Wilson, in charge of public buildings and grounds, fresh from the government printing office, centains many interesting things that were rot included in the brief synopsis of he report furnisted the press a few weeks egoeas a part of the report of the chief of engineers. For instance, Col. Wilson says that the following reservetions claimed as the prop- erty of the United States are now occupted, it is believed, without authority of law: Reservations Nes. 113, 127 and 197, by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company. Reservation No. 226 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Reservation No. 125, by the Central Union Mission as a place of worship. Reservation No. 186, by the Bethany Chapel of the New York Avenue Presby- terian congregation. Reservation No. 26, intersection of Canal and N. sireet soutn and Ist street west; oceupied by a party who built a frame house thereon in 1888; this case has been im the hands of the United States district attcrney for the District of Columbia for the past six years. vation No. 249 is occupied us a lum- ber yard by a party who claims to rent it from a gentleman in Port Deposit, Md. Reservations Nos. 137, 158, 141, 152, 164 and 160 have been inclosed with iron or wire fences and partially improved by the owners of adjacent property. Crowded White House. In a chapter deseript've of repairs and improvements to the Executive Mansion and grounds during the past year, Col. Wilson invites attention to the importance of pro- viding suitable offices for the President of the United States outside of the present Executive Mansion. “Surely the people of this great nation,” he says, “can afford to Provide for its chief magistrate, outside of his home, a place where the immense busi- news incident to his exalted position may re- ceive attention. “Congress, in its wisdom, over forty years ago, made provision for the enlargement of the Capitol by the construction of new wings, on account of the growing business of the country, and again within a few years has ordered the erection of a maz: nificent library building, so that the Con- gressional Library might be removed from the Capitol. ‘No steps, however, have been taken for erlarging the Executive Mansion, which today, with the exception of interior and exterior ornamentation and improvement, remains as it was wheu first occupied by President Adams at the beginning of the present century. “It is a fact well known to all that the enormous crowds assembling at ofticial evening receptions, as well as the demands for more rooms for the entertainment from time to time of the nation’s guests, long since required either the enlargement of the White House or the transfer of the office rooms of the President to some con- venient locality. “Efforts to enlargé the mansion havo failed, and again I earnestly suggest that a structure suitable for office purposes shall be provided at an early day, either east or west of the main build and opposite the Treasury Department or the State, War and Navy building. If erected oppo- the® treasury building, it could be con- wide with a large s a winter garden, gallery opening into serve double g the mansion of the h incident to t ening of- ions which take place during tly hope that Cong will give this important matt peedy attention, so that, if possible, the new structure may be completed at least by the spring of 189; Improvements Asked. Estimates are submitted for the improve- al reservations. For reserva- . immediately north of the navy yar is requested. ‘The for the finpro nt of reservation No. 20, Howard University Park, ts $25,000, This reservation, Col. Wil- #on says, is admirably located for a public perk, for pleasure grounds, picnics, ete., Gnd for other assemblages of the people, being within a few squares of the ter- minal stations of four city and suburban railroad lines. He says it the projected im- nts are made this park will soon e of resort, and will siteve the city parks proper, which, he hinks, should receive a higher grade of improvement. It is designed, he says, to preserve, as fully as p: ent rative forest growth of oaks, and to form additional plantings of other varietios of ornamental trees and shrubs, bounding the park on all sides, so that there may be many shaded walks and drives in the sum- mer and autumn, opening out into sunny glades in the more central portions of the grounds. It is proposed to construct gravel walks and roads, terraces, drinking foun- tains, electric lights, and to request the District government to lay sidewalks around the reservation. Hancock Place. Three thovsand dollars is asked for the improvement of Hancock Place, corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue, which has been selected as the site for the statue of Gen. Hancock. In regard to this reser- vation, Col. Wilson says: “It {s proposed to construct a circle of 120 feet in diameter, in which a circular mound, # feet in diameter, will be formed &round the pedestal of the statue, the circle and the mound to be inclosed with a dressed granite curd. There will be raised grass plats, and a small circular mound at the west end of the reservation, planted in part with low-growing flowering shrubs, forming a foreground of pretty parklets. The entire pavement within and around the reservation is designed to be of one character, preferably granolithic. It 1g suggested that the prominent location of this reservation on one of the principal thoroughfares merits the highest type of park