NEW REGULATIONS
PLAN TO Be HEARD
Installation of Refrigerating
Machines May Be
Supervised.

The District Commissioners are to
\hold public hearing April Is at 10
am. on tentative set of regulations
governing supervision of refrigeratinG
machines or apparatus for lowering
temperature, whether used in private
dwellings or in apartment houses or
other public places in the District.
Col. William A. Ladue, engineer Com
missioner has drawn up the tentative
regulations, which are designed prima-
rily to cover the installation of multiple
units. III his opinion, the lack Of reg
ulations covering such refrigerating de-
vices constitutes a serious problem
which must be corrected.
Marshal Must Approve.
Under the plan, no permit for the
installation of any such apparatus will
be issued unless the application has
been approved by the fire marshal. The
permit and inspection fee shall be dis
tinct from the fees for building, plumb
ing, electrical OF. other work. No ma
chine will be continued in service II
complaint is made by the fire marshal
until 1t is brought into conformity with
the regulations.
Multiple units, such as domestic re-
frigerators in apartments circulating or
using more than 20 pounds. but less
than so pounds of refrigerant, will be
charged fee of 81 for each compressor
or absorbing unit and 81 additional for
each expansion clement or connection.
Apparatus using up to 100 pounds will
be charged fee of IS.
Other fees are as follows: Air condi-

issued a proclamation, stating that from
evidence in the possession of the Blu
reau of Military Justice it appeared
that Jefferson Davis was implicated in
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,
and for that reason the President Of
fered a reward of 100000 on the cap
ture of the then fugitive eX-President
of the Southern Confederacy. -
Certain high and influential enc
mics of Jefferson Davis, either then
already aware of the character of the
testimony of those witnesses or not
thinking their testimony quite sufficient
to hang Mr.. Davis, expected to find the
wanting material in the terrible NOR
tally of Union prisoners at Anderson

Wirz Assailed by Press.
"Orders were issued accordingly to
arrest a subaltern officer, Capt. WirZ
a poor, friendless and wounded prisoner
of war the being included in the sur
render of Gen. JohnSton) and, besides,
a foreigner by birth. On the 7th day
of May he was placed in the Old Capitol
Prison at Washington, and from that
time the greater part of the Northern
press was busily engaged in forming the
unfortunate man, in the eyes OF the
Northern people, into such a monster
that it became almost impossible Tor
him to obtain counsel.
Even his countryman, the Swiss con-
sui general, publicly refused to accept
money to defray the expenses of the
trial. He was doomed before he was
heard, and even the permission to be
heard according to law was denied him
To increase the excitement and give
eclat to the proceeding, and to inf1u-
ence still more the public mind, the
trial took place under the very dome
of the Capitol of the Nation. A mill
tary commission. presided over by one
of the most arbitrary and despotic gen.
erals in the country, was formed; and
the paroled prisoner of war, his wounds
still open, was so feeble that he had to
recline during the trial on a sofa. How
that trial was conducted the whole
world knows"
Such was Schade's view of the pro-
ceedings. The trial itself and the
circumstances surrounding the COM
missions finding long have been moot
subjects. Several books have been
written about the affair by men either
associated with the proceedings or
acquainted, by reason of having been
prisoners at Andersonville, with condi-
lions there. A series of charges against
Wirz the principal one being that he
conspired with jefferson Davis and
others to murder the Union prisoners

charges. although the implication OF

Governor YctOeS
Sunday Dance Bill

Three bills were vetoed by Governor
J. +. Erickson last week in his clean
M of the nine measures before him.
Included in the six signed was the
appropriation for maintenance of the
greater university.
The Sunday dance bill, designed to
permit Sunday dancing in cities with
1000 or more population was among
the trio of measures vetoed and these
were the only ones passed by the
twenty-first assembly which the gov
ernor killed. A similar dance bill
passed by the twentieth assembly
also was disapproved by Governor
Erickson. The other two bills killed
were those relating to leasing of state
lands and forbidding raising of sal
aries unless the money had been spe-
officially appropriated.
Explaining his action on the dance
bill, the governor said: Opposition
to it is most pronounced from all
parts of the state" He added, how
ever, that while the demands for
the repeal of the present law are in
sstent and entitled to respectful Con-
sderation. | can not make myself be-
lieve that the general welfare of the
state and of its people would be
prompted by the repeal of this stat
Ute" He said the purpose of the
present law is to prevent Sunday
dances from being commercialized
and made resorts for bootlegging,
crimes and immortality"
He described the act prohibiting
salary raises as "too drastic" and de-
clared that it would prevent reward
of merit and efficiency of state en-
ployes. He said that no business firm
would adopt such policy.
The Governor said that the levi
dent purpose" of the bill relating to
leasing of state lands was ito Sc
cure a reduction of rentals of state
owned grazing lands" The measure,
he said, provides for reappraisal of
state lands, an undertaking which he
characterized as expensive and I'M
necessary at this time.-Montana
