VIEWS OF TIE COMMITTEE.

In its report the Committee on the Dis
lrict of Columbia aSs the passage of this
legislation seems essential 10 the accom-
mediation OF The people of Anacostia. The
committee has Il petition, signed by over n
thousand citizens of Anacostia and Hills
dale, pra wing that This bill he passed. The
present charter or the company provides
that the ears OF the company shall cross
the AnaCostia River on n ferry boat, the
idea being that, i'll time, a suitable bridge
would be built. In reference 10 this, the
report of the committee says;
There is 30 immediate prospect OF the
construction of sIrh brl'.t. ana the only
way 10y which tic company can setinto tie
city OF Washington by using the Navy
Yard bridge iu common WIN thc Ana
costa Railway Company, which already
has tracks on the bridge.
The bill under ConsiGv ion, the report
continues, provides that from the Navy
Yard bridge 10 u point IN frcnt OF the
Navy Yard the company shall construct an
underground electric system, anu snail
transfer passengers 10 and from the Capltal
Traction COmpaDy's lines at the Navy
Yard. Free transfers are required, so
that for the pa rInent OF enc fare pasSen-
ger can go from any pGini reached by one
line 10 any point reached by tic ether line.
In Anacostia there is no essential change
in the routes OF the company. one Drancit
goes from the bridge TO q point south OF
Overlook Inn. Tie other branch goes from
the bridge past the Government Asylum for
the Insane To Congress Heights. or these
routes, the latter will occupy n street wide
enough 10 admit n dOuble-track road with
ont Inconvenience. The branch going 10
Overlook Inn will probably HcceSstatc the
widening OF the street in a few places, and
this is provided for i'll the original charter OF

HOME OF REFUGE OPEN,
Federation of Women Takes a Little
Arabian Girl as the First
Inmate.

The Federation of Women for Public
Good has Just opened the Home of Refuge
at 1867 Golden Gate avenue for the tenn
porary shelter of destitute women and
children.
The first inmate is a little Arabian girl
known by the name of Jennie" and the
ladies' have already decided that the five
year-old child is mascot. Jennie was in
deplorable condition when she was taken
into the home. Almost her only clothing
consisted of a thin cotton frock which wa
torn and dirty, and The child was gener-
ally in very neglected condition. How
ever, bath and new suit OF clothes eff
fected great Transformation, and Jennie
has been found TO be such bright, intelli-
gent child that it is the desire of the ex-
ecutlve board to bring her up in the shell
ter as a mascot. The child's parents
brought her about a year ago from
Arabia. Soon after reaching this City she
was deserted by her mother, ana her
tatner, who is very Ill, is quite unable to
do anything for the child.
at present there are beds in the shelter
for six destitute women or children.
When the place is more fully furnished
there Will be room for twelve. Mrs. Tru.

in women and children who are without
shelter, and though the ladies have not

absence he preached in Indianapolis. A
unanimous telegraphic call from the
Tabernacle reached him here on Satur-
day. On Sunday he gathered his elders
together and laid the telegram before
them, stating that he had not yet decided
to accept it.
1t is generally understood by members of
the Trinity Church flock that the pastor
will go TO Indianapolis, and when ques-
toned on the subject yesterday Mr..
Smita did not deny that there was a
strong probability of his deciding to go to
the wider sphere of work. His loss would
be quite blow to his congregation, as he
has been their pastor for nine years, and
during that time parochial affairs have
worked smoothly and harmoniously.
Rev. j. Cumming Smith is native of
Toronto. Canada. He graduated at the
Toronto University and for time held
professorship there for science and the
dead languages. Afterward Mr.. Smith
came to visit his father, who was pastor
OF st. Johns Presbyterian Church in this
City. He was licentiate at the time and
secured call to officiate temporarily at
the Howard-street Presbyterian Church.

Super visors Decapitate One
of the Prosecuting
Attorneys.
Mr.. King Would Not Assign
Any Reason for the Sud.
den Removal.
Special SESSION to Be Held Wednes
day to Investigate a Telephone
Company Bond.