improvement, not only to be in keep- ing with its surroundings, but to prove attractive ornament to our capital city. On the Avenue. An estimate of $5,4# ts submitted for the improvement of reservation No. southeast corner of Pennsylvania avenue and lith st b Col. Wilson say “It is cont ated to remove the old soft trees now bordering this small park which hav ved their useful- ness, and have lost their ornamental char- acter; to raise the gra > center about two and a halt £ Pi nt level, and to rom this point to the ma’ the reserv n; to con- struct boundary walls and orna- mental piers, coping, wing walls, etc.; to Inclose the reservation, entrances, with an or ing; to introduce wat @ handsome fountat inclosed with an orr except at certain mental stone cop- pipe; to constru vith basin suitabiy nental stone copin and to purchase three large iron vases to be placed at walk intersections. It is also proposet to construct granolithic paths and sidewalks. The pliant 3 will consist of flowering shrubs and a fev trees of medium-sized growth of a dec! mental character. It 1s ez that funds will be approp prominent locality.” Ornamental Wa He also advocates the removal of the President's stables, now manifestly out of place in front of the State Department, and also suggests that the old rubble ma- sonry wall, capped with a worn-down sandstone coping and surmounted by an old tron railing, bounding the grounds of the White House on {ts north front aloug the principal avenue of the city, be re- moved and give piace to a substantial and ornamental structure more in keep- ‘ng with its prominent location and sur- le, the pres- | | eration of Labor said yesterday, at Denver, | regarding the decision of Judge Wood in roundings. For many years it bore suita- ble comparison with the sidewalks in front of it and those leading to the mansion, but as the former have been replaced with a granolithic pavement and the latter will be replaced in a similar manner this summer, it is hoped, he says, that a hand- some wall with an ornamental railing will soon be authorized on the north side of the mansion. Drill Grounds. In regard to the proposed improvement of the President's park, south of the White House, Col. Wilson says: “It is oval in form, end is surrounded with @ smooth, wide gravel roadway, whioh has recently become one of the prin- cipal drives of the capital. It was designed by the celebrated landscape artistic gar- dener, A. J. Downing, with the view of having on the public grounds an open area of sufficient extent for military evolutions, parades, reviews, etc., and I earnestly hope that it may never be disfigured with struc- tures of any character. “It has been frequently used for drills and parades by our citizen-soldiers, and by visiting military companies from other cities. Some years since a competitive drill lasting several days took place in the park, and recently the ground was occu- pied by the Grand Army of the Republic in their memorable reunion. On all of these occasions it has been apparent that a wid» walk around the parade would be @ desirable feature, and afford safe stand- ing room, out of the way of passing ve- hicles, for spectators, as well as a path for pedestrians visiting the locality. With this object in view it is proposed to construct an asphalt walk, fifteen feet wide, around the outer portion of the ellipse, separating it from the carriage road by a parking thirty feet wide. “The American elm trees now bordering the parade would afford partial shade to this walk, as well as to the roadway; at all the principal outlets of the park to surrounding streets wide walk openings would be made to connect with these roads, and walk outlets for the convenience of the public. “It is estimated that the approximate cost of this walk, with its approaches, necessary drains, drain lodges, etc., wili be $10,500, its construction is earnestly recom- mended.” Overhead Wires. Attention is again invited to the fact that it is becoming more and more difficult to operate the government overhead tele- graph system, owing to the growth of trees along the line, which interrupt the electric currents, especially during wet and windy Weather. Col. Wilson says that the neces- sity for either replacing the present poles with taller ones or cqnstructing a system of underground cable is so apparent as scarcely to need argument in its favor. He adds that the time for obstructing the Streets with telegraph poles and a network of wires has passed, and it 1s earnestiy urged that the necessary appropriation for the underground system of telegraph connecting the Capitol with the various de- partments and the government printing ice shall be made available as soon as practicable. It is earnestly recommended that the sys- tem of electric lights now in operation up- on many of the streets and avenues of the city of Washington be gradually extended to the public grounds. With the gas lamps now in use in the parks the illumination is far from satisfactory, Col. Wilson says, and in the interest of morality, as well as the welfare of those visiting and passing through the parks after dark, it is desired to make then as brilliant as possible at night. LABOR IN POLITICS, PI form Adopted by the Federation at Denver. A red hot fight broke out in the conven- tion hall of the American Federation of Labor yesterday at Denver, as announced briefly in The Star dispatches. It was over the “political program” submitted by the last convention to the various unions. John F. Tobin ef the Boot and Shoe workers asserted that the presidents, sec- retaries and other officers of labor organ- izations used their positions to secure political election and appointment. Objections came from a dozen men, in- cluding President Gompers and Secretary Evans, Mr. Tobin remarked that such a show of feeling was all the proof that he wanted that his shot had hit the mark. President Gompers denounced as a lie the general charge which had included him and defied Mr. Tobin or any other dele- gaie to point to a vulnerable place in his areer as to honesty. He charged that it was a cowardly attack upon organized labor. A_ political platform involving the fol- lowing planks was adopted: 1. Compulsory education. 