ASSIGNED TO POLICE COURT
Sergeant Acton the Successor of
Michael Flynn, Deceased.

Sergeant joe Acton, the veteran police
man and dean of the bluecoats, has been
detailed to the Police Court, to take the
place of Mike. Flynn, who ed by his
own hand last week. This choice of Maj.
Sylvester has met the approval of all tine
police court officials and others. who know
of the efficiency and conscientiousness Of
Sergeant joe
In April of this year Sergt. Acton cele-
brates the completion of forty years of serv-
ice as policeman in the District of CO.
lumbia. In all that time he has lost very
few days on account of illness. has made
many important arrests and has done his
duty SO we'll that SO far as reprimands, his
record is absolutely clean.
In April 1867, Joseph Acton was appoint
ed to the police force, and two years after
that he was rewarded for faithful service by
being promoted to the rank Of sergeant.
AS sergeant he served the department for
eighteen years. Most of that time was
spent in the -irst precinct. where the hard
est of duty was called for. Several years
ago Sergt. Acton asked to be reduced to the
rank of private, and that was granted him.
Since that time he has served as plain
private around the Center market, where
the demands on policeman are probably
greater than they are anywhere else in the
CITY,
His new position is expected to give him
shorter hours and an easier task.

were necessary in order to keep the steamer

valves was quite a task, necessitatng the
taking apart of the pumps. in order to get
at them Under the direction of Machinist
Robinson some changes were made in the
interior arrangements Of the pumps that
overeame the trouble with the valves. After
the change was made several tests were
conducted and the valves were found all
right but it was not until the big fire the
latter part Of January, that destroyed the
lumber yards at the foot OF 18th street, that
the pumps of the Firefghter received a
thorough test under service conditions The
boat was run to its fullest capacity and was
in continuous service for about twenty-seyen
hours. A day or two ago Machinist Rob-
inson made an examination of the pumps
and the valves that formerly gave so much
trouble were found in perfect condition and

bringing about such a change.
Mr.. Jenkins Resolution.
When the present Congress assembled for
it's first session in December. 1905, Mr.. Jen-
kins of Wisconsin. chairman of the House
committee on judiciary. introduced a reso-
luton in the House providing follows:
That the following amendment to the
Constitution of the United States be pro-
posed for ratification by the legislatures of
the several states, which. when ratified ny
legislatures in three-fourths of the United
States. shall be valid as a part of the said
Constitution, namely:
That the Sixtieth Congress and the
term of Office of the President and vice
President shall continue until the last
Thursday of April. in the year 1909. at
noon; and the last Thursday of April, at
noon, shall thereafter be substituted for the
18th day of March as the commencement and
termination of Congress and of the terms OF
the President, Vice President senator, rep
resentatives and delegates in Congress ana
if the House of Representatives shall not
choose a President whenever the right or
choice shall devolve upon them. before the
last Thursday in April next following, then
the Vice President shall act as President,
as in the case of the death or other consh-
tutional disability of the President.
Sentiment Favoring Change.
That resolution was referred to the
committee on judiciary and hearing
was granted. at which the reasons for
the change in the date oe Inauguration
were fully set forth. The governors OF
forty-one states sent communications ia
yoring the change. 1t was pointed out
that the Indictment weather of the last
Inauguration had resulted in the death
of Senator Bate of Tennessee of Ambas-
sador AZpiroz of Justice Weldon of the
Court of Claims, and that for months
after Inauguration reports came in of
the death of citizens of the Union from
exposure on March 4. Scores of columns
of editorial extracts from papers all
over the country were sent to the COM
mittee urging favorable action.
A national committee was formed. with
Commissioner Macfarrand as chairman,
to promote the legislation. The national
committee held meeting in Washing
ton in November, in advance of the as
sembling of Congress, and recommended
that the last Thursday in April be the
date of the inauguration. instead or the
