THE SWEEPING OF P STREET.
Residents Want Work Done in Morn
ing During Summer.

ing During sumner.
A number of residents Of Georgetown, In
letter to the Commissioners, make an ap-
peal in behalf Of the residents Of street.
as follows: 1.-THE street is of Belgian blocks
which give forth as much noise as cobble-
stones and all the, heavy traffic that passes
uptown goes along this street, as well as
ice, milk. ash and garbage wagons, and the
street cars at night In summer P street Is
swept in the eyening-along the north side
about Z o'clock, and the sweepers return
along the opposite side about midnight,
when the community is securing Its first
sleep. The runbling of the heavy carts and
the shovels of the negro laborers scraping
the stones andathe filing of water carts at
the plugs make a perfect pandemonium. II
the pavement was Of asphalt, it would not
be so nerve-wearing to the residents on the
street. The cars run all night now and the
street is swept twice each week If 1t can
be arranged, viii the Commissioners not
order that P street be swept in the morn
ing as is done in the winter season? When
we are Indoors and busy the noise is not
noticed in the traffic of the day:
Warner Stutler. superintendent OF the
street cleaning department, has reported
that the street In question is scheduled for
machine sweeping three times a week. Sec
ton Of the sweeping regulations provides
that machine sweeping shall be done be,
tween the hours Of 10 o'clock at night and
7 O'Clock in the morning from April to
November Is, and between II noon and
O clock at night from November 16 to

ALLEGED TO BE uNwARRANTED.
Action Against Justice Clabaugh De
nounced by His Friends.

In connection with the protest Of the Anti
Trust League. filed last Saturday at the
White House, against the selection by the
President of Associate Justice Harry M.
Clabaugh for appointment as chief justice
of the Supreme Court of the District Of CO.
lumbia, the friends of Justice Clabaugh de-
clare that the action Of the league Is abso-
lutely unwarranted.
1t is understood that the protest Is based
on the assertion that at the instigation OF
the defendants-seven railroad companies
and in the absence Of counsel for the plain
tiff and without notice to the latter, JUS
tice Clabaugh, August 9, 1901, dismissed
certain suit at law. The proceeding was
instituted March S6, 1885, by William X
Tubman against the Baltimore and ONO
Railroad Company, the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railroad Company. the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, the Washington. Ohio
and Western Railroad Company, the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company, the Nor
folk and Western Railroad Company and
the Virginia. Midland Railway Company.
The plaintiff sought to recover damages
in the sum Of 100000, charging that the
defendants entered into conspiracy for
defeating the plaintiff In certain suits and
of preventing him from securing proper
compensation for the use of certain
patent.
After the lapse Of five or six years, is 1t
explained, Chief Justice Bingham, upon
mOtlOn DeiuS dIliiuuuCcu lhdt
he would dismiss the suit for want Of
prosecution. Before the formal written
order of dismissal was prepared, however,
Chief Justice Bingham departed from the
city on a vacation trip. Later the order
providing for carrying into effect the ruiz
ing announced by Chief Justice Bingham,
was signed, 1t Is stated. in the ordinary
course of business by Justice Clabaugh, who
was the only member of the court then
sitting, the time being midsummer.
months motion
to restrain the cause was filed. This mo-
ton was overruled by Chief Justice Bing-
ham. not by Justice Clabaugh. An appeal
from the ruling to the Court Of Appeals was
taken. December q last the mandate Of the
Court Of Appeals. dismissing the appeal
with costs and directing that "the said
defendants recover against the said plain
tiff. William *. Tubman. for their costs
herein expended and have execution there
for" was sent down.
The foregoing. the friends Of Justice Cla-
baugh say. are the facts in the case, and 1t
is added they are borne out by the record.

WILL COUNT ONE PRECINCT.
Chicago's Election Commissioners
Ignore Protest by Lorimer.

CHICAGO, March 3O.-Interest in the
Lorimer-Durborrow congressional election
contest early today centered in a confer
ence between the election commissioners
and attorneys for both factions. at which
statements were expected to be presented
which would result either in the question of
Jurisdiction being submitted to the supreme
court, or the precipitating Of fight in the
commissions rooms when an attempt
should be made to count the ballots.
Previous to the conference, Attorney
Mayer. special counsel for the election
commissioners. declared that the ballots
would be counted at 10 o'clock. The chairs
and tables were removed from the board
rooms in preparation for the count, and a
squad of thirty policemen were distributed
throughout the rooms and corridors ad-
jacent.
The board of election commissioners in
the face of objections by Lorimer's attor-
neys decided to count the ballots in one pre-
cinct and to make up an agreed case to be
carried to the Supreme Court. Thereupon
they began to count the ballots behind
locked doors.

FOR EIGHT HOURS A DAY.
Agreement With Ornamental Iron
Workers in This City.

