The National Capital.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

| From the Atlanta Constitution.
For several months the two houses
Of Congress have been deadlocked over
the appropriation bill for the District
Of Columbia, now practically wholly COW
cred by the City of Washington, the
Capital Of the Nation. The House in
sists that only 100000 shall be given
from the national Treasury for the up-
keep OF the District, as for some wears
past, while the Senate wishes to raise
that to $12,000,000 as a more edhitable
contribution.
The status of the Nations Capital is
one Of the curious anomalies of our
Federal system. When Jefferson and
Hamilton comprC missed the Capital issue
by agreeing to locate the seat of the
Federal Government on the Potomac
River, concessions were made by Mary
land and Virginia to constitute Fed
Grad district 10 miles square lying upon
botn sides of 5he river In l845 Con-
gress receded the Virginia part of the
District to that State, reducing the
District to about six miles square on the
east, or Maryland, side Of the stream.
But those facts cut no figure in the
situation now
The Constitution provides among the
powers delegated to the Congress one
ito exercise exclusive legislation in all
cases whatsoever over such District mot
eACteulIlg ~ miles square, as may, Dy
cesSion of particular States and the ac-
ceptance of Congress, become the seat
OF Government Of the United States
which power remains complete in the
Congress, without let or hindrance by
the residents Of the District. They a.e
oinfranchised, are unrepresented in the
Congress and their municipal affairs are
administered by officers appointed by
the President confirmed by the SEN
ate. or otherwise designated under the
laws made by the Congress.
The people who have elected to own
property and reside leisurely or transact
business in the District of Columbia, or
Washington City are not regular citi-
Gems Of the United States, but are sub
jects of the Congress, similar to Porto
Rfcans, Hawaiians and Filipinos.
Those are all curious facts to exist in
the heart of. the Union, and are the
source of irritation and some forms of
obvious practical injustice. One form of
injustice is this recent refusal of the
Congress to live up to a substantive law
enacted in 1878 to apportion the con-
trlbutions to District expenses on the
basis of so per cent by the people of
the District and 40 per cent BY the
Federal Government.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Inevitable Brightness.

Inevitable Brightness.
When Eve and Adam misbehaved
And troubles came along,
In language primitive they raved,
This world is going wrong!"
In classic conflict heroes bled,
Inspiring epic song.
The vanquished usually said,
This world is going wrong!"
Herr Einstein now conducts a school
In mathematics strong.
II 1t obeys Ike Newtons rule,
THE world is going wrong!"
Opposing forces show their might.
innings stay where they belong
And somehow keep on going right,
Instead of going wrong.

FATHER MENAGER GETS
 GAS FOR AUTOMOBILE

Father Gabriel Menager, who was awarded the Chevrolet sedan given by the Juneau Fire Department at the Fair, can now ride in his car to his hearts content. The Con- nors Motor Company this morning presented him with an order for 100 gallons of gas. It happened this way. Father Menager realized this morning that he could not run even a costless Chevrolet without gas and gas costs money. He called on Jim Connors at the Connors Motor Company and tried to negotiate a trade of his new sedan for a used car and a credit for gasoline. "Id be a poor sport if I permitted that sort of a trade" said MT. Connors, and he immediately presented the popular Priest with credit slips for 100 gallons of car moving power.

 The foreman of the jury looked perplexedly at the coroner who nodded encouragingly at him. Co ahead and question Dr. Wingate, he prompted.
 But see here, Dr. Wlngate,' he began, wagging his head knowingly "You just said this carbon monoxide gas kills you in garage but this here Dr. Kane wasn't in a garage at least so we understand"

 Lambert reflected a moment. T helps Miss Kline lift Miss Elsa from her wheel chair on to her bed" he said; "'Twas then early in the evening, earlier than the regu- lar hour for her goin to bed; she's a cripple, you know" He paused before adding: She seemed mighty white and faint-like on Monday night"
 More so than usual, Lambert?'
 "Yes, sir; so it 'peared to me-
 Did you see Dr. Kane?" Pen field asked.
 l ''Yes, sir; I opened the front door lwhen he came with Wr. Winslow, and I carried his bags to the bed room, the one Dr. Kane used when visitin' at Oaklands."
 You have seen Dr. Kane be- fore?"
 "Oh, yes, sir" in obvious surprise at the question. He used to come to the apartment quite frequent in New York. When did you learn that Dr. Kane was dead?"
 MT. Jack came for me; got dressed right away and went down. stairs to help Mir Winslow and MT. Jack. MT. Winslow sent me to get Miss Kline, as his wife had hy- sterics."
 Where were MT. Winslow's guests when you got downstairs?"
 They had left, sir"
 "At what hour did you get to bed?"
 T was in my room by ten o'clock, and in bed twenty minutes later. Mrs. Winslow had had company to dinner the night before and I was tired after a lot O extra work" Lambert explained. And I went right off to sleep"
 And nothing disturbed your slumber?" The coroner was gaz- ing at him with an insistence that would not be denied
 I'd been asleep some time when I came awake with a start" he admitted slowly "and I kinda imagined I heard"
 "Yes, go on," prompted Penfield.
 T heard a woman sobbin,' sob bin Lambert moved his hands up to his ears. T sat up and lis tened. She sure was cryin' and I got out of bed and opened the hall door No one was in sight and though I listened hard for three or four minutes, I couldn't hear a sound; so I went back to bed thinkin' I had dreamed it all. I never woke up until MT. Jack half pulled me out on the floor
 And where is MT Jack Winslow now?" the coroner demanded.
 Lambert shook his head. T haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon" he stated, clearing his throat. MT. Jack came in around five o'clock. Later when I was in the dining room setting the table for dinner, heard his footsteps in the hall and the front door close"
 But you did not actually see young Winslow leave the house?" persisted the coroner. No, sir"
 And you cannot swear that ne | is not there?"
 Lambert scratched his head, a worried look in his eyes He wasn't around when l went to announce dinner, and he wasn't at Oaklands for breakfast this morning." he declared. That is all I know, sir"
