mark of scorn for that body"
New Engine House.
Mr.. Fiebeger made a motion which
was seconded by Mr.. Homan, that a
clause, providing for .03 mills for
purchasing a lot and erecting a new
fire engine house, be inserted in the
tax levy ordinance. No location
was cited for the new building, but
the Fourth ward was spoken OF
prominently.
Mr.. Amer wanted to know if the
Council could pass on such an ordi-
nance. Mr.. Brady thought it was
out of the question to expect any
help from the Commissioners. Mr..
Paul expressed himself favorably on
having the clause inserted. Mr..
Homan thought the Commissioners
should prepare the clause and the
Council pass on it.
Reached the Limit.
The question was referred to City
Solicitor Esgate, who said that the
city limit for taxation was 92 mills,
and that had already been reached
in the present ordinance. Something
else would have to be levied on.
Mr.. Fiebeger-"With the Commits
sioners' approval can this be en-
bodied in the levy?"
Mr.. Brady-''Is the motion legal?
Can the Council compel the Com
missioners to act with it? Has this
body any legal influence with the
Commissioners
Mr.. Esgate-"You people want to
distribute to tax fund. The Com
missioners must do that. You can t
force them to insert the clause"
Mr.. Fiebeger-''If they prepare it,
we can either refuse it absolutely or
send it back to them. Good fire pro-
lection is wanted. It's absolutely
necessary. The people will not vote
to build new engine house. Doubt
less We're it left to them, not even a
school house would be built. Our
fire department is said to be
conducted on an expensive
scale. We, at least, need
one more engine house. If this levy
is continued for three years, it can
be built

Borrowing Money.

Mr.. McMillen-"We're borrowing
money now; and we must cut down
expenses"
Mr.. Fiebeger-''The fire depart.
ment is good only when it gets there
in time. The Fourth ward needs an
engine house badly. Must we go on
paying as we go? The burden is un.
Just. Let the future generation helI
pay for that which is going to benefit
them more than u.s.
Mr. Neutrality-suspicious. a contract
could be let for such work, it would
be necessary to certify that certain
amount was in the treasury before
we could go ahead. That's why we
insist on appropriating this extra .O5
mills for streetimprovements. We've
got to draw the line somewhere; but
by petition after petition it is de-
manded that we go on with our street
improvements.
Mr.. Paul-"If the Werner Co. IS
plant would burn down the city
would lose a great deal more than
would follow if some little street were
neglected"
The council won in the scrap. The
motion was carried. But scarcely
had the last sound of the battle died
away before another, and even fiercer
one, was precipitated.
Another Controversy.
This followed the reading OF the
monthly payroll. Two items in it

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS VIEWS
Amendment to Liquor Law Does Not Apply
to Clubs and Hotels
New Act Intended to Provide for an
Omitted CEse-Scope of
the Law.

When asked today by Star reporter for
his views as to the new Sunday liquor law
District Attorney Davis made the following
statement:
In my opinion the new law in relation
to the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sun
day does not change the earlier law so far
as hotels and clubs are concerned. There
are no repeating words in the new act,
which was intended not to repeal or super
sede any existing provisions. but merely to
provide for an omitted case-the case,
nancy, of delivering on Sunday intoxicat-
ing liquors sold some prior day of the
week. The words other person or corpo-
ration were inserted as to prevent eva
sion of the act by the claim that the per-
sons delivering were not brewers or their
representatives. and the words sell or
were inserted to prevent the contention
that by expressly providing against deliv-
cry the act might be said implicitly to
countenance selling on Sunday by brewers
and their representatives. Besides. the pen
aties prescribed by the old and new acts
are radically different. BY the new act a
fine only is imposed; by the old act not only
was fine imposed but also it was pro-
vided that on second conviction the fine
imposed on the first should be increased
and the offenders license revoked, and that
after second conviction the offender
should never again have a license. 1t is
not possible that Congress intended to re-
old law, leaving 1t to the liquor dealers to
go on selling as they please. subject only
to the risk of being fined from time to time
if detected and convicted.
The new act was submitted by the At
torney General to me for examination be-
fore its approval, and I recommended it's
signature in the clear belief that it could
not have the effect now claimed for it.

