The Investigations.

speclsi Dispatch to the Ale1 andra Gazette
Richmond, Va, Feb. S.-The House
committee on courts of justice this
morning reported that it is inexpedient
to hear the charges against Circuit Judge
Blackstone at this session, and recon-
mend q special session of the legislature.
II is entirely probable that the majority
of the Rhes investigating committee will
recommend confirmation of Judge Rhea
10 spite Of the evidence, but tits probs-
bic also that there will be minority re-
port against confirmation. The public
generally anticipates wbitewssh by
The legislature.

A GOOD idea of the change in public
sentiment regarding the 2-cent fare la"
may be got from the action Of the Kan
sss special session. The lower house
last year passed a 2-cent bill, but 1t was
beaten 10 the Senate. This year the
Senate, apparently to exculPste itself
from blame, passed 2-cent bill and
sent it to the assembly, where the COM
mittee on railroads killed it by vote OF
1901. The committee handed down q
report in which it said:
On account Of the conditions now
lrevsiliug aud The straits that have come
10 large borrowers like the railroads,
this bill, while adding nothing to the
good of the people or to the State, would
be 10 effect an injury 10 the credit and
finances OF the railroads. These rail-
roads are large interests, and the en-
ployes of these roads, whose wages are
threatened, should be considered, and,
"a no good would be accomplished, we
believe they should not be subject to the
loss which such impairment of financial
standing might brig.

Never In the history Of the womaD's

pared to that OF women workers thrown

THE BIG Government Printing Office

The BIG Government Printing Otice
"a al present in the limelight, and while
not called upon to give an opinion on
the alleged conditions in that institu-
ton. it may be observed that some
charges are urged which call for close
Investigation. Il is said that the audit
system. which is the corporate name OF
ths eosf.sseertaiaing method which was
installed more than year ago, has cost
the government $4,000 for the privi-
lsgs of calculating the cost Of govern
ment printing and binding. 1t is also
ALLEGED that it has cost the government
$50 10 turn out job which commercial
houses would do for $l5; also that 40
cents pound has been paid for quaDti-
ties of inks worth less than 20 cents 8
pound. The Philadelphia Record, In
commenting upon the allegations, says
tsat the methods OF government print
Ing offices have not changed much since
Jsmes Russell Lowell wrote in 1.-THE
Pious Editors Creed:"
And withered he the nose tibet pokes
Inter the Guv'msnt printin'.
The Government Printing Office In
Washington ia an enormously expensive
establishment, because Congress fixes the
rates of pay and the hours of labor in
accordance with the demands OF the en-
ployes and their associates in the trades
unions aud because the Office is filled up
with the retainers and henchmen of Con-
Oressmen. The Office is run with strict
regard for politics and only incidental
consideration for business. Many years
ago it was charged that enormous guam
titles of type of an inferior make were
purchased for the Government Printing
Office. The material wac, Of course, M
satisfactory, but it subsequently devei
oped that it had been procured from 9
certain foundry upon the recommends
ton Of man who at that time vas ont
of the leaders of the political party II

Type Of Architecture Is Unique.
The type Of architecture in these build
ings is unique, as it is devoted to spe-
cial purposes which do not call for sim
liar buildings elsewhere.
Washington has thus given attention
and development 10 the idea Of beauty
TO an extent reached by no other Ameri-
can city. It's value is recognized by all
who seek our parks and shaded streets.
and the tendency is to add to the num-
Der Of parks and increase the cost OF
their maintenance rather than to settle
back upon the notion that the Capital is
we'll enough equipped with public spaces.
If the plans OF the park commission are
never fully carried out. It is almost GER
tain that It viii be Appropriated as the
city grows older and the appropriations
made for the purpose make It possible
TO acquire more land and improve it as
part of the park system.

CLUB BUYS DODGE TRACT
Chevy Chase Organization Secures
Permanent Golf Course.
Area of About sixty Acres WIZ
Brins $4,000, Property Being
Available for Building.

Preliminary action has been taken by
the board Of governors Of the Chevy
Chase Club TO purchase that portion OF
the Dodge tract which the club has leased
for several years for its golf course. Tbs
tract lies between the clubhouse and Wis
eonsin avenue. and is valuable property
aside from its use as a golf course. In
deed the increasing value OF the property
for building purposes. has already made
its holding under lease insecure, and the
club was practically face TO face with the
problem OF buying the property or running
a chance to lose its golf course.
Tho tract 10 he purchased contains
about sixty acres. and the purchase price
is understood TO be $4,000. It Is under
stood that a portion OF the cost price will
be pain in cash and the remainder secured
by a mortgage upon the property The
tract. however. Is OF such a form that a
portion OF 1t fronting upon the Tennally-
town road and another portion along
Bradley lane could be subdivided and sold
for summer homes. and still leave enough
ground in the central part of the tract for
the golf course.
