BURIAL OF A SOLDIER.
Remains of David Curry Mt Rest In

The remains Of David B. Curry were
buried at Arlington at 3 O'Clock this after
noon. He served as a member of Company
H of the 1st District Regiment, not in
Porto Rico, but in the Santiago trenches,
as a result Of which he suffered on his re-
turn an almost fatal illness. When hardly
recovered from this he most bravely an
swered the call for volunteers for the Phil
ippines, and served there faithfully for
two years, falling a victim at last to dis
ease, after an especially long and weary
march. He thus gave his life for the SER
vice of his country. His death is the
fourth in the ranks of those who originally
enlisted in Company H, whose commander.
Capt H. B. LOCKER, and a large number Of
members of the old command assembled
at the grave as last tribute to the de-

AGAIN TAKEN Up.
The Matter of Lighting Bridge Across
Rock Creek.

The District Commissioners have again
taken up the matter of lighting the bridge
across Rock creek at Cincinnati street and
Connecticut avenue. The bridge Is used by
the Capital Traction Company for its
Chevy Chase branch. Some time ago the
Commissioners addressed letter to the
company asking If it would be willing to
maintain groups of incandescent lights on
the structure from its trolley system. The
company replied that it would light the
bridge provided satisfactory arrangements,
with compensation, could be made between
the company and the District
In report upon the matter the electrical
engineer invited the attention of the Com
missoners to the fact that the Capital
Traction Company refused permission to
the District to use it's poles on the bridge
and Connecticut avenue extended for the
purpose of maintaining incandescent lights
on the bridge and thoroughfare, and in
order to light the highway the electric
lighting company having the contract with
the District was compelled to put up an
Independent pole line. The electrical en-
gineer said he was not certain whether
the District would be authorized to con-
tract with the Capital Traction Company
for the maintenance of the incandeScent
lights, being under the impression that the
charter did not authorize the company to
enter into competition with the street light
ing companies. 1t is impra ctfcable to place
additional poles on the bridge, and the
"clSDdCH SdS IL Is SIdtcu Wouiu
not stand the jarring of the structure.
Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the attorney for the
District. has rendered opinion in which
he holds that there is nothing in the char
ter of the Capital Traction Company which
would authorize contract between 1t and
the District for the supply and the mainte
nance Of lights on the bridge.
Now the Commissioners have decided to
forward the attorneys opinion to the rail-
way company and ask 1t again to MAIN
tain lights on the bridge at it's own ex-
pense, as is done In the case Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company on the Long
bridge, across the Potomac.

VERDICT AGAINST A
 LOCAL SAVINGS BANK
J. c. Hendrix Sues for Value of Check and Is Given Payment
 for $1,143.

The case of J. c. Hendrix vs the Jer- ferson County Savings Bank which was up before Judge Charles A. Senn in the second division of the City Court yes terday afternoon, brought out an inter- esting question in connection with the responsibility of banks and what pre- cautions they should take in protecting their depostors.
 Judge Senn rendered a decision of s114s in favor of the plaintiff J. C. Hendrix presented check for s1l00 on the Shelby County Bank for deposit in the Jefferson County Bank. It. was received and he was given a deposit book. The check was sent to the Shelby Bank, which held it ten days before paying it, and at the end of that time failed being unable to pay it's depositors

THE EMPLOYER
 AND EMPLOYED
DR. HOLMAN DISCUSSES CUES TON OF SOCIAL AND INDUS TRIAL sETTERMENT-BY RE- QUEST WILL BE REPEATED.

Dr. W. H. Tolman, secretary of the League of Social Service of New York. delivered an interesting lecture at Seals Hall last night.
 Dr. lTolman discussed the question of social and industrial betterment and urged harmonious action between em- ployer and employed. The lecture was illustrated with more than 100 stereopti- can pictures of industrial plants in the United States and abroad and the talk was interrupted by frequent applause.
 At the request of several members of the Commercial Club Dr. Holman will lecture again tonight and desires mem bsrs of the various labor organizations, as well as manufacturers and commercial men, present. He is featuring under the auspices of the Commercial Club and no admission fee is charged.
 When introduced to the audience last night Dr. Tolman began by saying:
 "One of the great needs of the times has come to be a point of contact and communication between the many or ganizations which, inspired by the grow ing altruistic spirit, are trying to make their communities better places to live in. If we profit only by our own experi- ence we learn slowly and pay high tuition fee. It is much wiser to profit by the successes and failures of others and so get our tuition free.
 'The form of industry determines, per- haps more than any other cause, the type of civilization.
 "The industrial revolution, therefore which came with the introduction of steam was sure to be followed by a so- cial revolution. Great social changes have already taken place. and others are to follow, attendant on the substitution of the factory system for home indus tries. the redistribution of population and massing 1t in cities. the creation and concentration of capital, the organiza- ton of labor, and the like"
 The lecturer then went into an ex- haustive explanation of the methods used at various industrial plants to provide for the men employed He argued that by proper attention in the matter of good houses and other comforts employees would be better satisfied and the bitter feeling between capital and labor would gradually die away.
