A Suggestion That an Act of Congress ‘Would Better Express the ‘Will of the Senate. The District Commissioners have written @ letter, under date of January 6, to Mr. McMUlan, chairman of the Senate com- mittee on the District of Columbia, in re- gard to Senate resolutions relating to the electric light controversy in the District, these-resolutions having been introduced in the Senate by Mr. Gallinger on December 17, and by Mr. Cockrell on December 21. The Commissioners refer to a resolution laid before. the Senate on December 14, calling upon the committee on the District of Columbia to inquire ‘what, if any, ac- tion is contemplated by the Commissioners of the said District in respect to the use of. any of the streets, avenues or public spaces in the sald District for electric lighting, and what, if any, contract or contracts have been, or are contemplated to be, en- tered into which involve the laying of con- duits in or under such streets or avenues and with persons or corporations.” Yhe Commissioners reply to this resolu- ticn, all of which has been published in The Star, together with the later resolu- tions of the Senate, offered by Mr. Gallin- ger and Mr. Cockrell, and in reply to the inquiries of the latter the Commissioners say: “It is proposed by one of the resolutions under consideration that the Commission- ers be directed, and by the other that they be requested, not to permit the Potomac Electric Power Company to carry out its contracts with the District of Columbia, and the superintendent of public buildings and grounds duly entered into under the provisions of existing law, and it is pro- posed to ‘make the existing company (the United States Electric Lighting Company) furnish until next June, free of cost, ex- actly the lights ich the District Com- missioners want.’ The Commissioners then refer to Mr. Cockrell's resolution, accepted by Mr. Gal- linger as a substitute for his resolution, and say: “A serious defect in this resolution, in the opinion of the Commissioners, is that while it justly recognizes the importance of lighting the streets, avenues and public parks as means of protecting life and prop- erty during the inaugural cerémonies, it proposes that the Commissioners shall dis- regard the only contract by which such ighting can be furnished under existing aw without providing any other method should the United States Electric Lighting Company refuse to furnish the necessary lights free of cost. What power the Com- missioners would have to ‘make’ that com- pany furnish such light free of cost does not appear, nor is it shown how the Com- missioners could, should the resolution pass the Senate, release the District and the United States from the obligation of the existing contracts with the Potomac Elec- trie Company, whose conduits, authorized by said contracts, in conformity with law, are already partly constructed. “Another serious objection to the pro- posed resolution is that during a time when the streets and parks of Washington will be crowded with large numbers of people congregated to witness the inauguration of the President-elect it proposes to per- mit the erection of a great and unneces- sary number of unsightly and dangerous overhead wires, many of which, under the existing contracts, should they be carried 1 be placed under ground. By » Commissioners respectfully submit that th resolutions are not, in_ their judgment, in the public interest, and that should either of them pass the Senate, they would be placed in the embarrassing atti- tude of either appearing to disregard a re- quest of the Senate or of disobeying the inw “If it be the will of the Senate that the law as interpreted by the courts shall be modified or repealed and that existing con- tracts duly entered into, in conformity therewith, shall be ignored or canceled by the Commissioners, they have the honor to suggest that that will should be ex- pressed by an act of Congress, instead of a resolution of the Senate, which would varry with it no authority for them ta do the things which it requ them to do.” a THE RECORDER OF DEED: Parely n Local Office, With Now a Fixed Salary. Mr. Simon Wolf, who had himself some years’ experience in the position, has writ- ten the following letter to an Indiana ap- plicant for the office of recorder of deeds: “Your letter making inquiry in regard to the office of recorder of deeds of the Dis- trict of Columbia is at hand. In answer thereto I beg leave to state that the office is one entirely local, and the citizens of the District are a unit in opposition to any one outside of the District being appointed. It is, unfortunately, true that the last two or three administrations have departed from this rule and appointed representa- tives of the colored race not residents of the District, but the national conventions of both parties have declared for home rule, and it is understood that it is not a mere phraseology, but is to be carried into practical effect. How