WOULD REPAIR WHARF.
Estimate for Fixing Up Wakefield on
the Potomac.

Col. Bromwell. the engineer officer In
charge OF public buildings and grounds, has
submitted to the War Department an esti-
mate of 1900 for the repair of the United
States wharf at Wakefield, Va, the BIRTH
place Of Washington and one of $5eC for re-
pairing the fences and cleaning up the
grounds.
The wharf Is an iron pile wharf. with
timber deck, and was badly damaged by q
severe storm and ice jam in February, 1897.
An estimate for its repair was submitted
last year. In the present estimate the
amount Is increased by $1,000, as additional
damage was caused to the wharf in Febru-
airy, 1906 when the Ice in the river broke
sixteen foot bents Of the wharf. All of the
iron screw piles broke from under the parts
mentioned AS there were no funds avail
able for work of any character the watch
man employed men at his own expense to
help him secure such of the damaged ma
terfal as was possible. He succeeded in
getting seventy-five pieces of the broken
parts and put them on shore.
The wharf was built by the United States
in 1894, at a cost of $11 600 and was intend
ed as a landing place for steamers carrying
visitors to the monument. In its present
damaged condition., says Col. Cromwell,
1t Is useless for that purpose and the esti-
mates submitted in my last annual report
cleaning up and putting the land at the
birthplace in good condition is again SUBJ
mitted and recommended except that the
estimate for repairs is increased owing to
the additional damage done In February
1906"

WORK OF D1sPENsARY..
Institution for the Free Treatment Of
Tuberculosis.


The free dispensary for consumptives"
Is continuing its work right through the
summer and has succeeded. 1t is stated,
not only in holding nearly all the patients
who visit It from time to time for exami-
nation and advice. but has also secured q
comparatively large number Of new pa
tients as well. This record is very en-
couraging, and especially so since 1t shows
that people are coming to understand that
although they may not feel the effects Of
consumption In summer as they do in win
ter. yet it Is absolutely necessary to fight 1t
and If possible anticipate the disastrous re-
suits of the winter.
One of the principal reasons underlying
the growth~of this institution and the sue
cess 1t has had In minimizing the Ill effects
of this disease is due to the regular ana
thorough service of the physicians who give
their services one day each week. Dr..
Jesse Ramsburgh. chief of clinic OF the dis
pensary, announces corps of physicians
who have been serving for some time ana
will continue to serve throughout the sum-
mer:
Monday-Dr. Noble P. Barnes, DR.. Samuel

WRONG NAN CONVICTED.
Assault Case Mixed Up With One FOL
Housebreaking.

When the case of John Turley. alias
John Pratt. was called in the Police Court
this morning, a colored man arose in the
dock. He pleaded not guilty. The wit
nesses In the case told of an assault with
q heavy stone and stated that the defend
ant in the dock was the man who COM
mitted 1t.
II don't know anything about this. I
did not assault him." stated the defendant
on the stand.
This man says you did answered his
honor, and the penalty of $50 fine or six
months In jail was imposed.
Then the officer In the case suddenly
woke UP to the fact that this was not the
man at all. 1t was developed that the man
tried and convicted of the assault was John
Study, charged with HOUSEKEEPING. Tur-
ley sat calmly In the dock, enjoying the
proceeding.
The matter was finally adjusted by the
setting aside of the other sentence and the
hearing Of the case over again. with the
proper defendant ct the bar.
The truth was told for once by a de
PENDANT" remarked one who witnessed the
proceeding and who Is familiar with Police
Court procedure
Upon the rehearing the identification of
the wrong man was explained by the fact
that the witnesses looked at one man. while
the judge thought they were looking at an
other. Friday Faulkner. who came to court
with big bandage around his head. said
he had been injured by Turley by being hit
with a stone thrown by the latter.
Yes, sir. / hit him." admitted the de-
PENDANT But he made a pass at me with
a pitch fork and / was protecting myself"
The sentence on the right defendant was
not as severe as on the wrong one, being
only three months in jail!
When he pleaded not guilty to the charge
or housebreaking, Judge O'Neal thought
that prima facie case had been made out
and he held Study for the action of the
grand jury The bond was fixed at $500,
IN default OF which the defendant was COM
mltted TO jail. II Is unlikely that the case
VIII be considered until next fall

The Alumni and Mr.. Swartzell.

To the Editor of The Star:
Through the columns of your paper I
wish to inform the public of the attitude
of the alumni signers of the petition which
asked for Mr.. SwartzeiFs retention as prin-
cipal of Eastern High School. I, as one of
the alumni signers of that petition, which
was published in last Wednesdays issue of
The Star. feel justified in stating that the
majority. If not all, of the signers of that
petition affixed their names with the belief
that Mr.. Swartzell would resign as soon as
he was reinstated. This he refuses to do
although he had stated that he would.
We. the signers felt that If he were REIN
stated and then honorably resigned his fu
ture prospects in the educational world as
teacher somewhere else would be brighter
than if he had been asked to resign by the
board of education. We did not wish to
see him leave the school with a stain on
his name if We, the alumni could assist
him in any way. 1t seems now that Mr.
Swartzell has entirely forgotten his word
to the alumni and is using little aid
for his own personal benefit.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, president of the alumni
aSsocia ton. stated in his letter to the
board of education the attitude of the ma
jority of the alumni, when he said that
Eastern should have a new principal"
An out-Of-town man was suggested for the
position but surely there is Washington
man efficient in pedagogical knowledge,
having executive ability and at the same
time an interest in athletics-a man after
the pattern of Mr.. Wilson, present principal
of Central-who could fill the chair of prin-
cipal of Eastern High School.
AS The Star said. 'it is an unfortunate
outcome of the affair for the board to re-
consider its decision to remove Mr.. Swart-
zell from his principalship, not because the
best interests of the school demand his re-
tention in his position and his hearty sup
port as a disciplinarian, but because 1t cam
not conveniently arrange an exchange for
him." EDNA SHAW, 04,
