The Commissioners and other officials
of the District Building are beginning

interesting item in the report of the
Commissioners will be the recommends
ton for additional money to complete
the municipal building to be situated

preliminary plans. Several architects
will submit drawings by the first of De-
oember. one or more of which will he
sent to Congress with the recommenda-
tions of the Commissioners. Until the
plans are completed and selections
are made 1t will not be possible TO es-
innate how much additional money will
be needed to complete the building, but
il may be 100000 OF more In view of
the advance in the price of building ma

Necessity for Immediate Action in Or

Within few days the vacancy on the
Board of District Commissioners will
be filed. The campaign, in which HI

pated, has been reduced TO duel be-
tween Mr. Harry L. West and Mr.. A A.

NOT NECESSARY TO
APPOINT DEMOCRAT
President Is Not Compelled by Law to
Name Bipartisan Board of Com
missioners.

The custom adhered to by former
Presidents of the United States in ap-
pointing a bipartisan Board of Dis
trict Commissioners has no foundation
in law. This fact is made apparent In
correspondence between Mr.. L. J. Glenn
ents and DR.. William Tindall, secre-
tary to the Board of Commissioners.
Mr.. Clements wrote asking Or. Tinda,l
whether the law required Mr.. Roosevelt
to appoint Democrat to succeed the
late Commissioner John W. Ross. Dr.
Tindall replied yesterday that the law
does not require the naming of mem
ber of the Democratic party to he va
cancy. In addition he gives a statement
explaining how precedent has had the
force of unwritten law in the past. He
says:
"A few years ago l was informed by
Senator Blackburn, who was chairman
of the committee of the House of Rep
resentatives which prepared the draft
of the law establishing the present form
of government in the District that he
originally inserted in the bill a proviso
directing that the Commissioners ap-
pointed from civil life should belong TO
different principal political parties, but
consented TO the omission of the proviso
from the bill. at the request of Hon.
James A. Garfield. who. at the instance
of President Rutherford b. Hayes. asked
him to do so, as It's retention would be
in the nature of reflection on the
Presidents impartiality. Mr. Garfield,
however. assured Senator Blackburn
that the President, in appointing such
Commissioners. would be governed by
the policy expressed In the proviso so
expunged. Senator Blackburn has Just
written me confirming my recollection
in the premises"

Maj. Gen. John F. Meacham, command
| erans' Union, yesterday filed a petition
in the Supreme Court of the District
asking that Robert st. George Dyren-
forth, commander in chief, and Charles
| F. Noske. brigade general OF the Union
Veterans Union, be enjoined and re-
| strained from interfering with him in
the discharge of the duties OF his office
The petition was presented by ID. w
Classic, counsel for General Meacham,
to Justice Barnard. who ordered that the
restraining order issue. The matter will
be heard in the equity division of the
court next week.
When seen yesterday afternoon, Cen
eral Dyrenforth declined to discuss the
matter further than to say that General
Meacham was suspended from Office by
him for the good of the order" Gen.
eral Dyrenforth further stated that he
acted within the scope of his authority
conferred upon him by the constitution
| in ordering the removal. Beyond this
Authority Is Shown.
In support of his position General Dy
renforth referred to section of article
1S of the constitution, which is as fol-
lows:
THE commander-in- chief may sus-
pend. discontinue, or disband any regi-
hriu iyiS
or expel any officer of the order for viola
tion of the constitution. laws. rules, or
regulations. or of the spirit of the or
der; though he will exercise this power
with calmness, with judgment. and with
discretion. and, where feasible, only after
due admonition and warning. and upon
persistence therein of the body or Of
ficer admonished."
General Meacham also asks the court
to compel the defendants to revoke and
cancel general orders Nos. 10 and Il.
the first of which is the order of his
suspension, and the latter that appoint
ing the defendant Noske to the position
he held.
In his petition General Meacham sets
forth that he was elected to the posi-
tion of division commander on Novem-
ber 80 last for the term of one year.
and that under the constitution he by
right is entitled to all the honors of
the office. He states that he was en-
joying the honor of the position until
September 81, when he says, by the
"unwarranted. arbitrary, and tyrannical
usurpation of power, and the unlawful
interference of General Dyrenforth, he
was suspended from Office for the good
of the order
Claims He Disobeyed
This suspension was contained in gen.
eral order No. 10, referred to, and
further states that General Meacham
had manifested conduct unbecoming an
officer, discourtesy, and want of consid-
Grafton toward the commander in chief
OF the Union Veterans Union. The or
der also stated that General Meacham
had disobeyed orders.
General Meacham further states in mis-
petition that General Dyrenforth. by