far the incoming ad- ministration will take a new departure is a matter about which I can form no opin- ion, but, knowing the President-elect as I do, I believe he will heed the wishes of the people of the District of Columbia, and not import, for a local office, an outsider. You must remember that the government con- tributes not one cent, that the fees are those paid by the citizens of the District for the recording and safe-keeping of their deeds, trusts and releases; that the office is a salaried one, the balance going into the United States treasury. Of course, should the Incoming President see fit to appoint a non-resident it will give me the greatest pleasure to aid and assist you in your ap- plication, and you can depend upon my doing whatever is in my power in that direction.” ———— Riding Without a Lamp. Misfortune last evening overtook Rev. George W. Lee, one of the best known of the colored divines of the city. As he was hastening along the street on his wheel jast evening Policeman Estes arrested him, and was responsible for the presence of the popular pastor today in the Police Court, where he confronted an information setting forth that he rode a bicycle after dark without displaying a sultable light. At the station house last evening he left $2 collateral. An interesting conference took place tiis taorning in the office of Prosecuting Attor- ney Pugh, in which that official, Mr. Lee and Polticcman Estes engaged. Policeman Estes stated that last night the Reverend Lee offended the District of Columbia by riding a bicycle several blocks, his lamp being unlighted. “I had been to minister to a dying broth- er,” explained the reverend gentleman to Mr. Pugh. “I was late for the services at my church and did not notice that my light was extinguished until the officer ace costed me. A strong wind was blowing, and it must have just gone cut.” The case was nolle prossed. ———— Jobus Acquitted. Greenwood Johns, colored, was acquitted by a jury in the Police Court late yesterday afternoon of a charge of assaulting, Christ- mas eve, John Johnson, a sailor on the U. 8. 8. Dolphin, as reported in The Star at the time. Joseph Edelin was joiatly charged with Johns, but after the jury had been sworn the case against Edelin was nolle prossed, the district attorney intending to use him as a witness against Johns, ‘fhe testimony produced later, however, demonstrated to the Salisfaction of all present that Edelin was tho guilty party. In less than two minutes the jury returned @ verdict acquitting Johns. “As the case aguinst Edelin was abandoned after the jury had been sworn he also was set at uberty. —+__ Marriage Licenses.

Mr. Gompers went to" New York last night, and Mr. Duran returned to his of- fice in Baltimore at the ggm2 time. During the stay of these, gentlemen here they, with Messrs. Mil Spohn and William Silver, presidents, réspectively, of the Cen- tral Labor Union-and--Building Trades Council, together jwith,,other prominent labor leaders in istrict, examined a number of buildings tengered to them for headqvarters, and ie rooms above re- ferred to impressed all interested as being the best adapted for'the purpose they had seen in this city. Accordingly Messrs. Gompers and Duncan made a tender of a stipulated rental to the person in charge of ‘the building, ‘but as this was somewhat lower than the owners of the apartments had heretofore asked for the rooms, the agent did not feel at lberty to accept the offer. W! Messrs. Gom- Pers and Duncan left the city the under- standing they had of the matter was that the owners of the building would decide Saturday whether or not to lease the rooms on the terms tendered by Messrs. Gompers and Duncan. Should that deal net go through there are some other buildings with which the president and vice president of the A. F. of L. were much pleased that will be taken into consideration when Mr. Gompers re- turns to Washington next week. While .in Wesbington Messrs. Gompers and Duncan each made an address before the House labor committee on topics which are of especial interest to members of or- ganized labor societies. Mr, Gompers’ re- marks were confined to the subject of the “black list” biil, ‘and Mr. Duncan’s theme was the amendment desired by the Amer. ican Federation of Labo; x4 - lean Feder r to the eight: —_—>___ WILLS FILED.

Judge Bradley, sitting in Criminal Court . 2, today announced from the bench reafter the practice of chewing to- bacco will not be permitted by him in his court. The judge also placed chewing gum under the ban. The practice, remarked Judge Bradley, is not only unhealthy, but it is also disgus ing to others. Therefore he directed the court officials to prohibit the practice in his court room, and promptly suppress it when observed. The judge explained that he had publicly announced his objections that his directions might hereafter be re- spected by every one in attendance upon the court. 31,000; for two- ee es Death of . Geo.

