Case of the Banéroft Hotel — Notice ‘Was Served Some Time Ago— Not Complied With. . Building Inspector Brady has conciuded to bring into the police courts the owners of all large buildings where there are no fire escapes, as required by law, and the first prosecution was started in the Police Court yesterday, when Inspector Vermil- lion swore out a warrant against Col. Rob- ert Boyd, owner of the Hotel Bancroft, corner of 18th and H streets. This hotel is a four-story building, and attention was called some time «go to the alleged viok- tion of Jaw there. It is a singular coin- cidence that Congressman Cooper of Flor- ida, who was _so active in securing the passage of the fire escape law, lives at this hotel. Today the building inspector addressed a notice to Mrs. Kate Dean Owens, owner of the Owen House on Penn- sylvania avenue, where there was a fire only about two weeks ago, and from where the firemen rescued several men and wo- men. The information filed in the Police Court yesterday charges that Col, Boyd failed to comply with the orders of the building in- spector and chief engineer of the fire de- partment in reference to the fire escapes ordered for the house. "The Notice. When the Hotel Bancroft had been in- spected and !t was determined to have the law enforced a notic2 was sent to the owner as follows: “You are hereby notified to have erected on the H street front of the Hotel Ban- croft one combined fire escape, stand-pipe and ladder in accordance with the act of March 2, 1895, at the points designated, and of the designs approved by the Commis- sioners of District of Columbia, on file in the office of the inspector of bulldings, a copy of which will be furnished on appli- cation; and also to place in position, at points designated, the red lights and gongs. The gongs to be not less than fifteen (15) inches in diameter, and to be operated from the office. “You will please notify the inspector of buildings when the above work is com- pleted and ready for inspection.” When the Boyd case is heard, which will probably be some time next week, the court will, in all probability, be called upon to pass upon the law, and then there will, no doubt, be a number of prosecutions follow. ——— Two Ci = of Hent Prostration. There were two cases of heat prostration yesterday, one of which was very serious and may yet prove fatal. It was that of a middle-aged white man, who was after- ward identified as R. 5. Douglass of Balti- more. He was overcome about 3:30 o'clock in front of 119 Pennsylvania avenue and was at cnce removed to the Emergency Hospital. Doctors labored over him for hours, but during the night he became wild- ly delirious, and this morning it was stated at the hospital that he was In a very critl- cal condition and hardly expected to live. From what could be learned about the unfortunate man It seems that he was a dentist from Baltimore who came over to this city a couple of weeks ago to secure employment at his profession. In this he was unsuccessful, and, as his funds were low, he began putting up at cheap lodging houses near the Capitol. It is supposed that the man went without sufficient nour- ishment, for he had been complaining of feeling sick for several days, so that the sun's rays found in him an easy mark. Jose Gierow, colored, aged twenty-five years, was overcome by the heat while at work yesterday afterroon. He was re- moved to Emergency Hospital in the am- bulance, and after several hours’ treat- ment, was discharged as out of danger. ee Ice on Sunday. An interesting meeting of the good citi- zenship committee of the District CMristian Endeavor Union was held last night at the Calvary Baptist Sunday school house, A. 8. Taylor in the chair. Resolutions commending the daily papers for their zeal in the suppression of tmmorality and dis- honesty and for the elevation of the stand- ard of both public and private life, and pledging the committee’s hearty support in the work, were unanimously passed. The committee also adopted resolutions calling upon Christian people to refrain from pur- chasing ice on Sunday in order that the ice men may have one day of rest in seven. It was claimed that enough ice could be delivered Saturday evening to last over until Monday morning. A. BD, Shoemaker, attorney for the Anti-saloon League, was present, and ve some Interesting infor- mation as to phases of his work, and spoke on the points of strength and weakness of the local laws on the subject of Mquor traffic. Exhibits for Atlanta, At a meeting of the Atlanta joint com- mission last evening Mrs. Belva A. Lock- wood offered an exhibit from the peace congress, which was accepted. A reso- lution was passed requesting the chairman of each of the committees having in charge the official exhibits to report to the secre- tary by Friday the number and dimensions of the boxes necessary to ship each exhibit and what tables and cases would be neces- sary for use in Atlanta. As soon as this infomation is recelved the finance commit- tee will at once begin to raise the funds to defray these expenses, which, it is thought, will not amount to over $2,500, A report of work was also recelved last even- ing from the Federation of Women’s Clubs, SS New Pullman Line to Louisville via Chesapenke und Ohio Railwnay.

