William Tindall.

SiXty-three years ago young man,
just graduated from the Medical School
CT Columbian, now George Washington,
University, entered the service OF the
District Government as secretary to
Mayor Bowen. Yesterday he passed
away at the age of 88, the oldest in
point of years in public service in this
city, and one OF the most valuable and
beloved members Of the Capital COM
munity. DR.. William Tlndall. whose
connection with the District Govern
ment, beginning in 1869, was not -
terrupted during the long span Of more
than threescore years. had become a
veritable institution in Washington.
No other man was so well informed re-
garding the history of District Gov
ernment. For many years he had been
intimately associated with the munich
pal administration first as secretary to
the mayer, then as secretary to the
Governor under the territorial form Of
government. and then, in 1874. as sec
retary to the Board of Commissioners
in the change to the present crganiza-
ton In this latter capacity he con-
tinued for forty-one years, when on
account of his advanced age and les
sened strength he was relieved Of a
portion Of his duties, but was placed
in q position of valuable assistance to
the District Commissioners as head Of
Bureau Of Information, for which
post he was exceptionally fitted.
DR.. Tindall was not only an encyclo-
pedia of facts relating to District gov
ernment and community affairs in
general. He was a close student OF
the problems of administration and
was Of the most valuable assistance to
the numerous occupants Of the admin
istrative Offices who came and went
during his long span Of secretaryship.
His associations, however, were not
confined to his official role. for he
participated in numerous civic organi-
cations, and to them he was Of valuable
aid in their efforts for the develop
ment Of the Capital community.
His lovable personal qualities en-
deared DR.. Tindall to long succession
Of associates. His kindly, helpful ma
ture held for him the warm and en-
during friendship Of multitude out
side Of his official connections. In the
later years of his life, when relieved
of much Of the stress of Office, DR..
Tindall became interested in scientific
pursuits and was actively engaged in
the development of cosmic theory
which gave him pleasurable occupation
in his last days. This was character
istic of the man Of thought and acton,
who, despite the advance Of years,
could not quit.

Washington has no turnstile to count
the number of visitors to the Capital,
but 1t does possess a meter to measure
the flow Of guests. That is the Wash
ington Monument, which is one of the
most definite Of detectives for the new
ccmers and for many Of those who
come for second or third visits. The
Monument is easy to reach and TO
ascend. 1t is in itself an attraction,
giant obelsk OF striking proportions
and perfect form. lined with memorial
stones from all over the world and from
all the States. From It's f1ve-hundred-
foot level sweeping view Of Washing
ton and its environs is to be had 1t Is
a thrilling experience to ascend to that
point and see the Capital that bars
the name of him whose fame is eX-
plicitly perpetuated by this dominating
structure. So to the Washington

come here, and at its door strict
count is kept Of the numbers who pass
within. That is Washingtons reg

comparing the number Of visitors at
the Monument during the first three
months Of 1882 with those who came
during the same period last year. In
January, 1881, there were 1886; in
February, 1885; in March, 21.259, and
in April, 1882, total of 125.682. This
year in January there were 26.29l; in
February, 3o,264; in March, 37.728. and
in April, 6o,364; a total of 154 4,65l

than for 1892 because of the fact that

The Political Mill
BY C.. Could Lincoln.

The victory of former Representative
Benjamin K. Focht in the recent Re-
publican primary in eighteenth Penn
sylvania congressional district was the
subject of comment in this column
yesterday. No mention was made OF
the fact, however, that Mr.. Focht's op-
ponent in the primary, Representative
Beers, died on April 81, five days be-
fore the primary was held. The op-
ponentS of Mr.. Focht carried on. how
ever, voting for Mr.. Beers, hoping to
prevent the nomination of Focht and
thereby bring about the selection of
another candidate for the House seat
in the eighteenth district by the Re-
publican Committee. Mr. Focht, how
ever, carried the primary election by
upward of 5000 votes, running against
his dead opponent. How the election
would have resulted had Mr.. Beers
lived is another question. AS the mat
ter stands, Mr.. Focht has been NOM
mated by the Republicans for the long
term beginning March T. 1893. The
district is strongly Republican. Filed
for the Democratic nomination was ].
G. Harry Rippman of Millerstown.
Under the Pennsylvania law Gov.
Pinchot is empowered to call a special
election to I'LL the Beers vacancy in
the present Congress If he desires. The
law does not specify a particular time
for such a special election, and it is
presumed that the election for the un-
expired term may be held on election
day next November unless the Gov
ernor should determine to call the cleo
ton earlier To fill the unexpired term
the Republicans in the District might
nominate Mr. Focht or another candi-
date, as they saw fit.
The late Representative Beers was
regarded as one of the dryest of the
members of the House from Pennsyl-
Vania, and the district from which he
dryest in the State Mr.. Focht. on the
other hand, has been held a wet.

