Hughes in 1881, soon:after he took charge of St. Teresa's Catholic parish, Anacostia, as rector, was celebrated last evening for the thirteenth time to the great satisfac- tion of all interested. Large tables, deco- rated with smilax, were placed in the Sun- day school room in the basément of the church, and shortly after 5 o'clock the two hundred children of the school were told to be seated. On the tables the beneficiaries found everything that was nice in the way of eatables, the menu comprising turkey, oysters, salads of various kinds and many of the choicest delicacies of the season. As each one was leaving the table he 6r was presented with a box of candy and an orange. A very pleasant feature of the evening was the informal presentation by the teachers to Father Hughes of three very handsome pieces of French china for his table use. Father Hughes had not been informed of the intended present and wa: completely surprised at the gift. The en- tire affair Was in charge of the teachers of the school, viz: Mrs. Ella Hardy and the Misses Nettie Diggs, Sarah Bevan, Nellie Queid, Rosa Casper, Nellie Leonard, Jen- nie Coleman, Anna Coleman, Nellie Hardy, Mame Casper, Alice Reagan, Lizzie Gran- ger, Eva-Brauma, Gertie Leonard, Jennie Bartley and Ethel Rowland, and they were rendered invaluable assistance by Mr. Thomas Moore, superintendent of the school, and Messrs. George Casper and Raymond Bevan. During the thirteen years that Father Hughes has had charge of St Teresa's parish the growth has been wonderful. He came to a congregation which appeared ‘like a speck so far as members were concerned, but he has now gathered together for worship not only a flourishing Sunday school, but a congrega- tion of about 1,500, and comprising besides residents of Anacostia many from St. Eliza- beth, Congress Heights, Good Hope, Gar- field’ and Twining City. The proposed mass meeting of members of all the Protestant churches in Anacos- tia at the Methodist Episcopal Church for the purpose of uniting in a watch night vervice on New ¥ear eve will-not be car- ried out on account of the members of the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches de- siring to hold separate. services in their own churches respectively. The Baptists will, however, unite with the Methodists for the occasion, and their pastor, Rey. Hugh T. Stevenson, and Rev. James Mc- Laren will each make an address. The services at Garden Memorial Presbyterian Church will, it is expected, consist of short talks by the pastor, Rev. J. B. North, the offering of prayer at suitable intervals by the deacons and elders, while the mem- bers of the Christian Endeavor Society will also take part. 2 See HYATTSVILLE.

One of the most Interesting events of the holiday season occurring.in Brookland was the quiet wedding on Christmas eve of Miss Ela Gruandyke Williamson of Eck- ington and Mr. George L. Mertz. Miss Williamsen was a former’ resident of Brookland, and a very great favorite in social circles here. Rev. Robert R. West performed the ceremony at his home on Providence street, this being the first mar- riage to be solemnized in the new par- sonage of the Queenstown-Baptist Church.

The Brightwood and Takoma foot ball team played at the Rockville fair grounds the famous two-hundred-weight team of that town, which resulted in a defeat for the heavy men, the score being 4 to 0. Ly- man and Weaven of the B. and T. Club made long runs around the ends, and: the tackling and interference of the whole team was excellent. They have now issued a challenge to play all comers of their class. The residents of Brightwood are com- plaining heavily over the need of sidewaiks in this section. Some time ago the District Commissioners promised flag stones, pro- vided the property owners would lay them at their own expense; this w: willingly agreed to, but yet the material has rot been furnished. The short section of 16th street extended, lying hetween the Military and A roads, is being cut and graded. It is hoped the superintendent of roads will, in connec- tion with this work, do something toward the improvement of Brightwood avenue, which is in @ most rough condition. : Bud Murphy of “Chillum Castle” {s lying quite {ll at his home, the result of injuries recetved on Christmas night in quarrel with several Georgetown car stable men.

