Regarded as Minimum.

The resolution also expressed the belief
that while there Is no inherent relation be-
tween spaces and children, and the exact
amount of space required cannot be deter
mined. the present London requirement OF
thirty square feet of playground for each
child of the school Is the minimum with
which the proper amount of air light and
space for play and gymnastics can be Sc
cured" 1t was therefore recommended that
the playground space should not be less
than the area above mentioned for each
child in the school.
II was also resolved that Fairgrounds
should be constructed on land owned by the
city and operated at the expense OF the
same. and that. considering the size of the
school districts of Washington. there should
be at least one public playground in each of
the school districts, providing in this way
not less than two acres of playground for
each 1900 children of this city.
Reference was made in the resolution,
among other things, to the success attend
ing the maintenance of playground build
ings In Chicago and the municipal gymna-
Sums of Boston. In view OF these condi-
lions the belief was stated that no play
ground system can be a model one unless
provided with this feature. The erection of
such a building in Washington in order to
thoroughly test its utility was recon-
mended.

The resolution further declared that

asserted that the parks of Washington. In

PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL
Movement Looking to Early Free
Trade With Islands

Friends of the Philippine tariff bill have
taken action looking to a reconsideration of
the measure in the Senate committee In
order to get it on the Senate calendar Sem
ator Long filed a motion asking a recon
sideration OF the vote by which the Nc
Creary amendment providing free trade
with the Philippines at once was defeated,
and this motion may be disposed of at a
future meeting.
The McCreary amendment has been de-
feated by vote of to 4. The bill itself
provides for free trade after 1863 and 1t
had three republican votes in the commit
tee. They were Senators Lodge, Long and
Beveridge. If these men should decide to
vote for the democratic measure providing
free trade Immediately and it's four demo-
cratic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Culberson Car
mack, McCreary and Stone-remain faith
full, 1t could be reported from the commit
tee. If one of these democrats should vote
against the motion it would fail by a tie
vote.
The Senate committee on the Philippines
has agreed to report favorably the House
bill extending until 1869 the application of
the coastwise laws to the Philippine Is
lands.

Judge Nathan Golf took the case of the
United States against Representative Il.
Spencer Blackburn out of the hands OF
the jury.
The court room, which was crowded re-
sounded with cheers when Judge Golf s
decision was announced. and there was no
attempt made to quiet the demonstration.
Representative Blackburn, who sat with
his lawyers within the rail. was imme-
diately surrounded by an eager crowd of
friends Of both political parties who
warmly congratulated him.
Blackburn was charged by the govern
ment with having violated as a representa-
tive section 1872 of the Revised Statutes
in practicing and receiving a fee therefore
before the government departments at
Washington.
He was brought to trial on eight indict-
ments five of which We're secured at Ashe-
vile, N. c., and three at the federal court
of the western district of North Carolina,
sitting at Greensboro.
On account of the recent trials of Senator
Burton and Representative briggs for the
same alleged offense, the trial has at
tracted national attention. The very best
legal talent both on the part of the gov
eminent and defense, has been employed in
its prosecution.
The United States was represented by
former Judge l.. l.. l.. Lewis, district at
torney for the eastern district of Virginia,
assisted by ]. ]. Britt, assistant district
attorney for the western district of North
Carolina while Blackburn interests were
looked after by former Judge w. P. By
mum, jr., E. j. Justice, A. L. Brooks and
G. Sam Bradshaw, quartet of the finest
lawyers in the state 1t was at the con-
flusion of Judge Lewis strong argument
for conviction that Judge Golf, after an ex-
haustive review of the case told the jury
that If 1t should render verdict Of
guilty he would promptly set 1t aside. He
therefore ordered that the jury should
write the words Not guilty upon each OF
the eight indictments

TEST OF THE SMOKELAW
CONTENTION OF PETITIONER UP
HELD BY THE COURT.

Justice Barnard of the District Supreme
Court today decided that John Mel. Dod-

who is seeking by habeas corpus proceed
ings to test the constitutionality of the Dis
trict smoke law, has the right TO introduce
evidence to show that the law cannot be
complied with and that its enforcement
would have the effect of taking his prop
erty without just compensation.
The District authorities contended that
the defendant, having been tried and con-
victed in the Police Court, should have
sought a reversal OF the Judgment in the
Court of Appeals and should not attempt to
make a habeas corpus writ exercise the
function of a writ of error.
