AN UNDERTAKING OF GREAT MAGNITUDE Additional Material to Increase the Usefulness of the Work. HISTORICAL CHAPTERS It was with a feelir.g of greatest relief and satisfaction that Mr. William Stone Abert today addressed a letter to Chief Justice Bingham of the District Supreme Court, informing the court that he had at length completed the compilation of the statutes in force in the District. The work was authorized by an act of Congress, ap- proved March 2, 1889, and required the ecmpilation of all statutes and parts of statutes in force in the District, including the, acts of the second session of the Fif- tieth Congress, relating to all such mat- ters as would properly come within the scope of a civil and crtminal code—compiled, arranged and classified with a proper index. ‘The Supreme Court of the District was au- thorized to appoint two commissioners learned in the law to make the compilation, and the late Benj. F. Lovejoy and Mr. Abert were appointed as such commissioners. They commenced their labors in April, 1889. Sub- sequently Mr. Lovejoy died and Mr. Regi- nald Fendall was appointed to serve with Mr. Abert. His other duties prevented Mr. Fendall from an active part in the undertaking, and Mr. Abert was compelled to perform practically the whole labor. The work exceeded all estimates as to the tedi- ous research and almost never-ending as- sorting and consideration of conflicting laws. The compilation was retarded by in- adequate appropriations for clerical and other expenses, considerable time being lost while awaiting the. appropriation of such necessary means, ‘The Scope of the Compilation. As completed the compilation contains the British statutes in force in Maryland at the time of the cession of the territory, as contained in Alexander's British Statutes and Kilty’s reports thereon, and now in force in the District; statutes in force in Maryland from April 26, 1704 to February 27, 1801, as contained in “Kilty’s Laws of Maryland;” the Revised Statutes of the United States relating exclusively to the District of Columbia; the Revised Statutes of the United States relating to the whole of the United States, in which the District of Columbia is specifically named, and also statutes, civil and criminal, referring to cer- taim territory of the United States, and all places and districts of the country under the exclusive jurirdiction of the United States; the acts of tne Legislative Assembly of the District of Columbia, from June 2, 1871, through June 26, 1873, and all acts of Congress relating to the District of Colum- bia, passed since June 22, 187: ind including the acts of the second session of the Fiftieth Congress. It is expected that the compilation will, when published, make a volume about the size of the Revised Statutes of the United States. Fortunately, the act of Congress authorizing the compilation appropriated @ sum sufficient for its publication at the government printing office. Hence, the publication will be commenced at once, upon the approval of the work by the Dis- trict Supreme Court. For their labors the commissioners were authorized to be paid, at the completion of the work, the sum of $1,500 each, while for clerical services about $3,000 has been appropriated. For the pre- paration of the Revised Statutes of the United States, first edition, no less than $51,000 was appropriated, three commission- ers receiving $15,000 each, while they were allowed $2,000 annually, for three years, for clerical and incidental expenses; the second edition, $5,000, and the supplement, the same amount. From these figures it ts seen how disproportionate a sum has been allowed by Congress in the preparation of the compilation of the District laws. As will be seen from Mr. Abert’s letter to Chief Justice Bingham, he has added ‘| greatly to the value and convenience of the work by annotating and thoroughly index- ing it, and it is not at all improbable that the court will recommend to Congress that Mr.:Abert be recompensed for his addi- tional labors. It is expected that the court will shortly approve the work and direct its publication. The work has been inspected by several prominent members of the bar and they have pronounced it a most com- prehensive, convenient and valuable one. Mr. Abert’s letter to the chief justice and associate justices of the Supreme Court of the District is as follows: “I have the honor to report that the work of compiling the statutes in force in the District of Columbia is finished and ready for consideration and approval by the court. The work was performed under and by virtue of the act ‘of Congress ap- proved March 2, 1889, 25th statutes-at-large, chapter 892, page 872, entitled “An act to secure for the District of Columbia a com- Ppilation of the laws of said District and for other purposes.”" “The law required that ‘all statutes and parts of statutes in force in said District, including the acts of the second session of the Fiftieth Congress, and relating to all such matters as would properly come with- in the scope of a civil and criminal code,” should be compiled, arranged and classi- fied with a proper index. The work, as completed, is divided into seventy-one chap- ters, with a full and complete index. “In addition to the work required by the act of Congress, I have prepared some very valuable material, which, if published with the compilation, would greatly en- hance its usefulness and value to the courts, lawyers and to the people of the District. This extra work cannot be pub- lished with the compilation