Such oecasions as that of Saturday night, when the board of trade met the national Jegislators in the genial and pleasant at- mosphere of social reunion, should tend to increase the spirit of good will that as a rule prevails between the nation and its capital, virtually its ward, the city of Washington. While there are occasional misunderstandings on the part of some members of Congress as to the respons!- bilities of the central government in re- spect to the District yet by means of just such gatherings as that of Saturday night there Is diffused among the legislators a general appreciation of the real needs and requirements of the District and of the ob- ligations resting upon them to foster the best Interests of this city of the nation. The board of trade has done a great edu- cational work in this line, and it has con- stantly pressed upon the attention of Con- gress the most urgent of the District's needs and has accomplished some whoie- some and desirable results. The project for a new municipal building has been kept alive and recommended with many forcible arguments session after session until now the time seems near at hand when the present ridiculous accommoda- tions of the municipal government will be replaced by a fine modern structure, an or- nament to the city. The board has vigor- ously and persistently labored for the suc- cess of the free library plan which, it is practically assured, will be realized before the end of the current year. There is now pending before the Senate a measure mak- ing for the abolishment of grade crossings ‘on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad in this city, and this, it is expected, will be soon followed by another relating to the occupation of streets at grade by the Bal- zimore and Ohio. These measures repre- sent a work of years on the part of the board of trade, aided by The Star. The board has also fought vigorously for a modern reconstruction 6f Long Bridge and other bridge improvements. Through the efforts of the board there is a more hope- Zul prospect than ever before of the fram- ing and adoption of a modern code of laws "for the District. Better school facilities and increased police and fire protection are among the many other projects heartily ad- vocated by this organization, while the board has always fought for the better- “ment of health conditions, and to this end has urged a more complete sewer equip- ment and the improvement of Rock Creek end the James Creek canal. In view of its ¢reditable list of accomplishments, and of endeavors that seem about to be crowned with success, the board of trade has well earned the grateful appreciation of all the citizens of Washington. ———_+++___ Extend the Water Supply. Some time bas now elapsed since the sub- mission to Congress by the Secretary of War of the report on the aqueduct tunnel end no steps have yet been taken, ap- parently, for the utilization of the informa- tion thus collected by the War Depart- ment at considerable cost. A year ago it ‘was proposed by the Senate to amend the District appropriation bill by adding a Jarge sum for the resumption of operations on the tunnel project, but in the absence of any definite opinion from competent engineering authorities that the original plan could be successfully consummated it was deemed wiser to temporize in the mat- ter, and accordingly an appropriation of $25,000 was made to pay the expenses of @ thorough survey. The Secretary of War was thus asked for a report from the engineering authorities of the army and this nas now been submitted, fortified by the opinion of a most competent board of experts organized to review the judgment of the officer in charge of the aqueduct and the chief of engineers of the army. That report is to be accepted as the best nvailable opinion upon the subject. It recommends the completion of the tunnel Project at an estimated expenditure of less than $000,000, and there is nothing in any part of the report to justify further hesita- tion in the matter providing that Congress 4s agreed that an increase of the water supply of the city is necessary. This fact is receiving annual demonstration in the periodical water famines that the citizens experience, and In view of what was pro- posed a year ago and abandoned only for the Jack of information there is little reason why Secretary Lamont's report should not now be promptly given the form of bill, authorizing the completion of the tunnel and appropriating a sufficient sum for that purpose. This measure should be \Passed at this session so that the work may be resumed during ‘he coming sum- mer. ——~+ e+ ___ The Hebrew Fair. The fair for the benefit of the ouilding fund of the Washington Hebrew congrega- tion, to be opened tonight, deserves gene us support from the citizens of the capi- tal, Irrespective of their religious belief. It is planned that the new synagogue shall cost $100,000 or more and, as now planned, it will be a handsome addition to the archi- tectural attractions of Washington. This fact alone entitles the present project to hearty encouragement, but In addition it should be remembered that the Hebrews of this city are most generous givers on all occasions when money is required for pub- lic objects, and rendef effective support to all enterprises similar to that which they gre about to inaugurate. The fair de- serves to be a notable success. ———+ + ____ It is now thoroughly understood that when Judge Cox submits our proposed Dis- trict code to