MEYER COMMENTED AS
ITALIAN AMBASSADOR
Has No Thought to Resign and
Francis and White Must Wait.

The state Department has no intima-
tion from the Hen. George Won l. Meyer.
United States ambassador to Italy. that
he intends to resign his post. and there
fore there is no immediate prospect of
the appointment Of Charles S. Francis
TO that mission. as has been reported.
II has been current rumor that when
Ambassador Meyer was given the am
bassadorship TO Rome II was with the
understanding that he should resign at
the end OF year. Mr.. Meyer insists.
however. that such an understanding
was never had.
AS the duties OF the position are con
genial. and Mr. Meyer is a wealthy man
be has no idea OF rendering his resigna =
tion. He has committed no offense for
which the State Department could ask
his resignation. and in consequence he
continues 10 hold on despite rumors of
his retirement and the fact that there
are half dozen men who are anxious
TO step into his shoes
II is said that even If Mr.. Meyer
should retire that Mr. Francis would not
be made his successor. The post is al
heged to have been promised to Henry
White. for many years first secretary Of
the American embassy in London. a man
OF wide diplomatic experience, and de-
serving OF promotion.

FISHERMAN SEEKS TO HAVE
PARTNERSHIP DISSOLVED

A petition has been filed in the Dis
trict Supreme Court by James F. De At
ley. in which he asks that the partner
ship existing between him and Ferdi-
nand Hopp and John f. Crovo. be dis
solved. The persons named were en-
gagged In the business OF catching fish,
in the Potomac River. The court is
asked TO appoint a receiver TO take
charge OF the partnership business and
property. and direct the distribution of
the assets. Eugene A. Jones Is named
as counsel for the petitioner.

Forty Men Of Class I.

In his appeal to Congress, Major Syl-
vester will ask that the minimum salary
be fixed at 1900. BY a recommendation Of
the District Committee an act was pass
ed providing for the employment OF
forty men. as members Of class 1, at 4
salary of S720. This sum failed to at
tract many applicants for the positions.
however, and the department has been
compelled to remain without the serv-
ice of a full quota.
The plan TO request a general raise IN
salary is in accordance with Major SyI-
yester's policy OF last year, when he
forwarded to the District Commission
ers a protest against the reduction IN
wages. This protest was based on the
increased cost OF living and the fact tha.
the men would have to purchase their
own uniforms
The action of Congress in decreasing
the pay OF policemen has brought forth
storm OF criticism. The question Ia !
been taken up by the knights OF
Labor Journal" and in a recent edition
under the caption Policeman Cut Fifty
Cents Day." the publication severely
nrra1gned the national Legislators.
Wages Small in Washington.
Should the plan of Major Sylvester GO
into effect the entire department woula
be benefited He believes that the maxi
mum pay Of a private should be S10l
a month. and that OF a lieutenant al
least 81 SOC yearly, instead of 81. .3c0.
Besides having the smallest police de-
partment for a community OF its size in
the country, the District gives less com
pensation to it's policemen than other
municipalities. 1t is probable that this
fact will also be brought out in an ap-
peal for bettered conditions

SEWAGE PUMPING
At BROOKLAND DENIED
Suburb Must Wait for Developme n
of Sewerage System.

The Brookland Citizens Association
will be informed by the District Com
missioners that no pumping stations for
sewage viii be established at Proyi-
dence Street and Queens Chapel Road
nor at Twelfth Street and Bunker Hill
Road The association made application
last fall to the Commissioners for an
estimate as to cost OF building and
maintaining sewage pumping stations at
the two points mentioned ID. E. Nc
Comb, Superintendent of Sewers. re-
ported that the station intended for
Providence Street would cost $14 600 to
build and $500 per annum for main
tenance. The Twelfth Street station was
estimated at $4,000 to build and 81 500
lay for construction OF about $25. 600, and
an annual expenditure of $4,000
Capt. Chester Harding. in his adverse
report, which is approved by Commits
sioner Biddle, says:
Portions OF the town of Brookland
owing 10 typographical conditions, can
not be drained into existing sewers un-
til the extension OF the northerly por-
tion OF the east side intercepting sewer
can be made. The pumping stations re-
quested constitute the most available
method OF affording sewerage facilities
Il am not prepared. however, to rec
ommend an expenditure OF $4,000 for
plant and an annual expenditure oil
about $4,000 for maintenance. for what
would be a temporary expedient. 1t is
believed that the general sewerage
project will have been sufficiently ad-
vanced to provide facilities for Brook
land in the course of four or FIVE years.

