Lighting Mills Avenue, Langdon.

To the Editor OF Inc start
The Star recently stated that the District
Commissioners intended to remove the
street lamps from Mills avenue, Langdon,
because it was not really a public street.
On learning of the proposed removal the
writer communicated with the Commission
ers on the subject. explaining.that the lights
had been in use for over a year, and that
while too few in number and too far apart,
were nevertheless. a great convenience and
protection, especially to the numerous per-
sons of both sexes who returned from the
city every evening.
A letter Just received from the Commits
sioners is Of interest to residents Of Lang
don and others concerned. It says:
1T Is not the intention of the Commits
sioners to remove the lamps at present
While the Commissioners feel justified in
making this concession. in view of the fact
that the lamps have been in use at that
point for an extended period and their re-
moval would be q needless hardship to the
residents of the vicinity without any special
advantage to the District. the Commission
ers would not feel justified in erecting any
new lights on that or any other road known
to be private way"
All patrons Of Mills avenue-and It Is used
by several hundred daily-will fully appre-
ciate this gracious ruling of the Commits
sioners. CHARLES II. COE.

SIGHTSEEING TODAY.
The Telegraphers Enjoying Visit Here
Banquet Tonight.

Sightseeing this morning and a banquet
this evening comprised the program of the
telegraphers today. They are through with
the work of the convention and the only
thing that remained was to enjoy them
selves. Consequently the party assembled
at the Arlington this morning and started
at $50, headed by President Young, for
Mt. Vernon. The most of them had been
there before, but the visit was new to some.
1t was cold but beautiful fall day none
the less. They were met at the grounds by
Superintendent Dodge and shown all over
the mansion and the gardens. The visit &C.
cupied them till past noon when they re-
turned to the city for luncheon.
In the afternoon they went to the Corco-
ran Art Gallery. Thence they will visit the
Washington Monument, the Smithsonian
and the National Museum and return to the
hotel for the banquet tonight which is al
ways the eliminating feature of the con-
vention.
There are number Of interesting after
dinner talks down on the program for to-
night Prof. Willis Moore of the Weather
Bureau will tell Of the use Of wireless in
the weather reports. There will be popu-
lar and technical talk by 3. w. Trafford on
the telephone in its relation to the tele-
graph, and Commander E. E. Hayden Will
tell of the time service of the national OBJ
cervatory. John E. Wilkie, chief OF the
secret service, will give some of the rem
Col. Wilson, president OF the Society of the
Military Telegraph, will relate some of the
experiences of the military telegrapher dur
ing the civil war.
Mr.. J. E. Petit, secretary and treasurer
OF the United States Telegraph Corps. con-
tracted a violent cold during the visit of the
Geographic societies to Arlington Heights
Tuesday. He did not realize his condition
until after he had further aggravated the
cold by sitting in draught at Chase s
Theater the same evening. BY am. he
required the most energetic and skillful at
tention Of a physician, who found it nee
essary to give hypOdermic injection to
ease the extreme pain he was experiencing.
AS soon as the news spread about the
Arlington the whole fraternity became
nurses and served as messengers to the
physician, and in his absence, to the de-
voted young daughter Of Mr. Petit. A yer
liable little mountain Of rubber bags filed
with hot water were placed about him.
Mustard leaves also were literally employ
ed. The result was that Mr.. Petit was
able to be out of bed at II o'clock today.

Mr.. G. A. Baker, Not Mr.. Lancaster,
Author of Resolution

In the published report of the proceedings
of the West Washington Citizens Associa-
ton, Mr.. c. c. Lancaster was credited with
having presented "a resolution advocating
a limited local government for the District
Of Columbia when in fact the resolution
was introduced by Mr.. Charles A. Baker,
a member of the association. Mr.. Lancas-
ter was guest of the association and his
address advocated the election of a delegate
to the House of Representatives, which
would give the District the same rights as
are enjoyed by other territories.
