OTHER SPEAKERS Once each year the sons of Old Colum- bian members of the Alumni! Association,” gather together to do honor to their alma mater. The meeting this year was held last night at the Shoreham, and was sup- Plemented by 2 banquet. The reception took place in one of the large parlors of the hotel, and for over an hour, the bays, some of them gray-haired men, and many of them Washington's leading citizens, re- hearsed the gccd old days of long ago, and Swapped stories of their school days. Dr. Whitman, president of the university, re- ceived the members of the association. A striking figure of the assemblage was that of Dr. Huntington, one of the oldest pro- festcrs of the university. It was after 8 o'clock when Chairman Hodgkins of the banquet committee threw open the doors to the banquet hall. The tables were formed in the shape of the letter U with Dr. Whitman and other mem- bers of the general faculty seated at the head. They were profusely decorated with cut flowers, and a nun-ber of large vases filled with beautiful American beauty roses were placed at intervals between mounds of growing hyacinths. The menu was more extensive than usual, and after it had been served, President C. W. Richardson of the Alumni Association, announced the toasts. He said the occasion reminded him of a family gathering, where the sons of the old gray-naired mother had gathered to- gether to pay her homage. He spoke of the proud past of the university and pre- dicted great things for the future. President Whitm: He then introduced President Whitman, who said in response to the tcast, that he had been somewhat uncertain as to the correct designation of his office until a short time ago, when an aged colored wo- man applied at the college building for the foreman of the university. He was the foreman. He greeted the Alumni Associ: tion in the name of the university, and after a short, but interesting discourse upon what the college bad done in the past, spoke of the great promise of the fu- ture. No university, he said, could build upon air. It needed a foundation, strong, powerful and good. Columbian had a foun- daticn of this character. Its past was its foundation, and it was worthy of the great university. He referred to the life works of Presidents Welling and Sampson, to whose devotion to duty the great founda- tion was made possible. It remained for the coliege of today to build for itself a superstructure equally strong and good. If there was an optimist in the association he wanted him to follow, but advised the im- Mediate expulsion of any pessimist. He had been dreaming recently of the great future of the university. They were dreams full of promise. He dreamed of an amalgamation of the faculties of all the departments of the university, each one fully responsible for the whole. He dreamed of the university athletic teams; foot ball, if possible, base ball surely. Teams com- posed of men from every department of the university. It was easy enough to hire men to play ball for a university team, but that was the death of pure college sport. The bane of university life is the lack of con- tinulty. He had dreamed also of different buildings for each department of the uni- versity—a new law building, a new medical college, and, best of all, a hospital for its students; a scientific school, a. laboratory and an enlargement of graduate school work. And dreams often come true, he said. If God be willing, he was not a false profit when he said there was a substantial back- ground for all these pictures. He had also dreamed of a campus for the university, where the boys would gather and hold their meetings, as in the other great universities of the country. And that campus would not be in Maryland or Virginia, but right here in the District of Columbia. He spoke of the great victories of the American athletes in the Olympian games in Athens, and compared the American athletete with the Greek. Ours were of a higher type of man- hood, ‘and the Greek in his best estate is found inferior to the brawn and muscle of American manhood. At the conclusion of Dr. Whitman's remarks he was vociferously applauded. Other Speeches. Rev. S. H. Greene responded to the toast “The University Corporation,” and paid a deserving tribute to Dr. Whitman. He re- ferred to the pledges of the trustees of a year 2go, and detailed the great advance- ment of the university during that period. It was the best educational institution of its kind in this latitude. Mr. William B. King followed with a re- sponse to the toast letters. He drew an in- teresting comparison between the Columbian College 2 his day with the present great university. Dr. W. W. Johnston, representing the medical school, was received with a storm of applause when he arose to respond to the toast of “The Healing Art.” The great advancement made by the medical depart- ment of the university could not be over- estimated. Its strides had been phenomenal, and its graduates recognized the world over. He referred to the récent examination held for positions in the army, and pointed out that of the forty-five physicians who took the examination five passed. Of this num- ber two were Columbian graduates. The medical college was the backbone of the university. (Applause.) He referred espe- cially to the necessity of a special course in the university proper, for the early train. ing of these who hoped to be physicians. Mr. Chapin Brown spoke t to the toast “Our Legal Advisors.” Dr. Noble spoke for the dental faculty, and I Dr Charles E. Mun- Toe closed the speech-making with a hand- some address on the post graduate “delvers.’ Those Present. Among those present were President B. L. Whitman, Dr. C. N. Acker, Dr. C. W. Appler, Dr. C.

