day to Senator Mcmillan.
Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the Dis
trict committee of thu Senate, recently re-
onested of the District Commissioners in
formation as to whether the Mutual Dis
trict Messenger Company can legal
ly run a wire into the house of
Admiral Selfridge, recently erected at
Columbia road and Kalorama ave-
nue., for the purpose of anording pro-
lection against burglars. In reply, the
Commissioners wrote today they have good
reason to believe, from Information obtain
ed from the foreman of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company, that the
Mutual District Messenger Company has a
wire upon the poles of the telephone COM
pany In Columbia road. They state that
this wire, if belonging to the messenger
company, was strung without any authori
ty from them. The. Commissioners also
state that the latter company has steadily
refused to give them information concern
ing the wires controlled or strung by it.
1T is not believed continue the Com
missioners, that any permits have ever
been issued to this company for the pur-
pose of stringing wires or making house
connections, and the Commissioners do not
feel that they have authority to grant per-
mission in the case in question to make a
house connection with what is. as far as
can De aScertalneu, an uiiautHorlZeu wire.
IN this connection, 1t should be stated
that the various wires throughout the Dis
trict were not plated or recorded until
within the past two or three years. Within
that period the wires of the electric light
ing and telephone companies have been
pretty well ioca ted and mapped. There are
a number of other wires. however, which
have been strung at times, and by parties
unknown to the Commissioners. The wires
of the Mutual District Messenger Com
pany fail within this class. said company,
as before stated, having steadfastly refused
to give the Commissioners any aid what
ever in their efforts to obtain Information
as to the location and extent of its lines"
