THE MAP ON THE BOARD-ROOM WALL Commissioner Rossell Had a Much Fairer Method. PERTINENT COMMUNICATIONS It has been over a year and a half now since the engineer department commenced work upon the preparation of the map for the extension of the streets in accordance with the highway act of 1892, yet up to this time the general public is without official information as to what has been done by the authorities. Nearly 100 section maps lieve been made from time to time, but it has been impossible up to this time to get a single one for publication. Major Powell explains the delay, on the part of the Com- missioners in not presenting the whole map for record to be due to the dilatory meth- ods of Mr. Olmstead and the coast sur- vey. Mr. Olmstead, who, it ‘will be re- called, was mentioned by Congress as the landscape engineer to assist the Commis- sioners in the preparation of the map, re- fused, according to Major Powell, to make any plans upon the maps furnished him by the Commissioners, so -maps had to be made by the coast survey, and this took a good deal of time. : Although the Commissioners have taken official action in a number of cases affect- ing subdivisions and extensions of streets in connectior h this map, none of their actions: have beer given to the press, nor bas there been any invitation to the public to inspect a considerably amended map which haugs on one of the walls of the District Commssioners’ board room—an apartment which is closed to the public all day Saturday, and for from one to three hours on each of the other week days; the room is never open to the public at a time when persons employed in the departments or otherwise engaged in earning» with diffi- culty their daily bread would have a chance to at once inspect the map, and per- sonally place their criticisms before the Commissioners. Plans of extensions have been made, and after the owners of the property immediately affected had heard what was going on, and had been able to learn of the prospective action of the Com- missioners, the plans were changed. A case in point occurred yesterday morn- ing, when a large property owner called upon the Commissioners to get them to change their action in relation to his sub- division. In conversation with a represen- tative of The Star, he said he believed that the Commissioners were anxious to get the whole matter settled and off their hands with the smallest amount of publicity pos- sible. He cited his own case in this con- nection, and said he had been informed of what was proposed to be done; then, with- out any warning whatever, the Commis- sioners changed their announced plan and did not. even notify him of their action. Fortunately, he had heard of it indirectly, and, coming to the District building, was surprised to have the report verified. Had this gone on and the map been approved without his knowledge he would have been the loser by a large amount of money. Maj. Powell said yesterday that his eng!- neers were working hard to get the map completed. It had been virtually approved by the Commissioners as a board, although it was still subject to some minor changes. It would be impossible at tfis time, he said, to allow a copy of the map to go out. An Apologist Who Kicks. “One of the condemned” writes to The Star asking for justice to the Commission- ers, yet complaining of their deliberation, and says: “In reference to the charge that the Com- missioners of the District of Columbia have not given sufficient publicity to their plans of street extension, I wish to state, in jus- tice to said Commissioners, that I have upon several occasions, without invitation, visited the District building relative to the plans for street extension and that I have at all times been treated with the utmost courtesy by Commissioner Powell and his assistants and given the fullest informa- tion regarding the proposed extensions.

The act of Congress authorizing the extension of the streets was approved March 2, 1893, and on the 2sth of April foliowing a map giving a gen- eral outline of the proposed extensions was published in The Star. “Very soon thereafter a map was prepared and exhibited in the office of the Engineer Commissioner showing what’ property lay within the lines of sireet extension, and from that time to the present such prop- erty has been practically condemned. Every dealer in suburban real estate can testify that all lots lying within the lines of the proposed extension of any street are unsalable, and will ever-remain so unless the street extension act be repealed, and some people, whose emtine savings are in- vested in such lots hive, been financially ruined by reason of the cloud thus thrown upon their property. All that is asked of the Commissioners is that, instead of is- suing their usual perigdical bullentin that the map will be made public ‘in a few days,’ they will bring forth the map of the first section, which, it is understood, was practically completed: several months ago, and proceed with, thg condemnation of property, so that an estimate of the amount réquired to pay for the condemned land may be presented’ to Congress at the beginning of the next. session. Then, if Congress refuses to make the necessary appropriation, a demand can be made that the street extension act be at once re- pealed.” Commissioner Rosxells Experience. The map-printed in THe Star of April 28, ism3—to which reference is made in the Preceding communicatfon—was not official. It was made under the direction of Capt. Rossell, then