Note Tied to It Conveying Some Startling Information. A bicycle which had been hired at Rob- ertson’s bicycle store yesterday by a white man, who gave his name as J. Johnson, was found abandoned last night about 12 o'clock near the Long bridge. Special Ott- cer Rupple discovered the abandoned wheel, which had"a note tied to it, asking that the bicycle be returned to the store. The note concluded: “Drag the river and you will find Jim Johnson.” The bicycle was turned oyer to the police, but the river will not be dragged unless there is some me tangible evidence that there Is ‘a Body in the water. Today the bicycle was returned to its owner. BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION. A reference to the statement be- low will show that the circulation sworn to Is a bona fide one. It ts easily possiblé for a «news- paper with an elastic conscience to swell its legitimate circulation enor- mously, in order to Gecetve adver- ers, by sending out théusands of papers to newsstands, which are re- turnable, and which are in. fact re- turned, but nevertheless are in- cluded in what purports to be an honest statement’ of Circulation. Intelligemt advertisers, bowever, Judge by results, and bogus circula- tions don’t give them. The famMfy circulation of The Star is many thousands in excess of any other Washington paper.

A CONDUIT CONTEST Rival Electric Companies Arrayed Against Each Other. THE EQUITY COURT The Complaint An- swered by the United States. AN INTERESTING TRIAL a 18 THE FIELD Potomac’s A hearing was held today in Equity Court No. 2, before Judge Hagner, in the case of the Potomac Electric Power Company against the United States Electric Lighting Company and the District Commissioners. The case was instituted by the Potomac Electric Power Company with the filing of a petition for an injunction against the United States Electric Lighting Company to prevent the latter company from exe- cuting any work under permits granted by the District Commissioners; also to prevent the Commissioners from granting any fur- ther permits to the defendant company to extend conduits. When the pedtion was filed in court, it was stated, the United States Electric Lighting Company was engaged in con- structing &@ conduit on 9th street, and de- sired a permit to lay a conduit on 14th street. The Commissioners, so it was said, were about to issue the desired permit. In its petition the Potomac. Electric Power Company maintained that the Commission- ers lacked power and authority to grant such permits. Al the hearing today the Potomac Elec- tric Power Company was represented by Attorneys A. S. Worthington and J. J. Dar- ington. Attorneys James K. Redington and Jere Wilson looked after the interests of the United States Electric Lighting Com- pany, while Attorneys 8. T. Thomas and A. B. Duvall were present in behalf of the Dis- trict Commi joners. The Defendant Company's Answer. After the reading of the petition -of the complainant company by Attorney Worth- irgton, the answer of the United States Electric Lighting Company was submitted by Altorney Redington. It declared, among other things, that the occupation of cer- n streets and avenues by the Potomac company is prohibited by, contrary to and against Jaw; that all contracts ever enter- ed into between the late board of Commis- ners and the Potomac company for the ighting of any public highway lying east tock creek, except in Eckington, were made without authority of law, and are illegal and void. The United States company admits, in its answer, that it uclion of @ con tition of the Po cem- it it explains that the the Commiss' and that the c all tor the vicusly t was being built extending a ene and the tem of onnect the with a pre- y stin nduit_ approaching Co- ‘ia Heights from the south in. 15th Street. Parther Denials Ma Continuing its answer the United States Com enied that since June 11, 1896, it has extended its underground cenduits end wires east of Rock creek and within the fire limits, to Mount Pleasant, Wesa- irgton Heights and Columbia Heights. It its that, under authority, it has ex tended certain of its conduits so as to leach er approach, severally, certain tech- 1 subdivisions. It is denied that tie Company has applied for @ construct a er station conduit from its ut 11th and B streets so it is stated, to extend an already existing conduit sit uated in 14th In street. the permit last refer it is explained, s em- braced d pation for a permit to con- struct nduit from 14th und S$ streets to 1th street and Florida avenue, adding that this second application was intendod solely to enable the United s Company the two previously ¢ conduits in 1th stre so as to ma through counection Mount Pile: and Colurnbia Height, The Uni tates company, in ite an- swer, at it ever admitted that it is not seeking the extensions com- with plained of by the Potomac company for the purpose of lighting the subdivisions re- ferred to. Although south of K street and we h street the United States com- Pany has several conduits upon different streets, running north and south, it says those conduits are in all cases entirely fit- ted with cables now in use for lighting that section of the city, so as to leave nos additional ducts for use in the suburban divisions, provided the conduits are ex- tended. It is denied that ample conduits for the lighting of the sub:iivisions in ques jon, were already constructed prior to the ap- plication for tne 9th s t permit. It fs uso denicd that the digging