That Fire Alarm Pole.
10 the EDITOR Of The EYening Star:

/ write to correct an erroneous impress
sion that may be made by an item in your
valuable paper on November is, under the
caption: Citizens File a Protest. The
delegation Of property owners called upon
the Commissioners to protest against the
DETACHMENT Of a beautiful park section by
the erection OF unsightly pole at the
corner of c and 9th streets. 1t was ex-
planned to them that the pole was for the
extension and improvement Of the fire
alarm system in that vicinity. After dis
cussion the proposition was finally made to
them by the Commissioners either to ac-
cept that unsightly pole in that particular
SPOT or get a petition signed by property
owners requiring Its removal, he<6setitton-
ers being aware OF the fact thar the pole
delegation protested vigorously against
such an alternative. It was made plain by
the delegation that there was no relinquish-
ment Of rightsto all fire protection possible.
1t was also stated to the Commissioners
that No. 8 engine house was but little
over one block distant from the location of
the pole. Rather than have this unsIghtly
pole in this beautiful spot, the citizens
stated that they were willing to have the
location OF the fire alarm box at that corner
postponed until money should be available
for placing the wire underground, In ac-
cordance with the law passed by Congress
regulating the extension Of telegraph and
telephone wires The additional fire pro-
rights of fire protection are to be waived
by the petitioners. We desire to maintain
the beauty Of our section, and surely The
Evening Star. which has consistently ad-
wire system, viii sympathize with us In the
effort to prevent the Disagreement of our
section by unsightly poles and network OF
overhead wires. J. c. NICHOLSON.

The Presidents Speech.

The President spoke follows: 1t is a
real and great pleasure to come to this
typical city of the southern Mississippi val
ley in order to greet a typical American, a
citizen Of Tennessee. who deserves honor
not only from his state, but from the en-
entire country-General Luke e. Wright.
We have right to expect high standard
Of manhood from Tennessee. 1t was OF
the first two states created west of the
Allegheny mountains, and 1t was in this
state that the first self-governing comnu-
nifty of American freemen was established
upon waters flowing into the gulf The
pioneers Of Tennessee were among the
earliest in that great westward march
which thrust the nations border across the
continent to the Pacific, and 1t Is eminently
fitting that a son of Tennessee should now
play so prominent a part in the further
movement Of expansion beyond the Pacific.
There have been Presidents Of the United
States for but one hundred and thirteen
years, and during sixteen OF those years
Tennesseeans sat in the White House. Har-
dihood, and daring, and iron resolution are
of right to be expected among the sons of
a state which nurtured Andrew Jackson
and Sam Houston; which sent into the
American navy one of the most famous
fighting admirals Of all times-Faragut.

WILL NOT DISTURB TOWER.
Projection to Be Permitted on Build
ing on Sixteenth Street.

One of the houses in the line Of 10th
street extended, recently sold by the Conn
missioners, is to be moved back to the full
depth Of the lot on which it is now located.
All of the structure will be back of the new
building line, with the exception of a tower
at the corner. The question has been raised
as to whether or not the Commissioners
shall approve this projection. Colonel Bid
die, the Engineer Commissioner, has re-
ported that the tower could not be built
under existing regulations. 1t is a corner
projection instead of one extending only
along the front Of the building. A bay wfn-
dow would be allowed to project as far as
the tower will when moved, and so Colonel
Blddle says there seems to be no logical
reason to compel the owner to tear down
the tower. If the projection were to be
built anew it could not be allowed, he adds.

Fined for Wife Beating.

James Bundy, the colored man who was
shot IN the foot by a policeman in George
town about two months ago, WAS a de-
PENDANT before Judge KimbaA Of the Police
Court this morning on charge Of as
sau1ting his wife Ruth. Mrs. Bundy stated
to the court that her husband beat her at
their home near the corner of oath and II
streets northwest Tuesday night. and not
being satisfied with that, endeavored to cut
her clothes up with razor.
Bundy denied striking his wife and de-
clared that she went to bed with a razor
and he took 1t from her.
Judge Kinball failed to accept Bundy's
version as true, and imposed a fine of $40
with imprisonment In the District jail for
two months as the equivalent.

Gen. Wright's War Record.

There is another reason why our country
should be glad that 1t was General Wright
who rendered this service. General Wright
fought with distinguished gallantry among
the gallant men who served in the armies
OF the confederacy during the civil war
We need no proof Of the completeness Of
our reunion as a people. When the war
with Spain came the sons OF the men who
wore the blue and the sons Of the men who
wore the gray Wed with one another In the
effort to get into the ranks and face a
foreign foe under the old flag that had been
carried In triumph under Winfield Scott and
Zachary Taylor and Andrew Jackson 1t
was my own good fortune to serve under
that fearless fighter, old Joe Wheeler, a
memory Of which I shall always be proud
But if we needed any proof Of the unity of
our interests 1t would have been afforded
this very year by General Wright, the ex-
confederate. In his administration as acting
governor Of the Philippine Islands Upon
him during the months Of summer
rested a heavier burden of responsibility
than upon any other public servant at that
particular time; and not the least of his
titles to our regard Is the way in which he
was able to work on terms Of cordial good

General WHsht's work has been as diff

the last four years have definitely decided
that whether we wish to or not ws must

We cannot escape facing the duties.

Our duty In the Philippine Islands has sim

come upon US. We are there. and we can
no more haul down our flag and abandon
the islands than we could now abandon
Alaska. Whether we are glad or sorry
that events forced us to go there is aside