The members of the Street Railway Pro- tective Union took a few hours off yester- day and had a picnic out at Chevy Chase. All day the cars of the Rock Creek road were loaded down with the merry con- course of stalwart trainmen, with their wives and little folks, to say nothing very specially of sisters and sweethearts. The Marine Band Orchestra was present and there was dancing music all day, and the picnickers enjoyed the opportunity to the limit, The Rock Creek Railway Company did the handsome thing by the employes of their sister reads and gave the use of the grounds without charge and allowed a five- cent fere from the city to the Chevy Chase lake, which was a reduction of one-half. There were boating on the lake, tub races, base ball, and sprinting contests during the afternoon, and in the evening the elec- tric fountath was turned on-and the jolly crowds had a glorious time, not unmixed with anxiety when the storm came up and did its utmost to drench the finery of the ladies. The Speeches. Early in the afternoon Mr. I. W. Gwynn, the retiring recording secretary of the union, delivered an-address on the subject of labor, which was a well thought out and eloguent tribute to the earnest and deserving laboring man, by whose toil so- clety enjoys all its progress. In the even- Ing there was also an address by Mr. Frank Dent on the subject of organtzation, which dealt specially with the features of interest to the street car men, whose or- ganization had been a matter of great difficulty because of the misunderstandimgs and prejudices encountered both from within and without their numbers. Mr. Dent's speech was frequently applauded. J. M. Berger, president of the Washington Electrical Workers, made an address urg- ing aj] the street car men of the city to join the union and affillate with the various labor organizations. During the afternoon nearly all the ernployes of the Rock Creek railway joined the union. The Base Ball Game. The base ball game gave a great deal of pleasure to hundreds of the picnickers during the afternoon. It was a contest be- tween the Metropolitans and the Jolly Fat Men. The Metropolitans had in the field Messrs. Gilmore, Anderson, Ehrhart, Wag- ner, Russell, Gates, Kane, R. Dent, Broad- us and Skinner. The Fat Men had Graft, lien, Spaulding, Hughes, O’Brien, Mc- il, Myles, Deusche and Boardman. The Fat Men won, 12 to 5. Jesse Mann and Burt® Bowen took the prizes in the foot races. Harry Sturgess won in the tub race. Arrangements for the picnic were in charge of a committee, consisting of E. Donaldson, chairman; H. Loughborough, A. Clarke, A. P. Brown,:J. Ryan and C. Yeste, and President T. J. Lawrence and Vice President W. M, Hawkins, to all of whom great credit is due for the success of the occasion. ———E THE PHONOGRAPH PATENTS, The Graphophone Company Wins Its Suit Against Edison. In the United States circult court for the district of New Jersey, Judge Acheson has just handed down a decision of inferest to every user of the Edison phonograph, in the celebrated case of the American Graph- opLone Company of Washington, D. C., vs. Thomas A. Edison, and the Edison phono- graph works, in which the court finds for the graphophone company on every point. This case was argued and submitted in April last, by Mr. Phillp Mauro of Wash- ington, for the graphophone company, and Mr. Richard N. Dyer of New York, for Edison. The graphophone company, claim- Ing to own the fundamental patents, cover- ing all practical talking machines, and all perfect sound records, sued Edison, and all the principal dealers in the Edison phono- graph, alleging infringement of patents, and asking for an injunction, accounting, ete. Edison claimed that the manufacture ef his phonograph was lawful, and that he was licensed to do so under the graphos phone patents, by virtue of an agreement between the American Graphophone Com- pany and Jesse H. Lippincott, who was its sole licensee, but who afterward became bankrupt, and then died. The graphophone company responded that Lippincott’s license was personal, and not assignable, that it had expired because of Lippincott’s default, and that Edison's use of the graphophone patents on his phonograph was illegal; and Judge Acheson has sustained this position. Other suits, involving the same question, are pending in Massachusetts, Ohio, Il- neis, Pennsylvania, New York and Kansas against dealers in the phonograph; but the cese just decided is the principal suit. The effect of the decision 1s to secure to the American Graphophone Company a com- plete monopoly of the talking machine business. Mr. Edward D. Easton, president of the anetican Graphophone Company, said to- jay: “Edison, as is well known, invented the tin-foil phonograph, which was inerely a scientific toy, and of no practical utility. Tho patents of Alexander Graham Bell, Chichester Bell and Sumner Tainter, cov- ering the graphophone, and owned by the American Graphophone Company, created the talking machine art as it Is known to- day. They gave to the world three essen- tial features, all of which were new: A perfect sound record, a permanent record and a record readily detachable from the machine on which it was made. The so- called Edison phonograph of today is really a graphophone, as it employs the grapho- phone method of making and reproducing the record. The improved phonograph was first sold through Jesse H. Lippincott, president of the North American Phono- graph Company, who was authorized by the American Graphophorfe Company to do so, on condition that he pay the graphophone company a royalty on every phonograph. There was no litigation while his agreement was in force; but be became bankrupt, and failed to keep up his payments; and after- ward died. Then Edison began to put out phonographs without our authority. We filed our suits for Infringement of patents. He at first attacked the validity of our patents, but seeing the inconsistency of this position, inasmuch as all of his phono- graphs, for years, had, under the agreement with Lippincott, paid us tribute, he inter- posed, instead, the defense that he was licensed by us, through Lippincott. This is the plea Judge Achescn has just overruled.” SS Perfect ease, comfort and freedom at Coltons-on-the-Potomac.—Advt. ————— Organizations Elect Officers. Cammack Tent, No. 56, I. O.

