PROTECTION OF OWNERS.
Absence of Provision in Pennsylvania
Railroad Bill.

The District Commissioners today inform
ed Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the SEN
ate District committee, that their attention
has been called to the fact that the bill to
eliminate grade crossings along the line Of
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad does
not contain any provision for the protection
of owners Of property on streets to be
closed. By an oversight this phase Of the
question was not touched upon In their re-
port on the bill. 1t was however, brought
to their attention by the representatives of
the Fifth Baptist Church, and the Commits
sioners addressed the Senate District COM
mittee on the subject the 10th of last Feb
ruary.
AS the bill is at present worded 1t would
be possible, they state, for the railroad
company to close the street in front of GER
tain private properties without purchasing
the same, thus deprivng the owners of
access to their property. In order to pro-
tect these, the Commissioners today recon-
mended that the following amendment be
added at the end of line 2, page 0, Of the
bill, as reported by the committee:
And provided further, That no portion
OF any street shall be closed under author
tty of this act until said railroad company
Shall have secured control of the property
AUDITING upon said portion to be closed 1t
being the intent hereof that no property
owner shall be deprived of egress from or
1ngreSS to his property"

Young's Academy. He afterward took up
the study of civil engineering and the law
in California. At the breaking out of the
Spanish-American war, having been identi-
fed many years with the California militia
and in command of the color company of
the 9TH California, he left his law practice
in Los Angeles and served with that regi-
ment until honorably mustered out at the
close Of the war. Shortly afterward he re-
ceived his commission captain in the
35th United States Volunteer Infantry, Col.
now generaD Kobbe, organized at VAN
couver barracks, Washington, going from
there to Manila. Captain Langworthy S
regiment served with distinction under Cen
eral Lawton throughout his great campaign
in northern Luzon, resulting in the defeat
and flight of Aguinaldo. The hardships and
exposure of that campaign and many sub
sequent night expeditions after guerrilla
bands sowed the seeds of malarial fever
which caused Captain Langworthy's death
at Balinag, in northern Luzon, February
81 last. He leaves widow and two chill
dren, who accompanied his remains from
California.
Captain Langworthy's record as a soldier
is best expressed in the conclusion of the
general order of his commander announc-
ing his death to the regiment. He was
brave, capable, efficient and untiring in his
efforts to properly care for his men, to the
extent of very trying self-denial. In this as
well as his energy and zeal in the perform
ance of duty he was an example We may
all follow with advantage"

SUGGEST AMENDMENT.
Action on Bill for Improvement of
Navy Yard Bridge

In a report submitted by them TODAY TO
the Senate District committee on Senate bill
39iI, for the improvement of the NAVY Yard
bridge, the Commissioners recommended
that the proposed measure be amended so
as to provide for the rebuilding of the str,,c-
ture.
The bill proposes an appropriation Of $780,
GOO to widen and strengthen the bridge. the
substructure of which, the Commissioners
state, is known to be somewhat defective,
the truss being made that additions to IT
are not practicable. The proper and, in
fact, the only practicable course to pursue
in their opinion, is to rebuild the bridge, for
which purpose they have several times re-
quested an appropriation.
1.-The present bridge say the Commits
sioners; lis quite inadequate, and a new
bridge should be provided at as early a date
as possible. The Commissioners would,
therefore, recommend that the bill be
amended SO as to provide for the same;
that an Appropriation of $100, 600 be made 10
start the work. in accordance with plans pre-
pared by the Commissioners and approved
by the Secretary of War, and that the Com
missioners be authorized to contract for the
completion of the work at a total estimated
cost Of $4,000 to be paid from time to
time as appropriations may be made by
law
