The resolutions refenred to included those adopted by the American Federation of Labor, Columbia Typographi- cal Union, house of representatives of Michigan, senate of New Jersey, Typo- graphical Union No. 6 of New York, Cali- fernia asseminy, Utah legislature and Na- ticnal Building Trades Council.

The union indorsed a communication from the American Federation of Labor request- arg all naticnal, centrat ana local umons to Petition their senators and representatives in Congr to vote for “an amendment te the eight-hour law which shall extend tion and operation to all work fs e use of the writ of injunction put also the repeal of the s utes under which seamen are perpetual injunction not to quit . and under which they maf be com- to continue to labor for vidual or corporation fainst their will, though the vessel is in safe or; also @ jaw to prevent the transportation for sale of prison-made goods from one state or teri y into any other state or terri- tery: als migrz a law to restrict unde ron. mmunication was referred to the ittes for such additional r to take. ‘tary was directed to write to th> headquarters of a certain bicycle con- cern, whose products are sold in Washing- rable im- ten. and inform the firm that it is the in- tention of the Central Labor Union to do n the power of the m the sale of its wheels here, for the reason that a committce of the Central Labor Union, which was appointed to investigate the matter, has learned that the girls em- th2 firm are paid but ir work, and “that these gi 1 at metal polishing, one of ealthy branches of work ever hat few persons can stand it, them grinder: consumption, live over fifteen years at the bers to prevent the most u: ergaged in; as it si and v trade. Laber in the District. De ate Spohn reported that the legisla- tive committe>, of which he is chairman, had sent to the District Commissioners a copy of a bill which will be submitted to Ccreress in reference to the employment ef labor in the District of Columbia, and which was as follows: it enacted by th> Senate and House tatives of the United States of Congre em on and after the passage of this ll be unlawful to let by adver- pal work rict of Colum- “That all such work and improvement shail be di and performed by direct em- ployment by the proper municipal authori- ties of the District of Columbia, under the direction and control of the Commission- ers of said District of Columbia, and all persons employed upon such work and im- proveme hall be paid, respectively, the maximum wages and compensation ‘that in said District of Columbia rsons for lik> and similar ser- : Provided, That this act shall not af- impair or modify any existing con- tract or any provisions thereof.” Letter of Transmittal. The bill was accompanied by a letter of ttal, as follows: Honorable ‘Beard of Commission- ers, District of Columbia: “The undersigned, the legislative com- mittee of the Central Labor Union, trans- mit for your consideration the inclosed Bill, entitled an ‘Act to regulate the em- ployment of labor in the District of Co- } ; You will observe that the purpose of this bill is to abolish the contract system in so far as {t applies to municipal work in the District of Columbia, and provides that such work shall be performed by di- rect employment by the proper municipal authorities. The measure has been ap- ed by the Central Labor Union, and is Tespectfully submitted for your approval. “The workmen allied with this body, par- iy those of the building trades, be- t the measure proposed, if legaliz~ ed by statute, would result in better con- struction, at no more cost, than under the contract system. They are therefore grati- fied that after full inquiry into the meth- ods of the contract street sweeping service you have recommended to Congress such legisiation as will provide that all such hall be done by day labor under your ion, without contract. n the transmittal to the House com- mittee on appropriations of an amendment which you desire to have incorporated in the District appropriation bill you urge, as reasons for the proposed discontinuance of contract work, that you have become con- vinced that the work can be done by day labor not only much cheaper, but also much more satisfactorily to the people of the District, and that not only will the dis- cont system give syment to many more men than are nployed, but it will also enable you higher wages than they re- oe ve also indorsed the statement of Mr. Warner Stutler, superintendent of Street sweeping, who, after full inquiry and careful observation, favors your prop- osition and submits statements to prove that direct municipal control, without the interference of the middleman ofcontract- or, would be much preferable to the pres- ent em. Cost of Street Sweeping. his report he s ‘lL submit that t will be less if the cleaning be done vely by direction of the Commis- than it is or has been by the other and experience and observation that more satisfactory results may be expected by municipal supervision di- rect. “It is also true, in addition to securing better work, and making allowance for a ys 1 r f men at an advance in Wages, t District will save money avnually tigation proves that the contractor's profits me@y be employed to in- crease the force at higher wages and still keep well within the estimated appropria tion. ““A principal advantage of the proposed ontract work is that the em- s will be under direct control of the t government, so that when any sec- shall require special attention any de- :red portion or all of the force may be