RESPOND AT ONCE,
Veterans Apply for Enrolment in
First Regiment.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The printers ink was not dry upon the
paper containing my letter of yesterday,
proposing the organization of a regiment
of infantry to be rendered to the Presi-
dent in defense of the national honor. to
be composed of veterans of the regular
army" the National Guard, sons of Union
and confederate veterans, and others. be-
fore young. able-bodied ex-soldiers of the
regular army and others were asking to
have their names enrolled not waiting
even to read the letter to the end. 1t has
been said that there are companies of the
District National Guard anxious to be en-
rolled as companies. If So let them be re-
ported. The letter was written to ascer-
tain what could be done in that line, and
the proposition is flexible. We propose to
support the President and his administra-
ton, as well as the Congress of the United
States, without regard to parties, and hold
ourselves in readiness to fight for the stars
and stripes-"Old Glory'-in case of neces-
sity, and, if need be, die for them.
wish all could have seen the face of the
President yesterday when I touched his
arm as he came from his box at the Ma
tional Theater after the magnificent con-
cert by THE Women's String Orchestra"
of New York, given by the ladies' relief
committee. of which Mrs. Long, wife OF
the Secretary, Is president, for the relief of
the widows and orphans of sailors and ma
rines lost in the disaster to the u s, bat
tie ship Maine. I said to him: 1.-THE bows
are all with you, Mr.. President" His face
frightened, and he replied: IT know they
are. and thank them for it." AS the bows
say, He's all right and his heart is in
the right place.
War Is terrible, and 1t is to be hoped
there will be none, but IL there is the more
recent veterans of the regular army and
the National Guard, as well as the sons of
ex-Union and confederate veterans, will be
seen pressing to the front to secure place
in the ranks to serve Uncle Sam.
1t has been said that the spirit of '76 of
1917 and 1861 has passed from us, but /
believe there Is as much patriotism in
American blood as ever there was, and that
our army and navy will do credit to the
republic If there should be war;
In this connection let me suggest to the
citizens of Washington that Immediately
after the report of the naval court of in
curry as to the cause Of the explosion of
the mine that wrecked the battle shin
Maine and sent 238 gallant souls into eter-
nifty, has been made public every one hay-
Ing Flagstaff upon his residence or place
OF business should cause the stars and
stripe9-"Old Glory"-to be placed at the
truck.

toward the speedy organization of the ma

Maine Monument Fund.

There is every indication that the Column
b1a Theater will be crowded to the very
doors tomorrow afternoon on the occasion Of
the great vaudeville performance for the
benefit of the Maine memorial fund. From
the very moment when the sale of rescrv-
ed seats was begun yesterday morning
there has been a steady demand for tickets,
and 1t Is more than likely that the legend Of
standing room only will be seen in the
lobby of the house even before the per-
Iormdnce begins. This circumstance how
ever, is not remarkable when one consid RS
the unusually brilliant list of attractions
that are oHered by the committee having

Harlowe; May Irwin, the inimitable; Flo
IRWIN, her talented sister, and Walter

plated quartet Of the "Tennessee's Part

Lever before has been seen together on any
stage in this city. Manager Luckett of the
Columbia and Mr.. Ed B. Hay, the secretary
OF the local committee, have been indefat-
igable in their endeavors to perfect a thor
oughly enjoyable program, and it is safe to
predict that the result will show that they
have been eminently successful.
AS for the concert to be given for the
same purpose at the Grand Opera House
Sunday night, it is no exaggeration to as
sert that 1t will rank among the very best
ever presented to Washington audience
The forces contributing to it have been So
lected from among the very best in the
city. The Marine Band, under its new
leader, Prof. w. H. Santelmann who will
make his public de but in this capacity, will
be heard in three beautiful numbers; the
National Guard Brigade Band will play
twice, and its n any friends predict for II
an artistic triumph, and the Madrid Man
dolin Banjo and Guitar Club will render
some of the choicest selections from it's
repertoire. The songs of the fatherland
will be sung by the Saengerbund, the Ger
mania MaenEerchor and the Arion, and the
mere announcement will be sufficient TO
bring our German friends out in force
Then there is a brilliant constellation of
soloists, both vocal and instrumental. Of
the latter there will be Mr.. Henry Jaeger
who, upon this occasion, will use his mag
innocent golden flute, superb, sweet-toned
Instrument; Mr.. Sol Minister jr.. the IA
vorite viclinist, and Mr.. Arthur d. Mayo,
the accomplished pianist. Of singers thers
will be Mrs. Kittie Thompson-Berry Miss
blanche E. Muir, Mr. w. d. Mcfarland and
Mr.. Otto Luebkert, and Mr.. Henry Xander

