Police Pension Case.

Major Sylvester does not take kindly TO
the question of reopening the cases OF re
tired policemen, with a view to an in
crease Of the amount of pension. He takes
the ground that when board Of officers
OF the Department have passed upon the
case and have recommended the amount
of pension TO BE- given, that 1t sets bad
precedent to reopen the case and give an
additional amount.
A ease in point is that Of retired private
f. A. H. Riuck. who recently requested that
he be allowed $50 instead o. $40 a month
pension. He based his request on the plea
that he had been upon the force eleven
years. and that the amount given him was
less than that given to others who have
been an equal or less time in the service.
Major Sylvester, after stating the views
above given, calls attention to the fact
that during the period of Private Rinck's
service he was absent from duty 414 days,
an extrayagant percentage of loss of time.
This record seems to Major Sylvester to
indicate that Rinck was retained on the
force after he was debiltated. He says
the man was often employed on light duty
and that he did not have to suffer the
rigors incident to the life of policeman.

call was made last month on the Of
fee of the Surveyor of the District TO re
survey the tract known as the Barry
Farm in Anacostia, D. c. At that time
the Surveyor stated to the Commissioners
that his office force was so busily en-
ployed that it was found impossible to ac-
cede to the request without securing out
side help. The Surveyor accordingly sug
gested a plan for the work. in which it
was proposed TO employ Messrs. Howell
& Taylor to undertake the work.
Yesterday the Surveyor informed the
Commissioners that changed conditions
had made It possible for his office to take
up the survey. Therefore he withdrew
his recommendation OF a month ago,
which had not been fully acted upon, and
suggested that the work be done by the
second assistant, with w. J. Latimer, jr.,
and the office force to aid him
The Engineer Commissioner has ap-
proved the recommendations of the Sur
veyor, and ii is understood that the
board will concur in authorizing the plan

Material for Church Floor.

The building committee Of the Street
Baptist Church has had some discussion
with the District Building Department
relative to the construction plans Of their
new church building at the corner of
Tenth and y Streets northwest. Section
Of the act of Congress to regulate the
height of buildings in the District pro-
vides that church buildings shall be OF
fireproOf construction up TO and includ-
ing the rain auditorium floor.
The building committee, Of which
Charles Werner Is chairman, has called
the attention of the Commissioners to
this regulation, and mas submitted plans
somewhat at variance Herewith. In con-
nection with the church building is to be
erected Sunday school house, and the
committee desires to be relieved of the
necessity OF making the floor Of this
structure Of freproof materials.
Col John Biddle, the Engineer Com
missioner states that he has given the
matter his personal attention, and that
he agrees with his assistant, Captain
Harding. who has charge Of the Building
Department, that the Sunday school house
should be considered a part OF the church,
and that the floor should be constructed
Of fireprcof material. He moves that the
committee be informed in accordance with
that view

Tho Waterworks PrepoaItIon

President J. 4, Conklin of the COM
mercial club has appointed his commit.
tee TO investigate the question OF city
ownership OF the water and light plant,
The committee is composed of the fol.
lowing gentlemen; Willis N. Baker,
Frank Vincent, w. H, Engan, Frank Z,
Fearl, L, A. Bigger and J, S, George,
The text Of the resolution passed by the
club is very good one and is as follows
"Be 1t Resolved That a committee.
consisting Of the president and six 9th
ers be appointed to confer with the
mayor and city council as to the adyisa-
bility of the city purchasing the water
and light plant, and opening negotia-
tons Tor that purpose, requesting the
city council to ascertain the price, terms
and conditions Of purchase, and II the
plant can be obtained at a price profit
able to the city, and which will lessen
taxation and reduce rates 10 consumers
that the mayor and council be requested
to submit proposition to the voters of
the CITY,"
II seems to be understood that the
price OF the plant is the only question in
the way. However it may be feared that
will be insurmountable, All such cor.
poration stock is watered to cover a sup
posed value of the franchise, which us
ually fixes the price at two or three times
the actual value Of the plant. Then, too
the infection of gas in the city water is a
proposition to consider, for it may re-
quire large expenditure to relieve the
water from it. 1t tmay even involve the
removal OF the gas plant, Furthermore,
the machinery was much of it placed
years ago, and compared with electrical
machinery of up.to-date pattern, is no
doubt antiquated. All these things
should be properly considered in max.
ing deal for the plant.

Hutchinson has had the unpleasant
distinction OF having a female citizen
that in unenviable notoriety and gen
eral depravity and cussedness seems to
be without peer anywhere in this west
en region, Her name Is Rose Kauf.
man, She is a married woman and has
a family Of three children, the oldest be-
ing girl of thirteen years, She was
arrested month or two ago on the
charge OF keeping a disorderly house
and was fined SIS 90. She served
twenty'sevcn days in Jail, paid about a
third of the money and was allowed to
so on her good behavior. Her husband
left her after that affair and her behav.
ior has not improved, She has been in
Hutchinson only part of the time but
when she has been here she made up in
wickedness for lost time, At least this
is what the officers believe and Thurs.
day morning she was again committed
to Jail on the old charge, Anew charge
may also be made against her, When
she was taken to jail she cried, screamed
prayed and swore till her shrieks nearly
tore the inside Of the Jail out, to use a
little example of hvperbole. She cried
for her children, She cried for her soul.
She wanted mercy from the officials and
she wanted mercy from the Lord, but
she got none from anybody so far as has
been learned, The officers thought she
was shamming They think in fact from
some of her actions she would like to get
rid Of her children The father has
agreed to keep them If she would leave
town which she has done.

The Play Goes On

There is little romance out south oil
town that doesn't amount to much but il
is written in the plural number and has
set people to talking, A certain well tc
do farmer and widower not long age
married another certain grass widow
from the city of Hutchinson. At the
same time he married a boy belonging
to her, Now the boy is about thirteen
years of age and weighs about Isc
pounds gross, He went to school the
other day, and wasn't good, He got
licked. He got licked hard. He got
licked so hard that he felt it all through
his bosom, and the wooden paddle left
marks underneath his pants. Then the
teacher got arrested. The board and
every one else in the neighborhood, or
nearly all stood by the teacher, but ad-
vised him to plead guilty as the best
way out. Then the mother of the boy
sued for diverse and got an injunction to
keep his step father from disposing of
the property, and the play is not ended