2. Direct legislation, through referendum. 3. A legal eight-hour working day. 4. Sanitary inspection of workshops, mines and homes. 5. Liability of employes for injury to health, body or life. 6. The abolition of contract system in all public work. 7. Tha abolition of the sweating system. 8. The municipal ownership of street cars and gas electric plants for public distribu- tion of light, heat and power. 9. The nationalization of telegraphs, tele- phones, railroads and mines. 10. The ownership by the people of all means of production and distribution. —-ce+- LABOR LEADERS ARE ANGRY. They Denounce the Decision of Judge Wood's in the Debs Case. President Gompers of the American Fed- the contempt case: “I think it contempti- ble for any judge to take from a citizen of the United States the right of trial by jury. If Mr. Debs is guilty of any criminal act a jury of his peers should be allowed to say so. I denounce the action of any judge who shows himself so eager to do the bid- ding of the corporations.” Patrick McBride, secretary of the United Mine Workers, said: “I think the decision is an outrage. I do not believe the inten- tion of the law under which the injunction was issued was to include labor organiza- tions. There has been no decision by the Supreme Court In the matter. It seems to me that the court should have remitted the penalty. Instead of that it has strain- ed the law to reach the decision and infilet severe punishment upon the first man tried for its violation.” John K. O'Sullivan of Boston: “I have expected this decision, and it now only re- mains for us to see that the case goes to the highest tribunal.” A. McGrath of the Typographical Union, Bosten, sald: “I think the methods of the Peomte in power are tending toward revolu- ion.” D: pre Joun Burns was Springs. id Holmes of London declined to ex- 3 an opinion upon the Debs matter. visiting in Colorado rr A Flag Incident. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am one of many citizens whose homes front on the Capitol grounds, and whose pride is mortified and patriotism insulted by the disgraceful scene of the American flag hanging upside down on the beautiful Capitol building. At this moment (7:30 a.m., December 13) the flag over the west in entrance is so displayed, and as this raceful thing has been several times one, to my personal knowledge and dis- { wish to call the attention of the sowers that be to the propriety of at- such penalty to the carelessness as to forever render a repetition of the E.

Chap- man, the indicted sugar trust witnesses, was concluded in the Court of Appeals yesterday District Attorney Birney speak- tng on behalf of the government, and | Mr. Shellaberger on behalf of the defend- ants. At the conclusion of the arguments the court took the case under advisement, reserving its decision. As the court ad- journed today until the first Monday in January, a decision in the case is not ex- pected before then irs. M. R.

N.W. 415-144 IN THE CHURCHES About ten weeks ago, or, to be more ex- act, on the 30th of September last, a num- ber of Methodists met tn the dining room of a house at Del Ray, » for the pur- pose of forming a church organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Rev. Dr. A. Isaac W. Canter of the Mount Vernon Methodist Church South was at the head of the movement, and it is largely due to his efforts that success has been achieved. Rev. Mr. Canter’s idez was that some sort of a place of worship should be built as soon as possible, and he immediately be- gan to take the necessary steps. In the meantime services were held every Sunday afternoon in houses of the different mem- bers, Dr. Canter and two ministers of the church in this city officiating. The Sunday school, which began with sixteen scholars, has increased to fifty-seven, Mr. Isaac P. Arnold serving then, now, superin- tendent. A lot was purchased on which to build a church, and when that was secured a con- tractor and his men went to work to cig the foundation for the new edifice. The little church, or rather chapel, will be opened tomorrow for the first time for divine service. The building is Gothic in design and has an auditorium capable of seating fully two hundred. There is a vestibule and a chancel with recessional pulpit. The walls are of wood without, and of adamant plaster within, supporting overhead an open-work roof of pine. For the present plain wooden chairs will be used for seating the congregation, but in the near future it is proposed to put in patent folding chairs. In the south wall and just over the vestibule is a large win- dow, lighted by cathedral glass. On Friday evening of last week a reunion of all the sodalities connected with the parish of St. Aloysius Church took place in the auditorium of that church, a large num- ber of the members being in attendance. The services began at 4 o'clock for the| juniors and at 7:30 o'clock in the evening for the senior sodalities.