for extraordinary projects OF public
work take up large part Of the report
The Commissioners refer with reg Il
10 the death OF their late colleague.
John W. Ross; OF Senator Mcmillan,
chairman OF the Senate District Com
mittee. and OF Alexander Shepherd.
Owing to the embarrassment experienced
during the illness and after the reath
Of Mr.. Ross. the Board asks Congress
TO provide Dy law for a substitute to
act in the case OF the disability or death
OF one OF the civil Commissioners.
The report then takes up briefly a
review OF the current work OF the de-
partmeuts. including that Of the En-
eineer Department. recently published
IN The Times. Several proposed -PslBIie
works are discussed such as the new
District Building. the municipal hosl ital.

RECOMMENDATIONS Of

Asks for Building for De-
paFtment of Justice.
HIGHER WAGES FOR CLERKS
Mr.. KnOx's Report to Congress Indi-
Gates That $3.50 COnvicts Occupy
United States Penitentiaries.

Attorney General Knox submitted "a
Congress today his annual report.
Ii shows that last year his department
disposed OF $50 cases in the Supreme
Court. and there are 344 cases now
pending there A brief explanation is
given Of the question involved and the
courts decisions in the more important
cases.
Mr.. Knox calls attention 10 the fact
that his department is occupying rented
quarters. and asked that Congress pro
vide for the erection OF a suitable de-
partmcnt building.
On July :. 1901, he says. there were
2.s9S United States convicts in yarious
prisons and reformatories in the country
Os July 80. 1902. there were $3.50 prison
ers.
Mr. Knox strongly recommends that
an increase be made in the salaries paid
the judicial officers Of the Government.
He says that they now receive salaries
smaller than are paid in the more
populous States, and salaries mean 5y
comparison with those paid in England.
A score OF statements showing tho
work in the various departments OF the
Department OF Justice were transmitted
to Congress with the Attorney Generals
report.

One of the primary causes OF the
scarcity Of fuel in this city. as discov-

the reluctance Of dealers to contract for
premium coal. when they fear the Read

moment consign large shipments here

The congested condition Of all rail-
roads renders uncertain the time ship

Because orders for coal necessarily
deal with the future and the re-

These conditions we're brought TO the
