What MIR. Eaton Says.

Mr.. volney Eaton stated to n Star re-
porter today that he was on the river In
an outrigger at the time that the man
jumped from the Aqueduct bridge yester-
day, as stated in The stsr. that the
man was Intoxicated ana should have
been restrained by the people who were on
the bridge. He continued: Il called to
them that they ought to be ashamed OF
themselves and not TO let that man jump
or. for he would XIII himself. They paid
no heed to what said. but even assisted
the man to a place to jump
IF Station Keeper Conway mao been
anywhere around he should have prevented
the man from jumping. ! have great doubts
as to his having been there at all, Tor the
man made a fairly good dive. the only
trouble being he spread out his arms ana
struck square on his head. he never
turn ed over once. This, no doubt dazed
him. for he was under water so long that
he was half drowned before he arose: As
7 was the only one near at the time 1 as
sisted him TO shore with my boat

UNIFORM MUNICIPALITIES.
Mr.. simmons Call. Attention Tn I.
Growing EVIL

MI George Simmons. secretary Of the
Columbia Heights Citizens Association Ia.
written TO the Commissioners IN regard 10
uniformity In the suburban street nomen-
cIature. In his letter he SAYS:
AS Is Wen known to You, great lack of
system exists I'm the nomenclature as well
as IN the alignment Of suburban streets
north OF the city. Numerous suggestions
aimed at improvement in the system Of
naming these streets have from time 20
time of late years, appeared in the news
Papers or the city ,eyery one OF which vould
doubtless be preferable to the present con-
fusing plan.
The territory represented by our assn
citation comprises two subdivisions. being
bounded on the east by Brightwood avenue
ana on the west by lsth street extended,
nth street IL extended being the dividing
line between the subdivisions. This terri
tory furnishes a good illustration of the
want OF system here referred to. The cross
streets, or those running east and west
through both subdivisions, while occupying
practically the same alignment, have two
sets of names. For example, Irving and
Roanoke streets. running from Brightwood
avenue 10 18th street extended. are in real
lily but one thoroughfare though burdened
with two names. The confusion resulting
from this condition OF things can be read
lily imagined.
The streets in the Columbia Heights
lean colleges and might with great pro-
priety be retained, the connecting streets
to the eastward in Todd * Browns sub
division to bear the same names. Two of
them, Princeton and Harvard, now con-
form 10 this plan. But IL IL be decided 20
give entirely new names to the streets on
this plateau then We would suggest the
propriety CT using the names of states and
territories of the Union that do not now
appear IN the street nomenclature OF the
District viz: The continuation Of Chapin
street eastward to be called Alabama ave-
nue., Clifton street changed to Dakota ave
nue., Roanoke ana Irving streets to Illinois
avenue, Yale and Bismarck streets TO Iowa
avenue, Princeton street to Michigan ave-
nue.. Harvard street 10 Montana avenue
Columbia avenue representing the Dis
trictD TO be extended t. BrIghtwoOd avenue
taking in Steuben street; keneSaw ano
Wallach streets to Nebraska avenue. Ken
yon and Marshall streets to Nevada ave-
nue., Dartmouth and Farragut streets
from 18th to Boundary 10 Texas avenue,
and Whiting avenue TO Utah avenue.
That there is passing need Of some uni
form, simple plan OF naming the streets In
the territory herein mentioned viii be ad-
mitted by any ons acquainted with the
present condition OF things, and We would
respectfully s0sgest and request that the
needed Congressional action in this oiree-
ton be Immediately urged BY YOU"

Rivers and Harbors,
All About Quarters.

One Of the effects of the recent reorgani-
zation of the War Department was the as
signment Of Col w. j. Volkmar of the ad-
jutant generals department to duty on
Governors Island, n. Y, on the staff Of
Maj. Gen. Howard, commanding the de-
partment of the Atlantic He reported for
duty on the 10Th ultimo. and had not been
there long before he got in trouble with
two other officers Of the rank of ma jor. with
whom he had been assigned quarters. He
held that his rank entitled him to better
accommodations, without the necessity of
associating with other officers of a lower
rank. Gen. Howard contended that he had
a right to assign the officers of the staff to
such quarters as he saw fit, and declined
to consider Col. Volkmars complaint
Thereupon the latter sent an appeal to the
War Department, and the question will re-
quire action by the Secretary. 1t is said
that Gen. Schotield thinks that the colonel
was at fault, and that ,Adjt. Gen. Ruggles
thinks he was in the right. The impression
appears to be that the department will
hold that Col Volkmar must abide by the
decision of the commander of the depart
ment of the Atlantic.

