REGULATING SALE OF MILK.
report by the Comm IssiOnerS ar
Senate Bill 4SO4

The District Commissioners today sub
mitted to the Senate District committee
report on Senate bill 1904. to regulate the
sale OF milk in the District. The Com
mlssioners suggested certain amendments
to the bill, and with their report trans
mitted one prepared by DR.. VIM. c. Wood
ward. the District health officer. in which
these amendments are recommended
In view of representations made to him
on behalf of milk dealers as to possible UNI
necessary hardship from section 4. arising
out of the difficulty of the farmer being ac-
quainted at all times with the condition
OF his cattle. DR.. Woodward recommended
that 1t be amended by the insertion of the
following proviso: Provided. That no per-
son Shall be convicted under the pro-
visions of this section who produces evil
dence satisfactory to the court before which
ne Is tried that he did not know and could
not with due diligence have obtained
knowledge of the condition of the COW
which rendered her unsuitable for the pro-
duction of milk for sale within the pro-
vision of this section

tne register q wil.S of the District of Co.
lumnta. to take effect the 1st day of

OF absence f9r thirty days"
Register Dent takes the stand that DR..
Grlfiitn has 9fen difloyal to him since the
former was induced INTO office. OF what this
alleged disloyalty consisted is not stated
other than that he, passively courtenanced
the effort to- do away with Mr. Dents
office. 1t Is pot denied, however. that the
direct reason FOR 6Esting DR.. Griffith Is to
create place for somebody else. In this
case the recipient is q very estimable gen
tIernan, Col. Rouser- who. however, comes
from Frederick county. Md. and seemingly
would have no possible claim on District
office. n ri
There is o5doubt that it required all of
Mr.. Dents ACTIVITY to save his office. under
the provision OF the proposed code, as intro
duced. doing caway' with it. Obligations
were doubtless incurged and the general eX-
pectation is that DR., Griffith will not be the
only victim in the registers office. Other
heads are expected to fall, and other i'm
portations from the outside are looked for.
The deposed deputy is veteran of the
civil war. He served with Gen. Grant from
1863 until the latter was elected President
OF the United States, and figured In many
important historical happenings. He was
appointed to a position in the office of the
register of wills in 1879, and was retained
until the present time

Will Fight the Measure.
TAX BILL A NJ E n d E d

The Senate committee on the District of
Columbia today authorized Mr.. Proctor to
make a report to the Senate without rec
ommendaton on House bill 904I. to incor-
porate the Washington Telephone Company
and to permit it to install. maintain and
operate telephone plant and exchange in
the District of Columbia.
This action was taken after the commit
tee had voted against favorable report on
the bill by a majority of one The motion
to report the bill without recommendation
was then put and adopted by majority of
one.
Every member of the committee was
present at the meeting today, with the
single exception of Senator Pritchard,
those present being Senators Mcmillan,
Gallinger. Hansbrough, Proctor. Baker.
Stewart, Wellington, Martin, Kenny, NAL
lory and Sullivan.
Argument Used in Opposition.
The argument made against an immediate
favorable report on the bill was that the
company seeking incorporation was not
yet fully Installed in Baltimore and other
places where it has undertaken to estab-
lish telephone service, and that by the next
session of Congress the committee would be
better able to judge of what that company

pressure brought to bear on the committee
by Senators that the bill be laid before the
Senate was SO great however. that the
committee. by majority of one, decided to
let the bill go to the Senate so that 1t
might be placed on the calendar where It
can be called up at any time after today.
Early Action Expected.
Senator Proctor, who reported the bill
today. will endeavor to secure consideration
on 1t at an early day, and strong effort
will be made to secure a vote on the meas
ure. 1t is believed that the bill will be
passed by the Senate If a vote is taken on
it. though it Is said it will be fought stub
borniy by both Senators Wellington and
Gallinger.
Tax Bill Amended.
The committee also decided to postpone
further action until next December on
House bill 9143. to authorize the formation
of guaranty companies in the District of
Columbia.
The House bill making taxes payable in
the District once a year, instead of in No
vember and May, was reported favorably,
with an amendment limiting such change to
the next tax year only. According to the
amendment all taxes for 10000 will be
payable in May. 1901 This action was
taken in response to a recommendation
from the collector of taxes and the Com
missioners. 1t being for the purpose of les

the coming year.

