Assistant State Treasurer Homer
Jones will ask the next legislature
to make the state treasurer the
state fiscal agent and keep Wash
ington dollars at home until they are
called for by bondhoders who have
interest or principal due.
Under the present law a New
York bank designated by gov
ernor acts as the state fiscal agent.
The state, each county, city, town.
school or other district which sells
its bonds in the open market carries
an account in this New York bank.
All interest is paid in the East and
when bonds are redeemed the prin-
eipal is sent East to be returned to
bondholders.
As result enormous sums of
Washington communities moneys lie
idle in the New York bank for long
periods. The state, for example, sent
the money to retire Sh,oO0,o0o
worth of soldier bonus bonds east
IA months ago and some of it has
not been drawn by bondholders yet
In the state treasurer's biennial
report to the legislature such in
stances will be cited as an economic
reason for doinr Washington's fis-
cal business at home.
Mr.. Jones, who is urging the
change, is Republican nominee for
| state treasurer.

An early description Of this hotel says:
Delegations of red men were there con-
stantly, and they were regarded with great
courtesy With his stabling and shops a large
three e-story brick building, the hotel proprietor
used nearly the whole of the T. street front OF
the square. This was the headquarters for
Majors line Of stages, or omnibuses, running
first from the Capitol and afterward from the
Navy Yard gate to Georgetown
Perhaps the most notable use TO which the
hotel was put was as the meeting place for
council of Know -nothings,' and it is generally
believed that it was there the plot was formed
to destroy the Pope's stone, the memorial sent
from Rome to be placed In the washington
National Monument"
The Indians, who made this hotel their stop
ping place were members of the many dele
cations which frequently visited the Capital
years ago to urge their land claims before the
Government, and no doubt in many instances
had never been in city before. In his per
sonal recollections Of the Indians who stopped
here Judge Edgar H. Bates, for many years
a Washington magistrate, says:
IT have frequently seen them half naked ."
on the common, at Fourteenth and streets
northwest, in genuine war dances, full war
paint, feathers, war whoop and all Upon one
occasion two rival delegations from the Sac
and Fox tribes met in free fight on the Ave-
nue. enlightening the terrified citizens In the
art Of warfare by throwing tonahawks at each
other for awhile"
DRIOR to the Civil War, what we now call
I Government Triangle, was almost entirely
a very nice neighborhood. The Nailors, noted
livery stable keepers, not only had their husi-
ness and stables nearby, but lived in the vicin-
ity, and . good story Is told OF an incident
which took place in the square 10 the south
Of the Southern Railway Building, about 1845,
when Majors Row was being added to. 1t
was probably Washington Naiior, ST., who was
doing the building, In which he was using one
. Of his slaves, Joe Bates. to do the digging for
the foundations. Joe, 1t seems, struck box
with his pick and upon getting it out OF the
ground found to his great astonishment that it
contained Spanish gold coins. Naturally he
hastened TO tell the good luck to his master,

COME time ago In writing of this section and
y of the wharves which were uneartaed at
the site of the Internal Revenue Building, the
writer could only approximate when the
wharves and piling were placed there, but a
few days ago, he found that they were placed
there in 1905, as stated by the National rntel-
ligencer Of May %, 1906, which not only sets
the date Of the wharves, but also shows how
really large this stream was in the early days
of the city. "Tyber Navigation" the item Is
headed, and it proceeds to say:
Pursuant to a resolution adopted at q gen.
eral meeting of the subscribers to the Tyber
Navigation held at Mr. Rhodes tavern on the
28th ult, the directors submitted the following
statement Of the advantages derived by the
citizens from the erection of the wharf on
Twelfth street west within the year 1905, and
also the probable advantages that viii be de-
rived from the Improvement now In progress,
when the water shall be sufficiently deep to
admit vessels drawing from to 10 feet as is
contemplated.
when once completed the Tyber win be-
come the harbor for bay and river craft. the
cargoes Of which generally consist Of lumber,
grain, oysters, cord wood and stone coal The
consumption of this latter article Is very great.
The public Offices consume annually upwards
of 12,000 bushels, and from q rough estimate,
there is reason to believe that more than that
quantity Is consumed in private dwellings
within the limits OF the Tyber, south and east.

The directors are Of opinion that captains
of vessels from New England, etc. would prefer
coming TO the center Of the city, where there
would be a sreater chance Of . ready market,

sist Of cheese, fish, onions, beef pork. potatoes,
apples, cider, etc. Regular packets to Alex

who suggested that he might buy his freedom
with the money and have something left with
which 10 start the new life on, the entire
amount being In excess Of 5000. 1t Is related
that he gratefully accepted the offer, but how
the money ever reached this place or who put
it there are two questions which have never
been answered.
OF course, the Elks of Washington had no
knowledge of this historic neighborhood when
they held their first meeting here, In 1882, or
that the site of the hall in which they met was
once less than two blocks from the tidewater
mark of Tiber Creek and about three blocks
from the steamboat wharf at Fourteenth and B

The Bidding

The Bidding
 Just before the start of the game, I had been explaining to the commander the bidding of four-card suits ahead of five-card suits, and also the "one-over-one," " and he decided to try it.
 He was sitting in the south po- sition, and opened the contracting with one spade. West passed and North bid two spades. This sup port of partners suit. without an intervening bid, shows at least a trick and a half and normal trump support. and acts the same as a one-over-one force, in that 1t re- quires partner to rebfd.
 East passed, and now the com mander knows there is a game in the hand and responds with four diamonds. which is forcing bid. North went to five spades and then the commander, ever on the lookout for thrill. bid for a small slam in spades.
 The Play
 Vests opening was the three of hearts which was won by South's ace. Two rounds of trumps were taken and then the king of clubs followed by the three of clubs, which was won in the dummy with the queen. The commander then made the remark that he had stripped the deck for action and played his ace of clubs.
 He has now stripped his own and dummy's hand of hearts