ence transferred to the work, with no con. tractor to consult, no liability to infringe upon another's rights, and avoiding conten- tlen as to compensation for extra work. “Another point in favor of municipal control is that bur one set of employes will be under supervision, with no clauses of contract. to interpret in cases where the work may be slighted; the work of super- vision can be brought within smaller com- pass and inferior work reduced to the min- imum, because, largely, of the absence of metive or inierest to do inferior work or to wholly neglect any part of the area. Under municipal contre! there will be no confi ing interests, and the principal effort may then be to insure the best work possible at the least expense consistent with justice to the labor employed. If an employe then neglects the duties assigned to him the remedy may be applied direct.’ Now, we submit: Cannot these state- ments be as cogently and truthfully urged against the entire public contract system? “You are aware of the evils of the public contract system, and that municipal con- tract work has been wasteful and unsatis- factory; that contract requirements have been evaded and inferior material has been used and faulty work constructed by cheap and inefficient labor. You ere also aware that the same motives which would actu- ate the street sweeping contractor to inter- et clauses of a contract as a license to slight work would animate the contractor for other work, and that as e matter of public policy and morals it is as necessary te eliminate the contractor on other lines of municipal work as it is in the street sweeping department. “It is hoped that the measure submitted will be duly considered, and that you will inform the committee of your conclusion at_your earliest convenience.” ‘The communication was signed by Mil- ford Spehn, J. M. Kreiter, Henry Lewis, J. J. Bermingham, Richard Lanis, committee. ————— 5 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR WORK. Plans Outlined at Meeting of the Executive Committee. A meeting of the executive committee of the District of Columbia Christian En- deavor Union was held last eyening In the vestry of Calvary Baptist Church. The most important matter under considera- tion was a plan for the collection and pub- lication of news relative to the work of the churches and young people’s societies of the District. The meettng was opened with the usual devotional exercises, con- ducted by the president, Mr. Grant Leet, and a short song service, under the direc- tion of Mr. Page L. Zimmerman. After the reading of the minutes the treasurer presented a report of the finances for the month ending February 1, showing a bal- arce on hand of $25.15. President Leet briefly business of the evening. the proposed plan for news. Mr. Miles M. Shand, a member of the Fress committee, then’ outlined the plan, which is, in brief, as follows: A correspon- dent is_to be appointed in each society, whose duty it shall be to transmit to the chairman of the press committee items of news from his own field. These will then be edited and furnished to the daily papers. Mr. John B. Sleman, jr., spoke briefly upon the topic, “How and What to Write. He said that w the newspapers nted were crisp, newsy paragraphs relating to ke important events in the work of the society. No attempt at essay writing should made, for the ideal news item told its story in the simplest way possible. Elections of officer: reports of social events and plans for new work would al- ways be acceptable, he thought, but no one need be disappointed if his contribution do net appear as originally written. Mr. A. L. Dietrick answered a number of ques- tions concerning the werk contemplated. The report of the good literature com- mittee, presented by Miss Zue H. Brockett, stated that this committee was outlining a stematic plan by which good reading matter may be secured and advantageously disiributed. The committee finds that there are four churches which provide a free reading room, while there are fifteen liter- ary circles and a number of lecture courses. An effort has been made to learn where good reading matter would be most appre- ciated, and a list has been made, which in- cludes the engine houses and truck houses of the fire depariment, the police stations and various hospitals and other institu- ticns, making a total of fifty-nine. A let: ter has been received from Commissioner Wight expressing his approval of the plans of the committee. Mr. F. M. Bradley reported for the good citizenship committee, which has been do- ing its regular work. He announced a pa- triotic meeting, to be held the morning of Washington's birthday, Tuesday, February in the Ninth Street Christian Church. Reports were also received from the look- out and missionary committees. Rev. C. H. Butler announced a rally of the junior societies, which will take place at the Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church the evening of Friday, February 18, at which an illustrated address on the “Life of Chri will be given by Rev. S. M. New- man, D. D. The following appoincmerts were made upon the union committees: Lookout—A. A. Buck of First Congrega- tional Church, T. P. Hickman of the Church of the Reformation and Miss Clara Burroughs of the Metropolitan Presbyter- ian Church. Missionary—Dr. G. T. Prewett of the Ver- mont Avenue Christian Church. Auditing—D. F. Harris, L. O. Mallery, S. T. Smith, N. E. Webster, jr., and Chas. F. Crane. Mr. A. Rankin Thornton was elected as- ‘tant recording secretary and Mr. W. W. Everett was