APPEAL TO COURTS.
Will Be Taken to Test Constitutional
ity of Law

PAWTUCKET, R. l., June 14-It was ex-
pected today, in view of the withdrawal Of
the deputy sheriffs yesterday and the
proclamation by the mayor asking the citi-
Zens to conduct themselves in an orderly
manner, that the railway system would be
in operation throughout the city before
night. Should the regular police show
themselves able to cope with the situation
the militia will be gradually withdrawn.
Chief of Police Rice is engaging additional
officers for service when the troops are re-
called. An effort was made today by the
Pawtucket Merchants Association to deal
with the direct cause of the strike itself,
VIZ, the disputed ten-hour law for street
railway employees.
The traction company was willing to give
the men a ten-hour day, but would only paw
for the actual time worked
The employees demand eleven hours nav
for ten-hour day. The company considers
the law unconstitutional, and the Mer-
chants Association has requested the at
torney general to take measures to have
the law tested in the courts.

A Word for Harsh Warfare.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
During service in the Union army from '61
to '65, and also in the Spanish and Philip
pine wars of nearly three years, two years
of which were spent on the Island of Luzon
serving in the I'd Division, Sth Army Corps
under General Macarthur during most of
the active operations against the Filipinos
il was my fortune to be associated with all
of those officers who at this time have been
so roundly abused by some of our promi-
nent citizens and by the press in part espe-
cially General ]. il. Smith, Generals Bell,

judgment if the methods he carried out in

AN AQUATIC CARNIVAL.
Elaborate Preparations Bein Made by
the Potomacs.

The Potomac Boat Club held an enthus-
iastic meeting last night and mapped out
the plans for their aquatic carnival on the
river for Wednesday evening next. Mr.
John Hadley Doyle acted as president,
while Mr.. E. Richard Gasch was secretary.
The committee under whose charge the af-
fair is controlled reported that assurances
had been received from the owners Of fifty
canoes and row boats that they would be
in line, decorated and festooned in a man
ner that would reflect credit on the organi-
cation, which, added to the crafts of the
organization. will make 1t most attractive
aquatic display. The affair Is entirely new
to this section, but it Is an annual occur
renee on the Charles river at Boston. and
the Potomacs hope by this first venture to
make it just as popular on the Potomac.
Many of the members are going to a great
expense in fitting up their crafts, and 1t is
expected that this rivalry will produce
some effects that will be gorgeous. The
Usual dance will follow the water carnival.
and admission to the club house will be by
card. The reception committee is Messrs.
Gasch, Herman, Stodder, BuynitZky, DAILY,
Whipple and Slaybaugh, while the carnival
will be in charge of Captain Stevens and
Lieutenants Whipple, and Slaybaugh.

Recommendation Approved.

Venabe & Brelsford, plumbers, have re-
quested permission of the District Com
missoners to make connection with the
present downspout on the northwest cor
ner Of The Stanhope, an apartment house
at New Jersey avenue, LIST and H streets
for the purpose of draining part of the
walk leading to the building, half of which
drains toward the street and the other half
toward the building. The stated reason
for asking the permission is that in order
to secure a separate outlet for the drain
the plumbers would be compelled to cut
through a thick wall, break the concrete
in the cellar and dig ten feet.
The acting engineer commissioner has ap-
proved recommendation of the inspector
of plumbing that the request of the plumb
ers be granted, the office insisting, however.
that in making the connection the same
be properly trapped independent Of the
trap at the foot of the rain leader.
