WILHELM AID rHEoRoRE.
Numerous and Varied Accomplishments
CO Kaiser and President.

The decision went TO the kaiser at the
end OF a discussion on Who is the best
al-round' man in the world?" at a
Lcndon bachelor girls tea recently.
Which led some one to sum up the
most striking accomplishments of the
ruler OF united Germany as follows: He
can talk fiuen1y in SIX languag es. He
has written ii play and conducted its re-
hearsal. No man lives a buster life
than he. but on the discovery of the
Roentgen ray he telegraphed for Pro-
fessCr Roentgen and talked With him
Tor hours. He has written q publi..
prayer and conducted u choir. He can
cook his own dinner. can play chess,
paint pictures and draw carioa cures.
lie has learned engineering and studie'i
electricity.
Though he can use only one arm. he
can shoot game for four hours at the
rate of TWO a minute He hes over u
hundred titles and is an admiral il
three of the largest navies. In twenty
five years he has shot 22 eco head OF
game. He changes his dress a dozen
times day. has dozen Wallets and his
wardrobe is worth 100000. And all
this in addition to being boss Of an
empire-a fact which nobody has any
doubt about since he dropped the pilot
Bismarck 50 uncereroniously
1t is probable that in variety CT occu-
p2tions and interests President Roose-
Welt would rank second to TIE kaiser
As far as his public life is concerned he
has n more varied experience than his
great and good friend" Of Berlin. He
has been New York assemhlyman. a
candidate for mayer 7 United States
civil service cc;nTciss:oneT. = New York
police commissioner. assistant secretary
Of the navy, a colonel CT volunteer
cavalry, governor Il the state of New
York, vice president. and now he is al
the head of the nation. If this is not
! case Of being "all-Grcurd" what is it
But in addition to al this. Nj Roose-
Welt can run ranch. can shoot big
game, can bag his own dinner and coo6

sional, knows something about wrest-

may not write operas or poetry, but

REQUIREMENTS OF
ANTI-SMOKB LAW
Health Officers Reply to the
Eccentric Engineers.
No Rule OF Law Fixing Limit TO
Density, Thickness. BIaci<ness,
or Grayness of Smoke

Mr.. a. w. Leeke, secretary of the Ec-
centric Association of Engineers, recently
addressed q communication 10 the Dis
trict Commissioners. asking to be in
formed what, in the meaning of the law,
constitutes dense smoke" also, what
percentage of smoke must be consumed
to meet the requirements of the District
anti-smoke law.
In reply. DR.. William c. Woodward, the
Health Officer, has submitted statement
in which he says that there is no rule OF
law fixing a limit to the density, thick
ness, blackness, or grayness of smoke is
suing from chimney.
Hns to Be Determined by Evidence.
He says the question whether any par
ticular smoke does, or does not, come
within the law has to be determined in
each case by the judge or by the jury
upon consideration of the evidence Of
fered.
DR.. Woodward states that the inspect
ors charged with the enforcement of the
law refer for prosecution such cases as,
in their judgment, constitute violations
of the act. He says the question as to
the percentage of smoke consumed or ar
rested is immaterial for the purposes of
the act. II dense or thick black or gray
smoke is emitted from a smokestack, Dr.
Woodward says, it makes no difference
what proportion has been held back.

EXTRA LICENSE FOR IA. KMEN.
Will Have to Pay Another Dollar
Into District Cofers.

The District Commissioners have COM
pleted their report on Senate bill 324l, to
require the proprietors and drivers or
operators of vehicles used as public con-
veyances to pay a license tax.
The license bill now being prepared IN
der the direction of the Commissioners
contains a clause licensing the drivers of
able July l. The amount of police sur
veiilance which is necessarily given to
these vehicles and the drivers is an addi-
tional item of expense
The bill further provides that no vehicle
shall be licensed until it has been in
spectad and passed upon as being safe
sanitary and slightly. The hack inspector
may condemn any unsafe or unsightly
vehicle, and after such condemnation the
vehicle cannot be used for the conveyance
placed in I safe condition.
The Commissioners Will report to Con-
gress that under the laws now in force
the owners of one-horse vehicles are re-
quired TO pay license tax of So per an
mum, and for two-horse vehicles the tax
is so per annum. Public electric or auto
vehicles for hire are cIassed under the
police regulations with two horse vehicles,
and the question CT licensing them at the
same rate is at present in litigation.
Considerable revenue is at present de-
rived by the District from these licenses,
but probably not more than enough to pay
the cCsl CT cleaning the streets and the
wear ard tear they cause 10 the streets.

COLORED SCHOOL AT FORT RENO.
Superintendent of School FavOrs
Bill Providing for Site.

Prof. A. T. Stuart, Superintendent of
Schools, has submitted to the District
Commissioners a report on Senate bill
No. $3.50. providing for the purchase of
hand in Fort Reno subdivision as a site
for a colored school building.
Prof. Stuart says that there are 112
pupils enrolled in the Grant Road
School, of whom eighty-t three live at or
near Fort Reno and twenty-nine east of
the present school house. While school
at Fort Reno would no doubt be more
convenient to the majority of pupils now
attending the Grant Road School, Mr..
Stuart thinks that it would adj materially
to the distance to be Travelled by the
twenty nine living to the eastward for
whom some provision would have to be
made.
In view of the fact that a large ma
jority of the pupils live at or near Fort
Reno, Prof Stuart sees no serious objec-
tion to the purchase of the ground pro-
posed in this bill. and the erection of
the school house, provided the present
valuable site be retained by the District
for public school purposes in the future.
Commissioner Macfarland has approved
the report and has forwarded the papers
to his colleagues.

YORKE NELSON ON TRIAL.
Jury VIII Probably Determine HIS
Guilt or Innocence Today.

The trial of Yorke Nelson, colored. who
is charged with the killing of Charles
Washington on the night of October last,
which was begun in Criminal Court NO
yesterday before Justice Anderson, Will
be resumed this morning. The hearing
Of the evidence is nearly completed. y
few witnesses will be called today, how
ever, by both sides to testify as to the
reputation of the murdered man.
After hearing the evidence of several
Of the witnesses to the quarrel which re-
suited in the death of Washington, the
grand jury reported an Indictment charg-
ing Nelson with manslaughter. and for
this offence he is being tried.
The story of the killing of Washington
as told ty the witnesses for the Govern
ment is, in brief, as follows: On the
night of October last Washington and
Nelson met at Adams eating house, 80
Twenty sixth Street. Soon after Nelson
arrived Washington commenced talking
fight, but the former took no notice of
what was said. After remaining a few
minutes, Nelson left the house and went
cut. He was followed by a woman named
Annie Green.
Closely following her was Washington.
Just outside the door of the eating house
there was low fence, near which Nelson
was standing. Washington approached
him and struck him in the face with his
fist. knocking him back upon the fence.
This blow was followed by others, Mel
sen still leaning on the fence.
While in this position Nelson took a
knife OFT of his pocket and struck at
Washington. This ended the fight. and
Washington went into the eating house.
In few moments he said: Il am shot"
No one heard the report of a firearm, and
told him he must be mistaken.
Washington then fell to the floor
clutching at his breast with his hands.
Upon examination it was discovered that
he had been stabbed He died a few min
utes after he fell
In his own defence Nelson told prac-
