ASK COOPERATION.
Commissioners Prefer a Request to

Commissioners Prefer a Request to
the Attorney General.
The Attorney General has been asked by
the District Commissioners to cooperate
with them in securing as early an adjust
ment as possible of the questions involved
in the recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court concerning the matter OF
wharves along the river front of the city.
The Commissioners based their request on
the following grounds:
1.-The act Of Congress of March 3, 1899
gives to the Commissioners certain duties
TO perform in connection with these
wharves, and the decision of the Supreme
Court, rendered on May 1 last, that the
title to the same is in the United States
led the Commits sioners, acting on the ad-
vice of their attorney, to serve notice on
the occupants of the wharves that they
the Commissioners would hereafter take
possession, that rents should not be paid
as in former years, but should be paid
hereafter to the collector of taxes of the
rentals and rules and regulations govern
ing the wharves should have been ad-
justed
ut now appears that it would have
been better, perhaps, to have waited until
the mandate had been handed down from
the Supreme Court and the United States
had taken actual possession of the wharves
and turned them over to the Commission
ers in regular form. The action taken
by the Commissioners appears to have
somewhat embarrassed the actual occu-
pants of the wharves, and affects not only
the matter Of rentals but that Of insurance
on property there, and that Of building
additional structures, application having
been made already for permits to erect
such buildings

ADJUSTMENTS.

COLUMBIA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
belongs both to the old and the new In the
drama 1t deals with modern topics, and
yet possesses solidty Of style which
leaves 1t distinct from and we'll above the
various society plays which have been con-
structed from season to season for current
consumption. 1t contains numerous long
speeches, and for an effective production
these must be recited with confidence, as
well as with understanding. For Its perfect
production 1t should have company whose
organization is of long standing and whose
opportunities for rehearsal are unlimited.
1t needs a cast whose strength is above the
average and well distributed for the people
of the play are not the commonplace ladies
and gentlemen with whom the average So
ciety dramatist decorates his drawing
rooms. In this piece Bronson Howard sue
ceeds in handling with success theme
which has often been taken up, both before
and since the success of "Aristocracy," and
usually without good results. The fortune
hunting nobeman has been a tempting tar
get for the moralist and Mr.. Howard, who
is moralist, as well as a dramatist, takes
him very seriously. He sounded note of
warning bidding heiresses beware the no
bility. The heiresses have not given much
attention to Mr.. Towards timely admoni-
ton, but the general public has been very
grateful for the play. There is immense
satisfaction to the democratic play-goer in
being conveyed into an atmosphere where
princes and dukes and earls and the like
are tossed promiscuously about as If they
were of no value Last night the nobility
was variously exploited, from the low
comedy nobleman to the heavy villain no.
bleman, not to mention the nobleman with
a dash Of supernumerary in him. The
American aristocracy shone to fine advan-
tage by contrast, with Mr.. J. H. Gilmore as
its exponent Mr.. Gilmore is a splendid ac-
tor His performance last night was the
chief attraction in a production distin-
guished by many points Of merit and by
some glazing deficiencies. Miss Mary
Hampton shared the interest with Mr.. Gil
more much of the time Mr. Harry Burk-
hardt, as the prince, assisted Miss Hamp-
ton in bringing the great scene Of the play
the scene without which there would prob
ably have been no "Aristocracy"-to a safe
and successful finish. Mr.. Alfred Hudson
played the part of the title-worshiping head
OF an old New York family plausibly and
entertainingly. Miss Fanchon Campbelrs
portrayal of the heroine's distresses was
conscientious. Miss May Buckley a lady
with many friends in Washington PLAYED
the part of a vivactous society girl in a
manner which proved interesting.
This company is at present the sole re-
lance of Washington's theater-goers and
1t will doubtless receive liberal encourage
ment.

VERDICT FOR $4,000.
Jury Awards Damages for Injuries to
Plaintiff Hunter.

