Plans for Street Decorations.

lie said
From present indications the decora-
tions at the coming Inauguration will be
more harmonious than ever before. The
committee announced some time ago that
tho color scheme chosen would be green
and white, and sent letters to all house
holders along the line of the parade. re-
auesting their cooperation in carrying
out this idea. and suggesting the use of
green foliage wherever il could be used.
1t has been most gratifying to learn
that the citizens intend to make the dec
orations harmonious from one end of
the parade TO the other.
y have been informed however. that
man, announcing himself as adviser to
the committee OF street decorations, has
been soliciting contracts for decorating
houses along the line of march, saying
mat the color scheme adopted by the
committee was red. gold and white In
me hTst place. the committee has never
authorized any one to act in such a
capacity. and in the second place the
ro.or scheme is certainly not red god

Ell. PASO, Tex, February IA volun-

prevails over much OF northern Mexico.
Rebels and federals are seen fraternizing

that many federal officers openly declare
they wish Diaz would win. but they are
not renouncing the Madero government
before 1t is overthrown.

Pertaining to Borrowed Articles.

Another House bill to receive the o. X.
of the committee fixes the penalties to
be imposed for fraudulently converting a
borrowed article to ones own use. The
penalties are the same as those fixed for
embezZlement.
The Senate District committee also or

Charlotte J. Pile. EastmOnd p. Green and
Easie c. Gandell, owners OF iots 53, d
and 10 in square 753, to bring suits for
damages because OF the changes in street
grades due to the construction OF the
Union station. They did not bring the
suits within the time the original law
specified and the committee thought the
excuse they offered sufficient. Several
similar bills have been previously ia
vored by the committee

NEW PLAN FAVORED
Annual Assessment in District
Gets Committee Sanction.
OTHER BILLS ARE APPROVED
New Railway Lines Among Subjects
Considered Today by Senate
District Committee.

Approval of bills for annual instead
of triennial assessments in the Dis
trict and for new street railway lines
along NJ street from the Aqueduct
bridge to the Union station and from
Wisconsin avenue and Macomb street
along Nacomb street and Massachu-
setts avenue to the District line was
given by the Senate District commit
tee at a meeting today. Several street
extension measures and changes In the
laws for the punishment of embeZzle
ment were also stamped with the COM
mittee's o. X
When the question of the substitution
of annual for triennial assessments in the
National Capital was under consideration
the committee members showed them
selves entirely in favor of the change.
The Gallinger bill for the change was be-
fore the committee but it was decided to
accept in its place the bill of similar pur-
port recently framed and recommended
by the District Commissioners.
The bill to extend and widen Western
avenue northwest from its present ter
minus at Beach street along the north
western boundary line of the District to
Rock Creek Park. already passed by the
House. was given approval by the COM
mittee.
To Widen Rhode Island Avenue.
The committee also gave its approval
to bill to authorize the widening and
opening of Rhode Island avenue from
4th street east to the District line. AS
originally introduced. the bill provided
that hale of the cost of this extension
was to be assessed against the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company. To
this provision the railroad company OBJ
iected. and the provision was modified
by the committee so that the amount to
be paid by the company is to be deter
mined by the jury that fixes the value or
the land necessary for the extension.
The bill, already approved by the House.
reducing the penalty for the embeZzle-
ment of small sums of money was favor
ed by the Senate committee. Under the
present law the penalty for embezzle-
ment is not more than ten years i'm
prisonment or $1.OO0 fine, or both. no mat
ter what the amount of the money en-
bezzled. This bill would make the pen
atty not more than one year imprison-
ment or $500 fine. or both, in case the
sum involved does not exceed S'o.
This is similar to the distinction made
by local laws between larceny and grand
and will give the Police Court
jurisdiction to punish for embezzlement OF
49, or less 1t has jurisdiction to punish
for larceny involving not more than $50.
Where sums of only a few dollars have
been embezzled, it was thought, 1t should
not be necessary to bring the case to
the attention of the grand jury, as Is now
necessary.

National Palace Is Target.

During the heavy Smelling of the palace
Diaz apparently moved some of his forces
to the southeast of the city, and shortly
after II o'clock the palace was made the
target of both shells and rifle fire from
that district. Coincidentally. the rebels
succeeded in extending their zone of ac-
uvity in other directions.
The rebel fire toward the palace was
intended not only to bring about its sur
render, but to clear the intervening high
buildings of machine guns and rifiemen
and to silence the battery operating in
San Juan Letran street at a point mid
way between the arsenal and the palace
This Smelling wrought havoc among the
buildings in that section OF the city. The
American club was riddled. The interior
Of this building on the second and third
floors was completely wrecked. OF forty

Club Portraits Riddled.

Shrapnel was hurled in all directions,
cutting the furniture to ribbons, ripping
the floors and walls and punctu.ing in a

afterward solid shot from a field gun
entered the Jardin Hotel. Rife bullets
also fell into the grounds of the American
embassy.

Captain Elkanah Daniels and his
friend were feeling better and they
were busy. Trumet had a new hero
now. On Wednesday the Boston papers
printed excerpts from Captain Ham

to give him a reception Elkanah was
the moving spirit in the preparations.
Captain Nat, so they learned by tele-
graphing, would arrive on the noon
train Thursday. His was not to be a
prosaic progress by stage all the way
from Sandwich. A special carriage,
drawn by the Daniels span and es-
corted by other vehicles, was to meet
the coach at Bayport and bring hin
to Trumet in triumphant procession.
All this was to be surprise. OF