Senate Loses Smith Case,

The Supreme Court, in a decision
handed down by Associate Justice
Brandeis, yesterday settled the con-
troversy between the Senate and Pres
ident Hoover over the appointment of
George Otis Smith, chairman Of the
Federal Power Commission, in favor OF
the President. The position taken by
the Supreme Court was expected and
beyond all doubt is sound The case
arose out of the desire Of some mem
be-s Of the Senate to recall Chairman
Smith from the ofice to which he had
been appointed because DR.. Smith and
his colleagues had dismissed three Of
ficisls Of the old Power Commission
Charles A Russell, solicitor: William
V. King chief accountant, and Frank
E Bonner, executive secretary. One OF
more of these officials was held by
friends in the Senate TO be antag-
onistic to the power trust" Removal

The Senate ordered confirmation o.
the nomination Of DR.. Smith on De.
cember 20, 1880. 1t also ordered thai
the President be notified Of its action
On that day the Senate adjourned foI
the Christmas recess and did not NEE
again until January S, 1881. The
President. having received the mott
fication Of confirmation, issued q com

mission. Immediately the Senate
adopted motions to reconsider the vote
by which DR.. Smiths appointment had
been confirmed and asked the Presi-
dent to return the nomination to the
Senate. This the President declined to
do. Whereupon the Senate proceeded to
restore DR.. Smiths name to the execu-
tive calendar and then rejected the
nomination. Since then the matter
has been fought out in the courts, with
the Senate contending that because of
one of its rules, providing that a vote
on nomination may be reconsidered
at two executive sessions following that
vote, the President had no right to
commission Dr. Smith
Justice Brandeis made no attack on
the rules Of the Senate, pointing out
that under the Constitution that body
is empowered to make its own rules.
But he upheld the contention of the
President that, having been notified Of
the Senate's action, he was justified in
completing the appointment by COM
missioning DR.. Smith. He said: THE
reasons against the Senate construc-
ton seem to us compelling. We are
confirmed in the view We have taken
by the fact that since the attempted
reconsideration of Smiths confirmation
the Senate itself seems uniformly to
have treated the ordering of immediate
notification to the President as tanta-
mount to authorizing him to proceed
to perfect the appointment"
Of the dismissed officials Of the Pow
er Commission, actuating cause of the
Senate'S attempt to reverse It's con-
frmation Of DR.. Smiths appointment,
King, on application, was restored to
service, Russell was not restored and
later was employed as special counsel
by Gov. Roosevelt,s power authority"
in New York State, and Bonner insisted
that he had resigned and had not been
dismissed
The decision of the Supreme Court
upholding the right Of the President
to complete the appointment of DR..
Smith after notification of its approval
and consent by the Senate was in line
with decisions rendered in the lower
courts.

The lesson drawn by the Altoona

But you can't sell people what they

potent in the Spring as in the Winter,
and in Summer and Autumn likewise.
Just lately, for instance, the cherry
blossoms around the Tidal Basin in
Potomac Park were in evidence, and as
the word spread that these blooms were
coloring the scene with their lovely
hues the tie OF travel greatly increased.
This spectacle is always lure to the
tourists. Now the cherry trees OF
East Potomac Park are in flower and
thus the period of blossom time is
extended into the month of May.
The notion that Washington is an
excessively hot place in Midsummer,
once prevalent, has been effectively dis
proved by comparative weather records.
The tide of visitation has in recent
years been maintained at high point
during the Summer months, and this
year it is to be expected that the events
incident to the Bicentennial celebration
will draw greater numbers than usual.
So 1t is likely that the Washington
Monument "turnstile" will click contin-
uouSly increasing totals for the months
to come, as compared with those of last
year. and it is quite probable that before
the close of the anniversary period the
elevator in the great shaft will have

La Opinion, Santo Domingo.-The
odious stealing and sequestration OF
which the diminutive son of Col. Lind

last analysis but the result OF the curl
GUS customs and singular temperament
of the American people, taken as a
whole. In a land filled up with cos
mopolite ingredients, there can be no
uniformity of policy or method In
dealing with crimes. Indeed, 1t Is evi-
dent that many of the inhabitants
have come to America in recent years
because they considered 1t a haven
where, due to this intense conflict of
opinion on all important subjects, an
easy living may be procured with I'M
punity.
For decades such people hsve been
emigrating from their own countries,
where they had become persons non
gratae" to North America, not from
worthy and piouS motives, as were led
the early pioneers who braved all the
perils of savage wilderness for their
faith and principles, but more for its
profitable opportunities.
In these later years people OF every
nation have come to America, not for
the free exercise of uplifting creeds,
but for their own private and material
advantage They have come solely for
the purpose of getting rich, and too
many have cared not by what methods.
