To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star of the 10th I read the altera- tions suggested in the Peffer bill by the District Commissioners for the public good, as they claim. The Peffer bill calls for ex- tensive improvements in the District to give employment to the meny unemployed at $1.50 per day of eight hours. Our honorable Commissioners say it is too much wages for a laborer and would injure private firms and contractors. Now, I would like to ask our honorable Commissioners how they would like to work for $1 per day and support a family and pay house rent? They would soon commence to cry poverty. Then, after the bill has been relieved of its objectionable feature—that feature being the paying of the laboring man $1.50 per day for eight hours’ work—they then urge upon Congress the speedy passage of the bill for the benefit of the unemployed of the District. Oh, what a charitable body our honorable Com- missioners are! They would open their tender hearts in favor of the army of un- employed by paying $1’ per day for ten they would then proceed to : 3 per cent District of Columbia bonds to the amount of $7,500,000 dollars, payable fifty years after date, as they con- sider the money market ts favorable to the sale of bonds. If it is favorable to the sale of bonds, why Is it not favorable to paying | the laborer $1.50 for eight hours’ work? ‘ L. J. P. WEALERS IN NEW QUA RTERS. STILL ANOTHER CAMP The Commonweal Moves Down and Occupies Bladensburg. IN CAMP GEORGE WASHINGTON Carl Browne Decorates the Fence and a Dog Dies. GOING TO STAY THERE pote AS AL Seat Early this morning the Commonweal of Christ took up its haJf a dozen beds, and without ceremony, and not a particle of re- gret, moved its habitat from the sandy shores of the Eastern branch into the his- toric town of Bladensburg and deposited itself in the large yord attached to the George . Washington. house. Never in its history has the hoary old tavern received such a number and wonderful variéty of guests, and the proprietor and his assistants rubbed their bands in gleeful expectations of the harvest they would reap from the crowds of the curious who would be a tracted- by: the -back-yard aggregation Aur- | ing the summer months. The ominous at Utude assumed by the Hyattsville residents | on Saturday night did not appear to have | bothered the cohorts of Coxey and Browne | even a_ little bit. They packed up their goods and carried them along the high- way careless of the cutting remarks direct- | ed at them by the citizens of the neighbor- hood who happened to be in the vicinity, | while the indignant expressions that the} people in Bladensburg gave vent to regard- | ing their new fellow-townsmen went en- tirely unnoticed by the commonwealers. Gen. Coxey expressed himself as being very | much pleased with the new location of the camp when he was seen at the National Hotel this morning. “The Marylanders were very much wrought up on Saturday night,” he re- marked .with 9n amused smile, “and evi- dently were desirous of inciting our people to resentment & that a row could be start ed. I never saw ple in my life so anx- fous to create a disturbance. When I came along in my buggy to take a train at night several’ of the Hyat*sville ple harshly ordered me. to ‘drive cn’ and to ‘move on’ with threatehing emphasis. I pulled my tesm to the side of the road and told some of them that they were trying to make uble, and if they persisted they might find themselves behind the bars instead of putting us there, because the same laws govern the action of both sides. You can rest assured that we are going to stay right in Bladensburg less the approaching in-/| dustrial be: so numerous that we will rot heve room for them at our new camp- ing spot, In such a case we will have a rendezvaus camp on Dr. Rogers’ property that we moved from. Nothing that the Prince Georgians can do can make any of ; our men show resentment sufficient to precipitate a breach of the peace. Our in- tentions are peaceful and our actions will be none the less If any trouble occurs while the commonweal is in Maryland, it will be all one-sided and wrong-sided, and the entire responsibility will rest upon the Marylanders. I am going to move out tq | the George Washington Hotel myself this | afternoen. “There is ho regular program for the day | other than the usual system which regu. | lates the every day life at camp. We will have a meeting tonight, as usual, at which | Mr. Browne and myself will speak. I bad a visit last night from a number of Arkan- sas newspaper men, and at their request to give them a talk upon the objects for which the commonweal came to Washington, I made them a little speech, which one of their number endeavored to break the strength of by telling a funny story. Aj} reform must always pass through several | stages of public sentiment on its approach to attainment. The ridicule stage is one of them, but It is past so far as our move- ment is cohcerned in the west, as well as in that part of the east in which our ob- jects are entirely understood, and the peo- ple now -are thinking with a seriousness with which they have never before ap- proached a great public question. 