* Rev. John A. Con- way, S. J., who had prepared the society by spiritual retreat of eight days, preached. ‘The North Capitol M. E. Church Epworth League Chapter held its regular election of officers on Wednesday of last week. For the ensuing year Mr. Hutson was placed in charge of all of the spiritual work, Miss Warfield, in charge of mercy and help; Mrs. Symonds, literary work, and Mr. Ayres will attend to all matters of a social character. ‘The meetings of the chapter usually have about 200 persons in attendance, and the new cabinet is regarded as one fitted for vigorous work. The Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. Mr. Jenifer is pastor,through its Society of Christian Endeavor and King’s Daughters and the Sunday school, has been very active this winter in charity work. The Bethel Society has secured H. S. C. Astwood and Miss Ida B. Wells for ad- dresses on dates in the near future, Rev. G. N. Luccock, D. D., pastor of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, will de- liver a series of*three addresses at the men’s meetings, Sunday afternoons, Y. M. Cc. A. The subject for Christmas Sunday will be “Magnifying Christ,” and for the last Sunday of the old year, “The Final Appeal.” An interesting feature of these men’s meetings is the singing by so large a company of men. The United Brethren Church of which Rev. J. E. Fout is the pastor will soon complete the second year of its existence, during which time there has been an_in- crease of about 110 members. Great effort is being made to relieve the church of all debt. There remains unpaid but 33,000, of which $4,000 will be presented to the church if $500 can be raised by Christmas. The pastor and members are exerting them- selves in this direction, The Christian En- deavor Society of the church has chosen officers as fdllows: President, Mr. E. Kern; vice president, Mr. G. Grier; corresponding secretary, Mrs. A. Topham; recording sec- retary, Miss B. Spies; organist, Miss Etta Searles. During Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day evenings of last week the parishioners and friends of Trinity P. E. Church were given an opportunity to inspect the fine new parish house. The occasion was an informal house-warming, the formal open- ing to probably take place some time next week, on which occasion Bishop Paret will make the address. Extensive preparations are being made at St. Aloysius Church for the celebration of Christmas day and its attendant week of festivities. The church will be beautifully decorated with evergreens and holly. Sol- emn high mass will be celebrated at 5 o'clock In the morning. At 8 o'clock mass Monsignor Satolli will preside, and there will be a mass at 11 o'clock, and a vesper service at 7:30. Special music will be ren- dered by a quartet, assisted by a choir of oo voices and accompanied by an orches- ra. The ladies of the Church of the Reforma- tion are very actively engaged at present in missionary and charitable work, and have shipped to a western community a couple of boxes of supplies. During the absence of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Parson, at Gettysburg last Sunday, Rev. Mr. Hamma conducted the service: The young people of the Fifth Conrre- gational Church gave a social at the rest- dence of Mrs. Hall on Friday evening of last week, which was much enjoyed by those present. Rev. E. A. Johnson of the Lincoln Me- morial Church has been unable to be pres- ent at the services for the past two weeks, his place being taken by two young men from Howard University. Mr. Johnson hopes to resume his work very soon. Parlor talks are given on Friday even- irgs of each week at the Young Men's Christian Association. On the 7th instant Prof. J. L. Ewell of Howard University talked about the Bible in the light of re- cent discoveries, and last evening Prof. Hazen of the signal service had as his sub- ject ‘Meteorological Freaks.” Dr. Siel- don Jackson of the bureau of education will speak about Alaska, and the closing address will be made by Rev. F. D. Power of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, who will tell what he knows of “Block- heads.’ ° ‘This year the children belonging to the Sunday school of Hamline M. E. Church will hold their Christmas festival Wednes- day before Christmas, but instead of re- celving presents will bring useful things to be given to the poor of the neighbor- hood. The Sunday school of Foundry Metho- dist Episcopal Church will hold its Christ- mas celebration the night after Christmas. New music for the occasion is now being rehearsed, the selections being taken from Miss Emma Pitt's “The Best Gift.” This will be supplemented by a song by the scholars of the primary department and recitations and readings, mainly by the little folks of the school. ‘The arrange- ments are in the hands of a committee, subdivided as follows: On program, Mr. William B. Matthews, chairman of general committee; Mr. F. A. Wilson, chorister; Mrs. I. O. Ball, Miss Townsend and Miss Emma Teller; on decorations, Miss Stine- metz, Mr. Roe, Mrs. Roe, Mr.Cleveland and Mr. Bair; on refreshments, Mr. Bains, Mrs. Bains and Mrs. Woolard; on gifts for pri- mary department, Miss Townsend, Miss Brown and Miss Duck; on gifts to the poor, Mrs. Altschu, Miss Porter, Mr. Lindsay, Mrs. Lindsay and Miss Wells. ~ AUCTION SALES. < FUTUR DAYS.