Congress Gen. Grosvenor co- operating with the District committee ts to put it promptly through the House. “If ennybody kin, he kin.” ———~++2__ A Morbid Curiosity. In July last, when arrangements were in progress for the execution of two con- demned murderers, it was announced that an effort would be made to keep the attend- ‘nce down to the minimum allowed by the law. The Star applauded this movement as good and wholesome and expressed the hope that it would result in discouraging the merbid curiosity of those who have no duties to perform in connection with these inflictions of the death penalty. At the first execution the attendance was gratifyingly small, but a week later the pressure for tickets upon the warden and others in au- thority became so great that the crowd of spectators was increased and the old-time Scenes were re-enacted of unseemly crowd- ing to witness the last moments of an un- fortunate human being. Next Friday another man pays the extreme penalty for taking the Ife of a fellow creature. Already the ap- Plication for tickets has begun and once again the jail warden finds himself con- fronted with an eeger crowd, seemingly un- < of the horrible nature of their Quest, The warden declares, however, that he will resist the pressure, and as he has le charge éf the execution there is no reason why he can not carry out his include clergymen, physicians, guards, ju- rors and reporters. Beyond these classes there is no reason for further attendance. It is a wise provision that the reporters shall be used as members of the jury re- quired by the law to certify to the fact of death by legal process, for this reduces the number of persons whose presence {s re- quisite. Warden Leonard estimates that the number of spectators at the execution, all told, need not exceed thirty, and it is greatly to be hoped that this number may not be Increased. The very nature of an ex- ecution should operate to prevent any out- burst of curious desire to be present. There is nothing refining, edifying, or profitable about the sight of an able-bodied man be- ing suddenly killed. On the contrary the spectacle is revolting. The persons who seek admission are not the ones whom the law hopes to impress with the lesson taught by capital punishment. They are as a rule orderly, moral men, of well-balanced minds save in this one morbid desire to wit- hess the scenes of death, and they are far beyond the scope of the example furnished for the checking of crime. The Star ex- presses the hope that Warden Leonard will carry out his present plan to keep out the crowd next Friday. ——_—_ ++ ____ A Wholesome Influence. The aldermen and common councilmen of the national capital met at the Arling- ton Saturday night in larger numbers, so far as the common council is concerned, than are usually present on District day in the council chamber on Capitol Hill, and representatives of their nearly 300,000 Washington constituents also participated in the joint session. The result of the meeting was a most enjoyable and in- structive evening, beneficial both to the capita? city, and to the legislators them- selves, who as a rule are keenly and con- scientiously alive to their constitutional obligations toward the nation’s city, and need only accurate and reliabte informa- ticn concerning the real and urgent needs of their national constituency to cause them to labor for the welfare of the capi- tal, in whose development they take a patriotic interest and pride. Such open and public discussions of District con- cerns and the relations of the capital to the nation are, it is repeated, useful both to the legislators, confused by the contra- dictory appeals and representations of in- dividuals, and to the District itself. ——___ ee — The Unserviceable Auxiliary Navy. The steamship St. Paul, recently beached on the Jersey shore, has been sent from New York to Newport News to be docked for examinaticn and repair. This indicates anew the deplorable lack of facilities for handling larg men-of-war and merchant vessels that has often been noted as evi- dence of the great amount of work that is yet to be done before this country can rest assured of having a safe equipment. The St. Paul, {< must be borne in, mind, is a member of the auxiliary navy, and as such should be regarded in much the same light as a war ship. In case this cruiser and her sistcr ships should be drafted into ac- tive service the lack of suitable drydock facilities would seriously reduce their fight: ing efficiency. The same is true as regar-is their general equipment, which is not now supplied, and yet the government is an- nually taxed large sums in subsidy, which Would be a fine investment except for the fact of this peace-meal and unprofitable policy. =<———_++-+—_ The Latest From Cuba. The appeal of President Cisneros of the Cuban republic to the people of the United States, communicated through The Star's correspondent, is calculated to aweken a deep sense of sympathy in this couniry. He plainly states the situation of the Cubans and asks for an understanding of their aims and prospects. It is a vaiuable docu:nent, and The Star's Cupvan corre- spondent has rendered the reading public of America a distinct service. He has not yet been deported, and the Spanish claim that he has mis-stated the true condition of affairs in the island has been exposed as flimsy and weak. The idea of requiring bicycle-riders_ to equip their machines with brakes Is re- ceiving serious discussion in New York.