chosen a member of the com- mittee on transportation to the internation- al convention, to be held in Nashville next July. The meeting closed with the Mizpah benediction. A meeting of the corresponding secreta- ries was held preceding the meeting of the executive committee, at which thirty-three societies were represented. Plans for the extension of the work of the secretaries were discussed, with special reference to the help that could be given to the presi- dents of the societies. > — HIS SON ACCUSES HIM. stated the special that of presenting gathering church Called for Defense the Witness is Dis- appointing. Charles Emanuel Davis, a tall colored man who is well known in police circles, was a prisoner in Judge Kimball's court this morning on a charge of vagrancy. Davis lives in a house on Washington street. Policeman Whitaker, who made the arrest, accused him of drunkenness. “During the past six months,” said the officer, “I've seen him from one to three times a week, and he is usually under the influence of liquor.” “Do you usually see him on the street or in his house?" asked Judge Kimball. “Both,” answered the officer. “I've been called to his house a number of times be- cause of trouble, and last night he was pursuing a man with a knife.” Policeman Coune told the court that he had seen Davis in the disreputable part of the city under the influence of liquor. “When was the last time you saw him?” “I think it was in December,” the officer responded, “and it was about 4 o'clock in the morning. He was at a saloon door waiting for the saloon to open.” “Do you krow what his business is?” the officer was asked by defendant's counsel. “I never knew that he had any business,” responded the officer. ‘“‘When I see him he is usually hanging about the streets. “Don’t you know he’s a tar roofe: “IT do not.” “Ever since the death of my father,” said the prisoner, “I’ve been following the tar rocfing busines: “But what about your drinking?” quired the court. “I take a drink occasionally, but I’ve only been drunk once since Christmas.” it had been stated that Davis had played a piano in a disreputable house, but the laiter said he had not done so for five years. “) stopped playing.” he said, “because it was distasteful to my wife. I can't be a vagrant, because I work every day.” “A man may work every day and get drunk every night,” said the judge. “If he dees this he comes within the vagran- cy law.” Detense called Davis’ son in his behalf, but the testimony given by the young man was favorable to the prosecution. “My father’s been drunk about fifteen times since Christmas,” the young man in- said. “Do you drink?” Judge Kimball asked the son. “No, sir,” he answered. “And,” added the judge, “I hope you never will.” “I don’t intend to follow in my father’s footstep: “Haven't you been in the reform school?” Attorney Moss asked. “Yes, sir," was the young man’s answer. “I was sent there by the lying of others.” “Do you rrean to say that your father Med?" “The Bible says if a man tells a lie he Must be told of it.” Judze Kimball! made some remarks about a man of family indulging in so much liquor and sentenced Davis to thirty days on the farm in default of real estate se- curity. a’ Commissioner Duell Signs the Patents The commissioner of patents inaugurated his term of office today by signing the petents tssued during the week. His first signature was placed upon the patent of Stephen Jarvis Adams of Pittsburg, Pa., for a device for forming sand molds.

Meeting of Columbia Historical So- clety at the Shoreham—Topics Dis- cussed and Officers Chosen. A meeting of the Columbia Historical So- cfety was held last evening in the banquet hall of the Shoreham. The president of the society, Mr. Joha A. Kasson, was in the chair. Mr. Henry B. Looker, the sur- veyor of the District, read a paper tracing the history of the surveyor’s office, which ecvered the period between the date when the commissioners were appointed to take charge of the establishment of the capital eity down to the time when a city surveyor was first appointed, and afterward elected by the people of the District. When the territorial form of government Was established, Mr. Looker stated, the office became again appointive, as it re- mains at present, the power to fill this of- fice being exercised by the District Com- missioners. Mr. Looker said an index was being pre- pared of the records now on file in the of- fice, a copy of which, when completed, would be deposited with the society. Protection of Record: Mr. Looker also pointed out the import- arce of providing a fire-proof room or vault when the valuable land records of the Dis- trict, now in the custody of the office, could be securely kept. He said that what was needed was something similar to that which had been obtained through the efforts of Mr. McGill, the register of wills, for the safekeeping of the records of that office. A discussion followed the reading of the paper, and Dr. J. Dudley Morgan referred to the services of Major L’Enfant, the de- signer of the plan of the city, and displayed photographs taken by himself of L’Enfant’s grave, which is on the farm of the Misses Riggs, near Bladensburg. As the photo- graph shows, no stone marks the spot and hardly a mound remains to indicate where the remains of the great engineer lie. The president, Mr. Kasson, said when he was a member of Congress he had offered a bill providing for the erection in this city of a monument to the memory of L'Enfant. No action, however, was taken by the national body. Changes in Constitution. Some