The program is rich in classical and popu-
lar numbers.
The sale of reserved seats opened this
morning and the inceSSant apple atoms for
them all day give promise that the seating
capacity of the large auditorium will be
taxed to its fullest capacity.

PROPOSED ENDOWMENT
Movement to Create Permanent Funt
for Epiphnny Parish.

for Epiphany Parish.
Efforts are being made to endow the
Protestant Episcopal parish of the Epiph-
any. The reason for this as stated by
those H. authority, is that the Church of
the Epiphany may become financially
weakened by the movement of the perma-
nent population northward and westward
and by the building of new churches in
the newer parts of the city. The vestry of
the church feel an obligation resting upon
them, 1t is said, of making provision for
that event, should it come so that the
work now being conducted by the church
may be continued and enlarged as the city
increases population. In order to bring
about the desired result a number of the
leading members of the church have asso-
c1ated themselves together for the purpose
or creating an endowment fund for the
parish by contributions or legacies. or

ested in this are Gen. James Longstreet.

Kim, Henry B. Noble, John T. Armes
General John G. Parke and a number of
ladies.
Since 1890 the members of the parish. II
is said, have raised a large sum of money
Tor various church enterprises The most
recent was in 1895, when they made a con-
trfbution of about $4,000 for the endow-
ment of the diocese of Washington In 1880
they raised $4,000 for q lot for the future
mission house and chapel in South Wash

proved and remodeled at a cost of 100000
Inc Following year they built the mission
house, at a cost of $4,000 and the Same

THE CORCORAN ESTATE.
Property Transferred to Control of
the Heirs.

A deed has been placed on record by
which William Corcoran Hill and Thomas
Hitchcock trustees of the estate of the
late W. W. Corcoran, transfer to w. c.
Eustis. Geo. P. Erstis and Mrs. Louise E.
Hitchcock the real estate owned by the
late Mr.. Corcoran in this District, and the
interest ir the estate of which he died
seized.
This action was taken in accordance with
the will of Mr.. Corcoran, who left practi-
cally his entire estate to two trustees in
trust for a period Of ten years. The will
provided that upon the expiration of this
period, which occurred the latter part of
last month, the property thus controlled
by the trustees should be conveyed to the
heirs as tenants in common. BY the deed
above referred to the trustees have now
compiled with the wishes of the decedenr.
ard the title to a good deal of real estate
in various parts of the District is vested in
the heirs.
1t is estimated the value of the estate
is between three and four millions CT dol
lars. There is quite a number of separate
pieces in various parts of the city and be-
yond the city limits. of which the most
notable are the following: The Corcoran
building, Pennsylvania avenue and 18th
street: the Arlington Hotel. Vermont ave-
nue. and II street: the residence Connect
cut avenue and Fl street, occupied for so
many years by Mr.. Corcoran: the house
adjoining on H street, where Secretary La
mont lived during the last administration.
The estate also owns the property adjoining
the building occupied by the Riggs Ma
tional Bank. At the time of Mr.. Corcoran's
death the entire piece of property, includ-
ing the bank building. with frontages on
the avenue and 18th street, was owned in
common by Mr.. Corcoran and the heirs of
the late George w. Riggs. A few years
ago. however, a division was effected. the
Riggs estate taking the bank building and
the Corcoran estate the property on each
side.
The heirs are now in the city and, 1t is
understood, it is the purpose to make
division of the property and place the title
to the various pieces in the individual
heirs, according to the terms of such agree
ment.
Both of the trustees named in the will
Anthony Hyde and Charles NJ. Matthews
died several years ago. The former, who
was for many years Mr.. Corcoran's conf
Dental secretary and business assistant
passed away not long after the death of
Mr. Corcoran- In his place Mr.. William
Ccrcoran Hill. a nephew of the testator,
was appointed, as requested in the will in
the event of the death of either of the
trustees

