REPORTS ON PENDING BILLS.

Commissioners Pass Upon Measures
for Street improvements.
The District Commissioners have made a
report to the Senate District committee on
the bill providing for the extension of AL
bemarle street northwest from Rock Creek
Park to it's intersection with 42d street
northwest. The Commissioners saw that
the total cost Of the extension as contem-
plated by the bill would be $65OOO. They
are in favor Of modifying the provisions Of
the bill to extend the street west only as
far as Grant road, the total cost of which
would be 900.
The Commissioners have. also reported on
the proposed amendment to the District
appropriation bill providing for paving Hol-
mead avenue from Whitney avenue to Ly-
decker avenue and Lydecker avenue to
18th street. They say that this pavement
II laid Will not connect with any existing
paved roadway, whereas it is the policy OF
the Commissioners that paved roadway s
shall extend from the city proper in un-
broken lines.
The Commissioners have estimated for
the paving of Whitney avenue from 14th
street to Holmead avenue. This would form
the necessary connecting link The Com
missioners say however that the item for
whitney avenue is far down on the list
and 1t is doubtful If it will be reached this
year. The Commissioners saw the two
items for paving should be provided at the
same time.

KEEPING H STREET OPEN
col. RIDDLES RECOMMENDATION
TO HIS COLLEAGUES.
Commissioners Stated to BE Unalter-
ably Opposed to Proposition In
Pending Bill.

Colonel John Biddle. the Engineer Com
missioner of the District, today announced
that he would recommend to his associates
of the District board that the Commits
sioners strongly urge upon Congress the
necessity of keeping H street open in the
consideration of the union depot and termi-
nal plans of the Pennsylvania and Balti-
more and Ohio railroads. The plans. as
outlined in the bill now pending before
Congress, contemplate the closing of the
street named. 1t Is understood that the
Commissioners have always been unalter-
ably opposed to any such arrangement,
while the citizens have been strong in de-
nouncing any proposed movement to OBJ
struct H street to the point of impassa-
bility.
In their earlier communications with the
engineers OF the two railroad companies
interested In the union depot scheme the
Commissioners stated that they were op-
posed to the closing of the street.
During the past two weeks the engineer
officers Of the District and the engineers OF
the railroads have been in constant con-
sultation regarding the plans, and a num-
Der of schemes are under consideration to
remove the Objectionable features. Col.
Biddle Is anxious that the District shall
have as little expense as possible placed
upon 1t through the elevation of the rail-
road tracks and the construction Of the
union station, and the plan that seems
most suitable and economical will be the
one finally adopted IL the recommendations
or the Commissioners are followed out in
Congress.
Plan for Reducing EXPENSE
One plan for reducing the expense Of the
Improvement is suggested In lowering the
grade OF the tracks and the station. As
at present fixed the main track level OF
the union station will be about forty feet
above the present grade Of Massachusetts
avenue at the proposed depot site.
TO elevate the avenue, the intersecting
streets and the abutting property to this
level would cost a very great deal 1t has
been suggested that the track level might
be brought down to twenty feet above the
present grade Of Massachusetts avenue.
This would, of course, materially reduce
the cost of filling at that point On the
other hand 1t would throw the joint tracks
practically on a level with H street, and to
keep that thoroughfare open it would be
necessary to build bridge some 500 feet
long over the tracks. The approaches to
the bridge would probably be quite steep
and there would necessarily be a great
deal Of filling to be done on the street and
the adjoining property, it is pointed out
that would be saved at the station site
would have to be expended on H street
and the parallel streets to the north that
might be kept open.
The entire plan Is in it's first stages The
only thing that the Commissioners are GER
tain Of at this time, 1t is stated is that
they Will strongly recommend that H street
be kept open.

SUES FOR $4,000.
Mrs. Baker Alleges Alienation of Her
Husbands Affection.


Husbands Affection.
Alleging that the defendant has alien
ated the affections of Nathan H. Baker,
the plaintiffs husband. Mrs. Fannie B.
Baker, through Attorneys Davis and Tuck
er, today. in the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia, filed suit at law
against Elizabeth D. Robinson, to recover
damages in the sum Of $4,000.
According to Mrs. Baker, her husband s
affection for her has been wrongfully,
wickedly and unjustly destroyed by the
defendant. The latter, so the court is in
formed, persuaded, induced and caused
Mr.. Baker to leave Mrs. Baker and live
with the defendant. 1t is added that he
continues to live with her.
. By reason of the alleged alienation, Mrs.
Baker declares, she has wholly lost and
been deprived of the comfort, fellowship,
society, aid, assistance and support of her
husband In her domestic and personal af-
fairs.
The plaintiff and her husband, it is stated
in the declaration, have been residents of
the District of Columbia since May Is, 1898.

GOVERNOR TAFT ARRIVES
At ONCE CONFERs WITH THE SEC
RETARY OF WAR.
VIII BE the Latter's Guest in Wash.
ington-Excuses Himself
to Reporters.

Judge Taft. civil governor of the Philip
pines, arrived here this afternoon at lila
O'Clock from his home In Cincinnati where
he made short stop on his trip across the
country from San Francisco. The train
was nearly an hour late In consequence OF
the prevailing storm. Governor Taft, who
was unaccompanied, was met at the rail-
road station by General Corbin, adjutant
general of the army, and getting into an
automobile was taken to the War Depart
ment and shown at once into the private
Office of Secretary Root, who was await
ing his arrival. The latter intended to
have met the distinguished traveller at the
station, but was prevented by press of
business at the department, and 1t was at
his suggestion that General Corbin did the
honors.
After an exchange of greetings, Secretary
Root took charge of Gov. Taft, and they
went to the Secretarys house on Rhode
Island avenue, where luncheon was served.
Judge Taft will be the Secretary's guest SO
long as he remains in Washington. AL
though he shows signs of the recent severe
illness through which he has passed, Gov.
Taft looks in fairly good health, and says
that he Is feeling well. He excused himself
to the reporters this afternoon, on the
ground that he had not yet fully recovered
from the fatigue of travel.
During the afternoon Gov. Taft gave Sec
retary Root an oral account of the cond1-
ton of affairs in the Philippines at the
time he left there, about six weeks ago,
and briefly outlined the character Of the
legislation which, in his opinion, is neceS-
sary to meet the requirements of the situa-
ton and to develop the material resources
of the islands. The main purpose Of Gov.
Tafts visit to Washington at this time is
to confer with President Roosevelt and
other officials of the government in re-
gard to the legislative enactments neces-
sary to the establishment of peace and
prosperity in the Philippines. 1t is expect
ed that he will be heard by the congress
sional committees considering the various
measures affecting the government of the
Philippines, but no plans have yet been
