Henry Bernheimer. a junk dealer, in busi ness at P*J8 C street northwest, was con victed In the Police Court today on two in formations alleging failure to comply with the measure law. It was alleged In one In formation tha* the defendant had a certain weight in his possession which he refused to exhibit on demand to the assistant sealer of weights and measures. The other infor mation set forth that the weight In ques tion was under proper wclsht. The evidence for the Kovernment was to the effect that the assistant sealer of weights and measures called at the de fendant's place of business May 10 last and discovered a weiKht which was below the standard and which the defendant refused to exhlbi'. The defense claimed that the weight came in with a lot of junk on the da> mentioned and was laid on the scales by accident. Mr. Bernheimer denied that he refused to exhibit the weight. Judge Scott said he was of the opinion that the e\ Idence warranted a conviction and Imposed a fine of $lo in each case. The lines were paid. Released on Personal Bonds. Henry Robertson, about twenty-four years old, was defendant in the Police Court to day on a charge of vagrancy. Two police men testified that the young man was In the habit of loafing around lunch rooms In the vicinity of 12th and K streets north west in spite of repeated warnings.

' An arrangement has been made by which the War Department will continue the oc c.ipancy of the Lemon building on Nrw York avenue near 18th strrtt for another year at least. This build ng Is occupied by the supply division, the division of mili tary information and the board of ordnance and fortifications. Some time ago the War Department was informed of the purpose cf the owners of this building to raise the rent from to Jlit.OOrt per annum, beginning with the 1st of July next. Inrs much ;?s the current impropriation"bill pro-' vidtd cr.iy yj.Oi0 for the rent of quarters for the office* named, the department was put to the necessity of seeking accommodations elsewhere within the limits of the appropri ation. Many buildings in the vicinity of ihe War Department were placed at its disposal, any two of which could be had for less than tO.UOO a year, and the depart ment had practically decided to take a building on Jackson place and another on H street. Before the to?got!ations to that end had been closed, however, the owners of the Lemon building notified the War Depart ment that they had concluded to permit the government to continue the use and occupancy cf that building at the present rate, viz:?$U.OGO,a year. In view of the fact that the quarters are entirely satisfactory <? the departm< nt, and the only reason for .> change was the proposed Increased rental, th* Secretary of Wor has concluded to ac ccpt the off r of <V owners cf the Lemon building nnd renew the lease of that buiid ui$ for another year.
