LARGER CAPITOL GROUNDS.
Petition Filed for Condemnation of
Two SQUARES,

Through the United States attorney for
the District of Columbia the Department,
of Justice has fled a petition in tn
Supreme Court for the condemnation o.
the two squares between B and streets
northwest and northeast, from Delaware
10 New Jersey avenues. This is the first
step on the part Of the government in
buying the twelve squares adjoining the
capitol grounds.
An appropriation of 100000 year has
been provided by Congress for the acquir-
ing Of the !anu, and it is believed the APP
preparation available now will suffice to
acquire the two squares indicated. The old
Kenmore Hotel and the Hotel Engel are
among the buildings in the two squares,
as is also the home of No. 1 truck COM
pany.
With others holding title to property
in the two squares are Mrs. Emma
Michael, wife of Consul General William
H. Michael, stationed at Calcutta: the
heirs of former Representative Joseph
w. Babcock of Wisconsin. Mrs Elizabeth
r. Tally, L. Cabell Williamson. William
z. H. Merritt, c. c. Lancaster and the
estate of the late Fire Chief William T.
Belt.

SUSIE BELLS PARTY
TO Be SCENTED AFFAIR
She's Only a Cow, But That
Doesn't Matter to
Bill Gray.

Bill Gray of Riverdale. Md, believes
his garden patch is the onion center of the
United States. He says he has more onions
to the square foot than any other COM
muter on the trolley line. The atmos-
phere around Bills garden patch is SO
redolent with the soft scent of onions
that all Riverdale goes into tears when
an onion-laden stratum rises to the height
of the eyes. Bill was speaking of the fer
tility of the soil of Riverdale ins regard
to onions only few days ago to a red
headed man who was taking some truck
to town, and the red-headed man sug-
gested that Bill should give his onions to
his friends.
NO" said Bill, "all Riverdaleans are
my friends, and if fed them on those
strong onions of mine there wouldn't be
any kissing in this little community for
long time to come
Susie Bell Calls.
Just at that moment there was a soft
sound, as If the air was being disturbed
by the whizzing propeller of an areoplane
at the neighboring air lanes of College
Park. Md. 1t was a gentle, faraway,
ladylike sigh, yet little heavy and car
rying a little more basso than the or
binary ladylike sigh.
Wait said Bill, Susie Bell wants
me-"
Susie Bell is the Bill Gray moo COW
She and Bill have arranged a regular
code, whereby the two of them can talk
just like a couple of steamboat captains

Bill disappeared in the COW shed, where
Susie said she was tired of sending on,
signals only to be disregarded. Bill said
he begged pardon. but that a gentleman
was talking to him about onions.
Onions, indeed" mooed Susie, IT want
to talk about my birthday"
Bill scratched his head. He'd forgotten
about Susie's birthday. Susie mooed GER

Invitations Sent Out.
Bill went in the house and told Mrs.
Bill. That's why they're digging onions
in the onion center of the United States,
situated back Of Bill Grays house today.
Susie Bells birthday is going to be highly
scented.
Also that's why Bits friends received
invitations like this today:

effective medium in striking out the
evil in part. I shall endeavor to Sc

at the White House and ask him for
his moral support"
In discussing the movement Judge
De Lacy of the Juvenile Court said:

Cool Weather Cut Down Attendance
at the RafIinp Reach

The cool spell of last week, which cut

TAG LAW SUSPENDED.
Operation Delayed Until Supply of
Tags Is Replenished.

The new police regulation requiring
.horse-drawn vehicles. used for business
purposes to be equipped with tags, has
again been suspended. because the supply
of tags has been exhausted.
The regulation was to have gone into
effect April 1. AS there was a delay in
the shipment of tags. 1t was postponed
until August 1. Accordingly. it became
effective last Tuesday. but since then
the permit clerk has issued 10000 tags,
and, as a result, the supply is depleted.
Just when the regulation will again be-
come effective is to be determined later
by the commissioners. 1t is estimated
that from 1900 to 10000 tags will even
tually be needed.

The Harried Teachers.

y word for the teachers of Washing
tons public schools is in order. They are
under the harrow OF criticism. in the
atmosphere of agitation. denied Iesis-
latire relief and deprived by an admin
istrative decision of time-honored pre-
duty and the employment of substitutes
and now, in consequence of that decision
and the inability of the clerical force to
cope with the new conditions affecting
the preparation of the pay rolls. forced to
wait for their salaries for many days
beyond the usual time. Ii is wonder
that they are able to go ahead with their
responsible work in such circumstances.
In another part of The Star today is
printed a letter from one of the teachers,
setting forth the hardships which the in
structors of the children of Washington
are suffering because OF the decision
about the substitutes. The writer points
out that the net result of this overturning
ruling Is that many OF the teachers have
been driven to the loan sharks. In order
TO obtain funds for their necessities OF
life. Some of them have had to mortgage
their small possessions to get money to
tide them over this period Of stringency.
Teachers have seldom been paid enough

Mania and Responsibility.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The decision of jury that Joseph g.
Robin, though pronounced insane by six
eminent alienists, is nevertheless able to
confer properly with counsel for his de-
Tense upon a, charge of grand larceny,
represents a distinct advance in the treat
ment of criminal cases where insanity Is
involved. Hitherto it has been popularity
held that no person, if insane, can be
held responsible for any crime which he
may commit. If lie is a kleptomaniac
and kills somebody, or libels somebody,
he should be acquitted. If he is an insane
epileptic, subject to impulses of violence
or manslaughter. he should not be held
responsible for sneak thievery. The jury
in the Robin case recognized the fact that
for each criminal state there is differ
ent state of mind. Prof. keedy Of North
western University has declared that the
symptoms of the mental disorder reported
by the alienists should be measured with
reference to the particular mental state
which is a part of the crime charged.
Robin was accused of grand larceny. The
experts admitted that, though perhaps
subject to paranoiac decisions, such as
prompted Thaw to Stay Stanford White,
Robin perfectly understood the immoral
nature of grand larceny, and that a lar
cenous state of mind was not paranoiac
state.