1 suppose the ridicule era has just reached Arkansas. Along with all the rest of the states, ho ever, it will fall into line, too, and add the. majority of its population to the national | army of the American citizens who sympa- | thize with our movement and appreciate | that its undoubted success will terminate | the terrible distress with which the United! States is now afflicted. I can only repeat Christopher Thinks He’s Thinking. what I have said before, and that is that | we are here to stay until Congress takes some definite action upon the bills which contain: our views and which a correct un-| derstanding of will cause every true Ameri- an to favor with all his heart. I am going | over to the. Clover Club entertainment on | Thursday, and may take occasional trips’, lawyers of Bladensburg and Hyattsville be | | appointed as a committee to go to eat | solidate certair lots owned by it for tne | away from the camp every now and then, but I will never be absent long. No, I do| not anticipate any ‘trouble out at Bladens- | burg and a vollision between the comme: wealers and the citizens of that ancient and | honored neighborhood is too absurd a pos- sibility to be even considered. The sent ment of the people out there is rapidly | changing and I am sure they will all be our friends in a very little while. There has been no refusal on the part of the mer- chants to sell us anything we want to buy and I have no idea that there will be. If we have the money the merchants will do the rest.” Then Mr. Coxey went off down the street and bought the biggest trunk he could find to accommodate the belongings of his wife and Httle Legal Tender when they start out this afternoon for their sum- mer residence at the George Washington House, in Bladensburg. Saturday's Excitement. Great excitement prevailed in Hyatts- ville last Saturday night. Early in the evening groups of people could be seen at the different corners of the town earnestly discussing the Coxey question. Shortly after 8 o'clock a large number of people, consisting of citizens of Riverdale and Bla- Gensburg, as well as Hyattsville, filed into | of Bladensburg, | got into argument with the citizens. Wells’ Hall, where a public meeting was to take place for the purpose of devising means for preventing Coxey's army from longer using the Little Spa woods as a camping ground. Mr. F. H. Smith, presi- dent of the board of Hyattsville commis- sioners, Was made president of the meeting, and Mr. John G. Lepper, a member of the board of Bladensburg commissioners, was chosen secretary. Dr. Wells said that the object of the meeting was to provide for the protection of the homes and property of the citizens, and to ascertain the law upon the subject from the lawyers present. Just as State's Attorney Brandt was about to be introduc- ed for a speech,it was announced that Gen. Coxey was outside for the purpose of mak- ing a speech. It was immediately decided by the meeting that Gen. Coxey should not be allowed to speak in the streets of the village, and a committece, consisting of Dr. Owens, Mr. Habercomb, Dr. Wells and Mr. Emmons, was appointed to prevent Gen. A Camp Scene. Coxey from making the speech. In the meantime the greatest excitement prevail- ed outside in front of the drug store. en- eral” Coxey was seated in his buggy, Mar- shal Browne was close by, and also a nu ber of the army of the commonweal. “Gen- eral” Coxey was told by one of the com- mittee that he could not spgak .on the | what au-/ streets. He wanted to know thority he was refused this right, and said that he would speak at any peril. The ex- citement rose high at this point, would have taken very Mitle to have pro- duced a riot. Marshal Browne became in- dignant and asked if the right of frée speech was to be denied. A number of voices said that he could not speak. Coxey insisted upon his right to speak, and one of the commissioners informed him that he would be arrested if he made the attempt. Marshal Browne then made & remark about speaking, and was told by ex-Sheriff Darnall that he would be arrested in two minutes if he did not move