Engineer Commissioner, and Capt. Fiebeger, then, as now, assistant to the Engineer Commissioner. Coincident with and succeeding the publication of the map were notices of hearings, to which all interested per: ed. The sults of th rings were fatal to the map, for it was clearly demonstrated that the sions therei: : many _property-holders, ioner Ro: he frequently declared that he proposed would work but fo: isfied, did not want to be a party to extensions planned and carried out without the knowl- edge and consent of at least the majority of the property-holders. At the District ar impression that Com- i's experience was the cause of the “publicity” which permits the public to once in a while gaze upon a map in the board room—a map on which none of the many corrections made has been noted—and refuses to give the section maps out for publication by the newspapers. No Official Map Yet Published. March 2 of the present year The Star published a map of the District—reprinted from the American Architect—in which the then probable plan of strect extension was sketched, in connection with the park and boulevard system. This map was not offi- and because of its necessarily con- a details gave nothing more than a general idea of the scheme. Since then several changes have been made, but the facts as to them have not been made pub- lic, nor have they been marked on the in- correct map in the board room. It is,ther fore, evident that the people of the District have not been vouchsafed anything like reliable information as to a matter in which they must be deeply interested, and to pay for the consummation of which they will be taxed several millions of dollars. EDITOR BRITTON REPLIES. He Takes Ixsne With Maj. Powell's Definition of the Term “Publicity.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: As District Commissioner Powell elected to address me through your columns, I may properly reply through the same chan- he matter in the Financial Review, ed by him, was part of a long edi- torial seeking to show how the harmonious support of all classes of our citizens might be secure at the next Congress in support of the sewer and bond bill. ‘hree general discussed, and the con- text clearly shows that the third was in- tended to present, and did 7 nt, simply idea that the moral support of the gen- body of thé community could be best ed by giving greater publicity to the f the proposed sewer and street . Neither improper motives nor were attributed to the District ners, nor weue they intended to be attributed. The monious vowed object was to produce har- action on all parts. The thought 1 opportuni- o committees, or to ties to individuals, or chance callers, to inspect a ‘map hung upon a ‘wall in the Commissioner's’ board room, d methods.of publication, were not sufficient notige to so inform the great bod yers as to enlist their ration and moral support. ng,, and intending to exercise, a full right to ¢ommend or to criticise the official cohduct of our Com- joners, as, in my opinion, facts may justify, the Financial Review has never reflected fpon their personal or private acts or motftes. Major Poweil makes it clear, however, in his “interview” that tHe material point of difference between him’ and myself is that he believes his duty to be exhausted in giving to “the public the utmost freedom to examine the maps * * * hanging up in the board room,” which view he clenches by asking, “Isn’t that publicity enough?” I believe, on the contrary, that where 300,000 people are asked to assume an in- debtedness of $7,000,000, publication to that entire community by hanging a map upon the wall of a rcom closed entirely to the public on one secular day of each week, and on at least three hours of every other secular day, and not in a general sense open to the public at all other times, is just about as up-to-date a performance as Would be notice of a foreclosure sale by the old-time way of posting on the court house door. The major, refusing expressly in bis published “interview” to give the com- pleted maps to The Star for publjcation, stands inside the public square and rings a bell. I would publish facts, figures and maps broadcast through the public press. A. T. BRITTON, » Editor Financial Review. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Many Local Notes of Interest e all Classes. Geo. A. Kidwell, son-in-law of “Mick” Caton, who has paid so many fines to the government in palliation of divers offenses, was taken in last night. He was engaged In an attack on his wife. On the approach of the officers Kidwell’s temper became pitched to a white heat. He swore that a step taken over his doorsill would result in the manufacture of official mincemeat. To illustrate his threat He flourished two razors, while a revolver was near at hand. The officers, though averse to being carved, moved in. Cautfon preceded them and strategy went, too. A capture of the man followed. His revolver and two razors went along to the station with him. Coal Arrivals. Five thousand tons of coal were shipped from Cumberland to Williamsport during the last week in March. This is a record breaker for that particular period. Georgetown’s receipts by way of the canal since the opening have been unusually heavy. There is a tremendous hustle among boatmen and coal shippers. This seasoh promises to be a banner one fer the canal. General Manager G. L. Nicolson of the’ Chesapeake and Ohio canal has been elect- ed to fil’ a vacancy on the Georgetown Gas Light Company's