The Dangerous Sidewalks.
Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF Inc Evening Star:
1 am astonished that our citizens do not
n AXE more effort to render life and limb
secure on the ice and snow-covered side
walks. During my forty odd years resi-
dence in the city 1 have never known them
to be worse or more dangerous than they
are and have been this unusual winter. 1t
is no answer to say that the snow is trod-
den down as it falls, or that it freezes and
forms ice so that it cannot be removed
until it thaws, because the walking can be
rendered safe by a good Sprinkling of sand
sawdust or ashes, which latter every house
holder has. The only cost is a few min
utes time of the servant or occupant in
scattering it on the walk. 1 know it is OBJ
jected that ashes are liable to be carried
on the shoes into the house and soil the
carpet or the floor, but the answer to that
is two-fold, first that If the shoes are prop
erly wiped on the door mat there will be
no trouble from that source; and second
that as soon as the snow or ice thaws the
be swept off. Lest your readers may say
that this is merely the fault-fnding of some
crusty old bachelor, I may add that / have
both a residence and a business walk to
keep clean, the former much longer than
usual, and | find no difficulty in keeping
them SAFE 1t simply requires care and at
tention, ard that it is the duty of every
citizen to bestow. If they will not do it
voluntarily, then they should be compelled.

GOULD ROAD TO CHESAPEAKE.
Charter Sustained by Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


RICHMOND, Va, January 81, 1905.
The corporation commission has granted
a charter to the Richmond and Chesapeake
Railroad Company, which the supreme
court of appeals Friday directed was not
contrary to law or in conflict with the
state law which forbade the paralleling Of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
between this city and Washington
The Gould interests, which own and con-
troll the electric railways of this city, are
behind the scheme, and there is a rumor to
the effect that this charter means the ex-
tension of the Wabash system to the deep
water of Chesapeake bay. 1t is said that
the Wabash system will be connected with
the new line and that the outlet so long
desired by the Wabash interests will be OBJ
tanned by this proposed electric road, which
is to penetrate rich trucking section. The
new road will go from here to Ashland, a
distance of twenty miles, almost parallelng
the road in which the state has interest.
Heretofore practically all of the trading
with the eastern shore of the state has been
between the merchants of Baltimore and
the people of many of the counties along
the eastern border of Virginia. This will
be diverted and brought to this city, as the
sole means of communication with Balti-
more has been by toat.
The railroad will be able to make the trip
to the Chesapeake bay, the terminus of the
road, from this city in about four hours,
whereas day is required to go to Balti-
more. Richmond will have larger market
and an enormous increase in truck, fish,
game and oyster business with the COM
pietfon of the road. Work is to commence
at once

! ture known as No. 1910 Quaker court north
west he torn down. Tile case has been the
! subject of great deal of correspondence
| between MIR. Nash AID the District officials
during the past eighteen months.
| The records il the cas-, produced by
Building Inspector Ashford show that Feb

Nash for some minor repairs to the struc-
! tuie, which is located on nine-foot alley.
lie permit stipulated that the repairs
should not exceed 81 per cent of the value
! of the building as it then stood No re-
| pairs Were made under the permit, SO it is
stated, during a period of six months after
the issuance of the permit, and August %
1858. the permit was reissued. In Deem
/ Der of the same year, however, it is stated,
the permit was revoked and the building
was later condemned ana ordered to be
| Torn down within year. Building inspect

building were in excess of those authorized
| by the permit, and in effect. he says, they

foot alley.
Mr.. Hamilton argued that the judgment
of the building inspector was too severe,
and that it was in contravention of the
rights of sir. Nash as a citizen and proper
ty owner. He commended that the house is
now in good condition, and he held that the
repairs exceeded the amount authorized in
the permit by only very little He urged
the Commissioners 10 revoke the order of
condemnation.

Custody Of Mary Murray.

