Casey, chief of the corps of engin- eers of the army and president of the Rock Creek Park commission, is outspoken in his opposition to the proposed use of Rock creek as an outlet for the sewage of Ken- sington, Md. He said to a Star reporter today that Rock creek wes one of the chief attractions of the park and should never be degraded into a sewer. If it were a straight, deep, swiftly running stream, it might possibly carry off whatever polluted matter was emptied into it, but such is not the case.

A Bad Thing for the District. He said it stood to reason that the use of the creek in the manner proposed would be a bad thing for the residents of the Dis- trict, and, without even considering its hurtfulness from a sanitary standpoint, he would say, for the sake of Rock Creek Park alone, that it should not be per- mitted. He had read the views of Gen. Beynton and Mr. Ross Perry on the sub- ject, as printed in The Star, and indorsed them heartily. Although he had not in- vestigated the matter he felt satisfied that there was a legal way of preventing the Proposed pollution of Rock creek. Would Stand by Legal Proceedings. Mr. Perry, he said, was a lawyer and knew more about such things than he did, and it was certain that if he should ad- vise legal proceedings for the protection of the park, the members of the commis- sion would stand by him. Gen. Casey sald that the question had not been considered by the commission, and he was not sure that the case-called for any action on their part. What he did know, however, was that it would be a great wrong to make a sewer of Rock creek. From the Kensington Point of View.

Rock creek in its meanderings traverses more than two miles before it reaches the so-called ‘Rock Creek Park’ and is fed in its course by a number of spring-fed streams, which, with the rainfall, flush and purify its waters. 5 The danger of early contamination of the water of Rock creek to a degree that will endanger anybody's or anything’s health is extremely remote so far as Kensington is concerned.

This is capable of mathematical demonstration if any one cares to take the trouble. There are more impurities poured into Rock creek from the point where it leaves the Zoological Park to its mouth, by several hundred per cent, than the little stream gets throughout its entire course from the source to where it enters- ‘Rock Creek Park.’ Before Wash- ington arises in its might to smite Kensing- ton on account.of a supposed ‘mote’ it should remove its very apparent ‘beam.’ In conclusion I beg to submit that the peo- ple of Kensington are humane and have no wish to add an atom, a bacteria or a mi- crobe to the already burdened atmosphere of Washington, but they recognize the force of the primal law of ‘self-preserva- tion’ and propose to observe it.” —_—.——_ Im Defense of the Children’s Hospital, To the Editor of The Evening Star: “It is doubtful if any rule of charity or humanity will excuse the action of the hospital authorities in sending the woman back into the streets, there perhaps to spread infection, with the certain knowl- edge that the child would die in her arms if medical attendance were not promptly secured.” ‘The above extract from an editorial in The Star of Monday presents a probably natural, but certainly a mistaken, view of the case, so far, at least, as the Children’s Hospital, or any like institution, is con- cerned. The rules of every hospital of the kind in this or any other country expressly forbid the admission of any one suffering from an infectious or contagious disease. It is a necessary and absolutely humane rule, tho’ it may seem harsh to the indi- vidual sufferer or its friends.

Features of the Festival —Refresh- ments and Other Attractions—Those to Whom Credit is Due. The ice carnival at the Washington Light Infantry Armory was opened amid a blaze of glory last evening. The place was trans- formed into a veritable fairy land of ice and snow. Thousands of electric lights scintillated between the icicles which hung from the ceiling, while every conceivable nook and corner was occupied by a tiny colored bulb which glowed and flashed in the green trees or in the spray of the water- fall. The promoter and originator of the enterprise, Capt. Charles Ebert, was every- where at once; putting fire extinguishers here and there and fixing snow on the ever- green trees. Promptly at 8 o’clock the Washington Light Infantry Corps was marched in and lined up, company front, in the south side of the hall, facing the speaker’s rostrum. Then came the staff officers of the organi- zation, escorting Col. Moore and Col. John M. Wilson. The opening exercises were brief and to the point. Capt. Allison Nailor, as chairman of the arrangements commit- tee, introduced Col. Moore in a neat little speech, turning over the results of the month’s labor into his hands. Col. Moore then made a few remarks, complimenting the corps on their efforts, which, he said, spoke for themselves, and then introduced Col. Wilson. Col. Wilson spoke of the high reputation the corps had in the past, and advised each one in the ranks before him to pray God to instill into their hearts the same valor, a, and patriotism which had permeated the hearts of those -zho had responded to the call of their country near- ly a third of a century ago. He then an- acon the carnival open to the general public. Some Features. In the center of the hall was the hand- scme flower booth, substantially built of ircn, presided over by Mrs. Allison Nailor, assisted by Mesdames J. R. Galloway, P. Kennerly, W. E. Speir, H.