board. School Affair. The Fillmore school teachers are ar- ranging an entertainment, to be participat- ed in by their pupils, that will be replete with pleasing features. There will be a “Gypsy Cantata,” dumbbell drill and wand drill, fancy dances, musical selections and an ‘array of Sunflowers.” The date of the affair has been fixed as the 18th instant and the place Linthicum Hall. Parents are exhibiting a very material interest in the approaching event. Notes. Dr. Harry Warfield Howell, son of the rector of Grace Church here, has returned to his home after the completion of his medical studies and hospital experience. James Douglass, accused of stealing a shotgun from Canal Boatman George Mull- gan, was at the station last night. Tony Walker was run over last night at the corner of Potomac and M streets by a horse and carriage driven by some un- known party. The man received such pain- ful mjuries that he had to be conveyed to his home. ———————— WILL BE CONFINED. The Youngster Who Played the Wild West Business, Henry Roberts, the messenger boy who stole a handsome revolver from Mr. Dodge's law office, in the Evans building, and then shot Lillian Spooner, a little girl, while giving a “‘wild west” exhibition on his bicycle, as published in The Star at the time, was tried in the Police Court today for the theft of the revolver. He plead guilty to the charge. . Witnesses explained that the boy was employed in the building as elevator boy for two days, and he entered Mr. Dodge’s office and took the revolver from the desk. “Why did you take this revolver?” Judge Miller asked him. “I don’t know,” he answered. “You evidently wanted to play some ro- mantic game on your bicycle with the pistol,” said the judge. ‘You wanted to pose as a bandit. Your head is full of everything but work, and you probably thought you were having some fun.” “And he’s still having his fun,” remarked Mr. Mullowny.. “He is giving the jail offi- cials lots of trouble by yelling and whist- ling.” Judge Miller told the prisoner that he was too dangerous to be at large, and fined him $50 or sixty days. The charge of shooting the girl will be tried when the latter is able to appear. The bullet is still in her leg, and she will in all probability be confined to her bed for several weeks. ~ —E— An Elopement.

Miss Alice was the eldest of three daughters and was engaged in business with her father. Mason until last July was in the employ of Mr. Sampson as a driver, but was discharged because of the atten- tion he paid to Miss Alice. The couple cor- responded, however, and yesterday quietly proceeded to the residence of Rev. I. W. Canter, pastor of Mount Vernon Piace M. KE. Church, and were joined in wedlock, although Mr. Sampson did all in his power to prevent the marriage. It is understood that Mr. and Mrs. Mason have gone to the home of the former, in Orange ‘county, Vi; a. Mr. Sampson expresses the belief that Mason has negro blood in his veins, and declares that he will never forgive the young people for their act. It is denied, however, that Mason has any colored blood. He is a nephew of the army sergeant who. gained some notoriety by attempting to’| shoot Guiteau, the murderer of President Garfield. —_—.__ Several Fire Last evening, about 7 o'clock, the ex- plosion of a gasoline stove in the house of L.H. Trumbull, No. 2106 10th street, caused the turning in of an alarm of fire from box 239. The damage to the house and furni- ture amounted to about $200. The burning of a paper shade on a piano lamp caused a slight fire in the house of Mrs. William Morgan, No. 217 5th street southeast, last night. This morning the fire department was called out because of fire in the chimney of the house of Mr. Rice, No. 22 K street northeast. No damage was done. THE HORRORS OF VAN ATROCITIES 100 HORRIBLE FOR PRINT Loyal and Disloyal Villagers Treated Alike. KILLED BY THE THOUSAND NEW YORK, April 11.—The Phil-Arme- nian Association is distributing a letter dealing largely with the massacre of 1894, its antecedents and significance, from Frederick Davis Greene, who was a mis- sionary of the American board in Van, the center of Armenia, and was recently or- dered by his physician to return to Amer- ica, * Many of the atrocities described in this letter are too horrible for publication. Here are some extracts from a description of the great massacre at Sassoun, near Mooshko: “No distinctions were made between per- sons or villages as to whether they were loyal and had paid their taxes or not. The orders were to make a clean sweep. A priest and some leading men from one village ‘went out to meet an officer, taking in their hands their tax receipts, declaring their loyalty and begging for mercy, but the village was sur- rounded and all human beings put to the bayonet. A large and strong man, the chief of one village, was captured by the Kurds, who tied him, threw him on the ground, and, squatting around him, stabbed him to pieces. “At Galogozan many young men were tied hand and foot, laid in a row, covered with brushwood and burned alive. Others were seized and hacked to death piecemeal. “At another village a priest and several leading men were captured and promised release if they would tell where others had fied, but after telling all but the priest were killed. A chain was put around the priest’s neck and pulled from opposite sides till he was several times choked and revived, after which several bayonets were planted up- right and he was raised in the air and let fall upon them. “The men