A GREAT SURPRISE
CONTINUED from First Page.)

very much that the President should see fit
to depart from a policy that L have regard
ed as firmly established, so far as he Is
concerned. The bench of the District OF CO.
lumbia requires a peculiar knowledge OF
local conditions in order that the duties of
the just ices may be property discharged. A
local by all means should be appoint
ed as Justice Bradley's successor
Attorney f. b. Hay-"1f there Is any
thing a community has prayed for during
long long years it is the respect due to
home rule by the appointing power, and
as Mr.. Roosevelt has made Independent re-
forms in many directions it is to be hoped
that he will hear our prayers in this one.'
A Great Disappointment.
Mr. John Joy Edison. president of the
Washington Loan and Trust Company,
when interviewed by a Star reporter on the
subject of appointment of judge of the
District Supreme Court. said:
Judge Bradley was appointed from the
District where he had always resided. 1t
would be a disappointment, I believe uni.
versally to the citizens of Washington If
his successor is not a man from the Dis
trict of Columbia. The people of Washing
ton, with scarcely any exceptions. believe
and feel that local offices should be filled
by local men. There is no other city in
the Union where the postmaster. the re-
corder Of deeds and the register of wills
are appointed from another state or city
why Washington should be made an excep-
ton.
THE President, I feel certain. could find
a man in the District of Columbia possess
ing the requisite character, legal attain
ments and judicial temperament to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Judge
Bradley"
Mr. b. H. Warner. ex-president of the
Washington Board of Trade. said: 81 re-
gret very much that there Is so little in
ducement in this District for the develop
ment of the best professional and business
qualities in men. A large number Of our
best young men start away from good
homes here, and go elsewhere as soon as
they are able, just because they do not
have the same chance outsiders in the
active competitions of life. I regret very
much that we cannot have our vacant
judgeship. filled so honorably by Justice
Bradley, again occupied by an experienced
member of the District bar which includes
so many able and illustrious men"
Mr.. Louis p. Shoemaker, a prominent
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-05-28

real estate dealer, says he feels that Dis
trict offices should go to District men, and
particularly position so important as the
District !udgeship 1T is well-known
fact said Mr.. Shoemaker, that more of
the common law has been in force in the
District of Columbia up to recent period
than in any other jurisdiction in the coun-
try. While the code has modified the old
law to some extent, IL would seem to me
to be an imperative necessity that every
one called on to act our judges should
be familiar with our local laws which are
largely made up of the statutes of Mary
land We certainly have men here who
are we'll qualified for the position, and
believe that the selection of any one of the
three prominent candidates would be more
satisfactory to Our people than an outside
man."
Mr.. Shoemaker said that he saw no rea-
son or excuse for filling the position with
an outside man when a suitable District
man can be obtained.
Mr.. e. w. F. SwartZell of the B. H. War
ner Company declared that he has always
considered the Office of Judge of the Su-
preme Court of the District as being local
matter, and that no one could be better
quallhed to administer the laws of the Dis
trlct than thoroughly competent local
lawyer. 'Of course" he said, 'the Pres
ident can appoint whoever he pleases. as
the citizens of the District have no voice
In the elections but it is my opinion that
the office belongs to some well-uuaIified
man in the District. We have an album
ooiitC VI 6oou material.
Abundant Material.
Capt. Nj. M. Parker said that he was in
favor of the appointment of a member of
the District bar to fill the vacancy caused
by the death Of Judge Bradley. There is
in his opinion an abundance of material
from which the President could make
selection that would be credit to him
and give satisfaction to the people of the
District.
Mr. AIbin X. Paris said: mo one denies
the right of the chief executive to make
political use of District official vacancies
but in justice to an intelligent constituency
without votes or voice. 1t would seem that
local offices should be given to local men.
Mr.. Lewis ]. Davis said he saw no reason
to go outside Of the District for a man to
place on the local BENCH as there are able
men in the local bar from the number of
which the selection could be made.
Col. Robert I. Fleming said that he was
in favor Of home rule in the District, and
of District men for District offices.

DAYS WORK FOR CLERKS
OPINION OF SOLICITOR DUVALL
ON PENDING BILL.
Regards It as Subject to Three Gen
eral Objections-Other Matters
Passed Upon.

