TELEPHONES ORDERED OUT.
Action of Mr.. o. G. Staples-A Pros.
pecffve- Combination.

From the Riggs Willard and National
hotels, which are managed by Mr. o. q.
Staples, the telephone company has been
ordered to remove the telephones. A notice
has been posted which reads as follows
THE telephone company having refused
our guests the use of the Instruments, we
have ordered the same removed from the
premises. All are requested to. use the
messenger service provided. Call upon ap-
plication at the Office"
This action is, as stated above the re-
suit of the refusal of the telephone COM
pany to allow the guests of the hotel to
use the telephone. The representative of
the company, in converse ZION with Mr.. De
Witt, the manager of Wizards, said they
would not authorize what is termed an I'M
limited use of the telephone for thousand
dollars year. Mr.. De Witt said that no.
tells have very little use for telephones, the
principal object in having them being the
convenience of the guests. AS the COM
pany refused to allow those stopping at the
hotels to use the phones, Mr.. Staples con-
clrded to do without them. In most of the
other hotels there is a pay service.
As stated in The Star several DAYS ago,
the druggists of the city will probably
take united action in regard to the Use of
the telephone, and in the event the rates
are not reduced by Congress, the various
druggists. it is proposed, will order the dis
continuance of the service.
MI he witt SAID today that an effort in
all probability would be made to secure
united action on the part of men engaged
in various lines of business. For example.
he said, 1t was pro posed to ask the market
men VINO now have telephones to combine
in the movement to do without the instru-
n:ents unless reduction is made in the
present rates. 1t is believed by Mr. De
Witt that by combining forces it will be
possible to induce the company to consider
the matter. At least, the telephone COM
peny will be given an opportunity, he
thinks. to either modify the present tariff
or to face the possibility of a great falling
off in the business.
1t is thought by some business men that
the company should popularize the use of
the telephone instead of apparently en-
deavoring to limit its use. Under the pres
ent rates, it is claimed, practically only the
wealthy can afford to have a telephone. 1t
is said a great many would like TO have
phone at their hones, but the tariff of
500 a year or more is greater than a ma
jority of people feel they are able to pay
for such a convenience. 1t is said Il the
rates were more reasonable that thousands
of telephones would be in where there
Is now only one. Cases are cited where
in sections of the country there are rea-
sonable telephone rates these instru-
ments are found in many houses, indicating
that the charges are such as to bring this
convenience within the reach of people of
Moderate means.

THE COMMISSIONERS VIEWS.
Report ON Bills Pending for Acquisi
ton Of Land.

Report ON Bills Pending for AcQuisi-
tion of Land.
The District Commissioners today sub
mitted to Congress a report on Senate bill
34S5 and House bill 7347, authorizing the
acquisition of certain lands in Woodley
Park, an addition to the Geological Park,
in exchange for the interest OF the United
States in certain land north of w street
between 18th and 10th, south of block 2.
Meridian Hill subdivision. The piece of
property to be given by Mr.. Waggaman.
the Commissioners say. contains about
100000 square feet, worth about 30 cents a
foot, or 10000. The, tract proposed to be
released by the United States contains
about q 200 square feet, worth at least, the
Commissioners state, $l.50 square foot, or
$34, 500.
The piece of land at the junction Of 10th
street and Florida avenue the Commits
sioners consider of no special value to the
United States, enough having been retained
to give full width to w street. The land
proposed to be exchanged for it. the Com
missioners believe, would be a valuable
acquisition to the Geological Park author
tiles. But as 1t belongs to the United States
it might, the Commissioners think, be ad-
visable to obtain the opinion Of the United
States authorities as well az those OF the
Zoo authorities.on the subject.

CORONER's INQUEST.
Investigation of Murder Committed
by Persons Unknown.

Investigation of Murder Committed
by Persons Unknown.
Coroner Carr held an inquest at the third
precinct police station this afternoon in
the case of the colored male infant found a
week ago at the basement door of the
house of Mrs. Tally No. 1911 street
northwest as published in The Star at the
time Detectives Weldon and Lacy and
Precinct Detective McGlue, who have been
investigating the case, were present at the
inquest. The baby, as published at the time
of the autopsy, had been strangled, and
was left at the door Of Mrs. Talty's house
in a neatly wrapped bundle. A colored wo-
man was seen to leave the bundle at the
door and afterward go away with colored
man.
The autopsy showed that the child was
wrapped in the towels and paper before life
was extinct
Although the detectives have worked
hard on the case, the woman has not been
unprecedented. 1t is thought the jury will
hear the witnesses the police were able to
find and render verdict attributing the
murder to some person or persons un-
known.

WORK OF sEALER.s OFFICE.
Importance Of Supervision of Weight
and Measures.


and Measures.
Speaking today 10 a Star reporter of the
operations of his office, Mr.. Haskell, the
District sealer of weights and measures,
said
The importance of tie office is illustrate
ed by the fact that within the past thirty
days over 200 dry measures and liquid
measures have been corfscated and de-
stroyed because they were below the stand
that for the sale of cereals liquid measures
instead of dry measures are used no doubt
innocently, and this entails loss of about
oEe-fourth lin quantity to the purchaser.
In many cases the dealers are using meas
ures and scales which are a loss to them
selves These matters are receiving close
attention, and the regulation of them Will
be of great benefit to the public.
when ii is taken into consideration that
this office stands between the consumers
and the dealers, and that the conflSC& ton
of such large number of measures was
made III a small section of the city, it GER
tainly shows the Importance OF the office
to the public in gen -ral
Il take some little pride in the fac. that
in the two months l have hal charge CT

Commissioners il giving me additional as

LACK OF FUNDS,
Associated Charities Unable to Nice,
the Demands

Owing to the lack of funds. assistance is
being given by the Associated Charities
only In cases of sickness, or where aid is
imperatively demanded. The appeals for
assistance on the part of the charita bly-in
clined have been but little needed.
1t is thought this is due to the unusually
mild weather. The only thing which Will
help to swell the funds of the charities, it
Is believed, is a sudden cold snan. The
secretary OF the Associated Charities de-
ciares 1t is not possible to realize tnslI dcs-

perature, but the demands for aid arc about
as many now as during the continuance of
