18th Street Associations Plan.

To the Editor OF The Star:
AS the Interpretation you gave in Thurs
days Star was not quite correct concern
ing the new plan for our District gov
eminent. as Endorsed by the Sixteenth
Street Association, l am asking If you
will kindly print this explanation.
We all. Of course. would like at least
limited District suffrage. but as We find
that Congress will not consent to District
suffrage of any kind, there is no use
wasting time on that subject.
We therefore advocate the form of gov
eminent as adopted in our territories,
with one exception. namely, that instead
of legislature elected by the people we
have board Of councilmen with legisla-
tive power. to be appointed by the Presi-
dent, consisting Of say. seven members,
who are actual residents of seven differ
ent sections of the District: also four at
large, all to serve either without salary
or with a small one; also a governor, ap-
pointed from anywhere where the most
competent man can be found. he to serve
with reasonably high salary As III
the territories, all laws will be subject 10
the Endorsement of Congress.
This plan was casually suggested at
dinner by a member of Congress. who
added that it would save 4 busy Congress

FOR INCREASED PAY CORPS.
Paymaster General Rogers Report
Recommends LEGISLATION.

Paymaster General Rogers of the navy
calls attention in his annual report 10
the growing necessity for an increase IN
the Pay Corps. and renews the recon-
mendation for legislation for the benefit
of assistant paymasters. The recent
establishment of central accounting
office. the paymaster general predicts.
will make for economy in every bureau.
yard, station and office.
The bureau is collecting data showing
the capacities Of American coal mines
and the quality of the output. To that
end Il has invoked the cooperation of
the United States geological survey,
which inspected a total of 100 mines in
the Virginia fields from which the regu
lar coal suppliers have been furnishing
coal to the navy for steaming purposes.
so that the ownership and control Of
the various mines is fully known and re-
spoons ibility as to the quality of the coal

The bureau OF navigation. in which is
vested the control of coaling supply de-
pots and stations. expects to establish
depots for the storage of fuel oil for use
Of the new destroyers and battleships
fitted to burn oil. The paymaster gem
eral has completed arrangements for a
contract for fuel oil AT these and other
stations. that full supply can he on

BAGGAGE CAR FOR EARLY
WILL APPEAR BEFORE DR..
FLEXNER TOMORROW.
Trip Is Arranged-Likely to Return
if Given Bill of Health
by Expert.

Unless something happens to alter ar
ranged plans John r. Early will present
himself tomorrow afternoon before ST.
mon Flexner, head of the Rockefeller In
stitute of Medical Research. in New
York for examination.
1t is probable. however, that Early will
visit Dr. j. Duncan Bulkley of the Skin
and Cancer Hospital before going to see
Dr. F'lexner.
Judge Egbert c. Everest, counsel for
Early, was out early this morning seeking
to complete arrangements for the de-
parture OF his client. About noon he was
able to go to the quarantine station and
tell Early that all was ready for his bag
gage car trip.
Early realizes that much depends upon
the result of the examination to be made
by DIR. Flexner. This experts ability is
admitted by everybody concerned in the
case. He is at the head of one of the
most important institutions in the coun-
try.
Should the investigation made by Dr.
Flexner disclose the presence of the lep-
rosy. Early will probably remain in New
York for treatment If Early is given a
bill of health he will prabably return to
I'Washin gton and also visit his wife and
children, who are near Manchester. Va.

en- connected with the army requiring
hospital treatment or surgical operation.
There Is at present no accommodate ton
for female nurses. but it is proposed to
provide a building for that purpose.
Gen. Torney says it is desirable to
secure additional ground-about eighteen
acres--so as to make the plot owned by
the government an approximate rectan-
gle instead of an irregular rhomboid as
at present. He says that would give the
hospital an opening on the 14th street
extension and would secure the best and
highest ground In the District, besides
making it possible to avoid crowding the
buildings in the northeast corner of the
plot.
1t would also make it possible. he says,
to keep out of sight from the main
street the necessary administrative build
ings, such as stables. storehouse. power
house, etc. and allow space for a hospital
garden, dairy and laundry.

HITS RIDING TESTS.
Surgeon General Finds Fault With
Roosevelt Order.

Taking a square hit at the annual
Roosevelt physical tests for army Off
GERS, Surgeon General Torney, in his
annual report. made public today, says 1t
is believed that the present test not
only fails in the object it sought to
attain-"a physical condition which would
enable them to be always fit for active
field service''-but may result in serious
damage to elderly officers.
The defect of the requirement. as it
appears to Gen. TorneS, is that 1t requires
officers to be fit only once year. He
wants them to he fit all the time.
Gen. Torney would induce the field off,