If those interested will please refer to “The ‘country Gentleman,” issue of April 20, 1858, page 270, volume XI, they will find there the results of practical tests by Eben Wight, corresponding secretary of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, which show that no sulphur will be absorbed by the sap, and hence it will not benefit the trees in the slightest.

Brooks Gets in Serious Trouble. An itinerant representative of the cleth, Rey. Wm. Brooks, colored, was locked up last night at the station here on a charge of obtaining meney under false pretenses. While appearing to represent Maria Jchn- son of 27th street in an effort to secure a pension, he collected divers small sums from her, $2, §8 and $4, which, it is charged, he applied to personal uses. The Rev. Wm. Brooks’ dealings were broyght out through a visit to: Maria Johnson of the pension agent she had entrusted her case to and with whom the pension candidate thought Brooks was dealing. He knew nothing of the reverend fellow, who claimed to have given him $2, $3 and $4. Last night he re- inforced Maria's charge dy appearing against Brooks at the station. The Rev. Wm. Brooks gave his age as seventy-nin It is not known whether he is a regularly ordained minister or only ohe of the many who have adopted the title and habiliments. Grace Church. Yesterday it was finally decided by the Grace Church vestry ‘to construct the pro- posed parsonage within. the boundaries of the present church property, and not in the usper town, a section more suitable for residential purposes. It was argued that a pastor's residence should be in the midst of his people. ‘The contract for the construction will be let in a few days: Wholesale Row. In Water's alley, under the shadow of Grace P. E. Church, Louis Beckett, Rose Belt and Thomas Belt on Sunday evening last engaged in a wholesale row. Last night the officers succeeded in “jugging”’ the crowd. The arrested parties constitute a trio of “old offenders.” Their rows are as regular as the weeks. To make the welkin ring with curses, imprecations and blow strokes is a pastime of delight to them. One month of peaceful conduct would cause any one of these to die of en- nul. Their constitutions demand forceful activity. Notes. Miss Anna Pauline McGirr of 2811 Dum- barton avenue, daughter of Mr. Peter Mc- Girr of the bureau of engraving and print- ing, died this morning at 2:30 o’clock. She had been ill for several months. Deceased had many friends, who sincerely mourn her loss. The contract for grading, railing and Dallasting the projected Great Falls road, it is understood, has been let for $30,000, In a few days the plans of the company will be made public. Active operations will begin within a week. —_——___ EXCURSIONS. The Boston House Employes’ Relief As- sociation gave its fifth annaul excursion to Marshall Hall lest evening on the steamer Macalester, the event being the most suc- cessful one In every way that has ever been given by this organization, When the steamer pulled out from her wharf the crowd was immense and filled every nook and corner of the large boat and insured the financial success of the excursion be- yond a doubt. The rain, which fell in tor- rents just as the steamer reached the Hall, did not materially affect the pleasure of the occasion, «nd all the attractions at this popular resort did a rushing business. The dancing pavilion, however, was the greatest feature in demand, and from the arrival to the departure of the boat it was crowded by tireless dancers. Prof. Schroeder's or- chestra rendered selections on the way down while the Imperial Mandolin-Banjo Club geined applause for the manner in which they played several numbers on the way home. Those in charge of the affair were: Executive committee-Mr. Max Fischer, chairman; Messrs. Charles M. Keefer, John Davis, Charles B. Swan, Ar- thur M. Ornson; floor_committee—Messrs. John H. Olcott, Louis Walker, Herbert L. Bradbury, Ralph Dakin Scott, Herbert EB. Morgan, The Choral Society, probably the best known musical organization of the city, takes its annual outing to Marshall Hali this evening on the steamer Macalester. A great number of tickets have been sold every indication points to a most enjoyable The evening will most probably be clear and moonlighted and the many at- tractions, together with the sfiging of the will help to pass the evening in a pleasant fashion. The boat leaves at 6 and returning, will reach the city about 11, giving a long period on the green lawns under the spreading trees at the Hall. The sixteenth annual excursion of the Caledonian Club will be given to River View tomorrow, and nothing has been left out to make the day one of enjoyment and comfort. A program of music and games has been arranged, and the affair is sure to prove successful in every way. There will be music in attendance, and the steamer Samuel J, Penta will leave at 9:45 a.m., 1: nd 6:45 p.m., and the Harry Randall 30° p.m, at 5: Chapel Point is one of the gem spots on the Potomac, and each year grows tn popu- larity, and under Capt.

