The Street Extension Bills.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
At least three bills are now pending contem-
plating the extension of the streets and ave-
nues of the city of Washington or permanent
system of highways throughout the District.
The several bills contain many provisions that
seem to be meritorious and desirable and some
that seem to me decidedly Objectionable and
dangerous. Inste ad of asking the Commits
sioners to submit plan for such improvement
for the consideration and action of Congress
they give them a carte blanche of our District
with full power to make the law and then to
execute it-in one with two and half
millions at their disposal for the purpose at
their discretion. In two of said bills one
million only Is thus appropriated to start with
In some particular section of the District but
with S25,OOO more for expenses. These bills
seem to confer authority on the Commissioners
to condemn property and to cut and slash
through streets and lot lines and demolish build
lngs at their pleasure. irrespective of dismay or
disaster. Such legislative power should never
be given to executive officers, and especially to
executives of such dIffused and diluted respon-
slbIIlty. Justice Story in his commentaries
says: The ingredients which constitute safety
IN republican form are due dependence on
the people and due responsibility to the peo-
pie. BY union of the executive and legisla-
tive authority in the same persons with a diyi-
sion of responsibilities, there would be an end
to liberty" sec.

KILLED BY HIS FRIEND.
He Did Not Know That the Gun Was
Loaded.

Charles G. Riggs, a prominent society man
OF Syracuse, was shot and killed yesterday
morning by Robert E. Drake, a well-to-do law
yer, Riggs most intimate friend The story Of
the shooting is as follows: Drake and Riggs were
out for good time together on Saturday night.
They boarded at the same place, and, in COM
pany with several companions, strolled around
town, taking in the sights and enjoying them
selves. little after midnight they returned
to their boar ding house. The room occupied
by Mr.. Riggs is on the second floor, at the top
of the stairs. bath room divides his apart
ments from those Of Mr.. Drake. The two
young men, on entering the house, engaged in
light badnage and playful sport, racing and
chasing each other up and down the corridor.
Drake, on the inspiration of the moment,
picked up small rifle standing in the corner
of the hallway, and, with mock gravity, not
thinking that it was loaded, aimed at his friend
and pulled the trigger. A shot was fired and
Riggs fell with cry Of pain. Drake caught
Riggs in his arms and carried him to the bed.
He next summoned DR.. Mcnamara, who pro-
ceeded to make an examination. He found
that the bullet had entered the body low down
on the back, penetrating the spinal column at
the lower extremity and passing into the pei
vic cavity. In its passage it severed several
large arteries, which subsequently caused
death.
At o'clock yesterday Riggs made an ante
mortem statement III the presence of Drs.
Knapp and Totman, in which he distinctly
stated that he and Drake were good friends,
and that the shooting was accidental. Riggs
was a trusty book keeper in the employ of Ken
nedy, Spalding & Co., leading wholesale hard
ware men. He was twenty-five years Of age.
He was an active member Of the Onondaga
County Democratic Club. Drake is a young
and promising LAWYER of Onondaga county and
a member of the law firm Of McFarran Il Drake,
in Clinton block. He is also vice president Of
the Warden Manufacturing Company and a
local civil service examiner.

liminary Hearing.

who was brought to New York Saturday from
Muskegon, Mich, where he was arrested last
week, was arraigned before Coroner Levy in
the coroner's Office yesterday morning. He
had spent the night in cell in police head
quarters, where he was closely watched lest he
might attempt suicide. The murderer looked
the picture of misery. beard of five or six
days growth concealed a scratch on his throat
inflicted by himself with suicidal intent. When
arrested in Muskegon he tried to cut his throat.
Jackson, who previous to the murder was
strong and athletic looking, is now broken
down and emaciated.

A Suspicion that Domestic Unhappiness
was the Cause.

