TO restore them: as, for example, in the

FOR Army POST
in EACH STATE
Officers Suggest that Move
ment to This End Be
Inaugurated.
POINT OUT ADVANTAGES
Arrangements Could Be Made, 1t Is
Declared, by Which National
Guard Would Benefit.

Some army officers in Washington are
proposing that a movement be inaugu-
rated for the establishment of a regi-
ment army post in every State. so, that
every Congressional delegation would be
virtually interested in the army. These
officers see in this suggestion a possibil-
ity of much practical good to the army
itself. and also to the militia of the sew
eral States.
Il have devoted more than forty years
to this subject" said one veteran holding
the rank of major general, ''and while
we have made some progress, it has been
so slow that we must turn our attention
to new methods and try a different plan
II substantial results are to be obtained.
'In the first place We know that the
militia must be considered in army mat
ters. The militia is a strong political
factor in the States and congressional
districts. 1t is here to stay.
states Would BE Interested.
Now, what I suggest is that the army
Improvement be considered just as other
subjects are considered in Congress. Let
every State become an interested party
and have pride in its military post as
it has in other State advantages. We
know that it is impossible to abandon
many military posts, so let us have
regimentaI post in each State. II one
State is entitled to a military post and
holds it because OF the influence OF its
delegation in Congress, then why should
not every other State have the same
advantage, especially as 1t will ultimate
ly be for the general good OF the army
and the national defense? Every Con-
gressioEal district has several public
buildings, almost every State benefits
from the river and harbOr bill; every
State will benefit from the apPropria-
tions to be made by the Federal govern
ment Cor road improvements.
State posts should be located with
a view to making IL easy TO assemble
for the summer camps three regiments
from contiguous States. We should
even have the groups Of posts so ar
ranged as TO make IL possible to bring
together several brigades. and form the
division. the tactical unit OF an army.
The troops as a regiment, in the State
post would have training they cannot
get when scattered, as now. in battal-
ions and companies in small posts
widely separated. We could have the
militia troops assembled with the reg
uiars at the different maneuver camps
whenever il was practicable. while
they could always be sent once a year
to the regimental post and in this way
the National Guard could be trained for
the service which may be required Of
them.
The same influence which secured
the construction Of many of our army
posts-although now looked upon as
useless-will prevent concentration and
the construction OF quarters necessary
for brigades and divisions. I would be
glad to see the progressive ideas OF the
Secretary of War prevail"

TRADE week"
TOBEGIN TODAY
Epoch in the City's CONNER
cial History VIII Be
Inaugurated. 49,.
BIG BUSINESS EXPECTED
Railroads, by Offering Special Rates,
Are Helping to Contribute to
Success of the Event.

a new epoch in the commercial history
OF Washington will be inaugurated this
morning when the local merchants throw
open the doors of their establishments
for business. The opening of the stores
today marks the beginning of Trade
Week"
Trade Week is the result of the de-
Cision Of the members of the Retail Mer-
chants Association TO make determined
effort 10 secure for Washington its fair
proportion of the large amount Of rural
business which in past years has been
diverted through other channels by ar
tificial forces. There are hundreds of
reasons why Washington should be the
natural shopping center of the tens of
thousands of persons living within a
radius of 100 miles of the city, but for
some reason no effort ever was made
by the local merchants to bring this
trade here.
Nearby Territory Covered.
Every nook and corner within radius
of 100 miles has been Canvassed for
the coming week. The Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio. and Southern rail-
roads have given the merchants of the
city their hearty support in order to
make Trade Week" success. Not only
have they advertised Trade Week" all
along their main lines, but they are offer
ing special rates to Washington. More
than 1000 posters have been sent through
the mails to small places within radius
Of 100 miles.
The merchants are well prepared to
greet the thousands of visitors who are
expected TO take advantage Of the low
railroad fares and the special prices Of
fered in the stores. At no season in the
year are the stocks to be found in the
local stores so large and varied as they
are in the fall. Special displays and
prices will be offered by all of the stores
during the week The retail stores are
going 10 demonstrate in a practical and
fOrceful manner that Washington is the
logical market for those living within a
radius of 100 miles of the city.
Style show This Week.
One Of the features arranged for Trade
Week will be the fourth annual style
show, to be held October !. >. and ;. at
Rauscher's. Some of the best known i'm
pOrters and makers OF exclusive models
in wOmen's wear will be represented.
Many OF the daring Partisan creations
will be worn by living models.
At a meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association, to be held tonight, President
Andrews will receive reports of the first
day of Trade Week" and issue addi-
tiOnal instructions to his lieUtenants to
insure the success Of the event.

