There are fifteen brigade stations in Ber-

network OF fire alarms. From these sta
tons underground wires radiate in all direc-

great number OF alarm pillars. The alarms
are arranged for automatic working. and to

vantage to be able to maintain during the
progress of fire a good connection be-

Only a few officials are cognizant of what
Lord Salisbury said to Count Won Hatz-

But instead of doing so he used almost ex-

TEMPORARY ORDER ISSUED.
Suit for Injunction In Which District


Proceedings in equity for injunction have
been instituted in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia by the United States
Electric Lighting Company against the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia,
the Dewey Hotel Company, Nathaniel Nc
Kay, Herman NJ. Schriener and William A.
Fenwick.
The court is informed that the defendant
Schriener, in the employ of the Dewey Ho-
tel Company, is engaged In excavating
along Stanton alley, between 18th and 14th.
X and l. streets, under permit from the
District Commissioners, for the purpose of
constructing conduit from the Dewey Ho-
tel. 1896 1898. 1880 l. street, to premises
laas 1910, 1912 18th street, to be used for
the transmission of an electric current
from a private electric plant in the Hotel
Dewey.
The complainant declares that the only
authority or power vested in the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia to grant
permit for private conduits in the Dis
trict is the act Of May 26, 1900, which
provides that such conduitS small be used
only to connect the premises owned and
operated by the permittee- According to
the complainant. the Dewey Hotel Company
does not operate any one of the premises
with which it is endeayoring to connect
its electric plant, and Is precluded by the
express terms of the act from the right
to construct any conduit Hereunder.
IL is further explained by the complain
ant that under contract it has the ex-
elusive privilege of furnishing the l3th
street premises mentioned with electric light
and power service. Attorneys Darlington
and D. w. Baker represent the complain
ant.
Justice Cole has Issued temporary re-
straining order against the defendants, re-
turnable the 1st of October.

CIVIL SERVICE RECORDS.
Reform League Secretary Replies to
Comment of the Commission.

The comment of the civil service commits
sion on the recent complaint of the Civil
Service Reform League that it had refused
the latter access to certain records which
the league claims were public, has brought
forth statement from Mr.. George Ankeny
its secretary.
.The officers of the Civil Service Reform
League" says Mr.. Ankeny, deem it un-
fortunate that the majority members of
the federal civil service commission should
have explained their refusal of access to
public records to the leagues agents by
publishing a letter with reference to the
leagues latest request. containing errors of
statement that had been pointed out to
them in reply that they did not publish.
They excuse their action on the ground
that the league had already secured the
particular data for which il asked and
that, moreover. to continue TO permit its
representatives to conduct their investiga-
tions would interfere with the work of the
commissions office force. The full data re-
ferred to had not been secured, and the
question to whether it had or not in no
way affected the real issue, which was
whether records should be treated as pub
lie which had also been SO treated before
the Presidents order of May -, 1899, with
out the new and unusual reservations the
commission now seeks to impose.
I'm order to conduct its work in manner
that would not prove an interference it
may be added that experts, familiar with
these records, We're employed at the
leagues expense, and that these men had
been assured by those employees with whom
they had to deal that their presence was
not an inconvenience, but, in certain re-
| spects, an assistance.
THE action of the commission on the
single request contained in the letter it pub
lishes.' said Mr.. Ankeny, in conclusion
was by means the basis of the protest
of the league is implied. Correspondence
the general subject has been in progress
| for more than year, in fact, ever since
| the Presidents order took effect. In No
| vember, 1899 after much negotiation. ac-
| cess to certain specified classes OF records
was granted, but in July last even this was
Withdrawn. The league made one ineffect-
| ual effort to keep The commission to its
| agreement of November, 1899, and then
| published its formal protest. From cop. .es
of minutes We have received 1t appears that
Mr. Proctor, the president of the commits
| sion, has dissented from the outset from the
| position that has been taken.''

ALLEGED MISCONDUCT.
Comm 1iOnerx Receive Complaint
From an Anonymous Writer.

From an anonymous writer, supposed TO
be a woman, the District Commissioners
have received a complaint relative to the
alleged misconduct of young men and wo-
men on street cars and In other public
places The writer says that the habit of
Young men and women huggng on street
cars here has grown to such an extent that
she fears 1t will corrupt the rising genera
ton She complains that 1t Is impossible to
take a car ride to any of the suburban
places of the District without having under
observation some young man trying to see
how close he can hold his female COM
panion In his arms. These things, the writ
er says, may be right and proper, but not
to her COR his) sight.
Such conduct" says the complainant,
'if condoned and tolerated will cause sor-
row to come to the hearts of many mothers,
and / don't wonder that the Chinese minis
ter, Mr. WI, was shocked when he saw
young men embracing girls on the hay ride
at Cape May. Such conduct, among what We
consider our better class of society, should
be frowned upon. Had Minister WI taken
a ride on any of our street cars after night
fall he would have witnessed equally as
immoral sights right here In Washington
The writer begs the Commissioners to
give the matter their earnest consideration
saying that law or police regula tion pro-
hibting such alleged misconduct In street
cars is far more important than the law
which makes expectorating in the cars and
other public places an offense For, he (or
she) argues the latter can only soil the
skirts of women, while the former, in her
(or his) opinion. can lead but to the ruin of
souls.
1t is not the policy of the Commissioners
to take official notice of anonymous COM
munications, and 1t is understood they will
do nothing in this case, although they may
refer the complaint to the police depart
ment for an investigation and report as to
whether there is any ground for complaint.
1t is needless to state. perhaps, that there
is law police regulation on the sub
ject here and it can be amos authori-
tatively said that the Commissioners see
no occasion for such a law or regulation

Renatr. to the Bailey.

The torpedo boat Bailey. upon being
docked yesterday at New York, was found
to need some slight changes to fit her for
her official speed trial. A sleeve which had
slipped on one Of the propeller shafts makes
1t necessary to withdraw the shafts and
put them in shape. It was also decided
that the propellers themselves are too light
for the heavy work imposed upon them
and heavier castings will be substituted
The changes will prevent the trial OF the
boat before November