Proceedings for a writ of habeas corpus
were instituted late yesterday afternoon by
the board of childrens guardians for the
purpose of regaining the custody of Mary

THE CURTIS BILL FAVORED.
Reduction of Duty on Philippine Sugar
and Tobacco,

In the absence of Secretary Taft, who
was to have given testimony in favor of the
Curtis bin reducing the tariff on Philippine
sugar and tobacco before the House COM
mittee on ways and means yesterday, Col
Edwards, chief of the insular bureau of
the War Department and Col. Cotton. COL
lector of the port of Iloilo, spoke for the
measure.
Col Edwards submitted much detailed in
forma ton bearing on the subject in the way
of tables and statistics. Col. Cotton, who
has just arrived from the Philippines. pre-
sented a petition to Congress from the
chamber of commerce of Iloilo favoring the
abolition of all duties between the Philip
pines and the United States on these COM
modties. He said that in advocating q re-
ductfon of the duties on sugar the Philip
pine producer was simply seeking to have
the price of sugar in the archipelago fixed
In New York and not subject to the dictates
of Chinese merchants. 1t was not intended
nor believed that any Philippine sugar
would come to the United States. as a mar
ket in the orient could be found for the
urOduCt.

FUMIGATIoN OF PANAMA.
Brisk War Being Waged on the Yellow
Fever Mosquitoes.

A detailed report on the health conditions
on the Isthmus of Panama is made in a
report received today by Rear Admiral
Walker chairman of the isthnian canal
commission, from Gov. Davis of the canal
zone The report is dated at Aucon, Jan
uary H. and was sent prior to the cable
report regarding cases on the Boston, which
cases, however, it is pointed out by the
commission, originated elsewhere than
Panama The report says that only three
deaths from yellow fever have actually oc-
CURED there since this government took
charge; that a systematic fumigation of the
entire city of Panama is now being made;
that all yellow fever cases within Gov.
Davis knowledge have originated in that
city, and that with the increasing force of
men now engaged in mosquito extermina-
ton work Chief Sanitary officer Gorgas of
the commission confidently believes that all
mosquitoes capable of transmitting yellow
fever will be destroyed within month.
Gov. Davis adds: ...-
..That the disease is lurking here is quite
evident; everything is being done that the
sanitarians desire to do or have proposed to
do to obliterate the disease. Whenever a
case of yellow fever was found at a house
the building whence the person was taken
and other buildings in the immediate vicin-
ity have always been fumigated, and no
case of fever has been found in any such
buildings that have been fumigated as de-
scribed. But as the cases that do occur
are IOuNQ at TdHuoul All over INC CITY VI
Panama, the doctors have asked authority,
which | have given, to commence a syste-
matte fumigation of the whole city of Pa
mama, all of the houses in it, and they are
now engaged in this work. great deal
has been done and much good accomplished
in the reduction of the number of mos
quitoes capable of transmitting this disease.
as well as those known to be capable of
transmitting the disease usually spoken of
as malaria. All of the cases of yellow fever
that have occurred within our knowledge
have originated in Panama and yet Colon
is, as respects the question of filth and
hygienic conditions, ten times worse than
Panama, and there is really hope of
much Improvement in Colon until the grade
of the city can be raised, and this, as you
know, is not to be accomplished for many
months to come
United States Minister Barrett at Panama
has cabled the State Department that, not
withstanding the outbreak of yellow fever
on the u. S. S. Boston, there Is not a single
case of the disease among the employees on
the canal. He says that out of the 1900
canal laborers but per cent of the num-
Der is in the hospital, and none of these
cases is yellow fever.

The Value of Charcoal.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the

Charcoal is remedy that the more you take OF

Productive Of Low Standards.


when the selection of police officers is
on a purely political basis, the standards
are low, and the way is opened for police
connivance with violators Of the law. In
stances are not uncommon where police
men receive regularly money payments
from law breakers for protection. The
detection of this form of corruption is
difficult; nevertheless, its continuance in a
fragrant form is evidence of public apathy"
The health, street and other departments
are handled in much the same way. 1t
is to be regretted that public educators
have deemed it wise to have introduced
into the schools these features.
Major Sylvester closed by saying:
'It is believed that the time will come
when there will be greater confidence in
the police and their opinion but it will
only follow by constant evidence of dis
position to fully and honestly discharge
their duties. Those who should awaken to
the proper care of person and property are
the citizens, and they should insist on
those to whom they assign the task of
originating and maintaining the police the
duty of perfecting the organizations and
eliminating imperfections.
