The old man is great favorite on News

asthma, which he has to drown out occa-
sionally.
Last week ne started out to drown his
hay fever on pay day. When he left the
office he counted among his possessions $25,
his weeks salary. Just what happened to
him is a mystery. because he never gained
consciousness until he woke up in the sta
ton house the next morning. He searched
his pockets-they were empty.
Eight O'Clock came, and the station
keeper came to let him out. There was no
charge against him; he had only been
locked up to sleep it off. Stationkeeper
Collins called out Bob's name, and then be-
gan to hand out things that had been taken
away from him when he was locked up of
which Bob had no knowledge. First, his
watch, then $3.50, half as much again as
Bob had when he started out; then a new
suit of clothes. an umbrella, box of paper
collars and a basket Of grapes.
Bob Is still wondering where they came
from. But he entertains the highest opin-
ion Of the police department and the board

NORTH cAPlTok: STREET

Extend t. -
Argument. Filed Todnx-The Awards
Made and Set A.iae by the
Board as Excessive:

The attorneys for hose4nterested in the
opening Of North Capitol sstreet extended
today filed with the Con,Hfiss, oncrs a brief
setting forth at length bensonx why this
street should be opened tdtBi originally con-
templated
Since 1883 strong and continued effort has
been made to open up North Capitol street
to the Soldiers Home through the lands of
the Prospect Hill cemetery and the prop
erty of Mrs. Annie f. Barbour, lying south
of it. The Commissioners were instrument
tai In having q jury of condesnna zion ap-
pointed to condemn the land necessary for
such extension and afterward.- believing
the award excessive, they refused to open
the street. All of these things are fully set
forth in the brief filed today. Concluding,
the brief says:
"It is further manifest that not only is
the original award binding upon the United
States in law as we'll as In morals, but that
such award IS neither excessive nor subject
to possible dminution by any new proceed
ings IA the future undertaken after an as
stunned abandonment of the present inten-
ton to open the street. The honesty, abiI-
ity and fairness of the original commits
stoners, both in personnel and conclusion,
cannot be excelIed In the future hy any
other jury of condemnation. 1t Is manifest
that this street is to be opened. An aban-
donment Of that intention Is futile in belief
Or TACT.
Under all the plain circumstances which
surround this case 1t Is respectfully sub
mitted that Congress should be informed
by the Commissioners that the act of Au-
gust T. 1894. directing the acquisition of
this property and the opening of this street
through new proceedings cannot be ef-
fec:uated. because the courts have right
fully held that the proper authorities are
bound by the original proceedings and
award and that hence appropriations
should be Immediately made to pay the
awards thus given and thereby do tardy
justice to those who have suffered without
fault and whose property was. IN the first
instance, sought to be taken against their
strong and continued protest. until lured
into acquiscence by the plain provisions of
the act of December 21, 1893. which de-
clared U the express purpose to so take
the property; (9 provided plain. complete
and fair procedure for ascertaipment of its
values. and CS) making an appropriation
Immediately available therefor. Three
years have since elapsed. and for all prac-
tical purposes or uses by the present own
ers the property has been SO taken: and ad-
mittedly fair valuation has been placed
thereon by an unimpeachable commission.
Good faith. respect for judicial authority.
and the most tardy justice and public in
tegrity all combine to demand that this
original proceedings be consummated and
the just obligation of the public to these un-
fortunate land owners be met by final pay
ment OF the amount thus awarded"