A fit ending to a life-of singular simplicity and piety. as Sunday and the Newsboys. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In the wrangle over the new order against crying newspapers on Sunday we have heard the newshoy#’ side of the ques- tion and the clergymen’siside, but the ques- tion of the conveniciice to the general pub- lc of having the newsboys cry their wares seems to have been, Bverlooked. That the Sunday mewspapers are a neces- sity with the enlfghtehed citizen of this generation goes without saying, and he wants a variety of them and to have them brought to his dobdy. he lives in the business part of the'citt, perhaps the new rule will not incoggentence him seriously, as he can easily step ot on his door step and whistle for a boy of the next corner, but if he lives up ae rin the suburbs, under the new rullhe $hust either watch at his window or off hig;door step until he sees a boy coming, jr. htt) must go out and hunt for one, or it-may-happen that each silent wanderer wNdé has“papers to sell will subject him to the intolerable nuisance of ringing his door bell te find out whether he wishes a ‘paper: Under the rule now in force the boy makes his presence known, you get’ your paper at your door without the loss of time and inconvenience of set- ting a watch for him or going after him, and you think nothing about the cry of the mext newsboy who comes along uniess you happen to be made of that gingerbread structure we have heard from lately whose nerves cannot bear the Leksng of .a watch when it is against their wishes that the watch should tick.

The note had been written by the Joseph Collins mentioned in it, and the police and wharf hands who gathered about the river front soon after a splash was heard felt certain that the body was in the river. No one saw the man when he went in the water, but he was seen ju:t a few second before the splash was heard, and a colored wharf hand saw the man when he took off his hat and coat. Mrs. Collins, the supposed widow, lives at the house mentioned, and although her husband did not return home last night, she clings to the hope, as she expressed it, that he only left his hat and coat there to feol her. Joseph Collins came to this country about five years ago. He was then only twenty- one years old, and his pretty little wife was two years his junior. About the time of their arrival in this country a child was tcrn to them, and two years ago another member of the family was born. Collins was an electrician and was senior member of the firm of Joseph Collins & Co., electri- cians, at 407 7th street northwest. His fa- ther is an engineer employed at the Hotel Emrica, and his brother is also employed there. Before coming te this city Collins and his little family lived in Philadelphia. Believed to Be Collins. Friends of the missing man who heard of the affair had no doubt about the sad ending of the electrician, and one of them said he had heard Collins make a remark about committing suicide early yesterday morning. What could have been the reason for his taking his own life his wife cannot imagine. He was a very affectionate man, who spent mest of his evenings with his wife and children, and he was not a drunkard. It may be that his business was not the best in the world, and that this had made him despondent. But if this was the cause his wife was ignorant of it, for he had not told her of any financial troubles. So far as she knew, he was doing as good a business as ever, and certainly he was as loving and affectionate about home as ever, for only the night before last he spent his evening at home and played with the children. When the coat and hat had been tound and the police were told of the splash that was heard, Policeman Marshall made an investigation. The man whom it is sup- posed was Collins had been seen on the wharf. A colored man had seen him re- move his hat and coat, and then he dis- appeared behind a pile of lumber. The man carried in his hand what appeared to be a satchel, but no satchel could be found about the wharf. Body Not Found. This caused the suspicion that the satchel was weighted, and that perhaps it had been fastened to his body before he jumped in the water, in order that he might make certain of being kept beneath the surface leng enough to cause death before he could be rescued. Members of the crex of the pelice boat Joc Blackburn were soon drag- ging for the body, but darkness before their search had and the work had to bs this morning. Last night Mrs ed at the fourth precinct she identified the coat a band’s property. In the pock coat was his pocket book, as bunch of ki and these she as belong: ne money in the pocket book. Notwithstanding this complete identifica- tion, coupled with the circum: tioned, the little woman refu: that her husband had taken had been so good to her, she said, that she could not believe the worst.