A. B. Duvall, the city solicitor. today
submitted three opinions to the District
Commissioners on matters of public inter-
est. One of the opinions is in regard to
House bill 1850. ITO permit the regulation
of hours which shall constitute a days
work for clerks or employees in drug
store pharmacy by the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia The bill pro-
VideS that the Commissioners shall have
power to regulate the number of hours
which shall constitute days work of any
clerk or employee in drug store or phar-
! macy in said District, which shall not ex-
coed 1876 hours in each two consecutive
weeks" Mr.. Duvall says:
THE bill is subject to three general OBJ
jections. First. that it restricts the con-
stitutional right of the citizen to contract
freely: second. that it discriminates be-
tween different classes of citizens, and
third, it does not deal with the occupation
Of selling harmful drugs, but is addressed
where many harmless articles, including
harmless drugs. are sold.
Doubtless Congress may regulate the
skilled trades and learned professions, and
the sale of articles Of merchandise, espe-
cially such as may be harmful. but in deal
ing with the callings and professions there
is limitation upon its authority.
Regulating the Occupation.
Congress can regulate the matter of the
occupation Of a drug clerk and prescribe
the terms and conditions upon which a per-
son may pursue that calling. certain
amount Of technical knowledge and profess
sional skill is demanded in order to allow
a person to engage in that calling because
the lack thereof may result In material
damage to the one who employs him. The
legislature has the choice Of means to pre-
vent evil to the public but the means
chosen may not go beyond the prevention
of the evil and prohibit what does not cause
the evil.
The evil involved in the prosecution of
the professions and skilled trades Is that
which arises from the admission of incom--

of the door to the right, followed by the
two bishops. AS it was being placed into
the hearse the mingled strains of organ
and harp again sounded through the
church, this time in the grand, solemn
measure of the Dead March From Saul"
To Rock Creek Cemetery.
At the sound of bugle the head of the
funeral escort swung away UP the street
leading the march to Rock Creek cemetery.
At the express wish of the family, the es-
cort from the church to the cemetery was
limited to a single squadron of United
States cavalry, which passed at first slow
ly and then more rapidly between the lines
of troops at present arms" Not even the
honorary pallbearers were called upon to
accompany the remains further than the
church, for 1t was held that there the re-
ligiouS services had Terminated. So with
the mourners in their carriages and the Of
ficiating clergymen and a few of the en-
bassy staff, the remains were taken direct
ly to Rock Creek Cemetery where they
were placed in the receiving vault, there to
remain until such time as they shall be

DEFECTS IN THE LAW
ASSESSMENTS AND BENEFITS IN
STREET EXTENSION CASES
Commissioners Transmit to Senate
Draft of Clauses for Inclusion
in Pending Bill

Defects in the present law governing as
easements for benefits in street extension
cases prosecuted under the acts of Congress
of lss? are the subject of a communication
sent by the District Commissioners tn
Chairman Mcmillan of the Senate District
committee. The Commissioners transmit
draft of clauses suggested by the CITY
solicitor for inclusion in House bill 114Oo
which amends the act in relation to taxes
and tax sales in the District approved Feb
ruary ~. 1895. These clauses are designed
TO cover the defects mentioned The
Commissioners also forward communica-
ton from Mr.. DuvaIl the solicitor setting
1orth the reasons for his actions in the mat
ter. in which the Commissioners concur
Mr.. Duval says in view of the recent de-
cisiOn of the Court of Appeals in Todd
against the Commissioners to the effect
that the assessments for benefits in street
extension cases prosecuted under the acts
of Congress of 1899 are unenforceable with
out further legislation. because said acts
omitted the word annual in describing
the installments in which said assessments
Were payable. He has drafted a provision
which will relieve the situation. The court
held that the assessments were valid liens
and not affected by the failure To sDecif-
cally provide for the installment period
In Mr.. Duvalrs draft he has suggested five
annual installments. this being the proyjs-
ion in the acts of June 800.
There is also inclosed a clause Respecting
the deduction of the benefit assessment
from the award for damages Both of these
items are included in House bill l14OO re-
Gently amended and reported to the Senate
by its committee. and. the solicitor says.
could he there inserted
The Clauses Submitted.
The clauses drawn by the solicitor and
forwarded by the Commissioners are as
follows:
In all cases where the assessments for
benefits for street extensions have been or
may hereafter be levied payment of the
same shall be made in five equal annual
1nstallments. with interest at the rate of
4 per cent per annum from and after sixtv
days after the confrma ton of the verdict
and award Provided. that the amount of
any payment of any instalIment or INSTALL
ments heretofore made on account of any
such assessment shall be credited there
on and the balance shall be due and paw
able as If such assessment had been orig
fnally payable in the installments and with
the interest as herein provided.
I'm all cases of payments the accounting
officers shall take into account the ASSESS
ment for benefits and the award for dam
ages. and shall pay only such part of said
award in respect of any lot as may be In
excess OF the assessment for benefits
against the part of such lot not taken and
there shall be credited on said assessment
