Editor News:

EQltOT NEWS.
In compliance with a request, but
now a demand, of some of our lead
ing citizens, give my views on the
manner of election of officers and
their duties in our new form of gov
ernment. I have been reluctant in
this for if am sustained in my inter
probation or construction of the Act
authorizing this form of government
in connection with our charter, it will
necessitate some changes. l feel to
some extent responsible for what has
been done, for l was the first man to
advocate this form of government,
which | did in season and out of
season for the past two years. Why
did | endorse it? Because, according
to my Interpretation of the law it
was made to reduce our current ex-
pense to the minimum and transact
our city's business along strictly bus
mess methods, and eliminate all Dead
Head ways of doing things, by paying
each and every employe of the city
in proportion to his time and service
to the city.
The Law.
Notice Section one, Chapter 10S,

commission shall be elected from the
municipality at large without regard

is that we shall elect three commits
sioners and from these three elect our
mayor, and that you cannot elect your
mayor until you have chosen your three

ter give us on this? That the said
commission shall consist of three
men, one of whom shall be elected by
the people as mayor. What next:
The commissioner who is elected may

Many Baptist Ministers Take Part

Procession.

Vermont Avenue Colored Baptist Church
was occupied at an early hour this
morning by members of the congrega
ton, gathered to attend the funeral Of
their late pastor, the Rev. George W. Lee
who died Sunday morning. The doors Of
the church were thrown open at 8 O'Clock
and at $50 every seat was filled excep,
those in the front pews, set apart for use
of the family.
Outside the church the streets We're
crowded, and a special detail of police
from the ell nth precinct. under the per
sonal command of Capt Doyle, was
necessary to keep the church from being
overcrowded. Traffic ON Vermont avenue
between Q and r streets, wher the Yer
mont Avenue Church is located. was COM
pletely cut off by the dense crowd.

The Guernsey bill, to make the last

celebration may be held in April, while
the oath of Office is administered March
4, has been formally disapproved by the
commissioners.
In reporting the matter to the House
committee on the District the Commits

its enactment, because 1t provides for a
holiday known as inauguration day en-
tirely separate from the day on which
the oath of Office is taken by the Presi-
