PLEASED WITH CHANGE.
Commissioners Indorse New Name
Given to 10th Street.

The proposed change of the name of 18th
street to washington avenue suits the
District Commissioners, although the mat
ter was not referred to them for an OFF,
cial opinion. Commissioner Biddle is par
ticularly pleased with the proposed change
He was advocating the change to "Execu-
tive avenue last year. but the bill failed
of passage, and when asked today about
the new name he said any name will do as
long as it has avenue" attached to 1t. He
stated that 10th street is trifle out of the
ordinary run Of streets. in many respects.
especially In its width, and for the latter
reason alone 1t should be called an avenue
Commissioner Mcfarland. although not
anxious to discuss the proposed change,
ventured the remark that avenue of the
Presidents would not have sounded bad.
Commissioner West said he had no sugges-
ton to make; any old name suited him as
long as the direction Of the thoroughfare
toward the golf courses in the northwestern
section of the city is not changed.
The question of remaining 10th street is
being given considerable consideration by
the members of the Woman's Sixteenth
Street Improvement Association. At re-
cent meeting held by them it was agreed
had some bearing upon the United States,
the President or the White House.
Many names have been suggested. in

HAS BEEN ANNOYED
SECRETARY OF WAR EMBAR-
RAISED BY PUBLICATION.

The Secretary of War has been much
embarrassed by the publication in the an
nual report Of Gen. Alnsworth. military
secretary. of an extract from a report made
by Capt. Henry H. Whitney, 14th Company
Coast Artillery. in regard to part of the
National Guard Of Pennsylvania. Various
labor organizations In the keystone state
are up in arms over the statement officially
published that certain semi-military organi-
cations In Pennsylvania are violently op-
posed to the National Guard Representa-
tives OF these organizations have protested
to the President and the Secretary Of War
against the publication. and have asked
that it be expunged from the official rec
ords Of the War Department.
Capt Whitney's Statement.
The statement made by Capt. Whitney
to which particular exception Is taken is as
follows:
1.-The eth Infantry and the 18th Infantry,
located In the very home Of unionism. are
confronted by the intense antagoniSm OF
mine labor organizations. as well as OF In
dependent military and so-calied patriotic
organizations. there now being some thirty
seven OF these companies in the Scranton
Wilkcsbarre district. I am informed that
these companies are wearing a uniform like
that of the regular army; that they are
gradually and quietly acquiring arms. and
that their active hostility to the national
guard constitutes a serious menace to state
authority and to law and order"
Capt. Whttneys report was undoubtedly
intended as confidential and made solely for
the benefit OF the military authorities. and
II is now fully realized that a serious mis-
take was made in giving it publicity and ap-
parent sanction In an official document in
tended for general distribution to the pub
lie. Who selected the matter for publication
in the military secretarys report is not
known, and ii Is now q matter of regret
that the various reports were not more carr
fully edited. No particular fault is found
with Capt. Whitney, as he simply expressed
his own views in a matter submitted to him
and he had nothing whatever to do with
their publication. Capt Whitney was on the
staff of Lieut.. Gen. Miles when the latter
had command Of the army and Is very well
known in this city.
1t is understood that Gen. Ainsworth mill
tary secretary. has been called upon for
report in the matter

ing the Gaelic, which he spoke huently.
Brother Benedict was the author Of several
text books used by the Christian Brothers
in their classes. During the forty years
of his professional work he showed him
self to be an able. enthusiastic and emil
nentiy successful teacher.

The most important game Of the season in the
Amateur Hockey League will be played on

When these two sevens met few weeks ago
the ST. Nicholas men, after a hard fought bat
tie, came out victorious by the close score Of
3 goals to 2 but the followers OF the BROOKLYN
team confident the tables viii be turned on
Thursday, and that the champions will win.
They base their confidence on the improved
form Of their favorites and on the marked fall
ing off Of their conQuerOrs of a few weeks ago.
The St. Nicholas men, however, may have been
reserVing their strength for this particular con-
test and may again spring a surprise on the
champions The winner will certainly have to
all the tactics known to the game in order
to win. the teams are evenly matched al
though their methods Of play are entirely differ
ont; the St Nicholas men, slow, deliberate and
cool. are clever shots; the Crescents, brilliant
dashing and wonderfully quick, do not shoot as
well goal.
The Crescents had a hard task defeating the
New York Athletic Club last Thursday night
and they had to play all the hockey they knew
to win. The New Workers have at last deyel-
oped a good combination, which would now he
