EXTENDING CAR LINE
ON ELEVENTH STREET
Delay Of Traction Company Variously
Explained TO District Authorities.

Eugene G. JeTreys. Of 1928 Yale Street
northwest, Will be informed by the Dis
trict Commissioners that the presence
OF a spring in Eleventh Street has never
been advanced by the Washington Trac-
ton and Electric Company as a reason
for not extending its Eleventh Street
line. Mr.. JeGreys the other day wrote
to the Commissioners saying the com
pany had given this reason for the de-
lay, and requesting the immediate drain
age Of Eleventh Street. so that the cor
poration would no longer have an ex-
cuse for not carrying forward the ex-
tension of its line, which it has been
authorized 10 do by Congress.
Morris Hacker, superintendent OF
Roads. reported with reference to the
improvement of Eleventh Street above
FLORIDA Avenue. that there IS a spring
there, but cutters have been laid. and as
soon as certain grading, now in prog
ress, can be finished. the drainage of
the roadway will be provided for.
The Commissioners have also sent a
letter to the vice president of the com
pauy informing him of the receipt of Mr..
Jefrey's letter, and its contents. The
Commissioners further state that no
such explanation has been given them
for failure to undertake work on the
line. They say they are ready 10 per-
feet the drainage OF the street, and co
operate with the company to that ex-
tent in preparing the roadway for the

THE COMPLETE MEDICATION

Of the Lamented Sir Hector Macdonald from the Charge Made Against Him. To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: l It will be remembered that sometime ago Major-General Sir Hector Macdon- aid, of the British army, military com mander of Ceylon, while on his way l from London to Colombo to face charges of immoral conduct, committed suicide in hotel in Paris. The famous general (who rose from the ranks) was suffering from the unheaIed wound of a Boer bullet at Harrisburg and the iafter-effects of sunstroSe, and on read I ing an article in a New York paper Icommenting adversely upon him threw down the paper with gesture of in- patience. retired to his room and took his own life with his army service re- volver.
 It now appears from the finding of the commission appointed to inquire into the charges brought against Sir Hector that they were absolutely with out foundation. We give the verdict of the commission below (from the North ern Chronicle of Inverness, Scotland), and our Scottish friends will be pleased at this vindication of their latest of many heroes:
 Government Buildings, Colombo, June 20, 1903. In reference to the grave charges made against the late Sir Hector Mac donald, we, the appointed and under signed commissioners, individually and. collectively, declare on oath that, after | the most careful, minute and exhaus- tive inquiry and investigation of the whole of the circumstances and facts connected with the sudden and unex- pected death of the late Sir Hector Macdonald, unanimously and unnistak- ably find absolutely no reason or cause whatsoever which would create feelings such as would determine suicide in preference to conviction of any crime affecting the moral and irreproachable character of so brave, so fearless, so glorious and unparalleled hero, and we firmly believe that the causes which gave rise to the inhuman and cruel sug- gestions of crime were prompted through vulgar feelings of spite and jealousy in his rising to such high rank of distinction in the British army, and, while we have taken the most re- liable and trustworthy evidence from every accessible and conceivable source, have without hesitation come to the conclusion that there is not visi- ble the slightest particle of truth in the foundation of any crime, and we find the late Sir Hector Macdonald cruelty assassinated by vile and slandering tongues While honourably acquitting the late Sir Hector Macdonald of any charge whatever we cannot but deplore the sad circumstances of the case that have fallen so disastrously on one whom we have found innocent of any crime attributed to him.