TAXI COMPANIES
TO RENEW fight
Will Try to Prove Today that
They Are Not Common
Carriers.
HEARING THIS MORNING
More Evidence Expected Tending to
Show that Concerns Garry On
Public Hacking Business.

The taXicab companies will have an op-
portunity at 10 o'clock this morning of
renewing their task of attempting to
prove to the Public Utilities Commission
that they do not come under its juris-
diction, and are not common carriers. "
With the weight of evidence so far ap-
parently against them. their work prob
ably will not be easy. If they fail in
their demonstration, the commission will
proceed, it is understood, TO an immediate
investigation of the present rates of the
companies.
This investigation of the rates of the
companies is the one exception to be
made by the commission in the mat
ter of delaying consideration of rate
schedules of public utilities until ap-
preparation can be obtained from Con-
gress to cover the expense of obtaining
the valuations OF the properties.
1t has been shown in testimony be-
fore the commission, part Of which was
given by officers of the commission,
under oath, that there are instances of
public hacking business" being done
by the cab companies from the hotel
stands. 1t is suspected that the cab
companies undertake as much general"
business from their rented hotel stands
as they can procure.
Nature of Contracts.
More evidence Is expected to be Of
fered this morning to show the freedom
with which the taxicab people, or their
drivers, or the hotel people, decide what
kind of business can be carried on un-
der the contracts between the companies
and the hotels. These contracts have
never been explained to the utilities
body.
Drivers of independent cabs expect to

petition.
The COMMISSIONS hearing will be held
in the board room Of the Municipal
Building. This will probably be the final
hearing on the matter, and it is expected
that closely following the hearing steps
will be taken by the commission to COR
rect the present eXorbitant cab rates and
contention that private concerns have a
rentable property right in streets and
thoroughfares belonging to the public.

Contract Is Made.

Upon the execution of this contract
the committee carefully reviewed the re-
port of its predecessors OF 1901 and in
order to gather such further evidences
of original construction as might be dis
closed while the work at the building
was in progress. The first building con-
trac entered into by the city was for
the structural work only, including the
removal of the partitions, flooring, and
otho work that had been introduced
when the bIilding was adapted to the
city's uses after the year 1900
)uring the progress Of this work i'm
pJrtant details of the original building
were disclosed. which in the main con-
firmed the conclusions following the
first survey, but also brought to light
evidences of original construction that
were at the outset LIatters of conjecture
only. These discoveries, for example.
not only confirmed the exact position of
the gallery in the House of Representa-
tives. but also gave the profile of the
holdings of the gallery front The re-
moval of the modern flooring disclosed
the original floor OF the House OF Rep
resentatives, with indications of the eX-
act position of the railings, platforms
&c, which had originally eNistee: but
thi- oor was so badly decated by
dampness and time as to render 1t un-
fit for use, with the exception, fortu-
nately, of a small area of the Sixth
Street side, on which is clearly indicated
the position of the Speakers platform
and its inclosing rail. which section OF
floor has been preserved Intact. Before
removing the flooring elsewhere a care
full survey was made Of the surfaces TO
locate the mortise holes, so that rec
ord might be kept of the original plan
showing the lines of a railing which sep
arated the space occupied by the men,
bers of the House from that set apart
for visitors.
