Functions of Local
Board of Trade


''Why board of trade in Washington"
That is a question that might be asked
when it is recalled that this city Is not in
the usual sense of that wCrd a commercial
city. An organization thus named is gem
orally associated with great business enter
prises and with the quotations of the mar
kets and methods OF forwarding commercial
undertakings. While such features are not
a part of the business of the organization
in this city which has that title and which
is associated with so much that has to do
with the improvements and progress of the
city, yet after ALL it's functions, broadly
speaking, DO not differ from similar organi-
cations in other places.
The object of the Washington Board of
Trade is to advance and promote the inter-
ests of the city, and in dCiag the con-
Germs of every individual are favorably af-
fected- This is exactly what the average

The ethics of interviewing is a large ques-

of it is permissible and where the limit

long to his kind, and one has legitimate
interest, II not in his neckties and his
favorite shaving soaps. at least in the cx-
preston OF his countenance and his habit

To cater to the idle curiosity for the

what they aim to accomplish. In other
words, they are organizations of citizens
that have in view the welfare of the COM
munity and lend their efforts and their in
fuence TO forward 1t.
In this city, however. there is another OBJ
Ject accomplished by such an organization
and that is made possible owing to the pc
culfar conditions that exist here. There is
no medium or method here by which public
opinion can be ascertained, as is the case in
other cities. Or. in other words, the me-
dunn that IS usually relied upon in this
country. namely popular elections do not
find place here, for the reason that under
the Constitution of the United States the
District of Columbia Is a section of terri
tory that has been placed under the exclu-
siye legislation of Congress.
During the past thirty years or more Con-
gress has seen fit to exercise that power
without the creation of any intermediate
form of government such as existed here In
the earlier years. In order to secure the
best results it is quite obvious that some
plan must be devised for keeping the ma
tional legislature informed to what are
the wishes of the people in regard to the
various measures that come before 1t af-
fecting the District. The Commissioners of
the District its executive officers placed
in these positions to execute the laws of
Congress, and while they represent the
wishes of the people as far as they are able
TO learn them, as individuals and in their
official capacities, still the Commissioners
like to hear the views of as large a number
of citizens is possible.
1t Is the experience that the committees
of Congress that have to do with District
affairs have much the same attitude, and
while in the course of a busy session either
the committees or the two houses fail TO
give attention to many matters of impor-
lance, still that Is a complaint that is heard
from people who are interested in legisla-
ton affecting the states the country at
large. Ii is Il general complaint. Hardly
a session of Congress comes TO a close but

Of pool player indicted for gambling,
and the facts in the case are Just
such as are and have been for long
years common in pool and other games
where more than one play a game
and the loser pays the whole bill.
The table keeper charged 5 cents a
cue, but allowed the whole charge to
fall TO the loser. The grand jury found
true bill in the case. and the jury
found the defendant guilty of gambling
as charged.
A new trial was refused and w. NJ.
Graham, who represents the defen-
dant, will carry the case to the SUI
preme court. The decision of that
body will be awaited with interest, as
the ruling of Judge Fite, if sustained,
will have a widespread effect in cases
of games. including billiards. ten pins
and many other kinds that have been
played under the custom on which the
defendant in this case was indicted.

young ladies For physical culture

The advertisement attracted the at
tention of more than 1000 young wo-
men, who arrayed themselves in their
best gowns and went to "Parlor A,

doctor. BY noon the line reached into

The prisoner gave his name as

of F. A. Hort & Co, 3S4 State street.
