In connection with the aumonltlon 10
unit commanders contained in the order
to keep on the rolls only such personnel
as is active and whose attendance at
drills can be secured, the brigade head
quarters issued the following general
orders:
"The strength of the District of Co
| lumbia National Guard on July 81, 1890,
was the maximum strength authorized
| by the Militia Bureau. The strength OF
! the organization was reduced TO this
amount only after the 121st Engineers
and Company A, 372d Infantry, had
/ been called on to reduce their strength
| by % and 3, respectively.
THE National Guard OF the District
| of Columbia row has reached point
where applicants for enlistment must
await an actual vacancy in the unit in
! which thsy desire to enlist before they
| can be enlisted This Is a condition
which should react favorably to the
organization as a whole.
Unit commanders are enjoined to
| continue their efforts to secure accept
able personnel for enlistment to main
tain their units with active personnel at
| the present authorized strength. Militia
| Bureau figures show that the enlistment
of an average of two and a half men
| per month is required to maintain an
active unit. Now is the time to estab-
! lish waiting lists DO not continue on
the active list personnel which is dis
interested Or Irregular IN attendance

ASSAULT CHARGES
Women Authorize Complaints
Against Youth Shot
by Policeman.

Formal charges of assault and assault
to rob have been lodged against Charles
F. Dickerson, "a, of 2727 Eleventh street,
colored elevator operator at the South
Cathedral Mansions, who ran amuck in
the northwest section of the city Sat-
urday morning and was halted only
when shot twice by Park Policeman
Grover Shumaker.
The charges were placed against the
man last night after Detective SergtS.
Charles Mansfield and Thomas Nally
had talked with Mrs. Nettie Rogers Of
2415 California street, telephone oper-
ator at the apartment house, and Mrs.
Carrie Simpson. the apartment man
ager, both OF whom were injured by
Dickerson and are still confined to
their homes.
Mrs. Rogers is listed on police head
quarters records as the complainant on
the assault charge against the colored
man, while Mrs. Simpson is the COM
plainant in the case of assault to rob.
DickerSon has been pronounced sane
by stan physicians at Gallinger Hos
pital. where he is recovering from gun
shot wounds in both legs. Dickerson
claims he remembers nothing of what
transpired from the time he is said to
have attacked the women until he was
shot. Doctors who examined the man
attribute this to temporary lapse Of
memory.
Dickerson will not be arraigned in
court until his wounds have healed
sufficiently to permit him to walk.

STREET RAILWAY
RULING AFFIRM Ed
Court Holds Capital Traction Is Not
Common Carrier by
Railroad"

The Capital Traction Co. is street
railway and not common carrier by
railroad" within the meaning of the
Federal employers liability act of 1908,
according to an opinion of the District
Court Of Appeals rendered today by
Chief Justice Martin.
The leasing and operation of lines
into nearby points in Maryland does
not change its status, the court held, in
affirming a decision of the District Su-
preme Court that John w. Mangun, a
motorman of the company, who was in
Jured March rs, 1924, when another car
OF the company collided with his car,
waited too long to bring suit for dam
ages against the company.
Suit was not instituted until March
70, 1925, almost two years after the
accident, and counsel relied on the
provisions Of the act relating to rail-
roads" which permits the fling of suits
within two years, while the section re-
lating to street railways" allows only
one year for bringing suit.
The United States Supreme Court
held the Washington Railway g. Elec-
trio Co. to be railway company and
not street railway" because 1t was so
incorporated, had full powers Of eminent
domain and large portion Of It's line
was on private right of way.

WOMAN AND SURETY
HELD IN DAMAGE SUIT
Mrs. Knapp Assessed $125 for
Changes Made in Porch Fronting
Her Neighbors' Homes.

Mrs. Minnie Knapp. and James C.
Dulin, surety on her bond, were held
today by the District Court of Appeals
liable for $125 damages to Leo T. and
Nellie Dugan, next-door neighbors to
Mrs. Knapp, resulting from the separa-
ton OF frame porch running across
the front of four houses, two of which
were owned by the litigantS.
After the neighborS had occupied the
houses for some time Mrs. Knapp COM
planned that the Dugan porch was in
bad repair which caused the water to
leak through into her porch to its great
injury. She asked them to repair the
porch, but they declined. Mrs. Knapp
then employed carpenter to sever the
porcheS bringing the end of her porch
eight inches from the partition line.
While the work was in progress the
Dugans brought suit for an Injunction
and asked the court to make Mrs.
Knapp restore the porch to its original
condition.
An injunction was granted, but later
Mrs. Knapp was allowed to substitute
a bond of $3.50 to indemnify the
DuganS when the court had determined
the actual damage After a hearing
the District Supreme Court assessed
the damage as S125 and Mrs. Knapp
