not q hero; that there were too many
heroes of the Spanish war already; he was
simply d volunteer and nothing more. His

Infantry, he said. was with Col. Wliiam

Colonel Jrell praised the Infantry bat
talon as it turned out when ordered into
camp at Soldiers Home during the first
days of the war of 1893 He thought 1t a
deep pity that such fine body of soldiers
could not be taken into the service as a
whole. No better battalion was in exist
ence at that time. He spoke briefly of the
service OF the District regiment in Cuba,
saying the regiment had the best OF officers
and the best of men to back those officers
up.

The men endured their hardships without
complaint, he said. They would have lived
on dog or tarantula before uttering one
word of complaint" declared the speaker,
amid applause.
Colonel UrelI said he was always ready
to respond to his country's call, no matter
what time it might come.
Captain Powell announced that the In

HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS,
COMMISSIONER Asked to Construe M
Act of CODgress

The District Commissioners recently re-
ceived an inquiry from w. B. Holtzclaw
as to the construction to be placed on the
act OF Congress for the regulation of the
height of buildings in the District Mr.
Holtzclaw asked whether the act serves Il
repeal section IT of the building regula-
tons with reference to determining the
thickness of walls. He wrote the Com
missioners that the matter is one of great
Importance to builders
Upon the Recommendation of Captain
Beach. the Engineer Commissioner, Mr.
Holtzclaw has been informed that the Sec
ton Of the building regulations to which
he referred Is construed by the Commits
sioners to refer to the height of walls
above the ground for the purpose of deter
mining their thickness, while section six
Of the act Of March l. 1899, regulates the
height OF buildings with reference to light,
ventilation and adjoining properties. The
Commissioners are of the opinion that the
two do not conflict.

Of his pride in belonging to the battalion

In some way, unknown to the officials at
the District building, a rumor has gained
circulation in the northwest section of the
city that, in connection with the work of
reconstructing the Belt line railway on 11th
street northwest, that street will be widen
ed from E stfeet to Florida avenue The per
sistent circulation of this rumor has re-
suited in numerous inquiries, both oral
and by letter, at the office of the Engineer
Commissioner as to the facts in the matter
So far as now known there is no intention
of widening this street, either at this or
any future time.

house.


house.
Policeman Creagh this morning about 8
O'Clock arrested Robert Tensley, colored.
and John B. Chambers, white. whom he
found on the road near Benning. and held
them at the ninth precinct station as sus-
picious characters. An additional charge
Of carrying revolver was preferred
against Tensley. from whom the officer
took big weapon.
There had been row in the freight yard
near Benning in which a freight conductor
and tramps participated, and two shots
were fired When the officer heard the re-
ports Of the shots he started to make an in
vestigation. He was unable to find the
conductor at whom he was told the shots
had been fired, but he did succeed in ar
resting the men mentioned. There were
two empty chambers in the weapon, but
Tensley denied that he had shot at any
body. His statement was that he had just
reached Benning on a freight train, and he
said he belonged in Philadelphia. Chambers
told the officer that he has a home in Hav-
erhill, Mass.
At this season of the year when country
people come to market during the early
morning hours trouble is usually expert
enced on the roads on account of the work
of highwaymen, and for this reason the
officer was commended by the citizens Of
Bennng for making this arrest.
In Judge Kimbalrs court this morning the
defendants said they met in Philadelphia
and came here on freight train after Wis
iting Albany and New York
MY home is in Baltimore the colored
man said but 1 was in Philadelphia
Were you ever in Jail in Baltimore?"
Yes, sir"
For WHAT"
Shooting crap"
And so they shoot crap in Baltimore,
too" the court remarked.
Tensley's sentence was ninety days in
Jail without fine. and Chambers was given
ten days on the farm.

Fourth Annual Dinner Given Last
Night at Freund's.
PRESIDENT POWELL AS POSTMASTER
Addresses in Review of History Of
the Organization.
LIST OF THOSE PRESENT

Half hundred members of the Washing
ton Light Infantry Veteran Association
gathered around a gaily decorated banquet
table last night and with a number of
friends and distinguished guests discussed
Apply and interesting incidents of the past.
It was the fourth annual dinner of the as
ISOLATION and was set at Freund'S Sl5 10th
street northwest.
The Washington Light Infantry has been
making history in the nations capital since
1896, and discussion and recital of the career
Of the famous military organization is al
ways of interest to it's members and admir-
ers. Last evening the speakers dwe!t upon
memories of bygone days and referred in
tenderest terms to the death of old COM
rades, all especially referring to the loss
of Major William G. Moore, who had been
connected with the infantry many years
prior to his recent demise.
After the banquet had been served, Cap
tain ]. Tyler Powell. president of the as
ISOLATION and POSTMASTER, raped for order
and announced the beginning of one Of the
pleasing features Of the occasion-the
speechmaking. Captain Powell gave, by
way of Introduction, Succinct history OF
the old Light Infantry, and Of the Organiza-
ton four years ago of the veteran associa-
ton of that organization. The Washington
Light Infantry. as minated above, was
organized in 1895 making its first public
appearance September IL of that year, the
occasion being reception rendered the mil
itary companies of Baltimore, which had
jOurneyed to Washington in celebration of
the battle of North Point. The Baltimore
militia had always celebrated on this date
and upon this occasion had visited Wash
ington to naugurate travel over the rail-
road between the two cities which had just
been completed. The Infantry was organ
lied primarily for the purpose of meeting
and escorting the visiting soldiers. The for
nation was of course made in a hurry.
The organization paraded, however, with
thirty-six muskets in line.

and can be depended upon to make the
very best use Of the apparatus a. his
disposal, but unless the deficiencies
noted in respect to the department are
supplied. the city, with its increasing
values and population. will have TO be-
come accustomed to more frequent and
| heavier fires than have occurred OF late
years.
Finally, the correction OF the bad
| features which have now been fairly
well pointed out, will, beyond doubt
result in lower rates OF insurance in
point OF fact the Board OF Fire Under
writer's cannot avoid this, nor are as.
surances at all lacking that a reduction
equal in the aggregate to at least the
cost OF the necessary improvements In
the fire department service can b'
counted on. This feature alone should
be regarded as a sufficient reason fol
appropriating and using the necessary
money. Rates are higher in Honolulu
than the situation would then call FOL
and property owners who do not now
insure would again protect their prop
erty with policies.
