BENEFIT FOR FAIRGROUNDS.

The benefit given by the management
of the Lyric Moving Picture Theater for
the Mount Pleasant Fairgrounds Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons OF this week
was a decided success. and the proceeds
will be handed over to the Washington
playground authorities for the purpose Of
more fully equpping the Fairgrounds with
playing apparatus, which they are badly
in need of. as the attendance of children
at the Mount Pleasant Fairgrounds has
rapidly increased of late.
The committee on recreation and amuse-
ments of the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association consists of DR.. Benjamin F.
Gibbs chairman: Randolph d. Hopkins,
vice chairman: Edward S. Fawcett,
treasurer; ]. Clinton Hiatt. secretary;
Max Kohner, Alton b. Carty. Paul F.
Grove, and Edgar S. Martin. and they in
tend to secure sufficient funds to assist
their local Fairgrounds financially in or
der to accommodate the little ones in their
locality.
The daily attendance at the Mount
Pleasant Fairgrounds since its opening
this season has already reached 1.000 mark
on several occasions. Boys baseball clubs
are being organized and will soon be ready
to play any of the Fairgrounds teams in
the city.

Great Britain Expresses
Sympathy for Americs

London, March 2s.-Universal sympathy
has been aroused throughout Great Bri-
tain over the magnitude Of the disaster
which has swept over the Middle West
portion Of the United States. Many of
the newspapers have printed editorials
offering coincidence to the American pub
lie. and some have even suggested that
. relief fund be started here.
The Daily News said: Help will be
needed in an unstinted measure when
the forces OF rebellious nature are stilled
That it will be forthcoming from the
other parts Of the United States We may
be certain. and IL the appeal is made
wider it still will not so without re-
sponse."
The Daily Mail partially attributes
the disaster to the destruction Of the
American forests. which formerly acted
as a regulator in retaining moisture.
causing it to drain gradually. The
Mail said, in part:
From this point of view. a cam
paign Is now being carried on in the
United States for the protection Of the
remaining forests and the reforesta-
tion OF the areas already denuded.
While trees are OF extreme importance.
the forestry problem may not alto
sether eliminate the peril Of disas-
trous floods, but it will certainly d.
minish the risk Of such fearful catas-
trophies as has befallen the city Of
Dayton"

tomorrow will say:
Apart from. the temporary interrupt
tion to railroad traffic. as well as in
dustry and commerce generally. caused
by the flood disasters in Ohio and Indi-
ana. and by the great storms through
out the Middle West. there has been
little change in domestic trade condi-
tions. Notwithstanding the appalling
loss Of life and property in the afhtcted
region. reports from Omaha and other
points devastated by tornadoes early in
the week Indicate that the work Of re-
covery already has begun, while there Is
a nation-wide movement to cooperate
with the State and municipal authori-
ties in the flooded districts in coping
with the situation.
There no doubt. will be increased
difficulty In obtaining prompt deliveries
of iron and steel products; but before
the floods caused suspension of work In
certain places. the situation In this In
dustry was marked by great activity in
most branches. In the dry goods mar
kets there is still a large volume of busi-
ness TO supply immediate needs. but
comparatively little buying in anticipa-
ton of future requirements. The shoe
trade is quiet. while leather il firm. and
hides are moving slowly. The heavy
rains in the South have caused an ad-
vance In cotton. Building operations
are active.
Foreign commerce continues large.
The fall of Adrianople foreshadows an
early termination of the Balkan war
and has still further improved the inter-
national monetary situation. especially

UTILITIES CASE PENDING.
Pay of New Boards Transferred
Employees Before Comptroller.

Whether officials and employees OF the
District government. transferred TO the
Public Utilities Commission, will draw
increased pay for their new duties. de-
pends upon the decision of Comptroller
of the Currency Tracewcll. The ques-
ton was submitted to him yesterday
by the District Commissioners. The gen.
eral deficiency appropriation act re-
quires that no person employed at a
fixed salary shall be transferred to
other work. and paid from a lump-sum
appropriation at a greater rate of COM
pensation.
In the opinion Of the Auditor of the
District Alonzo Tweedale. the govern
ment Of the District does not come un-
der the provision in question. and he
has submitted a lengthy argument OF
the case to the Comptroller. The Gues-
tion was raised by the transfer of an
employe of the surveyors office at 1878
year to the electrical department at
81 a day, to be paid from a lump sum
appropriation.
