Congress Gives Authority for Pro-
ceedinE in Potomac Flat Cases.
Mr. Hugh T. Taggart, assistant United
States attorney for the District Of Column
bia, in conversation with a Star reporter
today, said that in view of the fact that the
Senate yesterday passed House bill 1866,
relative 10 the suit Instituted for the pro-
lection Of the interests of the United States
in the Potomac river flats, action will soon
be instituted in the Supreme Court OF the
District of Columbia to ascertain the values
of the wharf structures and other improve
ments.
The bill just passed provides that In as
pertaining the values of the wharf struc-
lures and other improvements used in con-
nection with Them Improvements upon ad-
joining land of the United States, but not
in or over the river, shall be considered in
like manner as improvements in or over the
river.
The bill in STIMULATING that structures and
other improvements upon adjoining land

what is viewed as an oversight on the part
of the Supreme Court of the United S ates
In handing down its opinion in the case Of
the United States against M F. Morris-the
Potomac flats case. The signing of the bill
by the President will remove the only OBJ
stace in the way Of the United States at

Charge Against Policeman.

Frank Taylor was today arraigned in the
Police Court on the charge of assaulting
Catherine Scagneln. After being taken
into custody Taylor was, 1t was alleged,
dubbed by an officer and SO seriously in
jured that Judge Scott directed that he be
taken to the Emergency Hospital for treat
ment.
Taylor declared there was not the Slight
est cause for the assault upon him. He
said he went last evening into the store
Of Frank Scagnelli in the northwest section
of the city to buy some oranges, for which
he paid if advance. Some delay occurred
In delivering the oranges. and Taylor asked
that his money be returned to him. This
was refused and Mrs. Scagnelli, he declared
pushed him out of the store. At this mo-
ment a policeman said to be Officer Yates
appeared on the scene and without making
any investigation into the matter dubbed
Taylor over the head and arms.
The officers statement differs from the
foregoing.

illustrated Lecture ON the Artist by
Miss Ellen II. LOngfellOw.

Miss Ellen 7. Longfellow, niece of the
poet, gave lecture before highly appre-
ciative audience at the Washington Clup,
ITO street northwest, last evening for the
benefit of the League of American ZEN
women and under the patronage OF the
wives of Justice Mckenna, Senators Dol
liver. Turner, Fairbanks. Martin, Mrs.
David j. Hill, Mrs. Perry s. Heath, Mrs.
A. L. Barber, Mrs. Dora Harvey Munyon.
Mrs. Donald Mclean, Mrs. Mary A. Denl-
son Mrs. Annie E. Hoyle, Mrs. Charlotte
Roge, Mrs NJ. S. Burke and Miss Caroline
L. o. Ransom.
Mrs. Morgan of the league introduced
Miss Longfellow, stated the object of the
lecture and its fitness upon that day, being
the birthday anniversary of the poet.
Albrecht Durer. the subject of the lecture,
she said, was a son of Albrecht Durer {call-
ed the elder, to distinguish him from his IL
lustrious SOM, goldsmith, who came from
the village of Eytas, in Hungary, and set
tied In Nuremberg in 1455. His great pic.
ture of the Feast of the Rose Garlands'
silenced those who said that while he was
good at engraving, he did not know how
t. use his colors.' Difficulties with Hell
Ter about his great altar piece, the AS
sumption of the Virgin, painted Tor Hell
was completed after Durer's return to Nu-
remburg The Alteration of the Holy
Trinity now in the Uffizi gallery at Flor
ence, Italy, was by many considered worthy
of comparison with RaphaeIs famous Dis
pute of the Sacrament" He was the au-
thor of many fine portraits. Durer's later
years were clouded by illness and discour-
agement. He stands high as painter, but
his best work was his engravings. His last
work was the panels of the -Four Apos-
ties" legacy to his native city. 1t was
a remarkable fact that his townsmen failed
to appreciate his pictures sufficiently to re-
X, how, thoJv ~ip sod oY1o
sell such to foreign potentates, thus leaving
his native city with little to show In the
future of one of the most interesting artists
of Germany.
By invitation Miss Longfellow will repeat
this lecture at the Dumbarton Club next
week

Sidewalk Filth.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In looking over some back numbers of
The Star few days ago I came across an
article severely condemning ladies for the
filthy habit of wearing long gowns on the
street, as being dangerous as well as Often
sive. The writer said none too much on
the subject. Indeed, he stopped too soon.
He should have told the ladies of what par
ticular thing they were in danger.
VIII you kindly allow me to add some
thing to this article to make it more en-
phatic? Yesterday morning l had occca-
sion to walk on the porth side of f street
between 7th and 9th streets. Picking my
way slowly and carefully along counted
ITO fresh eXpectoratiOnS on this short piece
of sidewalk. Now, we ladies can manage
our skirts, but we have no wings, and we
must wear shoes. If we go to the country
in summer we need not ramble through
the hen house nor walk the length and
breadth of the COW barn, but were l to
object to this and could calmly and with
out complaint walk on some of the side
walks of this city l would be ashamed to
look hen in the face
Much money is expended every year in
cleaning and keeping clean the middle OF
our streets. while poison that would make a
dog sick is allowed to fall unrebuked on the
sidewalks. Why in the name Of common
decency cannot law be enacted to make 1t
a punishable offense to deposit this Vilest or
all filth on the pavements Of our beautiful
city which might be madenthe cleanest IN
the world?
In the far west the lovely little city Of
Spokane, with it's 20,0Oe inhabitants, has an
ordinance prohibiting people from expec-
torating on the sidewalks as well as in pub
lie buildings and conveyanees, the penalty
for violating this law being a heavy fine.
Such is the law in other western cities, and
in many in the east including Boston,
where delinquents are sometimes severely
DEATH with.
The laws of the District Of Columbia pro-
hibit expectoration in all street cars and
in public buildings. Why not, at the be-
ginning of another clean administration
declare that a man who cannot regulate
his habits to those of common decency
shall learn that he may not with impunity
commit acts on our public streets that
should bring the blush, of shame to the
cheek of a true gentleman? H E. A.

Will Take No Further Action.

1t is understood that no further action
will be taken by the District Commission
ers as to the proposed theatrical perform
ances here next Sunday evening, and it
will be left for the managers of the local
theaters TO decide whether their houses will
be opened, and, if so, the character of the
performances. 1t was reported to the Com
missioners today that Manager Herman of
the Lyceum will probably keep his house
closed that the performers at Chases New
Grand Will appear in street costumes, and
that there will be nothing on the program
but instrumental and vocal music. What
the other houses will do the Commissioners
do not know.

DIR. DANZIGER'S LECTURE ON THE
GHETTO."-Dr. Danzigers lecture upon
The Ghetto in New York is announced
for tomorrow evening at the Washington
Club. The topic is new-that is to say. DR..
Danziger appears to be the first explorer of
this region who has emerged with valuable
information concerning a mass of people
who are practical opponents of the thought
and customs prevalent before Jerusalem
fell into the hands of the Romans. The
ghetto is more than 1000 years behind the
times In many things, but in business it is
quite up to date. A little information con-
corning it will not be amiss for statesmen
and theologians.
