TRANSFER TO BE MADE.
Norfolk and Washington Company to
Get Old Ferry Property.

The transfer of the property of the old
Washington Steamboat Company, limited,
of New York, consisting of the terminals
at Alexandria, the lease of the ferry wharf
here and the hull of the burned steamer
Columbia will be made within the next day
or two from Mr.. w. B. Hibbs, who pur
chased it from the New York parties, to
the new ferry company controlled by the
Norfolk & Washington Steamboat Com.
pany. AS soon this is completed the
boat which is to do temporary duty on the
ferry route while the steel steamers are
being built, will be secured and placed on
the route.
The plans for the new terminal at this
end do away with the slip in its present
location and a new slip will be constructed,
SO that passengers and teams will go from
the steamer directly out up on Water street
instead OF passing through long shed on
the wharf to the steamer. The new ferry
house will be a modern structure modelled
on the plan of those in use in the larger
cities in the north.
The street car coupon, which will be
part of the ticket to be sold on the new
ferry it is stated by prominent official of
the new company, will be good on the lines
of both the Capital Traction Company and
the Washington Railway Sc Electric Com
pany. and not on one line only, as sug-
gested
The publication of the ferry plans in The
Star yesterday afternoon attracted much
attention particularly in Alexandria, and
it was the main topic of discussion in that
city last night The news was received
with pleasure, it gave definite informa-
ton as to the interest that would control
the ferry and outlined the plans of the
new company.

ised and the new ferry line In service. the

for a boom in business in their city.

WILL NOT BE GIVEN UP
TARGET PRACTICE NEAR WATERS
OF MARrHAs VINEYARD.
It is Not Believed That the Fishing in
the NeighborRood Has Been
Impaired.

It is announced at the Navy Department
that the vessels of the North Atlantic fleet
will have target practice$as usual next fall
in the waters south of Marthas Vineyard
That decision is due to the conclusion of
the fish commission that such practice
does not injuriously affect the fishing In
dustries in that vicinity. In order, how
ever. to reduce the possibility of injury to
minimum the target practice which has
been heretofore conducted in Nememsha
Blight, near Gay Head. viii hereafter take
place at place further to the south and
east about ten or twelve miles south of
point about midway of Marthas Vineyard.
1t had been represented by the coastwise
residents of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island that the firing of guns "frightens
away the schools of maekerel, biuefish.
Goldfish and other fish on their way to the
spawning grounds in the sounds, bays and
inlets adjacent to those waters" and the
depa rtment was asked not to allow the tar
get practice to continue after July 1.
/ These petitions were referred to the
commissioner of fish, and fisheries, who
made an exhaustive report on the subject,
the conclusions of which are contained in
the following extract from the letter of
Mr.. Metcalf, Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, in transmitting the report to the
Navy Department: ~
1T would appear that the effects of tar
get practice have been greatly exaggerated,
and the informa ton available fails entirely
to show that the abundance of fish has
been Influenced thereby. The variation in
abundance during theSyears covered by the
target practice and the years Immediately
preceding are such as occur normally In
the immediate vicinity of the warships dur
ing the gun-fring fishing would undoubt-
edly be interrupted. but 1t would be con-
trary to all experience il fishes frightened
by the noise and shock remained away from
favorite grounds after the conclusion of the
disturbance.
"Similar remonstrance against target
practice would doubtless come from any
other point on the coast to which the squad
ron could resort; and, in view of the excep-
tional advantages afforded by the Gay
Head grounds and the short time covered
by the work. 1t is believed by this depart
ment that the Navy Department would be
justified In continuing to use those grounds
for the purpose in question until it shall
have been definitely esta blished that the
fisheries are suffering injury thereby
Partly in explanation of its purpose to
have the usual target practice off Martha's
Vineyard next-fall, the Secretary of the
Navy has forwarded copies of the report of
the fish commissioner on the subject to
the senators and representatives from Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island and others in
terested in the matter.

Direct Taxes and Terminal Legislation.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There is one point In the decision of the
Court of Appeals. rendered recently in the
union station tax case on which / desire
to make some remarks. As The Star re-
ports the decision the court holds that the
money appropriated. and the tax on the
people Of the District. levied in order to
raise it. were for the best interest of the
National Capital This view is inferred
| from the following extract from your re-
port of the decision:
THE appellate court takes the view that
the case is practically that of a contract
between the United States and the District
of Columbia, on the one side. and the rail-
road companies on the other whereby the
railroad companies agree to surrender GER
tain rights and to construct u work of
great magnitude, greater perhaps than
their own needs require, but which Con-
gress deems to be demanded for the best
interest of the national capital and by the
public at large; and for this surrender of
right and this work of magnitude common
surate with the public demand Congress
agrees to pay certain sum, partly out of
the funds of the United States and partly
out of the funds of the District of Column
bia.
If this be so, the primary object of the
legislation was federal and national and
not local; and in that case the entire cost
should have been federal and national and
not local. Furthermore a tax for a gem
distributed. or ''apportioned among the
several states in proportion to population.
This point was made in Mr.. Millard's bill
and argument, but the court disregarded it.
In his argument, which l had the pleas
ure of hearing. Mr.. Willard showed that
every direct tax" was a tax in the strict
sense of the word, and that tax on land
was direct tax, and in no possible sense
a mere incidental charge, or duty like
seignorage, or postage. the tax on the
aggregate amount of notes circulated by
national bank, which notes are furnished
by the government for it's use. To estab-
iish this, he cited the income tax decision
and that of Bank agt. Nebelker. But the
Court of Appeals does not mention this
point at ALL though it was the leading
point in the case-the point on which the
other objections to the legislation were
founded. If Congress can, by special tax
laws originating in the Senate, saddle the
District of Columbia with half the burden
of the federal and national expenditures in
violation of the two express provisions of
the Constitution relating to the origin and
apportionment of taxes this will soon be
good place to emigrate FROM
