Il have orders to take no cards" said
the maid, closing the door.
1t was the last straw, and Riddell at

night why he did not force an entrance

he amenable to the law. His real Of
Tense consists in persistently evading
service of a legal subpoena, issued by
inc House. II is a subpoena tnat calls
upon him, as citizen. to perform a
certain service. 1t is just the same as
service for jury duty or summons
to come to the defense of his country
in time Of war. In evading it, he is
evading the performance of duty which
is incumbent upon all citizens, and more
SO in his case because he has information
which the committee desires him to put
at the service of the country
1t was declared tonight that inasmuch
as Mr.. Rockefeller. by the letter his
physician sent to the committee in ad-
vance OF the subpoena. has admitted
knowledge of the fact that he is wanted,
1t may be possible for the House Of Rep
resentativeS to issue n warrant for his
arrest for evading service. Recourse was
had to this plan recently when the SEN
ate wanted witness in the Archibald
Impeachment proceedings who was dodg-
ing d subpoena.

Discussed Reclamation Work.

THE result is you have the Rocl
Creek and Geological Parks. At ar
earlier period. in 1880. ! asked a couple
of my then friends to meet me at my
house to discuss the possibility of the
reclamation of the Potomac Flats. We
were to determine upon some plan both
for the reclamation of the flats and the
watorworlls extension
I'VE determined that the method
the one that would give the least OPP
position. was to put the whole matter
in the hands of the Engineer Corps of
the Army, and to ask for an appropri-
alton. Washington was said to be prob
ably the most malarial city on the
continent. We succeeded in getting an
of 100000 to begin the
reclamation of the flats, and $500. 900
to complete the waterworks extension.
THE flats were gradually reclaimed.
