sion of the Schley court of inquiry
was held today. An adjournment un-
til Monday was taken at l o'clock in
order to allow counsel to rest after
the arduous weeks labor. Practical

witness was reported to have, de-
tailed to a newspaper correspondent.
The correspondence has been pub

RIGHT TO INSPECT RECORDS.
Ruling by Justice Ciabaugh in Suit
fer Damages.


Justice Clabaugh of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, in the case of
Rosina Bakersmith against the District of
Columbia, today ruled that a citizen in
jured, result of the negligence of the
District, has right to inspect the public
records for the purpose of examining docu-
ments, orders and reports connected with
the work whose faulty construction is al
legged 90 have resulted in the accident. It
is stated that the legal representatives of
the District of Columbia have asserted the
right to bar excess to the records wherever
the purpose was to obtain documents which
might be damaging to the District in the
trial of case. They conceded the right to
discovery in cases of contracts, but denied
it where the suit was for personal injuries
The plaintiff claims that she sustained
injury by falling into a sewer or culvert
built by the District across Brightwoed
avenue near Richmond street. AS she wsy
walking home the pavement suddenly coll
lapsed under her, she maintains and she
was precipitated into the sewer beneath.
In her declaration she sets forth that the
accident was due to the fact that an open
ing had been made in the top of the sewer
for manhole, and that when this inten-
tion to provide an air space was aban-
doned the top of the sewer was covered
over the board. which in course of time
retted and caused the pavement above it to
give way.
In passing upon the motion, which was
made by Attorney Chas. H. Merillat, coun-
sci for Mrs. Bakersmith, Justice ClabauRh
said he would rule that a person having
an interest in the District records en-
titled 20 an inspection Of any doeulehts,
orders and reports forming part Of the
official records in the matter.
Attorney Clarence A. Brandenberg, Of
counsel for the District OF Columbia, gave
notice that when the order which Justice
Clabaugh Indicated he would sign shall be
recorded, special appeal to the Court OF
Appeals will be prayed for the purpose of
securing ruling on the question by the
anpei1afe O0a,rfs ~.

There isn't an idle carpenter in town,
nor an idle painter or paper hanger,
nor in fact is there an idle man of any
profession or calling-not unless he
prefers that kind of life. Laboring
men are in great demand. One man
who was receiving $3.50 day for chop
ping wood was secured for another
kind of work for $500 day. Of course
he is an unusual good workman, but it
shows what good man can command,
and that Hot Springs is not SO slow
this season. 1t looks as though this
state of affairs might last some time
too. There is no need Of any impor
tation of men that we know of, for it is
better that those here be employed
than that there be three or four men
for every job. It is indeed a happy
state of affairs to have everybody busy
and attending to their own affairs,
rather than keeping themselves occu-
pied attending to other peoples affairs
| -as is sometime the case in some CON-
munities.

No broader distinction can be::made
between men than that which divides
them into two classes. To the first
class belong those who always have a
good excuse why the thing required
cannot be done The second class is
composed of those who manage to DO.
Foremost in this latter class stands out
the figure of General DeWet. Allen
Sangree, who has just returned from
the Transvaal, draws vivid picture of
the character of this most remarkable
general of modern times for the May
Cosmopolitan, and the article is illus
trated with the most complete collec-

mable family will return soon to
Kingsbury county, S. d. He has been
connected with the Hcme for about
six years and has made number of
warm friends by his courteous manner
and attentiveness to duty. Upon nu-
merous occasions he has had the care
of the Home entirely upon him, during
the absence of the commandant, and
always seemed to get along nicely with
everything and everybody. His re-
ports to the national inspector have
been most highly complimented. For
these qualifications he has held the po-
sition of adjutant during the entire
populistic regime, though he has al
ways been a staunch republican.

carried by the company is also above

all the more enjoyable. But the spec
ialties such an array of high class
talent has never before graced the

Vaudeville is certainly the sweetest
and best child artist that has visited
this city. Nothing less can be said of
Daisy Vaudeville, whose rich contralto
voice brought forth vociferous ap-
plause. Jack O'Brien in his eccentric
tumbling was SO extremely funny as to
cause roars of laughter throughout his
turn. And last, the Downies, the fea-

not be said in commendation of their
