was told that there would be no objection.

Visitors passing through the White

AFTER ALLEGED "sQUATTERs."
Homes of Market Dealers Visited by
District Officials.

1t is declared to be the intention of the
police and of the sealer of weights and
measures to keep up the war on the buck
sters and alleged bogus countrymen along
the south side of 3 street opposite the mar
ket until the space is occupied only by
farmers. Permits held by those who have
been in business there are revoked only
when it becomes apparent to the market
master that the holder of the permit does
not raise all the produce he sells
Dealers all along the line have been Gues-
toned and Marketmaster Rice and Detec-
tive Watson have gone in the country to
the homes Of several of the parties. In
some instances they found that holders of
permits had only about much ground as
Is to be found in the average city lot, and
some of them did not even have garden.
Others had small gardens, but had been
in the habit of selling more produce in Il
week than they could possibly have raised
in a season.
The appearance of the detective and mar
ketmaster in the country was a surprise
to those who were visited, and some of
them surrendered their permits without OIL
fering an objection.

Hardships Of a Colored Tenant.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Allow me space In your paper to ask this
question: What will become of the re-
spectacle colored tenant in the District or
Columbian There are many sanitary
dwellings being erected every year, but
unfortuna tely, none can be had by re-
spectacle coored tenant. 1t seemed that
when the apartment house came into ex-
istence there would be a possible chance
for him, but this, in all intents and pur-
poses, only made conditions worse. l have
been an actual resident In this city for the
past twenty years, and have noticed that
1t is almost next to impossible for the col
ored householder to locate In decent
dwelling in any part of the city. And when
he does succeed in finding some sort of
shelter the landlord and agent refuse to
make necessary repairs, and the tenant has
to adjust himself to conditions as he finds
them. My efforts along this line from time
to time have been diSheartening.
There are. approximately. 100000 colored
people in this city, and about twice that
number of whites, all preaching sanitary
conditions of living and the prevention of
consumption and other diseases" Despite
the warnings of large meetings held under
the auspices of the Associated Charities
yet been taken to better the condition of
affairs. What is the use of a health de-
partment, maintained by the government
at an enormous expense every year, If one
tliii u Vi tfe population is allowed i've IN
dilapidated houses, whose walls and cell
ings are infested with disease germs Of
every conceivable description? When
house Is first erected, newly papered with
all modern improvements, that house is ad-
vertised and rented to white tenants They
live therein until the walls and interior
woodwork become rotten, defaced. and time
worn, and the exterior weatherbeaten and
In need of paint, etc. The white tenant
then vacates this shack. and it is then
rented to colored tenant at from 10 to 30
per cent increase in the rent, and the col
ored tenant moves In because he cannot do
better. 1t is well-known fact that most
all the large insurance companies (espe-
cially those giving straight life policies)
charge higher premium on policy taken
by colored man than by white man. be-
cause they say that the death rate among
colored people is invariably greater than
that among the white population. Now SO
long as the death rate among the coored
people is far in excess over that of whites
fs 1t not fact that in course Of time this
death rate will make its way into the
white population? And then what will be
The result? JOSEPH n. BEAMAN

ESTIMATED EXPENSES.
Corporation Counsel Asks for Increase
in Salaries Of Assistants.

The corporation counseTs office sent to
the Commissioners Its estimate for the ex-
penses Of this branch OF the District gov
eminent for the fiscal year to end June W,
1906, this morning. The principal recon-
mendation is that the salary of A. Left
wich Sinclair, second assistant corporation
counsel be increased from the 81 600 Of last
year to $4,000.
In recommending this increase the follow
ing statement is presented:
The increase indicated In the salary of
this assistant should be made for the rea-
son that the present salary is not at all
commensurate with the important and ex-
acting duties of the office. The second as
sistant has charge of all proceedings FOR
the condemnation of land for streets, alleys,
water mains, sewers and other municipal
purposes, he has considerable to do with
matters relating to taxation, and renders
valuable assistance in the preparation OF
opinions briefs, etc. and also acts as chair
man of the police trial board. He was ap-
pointed chairman of this board January 4,
1904. and the Commissioners upon the rec
ommendation of the ma jor and superintend-
ent of police. urged Congress to appropri-
ate the sum of 1910 annually as compensa-
ton for the additional work thus imposed
upon the second assistant corporatio
counsel.
An increase to 1880 from 81 200 is rec
commended in the case OF the salary of
Francis II. Stephens, the fourth assistant
corporation counsel. An increase in salary
for the messenger of the office is added to
the estimate, and it is suggested that the
title messenger be changed to clerk" to
better conform to the duties performed.
In submitting the estimate Corporation
Counsel A. r. DuvaH says:
THE volume of work of this office shows
Il considerable increase over last year Dur
ing the past year the work OF the office has
been greatly systema TIED. The work of
the office is not in arrears