In the case of George r. E. Hunter
against the Standard Elevator Company of
Chicago, a jury in Circuit Court No. 1 to-
day rendered a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff fo- $4,000 damages, for injuries al
legged to have been received by him through
thesfault of the defendants employees The
suit was brought some time since by
Messrs. Lambert and Lambert, as attor-
neys for Mr.. Hunter. 1t was claimed in
the declaration that by reason of being
struck upon the head by car in the
Treasury Department, while engaged in
constructing the elevator shaft, the plaintiff
suffered a fracture of the skull and was
otherwise seriously injured 1t was further
alleged that the car in question was being
operated by an agent of the defendant com-
pany and descended upon the plaintiff with
out previous warning, whereby, it was
claimed the plaintiff was injured to the
extent of $4,000.
The present trial was begun Wednesday
last before Chief Justice Bingham and
jury, and was submitted late yesterday af
ternoon after being argued by Attorneys
Tallmadge A. Lambert and Wilton J. Lam
bert, in behalf of Mr.. Hunter, and by At
torneys Flannery and McKenney, repre-
senting the defendant.

HACK AND CAB STANDS.
Hotel Men Confer Today With Dis
trict Commissioner wirht,

trict Commissioner Wight.
A delegation Of local hotel men, accom-
panied by Mr.. H. F. woodard their attor-
ney, waited upon District Commissioner
Wight today for the purpose of comforting
upon the subject Of hack and cab stands in
front of the hotels Of the city. The hotel
proprietors were represented by Mr.. O. G.
Staples. Mr.. H. c. Burch Mr. T. E. Roes-
sic and Mr.. Smallwood. It was explained
to Mr.. Wight, as was stated to him yester-
day by Mr. Staples, that the recent order
OF the Commissioners abolishing the stands
maintained by the local hotels has caused
considerable annoyance to the patrons of
the houses and largely decreased the rev.
enues of the hotel men. Mr.. Wight replied
that the Commissioners, in making the
order, did simply what the law required
them to do, and that while they appreciate
the Inconvenience 1t has caused the travel
Ing public and admit that 1t may have in
terfered with the revenues of the hotel
people, they can do nothing while the law
prohibiting the occupancy of public space
for private purposes remains in force.
Mr.. Wight referred to the offer Of the
Commissioners to establish public stands
in front of or Immediately adjacent to the
various hotels, which offer was declined by
the proprietors. He stated that the Com
missioners made the order reluctantly. and
with no intention whatever to harass or
interfere with the business of the hotel
men. Referring to a complaint of crab
bing'' on the part of public hackmen and
cabmen, Mr.. Wight said that the chief of
police had been instructed to stop such
practices, even If it becomes necessary to
largely increase the number of policemen
on the beats on which the several hotels
are located. The Hackmens Association
having brought to the Commissioners at
tention the illegality of private hotel
stands, the Commissioners are determined
that the law shall be fully enforced, both
as to them and the hotel keepers. There
fore, the police have been directed to
promptly arrest all public hackmen and
cabmen found lettering or soliciting trade
in front of the hotels.
Mr.. Woodland having inquired whether
in the event of the hotel keepers owning
their hacks and cabs, they would, under
the law, have the right to place them in
from. Of their respective houses, MIR. Wight
said that he is not prepared to say whether
that could be done not. But, should
that proposition be submitted to him by the
hotel men, he would be very glad to refer
the question to the attorney for the Dis
trict, believing the Commissioners would
act according to the advice given them by
their attorney in the matter.
After some further discussion, it was de-
cided that Mr.. Woodland, on behalf of the
hotel people, should submit the question to
the Commissioners and await the opinion
of the attorney for the District in the
matter,

Mr.. A. M Raymond of 1O6 18th street
northwest has written the District Commits
sioners as follows, relative to the action
of Judge Kimball of the Police Court in
filming a policeman for killing a dog with
his baton:
Regarding the fine imposed upon po-
liceman by Judge kimball, permit me to
say that there is little doubt in the minds
of fair-minded citizens that he did the
policeman a grave injustice and entailed
upon this community d train of evils that
is beyond all calculation. If this is an in
dication of the courts line of action in the
future, we would suggest that policemen
be sent to Poundmaster Einstein to take
lessons, and that he be allowed to issue
diplomas Man can protect himself from
his fellows. even to the extent of taking
life to do SO, but to protect ones self
against vicious dogs or the imposition of a
fine It is necessary to send for the pound
