One of the most difficult problems TO be
brought before the approaching Congress
by the District Commissioners will be the
overhead wire question. The Commissioners
are endeavoring to entirely abolish all over
head wires. and although there has been
considerable legislation on the subject in
recent years, the question has by no means
been solved. 1t is understood that in their
annual report TO be prepared in November,
attention will be called to the need OF
legislation along this line, with view
Of having Congress take up the matter in
earnest and legislate against the overhead
wire in favor of the conduit system. The
telegraph companies are aware of this fact,
and a bitter fight may be carried on be-
tween those concerns and the authorities
before the matter is settled by Congress.
II was learned some time ago that the
Western Union Telegraph Company has
special contract with the Government which
entities the corporation to string wires on
any Government road Inasmuch as the
streets of Washington are owned by the
Government. it appears that the company
claims the same right on the streets OF
this city Commissioner Ross is devoting
considerable time 10 this feature of the
subject, and recently wrote TO representa-
tive j. W. Babcock, Chairman Of the Dis
tTict Committee in the House of Repre-
sentatives. calling attention to the newly
acquired facts regarding the claims of the
telegraph company.
A letter has been received at the District
Building from the Wisconsin representative
expressing his views on the subject in the
following manner:
Il understand that the Western Union
Telegraph Company has a special contract
with the Government, which grants them
the right TO maintain wires on any United
States road. The fact that the streets of
Washington are owned in fee simple by the
United States Government is the basis of
the claim that they come in under this
contract. While / do not suppose that this
was intended as a part of the contract when
made, nevertheless, ii is a fact
AS you are aware, / am not a lawyer,
and do not feel like giving an opinion where
legal points or questions are involved but
sympathize with your position and can see
no reason why you should issue permits
that are in violation of the law
4 do not suppose you viii be embarrass-
ed by any questions of this kind outside of
the Postoffice Department and the Western
Union Company, but l think some steps
should be taken 10 arrange the matter with
the telegraph company so that their wires
would go underground. / think they will
be reasonable and cooperate with the Gov
ernment officials in reaching this end

THE DOG AND PONY SHOW.
A Big Audience Witnesses an ANUS
ing Performance.

ing Performance
Between 800 and 1000 persons crowded
the tent of the Gentry Brothers Dog ani
Pony Show last night In the performance
the ponies monkeys, and dogs took the
place of human actors generally seen at a
circus and filled their parts very credita-
bly,, every canine and equine actor getting
round of applause while shouts of laugh
ter greeted the antics of the clown dogs.
Opening with drill by ten ponies, which
marched and coun termarched at the wo Il
of command, the show lasted about two
hours, the acts going with commendable
celebrity. After the pony drill the clowns
cut number of capers, and then came the
visit of Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder and their
baby, Bunch" in which three dogs were
the actors. 1t was va1y amusing turn,
highly enjoyed by the audience. Romeo
and Juliet, two trained ponies, -. did
q clever act, Romeo fitting a rock
ing board in time with music while
Juliet answered a number of questions by
shaking her head in the affirmative or
negative. Four ponies next did a see-saw
act. Satan and Pinto, the baby elephants,
also did some clever tricks. Ellis"
white English collie, rode a. pony bare
back, monkey rode a pony and leaped
over extended poles, a number of grey
hounds took the place of acrobats, which
usually do high jumping, and a little fox
terrier leaped from a twenty-foot ladder,
which it had climbed, into net. The
performance closed with a fire scene, in
which the ponies hauled the fire apparatus,
manned by monkeys, while Cog firemen res
cued other dogs from a burning house. Af-
ter the performance the children were per-
mitted to go into the ring and caress the
ponies and dogs, a privilege the seemed to
hugely enjoy.

LABOR MEN PROTEST.
Object to Outsiders Building New
Truck Houses.


Truck Houses.
A protest against the recent action of
the District Commissioners in the matter
of the award of the contract for building
two Of the proposed new truck houses for
the Fire Department to an outside con-
tractor has been filed with the municipal
authorities by the knights of Labor of
this city. The truck houses in question
are 10 be located, one on Whitney Avenue
near Fourteenth Street, Columbia Heights
and the other in Georgetown. After the
opening Of bids the Commissioners were
about to award the contract to John
Hughes, Baltimore contractor, who sub
mitted a proposal much lower than the
two or three local contractors, who were
competitors. Before they did this, how
ever, they found that they would have 10
throw out the outside bid because II was
informal, and all bids were rejected.
Through an erroneous statement the Or
der of the knights of Labor became in
formed that the bid of Hughes had been
accepted, and believing the statement 10
be correct forwarded the following letter
Of protest to the Commissioners:
At a meeting OF District Assembly 6s. Knights Of
Labor, held on the 14th inst, resolutions were
unanimously adopted protesting against the action
of your honorable body in awarding contracts for
the erection Of the two truck houses to out
side contractors Being bona -fde residents and
taxpayers Of the District feel that we have
2 Just right foT the chance TO work in all i'm
proyemeBts made by the District government ID
order to be able to pay OUR taxes and to live
But when rulers see fit to award contracts 10
outside contractors, who bring their cheap labor
with them, 1t must be apparent TO you that we
deprived OF an opportunity 10 work when we
are 50 entitled.
The Commissioners have not taken final
action on the protest. but Captain Beach
has recommended that the labor organiza-
tions be informed that 'an informality was
discovered in the proposal of the lowest
bidder-Mr. John Hughes, of Baltimore
and that his bid has been rejected on
that account" In conclusion the draft
OF the letter which Captain Beach is de-
sirous of having mailed to the organization
reads as follows:
The Commissioners beg leave to call attention
to the fact, however, that they powerless 10
discriminate between home and outside contract
oFs. The law requires that the proposal Of the
lowest responsible bidder shall be accepted, re
gsrdless Of his place OF abode.