suggestion for Posting on Each
Notice to the Public.
Commissioner Wight today requested Mr.
Miles, the superintendent of the District
telegraph and telephone system, to give
him the number of fire alarm boxes now
without keys in the doors. Mr.. Wight also
asked to be informed to the probable
cost for placing signs on each box without
a key in the door indicating to the public
whele key could be found, and what pro.
portion Of such cost, If any, his (Miles)
department could pay for such signs.
The action of Mr. Wight was taken be.
cause of a suggestion recently made by
Mr.. Fred. S. Newman to the effect that
the general public is unaware of the places
where keys to fire alarm boxes are kept
and suggested the idea of posting the no.
tice. If it is possible to do this with the
limited funds available it Is understood

AMEND THE BILL.
Changes Suggested by Commissfonel
I'm Belt Railway Legislation.

OMaMSCD SukBCDtC0 w OO"mIBBIOnCEU
I'm Belt Railway Legislation.
The District Commissioners today sub
mitted to Chairman Babcock Of the House
District committee a report on House bill
S541, ITO define the rights Of purchasers Of
the Belt railway. and for other purposes"
The Commissioners recommended striking
from the bill the words: land the right to
acquire, by purchase or lease. the property
ard franchises OF any other corporation
operating a strset railroad within the Dis
trict CT Columbia" 1t is not believed by
the Commissioners to be advisable to grant
any definite authority for the consolidation
OF street railway companies. They think
this clause IL allowed to remain, would
authorize the gradual consolidation Of other
street car lines now,or hereafter to be, char
tered by Congress, and they say If 1t Is
deemed proper to allow the consolidation
of certain lines, they believe such authority
should be specific in each case.
Referring to line 50 Of the bill. where it
Is stated that the underground electric
system is to bs put in upon The entire line
of the Belt railway, las now constructed"
the Commissioners recommend that the
phrase quoted be stricken out, as it would,
In their opinion, operate to prevent any
slight modification of thu route or other
minor changes which could be made great
ly to the interest of the public. TO give
authority for such changes, the Commits
added at the end OF line So:
And said Commissioners are hereby
authorized to require suca slight changes
OF route or widening of streets as may be
necessary to afford full aud free driveways
along the streets occupied by said railway,
the entire expense Of Sucl widening Of
streets and all expenses incident thereto to
be borne by said railway company"
Calling attention to the fact that the bill
provides no penalty in the event that the
purchaser Of the Belt Railway Company
fails to put in an underground system SINH
lar to that used by the Metropolitan Rail-
road Company, the Commissioners recon-
mend that the following section lie in
serted:
Section 2. That on and after one year
from the purchase Of thu Belt railway, as
authorized by this act, the purchaser there
OF shall pay to the District of Columbia, in
ADDITION to all other taxes now required to
be paid by said Belt Railway Company, an
annual tax OF 500 for each and every car
operated by horses on said Belt railway
The Commissioners also recommend that
the following sections be added:
Section 3. That the company or corpora
ton installing an underground electric sys-
tenn under authority of this &C. shall de-
posit such sum or sums as the Commits
s1onsrs may require to cover the cost of
District inspection and the COSTS of changes
to public works in the streets.
Section 4. That unless the authority
hereby conferred is made use of within one
year from the date hereof, this act shall be
null and vold, and that section two be
changed to section five.
With these amendments the Commission
erS state they see no objection to tn. pas
sage of the bill.