without addi- tional legislation by Congress, authorizing its publication and fixing a just compensa- tion to me proportionate to its value. Additional Matter. “The additional work includes the fol- lowing: “I. Head notes to each chapter, briefly de- scribing the subject of each section. “Il. Subjective side notes for each sec- tion. “III. Marginal references to the text whence each section was selected. “IV. Cross-references to other sections of text containing the same or kindred sub- jects. “V. Judicial citations of the federal courts and of the Maryland court of appeals, ex- plaining or construing the text. “VI. Foot notes referring to subsequent acts of Congress relating to the District of Columbia, and included in volumes 26 and 27 U. S. Statutes at Large; also references to the municipal ordinances in force in different portions of the District of Colum- bia, viz.: Washington city, Georgetown, the Levy court and ordinances of the board of health. The judicial citations have been selected after careful research and patient investigation. What the Appendix Contains. “Also an appendix, indexed and contain- ing certain temporary acts and historical chapters, which deserve preservation and a place in the same volume with our com- piled statutes, viz.: The Appendix: The Constitution of the United States, with index.

Difficulties of the Undertaking. “The performance of the work required by the act of Congress, has been exceedingly difficult and tedious. It was impossible in advance to form any adequate idea of the amount of labor required or of the time within which the work could be finished. But taking into consideration the diffi- culties of the task, it has been completed with reasonable expedition. I would re- spectfully request that the additional extra work which | have prepared may be exam- ined and Investigated as may be considered proper by the court, with the view of de- termining the propriety of applying to hea Poe to take action in the premises, “This additonal work is capable of be- ing easily segregated from the work con- pan aay by the act of Congress, and in justice to myself, I cannot consent to its being published with the compilation un- less I am justly compensated for the same.” —_. ___ GOING TO CHICAGO, Curator Wm. H. Holmes of the Na- tional Museum Has Resigned, Mr. William H. Holmes, curator of the anthropological section of the National Mu- seum and a member of the staff of the gov- ernment bureau of ethnology, has tendered his resignation to accept a similar position in the Columbian Museum in Chicago, where he will enter upon his duty on the ist of May. The news of Mr. Holmes’ advancement will give the greatest satisfaction to his many friends in this city, but their pleasure will be greatly marred by their regret at losing him as a Washingtonian. Few men are as popular as ke Is, and the name he has made for himself in the scientific world is & most creditable o: He is regarded as an authority on the subject of the aborig- ines of this continent, and when the di- rectors of the new museum in Chicago, with unlimited resources at their disposal, were looking about for an available man to take charge of one of the departments of the museum, it was not surprising that their choice fell upon Mr. Huimes. He was in Chicago a greater part of last summer, con- nected with the government exhibit at the fair, and while his friends know that he has been offered a salary far larger than the government ever gives its scientists, they still think it fs too bad he sould not have been kept here. His handsome home on Stoughton street is a most attractive one, and Mrs. Holmes will also be greatly missed in society in Washington. Mr. Holmes is a member of the Cosmos Club, the Literary Society and numerous scientific bodies. He is known as an artist of very considerable ability, and his water color work especially 1s highly prized by critics and collectors. He has always been actively interested in the Art Students’ League, and at the spring exhibition of local artists, which closed last Saturday at the Cosmos Club, he had several examples of his work, both ABOUT GEORGETOWN. ‘Mrs, Jarley and Her “Figgers” Afforded Much Amusement. A Street That Needs a Visit From the Health Inspectors—Proposed High School Building. Yesterday William Kline was again ar- rested on suspicion of having robbed the safe of William H. Gaskins of $100. The prisoner is a boy, sixteen years of age. He is known to be not overstocked with wealth, yet he has been observed spending a good- ly quantity of money since the robbery. When searched at the station jewelry was found upon him that he was never seen with by his intimates before the safe was plundered. Kline was arrested immediately after the robbery, about one week ago, but discharged after a hearing. The loser of the money does not suspect Kline. He is endeavoring to find convicting evidence against a man, it is said. j The Coke Region Murder. Samuel Mason was arrested yesterday near Hancock, on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and charged with having mur- |dered Chief Engineer Paddock of the coke works of Davidson, Pa., several weeks ago. Meson has been in hiding since the crime was committed. The father of the prisoner ‘was' hanged just: before the war for cutting ‘his wife!'to pieces. The hangman made a bungle‘of the job, forgetting to put on the black cap, and using a rope that broke be- fore its work was done. In Mr. Matthews’ Place. Mr. Samuel C. Palmer has been elected director