1t is not expected that the strike Of the
ornamental iron workers, which had its
origin at the works Of A. F. Jorss on 18th
street the early part Of last week, will be-
come general locally. IN view Of the fact
that Mr.. F. 8. Gichner, proprietor of the
Gichner iron works on 18th street, has ac-
ceded to the demand OF his employees for
an eight-hour work day. Under the pro-
visions Of an agreement reached between
Mr.. Gichner and his employees at a confer
ence late Saturday evening the hours Of
the iron workers will be reduced to eight
hours a day beginning one month from to-
day. This agreement affects thirty-five
workmen.
The situation Of the strike against the
A. F. Jorss works remains unchanged.
employer and employee refusing to concede
anything. A conference was held yester-
day morning between a committee repre-
senting the strikers and the officials Of
the works, but was productive Of no re-
suits. The strikers say "eight hours or
nothing" while the officials Of the works
say mine hours or nothing" and. as a re-
suit. the difficulty is likely to remain UNI
settled for some time to come.

RESPONSES ARE MANY
THIRTY-sIx STATES READY 10
HAVE TROOPS INSPECTED.
Preparing to- Garry Out the Provisions
Of the New Militia
sE seJ1
law.

Prompt ande satisfactory responses have
been received at the War Department from
the adjutants general OF the various states
OF the Union to the recent telegraphfe In
quiry as to when the organized militia OK
the states and territories will be ready for
personal inspection by army officers In Or
der to determine the number of magazine
arms and equipments to be issued to them
under the provisions of the new militia
law. With but few exceptions the state
troops will be ready for the proposed om-
cial inspection during the month of April,
and it is expected that the War Depart
nent will be able to publicly announce Its
plans for the inspection in few days.
The states which have announced their
readiness for inspection, either during April
or at the convenience Of the War Depart
ment, are Alabama, Arizona. California,
Colorado. Connecticut Georgia, il1nois, IN
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland. Massachusetts,, Michigan. Mime
sofa, Mississippi. Missouri Nevada, New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma.
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
South Dakota. Texas. Utah. Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, or thirty
six states in all,
The militia of the District of Columbia,
OF Arizona, Of Utah, of Washington and OF
Wyoming are already armed with the reg
ulation magazine muskets. In the state OF
Delaware the militia is being reorganized
and is not ready for inspection at this time.
similar state of affairs exists In Florida.
and it is suggested that the inspection OF
the troops of that state be postponed until
August. In the case of New Hampshire
the militia will be encamped at Concord
June 15, and it Is suggested that they be
inspected at that time. The new adjutant
general of Tennessee suggests that the in
spection of the militia of that state be de-
ferred until May or June.
There are 2,065 different organizations in
the various states stationed at 1, 1855 differ
ent places. It will therefore be seen that
the proposed inspection will be an under
taking Of great magnitude. Plans for the
inspection are being formulated by the war
college board and will be put into execu-
ton as rapidly as possible by Col. Parker
of the adjutant generals department, who
is in charge Of the militia division.

PERMIT REVOKED.
Action Taken by Commissioners Re
garding Proposed Auto Warehouse.

garding Proposed Auto Warehouse.
The corporation counsel this afternoon
rendered an opinion to the District Com
missioners holding that the permit issued
to Miss Alice L. Riggs for an automobile
warehouse at 18th street and Rhode Island
avenue was improvidently issued, and that
the commissioners have authority to re-
woke the same. Commissioner West. who
has been handling the matter. moved that
the opinion be approved and the permit re-
voked. This has been approved by the
board Of Commissioners.
The counsel Mr.. Duvall, says that in the
application for the permit George Howard.
attorney for Miss Riggs said the building
was to be an automobile barn and repair
shop" At the hearing granted by the
Commissioners to protesting property own
ers in the neighborhood a representative
of Mr. Howard admitted that automobiles
bought at the shop were to be kept for the
buyers. The counsel holds that this would
constitute an automobile livery stable In
the meaning Of the police regulation which
requires the written consent of IS per cent
of the adjacent property owners before
such an establishment may be maintained.
Mr.. Duvall is further of the opinion that
the power of attorney under which Mr..
Howard acted in applying for the permit
in the name of Miss Riggs was not sufh-
cient authority in the premises.

INVESTIGATING CHARGES.
Inquiry Being Made Into Lieut.. Col
Howze's Conduct.

The War Department is investigating
charges that have been filled against Lieut..
Col. Robert L. Howe, who was in COM
mand of post in northern Luzon in 1899.
The charges relate to cruelties to Fill
pinos, allegations being made that Colonel
Howe was cognizant of the fact that the
natives were whipped to death and that no
punishment Of the offenders was ordered.
It is stated at the War Department that
SO far as investigated 1t appears that the
alleged outrage was perpetrated by native
officers while Col Howe was absent after
hostile Filipinos. The matter has been
brought to the attention OF Col Howe, and
a partial reply made that an investigation
at the time showed that only one native
had died and that his death was not due
to i'll treatment, but to diabetes.
Reports Of alleged outrages in the Philip
pines for which Colonel Howe and some
other officers are said to be responsible are
part of General Miles report of his recent
investigation in the Philippines.