on. Marshal Browne, in stating his reasons feereenine to Hyattsville, laid his hand | upon the coat of Mr. Habercomb. Thi: made the latter very indignant, and he in. formed Browne if he again touched him he would regret it. While all this was taking place a man by the name of Jocl, who claimed not to belong to the commonweal army, wanted to know by what right Coxey | and Browne should be prevented from speaking. By the right. of the commis-_ ‘s said one of the board. Neither | sioners, Coxey nor Browne seemed to signify any intention of surrendering the right of what they termed “free speech” until three of the town commissioners stepped forward and told them that they objected to their speak: ing. Browne then reluctantly said, “That settles it. We are law-abiding citizens, and | will obey your orders.” Coxey remained in his buggy during all the excitement. Sud- denly a number of voices from the large crowd which had assembled in front of thi drug store shouted: “Move on! Move on. “Mr. Coxey,” said one of the commission- ers, in @ firm manner, stepping in front of the “general's” carriage, rest.”” . Coxey then drove off a short distance up > the road, followed by Browne and a number of the commonwealers. Meeting Continued. ‘The man Joel was in the meantime ar- rested, but was afterward released. Quiet being restored, the people returned to the hall, and the meeting resumed its business. The committee appointed for the purpose of informing Gen. Coxey that he could not speak in the streets was asked for its re- port, and Mr. Habercomb reported that Coxey and Browne had moved on, and that he had told that man in the leather coat, meaning Browne, when he had attempted to put his hand upon him, that if he made another such attempt he would never try it again. That he understood that a lady up the street had invited Gen. Coxey on her premises to make a speech. It was afterward learned that Coxey had not been invited to make a speech on the premises, State’s Attorney Brandt was then intro- duved and made a speech which was well received. He advised the citizens to act so that they would always have the law on their side, and not to feel alarmed, for the law would protect them. He then suggested that a vigilance committee be appointed to guard the town, and that a posse of dep- uties be atso appointed to assist the sheriff, who was present at the meeting, and said that Gov. Brown would protect the citizens with the militia in case of necessity. After promising the people that he would always be with them when foreigners were in their midst, he closed his speech amidst much applause. Mr. Habercomb Violent. L. W. Habercomb followed in a speech which was quite severe upon the Coxeyites. He said that the so-called army of peace had been cast off by Washington and had come out to camp near Hyattsville; that they | were vagrants and a ruisance, and that the man who kept such an army on his place kept a public nuisance. We must protect our firesides and families, he remarked. Marshal Browne, who was in the room at the time, happened to attract the speaker's attention, who said, in a voice of thunder, that he saw in the audience the man who had threatened him outside. He had told him then not to do it again, and he now warned him not to repeat it, and if he did so after that warning he would never have a chance of doing it again. The scene at this point was intensely dramatic, and Mr. Habercomb was loudly applauded by the audience. He spoke of having Marshal Browne put out if his pres- ence meant intimidation, amd said that if he was not put out he would do it himself. “We'll help you," shouted several of the citizens. A motion was made to the effect that Marshal Browne and the Coxeyites who were present be asked to vacate the hall, but the motion did not prevail, and they. were permitted to remain, Motions Adopted. A motion was made by Dr. Wells that a committee be appointed to wait upon the sheriff and name a sufficient number «f citizens to guard the towns of Hyattsville and Bladensburg. The motion was carried. A committee, consisting of Dr. Wells, Dr. Owens and Mr. Chas. H. Welsh, was ap- pointed. Mr. Duckett, a prominent lawyer then addressed the mest- ing. Rev. Father Russell, pastor of the Catho- lic Church, then spoke, counseling the citi- zens to use peaceful measures to protect themselves and to leave the rest with God. After Father Russell finished speaking, a motion was passed to the effect that all the on Monday and confer with Attorney Gen- eral Poe. A motion was also csrried that the name of Dr, J. Webb Rogers be stricken from the list of lawyers. The meeting then adjourned. The committee