Fire Dill at Hospital for Insane.

Fire drill took place Saturday evening at
st. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane un-
der the direction of DR.. Benjamin Logee of
the asylum staff Of physicians. The alarm
for fire was sounded unexpectedly to most
Of the people Of the institution, the re-
sponse of the company being prompt and
the subsequent maneuvers being performed
with rapidity and thoroughness. At the
sound Of the institutions big bell the male
employees who comprise the fire-fighting
force hastened to the engine house, drew
out the engine, the ladders and the hose
and hose carts. The apparatus was put in
operation at one of the nearby buildings
In which the insane have quarters. The
ladders were raised and the hose brought
into play against the sides Of the structure.
The drill lasted about an hour. No ward
practice was INDUCED in.
Dr. Richardson, the superintendent, will
have the fire extinguishers with which the
institution has been supplied placed in the
different buildings during this week. DR..
Logee who has had experiences in the d.
recting OF volunteer fire brigades at another
hospital, will have the supervision Of the
company at st. Elizabett's in the future.

George Jones Attacks Policeman Who
Bars His Way.

George Jones. alias Reed. colored, was in
the Police Court this morning. charged with
the theft of a bag of -four. George ]. Cox,
who conducts store near the corner Of 31st
and NJ streets, told Judge Kimball that
Jones-or Reed, as he is called-came into
his store Saturday night and took bag
of flour without waiting long enough to
pay for 1t.
The man left the store and sprinted down
the street, it was alleged, at record-break-
ing time. Some distance away Officer Stahl,
who was pacing his beat, had his attention
attracted by a crowd running toward him,
with figure some yards in advance Of the
crowd. Stahl braced himself and made
ready to seize the advancing sprinter. Just
as the officer was ready to make a reach
for him, however, Jones lowered his head
into position and used 1t as a battering
ram, almost turning the officer upside down.
Stahl arose, Joined in the chase and finally
landed Jones behind the bars.
Jones told Judge Kimball that he did not
wish to explain the matter, and in default
Of $40 fine which was imposed he will be
locked up for one month.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
General News Items Gathered West of
Rock Creek

An unusual number Of people were out
skating on the river yesterday, the sport
lasting the entire day and many remaining
out until late in the evening. only one ac-
cident was reported. young lady fell In
near the old Independent Ice Company s
storehouse, about half a mile west OF the
Aaueduct bridge. She was quickly rescued
and sustained no injury.
The detail of extra policemen on the Ice
Is deemed necessary. A forcible instance
Of this need was demonstrated yesterday.
Two young men became involved In an al
teroation over a shinny ball. Their pusi-
listic attitude attracted the attention or
about 200 skaters in about two minutes.
Within five minutes fully 900 people were
on the ice surrounding the combatants:
That the ice held such a weight is regarded
as wonderful. The large number OF people
covering such small area We're SO intent
upon looking at the scene Of the trouble
that they gave no thought to danger.
Through the efforts of Precinct Detective
Frank Burrows the crowd was broken up
before any catastrophe happened.
Adam Lochboehler, aged thirty-eight, re-
siding at 100 New Jersey avenue, while
crossing the tracks of the Great Falls cleo
trio railroad at the Foxhall road crossing
about o'clock Saturday night. was struck
by west-bound car and run over. He
was extremely fortunate In escaping with
out injury, the wheels Of the car passing
over the heel Of his boot and tearing it off
without other damage. His face was
scratched in several places, but injuries re-
ceived were more painful than serious. he
was brought to 36th and Prospect avenue
on another train and conveyed to the
Georgetown University Hospital In the pa
troll wagon.
Car 327 of the Metropolitan railroad col
lded with one of the delivery wagons Of
the Merchants Parcel Delivery Company
Saturday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. The
wagon was In charge of James Clark col
ored, Of 112 Van street, and was upset by
the force of the collision. One Of the
wheels of the vehicle was broken, and some
of the furniture with which the wagon was
loaded was also injured.

