ANAC0STIA RIVER FERRY
PLANS MEET WITH HITCH
Construction of Roads on Reclaimed
Area to Terminal Causes
Delay.

hitch has occurred in the plans for
the establishment OF a ferry across the
Anacostia river from the foot of South
Capitol street in this city to point on
the opposite shore near Poplar point.
J. II. Adriaans, who applied to the War
Department on behalf of himself and as
sociates for permit to operate the ferry.
has written another letter to the Secretary
of War on the subject He says that Col.
Langfitt. Corps of Engineers, to whom
the application was referred, reported tina,
the issuance of the permit it depends on
the construction of roads over the re-
claimed land on the Anacostia side OF
the river to connect the proposed ferry
terminal with existing highways. The
existing project for the Anacostia river
Improvement makes no provisions for
roads on the reclaimed area, but such
improvements undoubtedly will be made in
the future
Mr.. Adriaans explains that he has MT
permit for such roads and has no in
tention of making such application since
the title to the land is in the United
States. He therefore requests that the
United States construct the roads for the
ferry similar to those constructed or
the reclaimed area of Potomac Park ad-
jacent to the Highway bridge The letter
has been referred to Col. Langf1tt fol-

The Loss to Mexico.
From the Ell Paso Heral

u
Every American who has been living
and working In Mexico has been worth.
to the republic. on the average, at least
$500 pesos a year in earning power. This
earning power has been applied to de-
veloping the resources of Mexico. As
Stunning that there We're 10000 Americans
thus engaged. and that they have prac-
tically all left the country, or at any
to the disturbed conditions. that means
loss of l25,OOo00o pesos q, year TO the
republic. or a capital loss Eat per cent?
of 2.5O0,000.000 pesos or M,25O,00o.ooo
gold.
Mexico will suffer for q long time as a
result of the exodus, In addition to the
direct personal losses sustained. by the
Americans themselves. The Americans
who have been forced to leave are for
the most part of type that Mexico can
i'll afford at this stage Of her national
growth and development to lose.

A City Christmas Tree.
To the Editor OF The Star.

To the Editor OF he Star:
Cannot the Capital city have a Christ
mas tree similar to those put up last
year with such wonderful success in Mad
ison Square. New York, and on the Bos-
ton Commons. where Christmas music
was rendered by the finest vocal and in
strumental talent the cities afforded. and
the passing throngs given more beautiful
idea OF the true Christmas spirit than
they had ever had before?
In Boston, singers went from house to
house, rendering the old carols. and there
was also a celebration New Year eve,
when trumpeters heralded in the dawn.
In New York the tree was the tallesr
that could be found in the Adirondacks,
and was covered with thousands of cleo
trio lights.
Many cities will celebrate along these
lines this year. and it does seem as If the
capital should not be left behind, but
should put up a tree where the crowds
are most dense-say Market space-and.
with the aid of bands of music, great
choruses and quartets. raise glorious mu-
sic of thanksgiving on the birthday of
the Babe of Bethlehem, who blesses the
whole world. y. NJ. YOUNG.

Business Grows Steadily.

Since then the business has steadily
grown, keeping pace with the growth OF
Washington. The premises adjoining
7O5 Market space were added to the
stores. but the business continued to
grow and it was removed to 921 Penn
sylvania avenue.
In 1887 the business had increased to
such an extent that it became necessary
to move from Pennsylvania avenue to a
building specially constructed at 18th
and F. streets. In 1902 the business had
still further increased and another new
building along G street from 10th to nth
was added to the stores, until now, in
1918, it has become necessary to erect
still another building in the block.

BARRIERS FAIL IN
DAVENPORT FIGHT.
State Wide Campaign Against
Non Union Men Meets
little Success.

The statewide campaign Of the
union BARRIERS to close Sunday shops
fell flat in Davenport but in Des
Moines the courts held that Sunday
opening was illegal and several pro-
prietors were fined for violations. The
campaign against Sunday opening in
Des Moines is not confined to the par.
bers, but according to the decision of
Hubert Utterback, police judge, can
be applied to the sale OF cigars, ice
cream, drug sundries, newspapers,
etc.
The ruling at Des Moines upheld a
city ordinance covering the above
points in Sunday opening. Davenport
has no such ordinance and the cases
were fought with nothing but the state
law as a foundation. Ali attorneys
recognize the weakness of the state
law, which prohibits anyone from
working on Sunday. If this state law
were to be enforced all the theatres
would be closed and the question
would arise as to whether or not pub
lie service corporations could operate.
The state law appears so absurd that
no effort has been made to enforce II.
The attempt at Davenport TO make
the BARRIERS close their shops on sun
day met with no success. Luther Al
len, one of the accused BARRIERS, was
acquitted and two other cases OF the
same nature were dismissed.
The unfolding of the city ordinance
at Des Moines by Judge Utterbach
places the capital city in a peculiar il
not inconvenient position. The ordi-
nance sustained prohibits any store
from keeping open on Sunday and
prohibits the sale OF drugs. milk and
fee Many o-her Sunday necessities
are barred and the enforcement of the
ordinance will mean series, Of incon
veniences that the people OF Des
Moines cannot help feel.
The supreme court of iowa will
eventually decide the Des Moines case,
but the question Of enforcement of the
state law which proved such a weak
foundation in the Davenport cases
| will likely never be raised. The alb
surdity of such a law makes Its en-
forcement a joke.
The six defendants in the Des
Moines city ordinance case admitted
their guilt, bEt through their attorney
attacked the validity of the law. Pro
prietors of two of the shops were
fined so each and the four workmen
employed by the proprietors were fined
/ s. each for working On Sunday.
Following the decision of Judge Ut
terback the defendants announced
they would appeal the case 70 the dis
