HONORS ITS PRESIDENT
EAST WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION
PRESENTS LOVING CUP.

President Smith of the East Washington
Citizens Association was last night pre-
sented with silver loving cup by the men,
bers of that body at meeting held at 314
Pennsylvania avenue southeast. The cup
was stated to be testimonial of esteem
from his co-workers of the association.
Secretary Sperry read the report of the
committee on streets and alleys. Mr.. A.
Girouard, the chairman, who was absent
recommended for grading and regulating
the following streets: Georgia avenue from
Sth to 18th street, Kentucky avenue from
B street to the Pennsylvania avenue bridge,
South Carolina avenue from 18th to 10Th
street, Massachusetts avenue from Lincoln
Park to 10th street, Tennessee avenue from
B to 18th street and North Carolina ave-
nue. from A to 10th street. Particular at
tention was called to the necessity of the
improvement of Georgia and Kentucky ave-
nues and e street between 10th and 18th
streets northeast. The paving of E street
from 18th to 10th street southeast and B
street between 18th and 18th streets south
east was regarded as important and much
needed, as in the case of e street the i'm
provement will give continuous fine road
way from the western section of the city to
the Congressional cemetery. The report
was adopted.

COURT BAILIFF DEAD
JOHN w. GRAHAM EXPIRES SUD-
DENLY.

The news of the death of John w. Ora
ham, which occurred at his home near VI
emma, Fairfax county, Va. last evening
about o'clock. was received this morning
with great surprise and general sorrow by
the officials of the Police Court and others
in the city who knew him. 1t was not even
known among his friends here that he was
seriously III, and 1t seems that his death was
very sudden. Before he left on his annual
leave on August 1 he complained of not feel
ing WELL and for several days he was con-
fined to his home and was unable to tend to
his court duties. But 1t was understood that
he was recovering.
W. E. Graham, brother of the deceased,
who is deputy clerk of Fairfax county, tele-
phoned the following message to the Police
Court today regarding the death and the
arrangements for the funerals:
MY brother, J. w. Graham, bailiff at the
Washington, D. c.. Police Court, died at
home near Vienna, Fairfax county last
at Vienna a l o'clock, Friday August 25.
John W. Graham has been known in court
circles in this city for upward of twenty
years. He was. when a young man,
Waterman at the City Hail. From that po-
sition he accepted one In the mechanical de-
partment of the District Jail. He afterward
became guard there, and his record OF
service is excellent He was a stern disci-
plinarian, and managed the prisoners at the
Jail well. At one time. 1t Is told, he Quelled
riot in one part OF the District Jail alone.
Several of the prisoners were in riot, and
Mr.. Graham put them back in their cells
and gave each a punishment for the trouble.
In April. 1894, he resigned guard at
the Jail and became constable under Judge
Scott, who was then justice of the peace.
When Judge Scott was made a justice OF
the Police Court he appointed John Graham
bailiff, in which capacity he has served
in the court ever since. His work was done
efficiently and well, and he was very popu
lar among all who had business at the
court. He kept good order during the ses
sions of the court, and his Step out and be-
have yourself was known to all.
Mr. Graham was a resident of Georgetown
for a good many years. moving from that
city about three years ago to farm near
Vienna, where his death occurred.

REVOCATION OF LICENSE.
Penalty Proposed for Second Violation
of Automobile Law.

Commissioner Mcfarland favors the rev.
ocation OF license of Automobiles who
have been twice convicted of exceeding the
speed limit. A similar provision is found
in the laws of several other jurisdictions,
and has been found effectual. While Mr..
Macfarland believes that Automobiles
generally respect the law and endeavor to
keep within the speed limit he thinks the
reckless ones should be punished more Sc
verely than simply by fine
Imprisonment after the second conviction
has been suggested. but while that would
deter many by its disgrace. 1t would be but
temporary, and afterward the reckless per-
son could exceed the speed limit, but If he
was debarred from operating a machine in
the District of Columbia Mr.. mcfarland
believes the community would be safer. At
the same time, Mr. mcfarland would not
oppose provision for Imprisonment as
well as fine. for the effect il would have SO
far * went.
Commissioner Mcfarland requested Mai.
Sylvester this morning to investigate the
case of the police officer at Takoma Park
who Is reported to have taken collateral to
the amount of only 81 from an automobiles
who had no District number on his ma
chine and whose lamp was unlit. also to
see that the precinct station officers were
Instructed TO exact adequate collateral In
all cases of violation of the automobile reg
ulations.

ALLEGED NUISANCE
COL. HoXIE's REPORT ON ALEX
ANDRIA ISLAND POND.

Col. HoX!e, the engineer officer in charge
of the improvement of the Potomac river,
has made a report to Gen. Mackenzie, chief
OF engineers, in regard to an alleged nui-
sance prejudicial to public health in the
shape of pond of Stagnant water on Alex
ander's Island. Va, said to have been
caused by the construction of an embank-
ment across Roach's run for railway pur-
poses. He transmits a map showing por-
tons of the District of Columbia and of
Virginia in the vicinity of the present High
way bridge, and showing also the prolonga-
ton of the railroad bridge In the state OF
Virginia across the marsh drained by
Roach's run
AT present" says Col. Hoxie "a box
culvert of insufficient capacity. without
proper channels of approach on either s.de
affords an imperfect substitute for the
original run, and the situation appears to
be practically represented by the health
officer of the District The work on the
railroad bridge Is now being done under
the supervision of this office, under a per-
NIT from the War Department, granted
under section IL of the act of Congress ap-
proved February II. 1901, for the elimina-
ton of certain grade crossings in the Dis
trict, etc. l can find no authority for the
supervision by this office of the work Of the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company
beyond the Virginia abutment of the
bridge. and assume that through the state
Of Virginia all work is being done under
the laws of Virginia. This would appear
to exempt from federal supervision the
question of the construction of this cause
way and the creation of the pond of stag
nant water thereby, Notwithstanding the
intimate relation of the work to the inter-
ests of the District of Columbia. I learn.
however, upon inquiry, that it is the inten-
ton of the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road Company to construct n twenty-fOot
culVert to replace tic present temporary
