WHARF IN snD CONDITION.
Recomm endati0 ON tilgy Attorney DuvaH
RespectfngzIts Repair.

RespectfngaIts Repair.
The attention of thu District Commission
ere was recently invited by Lieutenant Hol-
hnberger of the police force to the alleged
dangerous condition. of the 11th street
wharf. commonly klnown as the fish
wharf" where all flxhis required under the
Old corporation ordinances to be landed
from the river boats. The wharf is now
occupied by Mr.. W. Nv. Riley, he having
secured this right from the Commissioners
for one year by virtue of being the highest
BIDDER for the prir5leEe. The wharf is re-
ported to be out of repair to such an ex-
tent as to be dangerous. even liable to col
lapse, and Mr.. Riley recently applied for
permit to repair it.
The matter was referred by the Commits
sicners to the attorney for the District,
Mr.. A. B. Duvall, who has informed them
that the case is one requiring immediate
action. He states that he has consulted
with the United States attorney for the
District upon the subject, and that while
that ofnc1al had no remedy to suggest, he
seemed to acouiesce in Mr. Duvall's sug-
gest1on that at least the United States could
file bill in equity to enjoin the further
use of a wharf. which is in a dangerous
condition.
I'm my opinion says Mr.. Duvall, I'VE
should make an effort to deal with this sit
uation, and have the honor to advise that
the inspector of buildings be directed to ex
anime this wharf, and if it is found to be
In dangerous condition to proceed in
accordance with section IA of the building
regulations. 1t may be that this section
was not designed to cover the case of a
wharf. but wharf is certainly 'struc-
ture, and 1t is within the description of
building In section 1 Of the building regu-
lations."
Sections II of the building regulations, re-
ferred to by Mr.. Duvall, provides that If,
after examination, the inspector of build
ings shall deem any structure or building,
or part thereof, or appurtenance thereto
dangerous, he shall serve upon the occu-
pants thereof notice requiring vacation
of said building structure Immediately,
and shall also serve, or cause to be served,
a notice In writing upon the owner, agent
or any party having interest in said struc-
ture requiring the same to be made safe
and secure or removed, as the inspector may
deem necessary, etc.
1t Is believed the Commissioners will
adopt the suggestion Of their legal adviser
in the matter.

A Union Station the Rational Remedy.

Manifestly it is the plain duty of Congress
to settle for all time the present squabbie
as to railway routes and station accommo-
dations in Washington, and as speedily as
possible-at once! And equally manifest IS
it that the simplest and only lasting solu-
ton of the problem is to move the Penn
sylyania station from its present location
to a point south of the mall, require great
union station to be built there, large enough
to accommodate all the railways now en-
tering or hereafter proposing to enter the
city; then compel the Baltimore and ONO
road to abandon its present tracks ana sta-
ton, and secure right of way along the
Anacostia, and enter the city over or along
side of the Pennsylvania tracks, and re-
ceive and deliver Its passengers ana 1relgnt
in the new union station. There Is no
sense in having two sections of the city
made uninhabitable, when a single route
adequately equipped will better serve all
transportation purposes, and much better
accommodate the travelling public than the
present arrangement, or any arrangement
requiring two or more stations.
AS to the propriety of moving the Penn
sylvania station south of the park 1t now
bisects and partially destroys there can be
no two OPINIONS in the minds Of intelligent
and disinterested people. Originally permit
ting the tracks to cross that public park,
which stretches from the Presidents house
to the Capitol, was gross and indefensibie
error. 1t was allowed by Congress as a re-
buke to the narrow and hoggish policy Of
the Baltimore and Ohio management at
that time, and there Is not now and there
never was the semblance of valid excuse
for it.
What would be the result let us imagine,
If the British parliament should grant the
right Of way for railway across Hyde
Park or Green Park, and allow a station to
be built public GROUNDS? 1t is hardly
too much to say that such an act would in
less than twenty-four hours bring about a
revolution that would result in mobbing
every member who voted for it, and hurl
Victoria from her throne, II necessary to
right the wrong. Yet that offense would
be no greater than the one Washington has
borne for years. And this outrage is to be
made more monstrous by the fact that the
cause Of the trouble is now trying to COM
pei the people Of Washington to pay the
cost OF certain improvements it proposes to
make in compliance with the law regulating
Its grade crossings in the interest Of public
safety.
1t is nonsense to say that Congress does
not possess the power to require these neces-
sary improvements to be made. It's author
tty is ample. 1t Is absolutely supreme in
the District of Columbia, where not only
the parks, but the streets of the city are
owned by the federal government and are
under its exclusive control. All that body
needs to do is to show the railway compa-
MES that it is in earnest, free passes or no
free passes, and they will soon get together
and find a way to reconcile their differences

