worth Methodist Church.
The parsonage of the Epworth Meth
odist Church at Jefferson and Thirty
seventh streets was in imminent dam
ger of burning yesterday afternoon
through the mischievousness of some
of the small boys of the neighborhood.
The boys set fire to the tall grass on
a vacant lot to the west of the parson-
age, and the wind, blowing in the d.
rection of the parsonage and church,
soon carried the flames against the
fence.
A call was sent to the fire depart
ment, and an engine from the Thirty
eighth Street Station responded, but
before it arrived Rev. ]. A. Smith had
put out the flame nearest the fence
with buckets of water. A policeman
captured one of the boys said to have
had hand in starting the fire, but
Mr.. Smith, who felt satisfied that the
fire had been started through careless
ness rather than malice, induced the
officer to allow the youngster his lib
erty.

Equally Cost of Conducting Excise
Board and Extension of Streets-Other
Important Changes.

The Senate District Committee had q
meeting yesterday and discussed the per-
sonal tax question. The committee re-
ported favorably TO the Senate the amend
ment introduced by Mr.. Mcmillan on Tues
day. engrafting the Senate personal tax
bill on the District appropriation bill. A
number of other amendments were con-
sidered and later introduced by Mr.. Nc
MILAN.
An amendment of much Importance re-
garding the excise board was introduced.
II provides that the salaries of the board
shall be paid hereafter by the District
and the United States as other expenses
are divided. Heretofore these salaries
have been paid out of the licenses col
lected. This has been one of the few in
stances in which the Federal Government
has not shared the payment of District
expenditures.
In the same line and marking a de-
parture from present practice an amend
ment to the appropriation bill provides
that $3.50 for carrying on the work of
street extension shall be paid equally by
tne united StaieS ana the DiStrict OF W
lumbia. Congress has heretofore COM
PEELED the District to pay all Of such ex-
penses.
Another amendment provides that the
Treasury Department shall hereafter fur
nish to the District authorities particu-
lars of all expenditures made for the Dis
trict. A few such expenditures have been
made out Of the Treasury heretofore with