appointed wait upon the sheriff then performed its duty, and the following deputies were ap- pointed: C. W. Barr, H. O. Emmons, Clin- ton Wheelock, Robert Barron, A. Browning, Espy Buck, Harry Dobbs, William Barr, J. |F. Hickey, N.C. Darnall, Jos. Wiseman, Jos. Kanode, Fritz Damback, A. McFar- land, Alex. Du Vaughn. These men we armed with pistols and were promised to be paid the sum of §2 per day, and were duly sworn in by ex-Sheriff Darnall. A number of Coxey men were in the streets after the meeting, and some of them was no disurbanee, although Marshal Browne was several times threatened with arrest if he did not stop blocking the public road. When Coxey was informed that a rumber of deputies had been appointed, he remarked that he had already done some good in giving employment to a number of unemployed people. During the progress of the meeting Coxey managed to talk to a rumber of people who were about his car- riage. He told them that his army would rot create any disturbance, or violate any and it! “if- you do not) move on ‘in five minutes I'll order your ar-_ to! There | law, and spoke of his bills for non-interest bonds and for good roads, which would re- sult in giving work to idle men. Coxcy went to Washington on the 10:25 train that night, and Browne and the commonwealers, who amounted to about fifty in number, re- . “We won't hurt some of them said, as they went off. All night long the deputies patrolled the two towns. Some of the citizens were in a nervous state of excitement, and did not sleep. No arrests were made, except four men in Bladensburg, who were afterward released. Sheriff Dove has been in town ever since Saturday. The deputies have patrolled the streets ever since Saturday. They manage to relieve each other from duty. Mr. C. W. Barr has charge of the Hyattsville force and ex-Sheriff Darnall of the one in Bla- densburg. Citizens Denounced. Neither Browne nor Coxey was at the camp until the afternoon yesterday. Serv- ices were held there in the evening, and Marshal Browne, in a speech, arraigned the citizens of Hyattsville as cowards. Large numbers of people visited the camp yesterday, and there were more carriages in Bladensburg and Hyattsville than there have ever been at Any Sunday since the two towns were founded. Quiet seemed to pre- vail here yesterday, in spite of the large number ‘of visitors. The Coxey question was alluded to in some of the churches yes- terday. The army expects to be largely reinforced this week. The town commis- sioners will hold a meeting tonight and pass an ordinance relating to speaking on the streets. A committee of lawyers left for Baltimore this morning to confer with At- torney General Poe. The citizens of the community are determined to devise some means of ridding the place of the Coxey nuisance. A number of Coxey’s men, it is said, have deserted him. A petition is being circulated to form a military company in Hyattsville, and it has already over thirty signer: Laying Out a Camp. A Star reporter visited the new encamp- mcnt this afternoon, and the first man of importance he met was the redoubtable Cerl Browne. The marshal was apparently as happy es a boy with a padded glove and @ catcher’s mask. “What do you think of my coop detat?” he inquired, with a disregard of parlez vous Francais as striking as his band’s carelessness of harmony. “I've got those Hyattsville fellows right on the hip,” he contirued, gleefully. “They are like Ma- homet's coffin—suspended between heaven and earth—and they don’t know what in the world to do. They sent their committee «ver to Baltimore to see the attorney gen- eral this morning, and the messengers will only have their trouble for their pains. This is the permanent headquarters of the ccmmonweal, and right here we are géing to stay,and don’t you forget it. I have made perfectly satisfactory arrangements with the man who owns the lease of this land to occupy it as long as I want it, and there is no legal way by which we can be driven out of it. “I have laid out the first properly arranged camp we have yet had. Here the dia- gram, so you can see for yourself.” Browne laid dcwn a big piece of white cotton he was holding in his arms, and which might have been in tended for a flag of truce in case the irate Prince Georgians came swooping down on mischief bent, and drew out the dia- grem, which was a very good drawing of the plan of the camp, which, by the way, he has designated as Camp George Washington. At the front of the encampment is Peace Square, a grassy plot, shaded by a large apple tree, within which Browne's tent and the hospital and commissary tents are erected. The abiding places of