drove me to Chain Bridge. refusing to
let Benson ride with us, although I ex-
planned I wanted my comapnion to
arrange for bail.
"At Chain Bridge the officer tele-
phoned for a patrol wagon. 1t came
out from No. z precinct and I took
my first ride in a Black Maria When
they drove me up to No. precinct
the officers confiscated my fishing
tackle and knapsack, booked the charge
against me and lodged me in a cell for
30 minutes until friends could come
down with $25 to post for collateral"
On the following day Beverley was
convicted in Police Court on the testi-
mony of the officer, Policeman Clarence
Morgan of No. precinct, who recently
was assigned to protect the fish in the
Chain Bridge vicinity.
Judge John P. Mcmahon fined Bever-
ley $25, and the young mans wife had
to pay it because he was out of en-
ployment and short of funds.
Tackle Must Be Sold.
This morning Beverley called a second
time at No. precinct to ask that his
brother-in-law's fishing tackle be re-
turned. He was informed that the
tackle would have to be put up and sold
and that 1t had been turned over to the
District property clerk.
Beverley said he would have demand
ed jury trial in Police Court but he
wished to avoid the expense.
Il don't think I'll 60 fishing as long
as there are bass In the Potomac. !"

GARAGES LOCKED
ON RUM CHARGE
Owners Denied Bond for Use
of Property During the
Year.

United States Marshal Edgar C..
Snyder. acting under orders from
Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, today
placed padlocks on the two GlaSsman
garages at 210l Fourteenth street and
1919 L street. The court yesterday
signed final order declaring that the
garages had been maintained as places
where liquor was stored and distributed
and as such had become nuisances
within the meaning of the national
prohibition act. Use of both garages
Is denied their owners for one year.
Personal injunctions were granted
against Herbert GlaSSman, his brother
David and Is employees of the garages.
The building are owned by Francis w.
Hill and Henry Sherry. Hill, especially
opposed the padlocking of his garage,
but Justice Stafford ruled that he could
have discovered the use to which his
property was being put by a watch of
only one week, which would have dis
closed that large truck loads of whisky
were delivered there at all hours of the
night.
The owners sought to give a bond
for the use of their properties instead
Of having them padlocked, but the
court denied the application. The Civ
ing of superSedeas bond also was re-
fused.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
and Assistant United States Attorney
Harold w. circuit appeared for the Gov
eminent, while Attorney Alvin L. New
myer represented Glassman and Sher-
by. Attorney Francis w. Hill, IT,, rep
resented his father.

DANCE HALL HEARING
ENDS IN DISCORD
Application for Permit at POLL
Georgia Avenue Vigorously Pro-
tested by Lieut.. Van Wrinkle.

A public hearing on an application
for permission to run a dance hall at
POLL Georgia avenue broke up yester-
day when several Of the principals
stalked out of the boardroom of the
District Building in old-fashioned high
dudgeons.
The application was made by Thomas
E. Gardiner, one time proprietor of
the now defunct Old Dutch Mill. He
now runs the Silver Slipper Club at
the above address, but wants q license
to run a dance hall above it. That
was what the hearing was about.
Capt. Robert Emmett Doyle, in whose
precinct the proposed dance hall will
be located. gave Gardiner q clean bill
OF health. but Lieut.. Nina c. Van
Wrinkle talked unanimously in oppose
ton to granting the license.
Attorney T. Morris Wampler was
representative Gardiner.
Gardiner himself, who displayed irri-
tation throughout the hearing at the
mstnuations cast by Mrs. Van Wrinkle
upon the character of the establish
ment he formerly operated. finally
shouted: We'll, don't want a license
anyway" and left.
Wade H. CoonlbS, who was conduct
ing the hearing, appeared fiabberpasted
at these turns in the proceedings. and
was at loss to know whether to 90
on with the hearing or to adjourn It.
After consulting with Assistant Cor

SUBMETER|NG CASE
FIRST FOR KEECH.
New Peoples Counsel Will
Oppose Building Owners
in Power Action.

Richmond B. Keech will get into
action in his new role as peoples coun-
sci to the Public Utilities Commission
at hearing in Equity Court Friday on
the electric Submetering cases, brought
by owners Of large apartment and ONCE
buildings to compel the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. to continue to furnish
current at wholesale rates to be resold
to tenants.
Ever since his appointment Keech
mas been making an intensive study Of
the history OF these cases, and let it
become known today that he had de-
cloed TO align himself with the COM
mission and the power company in
nghting the submetering plan.
Il am opposed to submetering because
believe 1t would adversely AFFECT the
public's interest,"" said Keech. eft
would merely open up a field for a
middle man, to come in and make a
prontable business. He could charge
any rate, and retain the difference for
himself"
keech explained that submetering is
method whereby the owner of an
once building or apartment house buys
electric current. at a low wholesale rate
and sells it to tenant, USUALLY at a
higher rate. This method, he said. gives
the user OF the current no service which
he does not now receive.
Although innocent on its face. Keech
pointed out that since the retail rate
OF current TO the general public is gov
erned by the return which the power
company receives, the plan would in
evitabiy result in loss, of revenue to
the company and a consequent rise In
the rate TO consumers, as a large per-
centage of current now sold at the re-
tail rate would be sold at the whole
sale rate.
Keech's position, the first he has
taken since taking over the office OF
peoples counsel last Saturday, is SUBJ
stantially the same as that of the COM
mission and the power company. Cor
poration Counsel william w. Bride. as
general counsel of the commission. also
opposed the submetering plan about
month ago, intervening because of the
vacancy at that time In the office Of
the peoples counsel.
The submetering cases have been
pending in. the courts for several
months, progressing through various
stages OF legal maneuverS. The hear
ing Friday will be on a motion of the
apartment house and ONCE building
owners to strike from the proceedings
the power company's answer to deci-
sion Of Justice Stafford overruling the
company's preliminary motion for dis
missal Of the suit brought by the owner
for an injunction to prevent the power
company from disseminating electric