Hotel Belleview is now well filled with guests, and, swept by the cool breezes of the Potomac river and Port Tobacco bay is one of the coolest resorts to be found. The every Saturday excursions via steam- er Harry Randall are delightful all day outings, leaving at 9 a.m., and home at 10 p.m. The round trip fare is 25 cents, It is evident by the large crowds tha’ take the 9 o'clock boat every morning ta Colonial Beach that this trip is greatly en- joyed by every one.

So far as the trial board is concerned the investigatfon of Detective Proctor’s meth- ods in arresting George Maxwell and Miss Fynan for alleged violation of the Edmunds act is ended. The witnesses in the case have all been heard, and when the testi- mony is typewritten the Commissioners will have an opportunity to read what has been said and pass upon the case. When the board convened at, police headquarters yesterday afternoon Mr. Mullowny, the prosecuting attorney, was on hand to give evidence. He had given testimony the day before, and had not remembered a conver- sation alleged by Detective Proctor to have taken place between them. . After leaving the room his memory was refreshed, and yesterday he appeared before the board to tell of the interview, corroborating in part what Detective Proctor had said. Inspector Holtinberger and Detectives Gallaher and Rhodes gave evidence, telling of their connection with the affair. Inspec- tor Hollinberger first objected to having anything to do with the case, and later, when Mre Mullowny made the, request, he detailed Detective Proctor on the case. When Reporter Johnson of the Post was called he was asked to give the source of his information about the case, but he de- clined to answer. He failed to understand just what his presence there at the house had to do with the charge against the offi- cer, and Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting officer, spoke of citing him to appear in the Police Court for contempt. While the testimony was taken behind the scenes, and every effort possible was made tc keep the matter secret, it is known that Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny put the blame on the accused officer, and that In- spector Hollinberger put the responsibility on Mr. Mullowny. Mr. Pugh, who prosecuted the officer fgr the Commissioners, thinks he has made out a case against Prector that will call for a censure of some kind, while, on the other hand, the officer thinks the evidence shows that he only obeyed orders and served the |- warrant according to law. — Sidewalk Cases. Relative to the sidewalk obstruction cases, Attorney Themas, to whom a letter bearing upon this subject was recently referred, says in an opinion to the Com- missioners: “The two classes are distinguishable in this, that in the Leulslana avenue cases the persons proceeded against are occupy- ing the sidewalk for private business pur- poses. They are not in all cases occupy- ing it themselves, but in some cases rent it, and derive a revenue of the privilege. This has been determined over and over again to be illegal. In the case of the lum- ber dealers, they are charged with oc- cupying the parked spaces on certain streets for sterage purposes. It is not space set aside for sidewalk purposes, and such occupation has not been the subject of judicial investigation and decision. “Whilst there is a material distinction between the parking cases and the side- walk cases which an interested party might not readily see, I think, as a matter of administration, it would be well to treat all the cases aiike and suspend further prosecution in both classes until a decision by the Court of Appeals can be obtained in the pending cases.” The opinion was approved by the Com- missioners, except as to the sidewalk cases.