Commissioner Wright Tells What the Chicago Strike Demonstrated. Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright addressed the American Economic Asso- ciation in convention at New York yester- day on the importance of the Chicago strike. Commissioner Wright said in the course of his remarks. “There is now pending in Congress a measure which is state socialism pure and simple. 1 refer to the pooling bill now pending in the Senate. This pend- ing legislation is demanded at the instance of the shippers and the railroads of the country, and its passage is being aided by @ powerful lobby in their service. The rail- roads base their advocacy of the bill on the claim that it will be for the interest of the shippers to have such a law. The bill pro- vides for a great trust, with the govern- ment of the United States as the trustee. “When the first bill to regulate commerce was passed the great and powerful wedge of state socialism was driven one-quarter of its length into the timber of conserva- tive government, of that government which means democracy. The pending bill, the moment it becomes a law, wil. ‘rive the wedge three-quarters of its leng.. inte the timber. There will then be needed but one more blow to drive the wedge home, and that blow will come at the instance of business and not of labor—entire govern- ment control of all the railroads of the country instead of partial control under the laws now existing or proposed. Government Control of Roads, “This blow will be struck in the most seductive way. It will come through a de- mand that the government shall take charge of the roads, not purchase them— shall teke charge of the roads, and out of the proceeds of the transportation business guarantee to the existing stockholders of the roads a small but reasonable rate of dividend. Under such a seductive move- ment the stockholders themselves, con- servative men, men in this;hall now, will vote for, the striking of the blow. “I can now answer why it is that the Chicago strike is epochal in its influence as a subordinate phese of a silent revolu- tion—a revolution pPobably in the interest of the public welfare. It is because the events of that strike logically demiand that another declaration of law and of the prin- ciples of the federal government shall be made; a declaration that all wages paid, as well as charges for any service rendered in the transportation of property, passen- gers, etc. all be reasonable and just. A declaration of this character, backed by the machinery of the government to carry It into effect, would give to railroad em- Ployes the status of quasi public servants. “The machinery accompanying such a declaration should be modeled on the in- terstate commerce act. It should be pro- vided that some authority be: established for the regulation of wage contracts on railroads, not for a compulsory adjust- ment, as now provided for the adjustment of freight rates, so that there would be little inducement uncer it on the part of railroads to pay unjust and unreasonable wages, and on the part of employes to quit’ work when they were just and reasonable. I think I recognize the distMction which you of the Economic Association would make between government adjustment of freight rates and like adjustment of wage rates, and I fully agree that while gov- ernment can fix the compensation of its own employes, it cannot and ought not to attempt arbitrarily to fix that of the em- ployes of railroads; but 1 further recog- nize that it is the right and duty of gov- ernment to prevent the interruption of in- terstate commerce and the obstruction of the mails, and that in the exercise of this right it ought to have a voice in making the terms and adjusting the conditions of the employment of the employes engaged in such service.” —___ TALL BUILDINGS. They Are Considered Dangerous and Unsanitary. From the Popular Health Magazine. The law in Washington which restricts the height of buildings is one which should be imitated in other large cities. Not only are tall buildings dangerous, but they are Mable to be unsanitary in the lower stories. The architects have heretofore made a large aieel frame or cage, which is encased in a solid base, and around this the lofty structure is built, but the danger of corrosion of the frame and the impos- sibility of getting at the defects in such a building have induced the best architects to build the frame first and then anchor the building ac:ound it, so that the frame can be examined from the inside and de- fects repaired in it. High buildings shut out light and air and make ventilation, except in the upper stories, very difficult. A paper once gave a picture of the future appearance of Chi- cago, with its lofty buildings, making every street look like a deep ravine. Builders and architects should have restrictions placed on their work, and the building in- spector should not only be a competent builder and architect himself, but he should know something about sanitation, and give proper attention to lighting, heating and ventilation. In- Washington the height of a-building is governed by the width of the street on which it fronts, and such a law should be enacted and enforced in other large cities, where the streets are narrower and the commercial aspect of the city more prominent. ——_-+e+_____ Bank Directors Arrested. ‘The directors and managers of the Com- mercial Bank at St. Johns, N..F., were ar- rested yesterday on warrants igsued by Judge Conroy. They are charged with presenting a false statement of the bank's condition at the last annual meeting by including among the assets of the bank securities which were hypothe- cated to the London and Westminster Bank in order to offset overdrafts on it. The warrants were issued on the initiative of Dr. Skelton of the board of trustees, the beard authorizing them. Among the di- rectors is A. F. Goodridge, ex-premier of Newfoundland. : Bail will be accepted for all the prisoners. Publishe# McLaughlin’s Wedding. Frank McLaughlin, publisher of the Phil- adelphia Times, and Mrs. Martha A. Holmes of Philadelphia were married there Wednesday. The ceremony was performed by Archbishop Ryan at the cathedral. The only persons present were the menibers of the immediate families of the contracting parties. The bridal party left that night for a short tour. MR. COMSTOCK, INVOLVED Grave Accusation MédorBefore the Lexow i ov Said to Have Received $1,000 for Ceas- ing Prosecution of a “Green Goods” Man — He; Denies It. ix Bix.3 After The Star's ‘tepo?t of the Lexow committee's investigatidh in New York closed yesterday, Ingpect$r Williams being on the stand, was asked:. _ “Did an officer named Willigan report robbery in panel-houses to you when you were in the eighth precinct?” “I don’t remember.” “Do you remember the number of in- mates in the eighty-three houses of