Objections to Bill for Relief of House
of Detention Guards

The bill introduced by Representative
Pearre of Maryland several days ago pro-
viding for the relief of the six guards at
the house of detention and making them
regular policemen, to enjoy the rights.
privileges, immunities and compensation of
such, does not meet with the approval of
Commissioner West. who has supervision
of the metropolitan police department. This
bill was referred to the Commissioners
Monday for a report. The Commissioners
referred 1t to Major Sylvester. chief of
police. for his opinion, and he at once dis
approved 1t and recommended that the
Commissioners do likewise. Commissioner
West thereupon recommended that the
House District committee be informed that
the Commissioners are not prepared to
make favorable report upon this bill at
the present time. However his recon-
mendaton has not been approved by the
other two Commissioners.
Major Sylvester gives as his chief excuse
for opposing this legislation the fact that
1T would necessitate the guards of the
house of detention taking the required
physical examination of the regular police
man. and that it would give them the
same benefits of the police pension fund as
policemen who have been contributing for
years.

Our Trees and Our Typhoid.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Here is an incident worth telling relating
to our shade trees affecting house drainage
A householder after New Year found water
In his yard over the strainer which had al
ways drawn it off. Lye was put down the
drain and the water disappeared, but in a
few days the lower part of the house had
a close smell, finally suggestive of fevers,
which the servant said must come from
the drain being stopped. The plumber
came and reported 1T is from the roots of
the shade trees on the front curbstone.
which l have before cut Off, but they will
grow again and close your drainage, for
they are elms with wide-spreading roots,
and are planted only eighteen feet apart"

drain to the sewer and the stencil stopped.

mystery in our higher localities, may not

"oUR CoUNTRY's CAUSE"
Theme of Address by Rabbi Iimon at
Burnside Post Banquet.

With "Our Country's Cause" as his sub
ject. Rabbi Abram Simon made an address
at the annual banquet of Burnside Post,
No s. G. A. R.. in the Ebbitt House last
night in which he discussed at some length
the widespread corruption of the present
day among men in the higher walks of
life.
I'VE cannot pick up a newspaper to-
day. he said. without seeing the dis
closures telling us of corruption. The men
who are accused not the men of the
lower order. They are not the members
of the great middle class of society. The
men who are making such sorry Dur
lesdue of our much-boasted American
democracy are the men who belong to
the higher walks of life. They are highly
educated, they possess every opportunity.
THESE are the men whose corruption has
become a matter of public property
AS distinguished from this class of citi-
Zens, Rabbi Simon held up to greatest
praise the men who are honestly and ear
nestly striving to advance the interests of
the country. and deprecated the too preva-
lent tendency toward senseless criticism of
those in power.
There are thousands of persons in the
United States today who can do nothing
but criticise. he said. What we need
more than anything is a greater respect
for the White House. a greater veneration
for the Congress whose members We
elected and who represent US today. A
tion-that is one of the great needs of our
country
Other speakers at the banquet were
Rev. Dr. Schick. DR.. A. J. Huntoon, Gen.
Green b. Raum and Lucius D. Alden, COM
mander of Burnside Post.

George S. Wilson, secretary of the Dis
trict board of charities, has been notified
by L. F. Zinkhan, superintendent of the
Washington Asylum Hospital, that he de-
sires to have Mrs. Annie S. Mervant, a
pupil nurse at that institution, dismissed,
and that the same take effect as soon as
possible. The matter has been referred to
the Commissioners for action.
Mrs. Mervant entered the hospital service
more than month ago, and according to
Superintendent Zinkhan she has failed to
report for duty since December 1, which is
a direct violation of the rules of the insti-
tuition When asked for a more specific ex-
PLANTATION of the cause for dismissal Mr..
Zinkhan stated that he did not think Mrs.
Mervant possessed the qualifications which
go to make up successful trained nurse.

Setting a Good Example.

Considering the general use of Hun
sarian bitter waters, it is interesting to
note that the proprietors of the Apenta
water give assurance that the working of
the Apenta Springs, Budapest, Hungary,
at which it is bottled, is carried out under
the scientific and hygienic supervision of
DIR. Leo Won Liebermann. professor at the
Hygienic Institute of the Royal /Univer-
sity at Budapest. The analyses of Apenta
as published in the textbooks mineral
water springs, show that the sulphates of
soda and of magnesia, of which the latter
is predominant, are the chief constituents.
It is said that the Importation of this
water has grown very considerably in re-
cent years.

EXCURSIONS.

