SNEAK THIEF COT AWAY
Pretended He Was a Paper Hanger and
 Made Off With a Gold Watch.

A sneak thief, who must have had an unlimited amount of nerve or knew his ground very well entered the home of Mrs William Burns at 40S Wash ington avenue Monday and made off with a fine gold watch which was on a stand in one of the rooms. Monday a man went to the door of the Burns door and rang the bell The ring was answered by the little Sylginski girl who happened to be in the house. Mrs Burns having gone out on an errand. The stranger, for the girl did not know him. told her that he had come to paper the house and that he wanted to take look at the rooms before he brought his material. The child, who was none the wiser. allowed the man to enter and go through all the rooms on the floor. After getting what he wished he departed and 1t was some time before Mrs Burns returned. The girl told her that the man had come to see about the paprring of the house but this was news to her. as she had made no arrangements to have her home renovated. Immediately she be- came suspicious and upon investiga- ton found that the watch with few other articles had been carried off. As the girl could not give description of the man it Is not likely that he will be caught. The case is similar to that which happened in the country re- gently when man stopped at farm house and after deceiving the young fellow in charge got away with abont forty chickens. People should be more careful about leaving valuable arti- cles in charge of children while they are away, as there have been many cases, of theft reported in the last couple of months.

. THE WATER QUESTION
Every One With q Dollars Worth of
 Taxes to Pay Has an Opinion.

Everybody is delving into the wa- ter question and the deeper they SO the muddier the thing gets. Some want water for everybody at the same price and that not more than Will realize enough to meet the run- ming expenses of the department, while others insist that a fair price should be charged even though this snows large surplus. Now, which Is right? Think 1t over before you speak. Pretty soon almost as much water will be used in the outside dis trict as on the inside. Property out side the full taxation district never paid anything for the maintenance of the water system and 1t doesn't now. The cost of laying water mains, the interest on the bonds and so much or them as have been retired together with the cost of maintenance, all come out of property owners on the inside district and yet those on the outside don't pay any more for it than inside folks do. In general way it pays to be on the inside, but in this particular case the man on the outside has the drop on his neighbor. Isn't it funny that you don't hear a word about adjusting this? Never mind whether you want to treat private individuals on the square or not, take the factories and see the inequality there. Look at what big manufacturing concerns in the full taxation district have paid and are stilling contributing to the water system. They come down with their share for the expense of con- struction and maintenance, but they don't get water any cheaper than shops on the outside. Is this using the factories right? As a matter of fact big and little consumers in the full taxation district are being bun- coed in the interest of those on the outside and yet you don't hear much about 1t. The method of taxation in Waterbury is one-sided and the sys- tenn of assessing property needs re- vision as badly as that with refer- ence to water rents. If everybody in Waterbury was taxed in proportion to what he owns for the maintenance of the water works, then it would be all right to eQualize the rates, but while some simply pay for what wa ter they use and others meet the rum ming expenses of the plant besides settling for what water they con- sume 1t does not seem like equity that the price to all should be the same.
 Some of the factories stepped out side the old city line to avoid paying for the maintenance of the water system and it looks as if the manage ment of these concerns were wiser than the owners of the other plants who stood their ground and helped build up our magnificent water plant. How can the rates be equalized if water is sold to the ones on the out side at the same rate charged to those on the inside? The more ono looks at the question the more he be- comes convinced that the reformers started in at the wrong end. They should agitate for a system of taxa. tion which puts proportionate share ofathe expense ofarunning the water plant on all the property in Water- bury and then make bold stand for a flat rate.

The prospects for employers liability

The earneStness of the labor union

Senator La Toilette has been prepar-

and to undertake the rather large task
Of forcing consideration of it. A num-

WILL PUSY BILL GIVING
APPEAL IN BEEF CASES
Nevin Plans With Administration 10
ResurTect Measure for Benefit of
Governments Prosecution.

AS result of various conferences
among the Administration, the Depart
ment of Justice, and Congressman. Mr
Nevin of Ohio will soon call up in the
House his bill to regulate appeals In
criminal cases. This is the bill designed
TO enable the Government to appeal
criminal cases on points OF Law, without
putting the defendant a second time in
jeopardy.
The latest illustration OF the need of
such a law is found in the Judge
Humphrey decision in the packers
case. in which he decided that the
packers, by having told the Department
of Commerce and Labor some things
about their business, were made i'm
mune from criminal punishment or
prosecution. This ends the punishment
Of the packers personally, but the Gov
eminent wants TO determine whether
Judge Humphrey was right about the
law. 1t wishes TO appeal, and In order
TO do so, il must have Few legislation
The Nevin bill was introduced early
in the session, and after a stormy career
escaped from the House Committee on
Judiciary. 1t had. in ordinary circum-
stances, no chance to be reported this
session. But the packers decision
aroused a sudden demand for its pass
age
An effort will be made to pass it at
this session There Is some question
about its constitutionality. but this must
be fought out in the courts if il passes.
The appeal of the packers case would
doubtless be the first one under H.

AIM At SIXTEENTH STREET
Scheme is 0utgrowth OF Work for
Last Inauguration and Residents
Are Invited to Join.

A plan to beautify Washington
through n system OF elaborate lawns
and marking buildings and spots of
historic interest with suitable tablets
was formulated last night by the Com
mittee on Street Decorations and Civic
improvements, an outgrowth of the
last Inauguration. at a meeting at the
Arlington Hotel.
Frederick ID. Owen. president of the
organization, outlined the character OF
the work proposed. stating that the
plan is the product of architects,
artists. craftsmen, and professional
men OF the city.
Residents along Sixteenth street, on
Columbia Heights, and Capitol Hill will
be interested in the plan for model
lawns. and their cooperation will be
invited. In addition 10 this, the COM
mittee will prepare plans for plants
and flowers in window boxes.
SUCH scheme. carried on in a gen.
erous way, VIII, it is thought, enhance
the value of real estate.
Many buildings on historic spots
among them the New Willard, the
Raleigh. and the American Security and
Trust Company-will be marked by
tablets telling stories OF the past glory
of the premises. The committee also
proposes TO mark street crossings with
similar tablets where a record is known
or any historic association
The plan in general has the hearty
support of the District Commissioners
as was evidenced in letter from then
read at the meeting last night
Meetings OF the organization, which
will be permanent, will be held twice

HYATTSVILLE HUSTLING
FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT

HYATTSVILLE, Md. March 3O-A
mass meeting was held in Masonic Hall
last night to discuss the proposition of
bonding the town for s12, 900 for INSTALL
ing electric lights. This measure will
be voted upon by the citizens on
Hyattsville tomorrow. Edward r.
White acted as chairman and Edward
s. TGlhe secretary
The bill provides that 40 additional tax
shall be levied, but that 25 cents of the
40 cents now levied for general purposes
shall be devoted to the maintenance
of the electric lighting plant. William
Gulsta introduced hgures 10 show that
the same engine now used 10 punnp wa
ter could operate the dynamo. The pres
ent cost OF street lighting, added to the
revenue from furnishing light to homes
II Is claimed, would make the plant self
sustaining at the end of one year.
