ical idea of members of Congress, and We're
SO ambiguous and ill-conceived as to cause
much uncertainty and controversy. In 1874
these acts of Congress were collected to-

We're not improved and derived no virtue
from that circumstance.
Our laws, as whole may be said to be
half century behind those of the states
in their adaptation to modern business and
social conditions.
We need, in the first place, a very thor
ough reform in judicial proceedings, where
by needless delays and circuitous methods
NAY be avoided and prompt and eXpedi-
tious remedies administered. We need
more effective relief for creditors especial
ly against fraudulent debtors. Our system
of conveyancing should be simpiihed, and
the law of estates and titles divested of
mass of technicahties, the reasons of which
long ceased to exist. The law of marriage
and divorce needs Improvement and the
rights of married women need to be bet
ter defined. The law OF corporations ana es-
pecially the law as to foreign corporations
doing business in the District can be much
improved. The law as to the rights OF
landlord and tenant and the Hens of me-
chanics and others needs restatement. The
law of crimes and punishments needs over
hauling as well our criminal procedure.
The law of embezzlemelt should be ex
tended and all fiduciaries who betray their
trusts should be held to criminal RESPONSE
biiity There are numerous technicalities
in criminal practice which constantly cause
a denial of justice, and which have long
since been abolished in the states.
These changes are the objects which 1
have aimed at in preparing code. have
and have endeavored to clear UP obscuri-
ties in them and have added new features
borrowed from other codes. / have had be-

thirty years previously, which had accumu-
lated for generations, many of them bar
harous, long since wisely abrogated by the
states IN which they prevailed, but stin in
fierce in the District. The author adds
some specimens of these curious antiquatei
laws. Justice Cole and other judges at the
board NEE ing of 1875 demonstrated that
the District law was still museum of an

Arlington meeting of the board afterward

ought long since to have been introduced

Will be an Improvement upon the existing

able to have it enacted into law, even if
1t shall need to be amended afterwards
The only possible way of having this DONE

Distrlct Yours very respectfully,
WALTER S. cox.
October 20, 1898
This letter notes the completion of Judge
Cox's formidable task. ARRANGEMENTS have
been made by the board of trade and The
Bar Association jointly to print the pro-
posed code in order that ii may be exam
ihed and considered prior to its adoption
by the board and Bar Association, and the
urgent request for its enactment into law
by Congress.
Importance of CodfHcation.
No other legislation to be brought before
Congress al Its approaching session is so
important to the Districts welfare as this.
other bills propose alterations of or ad-
citiohs to particular statutes upon par
ucular points, but this codifcation goes.
over the entire body of local law, looping
OF what is obsolete or obsolescent, putting
in statute form court-made law, and i'm
proving and Strengthening generally the
laws by which We are goverened.
The old English statutes beaueathed to
Maryland were in turn handed down to the
District, and Congress. our exclusive legis-
lature under the Constitution. has not kept
our laws up to the mark of modern pro-
gressive legislation. Its enactments affect
ing the District have been often slipshod,
and always unsystematic. Complaint of
congressional inaction as our local IeSisla-
ture was made at an early date. Mr.. J.
Eliot in his Historical Sketches of the Ten
Miles Square, published in 1880, says that
no essential changes had been made in the
general laws or in their administration
since the cession of the District by Mary
land and Virginia, and that the citizens
were governed by laws as they existed

The Underground City.
Committees for intellectual and
Moral Development.

Another group of committees promote
prosperity by developing the city intel
iectuaily and morally, and by making it at
traCtive as an educational, artistic literary
and scientific center.
The committee on public schools reports
the partial success of it's recommendation
lndorsed at a public meeting of the board
OIL trade, OF an appropriation for two man.
ual training school buildings. Congress ap-
pIOprlated SoO,OUO for one building, with
which d site was purchased, and the Com
mlssionefs now ask of Congress an addi-
tlonal appropriation of $4,000 to complete
this building. An urgent appeal Is made
for an increase of school facilities SO that
no child within our borders shall be denied
or abridged in such facilities. The commit
tee urges an appropriation of $25,0OU to put
on a permanent basis the kindergarten in
stuctiOn which was initiated largely
through the efforts of members of the
board Of trade, by small appropriation at
the last session of Congress.
| will add that at the public meeting of
the board of trade last winter at which
public school matters were discussed ster-
eoptcon views contrasting the manual
training facilities of Washington with those
OF other cities were presented with excel
lent effect. This experiment was so sue
CesSful and the argument by Illustration is
nowadays so attractive and convincing that
ether committees of the board may at fu-
ture meetings reasonably resort to the
same means OF lnpreSSlnS some wholesome
line of thought wildly upon the public
mind.
Public Library.
In March, 1894, the board of trade unani-
mously and enthusiastically adopted the
report of its recently created committee on
public library. This document set forth
the important function as an educating and
civilizing agency of the tax-sustained circu-
lating library and reading room, accessible
at night and supplementng for children
and workingmen, the public school. 1t
said: What Carlyle sought for each Eng
lish county town, and what many English
and American villages now enjoy, the ma
uonai capital lacks and seeks to obtain