Without a side jt lrney to the historic
country of the Virginia tidewater very few
tourists to the capital esteem their visit
complete. Did Point Comfort, Portsmouth,
Jamestown, Yorktown and the site of the
great exposition are some of the many in
teresting points to be reached via Norfolk
on the superb Norfolk and Washington
steamers sailing daily from this city at
G:3O pm. Particularly commendable fea-
lures Of these vessels are their handsome
cabins, comfortable staterooms and fine
cafes. Their other appointments are mod
ern in every respect. Daily connections
are made at Norfolk with steamers for
New York and Boston and also railway
connections for the southern resorts and
other points
Too great emphasis cannot be placed upon
the comfort of travelling via the tourist
sleeping of the Washington Sunset

times week to the Pacific coast via trains
carrying these excursion sleeping cars and
also high-class Pullmans. Through berths
are obtainable at small price. This is
also the route of the high-class personally
conducted tours to Pacific coast points, the
first of which is scheduled to leave tomor-

MILK PRODUCERS MEET.
Discussion of Bill Regarding Distribu-
ton of Product.

Discussion OF Bill Regarding Dlstr1bu-
ton Of Product
A meeting of the Milk Producers Associa-
ton of Maryland, Virginia and the District
of Columbia was held yesterday afternoon
at SIG 9th street. The meeting was called
for the purpose of taking action regarding
the distribution of milk in the District, as
required by House bill No. 2167O.
The most important subject discussed was
the temperature of milk. BY the bill milk
dealers are required to keep the milk at a
temperature below 80 degrees from the time
of milking until the fluid is distributed to
the consumers in this city. Such, the pro-
ducers contend is impossible. They state
the milk shipped to this city, if cooled
just after milking, could not be kept SO until
it reached the city, as it is shipped in cans
placed in baggage cars and which are very
warm in the summer time and in the win
ter time almost all of them contain stove.
They contend that the railroads should be
required to use refrigerator cars for milk.
The next to receive consideration the
provision requiring producers to secure a
permit to sell milk in the District The
producers from the nearby states state that
during certain times of the year milk is
shipped into the District from Pennsylvania
and New York, such shippers not having
permits to do so. 1t is stated that the ship
pers in the north merely make appica-
ton for a permit and they are allowed to
ship milk until they are either granted a
permit refused one. and as it is very ex-
pensive for the District to send inspectors
to visit all of the farms in the northern
states from which the milk is produced, the
shippers continue to send in their milk re-
CARELESS of whether they are complying
with the regulations as to the sanitary con-
ditionS of their stables. This, the producers
claim, is unjust to them. and that either
the northern firms should be inspected or
else the shippers should not be allowed to
send milk into the District until they have
secured a permit.

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Adamowski Replaced by Heinrich
Warnke, First 'CelIi,t.

The third of this seasons series of con-
certs by the Boston Symphony Orchestra
took place at the National Theater yester-
day afternoon and was attended by the
usuaf large and appreciative audience. The
program was chiefly of modern music in
Guiding Cigars overture In the South, -
and G!azounoff's symphony in B fiat major,
No. 8, but there had also been announced
Saint-Saens' concerto in B minor, for violin,
No 3, OPP. 81, with Mr.. Timothee Adamowski
as the solost, and large number of people
no doubt went with the anticipation of hear
ing that excellent performer in a composition
which would have given him splendid
scope for all his skill. Mr.. Adamowsh
was. however not in the city, being sick in
Boston with the grippe" and so Heinrich
Warnke the first 'cellist of the orchestra,
volunteered to play concerto by Galter-
mann. which he did, proving to the audi
ence that he finished artist in the
handling of his instrument, bringing out
unexpected effects and showing it's extern
sive range. He held the attention of the
audience by his skillful playing and re-
ceived long and emphatic applause at its
conclusion SO that he responded to an
encore.
The work of the orchestra was of the
high standard of excellence that has been
observed for many years, and the new con-
ductor, DIR. Carl Muck, had his force abso-
lutely under control. The Elgar overture
was produced at Covent Garden in March,
1904, and is supposed to suggest the joy of
living in a balmy climate under sunny
skies, and while much is stirring and joy
Gus there is a note of sadness that seems
cold, but which is replaced later on, and
the ending is in harmony with the be-
ginning.
The Russian symphony was first pre-
sented in ST. Petersburg in 1895, and sprung
at once into public favor. The last move
ment is by far the most interesting, and
although this composition closed the pro-
gram the applause was loud and pro-
longed.