of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Na- tional Bank in place of Mr. C. M. Matthews, deceased. Mr. M. W. Galt has been selected to fill the position of president of the Oak Hill Cemetery Company, made vacant by the death of Mr. Matthews, and Mr. Herry 8. Matthews has been appointed to the vacancy on the board of directors. Mrs. Jarley Makes Fun. Mrs. Jarley’s Wax Works were exhibited last night in the St. John Parish Hall. The seating capacity of the place was tested. Even the windows were occupied. Mrs. C. W. Fisher was Mrs. Jarley, and her as- sistants were Dr. R. H. Dodge and Mr. J. Miller Kenyon. The figures were re- sented by Miss Festitits, Miss Kittie Hay- den, Miss Hubbard, Miss Bell, Miss Moffatt, Miss Dodge,Miss Stevens,the Misses Bailey, Miss Stansbury, Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Nichol- son, Mrs. Robt. H. Dodge and Messrs. Charles Cropley, William C, Looker, W. Bell, Reginald Looker, Roy Kirklin, Gordon Sawers, W. Henry, Conrad Dodge, Harry Blunt, B. B. Wilson, Carl Cooke, Sandford Kirlin, Devereaux Green, Joseph Hardie, Frank Dodge and Miss Charlotte Stevens. It was one of the funniest exhibitions of the works ever given. For the Health Officer. The roadway of 33d street between the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and M street is at all times spread with what sewérs are made to hold ‘and carry off. There is a sewer on the street, but no traps. It is a | neighborhood compactly built up by people who do not observe the laws of health to a particular degree. Hence, things are worse than they would be under ordinary circum- stances. The air is exceedingly offensive. Sickness will no doubt come with the warm weather if the condition of things is not bettered. in of! and water color, which were greatly admired. —— BEER AT THE ZOO. The Seller Thought That a License Was Not Required. “Tonic beer” and other coft-drink signs have becn displayed about the lunch and refreshment stand in Zoological Park, but there was nothing to make known to the thirsty ones that lager beer and wine were to be obtained. But such drinks were ob- tainable, and in order to get them there was no “speak-easy” requirement. An order for a cup of beer or wine was all that was necessary, and the proprietor, it is said, was under the impression that he had a@ perfect right to dispense such drinks. He had been told by one of the Zoo offi- cials, so he claims, that he could sell such drinks there, and, he says, he thought this verbai permission was equivalent to a license, as he was on a government reser- vation and not or private property. Complaint was maie to the police about the sale of beer at the stand, which is not far from where the clephants are housed, and Policeman Bradley of Georgetown, who has made such a good record in sup- pressing the policy business, was detailed to make a case. Acting under instructions from Lieut, Swindells, he went to the Zoo and took a seat at a table a short distance from where two men were seated. The others called for beer, according to agree- ment, and the beverage w: furnished them in cups, for which they were charged 10 cents, twice the usual charge for such drinks. The Zoo visitors paid their 20 cents, and later a warrant. charging John Cro- ghan, the proprietor, with keeping an un- jlicensed bar was sworn out and served. The writ was returned to the Police Court this morning. Mr. Croghan seemed much surprised when the warrant was served, and told of his excuse, as already stated. The case was continued until next week, and it ts said that Mr. Croghan will have some of the officials of the park in court as witnesses. — DEATH OF MR. HERMAN CROHEN. It Took Place at the Residence of His Son-in-Law. Mr. Herman Crohen, senior member of the firm of Crohen, Mascord & Company of New York, died here yesterday evening at, the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Thos. G. Alvord, jr., editor of the Washington News. Mr. Crohen had been a sufferer from Bright’s disease for some time, but its fatal termination was unsuspected, and came as a prostrating shock to his rela- tives. He had been visiting his daughter and her husband for several days, and pur- posed returning heme early next week. ‘The remains will be taken to Brooklyn, and the funeral will take place from Plymouth Church Monday afterroon, the interment being in Greenwood cemetery. Mr. Crohen was born in Altoona, Ger- many, in 1828. Many years ago he went to Rio de Janeiro as a representative of Ger- man commercial houses, and later, upon the breaking out of the gold fever, he was sent for the same purpose to California. He re- mained on the Pacific coast until 1856, when he came to the east and established his home in Brooklyn, doing business in New York. He had lived in Brooklyn forty years, was one of the oldest members of the produce exchange and was a well-known member of several of the Brooklyn clubs, the Ger- mania being one. He lived for some time in Sidney Place, but recently occupied apart- ments at the Clarendon. Mr. Crohen had been a widower for many years. He leaves three sons and two daughters. Theodore, the eldest son, is a member of the firm of which his father was the head; Henry, the second son, is engaged in the flour trade, and George, the youngest, is an architect. One daughter is the wife of Dr. Rohrer of Lancaster, Pa., and the other of Mr, Alvord. —s It Lea From Newspaperdom. There are three things in which The Washington Evening Star is pre-eminent- ly peculiar to itself: It enjoys the distinc- tion of