ONE CRAP SHOOTER
BORE BURDEN OF FOUR

Hearing suspicious noises in Cullinane
Alley. last evening, Policeman Jackson
crept stealthily TO a secluded nook
where he found four negroes leaning
over two small pieces of bone with little
black dots on them. Although Jackson,
who is also a negro, never engaged in
the favorite pastime of his race. this
looked like a crap game to him. He
swoSped down upon the men. who were
too much engaged to notice the police
man. but arrested only one Of them.
Frank Bond.
He was in the Police Court this NOM
ing and promptly pleaded guilty TO the
charge of shooting crap. The court sent
Frankie down TO the farm for the brief
period OF ninety days

The Federal grand jury. after a recess

IN PAY TO POLICEMEN
Major Sylvester Will Ask
Congress for More Money.
MINIMUM SHOULD BE $500
Wages of Additional Privates Were Cut
Fifty Cents Day, and Good Men
Can't Be Had at Present Rate.

An urgent appeal for a general in
crease in the salaries of regular police
men viii be made by Major Sylvester at
the next session Of Congress. The re-
quest viii be made particularly with a
view of having repealed the act which
provides for the appointment OF forty
additional privates at a reduction in
wages of 80 cents day
This recommendation is now in the
course of preparation by Major Sylves-
ter. who is gathering all data that may
help to push the bill through The
point which will be brought out chiefly
is the fact that the department has ex-
perienced great difficulty IN finding
available men TO undergo the examina-
tions. as a result Of the cut in com
pensation.

Unless something unforeseen happens
to delay the special train on which he
has been travelling from Pittsburg,
George Gould is to be in Baltimore this
afternoon to inspect the site of the big
terminals the Wabash Railroad system
is to construct in the Monumental City.
He Is expected to reach Baltimore be-
tween and o'clock. remaining until
tomorrow morning He intends to con-

final orders for the construction Of the

and a number of other officers.
On Way to Baltimore.
Mr.. Gould and his party reached Cum
berland last night, and this morning he
went from there to Cherry Run, from
where he is going into Baltimore over
the Western Maryland
At Cumberland and the other stops
on the way East NJ Gould has discussed
freely his plans. He is quoted as saying:
"Mr Ramsey has done amazing work
in rebuilding the Wheeling and Lake
Erie. We made sixty miles an hour
without trouble and the road was smooth
and easy. You know that we take a
great deal of pride in our lines in the
West. 1 have ridden at the rate of nine
ty miles an hour between Danville ard
Decatur. and so easy was the riding that
when we appeared to slow down l was
amazed at timing the speed to find that
we were still moving ahead at the rate
of sixty miles an hour. 1t seemed at
times as though II were possible to step
off. So you see everything goes by com
parison.
I'VE have not completed the detailed
plans for our final system, but it is our
purpose to have one grand system, with

