DECLARES HIS CLAIM JUST.
Murdoch McPhee's Reply to Advers,
RenOEt of CQmniiakiauera.

Murdoch McPhee's Reply to Adverse
Report of Commissioners.
Murdoch McPhee has written to the Dis
trict Commissioners asking that they re-
consider his claim for damages from the
flooding Of the cellar of 221 Pennsylvania
avenue southeast as a result of the re-
moval of the curb for the purpose of lay
ing a new sidewalk. Mr.. McPhee acknowl-
edges receipt of an adverse communication
on the subject from the Commissioners and
says:
II am much surprised at your finding the
owner Of the premises guilty Of contribu-
tory negligence in permitting the cesspool
to become filled with coal and dust, etc.
Is not your honorable body aware that
there is no regulation requiring q cesspool
or trap to be placed in cellars or base
ments? In fact, your engineer department
discourages as much as possible the plac-
ing of such cesspools or traps. l have sub
mitted a very moderate claim for damages
and have waited patiently for a settle
ment. The claim is just one and l am
confident that no contributory negligence
on the part Of the owner or occupant of
the premises can be shown. In the absence
of a favorable reply, 1 will be reluctantly
obliged to bring suit

EVEN TALK IS ENJOINED.
Labor Leaders Confronted by n Con-
necticnt Jndge's Decisi0n.

An injunction which, IL is claimed, is
broad enough to prohibit BARRIERS from
talking has been issued by federal judge
at Ansonia Conn, against the striking
nachinists of that place.
President O'COnnell of the International
Association of Machinists will fight this in
Junction through the courts. He says II is
the broadcast restraining order that has
ever been issued against a labor organiza-
zion in this country. 1t goes so far to
prevent citizens from discussing the strike
In private conversation under penalty of
arrest and President O'COnnell says that
a barber was actually stopped from dis
cussing the strike with a customer he was
shaving under penalty of prosecution.
There have been twenty-five injunctions
issued against the machintsts during their
strike in different sections of the country
Cleveland, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wis; Lock-
port. N Y: Senaca Falls N Y; Boston
and Ansonia, Conn. Legal proceedings
have been begun by the machinists in sew
eral of these cases, and Mr.. O'Connell says
the matter will eventually be brought to
the Supreme Court.
A settlement was reached yesterday be-
tween the striking shop employees of the
Seaboard Air Line and the company
The men returned to work this morning
The strike was for an increase in pay and
at the conference held yesterday at Ports
mouth, Va, 10 which the settlement was
reached, Mr.. MCGEE. superintendent of mo-
tive power for the road, agreed to Increase
wages from 10 to 80 cents day all along
the line. In all shops north of Abbey Vile,
8. c., there is to be uniform rate Of 27ia
cents an hour. South of Abbeyville the
rate will be 80 cents an hour The appreu-
tice question was also satisfactorily ad-
3usted The nine-hour day has been the
prevailing work day on this road for some
time.

COMPLAINT ABOUT OWL CARS.
Reasons Why They Sometimes Run On
East Track AIone

The District Commissioners have received
a satisfactory report from L. P. Bradshaw
OF the engineer department, in regard to
the complaint of Lieut. Swindells of the
seventh police precinct that the Metropoi-
tan Railroad Company was, during certain
hours after midnight, running it's "owl
cars both east and west on the eastbound
track. Mr.. Bradshaw, in his report. which
has been approved by the Commissioners.
says:
THE running Of cars as reported herein,
It Is found upon investigation, was owing
to the temporary suspension Of operation
over certain section of the track, pending
the cleaning of the conduit A machine is
used in the work, which appears to be nee
essary as we'll for sanitary reasons as for
the maintenance of proper operating con-
ditions. 1t is the purpose Of the COMPANY
to do this cleaning about once in four
months. and at such times to confine the
work to the interval between 80 am and
. am, In view OF which it is recommended
that at such times permit be issued upon
the company's application, good for such
length Of time as will be required to do
the work.

The Morning Glory Beetle.
the Editor of The Evening Star:


Having read LIS letter requesting the
name of the curious insect that Is eating
the leaves Of the morning glory and other
vines around the city. believe 1 can give
him some enlightenment about the pest. 1t
ls the larval or caterpillar stage Of the
morning glory beetle, Coptocycla aurichal-
cea. which may usually be found on the
under side Of the leaves of the plant in
tested by Its young. The full-grown in
sect when found is usually of q brilliant
gold color. which changes to q milky and
then to yelowish-brown color after being
caught. The adult beetle is about a quar-
ter Of an inch long and even more turtle
like In its actions than it's Iarva. for upon
the slightest disturbance Of It's rest IT
draws its head and legs under the trans
parent shell which covers 1t and falls to
the ground or takes to flight, as the fancy
strikes 1t. have never heard OF its being
sufficiently troublesome as to REQUIRE ex-
termination, but as both the adult and the
larva are vegetarians and live upon the
same plants. should think that heIlebore
or any good insect powder applied to the
infected plants would be SUFFICIENT to dis
courage Its attacks. The larva is also
eaten by the grubs of some of our ladv
ougs. FRANK A. McDERMOTT.

letters We're folded right side out instead
OF In. Many business letters are SO brief
that, If folded right side out and inclosed
In large envelopes, the contents and source
could be gathered as they are taken out of
envelopes AT present most business let
tiers are harder to get at than formerly
because. being copied and folded while
damp. the creases dry hard and stiff. An
advantage of folding letters as suggested
above, to persons who do not keep regular
letter file cases, is that they can be easily
identified at any time. The writer has for
years, adopted this plan: put envelope in
waste basket (or, if a possible reference
to it may be desired, lay 1t in the letter.,
fold letter right side out with heading and
date or writer's name in sight, desired,
and place In pigeon hole or package.
(When answered, indorse date thereof on
corner). / have found that l can get let
ter / need in at least one-tenth of the
time l could when they were put away in
envelopes.
The practice of folding letters face in
originated in a desire to avoid publicity
and soiling but few envelopes in use new
are so thin as to be transparent, and prac-
tees are more clearly than formerly, es
pecially, when sand used to absorb
surplus ink before the invention of blotting
paper. How many people remember when
sand was usedD PROGRESSIVE.

Free Ice for the Poor.

To the Editor OF Inc Evening start
The plan proposed by Mr.. Harry Park.
GIG F street northwest. to provide ice for
the poor is worthy Of the very highest
commentator. In the large cities Of the
Union the most prominent daily newspa-
pers open a subscription department for
this purpose, and vie with each other in
the collection of a fund which is nerci-
fully applied to alleviate suffering. The
writer would suggest that all the ice com
panies of the District have printed and for
sale to their patrons scent Ice coupons,
and supply their delivery men with them.
in order that charitably disposed patrons
may invest in as many as their means or
inclinations permit, to be distributed by
said persons to deserving cases within
their own knowledge or neighborhood. 1t
Ia undeniable that in this way a much
broader field can be reached. AS 1t Is 1t Is
narrowed to the American Ice Company or
contributions direct to Mr.. Parks office.
Would it not be possible for an ice depot
to be established in each Of the various
sections of the city where, without further
trial, the poor could exchange their cou-
pons for the cooling commodity? 1t is a
project worthy of the philanthropfc. and
tbs labor attached should not be left upon
the shoulders OF any one man.