having the largést local circulation of any newspaper in the world in propor- tion to the population of the city wherein published; it carries the largest number of daily “commercial” advertisements (changed daily) of any newspaper in Amer- ica, and probably has the best-established “pureau of local advertising writing” of any paper in the country. ——_——_+2+______ Lincoln Emancipation Club. A new organization, to be styled the Lincoln Emancipation Club, No. 1, was organized last evening at 824 3d street southwest, the residence of Berry Broadus. Officers were elected as follows: President, William H. Thomas: vice president, Addi- son Bankett; recording secretary, Thomas Minor; financial secretary, Edward P. Dade;' treasurer, Charles Tibbs; sergeant- at-arms, Harry Anderson; chaplain, James J. Cousin; officer of the day, James Peak; officer of the guard, George Jackson. The Secretary of the Navy has appointed Building for the High School. The project for a building for the West Washington High School is receiving en- couraging consideration from the congres- sional committees having it at present in charge. Its promoters, Trustee Wilson and others, feel almost confident of success. As it is designed to accommodate not only the advanced students of Georgetown, but also of the western part of Washington, it is contemplated to give the building a cen- tral location, and one east of 324 street. The bill introduced for the benefit of the school asks for an appropriation of $100,000. The West Georgetown Church. In reference to the publication concerning the status of the West Georgetown Church property and the present condition of that church, Mr. W. W. Hummer today said to a Star reporter that what had been pub- lished did not correctly represent the situ- ation. ‘At the last annual conference of the M. E. Church,” he sald, “Calvary was placed on the list of appointments and left to be supplied. Since then the presiding elder has made an appointment for the place, and services are held there twice every Sunday, to which all are cordially in« vited. The property does not belong to Dumbarton, as a search of records of the District of Columbia will prove.” Notes of Interest. The Linthicum Students and their talented assistants, Messrs. Edwin Ferry, W. J. Caulfied, Geo. H. O'Connor, G. N. Winslow, Miss Dashiell, Mrs. John Collins and the Imperial Mandolin Club, appear tonight in the institute hall, on O street near 3ist. Principal E. B. Hay will also lend his presence and talent to the occasion. Master R. Duncan Gatewood, son of the late Richard Gatewood, United States naval constructor, has been awarded a handsome gold watch, by the New York World, for successfully solving one of the World puz- zles. He is the youngest one the paper has ever awarded a similar prize to, he being but eleven years of age. It is again rumored that the largest stock- holders in the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad have been approached by northern capitalists, who desire to obtain a control- Ung influence in the corporation. eevee aka GOOD MARKSMEN, Decorations Awarded Last Evening to Members of the First Regiment. The first regiment, D. C. N. G, was ordered out last evening by Col. Moore, and those members who were entitled to such decorations were presented with sharp- shooters’ crosses and marksmen’s buttons, eerned by good work with the rifle during the past year. Many friends of the com- mand, a majofity of them being ladies, were in attendance at the armory of the Washington Light Infantry Corps, where the ceremony took place. The first bat- talion, under Maj. Ross, assembled shortly after 8 o'clock in close column of com- panies, and a few minutes later the sec- ond battalion, commanded by Maj. O’Brien, marched into the hall and took position on the left the first. Maj. Wilson and the third battalion followed in the rear of the second, Each battalion was successively brought to parade rest by its commanding officer, after which Capt. and Regimental Adju- tant Peixotto ordered attention, brought the command to present arms, saluted Col. Moore and said: “Sir, the battalions are formed.” The colonel directed the ad- jutant to take his post, then put his men through the manual of arms and finally called to the front and center the officers and men entitled to the decorations, whose names have heretofore been published in The Star. They were formed in two ranks, the sharpshooters in front and the marks- men to their rear. As Col. Moore called the names ymade a few pleasant re- marks to each recipient, Inspectors of Rifle ‘Practice Ebert, King and Bagger handed out the trophies to the men of their respective battalions. Corp. F. E. Gibson of company A, second battalion, was also presented with a gold medal on behalf of the members of his company for making the highest aggregate in ordered rifle practice during 1893. The colonel next addressed the regiment briefly, urging the members to foster am- bition and move to the front as regards rifle practice equally as much as with other matters. The battalions were then dis- missed. The staff of the first regiment and Maj. George H. Harries were present. The first battalion and company A of the second, as well as the colonel and his staff, wore full dress National Guard uniforms. On the way back to the Center Market armory Maj. O’Brien and the second battalion in- @ulged in numerous evolutions on Penn- sylvania avenue which attracted the at- tion of a large number of passers-by. —_——— University of Virginia Memorial.
