THE ONE-MILE LIMIT.
Mr.. Smith Will Make Mr.. YeaHer's
Application n Test Case.


Mr.. c. Maurice Smith, on behalf of a
number Of citizens residing near the Sol
diers' Home, today asked the District Com
missioners to instruct the excise board TO
place on file, with their decision In reject
ing the application for license to sell
liquor of Lewis j. Yeager, that it was be-
cause the house was within one mile Of
the Soldiers Home by lair line measure
ment.'' Mr.. Smith said 1t was the inten-
ton Of his client to make a test of the
question as to whether the "one-mile
limit in the law meant by the route usual
ly travelled or in an air line.
President Ross said he did not think that
the board of Commissioners had any super
vising power over the excise board.
Commits sioner Black asked Mr.. Smith If
any appointment for a hearing by the
Commissioners had been made by him, and
upon being informed that there had not,
said that he thought the question raised
brought before Commissioner Wight, in
whose department it was. and II his de-
c.sion was not satisfactory to Mr.. Smith
and his clients, an appeal could be made
to the board.
President Ross suggested that Mr.. Smith
be allowed to make statement of the
matter, which was granted, and the latter
did, and the board took the question under
advisement.
After the adjournment of the board Capt.
| there was disposition on his part to
abridse the rights of any citizen, but he
did not think the time Of the board ought
! to be taken up With questions that could be
settled by the Commissioner who had juris-
| diction in the case, but that when This
could not be done then he was will
| ing to have all such matters brought to the
| attention Of the board.

very lively meeting of those who are

Gordon to the state senate was held last
evening at the George Washington House,
Bladensburg. Many prominent republicans
from the surrounding country were pres

]. A. Blundon called the meeting to order
and then yielded the chair TO c. H. Daley
of Bladensburg, who was selected to pre-
side during the evening. Animated speech
es were made by Messrs. Harry Fowler,
Ferdinand Hall, Burchheld and H. o. En-
mons.
During the course of the latter's address
George Mcfarland. one of Captain Cor
dcns stanch supporters, took exceptions to
some of the speakers declara tons, and
proceeded to score Emmons in very forcble
terms A good deal of confusion ensued
and for time it looked as If free fight
was about to take place.
Mcfarland charged Emmons with false
hood and divers other infractions of the
moral code. Friends of both parties inter-
vened, and order was restored. Mcfarland
was Immediately arrested and fined, and
the meeting then proceeded without fur

The Case of Rev. Mr.. Williams

To the Iditor Of Tie Evening Star:
In all fairness. let judgment in this csse
he suspended until the facts shall be proved.
The shocking charges thus far have nv no
means been proved. They are as solemnly
denied by Mr.. Williams as they are affirm
ed by the other party. In this position of
affairs We cannot understand how the
standing committee of the diocese of Wash
ington could. directly or Indirectly, have
given out any such Information as could
justify the article in The Star or warrant
the inference that the charges had been
proved. As We understand it, the iuty of
the committee was to report their finding
TO the bishop, and to the bishop Dry
Then ii was for the bishop to decide
whether the facts called for any fur; her
action 1t is quite conceivable that they
might not do 50. The facts are not all before
the committee. But should they seem to
the bishop to demand further inquiry. he
would then lay them before the ecclesiasti-
cal court, and the case would be fairly
opened. As 1t is, somebody has taken a
very grave responsibility, and possibly
done a most cruel wrong. Let Judgment be
suspended TIL both sides shall have been
heard. JUSTICE

PASTOR TRANSFERRED.
Father Tenrney of West Falls Church
Becomes Vicar General.

Rev. E. NJ. Tearney, for more than four
years pastor of ST. James Catholic Church.
West Falls Church, Va, has been trans
ferred TO Richmond. as vicar general of the
diocese and rector of the cathedral.
This announcement, made after service
last Sunday, produced profound and heart
felt sorrow among the members Of his con-
gregation, to whom he has become indi-
vidually endeared, not only because of his
jealous priestly services among them, but
because of his high qualities and attain
ments a man and citizen.
Not content with a merely general in
terest I'm his parishioners and his neighbor-
hood, he has fulfilled all the duties Of life
with a singlcness of purpose which could
but leave a lasting impression for good. An
upright Christian gentleman, he will honor
the position to which he Is called as such
men always must when hidden to come up
higher"

WANTS TO QUIT BUSINESS.
stephen Ford Brings Suit to Wind I'm
PartnerShfn,

Stephen S. Ford today filed a bill in
equity against George w. Kinley, raging
that the partnership existing between them
in the saloon business 433 Sd street south
west, be dissolved.
Mr. Ford also prays that receiver be
appointed to take possession of the bust
ness and conduct or dispose of it; that
the partnership accounts be referred to
the auditor OF the court for the purpose of
determining the interest Of each member
of the firm, and properly distributing the
assets, and that meantime the defendant
be enjoined from interfering in any way
with the business and from removing any
of the goods and chattels from the prem
ises.
The complainant says that the partner
ship was entered into May %. 1897, and
he claims that he was misled by the de-
PENDANT in several Instances, and also
claims that while the receipts have been
daily equally divided, TIE defendant has
rot observed the partnership agreement.
The complainant is represented by Attor-
neys Darr and Leckie.

Value of Architectural Competition.

Value of Architectural Competition.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your editorial concerning the arch'tec-
ture of our public schools and the method
of improving 1t in future buildings was
certainly most timely. In nearly every
architectural and engineering magazine
ore sees notices inviting competitive de-
signs for school houses, hospitals, libra
ries bridges, ETC., and the hVe structures
resulting therefrom are silent witnesses to
the wisdom of this method. One has but
to glance at the noble steel arch spanning
the Harlem river New York city, and
known as the washington bridge, and re-
member that the design (by the famous en-
gineer, C. c. Schneider) was selected from
q dozen or so designs to be ever after
champion of the system.
In the last District appropriation bill is
an item giving $1,000 with authority to
the District Commissioners for them to
obtain by competition or otherwise 4"
plans for a bridge across the Rock Creek
valley on the line of Connecticut avenue
extended, our most important suburban
avenue The intention Of the trainers was
unquestionably to obtain a bridge of such
architectural as well as engineering worth
as to render it suitable for the magnificent
avenue, the noble valley (Which will some
day all be incorI GRATED in our park sys-
| tenn, let US hope) and for the capital Of
| this nation, SO woefully deficient in decent
| bridges.
Here is an excellent opportunity for the
| Commissioners to try what has been Sc
eminently successful ,elsewhere-to allow
all the engineers so 'idesirfng to present
plans and estimates. Then when Con-
gress finally approprfates the money for
| building the bridge the plan declared the
| most worthy byoca competent commission
cali be distributed to the bridge COM
panies for their bids. In this way plans
| with more architectural merit than If a
| limited number of bridge companies were
| asked to presentdplans would probably be
| obtained, the ocmrauies relieved of the
| labor Of making plans with possibly no
| compensation and the engineers through
out the country satisfied. CITIZEN
