ity ola building association for the acts OF
cmcers. The late secretary of the Ma
ilonal Capital deposited twenty shares OF
its STOCK as security for advances made to
MIN IN The washington Co operative, said
STOCK having already been deposited as Sc
eurify for advances from the National Cap
1tal association, who, on that ground, re-
1ufed 10 redeem the stock, alleging that
stock elsewhere as security. The court de-
c1ded the case in favor of the Washington
Cooperative, thus holding the National
Capital responsible for the acts OF the late
secretary. The amount In question was only
about seven hp ndred dollars, but the legal
principle involved is important. The case
was conducted by X. X. Elliott, ESQ.,, for the

DEFACING THE CAPITOL BUILDING
some malicious person or persons are evil
dently trying to deface the Senate wing Of

Ion of Oil, which must have been brought
INTO the building for the purpose, was spilled
"A day or two ago IL was discovered that q
large quantity OF blue ink had been poured
over the outer balustrade OF the corridor con-
Meeting the Senate wing with the main
building. The ink was poured In two or
three places and splashed about so as to do
as much injury as possible. 1t cannot be
removed without cutting into the marble
so many people are now at the Capitol every
day, the number OF visitors averaging more
Than thousand, that IL IL impossi BILE TO
keep watch OF them all. Even IL such sur
veillance were undertaken it would be pre-
vented by the fact that the number Of the
Capitol police was so reduced at the last ses-
sion mat The building cannot be properly
