PROPOSED UMBRELLA SHEDS.
Not Known What View Commissioners
Will Take.

Although the proposed amendment. au-
thorizing umbrella" sheds at the new
union station, has not yet been referred to
the Commissioners for consideration and re-
port. the subject has already become one
of surmise and discussion in the District
building. 1t may, or may not, come before
the Commissioners in the usual way before
final action is taken in Congress. but the re-
suit so far accomplished has been about
the same. Engineer Commissioner Biddle.
to whom the matter would be directed at
the District building, was invited to be
present when the House District committee
inquired into the merits and dement's Of
umbrella Sheds. and he furnished certain
information. but not an opinion.
In discussing the situation today Conn
missioner Biddle said: Congress has not
asked the opinion of the Commissioners,
and even If they should could not now
tell what the answer would be. for the
reason that the whole problem IL still UNI
der consideration and experiment. am
told that umbrella sheds OF the new type
advocated for the union station are being
used at Broad street station. Pkfladelphia,
where the tracks extend beyond the big
shed, and that they have not proved en-
fireIy satisfactory, but even Of this cam
not speak from actual observation.

For Post Office Addition.

United States Attorney Baker. on behalf

petition In the District Supreme Court for
the condemnation OF part of square 324.
which lies directly south of the Post Office
Department building. The land is needed
for an addition to the post office.
Part of the property has been purchased,
but the price asked for the portion pro-
posed to be condemned was considered ex-
cessive, and hence the petition for con-
domination.
The portion of the square affected by the
petition is the entire B street front and
small lot on 18th street.

Husband and wife Asphyxiated.

William F. Sears and his life were found
dead in their apartments in Chicago yester-
day. The gas had been turned on and all
apertures stopped with rags. From the
actions of Mrs. Sears during the past few
days and from letters which were found IN
the room the police believe that she turned
on the gas while her husband was sleeping
and then locked the door. Jealousy over
the supposed infatuation Of her husband
for another woman is the cause ascribed
for her act. Sears and His wife came 10

Mr.. DARNEILLE'S REPLY
COMMENTS on STATEMENTS OF
ANrI-sALooN LEAGUE.

H. H Darnieile, assessor of the District of
Columbia, and chairman of the excise board
mas taken exception to many of the state-
ments in the letter in which the Anti
Saloon League sought to further the inter-
ests of bill which proposes new and
differently constituted excise board. In a
formal statement issued today Mr.. Oar
nellie went into the subject at length. TAX
ing up each point raised by the Auti-Saloon
League In It's letter. which was published
In The Star yesterday. The statement
follows:
"All this talk about a change In the ex-
else board. to my mind. is gross refiec-
ton upon the membership of the board as
at present constituted.
The excise law is economically. con-
Servatlyely and honestly administered by
the present poard of assistant assessors,
who have most to do with the granting of
liquor licenses.
.'As to the talk In relation to citizens
protests not receiving just consideration.
and that protestants realize that there Is
practically little or no use in making a
protest against established place. de-
sire to say that the law amply provides
for a way to eliminate saloon where the
objections are such as to make 1t neces-
sary from the standpoint of the citizens
and property owners in any particular To-
cality.
The law in part provides that whenever
majority of residents and property owners
in any given location protest against the re-
issue of a liquor license, 1t Is mandatory
upon the excise board to reject said re-
newal. The excise board cannot at all
times please all elements. They do the
best that they know how, justly and WISE
ly using the discretion vested in them by
law, and because protestants do not make
out a sufficient case against an established
place to warrant it's rejection, there Is no
good reason why said board should reject
the same.
Conduct Themselves Properly.
Where place has been located for many
years, and the licensee conducts himself
and said place In manner to warrant the
renewal of his license. the excise board
feels it but just to grant the same.
LAS to the advisabilty of making a
change on account of the board of assistant
assessors being charged with the duty OF
assessing property, and that the excise
board should be separate and distinct from
the revenue-getting board. 1 desire to say
that the one desire of the members as
real estate or as excise board, Is to DO
Justice to all sides. The board of assistant
assessors have ample time to deal with the
excise matters, and as / have said before
from economical standpoint there coulo
be no Improvement in the situation.
1.-The excise board has passed many reso-
buttons for the betterment of the morals
of the community. They have, at the re-
quest of the temperance people In many
cases. where the necessary signers have
been obtained by the applicant for new
license. and all other requirements of the
law complied with rejected the same.
II do not see how it is possible to get
an excise board who would more fairly and
conscientiously administer the laws en-
enforcement than the one as at present
constituted"

CAUCASIAN AND NEGRO.
they Are Fusdam~ntal OpDss1tO
Extremes In E~olutioa.


The Caucasian has the subjective fae
ulties well developed; the negro the OBJ
jective. The Caucasian, and more par
ticularly the Ansio-Saxon, is dominant
and domineering and possessed prima-
rily with determination, will power,
self control, self government and all
the attributes OF the subjective self,
with high development of the ethical
and aesthetic faculties and great real
soning powers. The negro is In direct
contrast by reason of a certain lack Of
these powers, and a great development
of the objective qualities The negro
is primarily affectionate. immensely
emotional then sensual and, under
provocation, passionate. There Is love
OF outward show, OF ostentation. of ap-
probation He loves melody and rude
kind of poetry and sonorous language.
There is undeveloped artistic power
and taste-negroes make good artisans
and handicraftsmen. They are def
cient In Judgment, in the formation Of
new ideas from existing facts, in de-
vising hypothesis and in making de-
ductions in general. They are initiative
rather than original. inventive or con
structive. There is instability OF char
acter incident TO lack OF self control,
especially in connection with the sex
ual relation. and there is lack OF
orientation or recognition of position
and condition of self and environment,
evidenced in various ways, but 10y a

Professor Blackshear OF Texas, this is

the one is subjective, the other objec-
