POLICEMEN's HOURS.
Former Member of Force Brings .
Test Suit,

Suit at law to recover s. 800 alleged to
be due the plaintiff on an account, has been
instituted in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia by Enoch g. Edelen
against the District of Columbia The
plaintiff was formerly a member Of the
metropolitan police force, and the suit is
brought to test the question whether OF
not policemen can be compelled to work an
Indefinite number of hours out of each
twenty-four, or whether they are protected
by the law of 1892, which declares that
eight hours is a legal days wo.k and other
laws enacted upon the same subject by
Congress.
Mr.. Edelen, in his declaration sets forth
that he has worked about five years as q
policeman, giving on an average of about
fifteen hours out Of each twenty-four: that
he had only been paid at the rate of s. 80
per day. which he claims for his eight hours
services; that there is now an excess due
him amounting IN a total to s. 800 for time
served over and above what he was legally
required to give.
If the court should hold that eight hours
constitutes legal days work ii is claimed
that there will be probably a million dollars
coming TO the police and firemen for extra
work. The question involved IN the Edelen
case is the same in all the others
Attorneys G. G. Bradshaw and Nat Ward
titz-Gerald represent the plaintiff.

ROCK CREEK PARK,
The Commission Asks for Action m,
Its ReDOrt.

Attorney S. T. Thomas, acting in behalf
OF the ROCK Creek Park commission, today
appeared before the Court in General Term
ana moved that some action be taken by
the court In regard to the report of the
commission.
The report referred to was submitted last
December. 1t will be remembered that
the commission assessed no benefits The
law covering the matter provides that the
court shall act on the assessments reported
Under this peculiar condition of affairs the
members OF the commission do not under
stand their exact status Desiring to be
discharged as members of the commission
they therefore appealed to the court to act
in some manner.
The Court In General Term took the mat
ter under consideration.

THE INSULAR COMMISSION
The First Board Meeting to Occur Here Next
Monday.
The Report Will Be Exhaustive and
Take Some Time in Prep
aratiOn.

The first board meeting of the tnsuiar
commission since it's return from Porto
Rico will occur next Monday. General
Kennedy and Mr. Curtis Of the commits
sion, accompanied by their clerks, reached
the city last night. The clerks arrived yes
terday with the official and personal effects
The trunks and boxes were sent to the
Lemon building, and several were opened.
Much interest was evinced in this work, as
the trunks contained a numerous and va
ried array of Porto Rican and Cuban ar
ticles. Among these We're several real
Toledo blade swords, unique earthern wa
ter crooks, Spanish clothing, cigars, canes,
cattle goads, dried grasses and plants, sea
fans, relics of the suuken Spanish ships
and barbed wire from San Juan Hill.
The report of the commission will be
lengthy, and has been in process of prep
aration for some time. The commission
found the Porto Ricans taxed practically to
death. lakes were levied in every possible
and seemingly impossible way. The evil
was 50 extensive that license was granted
officials of every kind to practice extortion
In its most burdensome forms. AS an in
stance the commission found that in the
sale of property for $1,000 the notarial
fees were $500 On every hand the people
were mulcted by the officials of the pueblOS,
and every municipal or judicial process de-
pended for its celerity upon the size of the
tip given to hasten things. 1t was found
that the poems VINO tiil the land anu i've
near the mountains exist in the most
wretched and filthy poverty. The cattle
and humans dwell under one roof and
cleanliness is a forgotten element. Despite
this, the people enjoy health.
Natives Good Business Men.
The natives of the cities were observed
as rule, to be we'll dressed, intelligent and
acute business men, but even among them
little ragard is paid to scrupulous personal
appearance.
They are much opposed to the influx Of
American men and capital, as they believe
themselves capable to embrace and de-
Velop their new opportunities. Neverthe-
less excepting the priests, they are cordial
ana polite to Americans. The natives are
very suspicious of each other, and this has
led to the use of the insular police force.
These men patrol the entire island and pre-
serve order and prevent neighborhood
squabbles- Their pay is $50 month and
their uniforms are furnished.
The commission found many admirable
features in the present system of local gov
ernment This is called the Rivera FORM
and it gives autonomy after the plan
adopted by Sagasta. The island has two
political parties. One the liberal or Ri
vera" element, and the other the "ROssi"
or conservative party. 1t will recommend
some changes In the existing system but
radical reform Will not be instituted until
the people are better able to understand
and to assimllate modern American ideas.
