our notice by the Associated Charities
agents. and all clerxymen and charity
workers are asked to report cases.
The Instructive Side.
I'VE lay much stress upon the instructive
side OF our work. We are prepared for
slow returns. but We can see that we are
accomplishing something In this direction.
Our nurses are getting quite reputation
for inspiring the people with ideas Of clean
illness. Lately one Of our nurses was called
upon by one of the doctors with the COM
forting remark. Come. Miss -, / have
the dirtiest sort of a family for you. See
what You can do with them One Of the
nurses has apparently revolutionfzed an
other family. where the most squalid sur
roundings prevailed and with which family
the charities agents had labored faithfully
but In vain for three years.
There seem to be peculiarly confiden-
ttal relations quickly established between
the nurse and the poor people She is not
dispenser Of funds, therefore begging is
not in order, and there Is no incentive to
assembling. She has come to minister
with her own hands to their aching sur
fering bodies. and with the way thus won
to their hearts and gratitude she becomes
q privileged person for good in their midst.
again. the health officer has in the nurse
an important agent for discovering culpa-
Bile neglect on the part Of landlords of the
insanitary conditions of their poor dwell
tngs."

partment and the exhibition of the famous
gold statue of Maude Adams, the clever
and widely admired actress. And while the

lance in the annals of local exhibitions, the
admira ton it has elected on all sides, here
and ELSEWHERE. is hardly greater than that
expressed today by the callers at kanns
when viewing the magnificent millinery ex-
hibit and prize display which Is being made
in the beautiful parlors on the second floor

lions.
One hundred feet of show windows. IN
GLIDING nine great sections. have been given
over to what is pronounced to be the most
extensive and elaborate window display of
womans headgear ever seen south OF
Philadelphia. The exquisite bonnets have,
been arranged with an idea of artistic har-
mony. being grouped according to color

match and form effective backgrounds.
This window display is a sort of catalogue
to what may be found within. dfspla wing

sfoners Of the District, have written the
District Commissioners stating that they
are in favor of law requiring all Hour to
be inspected.
I'VE are," state the hour commissioners,
decidedly In favor Of -four inspection for
several reasons. Many Of the packages
received from the various mills are light
In weight. Then there is the grade or
quality. which must be given strict atten-
ton by the buyer. particularly SO this
year. The receivers Of -four object to be-
ing compelled to have It inspected when It
arrives unless they think 1t unsound, be-
cause it costs cent per barrel to have It
inspected. On the other hand, the con-
sumner ought to be protected against dis
honest mfllers and johbers In -four, and we,
therefore. recommend to your honorable
body that you appoint a competent flour
Inspector"
The commissioners then suggest the name
OF man who. they say, can meet all re-
qutrements expected of such an official.
I'VE would also suggest" they continue,
that the Inspector be paid q salary of $100
per month out of the funds OF the District
government. He should inspect all the
irrespective OF the style OF packages in
order to determine its purity. soundness
and weight.
The law Of inspection, when operative.
should be enforced, and those persons who
evade its provisions should be punished
for each and every offense If. however,
a hour receiver sends for the -four tnspec--
tor and desires to have certain flour In
spected, such receiver should pay / cent
per barrel as a fee, whether In wood, jute,
cotton or paper packages, and the money
SO collected should be paid into the treas
ury OF the District at such times as be
designated by you
The suggestions made by the flour COM
missioners will be duly considered by the
Commissioners, but it is understood that
there would be no appropriation specff-
ca1ly setting apart funds for the payment
OF the recommended flour inspector, should
they desire to appoint such an officer.

The Schooner G. A. White Rum Down
by Margaret ID. Roper.

by Margaret b. Roper.
PHILADELPHIA, March 49,. The
schooner Margaret B. Roper. Captain
Cranmer, arrived here early today and re-
ported that she colIided with and sank the
schooner C. A White, from Philadelphia
for Boston, yesterday on Absecon, N. ].
This clears up the mystery Of the Collision
reported yesterday by the crew of the life
saving station at Great Egg Harbor, N
]. All of the crew Of the White were
rescued by the Roper and brought to this
city. Captain Cranmer says the only dam
age his vessel sustained was the loss of
her jib boom.
The collision occurred at 1918 yesterday
morning. The White was struck on the
port side forward Of the main rigging, and
went down in about ten minutes. She had
all sails set, and they now show about
twenty feet out of the water.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-The C. A.
White was three masted schooner Of 731
tons net register. She was built at Bath
Me, In 1894. and was 1883 feet long, 80

