Government. The Leviathan and Re-
public are reported to have suffered

DIME SCORNER GETS
6 MONTHS FOR ATTACK
Jobless Man Accused of Striking
Benefactor After Seeing
He Had Bills.

An ungrateful member of the unen1-
ployed ranks who scorned the 10-cent
gift of a passerby and attacked the
benefactor was sent to jail for six
months from Police Court today.
Charles w. Newman, 80 years old,
was accused of beating and kicking
Thomas L. Perry, ss6 g street south
west, when the latter's charitable con-
tribution was too small to suit him.
Perry told Judge Isaac r. Hit that he
was approached by Newman at Seventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue last
night and asked for money to get a
bite to eat. The man told the customary
story of being jobless and without food
for days. Following his gift, which he
said was all the change he possessed,
Perry said Newman struck him with his
fist and kicked him several times after
seeing he had three dollar bills.
Newman was unable to explain salts
factorily his attack when questioned
bv Judge Hit, so that magistrate
ordered $50 days in jail without offer
ing the alternative Of paying fine.

SPRING ARRIVES AT 9:O7 AM.
SCRAPPING HQUEER" WINTER
Complicated Routine of Sun Crossing Equator Marks
Passing of Season Without Zero Here.

Of the earth around the sun. Some
times the Spring of nature comes In the
middle of the mathematician's Winter
and sometimes Winter persists far into
Spring.
This year the departing Winter has
been queer season. In the District of
Columbia and the nearby States there
mas been hardly any Winter worthy of
the name, according to records of the
weather Bureau. Only points north of
line through New York City and Chi
cago had any ezro weather, except for
one drop OF the thermometer In South
ern Utah. Usually the line of zero
temperatures extends almost to the
Gulf Of Mexico at least once during the
Winter. Temperatures averaged from
4 TO Is degrees above normal except in
the South Atlantic and Gulf States,
which were or degrees colder than
usual.
It is probably linked up in some way
with the drought, but just how the
meteorologists don't know. Anyway, it
was q blessing TO farmers, who could
keep their stock grazing far into .the
Winter when they had no hay or grain
in the barns to feed them.
