DAYS DEFENSE OF OIL OCTOPUS.
He Declares That Roosevelt Is Near
Impeachment.

Chancellor James r. Day of Syracuse, N.
Y. University yesterday renewed his attack
on President Roosevelt in long letter
given out for publication. In part he said:
II am insisting upon principles upon
which I have held deepening convictions
for many months. 1t is not an impulsive
matter with me. The coordinate branches
Of the government must be defended and
kept inviolate. The rights of the indi-
vidual must be as profoundly respected

the citizen. Private commercial business

STRAW HATS ONCE MORE
WEATHER INDICATOR SAYS COLD
SPELL rs OVER.

Beiated pedestrians and policemen who
were abroad on the streets of Washington
at 3 O'Clock this morning report that they
shivered with cold. and were reluctantly
forced to the belief that spring had slipped
several cogs in the wheel or time and d. -. y
winter had returned. This condition was
explained by Prof. Edward B. Garrfott. the
official weather forecasser, who informed
a Star reporter today that the mercury In
the Thermometer went rapidly down after
midnight last night, until at o'clock this
morning II reached the unprecedented May
temperature of only nine-tenths of an inch
above the freezing point.
That was the record-breaker.' said the
professor. NE such low temperature for
the month Of May has ever been recorded
hereabouts before Had the mercury gone
down but fraction OF an Inch lower water
IN exposed places would have been frozen.
BY o'clock this morning the temperature
had gone up to 4S degrees, and this after
noon 1t is S.
The forecaster gave the cheerful informa-
ton that the cold wave Is now past, and by
tomorrow and Sunday the people can re-
sumo their straw hats and discard their
overcoats. The weather, he added, Will
rapidly become warmer. Tonight he pre-
diets the temperature will not go below the
80 mark.

Prof. Sergio Andreievitch MouromtsefY,

OF parliament when that body organized in
81 Petersburg yesterday afternoon. is a
member of a noble family OF St. Peters,
burg He was born In 1880 and educated
IN the law department OF Moscow Uni
versity. In 1874 he attracted the attention
OF the LEGAL world by a mastery disserta-
ton on Conservatism In Roman Jurispru-
dence." thereby winning fellowship in the
university. While he was an Instructor he
printed several legal dissertations which
have become standard. He was rapidly
promoted TO a full professorship His con-
servatism. however. was confined to his
writings on ancient law.
Owing TO his political activity he was
soon In hot water and was forced to leave
the university and abandon his educational
career. He began the practice Of the law
and the editing Of the Legal Messenger but
hto activity here was even moro distasteful

UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Belated Bidders Appeal to the Commits
sioners.

A hearing was granted by the Commits
sioners this morning to w. A. Fry, a local
contractor who wished to voice his protest
against the non-consideration of bid sub
mitted by him In competition with the pro-
posed Improvement of four District school
buildings. Mr.. Fry stated that the specifi-
cations required that the bids should either
reach the secretary OF the board by mail or
by personal delivery at or before the hour
of noon, and that on the day in question
he reached the District building at Ave min
utes before noon. DR.. Tfndall, the secre-
tary, was not at his desk. and in doubt as
to what course to pursue Mr.. Fry said he
sat In the board room, which adJoins the
secretary's office, until just before the hour.
when he placed his proposal on the board
room table.
Two or three minutes after the noon hour
he met Chief Clerk A. Y. Lakenan, the lat
ter having opened the other bids In another
room. and Mr.. Lakenan said he could not
accept the proposal. 1t was then placed
in the hands of one OF the assistants In
the secretary's Office and the time marked
on IL, with the statement that the matter
would be brought before the Commissioners
1t seems that It has been the custom for
contractors to place their proposals for any
District work in a special locket box In the
secretarys Office, but this box, Mr.. Fry
claimed, was not mentioned in the specifi-
cations and he knew nothing about 1t.
After hearing his side of the case the Com
missioners stated that they would take the
matter under consideration before finally
awarding the contracts.

BUILDING LINE IN DISPUTE.
Commissioners Without Power to Con
cede Right to Extra Space.

In an effort to have decided the question
of their right to construct house on the
old building line In an alley in the square
bounded by 14th. 18th and G streets and
Pennsylvania avenue. Henry A. Willard
and H. X. Willard appeared before the
Commissioners this morning at a public
hearing In the board room. 1t was ex-
planned that the old building that was de-
molished to make way for the improvement
had projected one foot over the recorded
building line on the alley, and the owners
of the property had gone ahead with the
improvement until the walls of the new
building now two feet above ground
1t was shown that the district surveyor
had called attention to the matter but the
owners had no other reason to think that
they did not have the right to occupy the
full tract covered by the old building for
forty years or more.
The Commissioners stated that they had
no objection to allowing the use of the ex-
ira foot of alley space, but there seemed
to be no power conferred upon the Com
missioners by law which would seem to
render any decision of theirs in such prem
Uses binding in the courts.
The Messrs. Willard were informed that
II they chose to go ahead on their own
responsibility. or. In other words, to take
a chance the Commissioners would not
object.

riers, instead of railroads only, as provided

lieve the employer from liability when the
accident is caused wholly by the employees
negligence. or to accidents where two or
more persons. equal in authority. are neg
lgent in such manner that an employe Is
injured. This provision will not relieve the
carrier from liability. however. where the
employe Is injured by reason of carrying
out the orders of a foreman or any other
person in authority. Several amendments
are pending to the third section OF the bill.
which relates to relief associations.
