Numerous Small Fires.

Burning cotton which was used under a
Christmas tree in the home of Mr.. Boyd
Watson, 1912 G street northwest to initiate
SNOW, spread the blaze to the tree and
caused an exciting time about 8 o'clock
last night. The blaze was enjoyed by the
children for a few seconds, but Mr.. Watson
took another view of the situation. The
family occupies a fiat, and it was due to
his prompt action that the fire was extin-
guished before the flames had spread to
the flats on the upper floors. A local
alarm sent to headquarters called out No.
l engine company, which succeeded in ex-
tingushing the flames in few minutes
but not before the Christmas celebration
had been spoiled. About 500 damage was
caused by the flames.
No. IA engine company responded to a
local alarm this morning few minutes
after midnight, sent in because of slight
blaze in the room of Miss Willard at the
Crosby House. A lace curtain had come
in contact with a lighted gas jet and
caused the fire. Other than the burning of
the curtain no damage was done.
A gasoline stove caused a fire scare at
Trueworthy's lunch stand at the Northern
o'clock. No. engine company was sum-
moned and the blaze was eXtinguished be-
fore any damage was DONE
An alarm was turned in about 6 o'clock
last night because of trouble with an over
heated stove in the house Of A. P. Wilkens,
1910 kalorama avenue northwest. The
property was not damaged.
Truck D company was called to the
house of NJ. Goldberg, 131 Pierce street,
last night. There was slight fire in the
house, which was eXtinguished without any
damage to the property.

pany Wednesday evening. The reception
was given under the auspices Of the senior

the other classes were well represented and

West Hall and the library, with the con-
Meeting hallway, We're handsomely draped
with the orange and blue of the university
ard the orange shades on the electric lights
produced a particularly pleasing effect The

hallway, and its familiar tones reminded
some Of those present of the happy days
when the university used to be Columbian
on the Hill"
The patronesses Of the occasion were
Mrs. Charles w. Needham. Mrs Charles
F. Munroe. Mrs. Howard l.. Hodgkins and
Mrs. Mitchell Carroll. The following is a

ADJUSTMENTS.

'TF WE'RE KING."-The indisposition
of Mr.. E. II. Sothern, who was troubled with
a throat affection, caused him to pass the
role of Francois vfllon to his understudy,
last night. in the play 'If Were King"
Some of the audience upon the announce
ment iof Mr.. Sothern's absence, exchanged
their tickets for other nights. but a good
house remained.e
And those who did, were rewarded by
witnessing a highly creditable presenta-
tion of this charming and poetic work OF
Justin Huntley Mccarthy. Mr.. Sidney e.
Mather took the role of Francois Vtllon,
the graceless poet, the wise and skillful
statesman, the brave and resourceful SOL
der and the ardent lover. From the roll
licking tavern scene in the first act to the In
tenseIy dramatic and rapidly shifting
events of the last act, Mr.. Mather was
thoroughly at ease in his part, and showed
the result of earnest study of the char
acter as interpreted by Mr.. Sothern. In
the more intense passages his own In
dividuality asserted itself without detrt-
ment to the excellence Of the work. The
upon him in persistent applause
Mr.. George Wilson's Interpretation OF
the character of Louis XII was fascinating
In its cruelty, sordidness, hypocrisy and
craftiness. Miss Margaret Ellington made
an acceptable Katherine De Vancelles.
Mr.. Sothern's physician has promised him
that he can certainly appear during the
remainder Of his Washington engagement.

DER THE LAW.
Opinion by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Forwarded to the Dis
trict Commissioners.

According to the opinion of Arthur H.
O'Connor, assistant corporation counsel
which has been received by the Distrlct
Commissioners, the National Trust CON-
pany of America is liable for license as
brokers under the law. Several days ago
the manager Of the company mace apph-
cation to the Commissioners Tor ln1orma-
ton on the subject, submitting letter ana
several papers explaining the objects ana
purposes of the business conducted by the
company. Assessor Darneille stated that,
in his opinion, the company should pay
brokers' license, but suggested that the
matter be referred to the corporation coun-
sci for specific instructions.
In the opinion rendered Dy MI " Connor
he refers to a letter from the president OF
the company, in which 1t Is set forth that
the manager for Washington, Edward Sud
low, is to solicit subscriptions to shares OF
the Twentieth Century Mining Company, a
corporation organized under the laws or
Ontario, the sale of the shares being act
ually effected in Toronto. The manager
solicits the orders, which are executed by
the company in Canada
Term General Broker"
Mr.. O'Connor then shows what the term
general broker means by quoting from
the District license law as follows:
Every person, firm. company or asso-
citation not Incorporated except insurance
and real estate. brokers acting as such, that
solicits business from the general public
by advertisement or otherwise, and that
purchases, sells or negotiates for others

bullion, coin, money, bank notes or promis-
sorry notes, or that deals in futures on mar
ket quotations Of prices or values on mer-
chandise. shares, stocks, bonds or other
securities or accepts margins on prices or
values of said shares. stocks, bonds or Sc
curities. shall be deemed a general broker"
Mr.. O'Connor says that the company in
ton, and that the license Of the general

smashed. Mr.. Harry Montgomery, who

tree. Mr.. Howard Of 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue, is the owner Of the automobile.

on the Ice at the corner of 33d and x