"Ponape. Caroline Islands,

October Z 1897
I'VE left Kusaie on September and
reached Ruk on September 10, early
in the morning. All the missionaries
on shore were we'll and Mrs. Logan
was very glad 10 see her daughter, MisS
Beu,ah Logan, again. The next day
Captain Bray was taken sick and was
a very sick man all day Sunday and Oh
Monday, Mr.. Price was sent for. II
was thought best to take him ashore,
so a bed was rugged up in our long
boat and we towed it in with the
launch. The captain grew rapidly
worse for a few days and we were
all very anxious about him. 1t was
two weeks to a day before he was re-
turned to the Star He seems all right
again.
ct was thought best to take the
Star on a tour through the Mortlock
Islands, so we took aboard Mr.. and
Mrs. Price, Miss Foss ard some natives,
among them Moses (the first mission
airy that Captain Berry landed here II
years ago.. and then left for Etal but
instead our first stopping place was
Lukunor. Here the natives and work
ers were al glad to see the Star.
I'VE made three or four stops in
this lagoon and then went on TO Sa-
toan. where we stayed short time,
stopping and holding services at three
or four stations. At many of these
stations we had to wade ashore and
oftentimes were wet up TO our knees.
We are now at work putting up the
girls room between decks so that
everything will be ready for the Mar
shall tour We are feeling stronger
than we have for years and every one
on board feels better physically, men
tally and spiritually for this trip. EV-
cry evening we gather around the cab
in table and hold services. The work
on all these Islands seems to be gain
ing and many are being won for the
Master. Henry Nanapi left for Ruk
the day we reached here from the
other side of the Island so we were
unable TO see him TO our great dis
appointment. The Spanish officials
here have been very kind and courte-
Gus to us and Mr.. Price has been
greatly pleased with their treatment
of him and the work on the Islands
Last evening we went up the river On
a picnic and one Of the lieutenants
Spanish went with us as our guest
l will try to send word from the Mar
shall group. Remember me to a.
friends. Captain and Mrs. Bray wish
to be remembered also.

''Kusaie, Caroline Islands,
August 81, 1897.
The first stopping pace after leav-
ing Honolulu was Apaiang, Gilbert ISL
ands. After going ashore at Apaiang
G. l., with our mail, we steamed away
for Kusaie, hoping that the wind
Grade winds) would grow stronger and
watt us there in four days or five at
the most, but it did not, and if we had
not steamed the last three days we
would have been on the way much
longer. We reached Kusaie on a
Thursday morning. BY $50 we were
working up to the Morning Star harbor,
surrounded by the station friends, DR.,
Rife being the first aboard We were
soon shaking hands with Mr.. Walkup,
Mr.. de la Porte Of the Pental mist
sion and Miss Wilson They all looked
we'll and hearty. The following day
we visited the Gilbert school and also
the Girls school, where English seIf
vices were held.
September Shorty after break
fast Captain Bray told us to get the
launch ready for trip around to South
harbor, and at $50 Captain Bray, First
Engineer Renear, Clarence Wiroff and
myself started, skirting along the reef
all the way. l wish I could give you
some idea of the scenery as We moved
along. On one side the Island, cover
ed from the tip OF the high ridges
down to the edge of the water with
green verdure, while on the other side
the open ocean. After dinner we took
the launch and went up a little river
which runs into that harbor. Here il
is even more beautiful if possible. Al
100 we started back for the Star and
although the water was rough, we die
not ship a drop OF water. Near the
station we crossed the reef and went
inside, but as the water was low and
the tide out we had to do some wading
but in a short time the water was high
enough to make quick time back tC
the Star. The following day we visit
ed Lea harbor, or Windward harbor
as it is sometimes called. Here We
unloaded some of our lumber and
freight. We expect to start tomorrow
for Ruk."
