H STREET WORK
GOES VERY SLOWLY
Captain Harding Seeks to
Hasten Men.
SENDS NOTICE TO RAILROADS
District Officials Fear Subway Will Not
Be Finished Before Approach
of Cold Weather.

Alleged mismanagement of the work
on the II Street subway by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad officials. re
sulting in an unwarrauted delay in the
construction. has caused the District
Engineer Department to notify the rail-
road authorities that more speedy pro
gress must be made on the work.
Acting Engineer Commissioner Hard
ing today wrote Chief Engineer D. d.
Carouthers Of the Baltimore and Ohio
road that il was evident the company 5
men had not made that progress on the
project which the District officials had
believed would be made, according TO
the representations of the company
engineers.
Little Progress Made.
It is now feared by the officials of the
Engineer Department that the railroad
people viii not make any material pro-
gress in the work before cold weather
sets in. Ii had been understood that
the roadway would be reduced 10 the
grade required for the floor of the sub
way before winter. but little apparent
impression has as yet been made on
the street.
For the last three weeks, il is said,
the cOmpany's labOrers have practically
; ceased work altogether. The plan was
Z to level the north side of the roadway
TO the required grade, shift the tracks
Of the street car company to the low
cred side, and then lower the south side
When the whole roadway had been
lowered the tracks were 10 have been
put back in their original position.
Before Cold Weather.
From this the advantage of complet-
Ing the grade reductions before the
freezing weather sets in is apparent.
THE fear of the District authorities now
1 is that the original plan viii not be car
fried out owing TO the unavoidable de-
( lays the company has caused in the
work. The permit for the work was is
tsued by the Distinct authorities more
FIhan "A month ago.
1t is important that this excavating
) be gotten through with as soon as pos
L sible because over this point passes the
bulk Of the passenger traffic between
y the Northeast and Northwest sections
/ of the city. 1t is especially imperative
that nothing be done to inCOmmOde the
traffic on the II Street railway line II
Il thought that IN view of the District s
protest 10 the Baltimore and Ohio Of
fcials the work will be FASTENED and
every effort made to get the excava-
tons into suitable shape bC0lre the
winter.

TAFT DOES AWAY
WITH THE UNIF FORM
War Department Officers
Get Looked For Relief.
TO WEAR CIVILIAN DRESS
Old Order of Things Unpopular With
Meu-ReasOn for the
Change.

Uniforms have been banished from the
War Department. Secretary Taft has
issued an order permitting all army off,
GERS on duty at the War Department 10
wear civilian clothing in their offices.
and there is great rejoicing.
Secretary Alser was responsible for
the order that all officers stationed in
Washington should wear uniforms while
in their offices.
He issued this mandate at the begin
ming of the war with Spain.
II was unpopular from the first. Off
GERS did not mind it so much in cool
weather, bat the padded shoulders OF
army blouses are not designed for sum
mer comfort, and there was much
chatting when Secretary Root continued
the uniform rule upon taking charge OF
the War Department.
Favored Brass Buttons.
Complaints did not move Secretary
Root. He believed brass buttons were
conducive To discipline, and paid no at
tention to the grievances Of sweltering
officers whose suffering was intensified
by looking at clerks and other civilian
employees who were wearing light cloth
ing.
Secretary Taft was different. The wall
of the officers moved him, and when he
returned TO Washington yesterday from
Canada one Of his first acts was to dl-
rect the issuance Of an order permit
ting the officers to shed their heavy
llothlns.
Reason for Change.
Aside from Secretary Taft's desire to
make the men at the department com
Portable, there are also said to be other
reasons for the order
II has heen charged freely in anti
administration newspapers that the uni
form order was a step toward r.
ism.