Potomac and United States Companies Present Their Argaments—Protest Against Overhead Wires. The electric lighting matter continued a subject for animated discussion before Sen- ators McMillan, Fauikner and Proctor yes- terday afternoon for about an hour after The Star's report closed. Mr. Crosby con- cluded his statement of the case. He said that his company, the Potomac, would agree to light the city with electricity much cheaper than it is Jone at present, and he expressed the hope that the committee would ot confer a monopoly for this serv- ice upon any company. The United States Elestric Lighting Com- pany was not, he declared, under its con- tract with the District of Columbia, respon- sible for failure to supply the city with light; it was paid by the night. The Po- tomac Company, which he represented, wanted to do the work under a contract that would hold it responsible for anything that went weong in the way of lighting. He want-d the committee to strike out all the restrictions of the pending law, and give his company the power to run under. ground wires through the city and sav the city much expense, besides insuring a better service. In conclusion, Mr, Crosby Stated that he hoped the members of the committee would exonerate him from any rumor that he had been having underhand dealings with Atturney Thomas. After ne had firished Senator Proctor complimented Mr. Crosby on the clear statement he had giveu and declared that he should have studied law instead of engineering. Against Overhead Wires. . Madison M. Ballinger followed, “for a minute and a hal! as he said, to pro- test on behalf of the citizens of Columbia Heights against the introduction of any ov. rhead wires and poles into that beautiful fection. He thought that the mythical char- acter of Florida avenue as the boundary of the city limits should aot cperate to permit the establishment on the north side of that line of any institutions that are prohibited on the south side. The officers of the Po- tomac Company, he said, are willing to have the bill amended so as to prohibit overhead wires, and as Mr. Rallinger sat down Mr. Faulkner remarked that there was no likelihood of there being any ques- tion in the mirds of the committee on the matter of overhead wires. He indicated very plainly that such things would not be tolerated. The United States Company's Plea. The United States Electric Lighting Com- pany then took the floor in the person of Mr. James K. Redington, its attorney, who consumed the rest of the time. This com- pany, he said, was composed almost en- tirely of citizens of. the District, and he pleaded for a recognition of the rights of the local people to run their own business, making a strong inference that the com- peting company is composed of outsiders. He sketched ihe history of the company, which was first formed in 1882, by four prominent buriness mei of the District of Columbia, with a capital stock of $10,000, Subsequently, under the laws of the state of West Virginia, which provided that the capital stock of the company might be in- creased to $3,000,000, there was added one- quarter of a million dollars to the capital stock. It was in 1888 that the first law was passed in the District of Columbia direct- ay that no more electric light wires should placed overhead, and Mr. Redington cant that his company was the first in the whole United States to voluntarily put its wires underground. He stated that twenty of the fifty miles of wire were eS underground at a cost of $485,000, le further said that $1,400,000 was invest- ed in good solid money in this company, and that less than 4 per cent of this amount was owned outside of the District of Columbia. His company now hail 44.06 miles of underground wires, and but four miles of overhead wires. The company had submitted to several reductions in the price of its power and currents, until the present Congress pro- posed to bring it down to twenty-eight cents per unit. Mr. Faulkner wanted to know if the service could be performed at this rate, but Mr. Redington would not un- dertake to answer exactly, thouxh he gave it as his opinion that it could not he done. His company, he said. was the only one in this country that had reduced its charges so liberally, and was the pioneer to volun- tarlly place its wires underground. Paid His Respects to Mr. Troesdell. Mr, Redington sketched the history of the competing companies, and paid his respects to Commissioner Truesdell in respectful but significant language. He spoke of the forma- tion of the Potomac Compa ad its pur- chase by the present owners. About this time, he continued, Commissioner Truesdell purchased a lot of building sites in Ecking- ton, and the Potomac Company got the con- tract for furnishing the light to this suburb, making it an inducement for bu This scheme did not prove of profit to Mr. Trues- dell, and he was obliged to sell his interest iy the place at a great disadvantage. Mr. Redington then went on to state how, a few days after Mr. Crosby and his company had purchased the plant at Eckington, and were trying to gain an entrance to the District of Columbia, injunctions were served on them, and numerous protests were made by citizens of Washington against their en- trance. Mr. Redington stated to the committee that the habit of attempting to organize new companies was not a new one, and that it had happened at least fifteen or twenty times to his knowledge since his company was first started. He said it was all weil enough to talk about starting a plant at a cost of less than $30,000, but he wanted to know if such a thing could be done. He said that protests had been several times referred to Senate and House District committees in regard to the same question, and every time they had been disrezarded. In a recent report the committce on the Dis- trict of Columbia had stated that they did not see any need for ancther company in the city of Washington, and that the one row supplying electrical power had proven en: tirely satisfactory to the citizens of the city. Mr. Redington at this point was in- terrupted by Mr. Faulkner, who stated that the Senate was considering some very im- portant legislation in which ne was con- cerned, and the meeting was at once ad- on 8th streets, was in the Police Court today charged with selling liquor to minors. Flemming Parker, a drummer boy in the Marine —, is the minor in the case, There has been considerable drunkenness among the boys in the corps, so it is said, and the arrest of Saloonkeeper Nolte re- sulted from an investigation made by the ‘police. Vermillion had the case under investigation and made the arrest. Lawyer Woodworth appeared in court as his counsel, and demanded a jury trial. Bond was given and the case was con- tinued. —— at eerie Gin Richard Wine of 417 1: street south- west bas asked the pil to find a gold rapsenget tegalcemened pair of beard grea Wig veld dark reoat, which from bis house som Stine penne
