In order to permit compliance with the
provisions of the act Of Congress au-
thorizing the Capital Traction Company
to extend its lines from It'll street and
Florida avenue to the Union station. 1t
has been found necessary to reduce the
area Of the public reservation at the in
tersection of Florida avenue and T street
between 9th and 7th streets. To carry
out the law It will be necessary for the
railway company to construct a loop
around the square adjoining. the reserva-
ton.
In connection with that work the Dis
trict Commissioners, in sorder to get ad-
ditiOnal roadway surface at that point
will move in the present curb line and
construct new sidewalk. to do which 1t
will be necessary to encroach thirteen feet
on the east end Of the reservation.
At the request of the District Commits
sioners Gen. Marshall, chief Of engineers
Of the army. who has supervision of all
public reservations in the District has
transferred to them jurisdiction over that
portion Of the reservation required for the
purposes stated. The transfer is made
under the act of Congress giving the

thorized by the annual convention Of

raised. P. J. Haltigan. state deputy for

AS soon as four-fifths Of the subor-
dinate bodies vote favorably on the en-
dowment plan. he said, the national
officers will take steps to collect it.
Contributions made under such author
ization. Haltigan said, will amount to
so cents for each member, and the col
lection period will run for five years.
An important change in the orders
laws makes associate members eligible
to hold the Offices of grand knight and
deputy grand knight in the councils. 1t

rotary and treasurer must be insurance

1t possible for associate members to be
eligible as state deputy and district

Furnishes MOTnER-IN-LAW
BUT CHARLES WILSON Is AR
RESTED FOR IT.
In Court Yesterday Judge Kim
ball Adds Materially to the
Prisoners Troubles.

Because he assaulted his mother-in-law
who was exerting every effort in her
power to prevent him from being ar
rested for drunkenness. Charles F. Will
son. a painter living at 81 Virginia ave-
nue. southeast. was committed TO the
workhouse for four months in default of
$40 fine by Judge kimball in the Police
Court yesterday.
In addition to the charges filed yester-
day against Wilson his bondsman in a pre-
vious case notified the court that he de-
sired to have his obligation Cancelled.
and the prisoner was additionally COM
mitted to serve fourteen days. which will
run concurrently with the sentence first
OF today. The bond in the latter case was
for 500 due to a judgment OF guilty upon
the charge Of threats resulting from a
disagreement between Wilson and a Chi
nese laundryman living near his home.
Mrs. Emma Smith, his mother-in-law
testified In court that Wilson came to
her home in a badly intoxicated con-
dition Friday night and proceeded to
abuse every one in the house. He was
finally persuaded to leave. Upon entering
the street he became involved in a second
row with several pedestrians.
Wilson created such a disturbance on
the street that his mother-in-law went
to him for the purpose Of Quieting him
and to prevent his arrest for disorderly
conduct. He suddenly became Infatuated
at what he termed marital interference.
and dealt her number of singing blows
IN the face and on the body with his
fists.
The screams of Mrs. Smith attracted the
attention of Policeman Hayes of the fifth
precinct, who placed the defendant under
arrest. On the way to the station house
the officer had some difficulty in subduing
him. and only the threat that a heavy
policeman's club would be used on his
head made him submit quietly.