ill- fame?" “No. I may have stated what the num- ber was. I may have asked the proprie- tress of eac:. house how many inmates she had.” The witness and Mr. Goff then had a lit- tle tiff. Inspector Williams objected to the document from which Mr. Goff read. “I don’t know where you got it,” said he, nd it is a long time ago.” ‘Don’t mind where I got it,” said Mr. Goff. “It contains matters that have been sup- pressed by the police department.” “They suppressed a good many things about you, you know.” “They seemed to have suppressed every- thing good,” was Williams’ reply. Then Mr. Gott mage some inquiries about Williams’ Japanese possessions. Williams said that they lay in Hakodate, in the northern part of Japan, and that the tile papers were in the possession of Frederick Wilkie, who was once commercial agent for the United States government. Mr. Goff reminded Wiiams that no for- eigner could hold Japanese land except in treaty ports. Williams said this was a treaty port. Mr. Goff replied that the con- sul general of Japan had told him that it was impossible for a foregner to own prop- erty in Hakodate at the time Wilnams ciaimed to have bought his, because there had been no treaty, and therefore the port was not a treaty port. Williaine then left the stand for a brief time. Dr. Walsh was called and testified that Capt. Meakin was not able to be about and probabiy would not be for several days. “Now, doctor,” said Mr. Goff, in his sweetest tones, “will you bear this message to Capt. Meakin: “Teil him he has been ac- cused before this committee of being guilty of bribery and corruption. It, has been stated that he has grown rich on the fruit of this corruption. Now tell him, also, that if he is an honest man’ he will come here in obedience to the subpoena served on him,’ "” ‘The doctor then left the stand. Then Dr. Daniel I. Donovan, one of the police surgeons, gave a synopsis of the Procedure of the police surgeons with re- gard to men reported ill, The witness said he had reported Capt. Meakin tll. “How much did you pay for your ap- pointment?” “Nothing. Who appointed you?" ‘ommissioner Maclean. Mayor Gilroy used his influence for me, as he was a friend of mine. I was a member of Tam- many Hall. I asked several well-known political friends to ‘use ‘their influence fur me. I had passed the etvil-service exam- ination. I was recommended by several prominent physicians.” The Inspector Resumes. Inspector Williams was recalled. He said he knew of t..ce»panel houses in the eighth precinct. “You swore before ‘recess that there were no panel houses in the precinct?” “Yes, to the best of my recollection.” Senator O'Connell then entered into a long legal argument with Mr. Goff as to whether the inspector was guilty of per- jury. The senator held he was hot unless the testimony was given with a false and corrupt intention. Mr. Goff said that the inspector might have been mistaken. “Yes,” said the witness, “I admit that what I swore this morning was false, but when I gave it I believed it to be true.” “Might there not have been more than one panel house in the district?” “Yes. Do you know what a panel house his question by Williams created laugh- ter, and Mr. Goff lectured him about giv- ing his testimory in a more becoming manner. “I only want to give my evidence straight,” said the witness. “Sergt. Grew swore that in these & houses of ill-fame there were 346 inmates. He swore that he made complaints of these houses to you, This evidenwe was given before the commission. Is it true “I can’t say.” “Was it not when these charges were brought up that your Cismissal was de: manded by one of the commissioners a3 an incompetent and dirgraceful man?” “He did nothing of the kind Mr. Goff continued to question the in- spector as to the disorderly houses. The pector admitted it was his duty to ais- cover and suppress them. This ended the examination of Insycctor Williams. Charges Against Anthony Comstock. Louis 8. Streep, a green goods operator, was called This witness crested a sensa- tion by telling a story involving Authony Comstock. “On May 28, 1889," said Streep, “two in- dictments were found against me for oper- ating in green goods. Anthony Comstock was the prosecutor. Comstock told me that if I would give up the name of my ac- complice I should get off with a light pun- ishment. I refused to do so. Edward Bechtal called and gave my wife $5,000 in bills. ‘The bail was at that time $5,000, but was reduced shortly after to $3,000. In August, 1800, I called on Comstock with my brother, who told me that the state in- dictment would be dismissed on payment of $1,000, Comstock said: ‘Mind, the $1,000 is not in the shape of a bribe. It is a sub- scription to the society.’ I asked whether, if I paid him the money, I might not be brought up at all. On Comstock’s promise I paid him $1,000, of which I got $300 from my brother and 0 from my prin office at 76 Beekman street, which I gold. On the following Friday the indictment was dismissed.” Mr. Goff produced the indictments, which bore in indorsement, bearing date Septem- ber 20, 1890, that the district attorney hav- ing moved ‘that for reasons affecting the administration of law, the indictment was dismissed. “Comstock subsequently called on me and asked me to swear that Lechtal was an ac- complice of mine. I refused, and he threat- ened to bring me before the United States court. I asked him for time to consider the matter. Bechtal was arrested on the charge of stealing $100 from the American Express Company. He was brought before Commissioner Shields. Negotiations were carried on with him by Comstock and he paid Comstock $1,000. The following day he was discharged. United States District Attorney John A. Mott also got $1,000, “I was then arrested and employed Law- yer Hess. I told all about Comstock to Commissioner Shields. Comstock was ask- ed to tell what happened in his office, but declined to do beg was held for trial, and was convicted of the charge of issuing en goods cireniags last June. My case been appealed.” a Robert Streep, brother of Louis, corrobo- rated the foregoing»testimony. Mr. Goff said that the committee, while inquiring into the abuseg of the police de- partment, had a perfect right to inquire into the administration f the law so far as the state was concerned, and that was the reason he had submitted this evidence. It had been shown that green goods opera- tors could escape punishment by bribing Mr. Comstock, the agent for the Society for the Suppression of Vice. The committee adjourned until today. Mr. Comstock Declares It Perjary. Anthony Comstock said last night: “If Streep made any such statement before the. Lexow committee it is rank and infamous perjury. i AUCTION SALES. ee ee Bond Syndicate Dissolves. ‘The govetnment bond syndicate has dis- solved after disposing of 35 per cent of the igsue.