THE COMING INAUGURAL.
Major Sylvester Already Considering
Police ARRANGEMENTS.


Major Sylvester has given some thought
to the matter of police arrangements for
the inaugural ceremonies, with the view Of
having every precaution taken in the mat
ter of protecting the visitors from the
work of pickpockets and the householders
from the deDredations of burglars. De-
tectives from other cities, possibly about
twenty in number, will be brought here to
work with the members of the local force.
and Congress will also be asked to provide
special policemen enough to protect all Sec
tions when it will be necessary to draw
largely from the regular force for duty in
the business portions of the city. Consid-
Grafton is being given, also, to the matter
of police arrangements at the inaugural
ball, especially regarding the protection Of
valuables; and there will be so many de-
tectiveS on hand that professional pick
pockets from any section of the country
Will be unable to escape recognition.
Hack Inspector Lamb is engaged in the
work of planning for the movement of
carriages at the Capitol, as we'll as at
the building where the ball is to be held.
Special rates and rules for vehicles will be
adopted by the Commissioners, upon the
recommendation of the hack inspector

ASK FOR SPECIAL OFFICER.
HUMANE SOCIETY SOON To PETI-
TIoN THE CITY COUNCIL.
Two Propositions for Cempe nsation
for Such service Brought Up
steps Taken Towards Preparing

The Seattle Humane Society took up
again last evening the need of this city
for a special officer to enforce humane
laws, and. decided to push the movement
already started toward securing the ap-
pointment of such a man. II also forinai-
~ decided to go before the legislature
this winter with bill calculated to fur-
ther the work OF humane societies
throughout the state.
The petitions for appointment OF an OF
ficer which are being prepared for pres
entatfon to the council We're called H.
and II was decided TO send them out
again for a few days, in order TO secure
additional signatures. The petitions CALI
ing the attention of the city council to
the aims. needs and intentions Of the
Humane Society have been actively cir
culated for a number Of days and many
signatures have been secured. II Is the
desire OF the society to have names Of
representative business people only, and
of this class many strong signatures have
been secured. The three daily papers a
number of wholesale business houses,
mills and manufacturing concerns have
given their signatures and Maj. Rubin,
who as United States auartermaster, an
nualiy handles hundreds of animals, is
one OF the signers.
After a discussion, President Hutchinson
and Secretary MacGronlund were select
ed committee TO confer with members
Of the city council to ascertain how TO
obtain the appointment of a humane Of
1cer. Two plans were presented and fully
discussed. The first suggestion was that
the council be asked TO appoint a man
TO be paid n monthly salary by the city.
Some objections to this plan exist, how
ever. as under the civil service rules IL
Is almost impossible for the council to
authorize such an appointment
The second plan calls for the, appoint
ment Of an officer by the society. This
officer should be given police authority,
and should he paid from the fines collect
ed as results of arrests made BY him
This plan Is now In successful operation

cities and has many advantages. The

sented to that body. and the matter will
be brought up at an early date.

as was presented at the last session. The
principal provisions of this bill were aim
