VIOLATIONS OF LA^f.
Junk Dealer Fined $10 in Each of Two
Cases.
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. Rob
ertson. the officers said, had been found
asleep in doorway* on numerous occasions.
The defendant denied that he was as bad
as he had been painted. He said he was
employed as a bicycle repairer. He wus
released on his personal bonds.

* Anniversary.
Mrs. Llda A. Oldroyd. the president of
the Department of Potomac Woman's Re
lief Corps, has about completed arrange
ments for Flag day exercises. The na
tional president. Mrs. Calista Robinson
Jones of Vermont, has directed all the
corps In the United States, so far as prac
ticable. to hold Flag day exercises in their
various Jurisdictions. Under these instruc
tions the Department of the Potomac will
not combine in one grand celebration, as
usual, but Mrs. Oldroyd will request each
corps to appropriately commemorate the
anniversary of the birthday of the flag.
George H. Thomas and Lincoln Relief
Coi?? fcave (heir plana about perfected.
and the members of the other corps are
perfecting their arrangements.
Mrs. Oldroyd and the patriotic instructor
of the department, Mrs. Agnes Keeler. have
entered most earnestly upon the Flag day
work. Some time ago Mrs. Keeler requested
the board of education to permit her to
place In all the schools of the District a
paper on the birth and growth of the flag,
to be read on Flag day. The board granted
this permission, and a "Story of the Flag"
will be part of the exercises in all the
schools of the city. It is said this is the
flrst time a patriotic work of this magni
tude has ever been undertaken by the De
partment of Potomac W. R. C.
Mrs. Oldroyd desires that every efTort be
put forth by the members of the order of
which she is department president to as
sist ttie national encampment committee in
Its patriotic exerctoes on Flag nlffht. Jure
14. and as far as possible to avoid conflict
of dates.
The department president also requests
that all loyal7-people give expression to
their love for 'the flag by flinging it to the
breeze from their houses on Flag day and
by wearing a miniature flag.
Arrangements for Lawn Fete.
Arrangements have been completed for
the holding of a lawn fete on the lawn of

Government to Take the Lemon Build
ing at the Same Rental.
' 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.
