Congratulations to The Star,

To the Editor of The Evening Star,
1 desire to congratulate you on your forth
coming building. l have often expressed
my belief that The Star is one of the most
valuable newspaper properties in the United
States.
In It's literary qualities the Saturday edi-
ton is in my humble opinion, equal to the
magazines.
But it is Of it as an advertising medium
that would speak more at length. In my
experience rather desultory newspaper
writer l have had occasion to see most of
the leading papers of the country, and I
do not recall single one that, in my
opinion, is equal to your paper in this de-
Dartment.
In the beauty of its type, its display and
the intrinsic quality of it's advertising mat
ter 1 consider it pre-eminent. The business
men of Washington have some very bright
ad-writers, and / consider that The Star
has done much to develop talent in this
line I write this the more freely because
L have no ak to grind-I cannot sell you
any stuff"
1 remain very truly yours,
MILTON T. ADKINS.

CONTRACTOR FINED.
Charge Made That He Had Violated
Building Regulations.

Hugh L. Waters, contractor, was be-
fore the Police Court today charged with
having violated the building regulations in
Georgetown. There were two charges
against him, both preferred by Policeman
Herndon. Mr.. Waters made excavations
along the building line for Contractor Bur-
ton. The work was necessarily suspended,
and it was shown that the excavation had
been properly barricaded.
But said Mr.. Burton, "people in the
neighborhood took away everything but the
hole"
He complained that all the boards had
been taken away and there was nothing to
show that the persons who had taken them
had been arrested.
The fact that the boards had been stolen,
the judge said, did not affect the case. If
there had been an accident resulting from
the absence of a barricade there would
have been a suit against the District. Mr..
Waters was fined 81 in each case.