GOULD DISCUSSES
WABASH RAILROAD

Pittsburg on the main line, from Utah
to Baltimore. The 'Kanawha route will
be used as an alternative; but the main
line will be through Pittsburg.
I'VE have immense tracts of coal, but
l DO not think we shall mine il ourselves.
Our business is operating a railroad and
l believe that our plan will be to lease
tracts to operators and companies much
as was done by the Flat Top Associa-
tion in the Pocahontas region. We are
after the tonnage and can secure It in
that way to better advantage than If
we were mining the coal ourselves. We
bought the coal to insure this tonnage.
Baltimore the Seaport.
I'VE expect TO ship immense quantities
of coal to Baltimore. That will be our
seaport. II has splendid advantages, and
we have already contracted for our
grain elevators and coal docks, and
will make it a great seaport. Balti-
more has been neglected in the past. 1t
has splendid advantages that have been
overlooked. New York is too costly
and besides that, for some reason, IL is
impossible to load the vessels direct
from the elevators and docks. The
lighterage is a costly item. In grain it
is so cents a ton. At Baltimore IL IS
nothing, as the vessels are loaded direct
from the elevators connected with the
railroads The margins of profit for the
dealer are so small that such lighter
age cost is an important item.
at is not important that we reach
New York. Our tidewater ambitions end
with Baltimore. trunk line into New
York is more a matter Of eclat. We
shall try TO develop and make great our
Baltimore terminals to easily handle
the large tonnage that appears to be
offering u.s.
Much Yet to Be Done.
There is much yet to be done in i'm
proving the Western Maryland. Grades
must be cut down and there will be sew
eral years of busy work for the en-
gineers. but when this is done we shall
have a route TO Chicago shorter than
the Baltimore and Ohio.
1T is expected. too. that a rich field
for excursion traffic will be opened up.
This line will traverse the battlefield
district. which at present is more or
less isolated from the main highways OF
travel between the East and the West. "
So far in discussing his plans, Mr.
Gould has said nothing about the ru-
mors that he intends to have the Wa
bash system enter the National Capital
Reports of various kinds have been in
circulation for several months, TO the
effect that he intends to do so. but

A Complicated Situation.

The Federation of Musicians of Balti-
more and the Elks have clashed over the
fact that the United States Marine Band
has been engaged by the Washington del
egation to escort them in the grand pa
rade which takes place at Baltimore
Wednesday. July %.
AS is we'll known, the Federation has
for some time been antagonistic 10 the
Marine Band, claiming that it should
not accept engagements, as il was a
salaried band, and at a meeting held
in Indianapolis last May II was decided
that no band connected with the FEEDER
alton should participate in any parade,
procession. or musical affair IN which
the Marine Band of Washington took
part. except when escorting the PresI-
dent of the United States.
The Elks began to engage the bands
for the parade some months ago. and
all OF the leaders were compelled TO
sign contracts. Now at the eleventh
hour those who signed the contracts
have informed the executive committee
that they have been forbidden by the
Federation TO take part in the parade
because OF the fact that the Marine
Band of Washington was TO accompany
the lodge from the Capital City.
The Washington times., 1903-07-14
Liable to Suit.

The leaders OF the Baltimore bands
were notified that they would have to
keep their contracts or stand liable for
a suit in the civil courts The Balti-
more musicians WINGED a little at this
statement. as it appears that the EIks
have at present the upper hand in the
matter. The officials Of the order were
communicated with. and. meeting was
called. to be held in Philadelphia with
in day or two.
The Elks OF the Capital City were
somewhat disappointed when they found
out that the Marine Band was barred
out OF the band contests. as they were
positive that II would carry off one OF
the prizes, but the committee de-
cided that no band in Maryland and the
District Of Columbia was eligible 10
enter the contest.

man of the Washington committee on
arrangements for the reunion Of Elks
In Baltimore.
Our contract with the Marine Band
was made in February, and we intend to
stand by it, as We have always done.
The order issued by the Federation.
which declares that no members of the
Federation shall take part in a parade

escOrting the President Of the United
States. was issued in May
The Washington times., 1903-07-14
Not Retroactive.

Such an order should have no bear
ing on contracts made previous to this
date. and many of the bands connected
with the Federation were engaged by
the EIks for this parade long after that
order was issued
What Is more. these bands have sign
ed contracts with the EIks and IL they
insist upon obeying the order which
says they shall not parade with the Ma
rine Band. they will be sued for dam
ages. not to mention losing the pay
which thew were to receive for playing
