TELLS HOW BLAKE
URGED D. c. POLICE
Columbia Historical Society
Hears of Interesting Incl
dents From 1873 to 1877.

Amusing and interesting incidents
chronicled during the regime of Dr.
James Heighe Blake. mayor of the
corporation of Washington from 1913
to 1917. We're related by Allen c.
Clark. president of the Columbia His
a meeting of the organization last
night in the assembly hall of the Cos
mos Club. Another paper paying high
tribute to the late pr James dudley
Morgan. former president of the
society. was read by Charles Moore.
President Clark's paper recited that
one of Mayor Blake's first official acts
was to recommend the appointment
OF health officer. which was done
later. In his initial mayorial mes
sage DR. Blake advocated the creation
,of police patrols. construction of
schools on the LancaStian system and
the establishment of reformatory.
That there were no police when DR..
Blake took office is indicated in a
paragraph of his first message. quoted
by Mr.. Clark's paper. as follows:
streets Declared Unsafe.
The number of idle and disorderly
persons that are on our streets at
every hour of the night. disturbing
he repose of the inhabitants, and in
many instances pillaging them. rem
der it unsafe for the peaceful citizen
to pass along the street. With a view
to check this growing evil. / will sug-
gest the establishment of patrols"
The municipality had been before
the Blake administration" said the
paper. "in existence more than a
decade. and yet in his administration
it was a period of beginnings. Mayor
| Blake stated July "a. 1915, that the
,, Improvement of the streets are
greatly retarded for want of sur
veyor to the corporation. and when
| made are without correct gradua-
ton"
Mr.. Clark's paper pointed out that
an exclusive section early developed,
and by an ordinance July 26, 1915, it
| became unlawful to keep geese south
of Massachusetts, avenue and west of
11th street. The geese which strayed
! outside of the limitations were seized
for the poor at the infirmary and the
trustees directed to pay 25 cents for
each goose delivered.
Relates Historical Events.
The paper also referred to many
historical events during the second
war with Great Britain, when Brit
| told of how Gen. Van Ness of the
militia of the District procured a
barrel of whisky. containing 33A gal
Ions, for 1851. including 81 for the
barrel, for the consumption of the
city's soldiers who tried to defend
Rladensburg from the advancing Brit
ish troops.
Prior to the reading of the paper
on DR.. Morgan Miss Maud Burr Nor
ris. recording secretary, read a reso-
luton lauding him, which was
phrased by DR.. William Tindall and
adopted by the board of managers
Of the society. Mr.. Moore's paper
praised DR.. Morgan. who was a mem
Der of the society for twenty-six
,, years. for preserving the historical
records Of Washington. The paper
also traced the history and influence
on this country of the family of
which DR.. Morgan was a member.
When Mr.. Moore concluded, DR..
Henry B. Learned announced the COM
ing convention Of the American His
tory Association, to be held at the
Willard Hotel. beginning December %.

BERLIN, November 17.-Renew al of
the Russo-Polish war may be impend-
ing. NJ. Joffe, head of the soviet dele
cation at the Riga peace conference,
in a verbal communication to the Poll
ish representative here, has accused
Poland of gross violations of the re-
cent Riga arnistice pact
NJ. Joffe declared that an abnormal
situation existed on the Russian
Polish front. Thousands of soviet
troops had retired according to arti-
Gle of the armistice agreement to
the state boundary agreed upon, while
the Polish army had not done so, and
had therefore violated the treaty. He
said further that Gen. Balakhovitcn,
after the signature Of the Riga pre-
liminary peace pact, had passed from
Poland across the line into the neu-
trail zone, and had begun warfare
against Russia. NJ. Joffe asserted that
this was gross violation of articles
10 and Z of the armistice, barring
military forces from the neutral zone.
BY this time" he added, "the Pol
ish army should be nearly ten miles
behind the fixed frontier. allowing the
Russians to advance to this frontier
o-Iu AOoh upoH ali military IOunQ east
of it as prisoners of war. The situa-
tion created on the front by Poland
compels the soviet government to
take energetic military measures in
the neutral zone against the advanc-
ing white Russian troops. and this
might cause a conflict between the
red army and the Polish forces
located near the white bands"
M. Joffe declared that it was abso-
lutely necessary. in order to avoid
grave consequences. for the Polish
government to make its attitude
clear. NJ. Vassiledvy replying to NJ
Joffe, said that Poland was loyalty car
rying out all the provisions of the pact
concerning the non admission of anti
soviet troops into Polish territory.
He added that all the questions in
dispute might be discussed upon the
arrival of NJ nomhski

