DECLINES TO GIVE OPINION.
Building Inspector Disclaims Knowl-
edge Of Smoke Law Operations.

Building Inspector Snowden Ashford, In
an official Endorsement. today disclaims any
official experience with the present smoke
law in the District, and does not desire to
express any opinion the subject Mr..
Ashford's Endorsement Is made on a COM
munication received by him from Attorney
Myron E. Pierce of Boston, who asks the
District building inspector for informa ton
concerning the Washington smoke law. Mr.
Pierce states that he desires the Informal
ton to use in connection with the agitation
before the Massa chusetts legislature to Sc
cure the enactment of a law To abate smoke
in the city of Boston and vicinity.
In view of the controversy on the smoke
law, IN which so many different District OFF,
ctals have recently been involved Mr.. Ash
ford evidently does not desire to enter the
lists on either side of the question, and he
therefore suggests that the health officer be
called upon for such information as he may
have at hand. Mr.. Ashford restraints any
desire he might possibly have to contribute
to the multiplicity of opinions on the SUBJ
ject that have been expressed recently, and
which will form large part of the official
literature of the District for 1904-05.

RECEIVES CONSERVATION.
Mr.. Macfarland's Suggestion for Super.
intendent Of Banking.

Since the announcement in The Star sew
eral days ago that Commissioner Macfar-
land proposes to prepare a bill providing
for a District superintendent of banking, to
have supervision over private and savings
banks not under control of the controller
of the currency. he has received q number
of letters from officials and citizens COM
mendfng the proposition. A letter from
Deputy Controller of Currency T. P. Kane
is considered as entitled to more than ordi-
nary weight. In his communication Mr..
Kane says with reference to the PROPOSE
ton:
This Is a step In the right direction, and
II is greatly to be hoped that your efforts
in this connection will be successful. There
are, as you know. large number of bank
ing concerns doing business in the District
OF Columbia, which are not under the SUI
pervisfon OF the controller of the currency
nor subject to any examination by the Dis
trict government
THE interests of innocent stockholders
and depositors in these banks should be
protected 80 far as possible by periodical
examinations, the same as are made of
banks under the controllers supervision.
Failures of institutions of this character in
the past have disclosed a condition of af-
fairs which could not have existed had the
banks which failed been subject to such
examinations.
Mr.. Fletcher White also commends the
proposition. The people of the country, out
side Of Washington, he says feel that
a degree OF safety attaches to banking
business in the capital that does not exist
elsewhere. and that it is due the people
of the states as well the citizens of
the District, that nothing be left undone
to make that condition of unusual safety
a reality. Mr.. White says he is not
business man. but that during his fourteen
years residence In Washington he has con-
tributed means to several bank failures
here He also called attention to failures
within recent years.
Mr.. VIM. Brown favors the proposition
for proper supervision of private and say
ings banks, and building and loan associa-
lions. He says with reference to the lat
ter institutions that supervision is abso-
lutely necessary. He also suggests that
the supervision extend to foreign companies
doing business here as well as local con-
Germs.

ing of the Volunteers Association negotiated

ton on the Army and Navy Club Compile
cations arising, no further payment was

pedient to lease a suitable house, with the
privilege of purchase.

APPEAmFu THE BIRDS.
Continuous Snow Causes Death of
thousands.

Because of the continuance of snow upon
the ground the birds are dying of starva-
ton and plea has gone out for them. To
clear away small spaces where the birds
may feed seems a small thing, but it may
save the lives of thousands until nature
comes to their rescue On these cleared
spaces the people are urged by Henry Oldys
of the Audubon Society to spread cracked
corn, screenings and any other material
which the birds may~eat, or to tie pieces of
fat meat to the trees.
The birds which frequent the neighbor-
hood of Washington during the winter are
not accustomed TOT the rigors of such
weather as now prevails and are unable to
nght against the fate that is overtaking
them from long periods of snow and ice.
Ihey cannot get at the natural food that
hes Oh the ground and do not understand
migration to a warmer cline. There are
blue birds about here all winter. and neces-
slty has driven them to the city, where they
nave peens seen in the parks in search of
1000 with the sparrews. The need is urgent
ana neip cannot come too soon IL they
would be saved

AGE OF F1REMEN.
Commissioners Approve Chief Belts
Recommendation

Commissioner Macfariand today APP
proved the recommendation of CHIEF En-
gineer VIM. 7. Belt of the fire department
that a. change be made in the regulations
relating to the age of applicants eligible to
appointment as tiremen. In the future APP
plicap's may be eligible for appointment in
the fire department who are between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty-three years.
Formerly the age limit was between TWEEN
ty-three and thirty-five years.
Chief Belt, in recommending the change
in the age limit of applicants. states that
the department has been obliged to refuse
scores of able-bodied men who would have
made splendid firemen, but under the reg
ulations they were year or two too young.
He believes that when a man has reached
thirty-three years of age he has arrived
at the climax of his physical condition. and
that this should be the maximum age at
which an applicant should be received.

HUMANE SOCIETY WORK.
Several Arrests Made for Overlooking
Teams During sleety Weather.

The agents of the Humane Society are
looking after the horses more carefully
than usual this season on account of the
bad condition of the streets. Several times
they have had occasion to complain OF the
overlooking of teams and had the drivers
return to the stables rather than subject
the horses to the difficult task of trying to
pull vehicles over steep grades.
What would be an ordinary load in
good weather" said one of the agents to a
Star reporter this morning, is entirely too
much when the streets are covered with
snow and sleet.'
Several arrests have been made this week
for alleged overlooking. One case was tried
in the Police Court this morning which
involved such a charge against William
King, a coal dealer. 1t was stated that
the animal was unable to go up the Con-
necticut avenue hill with d ton of coal.
The driver promptly took the animal to
the stable when policeman spoke to him.
1t was shown that the animal in question
had been hired by Mr.. King and that he
knew nothing about the loading. Judge
Scott was satisfied that the dealer had no
knowledge of the alleged overlooking and
dismissed the charge.
A charge OF overlooking was fled against
Edward Griggs. He was represented in
court by $40 collateral, and the money was
forfeited because he failed to appear.
Robert Battelle forfeited a similar sum
for alleged overlooking.
In an information filed against Elijah
Willbanks 1t was alleged he Ill treated q
horse. He forfeited s. collateral.
Towers Boreland forfeited a similar
amount because he worked lame horse.

Sothern as Hamlet.

The one opportunity of the Sothern- Mar
lowe engagement at the New National The
alter to see Mr.. Sotherns performance of
Hamlet was offered last night, Miss Mar
lowe playing Ophelia and Miss Bourne the
queen. Mr.. Sotherns Hamlet has be-
come one of the accepted characterizations
of the stage. and his performance last
night restored the impression of subtle in
tellectuality which marked his original ap-
pearance here in the role and which his
second appearance to some extent lacked
