The thirty new views used to illustrate this rank work were shown splendidly. thanks to P. c. Gerson H. Moore of our sister lodge, Imperial-Juliet Mo- 6. who had charge of the steropticon Page J. E. Brown was proved in the armorial rank of esquire and when he got through with the goat we don't know which was the worse off for the wear and tear of the ride. (By the way, a bill for the amount of $1.35 for "goat feed' was presented to the lodge at this meet ing by P. C. Willie Brewer and upon investigation it developed that it was that straw hat that the animal had such a time about at our last meet ing It's in the minitz.') The third rank is on for next Monday night, in amplified form and we are going to show ten new views that have never been shown before in this city. The transfer card of Bro. J. R. Doyle of Dallas, No. 45, of Fordyce, was de- posted with this lodge. Bro. w. B. Goldsberry of Sam Houston No. 24, Paris, Texas. was a visitor, also Hayis Nixon, G. H. Moore and T. R.

MAKE AN ADVERSE REPORT
BILL AMENDING GRADE DAM
AGE ACT DISAPPRovED.
Commissioners Express Belief That
Such General or Specific Legisla-
ton Should Be Avoided.

An unfavorable report was made by the
Commissioners today to Chairman Smith
of the House District committee. upon H.
r. Bill 2O1S7, which provides for an
amendment to the act entitled IAN act
to provide for payment of damages on
account of changes of grade due to the
construction of the Union station. The
object of the Amendment is to authorize
the payment to property owners of dam
ages on account of grading operations on
10Th street northwest between Florida
avenue and Euclid street.
In making their adverse report upon
the bill the Commissioners stated that
they see no reason for applying the act
providing the payment of damages to
property on this street, and further, that
they do not believe that any such general
or specific legislation allowing damages
for changes in grade should be enac. ed
The Commissioners made it very en-
phatic that they do not believe there
should be any such general statutory au-
thority. They say If such authority ex-
listed ma2y improvements would De en-.
tirely pr6hibi;ive on account OF the cost
involved, few improvements being under
taken that 10 not involve either a cut or
fill in the street contiguous to private
property.
Street Being Improved.
Fifteenth street northwest between
Florida avenue and Euclid street is be-
ing improved with macadam pavement,
under a special appropriation, and this
improvement involves the establishment
of a grade on the street. said grade be-
ing indicated in the profile inclosed here
with The grade now being established
will leave contiguous property to some
extent either above or below the street.
but this street will be eventually bene-
flied by the grade adopted.
Fifteenth street has been n street but
little developed in this section. and I'M
desirable for Substantial residences by
reason of the heavy grade. The records
of the highway office do not show tina;

provement under way will render it much

Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretary Taft

just sent to congress. completely dis
pels any doubt that may exist as to
the secretary's position. The report
shows rapid decrease In the strength

that an increase in the pay OF the en-.

ton Based on other Than Govern
ment Bonds-Hansbroush Favors
Central Bank-House Proceedings.
Washington, Jan. S. Senator Aid
rich introduced his currency bill,
which has been a subject for discus
sion among the members OF the COM
mittee on finance for some days. He
had the bill read to the senate and an
nounced that the committee would be
glad to consider in connection with 1t
al bills that senators might desire to
introduce. He assured Senator Gull
berson that his resolution would re-
ceive attention.
The bill provides for an additional
issue of bank circulation which shall
at no time exceed $250,000,0 900 on
bonds and other securities than those
issued by the government, including
state and municipal bonds, In APP
proved cases. The comptroller OF the
currency is given discretion in the is
suance Of the proposed currency AMI
Is authorized to decide as to the time
and amount to be awarded to any
banking institution. 1t is provided
that the increased circulation shall in
no case exceed IS per cent of the
bonds deposited.
1t Is understood that all Republican
members of the committee are in IA
o of the measure. except Senator
Hansbrough, who believes that a cen
trail bank will best solve the Difficult
ties OF the country's currency situa
ton. He has himself introduced a bill
providing for a central bank at Chi
cago. and intends, it is believed, tc
uphold that idea with vigor.
Republican leaders in the senate as
a whole are hopeful Of the early pas