Twenty-Five gold-lode mines were op-
Grated In Alaska in 1918, according
TO the unlted States geological sur

was also production from seven
prospects-abandoned mines or small
mines that were not In regular oper-
alton. The value Of the lode-gold out
put decreased from S4,5Sl.4a3 In 1917
to Ss.47s.3lT In 1918, owing partly TO
the disaster AT the TreadweIl mine in
April, 1917. and partly to curtallment
OF operations, especially in the Juneau
district, because Of shortage Of labor
Southeastern Alaska. especially the
juneau district. is still the only cen

In the territory. Next In importance
Is the Willow Greek lode district. The
production In the Fairbanks district
decreased materially. as the lode-mlne

especially Of fuel, which Is expected
on the completion Of the government
railroad. In 1918 the average value Of
the gold and silver contents for all
siliceous ores mined was Sl70 ton
the average for 1917 was Sl87 ton.
These averages reflect the dominance
in the total lode production Of the
large tonnage produced from the low

Road Bonds and County Division

So far MS this section goes II is
impossible TO consider the proposed
bridge bond issue for Weld county
entirely upon the merits Of the case
alone. IL seems 10 us that II pre-
seDts a sound reason why the bal
ance OF Weld county should wish
to allow us 10 go our way.
Apparently MIR. Wortham hiss .
very good idea. and makes show
ing that justiiies the bond issue as
the logical and economical way 10
meet the situation II we accept
the view that we are likely TO have
to replace good many bridges in
short time and all of them with
In the next ten years. Il would ap-
pear TO be the only sensible soiu-
tion.
II we assume that the majority
OF the western part of the county
Npuia itti lHdt Nhg hh1ht iAf hHNg
would rather We we're left out of
the decision on the matter, for IL
Is reasonably certain that the bond
issue will not command many votes
on this side OF the county.
Three fourths al least Of the peo-
pie here hope that another year
will see the new county of Pawnee
an established fact. While II might
be possible to have the bonds voted
this fall and still moi sold until af-
ter division was effected. we sns i.
peet that the bulk OF the people
would feel that 1t was safer not to
take chances Of a slip up on the
county division program, or OF a
scramble 10 dispose of as many OF
the bonds and contract as many
new bridges as possible before the
Division OF the county could be ac-
complished They would feel that
the safe and sane way would be TO
vote down the bonds this fall and
allow the old county to settle the
question as seemed best TO them af-
ter we had set up housekeeping for
ourselves and were in no danger OF
having to pay for better than half
million OF the bonds as our share.
The other quarter OF our people
hope to see county organized be-
fore the next forty years. the life OF
the bonds has passed. 30 they wonld
vote against them.
Probably. the right thing would
be. for the two parties TO pIedga
heir Legislative ticket to support the
division bill and pledge the com
missloners now In Office and the can
didates for commissioner that they
would delay any sale of the bonds
until the division was effected, then
we could refrain from voting upon
the measure That would be right
aud proper, for II division Ii brot
about, we should not pay the bonds:
neither should we have voice IN
saying what bonds the old county
should or should not issue It would
be for them to pay and should be
for them to say.
II this connection II might be
most assuring to our people that
their interests would be protected

ders OF the new county. II the new
county should be organized such a
commissioner would become an Of
