A Pet,

Bears, unless hungry or abused, are
good-natured animals, and make anus
ing pets. when l was in the revenue
service at Alaska" said lieutenant,
I'VE had pet bear on the boat, and
we called him Wineska He used to
climb to the cross-trees, going up hand
over hand by the ratlines. One day he
ventured out on the yard-arm, and
there he stayed. We had to get rope
and haul him down Once he vaulted
over the head of our Chinese cook
and went into the lockers, where he
helped himself to sugar and butter.
We had tackling made for him,
much the same as a harness of pet
pug, ana we would drop him over
board, with a rope attached, to take
his bath. Once he landed in a native
boat and nearly frightened the occu-
pants out of their wits. He was as
playful as a kitten and, althouh he
sometimes disobeyed, he was never
treacherous or unkind. When he was
lost, or hid himself, as he often did,
we would look in the dark till we saw
two little balls of fire. These were
his tyes and gave him away every
time"

Washington's Needs.
To the Editor Of The Star:

Your editorial printed October con-
corning the District government was ad-
mirable. and the more one studies it the
more sensible 1t appears. No. we want
no one-man power at the head of the
District office, unless elected by the tax
payers of the District. Mind you, 1 en-
phasize taxpayers. and would make the
necessary property qualification a low
one.
There is a not too remote danger that
one man appointed by the President might
be swayed by some mysterious influence
which would turn principal attention to
few sections of the town to the COM
parative neglect of others-others which.
In all probability, might most need proper
encouragement.
Washington should everywhere be the
model city of the republic. The states
are the body of the nation-strons. vigor-
Gus. ambitious. and not only rich in men
tai and physical proves. but also finan-
cially rich: neither is this great athletic
body of the twentieth century far behind
in the refinementS. The capital city Is

fleet it's culture / venture to say that
at present Washington does not property

emphatic arrests would stop the present
absolutely careless throwing or paper

positive rules would clear out the chief
objections to slums-dilapidated fences
and storage OF rubbish in public view.
I have taken some pains to investigate
and find that slum property is chiefly
owned by the rich. who declare it is the
best paying property they own-returnine

Gives Judgment Against District.

Court of the District of Columbia, on mo-
ton OF james b. Archer. jr. and John
Lewis Smith. attorneys for the National
Capital investment Company, RENDERED
judgment against the District of Column
bia FOR sJ5.l4 for rent of the building
formerly used by the District government.
According TO the papers, the Commission
ers had deducted the sum mentioned from
the amount appropriated by Congress to
pay for the rent of the building. and used
IL TO make certain internal improvements
although the lease provided that such
improvements We're to be made at the eN-
penSe of the District The Comm ssion-
ers. in defense, admitted that the District
was bound under the lease to make such
internal repairs and improvements but
claimed that IL had no other fund from
which to pay for the improvements

ON THE FREE LIST"
United States Government Not to
Paw District Auto License.

The United States government is on the
free list in Washington and therefore
should not be required to be licensed and
pay the customary fee TO operate motor
vehicles, is the opinion furnished the
Commissioners today by Corporation
Counsel Thomas.
The opinion was asked several DAYS ago
when the question arose as to the legality
of the Interior Department and the Capt.
toll buildings and grounds office operat-
ing automobiles not licensed. The auto
mobile board of the District wanted to
know If 1t had authority to demand the
81 license fee for each machine operated
by the departments in question, or wheth-
er 1t should furnish identification tags
without cost.
Il have the honor to advise" the cor
poration counsel says, that no issue be
taken on the right of the Commissioners
to require an official Of the United States
as owner OF motor vehicle to pay the
sum OF 81. | am of the opinion that the
word owner used in the automobile
regulation. does not include the United
States. l therefore advise the cancella-
ton OF the bills against the departments
mentioned"
