COMMISSIONERS TO GIVE
HEARING ON SUBWAY BILL
District Heads Plan to Thor
oughIy Look Into Measure.
May Oppose 1t.

Preparatory to submitting a report on
the measure to Congress the Commits
soners of the District of Columbia, it
became known yesterday, will give a
hearing on the bill of Senator Johnston
of Alabama providing a subway and sur
face street railway system for Washing
ton. The date for the hearing has not
been set.
While the District heads plan to look
thoroughly into the merits of the meas
ure, it is learned, on reliable authority,
that there is little proba bility of their
approving it. The provisions of the bill
are radically different from recommended
tions made recently by the Commission
ers to Congress on the street railway
needs of the District.
The recommendations were that there
be a consolidation of all street railway
lines in the District, SO that they shall
be under one management and control;
that charters to new companies which
propose to build street railway extern
sions in the District be refused, and that
the passage of a law, similar to the New
York law, through the operation of which
all, or a part. of the cost of extensions
may be provided by assessments levied on
property benefited, be considered.
Must Agree to- Recommendations.
Any of the recommendations. it is
pointed out, will stand in the way of the
Commissioners indorsing the Johnston
bill, whose provisions are in conflict with
them. This measure provides for the
granting of a charter to a company to be
known as the Capital City Subway Com
pany.
1t stipulates that the subway part
Of the proposed system shall start at
Union station. running sOutherly on
Delaware avenue to the Capitol
grounds; thence SouthWeSterly through
the Capitol grounds to Pennsylvania
avenue; thence northwestly on Penn
sylvania avenue to the Treasury;
thence northerly to Vermont avenue
and Thomas Circle; then westerly
and northerly around the circle and
northerly on Nth street to Meridian
street.
The Commissioners, it is understood.
will. in all probability, take the posi-
ton that there is no need for such d
system of street railways as proposed
in the bill; that the investment could
not possibly be a profitable one to
the company desiring to undertake it,
and that the street railway needs of
the District will be much better con-
served through extensions and i'm
proyements made by existing COM
panies than through the granting of
charters to new corporations.

DECLINE TO CLOSE STREET.
Request in Behalf of Fever Patient
Denied by Commissioners.

A ruling by the corporation coun-
sells office in 1900 to the effect that
the District government will be liable
for closing any street for purposes
other than those connected with the
making of repairs caused the Commits
sioners yesterday to refuse a request
for the closing Of one block OF a
thoroughfare in one of the residential
sections on account of the serious i'll
ness Of typhoid fever patient. who is
annoyed by traffic over the street.
The District heads, however, gave
an order for the placing Of tanbark
on the street. 1t is announced that
the Commissioners will follow strictly
the ruling Of the corporation counseps
office, but, that in cases of serious
illness, they will take whatever steps
are possible to reduce to q minimum
annoyance caused by traffic.

LIGHTER GOES TO BOTTOM.
Craft Sinks With Acid Making Ma
terials at Alexandria.

A large covered lighter belonging to the
Alexandria Fertilizer & Chemical Com
pany a Alexandria and used in the trans
portation of iron pyrites from the Cabin
Branch mine at Occoquan. Va, to acid
making plant at Alexandria, developed
heavy leak Friday night. and yesterday
morning when the workmen went to I'M
load her she was found lying on the
bottom.
The lighter, with load of the acid
making material aboard was brought
up from Quantico and locked at the
acid plant pier Friday night and at that
time was not leaking. 1t is supposed that
she struck a pile or some obstruction
under water as the tide fell. and this
caused her to leak. The lighter is lying
in Shoal water, so that but little trouble
will be encountered in getting her afioat.
As soon as the material aboard her is
unloaded an examination will be made
to see how she is damaged, so that she
can be fioated and taken to the shipyard
for repairs.

TELLS Of WAR DAYS
AT FRANKLIN SQUARE
Brig. Gen. Parker Recalls
Time 1t Was Used to
Quarter Troops.

Apropos of an article appearing in The
Star recently telling of the evolution Of
Franklin Square from marsh, dotted
with numerous springs. to its present de-
veiopment into a small city park. Brig.
Gen. Daingerfied Parker tells of the APP
pearance OF the park and the purposes
for which it was used during the civil
war.
Gen. Parker, who now lives at Chevy
Chase. was d subaltern in the Sd United
States Infantry at the opening of the
war.
Run SAID the general this morning, the
I'd Infantry was quarlered around the
square. the command being housed in
private buildings rented by the quarter
masters department. During the period
tnat the Sd was stationed there the
park was used as a drill and parade
ground. Before the arrival of the Sd
the camp of the 18th New York Infantry
was at The square. Gen. Sykes, at that
time a major of the 18th Infantry, COM
manded the troops quartered on the
square.
Troops See Execution.
AT a later date the Sd Infantry was
reinforced by the 10th Infantry, the COM
mand making a small brigade. The troops
witnessed the execution of Private
Michael Lennahan of the I'd Infantry,
who had murdered Sergt. James Bran
nan of the same regiment in Georgetown.
Lennahan was executed at l4.h and .
streets, the infantry regiments forming
a quadrangle around the area. The exc
cutlon was a gruesome Slgnt, OF course,
and one of the men III my company rant
ed. much to the disgust Of his nrst
sergeant.

days was very strict and of a character
that would not be tolerated now, nor can
it be defended from any point OF View,
but nevertheless il got there every time.
For minor offenseS II was customary 10
make the cuiprlI walk the ring with a
heavy log, under the vlglant eye OF the
sentinel on post at the guardnouSe. and
the prisoner was not allowed to loIter.
Prisoners Sometimes Knocked Down.
Il remember well seeing one of the
prisoners knocked down by the sentinel
with the butt. OF d rifle. This was re-
markable enough, perhaps, but not so
strange as what followed. Soon after
the sentinel and prisoner changed places
and the former guard got what his priS-
oner on the previous occasion mad re-
ceIved. AS sequel to the case | saw
the men later walking arm-in-arm to a
nearby corner and indulge in a fraternal
smile. These little duty incidents DID
not disturb their friendship in the least. :

of detachment Of the Sd Infantry, COM