the various communes are arranged on three sides of a quadrangle surrounding Peace Square. Each line of tents is distinguished by an illustrious name. Communes A, B and C are on Martha Washington avenue. The quartermaster’s tent and communes D and E occupy Lafayette avenue, while George Washington avenue is honored by com- munes F and G, the Philadelphia contin- gent, with Christopher Columbus Jones and the bulldog Coxey and the advance guard of the California contingent. ‘The camping place is inclosed by a fence on three sides and its rear is washed by the astern branch. The waters of this stream will have a good deal of excellent werk to perform if an olfactory view of the commonweal may be taken as an ‘ndi- | cation. The men have been working and | sleeping in heavy winter clothes for many days, and in certain senses could hold their own with any band ‘of Russian pilgrims that ever crossed the steppes, while an emigrant train when it reaches Dakota would be as the perfumes of Araby when compared to the Coxey crowd. Along the | bank of the branch is a thick growth of large trees, which affords ambrosial shade, and the ground is carpeted with a thick sod that fs most inviting. Browne said the large wagon yard adjoining the hotel and sepa- rating the encampment from the street weuld be devoted to public meetings and his panorama wagon was already in place and loaded to the muzzle with a big cari- cature in readiness for this evening’s bom- bardment. Art Notes, He had already been at work decorating the outside of the fence for the delectation of the passers by. At one end was a ter- ribly Mbellous picture of Coxey, inclosed in a medallion, which also contained the motto: “Good Roads, Good Men, Good Money.” At the other end was a reproduc- tion of Mr. Browne himself, which the “proud artist had evidently done his best to flatter. ner, It was surmounted by a dirty ban- indicating that Browne believed in on earth and good will toward Midway between these two worthies was a medallion containing a perpetration | of the classical visage of the father of his | country sufficient to arouse the most peace- | ful Son of the Revolution to running amuck | among the Coxeyites. It was equipped with the familiar “First in Peace, ete.” Browne waded through the deep dust | across the road and begged the reporter to follow, so as to get a proper view of the real beauties of his art in portraiture. While | the proper view was being ehjoyed a yel- | low dog, with unquestionable signs of the mange, ran out from beneath a passing farm wagon, made a spasmodic yelp at G, Washington's picture and fell down in a fit. Browne informed the reporter that he was going to continue his decoration of the fence if it killed every yellow dog in Prince George's county. All along the top of the fence are the banners and transparencies carried on the march from Massillon, but their inscriptions are not as striking as that upon a tree near the entrance to the bar room of the hotel. A literal reproduction of it is worthy of study. Here it is: Levy Simss i Well Diger | Cleaned & Repaired | Call in Here. ie DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Building Regulatio: ‘The Commissioners are considering a new amendment to the building regulations, which has for its object’ a change in the method of building on small or shallow lots. Heretofore builders have taken advantage of all the ground available and built the houses the full depth of the lots. This has besn the subject of much concern by the Commissioners, who believed that in the interest of health sufficient space should be left for Ifght-and ventilatian. Several conferences have been held upon this subject and the Inspector of buildings is now engaged in drafting a suitable regu- lation covering the subject. The new regu- lation will provide, if adopted, that here- after no building shall be erected within ten feet of the rear line of the lot. Abnte a Nuisance. The chief of the bureau of yards and docks has requested the Commissioners to take some action to abate the nuisance of the old sewer on Gth street southeast, just west of the navy yard. The Affidavit Sufficient. Several days ago the Baltimore and Po- to.nlac Railroad Company made ‘application to the Commissioners for permission to con- purposes of taxation. The application was accompanied by the affidavit of the attor- ney for the railroad, and the question arose whether it was competent for him to make the affidavit required. The attorney for the District in passing upon the case thiaks the affidavit of the attorney sufficient. Against Licen Bar Room. George E. Mattingly of 475 F street south- west has written a strong protest to the Commissioners against the continued li- | censing of the bar room No. 690 4 1-2 street, He says the place is within 400 feet of a | church and but a square from the Amidon | School; further, that it is a disgrace to the neighborhood and should be revoked.