The official head of Charles Fl. Forbes,
Prosecuting Attorney of Police Court 1,
was dropped into the basket at the meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors yesterday
without any reason for the decapitation
being publicly assigned.
The matter came up in the form of a
resolution from Supervisor King, sum-
marily dismissng Forbes and filling the
position by the appointment of Thomas
QuigIey.
Supervisor Hobbs rose to inquire what
it was all about, saying that he had been
away and knew nothing of the contem-
plated removal.
81 don't care to explain" said Super.
visor King, "the man next to you will tell
you all about it,
THE man next to Mr.. Hobbs was Su-
pervisor Wagner, who is known to enjoy a
large measure of Mr.. Kings confidence,
and he leaned over and whispered in Mr.
Hobbs ear. The Supervisor from the
Eleventh seemed satisfied and there was
no further opposition to the removal.
Mr.. King would not tell why he had
caused the removal of man for whose
appointment he was responsible, but it
was rumored that he had been in a fistic
en- counter with Forbes or some of his
friends, over transactions that took place
during the recent campaign, and that he
had rather the worst of the argument. A
few scratches across his right cheek and a
somewhat lacerated nose gave color to the
report.
Another rumor connected Forbes with
the recent investigation of Head Janitor
Murdoch. Whichever surmise is correct
matters not, for Attorney Forbes is among
the outs"
The bond of the Peoples Mutual TeIe-
phone Company to cover damages to pub
lie streets while erecting its poles and lay
ing its condults was presented and laid
over until Wednesday morning, when q
special meeting will be held to hear the
City and County Attorneys opinion on
the document. In the meantime the
sureties named, who qualify in the sum of
$4,000 each. will be investigated.
BY resolution the Pacific Tele phone and
Telegraph Company was instructed to
place telephones in the residences of Po-
lice Captains Gillen and Spillane and in
each OF the new food inspection stations.
The bond of the same company to cover
damages to streets while LAYING under
ground conduits was approved in the sum
OF $40, 600, with Oliver EIdridge and Will
liam T. Goad as sureties.

Objects of the Plan.
Mrs John Pettee and her friends are
anxious to press forward their plans foI
the provision of little homeless City waits.
A friend of the cause said yesterday:
"The intent of the promoters of the pro-
posed Children's Emergency Hospital and
Receiving Home enterprise in connection
with and as an adjunct to the Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Children is to
have place available at any and all times
where children suffering from disease and
injuries who may be taken in charge by
the society can be received and given the
necessary medical or surgical treatment
free OF charge. In many of the existing G
institutions for the care of children it is
very undesirable to admit such as are
suffering from contagious or even cuta-
neous diseases, as no facilities are at hand
Tor their proper care.
I'm others the free wards may be over
crowded and several days must elapse be-
fore new applicant can be admitted, or
child may be suffering from neglect,
starvation and filth and require careful
nursing and the doors of the established
institutions perforce closed against it on
account of some disease as scarlet fever
raging within their walls.
1T is not the intention to antagonize or
supplant any established hospital or insti-
tuition. On the contrary it is hoped that
all such will open their doors for the poor,
neglected and distressed little charges OF
the society as freely in the future as they
have in the past.
THE prime object of this hospital and
home is to provide proper shelter aud care
for all little ones who may be sent from
the society for one or more days until
arrangements can be made for placing
them permanently in some established
hospital or institution.
with this object in view it is deemed
advisabl to secure i'll some healthy and
central locality small building which
can be utilized for the purpose.
'We desire to equip this building in the
proper manner, with cots and other neces-
sary furniture, small range, sufficient
supply of needful drugs, medicines, BAN
dages, etc. All this should be placed in
charge of not less than two competent
women, who for the present would be
nurse, housekeeper, cook and matron.
ITO accomplish our aim funds are re-
quired. and the entertainments given and
to be given by Mrs. John Pettee are for
the purpose of acquiring the needed
amount.
"At meeting tomorrow at 25O5
Leavenworth street the hall and pro-
gramme will be decided upon. ALI inter-
ested in the proposed enterprise are in
vited to attend"
