STILL Minus LIGHT
Restoration of-Lamps on Sub
urban Roads Not Likely.
OFFICIALS ARE INFLExiBLE
Say the Travel on Thoroughfares
Does Not Justify Illumination.
APPEAL BY JESSE L. HEISKELL
Business Man Declares Tax Rate
Has Been Increased Without Com
pensating Advantage.
OFFICIALS ARE iNFLExiBLE


The lamps along suburban roads will
not be relighted to any great extent, &C
cording to the statements of officials in
the engineering department at the Dis
trict building. Following the recent hear
ing on the subject inspectors have been
making figures on the amount of travel
along the suburban roads, and the results
seem to show that no great change in
the lights OUT order will be put into ef-
feet.
The latest request for relighting comes
to the Commissioners from Jesse L. Heis-
kell Of the firm of Heiskell & McLeran,
asking that lamps along the Livingstone
road from Old Mill branch to the District
line be restored. 1t was turned down.
Mr.. Heiskell's Comment. -.
In part Of his letter Mr. Heiskeil says:
You restored the lights from Congress
Heights down to the branch, but from
that point down to the District line. the
darkest and most dangerous part of the
thoroughfare for distance of about one
half mile, you have failed to restore
lights. l labored earnestly with your
predecessors to have these lights installed
originally, and now to have them discon-
thucu anu W Uc lileI Will tuc ASScItiOIi
that lights are not needed in Washington
city is, to say the least, exasperating
and the result is a great injustice to
those like myself who are compelled to
travel this rosd daily and frequently
after nightfall.
II wish to remind you that not many
years since the tax rate on agricultural
or suburban land was raised from 1 per
cent to the city rate OF IA per cent on the
assessed value, and following Immediately
upon this the assessments on such sub
urban lands were greatly enhanced, the
result being that there was horizontal
raise of 80 per cent in county taxes
coupled with an additional increase in the
assessment
Regarded as Injustice.
Certainly no section OF Washington
has been so treated within my twenty
five years experience here. To say that
the owners along this particular thor
oughfare have been badly treated with
regard to roads, lights and other I'M
provements is to put 1t mildly. Apart
from all this the use Of these thorough
fares by automobiles makes 1t more nee
essary than ever that the roads be well
lighted"
Capt. Markham, who has the lighting
question under consideration, said that
he does not believe the meager travel on
the road in question would justify the
restoration of the lights, and further said
that no order had been issued restoring
any of the lights.

on newspaper reporters and camera men
in his Office at No. 80 Liberty street yes

II suppose 1 got that reputation when

tinued. When a lawyer is trying a case
he has his own plans, and to make them

Mr. Stimson would not discuss his visit
to Col. Roosevelt during the day. II

Proud He Worked With Root.
Mr.. Stimson arrived at his off1ce just
in time to see photographer take a
picture Of the entrance, on which ts paint

IF anybody can make capital out OF
the fact that I was connected with this

Work for Corporations.
Mr. Stimson said he had been employed
by corporations, and saw no harm in it.
He declared that no connection with a
corporation had ever kept him from per-
forming any public duty with which he
had been charged.
''Why, at one time i performed legal
services for the Bank of North America,
of which Charles w. Morse was vice
president" he said, but that fact did not

by Attorney General Wickersham and

with the exactitude and carefulness of the
training there administered to- army
cadets. He enjoyed his day; he was in
terested In his day spent at the Military
Academy. and not being himself a sailor
he has sent, Admiral Sab to view the

The prince himself said:
Il am not here really to order ships.

cementing friendship between our two
nations"
Gambling Causes Tong Wars.
Interpreting for the prince Chow Tsi-
Chi answered the question as to how the
condition Of the Chinese In this country
impressed the visitor.
He finds it very gratifying. but he un-
derstands they have trouble with tong
wars. These come out Of gambling. II
our people here stop gambling they will
have no more tong wars.
"In our own country" it was added,
there is now state of peace. Your ru-

failure Of the rice crops and the poor
were distressed, 1t is now all over.

Of the prince regent to train more people
for the army and navy. 1t takes longer

score of physicians, Mrs. Laura l. Ora

rare.
Through the application Of electricity. q
method scorned by her for several months,
she is now able to walk 100 feet without
assistance.
Mrs Graham is the wife of James Ora
ham, employed in Wall street broker
age house, who. after years OF faithful
devotion during her illness, which both
then believed incurable, married her at
Cape May, N. Y, In March. 1909.
The attack came on the night of August
