''In every direction from Georgetown the

that the city that he so admired should for

FOUNTAIN RESTORED TO USE
Was the Gift Of a Californian in
1888.

II Is noted as a coincident that while
the destruction of San Francisco has been
the subject foremost In the minds of the
public the Commissioners have only just
completed the restoration of a public drink
ing fountain donated to the city years ago
by a San Francisco physician. The foun-
tain, known as the Coggswell fountain. at
the corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, was offered to the city
early in 1882, by DR.. H. D. Coggswell. and
1t was accepted by authority of the act
of Congress of July 8. 1882 1t was set up
In the little reservation at the northeast
corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. 1t has not been In use for q long time
and It seemed almost entirely forgotten
when, a few days ago, the Commissioners
received petition to have 1t repaired 90
that the thirsty public. passing that way.
might use it.
There was some little doubt as to what
Department chief would accept the respon-
sibility for the drinking fountain but 1t
was finally placed under Superintendent
Mcfarland OF the water department, and
he had II thoroughly cleansed and put In
working order and the water was turned
on. There Is a provision In the original
act of Congress by which the Commission
ers may, in their discretion. furnish Ice for
cooling the water OF the fountain. but Il II
not believed likely that this service will be
provided at this time.

EFFECT OF DISASTER.
Superintendent brakes Recommends
ton Regarding Insurance.

A ASS6 NAAA6 A~@SNA eASc.
The great confiagration In San Francisco
Is having an effect even in Washington. In
addition to that in the general interest In
sending relief to the sufferers. Superin-
tendent Thomas e. Drake of the Insurance
department has recommended to the Com
missioners that all iessees OF wharf prop
erty owned by the United States In the
District on which insurance is carried In
certain enumerated companies be required
to reinsure In some company that Is not
seriously involved in the San Francisco
fire.
Mr.. Drake furnishes a statement cover
ing eighteen insurance companies In which
1t is shown that the companies united sur
plus and capital is sl4. 65s. 1877 less than the
amount at risk in San Francisco. Eight OF
the eighteen are foreign companies. and OF
these all but one have an excess of risks
over the funds held by them in this coun
try. Half of the United States companies
are involved for less than their surplus
and capital. In ali the insurance in the
eighteen companies In San Francisco totals
s4s,s12.oOo. and twelve Of them are In
yolved for s23. 626.413 more than their cap
ital and cash surplus. The insurance car
ried in these companies on United States
wharf property In the District OF Columbia
is placed at $4,000
Mr.. Drake states that the amount OF in
surance that each company has at risk In
San Francisco, as of December 81 last,
is ascertained by multiplying by eighty the
amount of net premiums that were coll
lected by the companies there during 1905.
He says that the given ratio of premiums
to the amount of insurance at risk Is
taken by insurance men TO be approx
mately correct. He regards the financial
statement as being of great Significance.
because IT shows that If a number OF the
companies named have lost q large per-
centage of the amount they have at risk
they will be insolvent.

CALLS IT A FARCE
Harry Hammond of Canton Appears
at Toledo to Have Bail
Bond Fixed.

The Toledo News-Bee says:
Harry Hammond. who is alleged
to have done most of the bridge work
in Lucas county, and who was in
dicted by the special grand jury on
Monday, appeared Tuesday morning
and asked to have his bail bond fixed.
Judge Morris fixed the bond at $3.50,
which was given at once.
"Mr. Hammond declined to discuss
the action of the grand jury, but in
timated that it was all farce"
The Press says:
Harry G. Hammond, of the Canton
Bridge company. was the only other
indicted man to give bond up to noon
today Mr.. Hammond came to the
court house with Willard F. Robson,
who signed his bond Mr.. Hammond
says that the only reason an indict-
ment was returned against him was
that an untrue, big, glaring head line
in a sensational newspaper to the eff
feet that he had given himself up in
Sandusky, was handed to the jury, and
that the true bill was then returned
against him on general principles, be-
cause he was with the bridge com
pany."