How to Get Rid of the Sparrow.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

Several articles have appeared in The
Star with regard to Kidding our city of
the English sparrow, which is a nuisance,
noisy. quarrelsome, filthy and never de-
stroying any insects on trees when 1t can
get anything else to eat and driving Off all
our song birds-a known and proved fact
The proposition to kill them Is a cruel and
bad example for the young people, but
better way is to have the nests and eggs
destroyed. 1t is said they have three
broods in a season. Have the matter at
tended 20 by men employed for the pur-
pose; not boys. If The Star will start q
subscription to raise the means to employ
such men the English sparrow will soon die
out, which would be a blessing to the COM
munity. HUMANITY.

DIRECTOR MERRIAM PLEASED.

Bubonfc Plague Fright Cause Post
pOnement Of Frisco Census.
The director of the census was entirely
pleased this morning with the condition OF
affairs. Dispatches from every one of the
states have been received, showing the en-
tire readiness of the census force to begin
work. and. this morning $1,000 enumerators
went out to take the census. Director Mer-
Ram informed The Star reporter today
that there was absolutely no hitch In any
branch of the service, that every one Of the
preliminary plans had matured, and that
the prompt taking of the census was now
assured.
Word was received from San Francisco
today to the effect that the health board
had granted the enumeratOrS permission OF
ingress and egress in the bubonic plague in
fected districts, but as condition prece-
dent to this permission the enumerators
must all be inoculated with the anti-toxine
serum. 1t is now the purpose of the director
to postpone the taking of the census in the
Chinese quarters of San Francisco until the
condition very materially Improves, so that
1t may be stated authoritatively that the
enumerators will not be compelled to take
the anti-toxine treatment, but will wait
until they can go into the district WITH
perfect safety to themselves and to the
community.
If yesterday was q busy day at the CEN
sus office. today was the busiest in its his
tory, and, perhaps, will be the red letter
day of the entire term Appointment CLERK
Langley was kept busy from early morn
ing until its close answering the inquiries,
making arrangements for examinations
and filling out appointments. Several nun
bred additional clerks were added to the
force today, which now numbers some
1,40O. There Is considerable pressure being
brought to bear Just at this time for po-
sitions. and the office force Is being taxed
filling out requests for examinations and
ordering applicants before the examining
board. Chief Srinson of the supervisors
correspondence division slept with his
work last night, Upon him devolves one
of the most important features OF the
census, and thus far he has shown Won
derful aptitude in the handling of the
many details that belong to his depart
ment He has organized with cons1derapie
ability the entire. supervision force, ana
has personally seen to it that the enumer-
and all of THIS work added to the super
vision of the correspondence gives faint
idea of the magnitude of his work.
For six months now everything In the
census will be pushed in order to get in the
returns, that the counters may get to work
with the machines to give the exact hs-
ures of the population. Many of the clerks
at the census office are working overtime,
and the strain is intense. There does not
cause most OF the clerks are trained in the
particular work and it is impossible to
put in green hands to assist them Direc-
tor Merriam, however, is not unmindful OF
the sacrifice that is being made by the
ladies, and a. record of efficiency is being
kept, which will redound to their good
when the time for promotion comes about.

THE JAPANESE INVASION.
Nine Hundred Arrive on Two Steam
ers MT Victoria. h. G.

Commissioner General Powderly has re-
ceived telegram and letter from Robert
Watchorn, supervising special immigrant
inspector at Tacoma, Wash, saying tina.
two steamers have arrived at Victoria, Il.
c., within the last two days with 800 Jap
anese Immigrants on board. They pre-
sumaby went to Victoria to avoid deporta-
ton. An inspection of arrivals at Tacoma
by the steamer Glenogle resulted in fifty
Japanese being ordered deported.
Mr.. Watchorn says that sentiment in the
west is strongly against the invasion of the
Japanese. Political conventions held in the
west so far have vigorously declared III
favor of restricting or prohibiting Japanese
immigration. Mr.. Watchorn. however. does
not fully identify himself with the idea
that this invasion is unmiXed evil. He
says that the japanese are clearly, indus
trious and have some money. He believes
that there is unlawful immigration ill
progress, but does not consider that the
danger is as great as represented by west
crn people
