SPECIAL PROCESS
SERVERS UPHELD
Court Rules Appointments
Valid in Doherty and
Nixon Cases.

The authority of the courts to ap-
point special process servers upon
showings that defendants in civil ac-
tions are evading service was upheld
late yesterday by Justice Jesse c.
Adkins of District Supreme Court in
two well-known cases.
He ruled that Henry L. Doherty, oil
magnate. was legally served December
IA. when Gerald w. Sickler, George
Washington University student,
crashed the gate" at the exclusive
Gridiron Club dinner to reach him.
6ickler had been appointed an "elisor."
as such special court officers are
called, after Attorneys Alvin L. New
myer and David G. Bress, represent
ing the plaintiffs in IA suits against
Doherty arising from certain stock
sales, had contended Doherty was
evading service and that regular dep
uty marShals were unable to locate
him.
Nixon Case Involved.
The other case involved the service
on Mrs. Anne Cooke Nixon. third wife
of Capt. Thomas Hay Nixon. U. S. A.,
Of notice that she had been named CO.
respondent in the divorce suit against
Nixon brought by his second wife,
Mrs. Annette Pauline Nixon, former
stage beauty.
Harold T, Scott was appointed as an
"elisor" to serve the papers on Mrs
Nixon after the court had been told
by Attorneys w. Gwynn Gardiner and
James Earnest, representing the Sec
ond wife, that she could not be To-
Gated and appeared to be avoiding
deputy marshals. Scott found her
about 1870 am. January 10 in front
OF Stonleigh Court where she and her
husband had an apartment.
Scott reported he laid the papers in
Mrs. NiXons lap. She maintained that
he threw them into the car with such
force that they went out the opposite
car window and landed in the street.
The motion to quaSh the service was
submitted to the court, however, only
on the question of the legality of
SCOTS appointment Newmyer and
Bress, who argued that the naming of
Sickler in the Doherty case was valid,
contended the appointment of Scott
was irregular.
Deny Procedure Legal.
Attorneys Woodson P. Houghton
and Wade H. Ellis. who represented
Doherty, first raised the legal ques-
ton. They contended Sickler acted
either as deputy United States mar
shall or as an "elisor," which is an
officer authorized under the old COM
mon law. If Sickler were deputy
marshal his appointment was illegal,
they argued, since only the United
States marshal may appoint deputy.
If he was an ."elisor," they said, his
appointment still was illegal. since the
common law requires that a showing
first be made that both the sheriff and
the coroner have been unable to oh
tain service, and that this was not
done before Sickler's appointment.
The suits against Doherty we're for
recovery of money paid for stock in
the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil
Co., which allegedly was controlled by
the wealthy oil man.
Justice Adkins held that a rule Of
the court clearly justifies appointment
of special process servers and that it
is immaterial what they are called.

Potomac Power Report Re.
veaIs Rapid Rise in Past
10 Months.
By EDWARD C. STONE

Further evidence OF the long
strides taken by business in Wash
ington in the first 10 months of this
year Is brought out in the latest kilo-
watt hour sales report made by the
Potomac Electric Power Co. The
figures make available comparisons of
the first 10 months of 1886, with the
corresponding months in 1885, and
reveal very substantial gains every
month this year over last year.
The power companys kilowatt hour
sales report for October showed
total Of 51,347,076, as compared with
%5,507,734 in October. 1885, an in
crease in October this year of $780,
S42, or 1885 per cent. This is little
larger percentage gain than most Of
the other power companies in the
country have been reporting.
In the first 10 months of 1896 total
kilowatt hour sales compare as fol-
lows with the same months in 1885,
not only mirroring the gains over last
year but, in many instances, being
the best monthly totals on record.

Some of the
Many Reasons
For the remarkable business
in the Washington Market

The Federal Governments monthly pay
roll in Washington is $15.753.823. The mu-
nicipal monthly pay roll is $1.952,754.
Washingtonians pay more in personal Fed
eral income taxes than any one of 36 States.
Washington corporations pay more Federal
income taxes than any one Of . States.
The average Washington family spends
$2l7 annually as compared with the next
highest. New York. Of 1892. While the
average of the United States per capita is
$o2950. The Washington per capita is nearly
~ times greater.
Local Washington merchants. whose sales
are the true barometer Of business. have con-
tnuously reported consistent increases in retail
sales-the Christmas business Of last year
reached the highest point since 1929.
The Christmas Savings Clubs in Washing
ton recently distributed more than S. 100000.
in amounts averaging $79-to one in every
eight residents, and this amount was nearly
twice the national average of $44.
Washington is said to have the largest num-
Der Of automobiles in proportion to the popu-
lation of any city in the world 10000 more
license tags had been issued on January lst
than year ago.
Washington is FIRST among all cities in the
United States in the number of telephones per
100 population on-and with an average of local
originating calls of 780125 per day. The new
telep phone installations during 1885 were
1906.
The National Capital is host to more than
million visitors annually-tourists or dele
gates to the ever-growing number of national
and international conventions Of industrial,
financial, professional groups and whose
stays vary from few days to weeks. Thus
Washington is a very practical point in which
to exploit products Of national distribution.
And so on-in every activity; and by
every comparison - Washington is a major
market and with one newspaper that
adequately covers it from one end to the other