of one village, when fleeing, took the women and children, some five hundred in number, and placed them in a sort of grotto in a ravine. After several days the soldicrs found them and butchered those who had not died of hunger. “Sixty young women and girls were se- lected from one village and placed in a church, when the soldiers were ordered to do with them as they liked, after which they were butchered. “Children were frequently held up by the hair and cut in two or had their ja torn apart. Women with child were ripped open. Other children were pulled apart by their legs. “The last stand took place on Mount An- doke, south of Moosh, where some thou- sand persons had sought refuge. The Kurds were sent in relays to attack them, and after the besieged had been without food for several days and their ammuni- tion was exhausted the troops succeeded in reaching the summit without any loss and let scarcely a man escape. “Now all turned their attention to those who had been driven into the Talvoreeg district. Three or four thousand of the besieged were left in this small plain. When they saw themselves thickly sur- rounded on all sides by Turks and Kurds, they raised their hands to heaven with an agonizing moan for deliverance. They were thinned out by rifle shots, and the remainder were slaughtered with bayonets and swords till a veritable river of blood flowed from the heaps of the slain. “Forty villages were totally destroyed, and it is probable that 16,000 at least were killed. The lowest estimate is 10,000, and many put it much higher.” LONDON, April 11—The correspondent of the Daily News records the arrival at Moush, Armenia, of the Rev. Mr. Cole and Miss Ely, from Bitlis, after a perilous sledge journey. Their purpose in visiting Moush is to communicate, through the British delegates on the Turkish commis- sion, with Mr. A. W. Terrell, the American minister to Turkey, on the perilous con- dition of the American mission at Bitlis. ee * WILDE LOOKS HAGGARD. Evidently Appreciates the Gravity of His Situation” LONDON, April 11.—Great crowds of peo- ple were gathered outside and inside the Bow street police court today, when Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were brought from the prison at an early hour in order to be examined on remand on the charge of having committed serious misdemeanors. ‘The court opened at 11-o’clock, with both prisoners in the dock. Wilde looked hag- gard and worn, and it was noticed that he has greatly changed since he appeared on the witness stand of the Old Bailey to prosecute his suit for libel against the Marquis of Queensberry, the collapse of which action in such an unexpected and sensational manner led to his arrest and the subsequent terrible disclosures, Wilde today was much more subdued, although he smiled once or twice at certain ques- tions which were put to him. But he seem- ed to realize the gravity of the situation in which he found himself. He was dressed as faultlessly as ever, carrying a shining silk hat in his hand, and displaying on his ungloved fingers many sparkling gems. Taylor, Wilde’s.fellow prisoner, the man who is charged with having acted as agent for the author and dramatist, behaved in the same sneeringly indifferent m: iner as when arraigned last week, and was evi- dently not as deeply impressed with the seriousness of the charges brought against him as was Wilde. Sir Edward Clarke again appeared. for Wilde, and two lawyers acted as counsel for Taylor. Delayed the Proceedings. The prisoners are evidently making a desperate fight. Their lawyers today de- layed the proceedings in every possible way, and the examination of the accused promises to be a protracted affair. Tay- lor’s lawyers said that he would recall all of the witnesses who were examined on Saturday last, as Taylor was not repre- sented by counsel upon that occasion. Charles Parker, the nineteen-year-old witness who was examined on Saturday last, and-who related at length on the stand, giving the most minute details, his intimacy with Wilde, was again placed in the witness box today. He was subjected to cross-examination by Sir Edward Clarke, but his testimony was not shaken. ‘The cther witnesses of Saturday were not present, but, by consent of counsel for the prosecution, who promised to produce them later, the proceedings were continued, and Mr. C. F. Gill, who acted as prosecutor for the treasury department, and who, inci- Castoria For Infants and Children.

Carson’ junior counsel in the defense of the Mai quis of Queensberry, placed on the stand 2 man named Fred Atkins, twenty years of age, and described as a variety singer. ‘Atkins, in reply to questions put to him by Mr. Gill, said that Wilde went with him to Paris in 1893. Further testimony fur- nished by the same witness was similar to that given by young men and boys who have been previously examined in this ex- traordinary case. Edward Shelly was the next witness. He was formerly in the employ of Elkins & Matthews, and said that in 1891 Wilde cslled at the latter’s store,and thus witness made the prisoner’s acquaintance. e ‘After further evidence Wilde and Taylor were remanded for a week, bail being re- fused. —_—.——_ Before the Medical Society. Dr. Andrew H. Smith of New York read an interesting paper before the Medical So- clety last night on “‘Affections of the Heart and Lungs in Positive Diagnoses of Dis- eases of These Organs.” There was an unusually large attendance and the discus- sion which followed showed the «merit of the paper.
