Refuse to Grade Alley.

The District authorities do not deem it
advisable at this time to grade the alley in
the rear of 1908 32d street northwest or to
construct a sewer in the alley Health Of
icer Woodward several months ago. upon
the report of a department inspector, re-
quested that a sewer be constructed in this
alley for the protection of the public health.
Superintendent McComb of the sewer de-
partment reported that the grading of the
alley in question should precede the con-
struction of a sewer therein. Upon this in
dorsement Engineer Hunt reported that
while the grading of the alley could easily
be arranged for, yet making cut of fif-
teen feet in front of the houses along the
alley would be so serious damage that 1t
would seem that there should be more
urgent occasion for the work than the cir
cu,nstances recited by the health depart
ment.
Colonel Biddle states with reference to
the matter that the only practicable way to
remedy conditions would be for the owners
of the property to agree to put in at their
own expense a temporary sewer. This ex-
pense, he says. need not be large.

ming north, names of one syllable will be
used, arranged in alpha betical order Upon
completion of the one-syllable series a two
syllable series will begin and upon COM
pletion of this a three-syllable series until
the northern limit of the District of Column
bia is reached.
East and west streets in the county south
of the line of East Capitol street will he
named with the letters of the aloha bet
Upon completion of this series of one
syllable names of American cities or promi-
nent geographical OBJECTS, arranged in al
phabetical order, will be started and so

is reached.
A minor or place street will be designated
place. and will bear the number or in
itial of the nearest parallel main street be-
tween it and the Capitol.

FORCES ON BOTH SIDES OF d.
voRCE QUESTION PRESENT.

in preserving the sanctity of marriage in
the religious education of children and on
other matters which would bring about a
better understanding.
No action at this time was recommended
by the majority of the commission on pro-
hibited degrees in marriage, but minority
report, signed by Bishop Leighton Cole,
man of Delaware, included resolution

clergymen of the American church. The
minority report was defeated and the
recommendation of the majority accepted.

Reports of Friction Denied.

There were rumors Immediately upon the
publication of the Presidents letter to the
effect that Secretary Taft's trip was caused
by friction between the three controlling ele-,
ments on the sthmus, the Panaman govern
ment, the United States minister and the
canal commission but Secretary Taft eX-
plicitly denies that such IS the case.

To Show Regard for Panama.

Another reason why the Secretary is to
take a large party, including representa-
tives of the executive and legislative
branches of the government, is because he
desires to do all honor to the little Pana-
man state, showing the people that the
United States government has as high
regard for their sovereign rights as for
those of any other, people
So the visit is likely to be one of state
calculated to gratifyand favorably impress
the Panamans. Indeed one of Secretary
Taft's main objects in going to Panama is
to try to remove belief that seems to OBJ
tain there in some quarters that the United
States government is disposed to treat the
Panamans with arrogance, or at least with
lack of consideration for their feelings. Mr..
Barrett, United States minister to Panama,
has been instructed by the President to af-
ford Secretary Taft every facility In the
prosecution of the work. He is expected
to precede the party on the Sumner and
