CONFERENCE REPORT REJECTED.
Pensions for Widows of Officers to
He Limited

BY the very decisive vote of SO to %
the House yesterday affirmed its inten-
ton TO abide by the policy of limiting
pensions for widows of general officers to
500 a month and grading from that sum
down for widows of officers OF lower rank.
The question arose over the report of con-
ferecs upon the bill TO pension the widow
Of Capt J. Scott Payne, OF the Fifth
United States Cavalry. 1t was q Senate
bill, and the amount OF pension was origi-
ually fixed at $50 a month. The House
reduced it to $50, but in conference the
House managers yielded to the Senators
and recomm ended that the House recede
from its amendment This the House re-
fused to do, after an hours debate, in
which the matter was fully discussed. and
by the vote stated the bill was returned TO
the Conferees.
The conference report on the legislative
executive end judicial appropriation bill,
presented by MI Bingham, was agreed to.
The principal changes made were in the
provisions for the Congressional Library.
AS agreed upon the bill authorizes the
President to appoint librarian and super
inteDdent, who must be confirmed by the
Senate; shall'receive $4,000 year each,
ana appoint tne SubOruillates IN lnSlr le-
spective departments -1S7 all told. The
bin carries total appropriation of S21,-

The bill enacting that all reservoir sites
reserved or to be reserved shall be open

debated two hours and passed. Amend
ments were agreed TO giving the States
contro! of the rates and regulations for
the use of water coming from the reser-
voirs.
The House entered upon consideration OF
the contested election case of Hopkins VS..
Kendall from the Tenth Kentucky dis
trict, based upon the use of an Illegal and
fraudulent ballot, in Clark county. With
out the vote of that county Hopkins, Re-
publican, would be elected, and the mi
noriUy recommended that it be thrown out
and the contestant seated. The majority
of the committee, while condemning the
action of the clerk of the county, who
prepared the ballot, do not believe that
the vote should be rejected and recon-
mended that Kendall retain his seat

OBJECTION TO THE BILL.
The Washington and Gettysburg
Road VIII Have Opposition

The Washington and Gettysburg Railway
bill is sure to find it a rocky road travel
ing through the Senate District Commit
tee. The members of the committee are
undoubtedly hostile to the measure in its
present form. There are many arguments
made to the committee by persons who live
near the city along the line OF the road
who desire il as an outlet To the capital
But there are some serious objections. One
of the most important is the protest made
by some veterans OF Gettyburg who are
opposed to what they call the vandalism
necessary to give the road entry to tie
Gettysburg grounds. Gen Sickles and
others have Indignantly protested against
the changes necessary in the landscape of
some portions of the park to accommodate
the road. These gentlemen hope to make
the preservation Of the present landscape
a condition precedent to the admission OF
the road within the District limits. Most
IF the local Grand Army posts, however,
favor the road, because they desire easy
access TO the battlefield.

THE TRANs-SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
It's Completion VIII BE an Impor-
tant Event

Consul Monaghan, in a report to the State
Department from Chemnitz, declares that
the completion Of the trans Siberian railway
by Russia, will be IN event hardly less inl-
porta mt than the cutting of the Suez Canal
and says Germany looks longingly forward
10 the time when fast trains are To run
from Calais TO Vladivostock
Five thousand miles OF steel rails have
beenlaid already at cost OF $50 900 coo
rubles. July /, 1904, it is Thought, will
see iron horses running from the shores of
the north TO those of the Japan Sea. Next
year trains are to run over the Siberian
road to the Amoor River. Thence by fast
steamer, passengers, post parcels, and
freightare to be pushed on to Che borrow ka;
thence in eighteen hours, over the South
Russian section of the Siberian road, to
vladivostock, ,makingthe distance from Lon
don to the most important harbor of the
Japan Sea seventeen and a half days.
Many OF the wares that come and GO by
boat now Will find their way over land
on these lines. Before 1901, Russia will
have cut her way with steel rails across
Manchuria, saving 800 miles. 1t is esti
mated by German engineers that when the
road is repaired, after the first few years,
and high rates Of speed across Siberia
are attained, the entire trip Will be made
in nine days and two hours.

NEwSBOYS MUST NOT CRY.
The Sunday Ordinance Sustained by
Judge Kimball.

