There has been no meeting Of the minis

last Tuesday, but the ministers themselves
all profess satisfaction with the present
course of events.
The Chinese forts have not yet been de-

nation will destroy those forts now occu-

that the respective military commanders
object to destroying Chinese forts not oc-

Chinese labor to effect the destruction Of

On Educational Lines.

I'm the United States, the effort. for the
most part, is educational only. To keep
in touch with the public, to arouse its in
terest and so to create popular demand.
IS the aim Of all the societies. Public in
terest is apprehended to be the one hope
of public art. In this country the crusade
for urban and suburban beauty must come
from the people, for they are the real
sovereigns. Mr.. Gladstone once noted
Americans as conspicuous for combining
enthusiasm for their country with love for
their cities and suburbs. Hence comes the
spur for our civic art. We are greatly in
debted to Senator Mcmillan, chairman Of
the District committee, for organizing
park commission, composed OF three of the
most learned landscape artists in the coun-
try, for the purpose of creating chain
system of urban and suburban parks and
handsome boulevards. The work Of this
and create a high standard of civic beauty.
Municipal art is worthy of individual as
ISOLATED effort. Could man or woman
woman's club or civic organization con-
secrate itself to higher purposes? On how
many sides-moral, physical, Intellectual
political and economic-does an effort for
beauty in towns and suburbs touch the
welfare of mankind? The various civiliza-
lions of the past have left in cities and
suburbs the record of their art. We judge
them, Egyptian, Greek Roman, medieval
by the degree of their urban and suburban
culture. In the newness Of our country
and the modern tendency to commercial
ISM civic art was overlooked for a while.
We have begun to remember, and remem-
bering let us strive to realize, for hum
dred reasons, the vision Of the artist and
poet. suburban home meets the wants
of a refined and cultivated life more than
any other Suburban life yields a far
greater variety Of healthful pleasures, and
a fuller, freer, happier life for man, woman
and child than a home in the city.

The National Capital Art League will in
no manner conflict with any work now 60
ing on, but on the contrary will help it
along, especial attention being given to the
plan proposed by Congress for the system
of chain parks. Working hand in hand a
vast amount Of good is expected to be
accomplished. In his annual report to the
Northwest Association President Lancaster
has the following to say relative to the
proposed organization:
Now is the hour and this the. opportune
occasion when a step should be taken
onward and upward for a higher educa-
ton Of our people in esthetic art. This
being the capital of a proud and mighty
nation. it should rival every other city in
the country in urban and suburban adorn-
ment. Its natural and artistic beauties
should be carefully preserved and embel-
lished. This can only be done by official
and private organization founded upon the
scientific and practical forces Of the mu-
nicipality and the nation. Other cities
have awakened to the necessity of arousing
these slumbering agencies of civic art and
societies have been created whose power
and usefulness are seen and felt by every
citizen.

THE CAPITAL ART LEAGUE
PROPOSED BY A CITI-
ZENs' ASSOCIATION.
Purpose Stated to BE the Improve.
ment of the
City.

A movement has been started by the
Citizens Northwest Suburban Association
for the formation of what is called Ma
tional Capital Art League. the object Of
which is to beautify and improve the city,
rendering 1t more attractive to the local
residents and pleasing to all visitors. The
plan will require time for development, but
start has been made. The president Of
the citizens association, Mr.. Charles C.
Lancaster, has taken the initiative and re-
ceived the Endorsement of his association
1t Is recognized as specially fitting that
such organization should exist at the
national capital, the practical social and
political center of a great and growing
country. Its membership, like it's name,
Is not to be confined to local people, but
may extend to all sections of the country
The leading artists and sculptors will
be asked to join, and other people Of prom
inence also, and by this means, it is hoped,
the advancement of the artistic in the ma
tional capital will be accomplished 1t is
thought that through the efforts of the
association by its influence upon the mem
bers Of Congress it is possible to secure
larger appropriations for the District, and
thereby aid the work along the lines for
which the organization will be formed.

