NATTER OF OVERHEAD WIRES.
MIR. Peterson Wants Decision on Cues.
ton Submitted.

Mr.. August Peterson chairman of the
Columbia Heights CitizeEs' Association
committee on overhead wires today called
the attention Of the District Commissioners
to the fact that the ODD of last June he ad-
dressed them on matter Of the greatest
interest to a large number of residents of
the District in relation to the Illegal string
ing of overhead wires on Chaplin street.
mo answer" wrote Mr.. Peterson today
being received 1 again on July 26 called
your attention to the same. With military
promptnesse DR.. Tindal acknowledged this
communication, stating that the matter
would receive due consideration by the
Commissioners. Again waiting to hear from
you until October 90, 1 called your atten-
ton to my letter, which was promptly an
swered by Dr. TindaN to the effect that
due consideration would be given to the
subject by the Commissioners.
Il must admit that the question sub
mitted to the Commissioners is very diff
cult to answer but it ought not to take al
most seven months to reach a conclusion
in regard to the same. I still maintain
that during the last few years you have
had no authority to grant licenses for the
wholesale stringing of wires erection of
new po'es on Chaplin street, or elsewhere
outside the city limits. and 1 take this
opportunity to call your attention to the
TACT tnat the recent decision or Judge
Barnard does not either egalize or JUS
tify the wires strung and poles erected
during the last few years, or confer any
authority on the Commissioners at the
present time to license these illegalities to
be continued How and by what methods
and for what purposes the recent decision
Of Judge Barnard was obtained is, of course,
We'll known to you, but l maintain, and l
am willing to test the question legally,
that this case of which you make such
liberal use was not a fair test as to your
powers in the premises. and I have enough
confidence in the good judgment of your
legal adviser. Mr.. Duvall, that he also will,
If you care to submit the question to him.
decide it in the same way.
The charitable and kindly disposition
toward the poor of the District by the Com
missioners is we'll known, and l hereby
agree to send you a certified check for
500, to be used for any charitable object
you may designate on condition that Mr..
Duvall your legal adviser, CONSTITUTES the
recent decision of Judge Barnard to convey
to you the power to grant licenses to erect
new telephone poles and new lines of wire
outside Of the city limits

WASHINGTON SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
Methods Which Govern . Highly Meri-
tOFiOus Institution.


tOFiOus Institution.
Educational methods underwent no less
a complete revolution in the nineteenth
century than other branches of human
endeavor. Practical work in library and
laboratory replaced routine textbook study
and physical development became requi-
site accompaniment of Intellectual training.
These advanced purposes are the basic
principles upon which the Washington
School for boys has been founded. Its edu-
cational ideals are high and 1t Is as fully
awake to it's responsibility as 1t is to its
opportunities.
BY It's location on the heights overlook
ing Washington 1t possesses advantages
possible only in the country-foot ball and
base ball fields, tennis and basket ball
courts, standard Quarter-mile track and
golf course of nine holes, and yet is near
enough to the city for a pupil to reach 1t
by convenient electric lines A we'll equip
ped gymnasium affords opportunity for
daily physical training.
Under the arrangement of studies pc
culiar in the Washington school. a special
course Is mapped out for each pupil. He
is thus able to take those branches for
and which will best fit him for that work
which he is to undertake when he leaves
the school.
In the home life of the boarding pupils,
in its method of instruction, in it's large
and well-trained faculty, in its building
erected especially for it and in many other
ways the Washington school aims to put
into practice, along educational lines, the
ideals OF the twentieth century.

OBJECTS TO EXAMINATION.
Local Plumbers Alleges Prejudic>
Against Him in hoard.

Against Him In Board.
Mr.. John NJ. McAvoy, a local plumber, re-
Gently stated to the District Commissioners
that he objects to appearing for examina-
tion before the plumbing board. stating
that, while he Is not afraid to appear be-
fore any fair-minded body OF men, there
are men on this board who are my most
bitter personal enemies, and who, 1 feel,
would be only Zoo happy to do anything
that would tend to humiliate me-" Mr..
McAvoy said that during the thirty-ive
years he has been connected with the
plumbing business his work has never been
rejected, and that he has never violated
any Of the rules and regulations, and he
therefore asked that his license be contin-
ued.
Mr.. Charles B. Ball, the inspector Of
plumbing. has reported to the Commission
ers that Mr.. McAvoy has been notified
more than once to appear before the plumb
ing board for examination, and has been in
formed that his fears as to injustice being
done him are unfounded that his examine
ton would be a written one, which would
be reviewed by the Commissioners, and that
thus any display of prejudice on the part
Of the examiners would easily be detected.
Upon Mr.. Balls suggestion Mr.. McAvoy
will receive a similar answer to his recent
communication.

LEAVE FOR NAVY YARD MEN.
SfrOnG Efforts Being Made to Pass
Pending BILL

Employees of the Washington navy yard,
as well as of all other navy yards in the
United States. are very much interested in
the bill introduced in the Senate and House
by Senator Elkins and Representative Day
ton, respectively. granting such employees
fifteen days annual leave of absence with
pay, sick leave to be deducted from the
same.
The representatives OF the employees who
are urging the passage of the measure call
attention to the fact that per diem en-
ployes of the bureau of engraving and
printing and of the government printing
office are allowed annual leave with pay.
and they state that the navy yard employees
are the only ones in the government serv-
ice who do not receive annual leave. A
strong effort is being made for relief from
this discrimination.
