On duty at the front entrance to the
Senate wing Of the Capitol Frank G
Jones is today celebI. .ting the thirty
fourth anniversary of his appointment as
a member of the Capitol police force
He is the dean of the policemen at the
Capitol. lie was appointed February 10
1876, and 50 far continuous service
goes, he has been in his position there
longer than any senator and longer than
any representative except One-fien. IL. IL.
Bingham, the father of the House.
During the strenuous Hayes-Tilden con-
test Mr. Jones was one of the guards
who kept vigil over the electoral vote
When President James 4. Garfield died
it was the lot Of officer Jones to lower
the flag over the Capitol as a symbol OF
mourning. and twenty years later, and
within six days of the same day of the
year, he performed similar service at
the death of President Mckinley. tie
was also one OF the guard that stood
around the bodies of Presidents Garfield
and Mckinley as they lay in state under
the Capitol dome.
For fifteen years Mr.. Jones was sta
toned at the main door OF the House
when that body was in session and he
became well acquainted with most OF the
members of the House during that period
Recently he has been stationed at the
main entrance to the Senate wing OF the
Capitol
Many members of Congress and numer-
Gus employees of the Capitol heard OF MIR
Jones anniversary today and extended
their congratulations, with hearty wishes
for many happy returns of the day.

DEMAND FOR FISH.
Supply in Local Markets Much Less
Than Usual at This Time.

The dealers in fresh fish here are be-
coming seriously uneasy as to where they
are to obtain stock TO meet the demands
for supplies for Lenten tables. The catch
of frshe fish has been very small this win
ter not only in the Potomac and other
places that supply the market here. but
all over the country the catch has fallen
away below the average. The Potomac
river steamers. instead of bringing a
dozen or two barrels of Potomac fish on
each trip to the dealers here, come into
port often with not a fish aboard. The
James river fisheries and those on the
Atlantic coast in tie vicinity OF Norfolk
are doing nothing. and the same can be
said OF the New Jersey coast fisheries,
from which Washington drew a large pro-
portion of its supply. To fill the short
age the big freezers at Brooklyn, Mana
guam. Long Branch and Holly Beach,
y. j.. Provincetown. Mass. and other
places have been drawn upon for a sup
ply Of frozen halibut. paddock, trout.
pollock and other varieties. but they are
now exhausted and unless there is a de-
cided increase In the catch the dealers
are looking for big shortage in the sup
ply In short time.

EAST AND WEST OUTLET.
New Street Wanted by Howard
Park Association.

The Howard Park Citizens Association
held a. meeting last evening at the Church
of Our Retieemer. on Sth street north
west, with the president, DR.. D. f. Wise
man, presiding.
Prof. Kelly Miller OF Howard University
made an address on the usefulness of
citizens associations. especially In " ash
ington. Prof Joseph, lately of the NJ
Street High School. spoke on the same
subject.
Among the reports by the chairmen
of the various committees was one pre-
sented by Andrew F. Hilyer, chairman
of the committee streets, lights, etc.
This committee is working on a project
to open up a r east and west outlet from
7th street to 2,n street between Florida
avenue and and Barry place and the
Hilyer report showed that the committee
has bill before the House committee
in Congress on that subject, accompanied
by numerous petitions signed by the
residents and property owners in that
locality He stated that there is now
no means of exit westward from eth
street or Georgia avenue for distance
of more than LOO feet between Florida
avenue and Grant avenue. now known
as Barry place.
Another matter was the report from the
executive committee through Fl. Z. Baker,
chairman, on the effort being made by
the association to restore to its former
use as a PUBIC park the southern hdlf
Of the square In which the new Freed
mems Hospital is located. A bill for that
purpose is also before the House COM
mittee and numerous petitions are being
circulated for the signatures of the resi-
dents of that locality.
A motion to indorse Senate bill 4O4,
regulating Sunday observance in the Dis
trict of Columbia, provoked a spirited dis
cussfon. but the motion prevailed the as
ISOLATION voting in favor of the bill, with
an instruction to the secretary to COM
municate its vote to the House commit
tee with which the bill is now lodged
Mr.. Hilyer's committee further re-
ported that the proper District authorities
had promised to give immediate attention
Ia the request of the association for a
new granolithic sidewalk on the west
side of Georgia avenue from Barry place
10 Fairmont street. and that the cost
Of such work will be included In the
next District estimates.
The association by unanimous vote
adopted a resolution submitted by Mr.
Baker to the effect that II was in
entire accord with the project to include
women In the membership of the cI.izens'
associations of the District, inasmuch as
in its own organization women were
among the most active and valued
charter members.

Speakership.

Every once in so often Speaker Cannon
gets up on the floor of the House, just
as any ordinary member might do. and
makes a speech Yesterday was one Of
the times.
The river and harDor bill was under
discussion. Mr.. Cannon got to his feet
apparently with the sole idea OF speak
ing word in favor of that measure and
justifying the vote of any member for it.
But as IS usually the case with Mr.. Cam

he said something before he got through
about rule of the majority and about
newspaper and magazine attacks.
