You may announce in The Star this

president Of the Capital Traction Company,
to 4 reporter of The Star today, that We
have decided to voluntarily inaugurate an
ail-night service on the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and 18th street branches of our line
therefore, so far as the Capital Traction
Company Is concerned, 1t will not be neces-
sary for Congress 10 act in the matter as
We have decided to take this step volun-
tarily, because Of the representations made
to us by our patrons that an all-night SER
vice Is very much desired by them This
service will be inaugurated Immediately
after the regular schedule closes tonight,
and the cars on the two lines / have
mentioned will be run every half hour be-
tween the close of the regular schedule,
about 1:3o o'clock am. and $50 am, at
which last mentioned hour the regular four

IL was stated this afternoon that the ex-
ample OF the Capital Traction Company in
this matter of an all-nieht service will be
followed on the Metropolitan, Columbia and
possibly others of what are popularity
known as the syndicate lines" Inquiry at
the office Of Mr. George Truesdell, the pres

oped the fact that no such order had up to
that time been issued, although it was no,
denied that such order will be issued
now that the Capital Traction Company

JUSTICE TO A SOLDIER.
The President Amends the Civil Ser
vice Rules.

The President Amends the Civil Ser
vice Rules.
The President has amended civil service
rule. II by adding to section the following
proviso:
"And provided further, that nothing con-
talned in this rule or in any regulation
made in pursuance thereof shall be so con-
strued so as to prevent an appointing off,
Ger, in his discretion, from promoting a
person who served in the military or naval
service of the United States in the late war
OF the rebellion, or in the Spanish-American
war, and who was honorably discharged
therefrom, who has been reinstated in the
service TO grade or position below that
from which he was separated to a grade
or position no higher than that from which
he was separated"
The particular case which brought about
this amendment was that of a 81, GOO clerk
VINO enlisted in the army during the war
with Spain, and upon his discharge asked
Tor reinstatement under the rule which per
mfts the reinstatement of soldiers without
limitation as to time he was separated from
the service. 1t happened that the only va
cancy In his particular branch of the sery-
Ice at the time he made application was
that of assistant messenger at $720 per an
num- Being In great need the soldier ac-
cepted this place on the promise that he
should receive promotion to higher grade
as soon as vacancy occurred. In the fol-
lowing week he was selected for promotion
and the civil service commission was noti-
f1ed of the fact, when it transpired that un-
der the rules Of the commission he could
not be advanced until he had served two
years as assistant messenger and then
only on condition that he pass the regular
Clerk 8 examination. The matter was
brought to the attention of the President
with the result that the rule was immedi-
ately amended as stated

GOOD FOUNDATION ANYWHERE,
Pennsylvania Avenue Affords Eligible
Sites fer Municipal Building.

Sites fer Municipal Building.
I'm my opinion" said Mr.. D. E. Nc
Comb, superintendent of the District sewer
department, to a Star reporter today
there Is not a locality on Pennsylvania
avenue where good foundation cannot be
obtained for a building. OF course, some
points on this thoroughfare would provide
much better foundation than others
Probably the greatest difficulty in securing
good one fsS a large building, such as
would be needed for municipal purposes on
Pennsylvania avenue would be met be-
tween 9Th and 10th streets. Both eastward
and westward of this locality the chances
of securing better facilities would increa Sc
But, l have stated, a good foundation
can be secured at any point on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, although, of course in some
instances, as between the streets l have
mentioned, piles would have to be driven"
Mr.. McComb has been in charge of the
sewer department for many years, and is
considered by the Engineer Commissioner
and other District authorities as being one
of the best informed men in the District
on such a subject, his knowledge having
been gained by actual experience. Mr. Nc
Combs choice Of site for the proposed
municipal building. which should be, he
believes, entirely separate and distinct from
one in which the courts should be housed
is square 4S9, which is bounded by 9TH and
9th, d and E streets. This square fronts
ioV 1eet oA u anu = streets, running to
depth of about 400 feet The District al
ready owns the southwest corner of the
square, whereon Is located the Police Court
building, the square containing about 5000
square feet.
1t is believed that the property could be
purchased for about 50 per square foot.
which would make about SOS 900, less. Of
course, that portion now occupied by the
Police Court building. But any good site
on Pennsylvania avenue would, Mr. Nc
Comb believes, be desirable for the proposed
municipal building, excepting what is
known the Washington Market site. he
tween 7th and 9th streets. This site. he
thinks, would be very Questionable