Judge kimball yesterday morning rem
dered decision in the eases Of the news
boys arrested for crying their papers on
Sunday, who were tried in the police court
last Saturday. He said:
The decision in these newshOys' cases
cannot be influenced by sentiment or any
thing of that kind, but must be determined
entirely 10y the question OF law In this
l must be guided entirely by a decision
recently promulgated 10y tie 6ourt OF ap-
peals in Nv o cases which in point Of law
are precisely identical with The one now
before us.
Il am, therefore, compelled to decide
that the ordinance issued by the Distsiet
Commissioners prohibiting the crying OF
new spapers on Sunday is within the
power of their office, and is a perfectly
legal order, and is one which this court Is
bound To sustain
Major Darlington moved, for the de
PENDANTS. that sentence be postponed until
Friday. by that time. your honor" bs
said, my colleague, Gen. Brney, and
myself will be enabled To produce the de-
PENDANTS, and will also have decided
whether TO carry the case TO the upper court
on habeas corpus proceedings or not. The
little fellows, in any event, could not pay
their fines, and would wish topreventt their
incarceration.
Sentence was therefore suspended until
Friday.
Its probable that the habeaS corpus pro

and tile case carried TO the upper courts.
But if it is decided To Aide by Judge

courts Of cOmmOnlew, cannot he permitted
TO weigh at all, as Congress usedthe express
sion most readily inteIligibIe TO the mine
and 10 the court Of a justice of the peace"
Justice Morris holds that there is no
constitutional inhibition that prevents Con
gTess from providing common law Jury
for the courts OF the justices OF the peace
The act OF 1928 is upheld and declared TO
he valid, and is construed as providing
common law jury trial before justices Of
the peace. The court goes further, and
holds that the clause OF the seventh amend
ment, saying no fact tried by jury shall
be otherwise re-examined IN any court OF
the United states than according 10 the
rules Of the common law, - preciudes any
appeal from the Judgment OF the justice
in any case tried belo.e him under the act
of 1923.
Chief Justice Alvey in dissenting saws
"A justice of the peace appointed for this
District was recognized and defined by thG
Supreme Court as an office OF the govern
ment of the United states. 1t is very clear,
however, that justice OF the peace in this
district is not a judicial officer within the
meaning or contemplation OF the Constitu-
ton OF the United States He is not q
judge OF a tribunal inferior 10 the Supreme
Court, within the meaning OF the COnstit,t
ton he i not judge inany constitutional
sense, his proceedings are not according TO
the course OF the common law, and ara
not matter OF record, according 10 the
meaning given by the common law"
Referring to whether or not the Justice
of the peace jury is a common law Jury,
the chief Justice recites the seventh amend
ment Of the Constitution, and says; This
was simply preserving the common law
right " trial by jury, and ali the suhstan-
tial incidents belonging thereto, withOus
the power OF Congress 20 violate or impair
that right This common law jury 10
held to be different from other iuries, and
for the trial of suits at the common law
Justice Alvey declares that the Jury pro-
vided for by the act OF SD is not a COM
mon law jury in any proper sense or the
term.
He asserts that a common law jury only
decides matters of fact. and must be IN
der the direction and subject To the control
of Judge or court Of record. without such
Judge or eourt of record a common law jury
cannot perform It's functions, and. as q
justice Of the peace is not a Judge within
the meaning OF the Constitution, or bis
court a court of record, jury before him
cannot be held to mean a common law jury.
The case will be appealed to the Supens
Court of the United tSates.

ing Land for It.
The report Of the Senate Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, setting apart
q plot OF ground in this city for memorial
purposes of the National Society of Daush-
ters OF the American Revolution, is made
by Senator Gear. Tie bin provides that a
piece of land at the northeast corner OF
the Monument Lot, goo feet square, be
devoted to this purpose.
In the language of Senator Gears re-
port here the towering monument to the
Father OF his Country viii times cast
ITS protecting shadow over the memorial
proposed to be erected by the followers of
the greatlCader, andwhere thtUgether, in
beautiful unison, will serve to keep green
the memory OF the Fathers OF the Re
public.
The city is full OF memorials to the
men who saved the nation, but It has
few to the men who made it. Tie ladies'
propose to erect a memorial continental
hall, and have set systematically about
raising building fund for this purpose.
The idea was first suggested by the late
Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison wife of
President Harrison, and the first president
general of the society, and has been ap-
proved by successive national congresses
of the society, and a special building com
mittee has been appointed to carry into
execution the project
They purpose to make this building "a
veritable temple of fame, not alonein honor
OF the wonderful men and women who es-
tablished our great nation, but also of
the enterprise, capacity and public Spir-
1t of their female descendants who shall
erect It. They intend to make II in archi-

The bill adds something more tina $500 900
to the annual expenditures, although it is
generally admitted that the salaries thus
increased are now inadequate, and much
lower tina those paid for the same char
acter of clerical work In other branhces of
the government, while no account Is taken
OF the dangers of life and limb that menace
the faithful service in the railway mail
