various pests and forts be re-estab-

The officers assert that since the can
teens were abolished assertions and all
kinds of trouble for the enlisted men
have increased. while thousands of low
class drinking saloons have sprung up
around all OF the reservations.
It will be remembered that the can
teens were abolished two years ago, az
ter long campaign by the Wcman's
Christian Temperance Union. Since that
time there has been no liquor sold at
the posts and forts except in the off,
GERS clubs.
The only member of the Military At
fairs Committee of the last Congress in
the city and who is certain to be re-
appointed at the coming session, is Rep
resentative James Hay of Virginia.
Representative Hay is stopping at the

There has been no cut In cabin rates
since the building of most of the great

AS each succeeding vessel has been put

would suffer severely in a rate cutting

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Broken asunder

DISTRICT KEPT BUSY
ON DR.. COLLINS REQUEST
Fifteen Endorsements and
About SO Damage.
END IS NOT YET IN SIGHT
Liability Not Yet Clearly Established
But Major Sylvester Recon-
mends Payment.

The request of Or. A. r. Collins, 400
E Street southwest, for reimbursement
to cover damage by fire in the rear of
the Fourth precinct police station, fled
with the Commissioners August "a. bids
fair to establish a record in the matter
of Endorsements. Yesterday afternoon
Major Sylvester placed the fifteenth in
dorsement on the papers, and the status
of the request is not materially changed
from two weeks ago.
DR.. Collins claimed his property was
damaged to the amount of $50 from
FIRE caused by the explosion of gaso-
lene negligently stored in the rear of
the stationhouse. He held the District
responsible through it's agent, the Po-
lice Department.
Going the Rounds.
The case went 10 Major Sylvester,
Lieutenant Matthews, back to the major.
to Commissioner West. to the Superin-
tendent of Repairs, to Captain Harding,
Commissioner Biddle, and back to Com
missioner West BY this time the amount
of damage had been reduced to $40. but
the responsibility was still undeter-
mined.
Major Sylvester was asked to appoint
a committee of three to investigate
further. Its report was made to the
major. who recommended to the Com
missioners that the small amount be
paid. Commissioner West asked the
Auditor to determine the method of pay
ment, but Mr.. Garrison carefully quail
fed his recommendation by stating II
the Commissioners ARE satisfied as 10
the responsibility of the District, the
amount could be paid from the contin-
gent appropriation.
The case went back TO the Chief of
Police, who makes the following indorse-
ment. which is the fifteenth:
Pay and Be Done.
Every precaution was taken by the
District agents at this precinct against
the fire, they being unable in any way
to guard against commission, and that
it appears, was the cause. II the COM
plainant's property was injured through

neighborhoods, it appears to me that in
equity the small amount asked for
should be allowed"
Much adverse comment was heard
yesterday among District officials con
corning this last Endorsement. the
opinion being that as the responsibility
of the District had not been established
it should not be made TO pay the dam
age. 1t is argued that this is a dan
gerous precedent, and IL in future dam
age amounting to hundreds Of thous-
ands OF dollars should result from the
same cause. the District would have ia
adhere TO the policy laid down in this
instance. Commissioner West has not
acted in the matter.