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, March Is.-The demand for
stocks from pools. commission houses and
the public resulted in a more active market
today than at any time in several weeks.
An classes OF stocks including the steel
group, which has been dormant for a fort
night, were taken In round amounts The
total dealings for the first three hours Az
gregated LIoe.oo0 shares, a total consider
ably in excess OF any recent full day Real
| king was something OF a feature at times,
and there can be no doubt that proft-tak-
ing by certain Influential interests was in
progress upon a liberal scale during the
active periods.
The first incentive to the new activity
was the steady buying of Burlington by
All sorts OF rumors were In circulation as
TO the cause OF the demand. but none OF
them seemed 70 be wholly acceptable
Pennsyfvanis was said to be buying for
control, and brokers frequently used by
that company were active in the Buritng-
ton crowd. Good judges also found some
reasons for seriously regarding the lease
or Burlington under a guarantee by North
ern PACING and Great Northern
The late strength OF the Erie issues the
supposed eastern link in this system. tended
to confirm the latter view.
Reading issues were strong also during
the coal field were probably quite az re-
sponsibls for the rise were the CONSOLE
dalton rumors. Erie and Reading issues
reflect curious preference for the COM
mon and second preferred shares as the
result OF the pending policy Of the INSIDE
interests.
1t Is reasonably certain that dividends on
the second preferred shares will be earned II
present business holds
The southwestern group, under the leader
ship OF Missouri Pacific. was strong, with
the exception OF Wabash, in which no spe-
cial effort waa apparent. Atchison is
sues were well bought and In this oonneo-
ton rumors OF Pennsylvsnia buying were
heard. Something Of Importance IN ad-
oftfon to dividend prospects Is undoubtedly
In progress In this property.
The Traction stocks were the second
features OF the market, Vanderbilt buying
or Manhattan being reported and believed.
The price responded easily and new buy
ing came into the entire group. The ad-
vance was not without evidences of mantp-
ulatlon, but the buying was frequently good
In character.
The Steel stocks were all strong the Is
sues Included In the new company selling
up to new high levels and the new stocks
gaining In price on the curb The compa-
MES not in the consolidation were also very
strong under an improved demand
The market reacted slightly around de-
livery hour, but confidence In higher prices
AND in the early announcement of new
deals served to keep sentiment optimistic

GIVEN THE RIGHT OF WAY
PR0CEEDaNGs IN CONNECTION WITH
THE POTOMAC FLATS.
United States Attorney to Give the
Matter Immediate Attention
Conference SugRested.

The United States attorney for the Dis
trict Of Columbia is about to inaugurate
additional proceedings Of considerable IN
tereat In reference to the local river front.
and win give the matter right of way over
the other business of the Office. By deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of the United
States title to this has been vested in the
United States The same decision. how
ever, stipulated that those who, under some
color of right. have proceeded to construct
wharves and other improvements along the
waters edge should be compensated for the
same. II required the passage OF a special
act, which was recently enacted, to make
1t legal to include In these improvements
not only wharf property from the shore
line out into the water. but the buildings
and like property on shore and used In con-
nection with that extending out over the
water.
The situation has thus reached such a
phase that United States Attorney Ander-
son may now act. He will reopen the IA
nous case of the United States against
Martin F. Morris and others before the Su-
preme Court of the District Of Columbia
sitting in general term, by formally calling
the attention OF the court to the necessity
for further proceedings The court IT is
pointed out, will direct that testimony be
taken to ascertain the values Of the wharf
property, and, of course, will give all those
interested an opportunity to be heard. The
testimony will be considered by the court
and decree framed fixing the values The
schedule will be forwarded to Congress,
with q recommendation that legislation be
enacted appropriating a sufficient amount
OF money to pay the wharf owners
When payment shall have been made the
Commissioners Of the District of Columbia
VIII assume control of the wharf property,
bill containing that provision having
already been passed The title to the river
'front.' Will. OF course. remain In the United
states, but the District Commissioners will
have charge Of renting the wharf and other
properties. 1t is stated that only a COM
paratfvely small portion of the present
wharfage section win be converted to other
uses by the United States
1t Is stated by one who Is familiar with
the subject that the court has nothing to
do directly with the question as to whom
rental money should now be paid by par
ties who have rented any of the wharf
property. The court will deal principally
with those who possessed some color of
right for having built the wharves and
other structures
In connection with the river front matter
Attorney General Griggs has addressed
communication to the Commissioners Of the
District OF Columbia. inclosing a copy of
a letter forwarded by the Attorney General
to the United States attorney for the Dis
tr1ct. The Commissioners have referred
the communication to Mr.. A B. DuvaII,
the attorney for the District Of Columbia,
suggesting that he confer with the United
States attorney relative to the situation.

to which government should take the initia-