STANFORD ESTATE CLAIM.
Plans Proposed tn Hiring the Govern

Plans Proposed tn bring the Govern
ment's Shit to Speedy Trial
SAN FRANCISCO. August 4-The Chron-
tcle says:
Although the claim of the United States
against the Leland Stanford estate for 3d.
co,Gr does not become due until January
~ 1915. there is every reason to believe
that the proceedings in the state courts to
collect the alleged Indebtedness will be COM
menced at an early Date
Ihe suit has put cloud on every portion
OF the valuable estate, there to remain until
tne legality OF the claim has been passed
upon by the courts or until the time for
commencing an action for enforcing it's COL
suit is lost A
When. a few days ago. Mrs. Stanford. by
her attorneys. notified the government that
Its claim against the estate had been re-
1ected. 1t was generally believed that no
further action would be taken until the
HrSt bonds OF the Central Pacific Company
mad become due. Until that time the gov
ernment would have no legal right to en-
force Its claims. Since that time however
u Is said that Mrs Stanford has submitted
y the United states representative Dis
trlct Attorney Charles a. Garter a PROPOSE

asked to bring 1t without waiting until Ian

ceeiingiy anxious to have the matter clear

ROBBED A BANK.
That is the Charge Against Ezetn ana

His Friends.
Ex-Gov Campbell OF Ohio has SURRENDERED
his position as counsel for Gen Antonio
Ezeta and staff. the Salvadorian Refugees
row aboard the L. s. s. Bennington. It 10
expected that coun sci will be engaged ot
San Francisco to sue out a writ of habeas
corpus as soon the vessel arrives within
the jurisdiction of the courts Doubtless
Or. GuZman, the new Salvadorian minister

Tie eXtradition warrants, for which appli-
cation has been made to the State DEPART
ment, and thus the matter will be settled
JGdlclaiIy on its merits, to the relief OF the
State and Navy Departments, which have
found Ezeta to be a white elephant on their
hands.
The charge upon which special reliance
will be placed by the Salvadorian govern
ment III its application for Ezeta's eXtradt-
ton Is that he robbed banks. but. as the
general will contend that the money was
taken as a forced loan," we'll known in
Central American practice, and was applied
10 meet war expenses, 1t probably will he
Eeid that the offense was political and
therefore that Ezeta is not subject TO eX-
Il addition. There has been some change in
the attitude Of the State Department to-
ward this question, and at present it would
rather welcome a judicial termination of
the case. The first application for Ezeta's
eXtradition was made when he was a
refugee aboard the Bennington, lying off
La Libertad. In this particular it differed
from all other applications. for If complied
with the refugee must have been delivered
up without the opportunity and right, with
in the reach Of every other person sought
to be extra1ited in this country. of going
before a court on writ of habeas corpus
and obligiug the government making the
application to establish the fact that the
offense charged was really included within
the treaty provisions. Therefore the trial
of the Fzeta case on habeas corpus will re-
lieve the department from the disagreeable
necessity of establishing a precedent.

ARRANGING TRANSPORTATION
Trying to Get RID of the Industrtnr
Armies.

The machinery is at work. and before an
other week has rolled around 1t Is believed
the army Of the commonweal will be many
miles away from Washington. For the past
ten days the Commissioners have been in
consultation with the railroad officials. with
a view of agreeing upon terms of transpor-
tation for the army. AS yet no definite con-
illusions have been reached, although it is
expected an agreement will be reached be-
fore next Wednesday.
Mr. John Matchett has taken an active
interest in the matter, and is doing his ut
most to get the army away. He has writ
ten to the governors of Maryland and
Virginia about the matter. Gov. o. Ferrall
does not seem disposed to lend any aid.
Gov. Brown has not been heard from

friends, stripped her of clothing, pinioned
her hands and feet. dashed her to n stake
ard whipped her savagely over an hour
She was revi!ed. tOrmented and spat upon
by anybody who cared to. She WAS left al