was done? Do you, as a city official,
having approved this bill, know what
services were rendered by these de-
tectivesi"
McMillen was stumped. Noticing
his evident embarrassment, the City
Solicitor came to his rescue. Said he:
81 believe can answer that question,
Mr.. Brady. I saw the bills for SER
vices presented by the detectives for
payment, and checked them all over.
They amounted in all to over $1,000.
Half of this amount was to be paid
by the city, and the bill is before you
tonight"
Mr.. Brady: "Yes, but were those
bills itemlzed to show what work was
done, Mr.. Solicitor? This bill is en-.
dorsed by the City Commissioners but
it is not itemized.'
The Solicitor, like the Commissioner
before him, did not reply to the per.
sistent Councilman. But Mayor Young
did, although he avoided the direct
question. The Mayor stated the de-
tails of the meeting held the day fol-
lowing the riot, by city aud county
officials and citizens. Later he was
informed by Prosecutor Wanamaker
that the two Boards decided to en-
ploy out of town detectives, and that
the Prosecutor had been empowered
to secure them. The Gillison Detec-
tive Agency at Pittsburg was recon.
mended and from this organization
the men were hired, when the .detec-
tives had completed their work." said
the Mayor, they submitted written
reports to the Prosecutor and Board
of County Commissioners behind closed
doors at the Court House, The mem.
bers Of the City Board were invited
to be present, but they did not appear
County Prosecutor, Mr.. Wanamaker,
had perfect right to place those re-
ports in his pocket and not make them
public"
The Mayor denied Mr.. Brady's
statement that nearly all the persons
arrested and indicted were boys. He
named several whom he saiu were over
30 years Of age. The Mayor con,
cluded by eulogizing Mr. Wanamaker.
He complimented him for being fear,
| AVso CIV oouSoL oihCiul,
Councilman Brady seemed deter,
mined to have the last word and he
was successful. 81 did not know that
the County Commissioners had re.
ceived the reports from the detectives
behind locked doors. I did think that
the whole scheme was concocted ut the
Court House, Jut If the City Com
missioners were invited up there, did
not go, and We're so Indifferent as to
the work of the detectives, why then
they must assume the responsibility
and blame for the allowance oi this
bill and not the Council. Wit. that
understanding will vote to pass it."
The vote was then called for the
passage OF the claims ordinance and
all members, except Mr.. Brodt, who
was absent, voted aye.

Councilman Brady Took Occasion to Ask
Some Very Pertinent Questions Of
the City Commissioners.
Believe 1t Poor Policy to Pay the Claim Without
Knowing Something About Alleged Ser
vices of the Detectives.

At the meeting of the City Council
Monday night, Councilman Brady STIR
red up regular old fashioned hornets
nest when he objected to passing the
bill Of $s37.50, as the city's portion OF
the salaries for services rendered by
the four detectives who were employed
by county officials to work on the riot
cases.
1t was a clash between Councilman
Brady on one side and Commissioner
McMillen, Mayor Young, Solicitor Es-
gate and President Fiebeger on the
other. Although the bill was finally
allowed, the frank, blunt out-spoken
Councilman from the Old Fifth, fired
number of pertinent questions bear
ing on the bills that required great
deal of explaining" on the part OF
the defenders before majority of the
members of the Council We're satisfied
that the money should be paid.
The bill was included in the claims
ordinance, and read 81. E. Sisler, Au-
ditor, detective service, $SS7.5O.
II believe said Councilman Brady,
that it is the general opinion of the
members of this body that this bin
should not be allowed. The bills Tor
detective services are not itemized,
and so far as / can learn, no city Off
cial has seen an itemized report or
statement from these detectives show
ing what their services were. One of
the men is now under indictment in

sioners that each was to stand half
the expense of the detectives, and that
the City Board Is under obligations to
pay these bills. I am willing to aid
in carrying out the faith and promises
of the City Board, but they at least
should learn something about these de-
tectives. According to the newspapers,
Prosecuting Attorney Wanamaker has
the reports Of the detectives. He has
been carrying these around in his in
side pocket, and refuses to show them
to any one. If we are to allow these
bills we should know more about them.
I will vote to expunge this bill from
the pay roll at the present time"
President Fiebeger: "Some one did
good work, Mr.. Brady, in apprehending
these rioters, and | believe that the
detectives were instrumental in bring.
ing many of them to Justice. Indict-
ments were secured from all arrests
made. l would consider 1t an unjust
act not to allow their claim"
Mr.. Brady: The members Of the
police force have done good work al
SO, Mr. President, as much so as these
alleged detectives, am certain. They
are entitled to great credit. There
have not been so many criminals in
dicted. Many arrests made were boys,
some Of whom were sent to the Reform
Farm. I still believe that this bill
should be held up"
CITY Commissioner McAIillen: II de;
sire to say to Mr.. Brady that imme.
diately after the riot the city and
county officials entered into an agree
ment to employ detectives. Each Board
was to stand half the expense. The
men were. employed and the agree
ment should be lived up to. This bill
has been held over for long time, and
the Council is in honor-bound to allow
it,"
Mr.. Brady: "Did,yOu agree with the
County Commissioners to pay for any
bills that might be submitted to you
by these detectives, regardless of the
amount? Do you know what work
