COMPLAINT OF BoARDERs.
Do Not Get Enough to Eat at Canal
Commission Hotels.


Mr.. J. H. Wallace, supervisor of excava-
lions on the Panama canal, has arrived
here from Panama in order to see members
of the canal commission and, If possible,
the President.
1t was Mr.. Wallace who gave informa ton
to Representative H. T. Rainey Of Illinois
concerning the bad character of meat that
is fed to canal employees.
1.-THE difficulty" said Mr.. Wallace to-
day, Gin obtaining any satisfactory inspec-
ton of conditions on the isthmus by a
congressional committee is in the fact
that such committees are carefully guarded
by the officials so that they see and hear
only just what those officials wish them to
see and hear. They are not permitted to
talk freely with men who might tell them
things that would reflect upon the man
agement of the canal. There are times
when q man who is watchful may get to
such people, but those opportunities are
few"
Mr.. Wallace says men are employed at
Panama in responsible positions, and over
experienced men, although they are with
out practical knowledge. He will today
Of the canal commission. He says he will
not only show Encouragement of the
canal, but also very unsatisfactory condi-
lions in the manner in which the canal
commissions hotels are conducted.
Mr.. Wallace declares that boarders at
these hotels are not permitted to have a
second order of any article of food, and
walters will be discharged for bringing q
second supply II the boarder does not

granting the steamer her annual permit to
carry excursion passengers on the Potomac
river and on Chesapeake bay and it's trib-
utaries. The inspectors yesterday went into
the boilers of the steamer and made the
usual cold-water pressure tests on them,
examined the life-savng and fire-fighting
equipment. and found the big steamer in
good order. The inspectors yesterday aft
ernoon and today were employed In exam
lining and marking the 1900 life preservers
aboard the boat. and on that work mich time
was spent as each life preserver was handled
by the inspectors before 1t was passed, and
If any defect was found in 1t It was thrown
aside and marked condemned"
Under the orders of the Department of
Commerce and Labor the inspection of all
excursion steamers is to be searching, and
the inspectors required everything aboard
the st. Johns to be up to the standard be-
fore it was allowed to pass.
The inspectors will this afternoon go
aboard the steamer Queen Anne, and will
inspect her before she goes to Newport

CHURCH REMODELED
SUCCESS OF A FORMER LOCAL
PASTOR AT FRosTBURa, MD.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

FROSTBURG, Md, April 5, 1907.
The Methodist Episcopal Church of Frost
burg, Md, has recently undergone changes
that make it one of the most beautiful and
attractive churches in this section Of the
country. The entire interior has been re-
modelled and prettily adorned. The fres-
Going was put on by Otto M. Du Brau Of
Baltimore Md. Under his trained hand
the decorations were made to harmonic
with the Gothic of the building in an arts-
tic manner. The shading and the coloring
have also been splendidly DONE
The church has also been embellished
with stainedglass windows, given by rela-
tives In honor Of deceased members. A
rich carpet has been laid, new electric
chandeliers set up and the heating plant
greatly improved. Changes have also been
made In the altar in order to receive the
new $500 pipe organ. The aggregate cost
Of the improvements will be $1,000. A re-
opening service was held last Sunday.
President Reed of Dickinson College
preached to a large audience.
Rev. A. H. Thompson is pastor Of the
church. and it Is chiefly due to his diligent
efforts and personal popularity that the
pastorate has been placed in such an I'M
usually prosperous condition. Mr. Thomps-
son was formerly pastor of a church at
Kensington, Md, and Of the Wilson Me-
mortal M. q. Church Of Washington.

COL. BIDDLE APPROVES.
Suggestion That Park System Should
Be Controlled bv One Body.


In a paper read before the National So
ciety OF the Fine Arts at Hubbard Memorial
Hall Wednesday night upon preserving Rock
Creek valley for parking purposes, and re-
viewing the plans of the park commission
Mr.. Charles Moore stated that in order to
properly develop the park system in any
city it would be better to have all park mat
tiers under the control of one body of men.
This suggestion is heartily approved by
Col Biddle, Engineer Commissioner of the
District and a member Of the park COM
mission. He states that there cannot be
any question that this is the best way.
Il believe he said, 1.-The failure to secure
in the last session of Congress, and in pre-
vious Congresses, additional areas for park
development was due largely to the lack of
some general control of the various interests
seeking parks In different localities IT,
therefore, a single body was charged with
the matter Of securing and controlling
parks the recommendations of this body
would doubtless have much greater weight
IAN ideal arrangement" he continued,
would probably be to have some board
representing Congress, the executive de-
partments and the District of Columbia, to
whom funds will be given for the purchase
of new land and the development of exist
ing parks, according to some defined system
and in such a way as to be most advan-
tageous and economical"

Old Pier Gives Way.

A portion of the old pier Of the Home Ice
Company. at the foot Of 18h street, which
has been used for several weeks past as a
landing place for sand and gravel from
the scows Of the Potomac Dredging Com
pany. gave way Thursday under the weight
of about 400 yards of gravel that was
stored upon 1t, preparatory to being hauled
away for use In building work in various
portions of the city. Some little of the
gravel. 1t Is stated. went into the river,
but the bulk of the material was left on the
pier and can be saved. The gravel weighed
several hundred tons, and the pressure
caused the under part Of the wharf to give
way, allowing the platform to drop. Re-
pairs will be made at once, and the pier
will be put in good order for service again