up of the treets required for the laying of conduits the United States Company, in. pur- nce of its application, constitutes a pub- mu ice or that the digging up of the streets woula permanently injure existing pavements. Concluding Claims, In’ concluding its answer the United States company sets forth the claim that under the facts set forth by it, and particu- lariy under the acts of June 11, 1896, and March 3, 1897, it is entitled to extend its underground conduits and wires east of Rock creek and within the fire mits, in- cluding its juits in 14th street and 9th street, to and into Washington Heights, Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights: that t permits complained of for such ns were proper and legal, and that that has been done thereunder or is sed to be done by the United States is within the authority of law. pd States company asked that training order be discharged. Commissioners Claim Authority. After a number of affidavits, subscribed by prominent electrical engineers and tend- ing to support the position of the United States company, had been read, Attorney Thomas submitted to the court the answer of the Commissioners. In it they express the belief that they were fully authorized to issue to the United States company the permit in question. There are practically no statements in the answer of the Com- missioners that are not covered in the answer of the United States company. Counsel for the Potomac company asked that the hearing be adjourned till next ‘Tuesday in order that additional attidavits might be secured and presented. This move was vigorously opposed, however, by Attorney Redington, who charged that it was merely a pretext on the part of the Potomac company to continue longer the temporary restraining order that is pend- ing against the United States Company. After the point had been argued at length, the court at 1 o’clock ordered a recess un- ul 2 o'clock, Judge Hagner stating that in the interval he would determine whether or not the motion for a_ postponement, in order that additional affidavits might be filed, should be granted or denied. Hearing Adjourned. After recess Judge Hagner announced that he would permit counsel for the Po- tomac company to file additional affidavits. ‘Two sworn statements were thereupon pro- duced, one of them alleging that certain conduits in which the United States com- pany claims electric cables are laid are in reality empty. Counsel for the latter com- pany asked for time in which to prepare an affidavit in ccntradiction of that of the Potomac company, so the hearing was ad- journed until next Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. by the re Se British Steamer Ashore. .

OCEAN, HOME FOR ORPHANS A Summer” Retreat for the Inmates of St. Rose Industrial Home, r The Bequest’ of the Late William Leach to Be Devoted fo the Pur- pose—Plan to Be Followed. Negotiations are under way for the es- tablishment at “Ocean City of a summer retreat for, the children and officers of St. Rose Industrial-Home for Girls, on G street between 2ist and 22d. The school has at Present sixty-seven pupils, orphan girls from the District, between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one years. ‘The present quarters, while large enough ton of the inmates, who have to do a large amount of sewing, have ected with them on which they can x much-needed exercise. The proposed home at Geean City is intend- ed for this purpese during the summer months. Two lots are under contemplation for the site e home The Money Secured. One of thy xisters of the institution, in speaking of the move to a Star reporter this morning, suid: ‘We have just secured the money with which to purchase the lot, and on which to erect the house. ‘The amount was be- queathed to St. Roxe Home about six years ago by a Mr. Willlam Leach, an old bachelor resident of Washington. We have been fighting for It In the courts ever since, and the case has just been settled in our favor. We do not get all the money, how- ever, as some of it will go to a nephew. “There is left, however, some $10,000 or $12,000, which it is thought, with other help, will be sufficient for the purpose. “Mr. Leach, some time before nis death, visited the different institutions of similar character to ours in the city. He decided that this was the most worthy, and his will wes made accordingly. He knew that the girls were required to work hard at sewing in the house most of the months during the year, and he had the object in view of providing them a suitable home for the summer months when he made his will. “The money was left so that it could be used for no other purpose. “Naturally we are intensely gratified that the money will come to us, and the children will have the home.” Ocean City Selected. “They will in all likelihood spend the months of July, August and September at Ocean City, and the time spent there will doubtless be of inestimable benefit to them. “We are looking at two lots in Occan Clty, of about three acres apiece, as sites fer the home, but have not decided as yet on either. The owner of one of the iots has stated that he will give something t ward the purchase of the lot. Ove s near Washington, and 1s such a place as will be suitable for us, so it will be selected for the retreat.” it w: ated further that as soon as the lot was Cefinitely decided upon and pur- chased preparations for building would be commenced be ri immediately, ‘The 1 ady for the visit of the S people next summer.
