MUST APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Opinion Approved Regarding Claim of
Market Company.

Commissioner Mcfarland today ap-
proved an opinion submitted to the Com
missioners by Auditor Garrison, which
holds that the Washington Market Com
pany will be obliged to make an individual
appeal to Congress for money due the COM
pany for repairs to the building used by
the District National Guard as an armory
The claim of the market company has
been pending since the Spanish war, and 1t
involves the sum of So, 347.25, for furnishing
1912 lockers and other improvements for
the use of the National Guardsmen. The
deficiency estimates for the fiscal year 1899
submitted to Congress- included an item to
pay this indebtedness, which had been
acknowledged and declared equitable by
Gen. Geo. H. Harries. commanding the Dis
trict militia. Congress, however failed to
make the appropriation.
Auditor Garrison, in defining the position
of the District. says:
According to the practice prevailing IN
the executive departments of the UnItHd
States government. after estimates for de-
ficiencies to pay claims have been submitted
and Congress declines to appropriate. the
matter is considered at an end and the
Secretary of the Treasury will not again
submit the rejected items for deficiency
appropriations. it being considered that his
authority is exhausted after having duly
submitted any item once for deficiency
appropriation.
In view of the foregoing 1t seems that
the appropriation for the payment of the
within claims. which have been rejected IN
the submitted deficiency estimates for 1929
should be sought by a private relief act. to
be urged by the parties in interest and not
by way of the deficiency estimates for the
fiscal year 1902

Increased interest was exhibited last
evening by the members of the Takoma

new feature of discussing weekly current

pated: Col. c.. M. Heaton. William II.

number of ladies' were also present.
Mr. Shoemaker spoke Of the national
character Of Washington, and said 1t Is
now and must ever continue to be more
than a mere municipality. He contended
that there was no parallel between this
city and others. All conditions here are
Of national character, consequently the
interests of the United States required, and
the people of the country desire that Con-
gress should live up to its obligations here
as elsewhere. He further contended that
it was little less than a crime to impose
burden such as Is now being imposed upon
land owners of the District of Columbia.
Congress should adhere to it's compact of
1873 by paying one-half of the current eX-
penses, and even upon this basis the burden
would be too great upon the local tax
payer.
The club will discuss the Panama canal
question next Wednesday evening.

CHRISTMAS CHEER.
Salvation Army to Distribute Dinners
Among Poor Families.

The local organization of the Salvation
Army will this year distribute, as usual,
large number of Christmas dinners to the
poor of the city. The 'pot-boiling" system
of raising funds to purchase the food will
soon be brought into use, and besides this
the business men of the city are being asked
by letter to contribute. The "pot-boiling'
system was used last year with good results.
1t consists Of placing a number Of large old
fashined boiling pots suspended from three
uprights on the thoroughfares of the city.
Signs are hung beside them reading, Keep
the Pot Boiling" Into these passers by are
expected to drop small coins, which will be
used in purchasing many dinners.
1t is expected that several hundred dol
lars will be spent in this charity, and that
about 1900 persons will be permitted to
enjoy turkey. chicken, celery. cranberries.
potatoes, mince pies and everything, in fact,
that goes with the traditional Christmas
feast.
The list of persons to whom the dinners
will be given is being carefully prepared.
Physicians and men who are well acquaint
ed with the life of the city are sending in
names of needy families, all of whom are
visited by members of the army to prevent
any one family from receiving a double
quantity. The size of dinner is regulated
by the number of persons found to be in the
family to which 1t is to go.
The doors of the army headquarters, $50
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, will be
open at an early hour Christmas morning
and those who have received tickets en-
titling them to dinners will assemble there.
To those who are Ill or otherwise unable to
call at the headquarters the dinners will be
delivered in wagons.
The materials for each meal will be
placed, uncooked, in a basket, in which they
can be carried away by the callers or driv-
ers of the delivery wagons. This plan en-
ables the families to prepare the food in
the way that will best please their individ-
ual tastes.
This charitable enterprise was carried out
very successfully last Christmas, some 800
persons being supplied.
The work this year is under the direction
of Captain and Mrs Frank l.. Roper who
have charge of the local Salvation Army
work in this city.
