LOCATED BY CONGRESS.
Commissioners Without Authority to
Change Location of Sewer Mouth.

The officials of the Navy Department. who
have protested to the District Commission
ers against the location of the mouth of the
outfall sewer in course of construction
above the Bellevue magazine of the Wash
ington navy yard, will be informed by the
Commissioners, upon Colonel Biddle's rec
concentration, that the location of the sewer
was authorized according to present plans
by Congress, and that the Commissioners
are without authority to change the plans
without the sanction of Congress.
Capt. E. c. Pendleton. superintendent Of
the naval gun factory. who originally pro-
tested against the location of the discharge
end of the sewer above Bellevue magazine,
suggested that the sewer empty near the
point on the Potomac known as Shepherds
Landing. This suggestion was approved by
Rear Admiral Higgnson, commandant Of
the navy yard and by Chief N. f. Mason of
me ordnance bureau, and it was brought TO
the attention of the Commissioners in let
ter by Assistant Secretary Darling of the
Navy Department
The naval officers say the present location
would be detrimental to the interests of the
government, being so close to the maya zine.
The water approaches to the Mega zine are
| reported to be already inconveniently shall
| low, ana TO carry out the present plans
would make the approach impossible, be-
SIDES proving menace to health. If it is
| located near where Oxen run emptes into
| the Potomac it is stated the current would
| help carry away the sewage.
| Superintendent d. E. McComb of the Dis
| trlct sewer department has reported that
| the location was fixed by the board of sani-
| tary engineers appointed by authority of
| Congress, as stated, and that the site was
| authorized by Cons ress. He says the plans
| for the outfall section contemplate the dis
| charge of sewage into deep water by means
| of large iron pipes, and that the sewage will
| be screened and large sedimentation cham
| Der will be provided to intercept materials
1 In ha
sides. a portion of the work at this point
| has been completed, he says.
Colonel Biddle has suggested that if the
| Secretary of the Navy so desires. the COM
! mlssioners at the next session will ask Con-
| gress for permission to chanse the sewer
| plans.

CHARITY BALL RECEIPTS.
Those of Southern Relief Society Re-
ported Last NIGHT

At meeting of the Southern Relief So
ciety at the Arlington Hotel last night
reports were received from those in
charge of the charity ball recently given
at the New Willard Hotel. Mrs Rosalie
II. Bocock, chairman of the executive
committee reported that the gross re-
ce1pts on account OF the ball were 81
of which S1,175 was net. Half of this sum
will be distributed among the needy con-
federates and their families residing in
Washington and the balance will go into
the treasury of the society.
Two of. the tickets that had been in
some manner unaccounted for We're the
cause of the following letter of expla-
nation from Senator F. NJ. Cockreli of
Missouri:
My Dear Madame Some time ago I
received in an envelope addressed to me
tickets to the charity ball. with a memo
randum to send the money or return the
tickets. L do not approve of that method
OF business and, according to nv custom
threw them into the fire. They were be-
yond question, not used by ANYBODY I
do not recall whether there was one or
two tickets, but if there had been a dozen
they would have been treated in the same
way. Yours sincerely"

STREET CLEANING.
Superintendent Stidham Says Regula-
tons Must Be Observed.

Superintendent Harrison Stidham of the
STRENGTHENING department evidently does
not intend to have any dalIyfng with the
regulations relating to the cleanliness Of
the streets and sidewalks of the national
capital, judging from a communication
which he forwarded yesterday to a firm of
hay and feed dealers whose place of bust
ness is located on 14th street northwest.
Mr.. Stidham also takes occasion to an
nounce that he intends to support his in
spectors when they carry out his orders.
The superintendent Of street cleaning ex
planned to Commissioner West. who in
dorsed Mr. Stidham's letter to the hay and
feed firm, that Inspector Holland of his
department recently reported that mem
Der of the firm indicated endeavored to in
timidate him with profane language and
threats of physical violence in the event
the inspector reported the firm to the de-
partment for littering the sidewalk in
front of its place of business. In order that
the firm might not be laborfng under mis-
apprehension, Superintendent Stidham
writes the company that he is responsible
for the issuance of instructions to Inspector
Holland to see that the sidewalk and street
in front of the firms place of business are
kept free from hay and street, which Mr..
Stidham says on windy days are blown all
over the block
Mr.. Stidham in his letter quotes a part
of section l. article 8, of the police regula-
tons, relating to litter in the streets, and
he further informs the firm that he will
personally see to it that the person re-
sponsble for violating the regulations is
brought into Police Court If the regula-
lions are not complied with.
Superintendent Stidham has also requested
that the police department cooperate with
the STRENGTHENING department in keeping
the streets free from paper, straw and other
litter. He desires the police to be particu-
larly vigilant in observing and reporting
unnecessary littering of the streets and
sidewalks. Mr.. Stidham evidently means
business.

LABOR MEN PROTEST
Opposition to Commissioners Recon-
mendation for Cross-Town Railway

".
RESOLUTIONS were recently adopted by the
Central Labor Union expressive of the
sentiments of that body relative to the ac
ton of the District Commissioners. who
several weeks ago forwarded to the Sem
ate and House District committees q req
ommendation that charter for a cross
town street railway be granted to the Can
ital Traction Company. AS the action of
the Commissioners had been fully discuss
ed at a previous meeting the resolutions
were unanimously adopted without de-
bate.
The resolutions state that 'sthe wage
earners and the public at large have for
five years petitioned the Capital Trac fon
Company and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company for the construction and
operation of a crosstoWn railroad, which
petitions have been received with silence
and contempt thus showing an utter dis
regard for public opinion. The bill now
before the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives granting a franchise to the old
Dominion and Great Falls Railroad Com
pany to build a croSstown and city line TO
meet the demands of the public will great
ly benefit the people of the national can't
tall
The resolutions further declare that the
Commissioners are acting as sole Judges
against the expressed wishes of the resi-
dents of Washington. who favor the pas
sage of S. B. 2S33--the Commissioners adj
vocating the granting of additional legis-
lation to enable the Capital Traction Com
pany to further its monopoly of the streets
of Washington against the protest of the
people whom the Commissioners are APP
pointed to represent
.-rhe Central Labor Union, therefore,
protests against the action of the Commits
sioners in urging the CT mmittees in Con-
gress to grant a further monopoly of the
control of the streets of this city to the
Capital Traction Company or the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company, as
neither of these corporations has shown
much regard for the interest of the peof,le
in the past and will not do so in the flu
ture"
After the adoption of the resolutions Sec
retary Winslow was instructed to forward
a copy to the chairmen of the Senate and
House District committees ana also to the
District Commissioners.

fened fingers over the fire, uncoupled the
stove from its pipe and carried it away.
leaving column of curling smoke in his
wake.
Policeman Creaghe captured Thomas and
landed hir1 in the station house. Judge
