~''lie down"
Fruits are so rich in pepsin
that a beefsteak folded into them
will be predigested. Butterflies
and moths measure a foot across,
but there is deer which. full
grown, is only seven inches high
and can be cooked entire in a
frying pan.

TRAIN, MAIL
Rl|SHES
BEGUN

Old Kris Kringle is a hard
taskmaster and is driving the
boys at the postoffice to set
new records for handling holi-
day mail.
'sIt may be Christmas for some
folks. said one big husky while
Juggling q heavy mail truck today,
"but it's anything but peace for us.
Christmas mail is pouring into
the postoffice In a veritable flood.
The long corridors are piled high
with packed sacks. all of which
must be placed aboard trains and
whisked ON their way to thousands
of waiting homes.
1,OOO Extra Work
More than Loon temporary work.
ers, in addition to the regulars, are
handling this huge tide Of holiday
mail. striving with might and main
to clear decks by Monday at mid
night. While IL seems q super
human task. they hope to succeed.
Not In all the records of the Post
office Department has the Wash
ington office been compelled to ham
die so much holiday mail and new
records are bound TO be made.
At the same time. thousands.
planning to spend Christmas in
their distant home cities. began
flocking to the Union Station to-
day, travel-bound.M II
1t was estimated that fully 1885,.
900 would pass through the por-
tails during the day and that for
the three days coming at least
300, 900 would board trains or leave
them here.
Christmas Day will be the light
est of the three, some $4,000 being
expected then.
Old Kris Kringle likes to see
his children travelling and the ef-
feet is being seen at the big
Union Station. Practically every
train is moving out in two Sec
tions, while some of the more
noted trains have three and four
sections. every car packed 10 ca.
pacity.
About 35 special trains have been
added to the schedule to care for
the holiday travellers.
However, the travellers are not
worrying the railroad men half as
much as are those long lines of
packed mail sacks
Uncle Sans mail must be moved
in record time, too" said the sta
ton master today, for they are as
important as our passenger trans.
portation."
That's why the Postoffice folks
are toiling like slaves, trying to get
all that mountain of mail out of the
way. To them, old Kris Kringle is
just another Simon Legree.

Bull DING
HEIGHT
STANDS

The practice Of the zoning
commission in holding hearings
on applications for special
permits and then conferring
with representatives of civic
organizations, who generally
recommended action adverse
to the applicants, was upheld
in the District Supreme Court
today by Justice Wendell 2.
Stafford.
The courts action followed hear
ing on q petition for writ OF man
damus By the Columbia Medical
Building Corporation, through Attor-
ney Frederick A. Fenning, to COM
pel the commission TO grant re-
hearing OF an application Tor permis-
sion to increase the height OF the
Medical Ats Building now under
construction at Nineteenth and I
Streets Northwest.
Protests Hearings
Fenning had complained that an
application to increase the height of
the building from 80 feet to 10 feet
had been denied. He informed the
court that following the denial OF
the application, it was discovered
that several local civic organizations
had made reports to the commission,
and that the report Of the Board of
Trade was believed to have been adj
verse to the application and instru-
mental in causing the commission TO
deny it.
The hearings could not be called
public hearings In that case, FenninR
pointed out, since the commission
later considere& other evidence In
private without giving the applicant
the right to controvert it. The com.
mission then denied the application
for rehearing.
Evidence Not Secret
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Frank Stephens, who appeared for
the commission. pointed out that
the evidence referred to was not
secret and that any one could have
appraised themselves of its nature
by inquiring. He further declared
that the commission was justified
In calling on civic organizations,
because 1t enabled II to keep IN
touch with the sentiments of public
spirited organizations in regard to
zoning regulations.
The ruling of the court was
largely based on the fact that the
law creating the zoning commission
did not prescribe that public hear
ings should be held. Accordingly
the hearing was not public one.
under the regulations. and the COM
mission cannot be compelled to grant
a public hearing which the law
does not prescribe