wealth is invested in personal property,
which Is transferred at will. and therefore
man may dispose of it, no matter II IL
Is all he possesses, without his Wife's con-
currence, and leave her without any pro-
vision at all, and the law does not prohibit
such injustice; indeed, if the attempt was
made business would be paralyZed. Why
should one branch Of business be hampered
and others not? Real estate is as much an
article Of trade and speculation today as
stocks and bonds. or a horse, or barrel
Of flour. The policy of the law should be
to facilitate business in all it's branches,
and to remove all possible causes of delay
and inconvenience. Every business man
knows that the sickness of a wife, or her
absence from the city. or even her unrea-
sonable refusal to join in a deed, has pre-
vented very important real estate transac-
tions, and thereby caused loss not only to
the husband, but to the country, by pre-
venting the Improvement OF property. He
also knows that nine-tenths OF the wives OF
the District execute deeds matter of
course, and grumble much at the trouble
and Inconvenience caused them thereby;
but the exceptions cause the trouble to
business. Thus the bad wives are protect
ed and the good are not.
Every lawyer also knows that the refusal
to Join on the part Of wife in deed is a
fruitful cause Of domestic infellcity, for
either the wife executes deed of
course, at her husbands request, of if she
refuses, 1t is a cause of estrangement,
which frequently results in separation and
divorce.
BY section 1154 of the code, married wo-
men are empowered to dispose of their
property, and section 1859 deprives the hus-
band Of courtesy. At common law the per-
sonalty and practically the realty of a
wife was the property of the husband, and
it was partly to do justice to her for this
that the dover right was given her, but
under the above sections these rights of
the husband are taken away, and what she
has Is absolutely hers. In justice should
not the husband during life be placed upon
the same footing? Thirteen Of the states
have taken this view Of the matter and re-
pealed dover right absolutely-is there any
reason why the District Of Columbia should
be behind the age?
1t Is impossible to prevent rascal so
investing his property as to prevent his
wife having any share in 1t. Why then
hamper and inconvenience trade by the
attempt? 1t is hoped the Commissioners
and Congress will take broader and more
just view of the matter than the attorney.
AS to the amendment to section 52S, the
only reason that can be seen for objection
to 1t is that 1t would deprive lawyers OF
A similar law has been In force In Virginia
for a number Of years. and has worked ad-
mtrably, and caused no confusion. 1t seems
that after enacting the law upon the ad-
vice of the judges, the bar, and Judge Cox,
Congress should at least give 1t trial and
not repeal 1t before it has gone into use.
The amendment is only to remedy a YER
bal omission, which was evidently intend
ed. that 10. to make the section apply to
deeds Of trust as well as mortgages.

The Milk Supply.
% the Editor Of The Evening Star,


No doubt the people Of Washington took
a deep interest in reading the recent article
from Paris signed by Sterlinf Heilig and
tho later editorial in The Star on the
milk question. There Is no doubt that
every one who read the result of the in
vestigations Of the Rockefeller Institute of
New York referred to by The Star felt
that similar conditions must OF necessity
prevail on dairy farms In the vicinity Of
Washington. TO say that the dirt and
adulteration OF milk are rank poison is not
putting 1t too strong. A well-known gen.
tleman told me that his handsome New
dog was killed by eating the mu-
cilaginous refuse gathered by the separa-
tor from the milk, and another gentleman
sick unto death on account of eating the
same stuff. II such ingredients In milk kill
animals 1t is reasonable to suppose that
they will kill human beings. especially ba.
the filth there Is in milk produced under
primitive surroundings and conditions and
IT Is time that the public should take in
terest in the matter sufficiently to protect
traced to impure milk and water.
II Parisians can form q defensive league
composed OF the most prominent citizens of
Paris to protect their health from unclean

Let us have public meeting and let all
housewives be present and resolve that they

adulterated milk and cream: that they viii
keep q list OF dairies which are known to
be up to date, sanitary institutions. which
list they will advertise freely, and that
they win pledge themselves to patronixe
such dairies only. A resolution Of this
sort would stir the public to action and

similar resolution, and has decided to pro.

that the municipal council of Trieste will
