A—10 COURT ARS ROW NEAR CATHEDRAL Colored Janitor Released on Bond After Scene In- volving Several. The story of & melee in front of the ‘Washington Cathedral, participated in by several residents of the fashionable section, & colored janitor and several colored workers from the cathedral, ‘was told in Police Court yesterday when the janitar was tried for assault and disorderly conduct. Judge Ralph Given declared Leonard Clark, colored janitor at an apartment in the 3000 block of Wisconsin avenue, not guilty of assaulting Charles W. Donohue, 3022 Wisconsin avenue, and engaging in disorder yesterday morn- in %‘e!nmony revealed that Mrs. Louise Donohue and Clark were drawn into an exchange of words when the janitor ordered some children, among them Mrs. Donohue's young daughter, to “stop playing with the hose.” Donohue found Clark under an auto- mobile which he was repairing. He de- clared that he struck Clark and held him down only after the colored man had threatened “to knock my brains out.” Clark said that Donohue jumped on him without any provocation and that he had not insulted the wife. Several other persons joined in the affray. About 30 colored workers rushed over from the cathedral grounds and rescued Clark. Rev. Henry B. Hodgkins of St. Albans Church said he saw three men holding Clark down, that the men came over from the cathedral, blows were exchanged and Clark was taken by the workers. When police arrived, Donohue was seated outside of his apartment with a rifle across his Knees and Clark nearby with a pair of hedge clippers in his hands. Clark was escorted to the four- teenth precinct and subsequently re- leased under bond. WILE TO BE GUEST AND CONDUCT FORUM Picnic to Be Held by District Dem- ocratic Women’s Educational Council.

While the world has seen some 200 Schemes for 2 universal language, the wo most widely known are Es and Ido. s Esperanto was formed in 1887 . L. L. Zamenhof. Its chief !eltux‘z ?I’e that its grammar can be grasped in half an hour, all rules are without exception, spelling is phonetic, and the dictionary is small. The language has received widespread recognition. Ido represents an attempt to simplify Esperanto and was instituted in 1907 by Couturat and De Beaufront. The Ido adherents say that they have rendered Esperanto more natural and scientific, what with the abolition of accented letters, correlatives, the com- ry accusative and the reement ©f the adjective with the noun‘.“ 3 Dail Reduction Proposed. ‘That the Irish Free State Parliament have fewer members for reasons of econ- omy and efficiency has been proposed in Dublin.
