Against Telephone Extension.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
We are now in the midst of one of our
periodical merry wars against municipal
monopoly. This time it is the telephone
monopoly For 10 these many years our
telephone users have suffered the burden
Of extortionate charges, without cutlery.
They know that many cities of the land
are furnished with equally good service
for one-half the price charged here or less.
They know that rival company is now
seeking a franchise from Congress, agree
ing to reduce the present prices more than
one-half. Therefore, they know that the
company in possession could do the same
But they know also that moEopolies do
not voluntarily relinquish their extraor-
binary profits. That is not the nature of
the creature. Another thing, however,
that our telephone users know is that
there is a power and authority to which
even a municipal monopoly is subservient;
that it must use the streets and public
spaces over which this power is supreme;
that its franchise is given by this power;
that the monopoly lives and moves and
makes it's eXactions by the will OF this
power; that this power gave, and can take
away, can modify, restrict or totally re-
peal all privileges granted; can prescribe
maximum rates, prohibit annoying limita-
tons the of instruments. In other
words, it can give such relief as to make
public-spirited citizen or columns of edi-
torial remonstrance by The Star.
Now, the question is, why don't those
interested, or a dozen of them, call a mass
meeting, which could appoint committee
to wait upon the House and Senate Dis
trict committees and ask for the relief
which Congress can give?
Does any one suggest the possibility that
such a demand would not be regarded?
Suppose-though, that Is violent sup
position in the face of the well-known OPP
position Of all congressman to every form
of monopoly C)-suppose such a demand
should be disregarded? What then? Why,
only that 1t could not be done in a cor
ner, but must be done openly. Some mem
bers must actively oppose. I will not in
suit the intelligence of the victims by spe-
officially pointing out the remedy. They
have it in their own hands. Will they
help themselves, or will they supinely
suffer.

Road Improvement.
-or of The Evening Star:

~ INC i<ui'of VI Inc Evening Stir.
In The Evening Star Saturday, Febru-
airy 0, 1888, appeared an article, entitled
Roadside Tree Planting" from the Provi-
dence Journal. The theories therein add
vanced outside of identifying the country,
are mischievous, and would be injurious
rather than a benefit to roads. Hedges
aicng roads might be allowed, where the
variety in use did not have any great
spread OF root since the hedge, as well as
trees Will push roots into the most solidly
build roadbed, not only causing inequali-
ties then, but ever-varying until their de-
cay, finally leaving depression where was
a former elevation or, worse still. leaving
many little ducts for the reception and
retention of surface drainage.
Any one acquainted with piece of road
any length Of time will have observed that
after a rain certain places remain muddy
long after the road is again we'll dry. The
nature of the soil has much to do with
TINS, but 1t will be found almost invariably
that In that place shade of trees is the
cause OF the bad place. Macadam will
remedy muddy road, but perfect cure
involves the removal of the overshadowing
trees.
Practical road-makers, through the legise
latures of their several states, have had
laws enacted making it the duty of super
visors of roads to remove all treas on each
side or all roads in their districts within a
given distance, discouraging. instead of en-
ccCraging. the planting OF trees in the
vicinity or highways. d. F. COLEMAN.

FREEDMANs BANK DEPOsITORs.
Mass Meeting Considers Their Claim
and Adopts Resolutions.


and Adopts Resolutions.
A largely-attended mass meeting Of the
depositors of the Freedman's Savings and
Trust Company was held Monday night at
the Shiloh Baptist Church, and presided over
by the Rev. ]. Anderson Taylor. Giles B.
Jackson, the Richmond lawyer who is gen.
eral counsel for the depositors, outlined the
work he had done in their behalf and urged
each depositor to take an individual in
terest in the matter and to exert individual
effort in behalf Of the passage by Congress
of the bills introduced by Senator Daniel
of Virginia and Representative Lamb of
the same state for the reimbursement of
the creditors of the Freedman's Bank. A
resolution was adopted which Iecited that
there were 81 ,131 depositors in the Freed
mans Savings and Trust Company at the
time of it's failure, 90 per cent of whom
were colored people just emancipated from
slavery, comparatively ignorant of govern
mental principle, and relying exclusively
upon others for counsel and advice. They
were advised to deposit their earnings In
the bank, being represented that the gov
eminent of the United States was response
BILE to them for the safety of the deposit.
In the year of 1874 the Freedman's Savings
and Trust Company failed and closed its
doors to its depositors. The depositorS Pc
titioned Congress for relief and several
dividends were declared in favor of the de-
poSltorS, amounting 10 oA per cent, put d
number of depositors have failed to receive
anything whatever. Still believing in the
good faith of the government, 1t was then
resolved that the efforts of Giles B. Jack
son and his associates were commended,
and that the aid of the administration be
asked, to the end that an appropriation be
made to discharge and pay off every dollar
of the money now due upon the claims of
the said depositors. The resolution also
commended the depositors of Richmond for
the part they have taken in appointing
counsel to bring the cause before Congress.

LAW GOVERNING SALOONS
Recent Decision by Court of Appeals as to
Sunday Privileges.
Opinion of an Attorney That Scopc of
Courts Deliverance.

The decision of the Court of Appeals in
the liquor case of Michael ]. Hannah last
week. as published in The Star at the time,
is of as much Importance to the LIQUOR
dealers as it is interesting to the temper
ance advocates. When the decision was
first announced some of the dealers had an
idea 1t was a loophole for Sunday viola
lions of the law, but member of the bar
interested in the case said to a Star re-
porter today that such was not the case.
The facts were cited by the court as fol-
lows:
1T appears that about II o'clock the
night of Sunday, October "a, 1897, two me
were seen by a policeman to enter the
room of the plaintiff in error through =
front door of the house. The policeluan
went to the back part Of the premises and
from thence entered the house, and, with
the permission of the plaintiff in error, he
searched the house, but found no one but
the plaintiff in error and his bartender
therein; that the rear door leading into the
bar room was open and also the front
door, and was told that that was the only
way in which he could enter; that the rear
part of the place was bolted and the door
chained; that the rear part Of the build
ing was in very difapiGated condition,
and the yard was open, and no inclosure
surrounded the place: that there was no
other possible way of entering the house;
that there was no conceament about the
matteS that any one walking along the
sidewalk could look into the bar room, the
gas being lighted"
The Conclusions.
Chief Justice Alvey, in delivering the
opinion. after commenting on the law and
the facts, concluded:
THE fact that there was no other way
by which the inmates. the parties living
and residing in the house, could get i'll or
room in which the bar was located, requires
such reasonable construction as will en-
able the parties to exercise the ordinary
privilege of householdeFs-that is, the right
of ingress or egress; and the mere opening
Of the door to allow the exercise of such
privilege does not constitute, within the
meaning of the statute, a failure to keep
the bar room closed. If, Indeed it had been
shown that the door was opened or any
other way provided by which even a single
individual could have procured liquor from
the bar on Sunday the statute would have
been held to have been violated and the
proprietor would be liable to punishment
But no such case has been shown"
No New Privileges.
Speaking of the decision to a Star re-
porter this morning, a local attorney said
that under the ruling of the court keep
ers of saloons will have to be just as care
full as they were before. The decision in
effect, he said, gives the owner of a saloon
the privilege of going through his saloon
on Sunday when there is no other way of
getting into his house. He said he thought
even this would not be permitted in the
future, for he felt satisfied that the excise
board Will not grant licenses where the
saloon has to be used as a passageway.
