OBJECTIONS URGED.
Protest Against Placing Power Plant
in Garfield Park.

Opposition Is nianIfesting itself to the
proposition to. ,place'.a government power
plant IN Garfield Park. ana Colonel Symons,
the engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds, has written a letter
to the Secretary of War protesting agains.
the plan. His objections are based on the
broad ground that the public parks of
Washington should be preserved for the
benefit of the people, and he states that
the Garfield Park is practically the only
public park in the secion of the city in
which it is located.
Provision for building a heating, lighting
ana power plant in reservation IT Carried
Park), at the intersection Of Virginia ave-
nue., South Capitol street. New Jersey ave-
nue. and E street south, is contained In the
sundry civil appropriation bill now pending
in Congress. 1t is provided in that bin that
the proposed plant shall be of sufficient size
and capacity to furnish the necessary heat,
light and power for the office building of
the House of Representatives, the Capitol
building. the Congressional Library and
such other public buildings as may be
erected on the grounds adjacent to the
Capitol grounds on the east, and also the
proposed subway system connecting with
the Capitol building, at a cost not to exceed
$757 800. Authority Is also given for the
construction of a siding from tile Philadel-
phia. Baltimore and Washington railroad to
said building, across Virginia avenue as
extended through the reservation.
Colonel Symonds suggests the propriety
of the selection of another location for the
power plant, and his letter has been for
warded by Secretary Taft to the presiding
officers of both houses of Congress.

ASSESSORS SUGGESTION.
Recommends Hearings on Application
for Tax Exemption.

Mr.. Hopewell H. Darneille, the District
assessor, has recommended that the trus-
tees of the Temple Baptist Church and the
trustees of the Brightwood Park M. E.
Church be granted hearings before the
Commissioner relative to the exemption
from taxation of their respective church
Pre- ~ocrties.
1t is noted on the papers in the case of
the application for exemption of the Bright
wood Park Church that the property for
merIy belonged to Diller b. GroT. the
church authorities acquiring title to the
land April 4. 1900. The taxes for 1903 and
lW{ against this property have not been
paid and the same was sold for taxes. In
a report on the case made by Mr.. r. w. w.
Griffin. chairman of the board of assistant
assessors. 1t Is stated that the church was
built in 1900 and first used for religious
worship In April, 1901. The building was
assessed at 500 In 1901.
The trustees of the Temple Baptist
Church request the exemption of a parcel
of land adjoining the property upon which
the church now stands and which is already
exempt. Mr.. Griffin reports that granting
a sufficient space for light and air there
remains OF this lot for assessment an area
of sixteen feet front by a uniform depth of
leo feet.

SUITS FOR DAMAGES.
Representative in Congress One Of the
Plaintiffs.

Proceedings at law to recover damages in
the sum of $50, 900 for alleged libel were in
stdtuted late yesterday afternoon In the
Supreme Court Of the District of Columbia
By VIM. g.. Greene, representative in Con-
gress from the thirteenth congressional
district Of Massachusetts,. against George
c. Tower. The latter is also named de-
ID in similar sudts filed by William A.
Mellen and Emma S. Mellen. the former
asking damages in the sum Of $1,000 and
the latter damages in the sum of $4,000.
1t is explained hat the suits of Repre-
sentative Greene. Mrs. Mellen and her son
are based upon libelous statements alleged
tn have been made by Mr.. Tower in a letter
sent by him to Mrs. George f. Mellen and
other persons, in connection with a business
transaction.
In reference to the legal proceedings Rep
resentative Greene is reported as saying, in
substance. that George L. Mellen, deceased,
the husband of Mrs. Emma s. Meilen, who
had formerly resided in Fail Rives, Mass,
had had some business transactions with
Albah Wilwall, the person referred to in
the letter alleged to have been written by
Mr.. Tower. and that Wiswall had assigned
to Mrs. Mellen a mortgage on some prop
erty at Wildwood, Nd. Wfswall had sub
sequently conveyed all his interest in the
property to George C.. Tower. who called
upon him and requestedshim to advise Mrs.
Mellen to assign the mortgage TO Tower.
This he declined to do. Thereupon, accord

Private War Records.
OF The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
However valuable and exhaustive may be
the publications emanating from the War
Department, purporting to be the official
records of the confederate and Union
armies during the war of the rebellion, they
are necessarily incomplete. Much valuable
material will never reach the public gaze
for the reason that it is the property of
private persons who retain it as relics Of
those times.
Mr.. Theodore F.. Brown, a soldier in the
103d Ohio Infantry, and now an employee Of
the pension office. handed me, a few days
ago, a package of confederate m
thai fell into his hands at the capture of
Raleigh, n. c., in the summer of 1865. The
list is a valuable one. and includes the
following papers:
The first is a requisition, dated Richmond,
Va. March II. 1862. by the quartermaster
general, on the secretary of war for the
sum of SIG, T94. to be turned over to Major
Thomas L. Brown, quartermaster at Dub
lin Depot, Va, as a fund with which to
pay the Sth Cavalry and 45th Infantry, Vir-
ginia troops, to February %, 1862.
The next is a requlsition dated Richmond,
April 3, 1862, by l.. B. Northrop, commits
sary general. for $4,000, to be placed at the
disposal Of Captain w. NJ. Strickland, Cor
NTH, Miss, to be used in the purchase of
subsistence stores.
These requisitions, 1t will be seen, We're
made while operations were beginning to
be made against Richmond by Mcclellan
and Corinth by Halleck.
The next Is a requisition by the surgeon
general. s. v. Moore. on the 9th of August.
1868. for $500. to be turned over to Surgeon
J. E.. A. Davidson, Quincy. Fla. for the
services of physicians Medical attend
ance, it would seem. was not deemed very
important.
On the 18th of August. 1868, about a
month after the Gettysburg campaign end
ed, Samuel Cooper, adjutant and inspector
general, makes a special requisition'' for
10000 and, with red ink, marks 1t
urgent" the same to be placed under the
direction of Colonel George Deas, chief of
the general recruiting service. TIL time,
the amount and the markings all add sig
n~iicance to this requisition.
On the 4th of April. 1854. just prior to the
opening of the campaign under General
Grant against Richmond, E.. w. Hubbard
of Curdsville. Buckingham county, Va, pre-
scented a certified claim against the war de-
partment In the sum of 1851 40, for services
and mileage as commissioner of appraise-
ment for the state of Virginia. 1t was al
lowed and ordered paid by ]. A. Sedden.
secretary of war. The paper Is an inferior
quality of foolscap. and the secretary's sig
nature Is a genuine one.
The last one of these documents Is a
reuuisition for so. 900 to be placed at the
disposal of Charles r. Barney. agent of
the nitre and mining bureau, Greensboro,
N. c. This requisition, dated April 28, 1854,
indicates a vigorous preparation for the
stirring events of the last year Of the war
These documents, which row see the light
of publication for the first time. are es-
sential parts of the great war record of
