BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is a bona nde one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell Its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adver.
tisers. by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstands. which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be. an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star is
many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper. and is be-
lieved to be fully five times that Of

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT,

AT the next session OF Congress the Com
missioners will make an effort to have a
bill passed giving them authority to take
down dangerous walls where the owner Of
the same refuses to do 1t, and charge the
same against the property.
This legislation is sought for the purpose
of giving the Commissioners power to act
when the exigencies of the case require it.
1t is the result Of one of the lessons taught
by the late disastrous storm. In several
sections of the city dangerous walls ex-
listed which should have been taken down.
The owners Of several Of them were nom
residents, and their agents did not like to
take the responsibility of allowing the
walls to be taken down. The Commission
ers were without power to do the work
themselves, although 1t was evident that
the walls were dangerous and should pe
taken down at once.
These matters were presented to the
Commissioners in forcible manner at the
time, and they saw at once the Importance
OF the matter; and so they decided to rem
edy the defect in the law, If possible, by
securing the passage of a bill under au-
thority of which they would be in a posi-
ton to order down any dangerous wall or
building, and If the owner thereof refused
to obey the order, to step In and do the.
work. and charge the cost thereof against
the property,

The Supreme Court Refuses to Interfere
in His Case.
The Supreme Court yesterday discharged
the writ of habeas corpus in the case OF
George E. White, the Mendocino County
cattle man, and remanded White to jail
for cortempt of court.
White sued his wife for divorce and was
ordered by Judge Hebbard to pay her $500
for maintenance pending the trial. He
pleaded poverty and advanced any num-
Der of reasons why he should not obey the
order of the court. Finally Judge Heb
bard, on June u, ordered White to be
committed to the County Jail for contempt
if he did not pay the money by the next
morning.
He failed to do so and was arrested on a
bench warrant and sent to the County
Jail. He secured a writ of habeas corpus
from Justice Beatty on Monday, but when
the matter was heard yesterday the court
decided that the commitment was legally
made out and that it was entirely within
the power of the Superior Court to COM
nit White for refusal to obey an order
while an action was pending; and accord
ingly remanded him to Jail.

statement that the suit is brought to
blackmail him. He says Miss Redmond
is encouraged by third parties to bring
the suit and try to get money out of him.