changes in the constitution of the society were adopted, one of which provides for a new officer, to be known as the chron- icler, whose duty shall be the preparation and presentation at each annual meeting of a succinct statement of the principal events of historic interest which have transpired within the District of Columbia during the preceding calendar year. After presentation of annual reports the election of officers was held, which resulted in the choice of the following: President, John A. Kasson; first vice president, A. B. Hagner; second vice president, A. R. Spof- ford; treasurer, J. Dudley Morgan; record- ing secretary, Mrs. Mary Stevens Beall; corresponding secretary, M. I. Weller; cura- tor, James F. Hood; chronicler, W. B. Bryan. W. J. McGee and Marcus Baker, whose terms as members of the board of man- agers had éXpired, were re-elected. Messrs. Weston Flint, Simon Wolf and Walter Paris were elected members of the society. _——— MEXICO WANTS AMERICAN MONEY. Government Negotiating With New York Capitalists for a Loan. From the New York Journal today: The Mexican government, which has hith- erto invariably gone to Europe for its finan- cial accommodation, has turned to this country at last. Negotiations have been opened with J. & W. Seligman & Co., the bankers of this city, for the refunding of the entire national gold debt of the rcpub- lic, commonly known as the external debt, which amounts to about $109,000,000. It bears interest at 6 per cent in gold, and 1s redeemable July 1 next. The report excited interest in Wall street yesterday, inasmuch as it is the first ime that any foreign country has underiaken to float a loan here. That American bankers are considering the Mexican proposition, moreover, brings out with particular prom- inence the fact that this is no longer a debtor, but a credit nation. Hitherto it has owed money to Europe. Now it is Europe thanks to the phenomenal wheat market, and the equally remarkable boom in export trade of manufactured goods, that owes America money. As was remarked yesterday, it will not be long before other Spanish-American, if not European nations, will follow Mexico's ex- ample and come to the United States when they have loans to raise. At the office of Seligman & Co. informa- tion was refused yesterday regarding the pending negotiations. They said it was too early to discuss the matter. The bonds representing Mexico's external loan are largely held in England, Germany and Holland. The scheme, it is understood, is to issue new bonds in their place, in or- der to scale the interest down from 6 to 444 or 4 per cent. While the matter fs in the hands of the New York bankers, it is be- lieved that European capitalists have been approached with a view of taking whatever portion of the big issue may be left after American investors have sent in their sub- scriptions. = ——————— DR. EVANS’ WILL TO BE CONTESTED. Announcement Made by Attorney of a Nephew, Dudolf Evans. A special cable dispatch to the Philadel- pbia Press from Paris says: The will of the millionaire dentist, Thos. W. Evans, who attempted to bequeath the most of his fortune, amounting to some- thing like $10,000,000, to the establishment of a dental institute and museum named after himself, in Philadelphia, is to be contested. The matter came up in the Palais de Justice Saturday, and a lawyer represent- ing Rudolf H. Evans, brother of the famous dentist, announced that he would contest the will, though by so doing he forfeits $10,000 left him by his brother, a clause in the will disinheriting any legatee who shall attempt to contest. Rudolf Evans ts the father of the Mar- quis Doyley, nephew of Dr. Evans, who is also a dentist in Paris, and whom Dr. Evans took great pains to disinherit. The will expressly states that neither the Mar- quis Doyley, who was originally John Henry Evans, nor any of his descendants shall receive anything from Thomas W. Evans’ estate, this clause in the will, reading, “This I do after mature reflec- tion and for reascns known as well to the said John Henry Evans as to me.” These reasons, according to Thomas W. Evans, were that John Henry wore deco- rations to which he had no right; that he assumed the title of baron without au- thority from the college of heralds; that he falsified the Evans family tree to suit his own purposes, and finally succeeded in being made Marquis Doyiey by the pope. - John Henry's decorations were particu- Jarly disagreeable to Thomas W., who look- ed upon the other as a presumptous imi- tator of himself, the most decorated man in Europe. A number of American heirs under the will that is to be contested are in Paris, end have been for several weeks search- ing vainly for a later will. The idea that another is extant is now given up and a contest is consequently about to be begun. ——+e2—____ Frank Magowan, jr., in Jail. A dispatch from Trenton yesterday says: Frank A. Magowan, jr., was arrested this afternoon on the complaint of Alexander Rickey, deputy secretary of state, who charges the young man with breaking and entering his house and robbing him of $700. The prisoner is the son of Trenton’s former mayor, whose domestic and business af- fairs have been under discussion for sev- eral years. He is the eldest son, now eigh- teen years of age, and until recently was a student in the Lawrenceville school. He has been held under bonds for the next grand jury. Young Magowan’s arrest is the result of detective work on the part of Mr. Rickey himself, who has been for thirty years an attache of the secretary of state’s office.
