Since the commission of the crime the po-

which Smell figured in transactions which

make clear to her his alleged misconduct.
Only few days ago. during one of his Wis

meeting did not seem to disturb the pris-

HARBOR MASTERS NEEDS.
Estimate of Appropriations Required
for Ensuing Year.

Mr.. ] R. Sutton. the District harbor mas
ter, has submitted TO the Commissioners
his report for the fiscal year ended June
So 1899, together with an estimate of the
expenses of the office for the fiscal year
ending June so, 1901.
THE harbor office wharf says Mr. Sui
ton, 'is in very bad condition. The piles
and flooring are of pine. are decaying very
fast, and need repairing, for which | re-
Spectfully ask an appropriation of $500
The work at night has been SO increased
by the enforcement of game and fish laws
that l respectfully ask for night crew. as
follows: One pilot, at $3.50 per annum; one
engineer at $3.50 per annum; one deck hand
at $3.50 per annum, and fuel and miscel-
laneous expenses, SS00-a total of So $40 In
view of the fact that the machinery which
has been transferred from the old harbor
boat to the new boat Vigilant is too old to
properly prCpel her, 4 respectfully renew my
recommendation of last year that 81 900 be
appropriated to purchase suitable ma
chinery and boilers
Mr.. Sutton also asks for clerk, at s72O
per annum, stating in support of his re-
quest that the placing of the control and
management of the river front property in
the hands of the Commissioners has thrown
a vast amount of work upon his office
thereby making absolutely necessary the
employment of clerk.
The most important work done under the
supervision of the harbor master during the
breaking up of the ice in the river during
the month of February last. During that
month the river was frozen over, the ice
varying in thickness from eight to twelve
inches, thus closing the river to navigation
Immediately after the river was frozen over
there We're a number of snow storms I'M
precedented in the history of the District
covering the ice to a depth of from twenty
to thirty-sX inches of snow. These snow
storms were not local in their character
put extended to the head of the Potomac
AS natural consequence of this, when the
snow melted grave dangers of food were
apprenended by all, and especially by those
of the low-lying sections of the city, whose
places have been flooded on former occa-
sions, when to all appearances the pros
poets of flood were nothing like as great
as on this occasion. The Commissioners of
the District at once saw the danger and
lost no time in appealing to Congress for
an appropriation of $1,000, to be made i'm
mediately available, for the purpose of
breaking up the ice in the Potomac there
by preventing flood. Congress very readi-
ly responded to their call, and no time
was lost in getting to work.
Mr.. Sutton then explains at length the
arrangements made, the boats engaged and
the complete success which attended the
work, concluding with the statement that
the river was opened at a total cost of So
9oS. 40, leaving balance of the apprupria-
ton of 81, 091 3d.

FOR RETIREMENT OF SERVICE.
Complaint Against Schedule on Cit,
and Suburban Branch

Complaint Against Schedule on City
and Suburban Branch.
Mr.. w. F. Daniels a few days ago called
the attention of the Commissioners to what
he asserted is a failure of the City and Su-
burban Railway Company to maintain a
satisfactory schedule between the corner of
Sd and T streets, lexington, and Brook
land After o'clock in the evening. COM
plains Mr.. Daniels, there is but one car
run on this section of the road, making,
even at the best, a twenty-minute schedule
between the points mentioned. But, as a
matter of fact, he says, the in the even
ing is not run on any schedule whatever
no accommodations being provided for the
comfort of passengers who are compelled
TO wait for the cars. The service, he
claims, is not only inconvenient to the pat
rons of the road. but a disgrace to the city
An investigation was ordered by the Com
miSslnrers, one of their inspectors report
ing to them that the piece of road men
toned by MIR. Daniels is now being operat-
ed as follows: Between 5 and O'Clock
am, and and II pm. one car, leaving
junction points every twenty minutes and
betWeen am. and pm. every ten min
uteS. Such manner OF running the inSpec-
tor believes, does not afford an accommo-
dation equal to tho demands of traffic
which. he thinks, calls for at least fifteen
minute schedule during the day. He also
thinkS that, II the corner of Sd and T
streets is to be continued as a junction
point some suitable shelter facilities, sub
Ject to the approval of the Commissioners
should be provided there and also at Brook
land.
The engineer department of the District
has been advised by the new officials of the
railway that efforts will be made by them
20 better the service. The substance of Mr.
Daniels complaint will, however be for
no rff i1l, e
expression on the part of the Commissioners
that they desire that they will so improve
the running of the schedule between the
points as to remove all cause of complaint