reelection. To accomplish this emo
he states that General Dyrenforth some
time ago tried to break up Hancoch
Regiment and build up new organlza-
tion upon its ruins. II is stated tha'
he failed to accomplish this purpose.
| Continuing, the petition states that
to further his scheme. General Dyren-
forth sent out numerous invitations to
his friends to attend regular meeting
of Hancock Regiment 1t is said his
| friends were in the majority, and seeing
this, General Dyrenforth picked word
quarrel with Frank NJ. Taylor. the lieu
tenant colonel of the regiment. Later
during the meeting, General Meacham
states, General Dyrenforth had Colonel
| Taylor's Office declared vacant. and at
the next meeing of the regiment, Gem
eral Dyrenforths friends again being in
the majority, Taylor was expelled las
an obnoxious member of the order"
Reversed by General Meacham.
| Appeals were taken from this action
and the matter was referred to General
Meacham, the division commander. In
each instance he reversed the action OF
the meeting of the regiment.
Some days later. General Meacham
states. he received an order 10 send his
findings in the matters on appeal to
headquarters for review. 1t was then,
he says. that Gen. Dyrenforth tried to
pick quarrel with him and without au-
thority of law suspended him from of
fee and appointed the defendant, Gen.
eral Noske, in his stead.
In order No. 10, ,suspending General
Meacham from office. General Dyren-
forth states that he had been informed
by the former that he intended to con-
firm the action of the Hncock Regiment
in expelling Taylor. and was only pre-
quarters because of the absence Of his
adjutant general Within a few days
afterward, General Dyrenforth states,
General Meacham sent a notice to head
quarters informing the commander in
chief that he had reversed the action of
Hancock Regiment. Taylor, General
Dyrenforth says, was expelled from the
regiment by a two thirds vote.
Other Charges Made.
An additional charge is made against
General Meacham in that on the occa-
sion of an entertainment at Chase's
Opera House. when he was in charge of
affairs, he disarranged the program to
such an extent as 10 cause much COM
ment.
On that occasion. General Dyrenforth
states. General Meacham failed to call
TO the stage Senator Depew. who was
to deliver an address. and also to fur
nish carriage for one of the ladies',
Miss Mamie Smith. daughter of Gen.
Green Clay Smith, who had consented to
contribute vocal selection at the en-
tertainment Because of General Meach-
ans delinquencies. General Dyrenforth
states. one of the ladies' who had con-
sented to sing left the hall in disgust

THE HEBREW NEW YEAR
Services Held in Honor of
the Day.
THE FEAST OF AToNEMENT
Solemn Observances Inaugurated Last
Night-Ancient Customs Followed
Traditional Music.

This morning services will be held by
the Hebrews in honor of the advent OF
| the Jewish New Year, which begins on
the first day of the seventh month, or
Tishri, the number seven being regard
ed as sacred.
This year the first day of Tishri falls
on October 2, which is today The OBJ
servances began at sundown last night
and, in case of the reformed Jews, ends
at sundown tonight. In the case OF
the orthodox Hebrews, however, the
New Year festival will not be concluded
until sundown NSjday.
The longer services of the orthodox
Jews may bs traced directly to an an
cient custom of the Jewish people. Be
fore the destruction of the Temple the
Sanhedrin determined the first day OF
Tishri by waiting for the appearance of
the new moon.
Proclaimed by Signal.
When the luminary was first seen the
event was proclaimed by signals and
were too distant from Jerusalem and
could not for that reason receive the
news of the Sanhedrin's decision in
time. kept two days instead of only one.
so as to make sure of keeping the fes-
tival on the right day. The custom
has survived among the orthodox Jews
ever since.
The New Year festival is also called
the DAY of the Blowing of the Shofar''
Tor rams horn). The object of blowing
the horn is to arouse the worshipers and
announce that the time for the purifi-
cation of their hearts is at hand The
shofar is still blown in many OF the
orthodox synagogues. but in the re-
formed churches that instrument has
been superseded by the more modern
cornet.
Piety and Self Denial.
The first ten days of the New Year,
generally regarded as a time of in
creased piety. rigid examination of self
and sincere repentance. Among the or
thodox Hebrews the custom is still OBJ
served of walking on New Years Day
along the banks of a river or shore of
the ocean in order, by rejecting upon
the cleansing effect of water on the
body, to be reminded of the purifying
effect of repentance on the soul
Services in This City.
At the Washington Temple last night
a very large congregation attended the
services. which were OF the most solemn
order. DR.. Louis Stern. rabbi. preached
the serm IN. 1t was appropriate and full
of instruction.
At the Eighth Street Tabernacle the
music was OF the traditional order. To-
day the soemnities of the service Will
be still more marked. The ceremonies ard
dates of the Jewish religion as carried
out by this congregation are purely re-
ligious, and do not conflict with the
dates and practices in vogue among the
majority of people. Among the Jews
they are held in special reverence, and
are annually observed
Solemn services will be held at the
