Caused Comment.

Members Of the Congress Heights Citi-
zens Association called upon Commissions
er Ross yesterday for the purpose of in
quiring into the decision of the attorney for
the District by which, it was said, the as
ISOLATION would be deprived of the use of
the abandoned school house at Congress
Heights for the holding of meetings and en-
tertainments They were informed that
they might continue to use the building
provided no'entertainments were held there
This information led members of the asso-
citation to request an organization to which
they had previously given permission to use
the building for a church entertainment
last night to hold it elsewhere. The ladies
had to remove at a late moment, and con-
siderable comment was caused thereby

ness with them while on vacation in the
summer months. < TheS business Of these
tribunals being sos exceedingly engrossing,
1t practically precludesS any and all other
business, and yet 1t Is claimed that the
present salaries Of the members of the
court are less than any professional man
with q fair practice can realize.
To increase the Salaries of the members
of the Court of Appeals and the District
Supreme Court to the extent proposed by
the bill would amount to an aggregate an
half of this sum would be paid by the
United states, the other half being paid
from the revenues of the District. Prior
to 1893 the United States paid the whole
the latter tribunal, SO that if they should
be increased as proposed the United States
to 1893
are said to unanimously favor the bill; the
president OF the board Of trade has advo-
Gated 1t, and the business men of the Dis
trlct are understood to be favorably inclin-
Gu in' tne matter. Two subordinate Off
GERS OF the District Supreme Court, the
marshal and the attorney. of the United
states, receive salaries 81 600 and $780, re-
spectlVely, greater than the salaries of the
members. The earning capacity of a mem
per OF court of the United States Is, of
course, limited to his salary, and an act of
congress makes it high misdemeanor for
him to engage in the practice of law. d.
rectly or indirectly.
What the Advocates Say.
BY those who advocate the passage of
the bill. 1t is claimed that experience has
demonstrated that men without large
means, who work themselves into the front
rank OF the profession by their energies
ana abilities make the best judges. Men of
TINS description between the ages Of forty.
nVe ana hfty-five, which is considered by
most members of the profession as the most
appropriate age for the appointment of
judges, cannot afford, and are rarely will
ing, to accept a judgeship, with a salary
which will necessitate their drawing for a
part of their ordinary expenses on what
tney may nave been able to save up to the
time OF their appointment. Public policy,
II nothing else, it is asserted, requires that
judicial salaries should be so adjusted that
such men can afford to accept judicial posi-
tons, and 1t is declared that the salaries
now received by the members of the Court
OF Appeals and the Supreme Court of the
District leave them no margin between
tfeir salaries and the usual and necessary
expenses of living here
1t is explained that political considera-
tons do not enter into this question. OF
the nine members of these two courts, five
bers OF the Court of Appeals and the chief
Justice of the District Supreme Court. are
democrats. Of the fourteen justices ap-
pointed to the two courts during the last
twenty-five years, seven were republicans
and seven democrats. Six Of them were ap-
pointed from the District and eight from
the states-five from Maryland and one
the five appointed from Maryland, two were
democrats and three republicans. Each of
those appointed from Michigan, Ohio and
Texas was a democrat.

The annual sale of unclaimed property In
the hands of the police department took
place yesterday at the auction rooms or j.
w. Radcliffe, No. $40 Pennsylvania avenue.
When the sale commenced at 10 O'Clock

There were about four hundreds bundles,
containing articles of every description to
be sold Auctioneer Radcliffe entertained
the audience during the progress of the sale.
while the cashier at the end of the counter
collected the proceeds Of the sale.
The stock to be disposed OF was arranged
on the shelves in the big auction room, and
1t gave the place the appearance of a sec
ond-hand store. The prices obtained varied
according to the quality of the goods Of
fered, and some of the packages were so
inferior that nobody would bid ON them.
One package offered early in the day con-
tanned two pillows and bed sack, and the
purchaser, who paid 10 cents for them, was
directed to leave with his purchase before
the appearance of the health officer. A
