which was adopted, was In part follows;
1T will be seen by reference to that por-
ton OF the estimates Of the District COM
missioners covering the subject of sewers
for the year 1907 that but three items are
included therein for the sewage disposal
system. These are for dykes along a por-
ton of Virginia avenue to the Monument
grounds and across the valley OF the James
Creek canal at street In the sum OF ST3.-

furniture for the pumping station iu tho
sum Of $4,000 or an aggregate of SI4S0oo.
When these amounts are duly appropriated,
the only further charges upon the District
estimates for the system VIII be that for
annual maintenance"
Then follows extensive quotation from
the estimate OF the Commissioners for the
fiscal year 1907 for cleaning and repairing
sewers and basins. constructing and MAIN

for the information of the members your
committee has included In its report a state

IN FAVOR OF DEFENSE.
Judge Mullowny Dismisses Charge
Against Alleged Union Picket.


Judge Mulowny again decided today IN
favor OF the union printers VINO are on
strike in a case in which a union man was
charged with disorderly conduct in stop
ping and converstng with one Of the other
employees of an open shop. Bela 8. Feeney
was the defendant in the case which was
tried today, and Attorney Ralston ap-
peared for the defense The charge was
dismissed.
w T. Roberts of 40 18th street north
west and his son, Is. II. Roberts, wore the
complaining witnesses in the case. The
father testified that when he came from
his shop several days ago ne saw soma
union pickets on the street near 10Th ana
q streets northwest. lie turned back TO
hts shop, ana a snort time afterward, with
his son. they went to take a car. one OF
them spoke OF the pickets when some ona
behind them said:
Yes I'm a picket
When Mr.. Roberts looked around, he
testified. he saw that II was Mr.. keeney
who had made the remark. They couversed
at 18th and q streets FOR a few minutes.
and then Mr.. Feeney left them 10 take
car, saying:
.'l'u see you both later
This testimony was corroborated by the
son in nearly every detail. Mr.. Roberts
added that he had seen the union picke;s
on this corner since January 10, and thar
the union men had gone to the homes OF
the employees to harass the wives while the
men were at work
In his own behalf the defendant denied
that he was doing picket service on the
corner. or that he had tried to 1ntimidate
or threaten Mr.. Roberts.

PRESIDENT BUFFERS ASSERTION
BY WILLIAM Z. CURTIS.
Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.

NEW YORK, February %. 1906
Railroad men here are unanimous in the
opinion that the legislation in Ohio and
other states limiting the railroads TO
charge of two cents per mile for carrying
passengers is the direct penalty of abolish
ing passes. The bill was introduced in the
Ohio legislature Immediately after the 1st
of January, and was considered only few
days in committee. Seldom, If ever, has
any important legislation been enacted so
promptly. Virginia legislature has had
similar bill under consideration and 1t has
passed the lower house already. There Is
practically no opposition to it in the other
branch, and ii viii become law without
the slightest doubt, probably before this
letter appears in print. Similar bills have
been introduced in West Virginia and Ken
lucky, and they, too are expected to be-
come laws without delay. This is the pun
iShment imposed upon the railway COM
panies for depriving the members of the
legislature and their friends and other
politicians of perquisltes which they have
enjoyed so long. From a pecuniary point
of view it would have been much more
economical for the railway to have con-
tinued to carry them free rather than have
their revenues from passenger traffic cut
down almost 33 per cent, because the rul-
ing rate except for excursions. has been
about three cents a mile. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which started the anti-pass
movement. will lose millions of dollars
because of these tWo-Cent-a- mile laws.

Experience at Harvard.