The suicide of young Edward F. Crosby, for
merly of New York and nephew of John Schuy-
Ter Crosby, in Helena, Mont, Friday was d
highly sensational affair. Crosby went to Mon
tana about six years ago, during the time his
uncle, j. Schuyler Crosby, was governor of the
territory. He secured a clerkship in the First
National Bank, where he remained for about a
year. After leaving the service of the bank
Mr.. Crosby opened law Office and did work
for eastern magazines and newspapers.
About this time he met Miss Jennie Brewer
daughter of Bishop Brewer. and mutual at
tachment sprang up. Three years ago Helena
people were much surprised at reading in a
New York paper notice of the marriage of
Jennie Brewer and E. f. Crosby. Miss Brewer
was at the time attending school in New York
whittier young Crosby had gone, it is supposed
to visit his relatives
Returning to Montana with his bride Mr.
Crosby continued his law practice and news
paper work. and in the latter scored brilliant
success. Shortly after his wedding he went to
Alaska, writing a series of news paper letters
for the independent on that country and its
people, which were extensively copied through
out the United States. Not finding the law or
newspaper business as profitable as he wished
Mr.. Crosby began to deal in real estate and
was most fortunate. He was genial a good
correspondent, and made friends wherever he
went, and with an extensive acquaintance
found but little difficulty in successfully con-
Quoting a number of large IDEALS"
Recently he went to New York and Europe on
a mission involving large amount of money.
Mrs. Crosby is very pretty 20 ung woman,
fond Of society and of gay disposition There
had been a growing enlargement between the
pair and Saturday night Crosby failed to re-
turn to dinner. The servants testified at the
inquest that after they had retired, about $50
o'clock, they heard Crosby go to his wife's
room. In few minutes the two women heard
a loud dispute going on in Mrs. Crosby's apart
ments, tho ugh they could not distinguish the
words. Both were satisfied that there was a
family quarrel The voices ceased suddenly
and then came the slamming of door. The
next minute the women heard the sound Of the
violent opening OF a drawer and then came the
pistol shot.
Bishop Brewer was an Episcopal rector at
Watertown, NY, before his appointment az
bishop of the Montana diocese

An Appeal for More Pens.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Would it not be good idea for the postal au-
thorities to provide a few additional pens for
the accommodation of the public in addressing
their mail matter at the desks at either end of
the main building on Louisiana avenue? Last
evening, between and 7, there were but two
pens (both in use) at the desk in the east en-
of the lobby and but one in the west end. with
at least half dozen exasperated persons wait
ing their turn for that pen" This Is so small
matter and SO easily remedied that trust
hereafter we may have a full quota of pens and
holders in the places provided for them at tn @
city post office-a move. l can assure you, that
will be appreciated by the "scribbling public"

own carriages to convey the injured to the hos

hardware store, has been arrested. 1t is feared
that there are several more victims in the ruins.

ROBBERY AT THE ELSMERE.
A Burglar in the Rooms OF Senator In
gals.
HE STEALS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH
OF JEwELRY BELONGING TO MISS ETHEL IN
eALLs-THE THIEF SEEN IN THE ROOMS By
LITTLE MURIEL INGALLS,.

Saturday afternoon some one, supposed TO
be professional hotel thief, visited the apart
ments Of Senator Ingalls, at the Elsmere and
helped himself to the diamonds and other lew
elry in the room Of Miss Ethel Ingalls,. Little
Muriel ingalls, heard a noise in her sisters
room, and knowing that Miss Ethel had gone
to the Blaine wedding she went to the room.
The door was open and before the bureau stood
a strange man. He was ransacking the bureau
drawers and had secured several hundred dol
lars worth OF Miss Ethers property. The man
turned from the bureau to leave the room and
the frightened child hid herself in the hallway.
He walked ieisurely from Miss Ethel's room
aud entered the room of another guest. Again
the child got glimpse of the man through the
door, and this time the intruder also saw her.
he asked her what she was running
about the hall for, and she told him
nothing. Although badly frightened, she
passed the stranger and went down
stairs to give the alarm. When some of the
boarders went upstairs the stranger had disap-
peared, and it was discovered that he had ran
sacked several rooms. but had only taken what
iewelry he found in Miss Ethel's room. When
the young lady returned later in the after
noon and examined her room she discovered
that not only had the burglar taken her jew
elry but he had also taken her graduation
medal The police were at once notified OF
the burglary and Detective Carter is now look
ing for the robber.
The Senator's home in Kansas was once
robbed in the same way. The thief on that
occasion also entered Miss Ethers room and
stole her jewelry. Blu. that time the consid-
crate Kansas thief, VINO took everything else
in the shape Of valuables he could find, left