A telegram from New York announces that Miss Madeline Pollard, accompanied by Miss Jennie Burke, arrived in that city from Washington yesterday afternoon, and engaged a suite of rooms at the Marlbor- ough Hotel. To a reporter who called at the hotel in the afternoon Miss Burke said that Miss Pollard had come to see her pub- Ushers about a book she has written—a kind of autobiography. Miss Burke declined to talk further about the book, excepting to say that it was all ready for publication. Miss Pollard and Miss Burke ieft the hotel as soon as they learned that Miss Pollard’s presence there was known. Little is known in this city of Miss Pol- lard’s trip to New York. Mr. Carlisle, who was one of her counsel in her suit against Mr. Breckinridge, said to a Star reporter this morning that he knew nothing of her going nor of the reasons that took her prone —. his oe there was a mistake ere, and he did not cr — gn New York.

Co. Senator McMillan this morning presented to the Senate the favorable report of the District committee upon Senate bill 1952, amending the charter of the Washington and Great Falls Electric Railway Company. The committee amended the bill very ma. — nie purpose of these amendments Well shown fi repo! tee aa Bets in the rt of the commit- “The subject of an Washing - hang +4 road between Cabin John bridge, has gress for many: years. During the = Second Congress an act was fussed Wty porating the Washington and Great Falls Rallway Company. In that act it was pro- vided that the road should not use the surface of the Canal road, but should come into Georgetown by an overhead structure. This provision was made because of the large amount ‘of travel over the narrow canal road. At that time, however, there was no other way of solving the problem of allowing the railway to enter George- town, and at the same time preserving the rights of the public on the Canal road. Sub- sequently, however, a means of getting in- to Georgetown was found by way of Pros- pect street, and to this method of approach no objections have been raised. The object of the present bill is to change the route at the Georgetown end of the road, so that the route of the Washington and Great Falls electric line shall begin on the tracks of the Georgetown and Tenleytown rail- way at the sovth end of M street, and shall run over the tracks of that com- pany to Prospect street; thence along Pros- pect street to a point where that strest in- tersects the Canal road; thence on land to be acquired by the company, and wholly outside of any road, to and across the Fox- hall road, and thence on land to be ac- quired by the company to the Conduit road. and along and outside of that road and the property pertaining thereto to V street; thence across ‘the Conduit route of the Washington and Great Falls electric road, as originally provided for in the existing charter. The committee has taken pains to recommend a route which will not interfere with the public uses of | any of the District road@ and to preserve all the restrictions embodied in the orig- inal act. The report of the committee in favor of the changes in the bill is unani- mous.” The bill was placed on the calendar of the Senate. To Make Marriage Returns. Senator Harris today, by request, intro- duced in the Senate a Dill, the necessity for which has already been forcibly shown in The Star, providing for making returns to the clerk’s office of marriage services in the District. The bill provides “that all persons who are authorized by law to solemnize the rites of marriage in the Dis- trict of Columbia are hereby directed to make return to the clerk’s office of the Supreme Court of the District of any mar- riage service performed by them from the date of said ceremony. A failure to make such return shall subject the person per- forming such marriage service to a fine of $100 for each and every offense, uyon con- viction in the Police Court of the District of such negligence The bill referred to the District committee. Stone Flagging fer Sidewalks. Mr. Baldwin has introduced a bill in the House providirg that all sidewalks here- after laid or repaired in the District shall be“with stone or improved imita- ton stone. In front of stables, mills, ware- houses or other places where teaming is necessary, authority ray be given to use smooth block pavement. A Feast of Planked Shad.
