GARFIELD HOSPITAL WINS
INSTITUTION HAS LAUGH ON
DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS.
Secures Relief From Congress as to
Payment of Assessment After
Losing in Courts.

The old adage, He who laughs last
laughs best" has been proved again by a
provision in the sundry civil bill passed
in the closing hours of the last session OF
Congress 1t was the District that
laughed first. Garfield Hospital is laugh
ing last.
The matter has to do with s6. 700 which
the District thought Garfield Hospital
which under the provisions of the act, 1t
will not have to pay. Such is the termi-
nation of the issue after the legal au-
taorities of the District had fought the
case through the courts to the accom-
panment of long hours of labor and won
a victory.
Several years ago 18th street was eX-
tended past the Garfield Hospital prop
erty and an assessment of several thou
sand dollars for benefits was made
against that institution. The hospital au-
thorties did not want to pay the tax and
the case was carried into the courts.
Corporation Counsel Thomas argued in
behalf of the District. and the Supreme
Court of the District decided that the
assessment was legal.
Action by Appellate Court.
The litigation was then carried to the
Court of Appeals, which affirmed the
judgment of the lower tribunal. The next
move by the hospital was to take the
case to the United States Supreme Court.
Then Congress stepped in and relieved
the hospital of the assessment by the fol-
lowing provision in the sundry civil bill:
The damages assessed against Garfield
Memorial Hospital for 700 for benefits
by the verdict of the jury of June 6, 1906.
and confirmed by the Supreme Court of
the District in the case in that court Of

relieved from all obligation to pay the
same in whole or in part
In accordance with this statement the
District Commissioners have instructed
Corporation Counsel Thomas to agree to
the withdrawal of the case pending In the

graph lines.

AUTOMOBILE PATROL WAGON.
Horseless Vehicle Will Be Assigned
to the First Precinct.

Maj Sylvester is considering the ques-
ton of securing an automobile patrol
wagon for the use of the department
Congress having made provision in the
appropriation bill for the purchase Of
such a vehicle. The superintendent of
police asked for an appropriation for the
purchase of two motor vehicles-one for
the first and one for the sixth precinct
but when the bill passed 1t contained pro-
vision for only one.
In making the request for the appropria-
ton Maj Sylvester said:
''The matter has been inquired into, and
it has been learned that these wagons
can be maintained and operated at less
expense than the horses and wagons as
now used. In furtherance of this argu-
ment the department will provide a de-
tailed report to the Commissioners. Should
the allowance be made 1t would reduce
the contingent estimate by $1,000
1t is the intention of the chief of police
to have the new wagon in operation as
soon after the beginning of the fiscal
year as possible. and it will be used in
the first precinct and possibly in the
business section Of No. precinct.

BROWN IS ANXIOUS TO RETURN
PRESIDENT OF DEFUNCT BANK
SAYS He Is INNOCENT.
Declares He Had Nothing to Dc
With Failure of Institution
in California.

Harry II. Brown. president of the de-
funct Calistoga Bank. at Calistoga. Napa
county, Cal, arrested at the New Will
lard by Detectives Baur and Cornwell
yesterday afternoon. is anxious to return
to California rather than remain here
in custody until the arrival of requisition
papers. After his name had been record
ed at police headquarters yesterday aft
ernoon he was taken to the first precinct
station and given comfortable quarters in
a witness room, policeman being de-
tailed to guard him.
Before being locked up the prisoner was
permitted to send a dispatch to his at
torney. He requested the attorney to do
what he could to have a Washington
officer start with him for California with
out delay. He fears he will be unable
to give bond here and will have to re-
main in custody until the arrival Of pa
pers unless a local officer goes west with
him.
Expects Prompt Acquittal.
Brown. it is stated, is we'll connected
both in the east and west. 1t Is said
that he came here expecting an appoint
ment under the new administration. He
says he is satisfied he will be acquitted
on his return to Calistoga.
Il did not handle the funds of the
bank" he declared Il was president
of the institution in name only. and was
not in Calistoga many months in the
year
Brown tells an interesting story of the
conditions which led to the closing of the
bank. 1t was brought about. he asserted,
wholly because of the prohibition wave
which has been sweeping over the coun-
try during the last three years. Calistoga
is in the grape-growing and wine-produc-
ing section, and nearly every depositor in
the bank was interested in these indus
tries. Because of the temperance wave,
ne SAID, wine merchants were unable to
dispose of their stock and the grape grow
ers faced a decided slump in prices.
Temperance Wave Responsible.
Grapes that had brought as much as $50
ton, Brown said. were to be had for $6
and even then it was not an easy matter
to get rid Of them. Growers had borrowed
money on their crops. and when the slump
In prices came they were not in a posi-
tion TO meet their obligations. 1t became
case of all going out and none coming
in and the bank had to close its doors
So far as he was advised he said, there
was shortage of something like $4,000
of which he paid $4,000, leaving only
about $1,000 shortage
The prisoner says he is at loss to un-
derstand how the grand jury could have
indicted him. and why he has been shad-
owed by "a private detective. He did not
run away from Calistoga, he said. and
would have returned had he known he
ing out of the banks failure. The bank
failed in May and he was there as late as
August.

Preach Gospel of Self-Help.

For two years the colored women have
been preaching the gospel of self-help.
and they have made their preaching prac-
teal by paying for the six acres of land.
The institution must open next fall. and
the promoters realize that the present
ten-room building on the property is too
small to accommodate those who have
declared their intention to come here to
take training. The corresponding secre-
tary in discussing the matter recently
said:
THE trouble with most of our women
and girls who work in the homes of
others or who try TO make homes for
themselves is that they have never been
thoroughly trained to fill either position.

is full of makeshifts, and people are
growing less patient with them every day.
We need to get hold of not only the
girls. but the women who are already at
work. and prepare them TO give better
service Most of the industrial schools
are for girls and not for women. and
most of these girls take courses in do
meStic science as a side issue. They
have no special love for that profession.
Training in Domestic Science.
"In the training school we are going
to make training in domestic science and
domestic arts the main issue. and we in
tend to prepare women as housekeepers.
We are also going to prepare nurses
pharmacists. physicians and lawyers. All
this work will not be undertaken at the
beginning, but our charter will provide
for it. Further, there is a great need for
proficient stenographers and typewriters
Special attention will be given To this
work from the very start.
with the hundreds of graduates from
our commercial schools each year pro-
icient colored stenographers are still
very scarce. We are going to turn out
some stenographers and typewriters who
can make a good living out of what we
give them. In the Christian workers
course we will train women as mission
aries in the home and foreign field and
in Sunday school, social settlement and
slum work.
