!. AT MOUNT VERNON.
Prince Henry Places Wreatlls on
 Washingtons Tomb.


 WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-Prince Henry journeyed to Mount Vernon yes terday afternoon and placed two wreaths i'll the tomb of Washington. He approached the grave of the first president with barred head, and that there might be nothing irreverent in the ceremony he asked the holders of q dozen cameras who stood round to re- frain from photographing him.
 The royal visitor and his party were taken to Mount Vernon by special train over the Washington, Arlington and Mount Vernon Electric railway. The prince at the conclusion of the memorial service at the capitol drove directly to the special train. Two large observation cars were provided, and from them the prince saw the Long bridge and the headlands of northern Virginia, historic to Americans since colonial days.
 It was 2:3O o'clock when the special departed, and the run to Mount Yer non occupied fifty-fve minutes. Prince Henry walked to the Washington home and was driven from there down over the slope of the hill to the tomb. When the iron gate of the tomb was opened, he removed his cap and entered. Two large wreaths made at Washington by his order already had been sent to the tomb, and, taking them up, he formal ly set them in place. A group of more than q hundred men that stood in the approach to the grave uncovered, and that, with their silence, added to the spirit of solemnity.
 Fifty feet down the sward that falls away from the tomb Prince Henry planted linden tree. The tree had been set in place prior to his arrival, and, taking q spade, the prince filled the earth in around it's roots The prince was taken to the old Washing ton house by Superintendent H. H. Dodge and there met a delegation of the Mount Vernon Ladies' association headed by Mrs. Justine Van Rensse- laer Townsend of New York. He spent a few minutes in looking at the Wash ington relics and then departed for Washington. Large crowds watched his arrival and departure, and his course through historic old Alexandria was lined with people, who cheered him cordially.
 It was 80 o'clock when Washington was reached on the return trip, and the prince was driven at once to the German embassy.
 Prince Henry, accompanied by Elm bassador von Holleben, dined at the White House last night with President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The dinner was entirely unofficial and of personal family character, and, owing to Me Kinley exercises making this day one of mourning, there were no formal tcasts or exchanges, the purpose being to permit a more intimate personal ex- change than was possible during the formalities of official interchange last Monday. Others present at the dinner were General von Plessen of the prince's staff, Miss Roosevelt Miss Ca rev and Senator and Mrs Lodge.

A STORMY HEARING.
RaiIroad Employees Oppose Ean
 Other on Payment Hill.

Railroad Employees Oppose Each
 Other on Payment Hill.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 2S.--Angry lo- comotive engineers yesterday after noon hurled defiance at angry locomo- tive firemen, trainmen, car builders, boiler makers and machinists at the hearing given by the assembly labor and industries committee on Assembly man Bourke's bill providing for semi monthly payment of salaries on all railroads. The engineers generally con tended that pay once a month was q matter that should be left to the rail road without interference by the legis- lature. They also coatended that a man who. had money in his pocket too often was tempted to spend. The fire men and other railroad employees who advocated the bill contended that the man who paid cash got better results for his money than the man who had to be trusted u month. 1t was also maintained that the higher salaried men, such as engineers, could afford to wait a month, where the poorer paid employee needed money i'll between.
 Accusations were made by the advo- cates of the bill that the officials of the various railroads of the state had com pelled their employees under pain of dismissal to sign q protest against the bill. This protest contained several thousand names and was filed with the committed The locomotive engineers contended that they had circulated the protest of their own accord.
 After lively contention over what organization the representative on ei- ther side could rightfully be accredited to the hearing ended.

THE GRANT MEMORIAL.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star: - q

To the Editor Of The Evening Star: ~ g.
1 have Just seen newspaper clipping in
which it Is stated that an attorney was in
Washington last week representing me in
legal capacity in the matter Of the Grant
Monument award. 1 desire to make this
statement:
No action in regard to the award of the
Grant monument has been .taken by me
through any attorney further than having
Governor Campbell. many months ago, pre-
sent a statement to Colonel Bingham, In
which was a request for an extension OF
time in submitting the final model. In that
letter 1 indicated that If 1 were present.
would draw to his attention the fact that
my competitors model could not be erected
within the appropriation. as stated IN the
circular governing the competition. Govern
or Campbell was asked to go to Washington
as a personal friend because at that time
I was compelled to be in Memphis, Tenn,
and could not appear in person.
1t is not true that have engaged any at
torney to make protest of any kind, nor
have I procured any attorney by reason OF
friendship or otherwise to do this or any
thing indicated in the clipping printed In
your paper.
I made & contention by letter to mem
hers of the committee that the other design
submitted could not be completed within the
amount fixed by Congress, and so mention
ed by the commission as restriction IN the
competitions. still make the same conten-
tion' but have never until this time so stat
ed ii publicly. Further than this have au-
thorized nothing to be done.
If each member OF the committee, experts
as well as laymen. after individual inVestl-
CATION satisfies himself that this contention
Is groundless, and the award Is then made
upon the recommendation Of the jury OF ex-
perts. composed of sculptors and architects.

PLUMBING ORDINANCE.
Master Plumbers and "Outside" Men
Are Almost Satisfied.

The Council committee on judiciary. in
whose hands the ordinance providing for
a sanitary inspection OF plumbing and the
appointment of a plumbing inspector has
been for several weeks. met last night to
discuss the ordinance Mr.. Expert, of the
committee, was absent, but Mr.. Negley and
Mr.. Kelley were present A committee
composed of w. j. Freany. c. Aneshaensel
and E. A. Strong from the Master Plumb
ers' Association, was present to support
the ordinance. while Henry T. Hudson, c.
A. Johnson and Mr.. Payne represented
those plumbers net in the masters asso-
citation.
Mr.. Hudson opposed Section 5 of the
ordinance because it provided for the ap-
pointment of board of three examiners
and did not specify how they should be
chosen. nor that the examinations should
be conducted in public. He charged that
the Master Plumbers Associa ton was a
combination supported by the wholesale
supply houses and that by reason of II he
had to buy every pound of his materials
in Chicago He said with a board COM
posed of members from that organization
and an inspector appointed from ii the
outside plumbers would have TO quit the
business. He urged that the section be
amended that this board would repre-
sent all influences or be absolutely disin-
Mr.. Freany of the masters association,
said that organization would be pleased TO
have Mr.. Hudson a member Of the board,
and that he spoke for the organization
when he said il would indorse his appoint
ment. Mr.. Hudson said he would gladly
serve, but the purpose of his remarks was
to make ii absolutely sure that all plumb
ers would receive fair treatment.
The committee read the ordinance by
sections and several changes were dis
cussed. One section was found TO contain
a provision that each plumber must fur
nish a surety company bond. The COM
mittee changed this TO a good and suffi-
cient' bond. Another section provided only
for air tests of plumbing jobs, and the
committee changed this section so as TO
include "air and water tests" There were
some other trivial changes in the language
of the sections, but as a whole the ordi-
nance was approved.
Mr.. Hudson advocated complete examina-
tionS, including the tests of practical work
manship The opposing elements of the
masters were more nearly reconciled than
ever before, and the committee was of
opinion that an ordinance had been finally
framed that would satisfy both
IL is likely the ordinance will be reported
on favorably at the next meeting of the
Council.
