Warning brothers, the head of a tax
accounting firm and his employe, who
have been indicted by the grand jury
on charges Of conspiracy to defraud
the Government OF income taxes from
profits allegedly realized on the num-
bers game. indications are that the
case will 60 over until fall term of
District Court.
United States Attorney David A.
Pine explained that because Of a pend
ing demurrer, the case is not yet at
issue. Defense attorneys propose to
file additional pleas, which will post
pone the case further, Mr. Pines ONCE
has been informed.
Pleas Of Defense.
The information is that these pleas
will constitute motions to quash the
indictment and motions for additional
bills Of particulars.
The defendants are the brothers
Emmitt r., Leo Paul and Charles
Richard (Rags) Warring; Gordan L.
r. Sadur. tax accounting firm head,
and his brother-in-law and employe,
Henry l. Sherr. The Government
accuses Emmitt Warning of allegedly
obtaining net profit Of more than

to the indictment, the income tax
return revealed net profit of only
around $4,000 during the three years.
All the defendants have now been

Cox has overruled the demurrer on
behalf Of Emmitt and Leo and similar
action is in prospect in the case of
Charles.
Two Weeks for Trial.
Mr.. Pine said today the situation
was irritating, but "the Government
is helpless In the premises" and his
office has been ready to go ahead with
the trial since the indictment was
returned.
THE case will require probably two
weeks to try" he said. There are
only eight trial days left of this term,
before the beginning of the summer
recess. Although we are greatly dis
appointed over the turn of circum-
stances, I see little hope for a trial
Of this case during the present term" :"

DREDGES CLEAR
UNIT Of CHANNEL
Permanent Flood Control
Levee Also Finished,
LupIoW Reports.

Army dredges have completed
dredging and cleaning up Of the first
unit of the Washington Channel
waterfront project and will complete
work on the second unit by July l., IT
was announced today by Maj. w. D.
Luplow, Army engineer for the local
district.
At the same time, Maj. Luplow an
nounced completion Of the permanent
food control leyee extending from the
Potomac River to p, the Warrington
Monument along the general line OF
Constitution avenue.
Dredging and cleaning up Of the
east half of Yacht Basin No. l, up
stream from the Municipal Fish Mar
ket, has just been completed. This
work included Strengthening of the
shore line in preparation for bulkhead
and retaining wall construction. Sim
liar work in Yacht Basin No. 2 will
be completed within two weeks. =
Completion of this preliminary
dredging work will clear the way for
the first construction work in the long
sought waterfront development pro-
gram. Bids for this work have been
received and it is possible an award
may be made before the end Of next
week, paving the way for construction
shortly after the dredses are moved
out Of the second yacht basin.
Maj. Luplow said that although
funds have just been allotted for the
second years portion Of the waterfront
project, involving the completion OF
both yacht basins, which will be
started under the terms of the contract
about to be awarded, no effort to start
the second years work will be made
before 1899.
1t would be inadvisable to attempt
to carry on the two years work at one
time, he said, since it would unneces-
sarily disturb necessary river trafic
and because Of existing contracts fol-
use of space within the area Of the
second years program, which will not
expire until January. Work on the
east halves of the two yacht basins
probably will be carried nearly to
completion before contracts are
awarded for their completion, he indi-
Gated. Work on the east halves Of the
two basins probably will not be COM
pleted before next spring.
Preparation Of plans and specifica-
tions for the second halves Of the two
basins, however, will begin at once SC
that bids may be called for as soon
as progress on the work warrants issu-
ance Of advertisements, he said.
The final portion Of the permanent
levee, between Seventeenth street and
the Washington Monument, was COM
pleted yesterday, Maj. Luplow an.
nounced. The levee has been turned
over to the office Of National Capital
Parks for future maintenance as Z
part of the park system and the TEN.
porary construction shack on the site
is being dismantled
Construction OF the levee, involving
the moving of approximately loo, ,00C
cubic yards of earth, has been in prog.
ress since last January. The levee ha,
been raised to between 7 and q feet
above the crest level of the March
1896, flood, Maj. Luplow explained
and should afford protection against
the greatest flood that can be foreseen
Seventeenth street causes q gap in the
levee and will have to be plugged with
handbags or temporary NIL in case
OF a Hood OF extreme proportions.

SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS


BEEF prices are close to middle
preston levels, including even steaks
from the loin. Pork and lamb, too,
are very reasonable. Veal, however,
is high. Broilers and ducks offer the
best poultry values.
Eggs are cheap and plentiful, tho
the recent cold weather may slow pro-
duction. Butter and cheese are mod
erately priced.
Fruits, particularly juice and navel
oranges, grapefruit and apples, are
abundant and low in price. Strawber-
ries, while luxury at this season, are
not expensive. The large supply of
winter pears available means lower
than usual prices for this popular sal
ad and dessert fruit.
Seasonable foods make up the fol
lowing menus.

TEACH ME TO PRAY

1 had a dream-it was so real,
My mothers presence it did reveal
She was twin-they called her Lue.
talked to her about her sister Sue
She never made the least reply,
Altho kindness fingered in her eye.
In my room, she walked around,
I put on her dark blue gown,
1t was a privilege to dress her once
more,
That precious form that 1 adore.
l can't bring back the entire scene
Of all that happened in that dream.
When l awoke, she had fled,
An empty room was there instead.
The chair that once she occupied,
Is vacant by the home fire side.
Eleven years have passed since mother
died
The world seems changed from side
to side.
In a vision she is near me yet,
That precious face I'll never forget.

RADIANT LIVING
The RecOgn ton OF Infinite Love
By Rev. G.. nj. Griffith
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church


Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.
When Hagar, lost in the wilderness
and crazed by the suffering of her dy-
ing child, saw that we'll of water to
which God led her, she also saw much
more. She recognized the fact that
God was not unmindful of her need.
Driven by his fiery wife, Abram had
sent Hagar and her son forth into the
wilderness to perish. But God was
not to be thus misrepresented by harsh
ness. By disclosing to her a we'll of
water, He would reveal to Hagar His
true nature of compassionate mercy.
The greatest of the wells of Grace
which God reveals to men perishing
in the death valley of sin is revela-
ton of His infinite love-so fascinat-
ing to the soul, that mans whole
life is changed by it.
And so it might be that somewhere,
in some crisis of sinners life, when
the world has cursed him, and the self
righteous people have spurned him,
leaving him to perish in discourage
ment and doubt, that there has come
to him a revelation of the fact that,
as John says, "God is Love-"
Thank God for the marvellous
change that comes to those whose
eyes have been opened to behold the
we'll of divine love from which the
soul can drink the cleansing waters
of mercy and forgiveness.

REFUGE

The years stretch far, across strange
lands, wide seas;
They touch the mountain peaks and
desert sands;
They wind mid wooded glades and
flow'r-decked leas;
And leave light footprints on forgot
ten strands.
They come, they go, these fleeing,
vagrant years;
And oh, the grain ungarnered in their
train!
One can't look back without a serge
of tears
And heartache for the losses counted
gain.
So much which seemed pure gold was
gilded dross;
So many whom we trusted proved I'M
true;
So oft we found gray, ghostly Span
ish moss
Was hanging where we thought fair
verdure grew!
A-weary, hungry still for what is
best,
We seek, at last, the one who soothes
all pain;
earth turns no beaten wanderers
from her breast,
But heals them with her sunshine and
her rain"

Is more than l can plainly see

And in my mind it seems to stay.

Help me to take Thy hand in mine
