The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia fcfas today asked to restrain the District Commissioners, the Washington Railway and Electric Company and the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company from Issuing or securing to be issued a permit to build a depot for the use of the latter company at the Junction of 15th and H streets, or Benning road, northeast. The application was made by Lemuel H. Trlppett, trus tee, and Nathaniel Wilson, owner of adja cent real estate. Justice Gould, to whom the petition was read, signed a rule to show cause returnable November 21*. A recent hearing was give# by the board of Commissioners of the objections made by the complainants in this case to the proposed location of the terminal for the new electric railway. At the conclusion of that hearing the board of Commission ers reserved its decision and referred the legal aspects of the case to Corporation Counsel Thomas. _ , In the bill filed today*Mr. Trippett de clares that he owns the tract of seven acres, and Mr. Wilson owns about eignt acres, both of which have recently been subdivided and designated as East Side Park. The tracts formerly had a front age of 1.200 feet directly on the Benning road, and had by that road the only access to the city of Washington. By *ct Congress, approved June 13, in Columbia Railway Company secured a strip of ground for the location of It. tracks along the Benning road, and since this acquisition the land of the com plainants has been cut oft and separated from the Benning road. In subdividing the tracts. It is stated, the owners dedicated to the public use for streets, avenues and alleyways ov?r one-third of its area. They have dedi cated ground for the widening of the Benning road for the purpose of relieving the great inconvenience and congestion or travel on that thoroughfare, -which is but forty feet in its widest part. It is claimed that the Commissioners are wholly without legal authority to issue the proposed permit, and it Is al leged that the consequences of the ejec tion and maintenance of such a building and its use as a station, and the construc tion of new tracks, will work great and irreparable injury to the complainant, and to all the residents and property owners or that vicinity, particularly to those residing and owning property on the north side of the Benning road. _. ... The complainants ask that the District of Columbia Commissioners be perpetually enjoined from granting the proposed per mit. or any permit, for the ronstruetion of the station; that the Washington Elec tric Railway Company be perpetually enjoined from further applying for and from receiving such a permit, and the: Washington. Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company from aiding or co-oper ating In obtaining the permit. The complajnants are represented by Attorney Clarence R. Wilson. Flags Presented to Public Schools.

I Several Badly Hurt, But Nobody Xilled. CHICAGO, November 20.?Eight per sons are known to have been injured and many shaken up considerably and still others had remarkable escapes in a col lision between the Waukegan express and a Barrington suburban train on the Chi cago and Northwestern road at the Hunt ing Avenue station last night. The accident occurred almost directly In front of the s?atlon depot on a "Y" switch track used by the Waukegan train In switching from the outside to the mid dle track. The Waukegan train, running at the rate of thiryt miles an hour, crashed into the smoking car of the local train which was the first coach behind the baggage car. The impact of the collision overturned the smoker on Its side and caused sev eral coaches of the express to ba tele scoped. All the injured were in the smok ing car of the local. Blame for the collision could not be as certained. but It is believed to have been caused by the engineer of ths Waukegan train running past the stop signal, which, officials of the road declare, was placed against it.

Tetrahedral Tenements. CHICAGO, November 20.?Plans for a mushroom skyscraper that can be built In a day weft demonstrated by P. W. Bald win, a civil engineer, before the annual convention of the American Institute of Architects here last night. By means of models and lantern slides Mr. Baldwin took Alexander Graham Bell's design of "tetrahedral" construction and showed the unique features of strength and stability to be obtained by using this principle. The framework consisted of "tetrahe dral" cells, such as could be provided by any of the rolling mills with comparatively small expense. It was shown that the "tetrahedray" could be used for office buildings and apartment and tenement houses. On account of the peculiar construction of the tetrahedron, a pyramid with its base and three sides exactly equal, scaf folding und superstructure are not needed. Boiling Eggs Without Water.

Jay Bowers of this city has returned home from a month's hunting trip In Humboldt county with a record of having shot two fine bucks with one bullfft. One was a forked horn and the other a three pointer. One weighed 134 pounds dressed. That two deer had been killed with one shot was not discovered until one of the animals was being dressed, when the bullet was found to have entered its right side, while Bowers asserted that he had shot the animal on the left side. An investigation brought to light the second deer lying dead close to where the first had been found. Evidently they had been standing close together. Death on the Mountains.

Express Regret That Motto Was Re moved From Coins. PETERSBURG, Va.. November 20.?The Virginia Southern Methodist conferenoe yesterday adopted a resolution offered by Dr. R. H. Bennett In regard to Dr. James Cannon's resolution protesting against the removal of the motto "In God We Trust' from United States coins, suggested by President Roosevelt, and declaring'that, "Whereas the motto 'In God We Trust' has been removed from the ntfw ten-dollar gold piece by order of President Roose velt, and in answer to remonstrances Pres ident Roosevelt states that there Is no provision of law to Keep the motto on the coin or to take it oft, but refers those opposed to its removal to Congress to de cide the matter, we are compelled to say ttiat we regret the removal of the motto, and following the line of his suggestion we request Congress to take the proper steps to have the motto re placed and kept on all our coins which now bear It." The conference voLed not to make a spe cial appropriation for the support of the superannuated preachers, but left the mat ter to stand as ordered by the general conference. Rev. S. J.

TESTING LOCOMOTIVE TYPES. ri'jie Pennsylvania Will Hold Exten sive Trials. PITTSBURG, Pa., November 20.?Be ginning next week and continuing for at least two weeks, the Pennsylvania rail road will' conduct the most exhaustive test of locomotives ever made by a rail road company. The object is to learn the actual worth of each of the five types of locomotives now in use on the system. The test will be made on the Crestline division of the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and Chicago, and will be in charge of D. F. Crawford, gen eral superintendent of motive pbwer of the Pennsylvania lines west, assisted by a .corps of scientific experts. The experts will select a piece of road which has all the different types of con struction, all the grades, curves and corf dltlonB. The different machines will be weighed. The fuel, water, oil, steaming power and other technical details will be as carefully noted, and in each case the locomotives will be given the tests of speed, drawing power, relative cost, rela tive wear and tear on' each, the effect on the roadbed and rail, and even on the ties and spikes. All strains and weights will be recorded, and from the mass of data thus secured It is expected that de ductions will be made that will have a far-reaching effect on the future orders of motive power for the entire Pennsyl vania system. At this time the first real test of the Pacific machine, the first of which was put In service several months ago. will be made. This is known as the largest passenger locomotive In the world.