HERR|CK'S MEN ARE
SOON TO LOSE
THEIR JOBS

Columbus. O., March 21.-Every in
stitution in Ohio will be reorganized.
The resignation of al! the trustees
will be demanded.
Governor Pattison is displeased with
the action Of Senator Lamb, the Tole-
do Independent, whose support of 81
out of the 68 vacation appointments
of Ex-Governor Herricll, Tuesday af-
ternoon, has left every institution in
Ohio, with the exception of the penl-
tentiary and the Wooster agricultural
experiment station, in the hands OF
the Republicans.
The governor holds that Lambs
attitude defeats the will of the people,
as recorded at the last November cleo
ton, in a demand for a change in
administration of the states affairs.
He will appoint successors who will
change the political complexion of
what have been termed the most po-
tent Republican machines in Ohio.

MAN FINDS A RELIC OF
UNDERGROUND ROAD

Salem. o., March 21.-Chas. Meeks,
railroad engineer, of this city, has
discovered on his farm large stone
concealing an underground room in
his cellar. BY inquiry he learned that
the house in slavery days was a sta
tion ON the underground railroad
end that this sdbterranean room had
been utilized many times for the hid
ing of runaway slaves.
Twenty-Five or 80 persons could be
concealed there comfortably. Salem
on account of the Quaker element
here, was among the foremost of the
abolition centers, and many of the
older houses in the vicinity were
known far and wide as underground
railroad stations.

Europe. All the bankers had with
them the records of their payments
to the various county treasurers and
the grand jury wanted Cox in order
to find out what the head and front
of the whole system" had to say fo1
himself.
Cox was before the grand jury foI
40 minutes. He entered the room
smiling and when he emerged de
clined to make any statement regard
ing his testimony. He was closely
questioned about the fee gratis.

BAILEY IS CALLED
FROM DEBATE BY
DEATH NEWS

Washington. March 21.-The debate
upon the railroad rate question was
interrupted in the senate this after
noon by the intelligence, privately
conveyed to Mr.. Bailey, of Texas,
who had the floor, that his father had
died at his home in the south. There
was stir Immediately in the vicinity
of the senator who left the chamber
at once. After a pause, Mr.. Tillman,
who occupied the adjoining seat,
gravely informed the vice president or
the reason for the Texas senator
yielding the floor and retiring with
out a word of explanation.
The event followed an interesting
episode. in which the Texas senator
had expressed regret that Mr.. Dolliver
had, of course, unwittingly, publicly
discussed the provisions of an amend
ment which Mr.. Bailey had prepared
TO the rate bill, but which he had
handed Mr. Dolliver in confidence for
his perusal.
BAILEY'S PLAN.
The Iowan earnestly disclaimed any
intention of violating confidence and
explained that inasmuCh as the Bailey
amendment had been discussed in pub
lie prints and in senate debates he had
seen no impropriety in expressing his
belief of it's unsoundness. The Texas
senator, in his amendment, provides
for a rate that would give a just
A..
regulation of practice that should be
just and reasonable; limit the car
rier to the rate and proceeding and
prescribed that an appeal from the
decision of the commission may be
had of the bill in any circuit court,
through which any part of the car
riers' road passed, upon the ground
that the rate was not justly compensa-
tory or that the regulation was not
just and reasonable. 1t permitted the
finding to be set aside but prohibited
interference to it by preliminary or
interloCWory decree. He further pro-
vided that such cases should have pre-
Cedence over all others not of SIM
liar kind in circuit or supreme court.
Mr., Dolliver declared that it was
impossible for any maker of rates to
determine in advance whether a CIV
en- rate was reasonably compensatory.
"There is a proposition lowering here
that cannot be defended" he exclaim-
ed THAT proposition is to create a
great commission with a large body
of able men and them have all the
problem before the commission TAX
en- to the United States circuit courts
for readjustment"
Mr.. Bailey didn't agree that 1t was
impossible for a commission to ar
rive at just, reasonable and remunera-
tive rates.
KNOX AND THE PUBLIC.
Mr.. Knox, of Pennsylvania, charged
that public misConception of the true
situation in the senate did injustice
to many who were striving to enact
legislation in the interests of the peo-
pie.
THE real issue here is between
the house bill, which gives unre-
stricted jurisdiction to the courts, and
oHlCHuIuGulo llhe my OWN anu MI
Baileys which provide only for the
restricted jurisdictions of the courts"
he declared.
Mr. Bailey fully agreed with this
view. He did not see why the com
mission, if it intended to act fairly
by the railroads should refuse an ap-
peal under limitations