4 Post Office Crossing.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t IS very evident TO those who have oc-
casiOn to visit the post office often that
some provision must be made for the safe
T. and comfort of its patrons. An elevated
way would be unsightly and would not be
used: subway is almost as impracticable.
The only feasible plan that occurs to the
writer is TO make a raised path across the
avenue directly in front of the main door
of the post office. station a policeman in
the center and require all vehicles TO mod
crate speed in crossing.
At present people do not know where to
attempt the passage. Daily there are many
narrow escapes. as the letter carriers and
policemen stationed in the vicinity can tes-
1iiy. II the crossing We're established oeo-
pie would generally use it ard thus the
field of possible danger would be greatly
lessened.
The path need not be raised more than
three inches above the level Of the street.
:Ed. if properly sloped, would form no
obstruction 10 vehicles or marching bodies.
Something must he done in this matter
speedily, and simpler and better method
than the one suggested may be invented by
some ingenious mind The writer will be
more than satisfied If his suggestion should
cause any proper action in the case.

some time before and after he was employ

A PRINCIPAL TOPIC.
Proposed Union of Daughters of Rev
OlutiOn With Sister Society.

1t is generally expected that in the an
nual convention of the Daughters of the
Revolution, at Philadelphia, in April, one
of the principal topics of discussion will
be the proposed consolidation of their or
ganization with the Daughters of the
American Revolution. For several years
many efforts looking toward consolidation
have been made, but have always failed,
because no mutual concessions could be
agreed upon. plan adopted at the recent
congress of the D. A. r. grants larger con-
cessions than any heretofore but. while
some of the most prominent members of
both societies are willing to come together
on any reasonable terms, others are still
strongly opposed. Relative to the plan now
proposed, the following is an official state
ment from the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton:
THE action taken at the recent congress
of the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton looking to an amalgamation of that
society with the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton was entirely voluntary upon the part
of the D. A. r.. and not with the sanction
at the request of the Daughters of the
Revolution.
There is no probability of a surrender
by the d. r. society to the D. A. r. s.

PROBABLE CHANGES.
Anticipated Transfers of Pastors by
NJ. E. Conference.

Although the Baltimore conference of the
NJ. E. Church, which has been in session
| in the Caroline Street Church in Baltimore
for nearly a week, will not adjourn until
some time tomorrow, 1t is pretty well known
among those who are on the inside what
changes are to be made among the various
pastorates. A minister told Star reporter
that Rev. E. o. Eldridge, heretofore at
Waugh, will go to Greenmount Avenue
Church, Baltimore the pastor there, Rev.
George E. Maydwell coming to Waugh.
Rev. F. H. Havenner of East Baltimore
Station is to come to Dumbarton Avenue
Church, Georgetown, Rev. DR.. Richardson,
who was slated for the place. having ac-
cepted call to a church in Baltimore, as
he desires to remain in that city. Rev. j.
r. Wheeler who for year or so has been
on the superannuated list, placed there at
his own request, has asked for active work,
and WILL it is expected, be sent to Cor
such, Rev. w. H. Chapman, the retiring
pastor. having requested superannuated
relation Rev. J. B. Stitt, lately of George
town, goes, as heretofore stated in The
Star to Fayette Street, Baltimore Rev.
DR. Hartsock will return to Douglas Me-
mortal, although he has received several
calls to become pastor of other churches.
He wants to complete the new church build
Ing for Douglas congregation. which was
begun some months ago and the first story
of which will soon be dedicated. Rev. E.
L. w dtSOIl, VINO was asked TO become pas
tor of Dumbarton Avenue, declined the call
and will return to Grace. There may be
some changes among the presiding elders,
but 1t is regarded as certain that Rev. DR..
L. B. Wilson will again be assigned to the
Washington district.
AS stated in The Star of Saturday, the
conference will meet next year in the Met
ropolitan Church, this city. 1t is under
stood this victory was secured through the
efforts of a Washington lady who led in the
applause at an opportune moment when the
question was under consideration. Grace
and Madison Avenue churches had been
placed in nomination for the honor, each in
an eloquent speech by it's pastor. Then
Rev. DR.. Bristol extended an invitation
from the official board of Metropolitan.
Washington. At the mention of the two
words the lady referred to clapped her
hands enthusiastically. The wave thus
started spread throughout the vast audi
ence and a scene was enacted such as had
never before been witnessed at a similar
gathering. The applause became general.
and when. few moments later, the vote
was taken Washington won by almost
unanimous vote Although no vote was
taken proposition made by Rev. DIR.
Hugh NJ. Johnson, pastor of the First
Church, Baltimore. that the conference
shall meet there in 1901, it is considered
that the conference has virtually pledged
itself to formally agree to this at the proper
time next year.