Mo- Cabe andWeaver,and Misses Gabriel Steiger, Alma Ebert, Jennie Speif; Mary “Purcell, Mattie Purcell, Phenie Lipscomb, Allie Beckley, Mamie Cook, Ella Cook, Ida Hunt, Linda Beagle, Nanon Millard, Mary Me- Carthy, Dollie Schneider, -Leah- Schneider, Lillian Hurdle, Belle McGregor, May Her- bert, Stella Sutton, C. Louise Herbert, Bes- sie Biers,Claudia Reynolds, Blanch Thomp- son, Florence Chambers and Vente Burrier. The palms, which were from Mrs. Nailor’s pelm house, were interspersed with roses, lilies and tulips, making an exceptionally pretty center piece. Near this Was the im- mense snow man, made to represent the old German townmaster or burgher, with his ight and his horn, with which to waken the town in time of danger. In one corner was still another snow man, into whose mouth rubber balls could be thrown at the modest rate of three for five. Over this was a green dragon, blazing with elec- tricity, while over the entrance to the room was still another. In the opposite corner was a real water fall, beautifully decorated with shells, evergreens and lights, until the whole had the appearance of a fairy bewer. Of course the paddle stand was there, presided over by Capt. Kelly, and it did a rushing business, too. In the Esquimaux snow huts Miss A. J. Willett, assisted by Mrs. E. E. Fallon, Miss Barrett, Miss Lysight, Mrs. Lachr, Miss Renshaw and the Misses Sullivan, foretold the future of everyone who wished to hear what Dame Fortune had in store for them. At the cigar stand, Mrs. John S. Miller, as- sisted by Mrs. Chas. Shields, Mrs. ‘Atkinson, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Hough and the Misses Smith, Brown, Bowerman, Martin, Court- ney and Johnson, dispensed the it weed. Mrs. F. L. Ourand presided at the lemonade stand in the miniature castle, hind which Schroeder’s orchestra dis- ccrrsed excellent music, assisted by Mes- Games C. H. Kettler, W. Morsell, Anadale, the Misses Hodges, the Misses Renshaw, the Misses Stier and Misses , Sant Wilson, Lucas, King, Levi, Geib, ‘Lackey, Atchison and Hammersley, while at the candy booth Mrs. F. B. alker, assisted by Mesdames C. H. Miller, S. P. House and Misses Alma Bosse, Hinkel, Gentner, Scott, Breitford, McNally, Baldwin, Harvey, Kel- ly, H. Dalton, Taylor, Barthel and ee Misses Plugge, scattered the colored ties far and wide, for a consideration. Under the band stand was an elaborate monogram of the corps, with two stacks of rifles and accouterments in front of it and surmounted by an eagle. One of the best patronized attractions of the evening was Lovers’ Lane, hedged on both sides by evergreen trees, in which ice cream and hot coffee could be had at any time and by any number, In the supper room a little more elaborate menu was served. Not a little merriment was caused by a half dozen members of the corps, who had gotten themselves up for the occasion as tramps, clowns and col dudes. Credit Due. A great crowd of people was in attend- ance from the opening of the doors to the closing hour, 11:30, going and coming in @ constant stream, and it was the unanimous vote of each and every one that the af- fair was a huge success. The carnival will be kept open for two weeks, and the proceeds are to be used to buy new white uniforms with which to go to Brooklyn on May 30. A great deal of credit is due to the com- mittee on general arrangements for the excellence of their work in getting the huge affair in running order. This com- mittee was as follows: Capt. Allison Nailor, chairman; Sergt. P. M, Kennelly, gecretary; Major B. R. Ross, Col. Moore, Capts. Miller, Breitbarth, Schafer, Kelley, ‘W. Andrew Boyd, Chas. Childs, ae P. J. Duffy, C. R. Luce, Chas.

Kinslow and George R. Pohl. While Mr. Pohl did all the plaster of paris work, Mr. jot mann was the stone contractor, 4 laid many tons during the it wer Capt. ‘W. Andrew Boyd also deserves credit for the manner in which he has labored for the completion of the enterprise. —__—-—__ A Report Not Credited.
