LOCAL IMPORTANCE OF THE MEASURE Some of the Contentions That May Cause Discussion. WILL SOON COME UP The District of Columbia appropriation bill for the next fiscal year was passed by the Senate March 8, and for three months has been awaiting the action of the con- ferees. Its consideration in conference has been delayed from time to time, largely be- ctuse of pressing war measures and other appropriation bills, which have occupied the time of serators on the conference committee, and becaus2 of the telephone in- vestigation which has been conducted by the conferees on the House side. The conferees on the District of Co- lumbia bill ar2 Senators Allison, Cul- lom and Cockrell and Representatives Grout, Pitney and Deckery. Senator Alli- son is also on the conference committee in charge of the sundry civil bill, which has given him a number of knotty problems to deal with, and together with his other duties as chairman of the commitiee on appropriations ‘has made it impossibie for him to devote any time to the District bill. A second conference has been ordered on the sundry civil bill, and it is likely that Measure will be disposed of in several dzys, when the conferees on the District bili will be free to give that measure their attention. Important to District People. The District of Columbia appropriation bill for the next fiscal year is an extremely important one to the people of the capital city. It makes provision for the comple- tion of the Washington aqueduct tunnel and the Howard University reservoir, thus giving all parts of the city an ample sup- ply of water. It provides for extensions of sewers which are urgently needed and for the preparation of plans for a sewage pumping station, under the approved pr. ject for sewa, disposal in the Distric of Columbia, $25,000 being appropriated for such plans. A number of improvements for streets and avenues, both in the opening and grading of needed thoroughfares and the paving of streets much traveled are provided for. There will probably be little opportunity for a protracted contention among the con- ferees over the bill. So far as the Senate conferees are concerned, it is not lik that any effort be made to cut down any appropriations made by the House, and the Senate amendments being for improy ments that must be made in the near fu- ture, it is not likely the House conferees will be disposed to insist on sweeping changes in them. Such contention as thare may be over the bill in conference will be over the Senaie amendments, most of which are for in- creases of appropriations provided by the House or for new items. Many of these new items have been inserted in the bill with the approval of members of the ap- propriations committee of the House, who ar> ready to support them, but preferred having them go on the bill in the Senate. Charitable Institations. The appropriation for the charitable insti- tutions in the District of Columbia will cause considerable discussion in conference. The bill as it passed the House appropri- ated a lump sum of $08,700 for this purpose, the money to be expended under the direc- tion of the Commissioners, either under contract with responsible and competent persons or institutions or by 2mploying for the purpose the public institutions or agen- cies of the District of Columbia. The Sen- ate struck out this provision, and in its place appropriated for the institutions sep- arately, according to the old plan. Some of the additicaal appropriations in- serted in the bill for street improvements follow: Some Street Improvements. For repaving P street, from Rock creek to 29th street, $11,500; for paving west side of North Capitol street between P and Q, $8,000; completing asphalt pavement on 2th street from East Capitol to B street northeasi, $4,000; paving with aspha!t Ten- nessee avenue from East Capitol street to B street northeast, $7,000; paving Belmont avenue between 18th street extended and Columbia road, $1,000; grading and regu- lating Providence, Lansing, Hartford, 10th and 12th streets, Brookland, and complet- ing improvements and improving the con- nection between 12th street and Brentwood rood, $11,000. This item is in place of an appropriation of $9,000 “for grading and regulating Providence, Lansing, Hartford and 10th streets, Brookland.” For establishing the grade and improving Michigan avenue to a width of 100 feet from the southerly boundary of the Sol- diers’ Home grounds, $5,000; paving 16th Street extended, from the south side of Fiorida avenue to the north side of Morris street, $15,000; improvement of Connecticut avenue, west of Rock creek, $10,000; con- Unuing the tmprovement of the road ex- terding from Broad Branch road to Chevy Chase circle, $5,000; grading and graveling Flint street, Brightwood Park, $1,000; gra ing and graveling Albemarle st opening same, by purchase or condemna- Uen, to Grant road, continuing improve- ment, $9,000; paving 6th street, from Ficri- da avenue to Spruce street, Le Droit I $2,500; grading and regulating Kene avenue and Park road from 16th street ex- tended to Klingle Ford road, continuiag improvement, $5,000; improving Benning from 15th street east to Benning, grading and regulating Illinois ave- grading and paving Kenyon vetween 13th and 14th streets, $3,- 000; grading and paving 15th street from V street to Florida avenue, $3,000, The Senate also provided for accepting a dedication of land necessary for the open- ing of North Capitol street through the Barbour estate in consideration for whiclt that property is relieved of certain taxes for improvements to be made in the future. Schedules in Sections. The schedules for street improvements tn the several sections of the city were dou- bled in each case by the Senate, so that aa the bill passed that body the various schedules are as follows: Georgetown, $18,- 000; northwest, $58,000; southwest, $28,000; scutheast, $44,000; northeast, $52,000. ‘The Senate also appropriated $242,860.98 to be charged wholly to the revenues of the District of Columbia, to pay award of con- demnation for the extension of 16th street through Denison & Leighton’s subdivision of Mount Pleasant, and $6,000 for a topo- graphical survey of Georgetown and $2,000 for such a survey of that portion of the District lying east and south of the Eastern branch and in and near Takoma Park; also $15,000 for paving roadways under the per- mit system. For the free public library the Senate appropriat2d $6,720. The House aliowances for sewers, sub- urban and urban, were increased by the Senate, and these improvements are r3- garded as so essential to the health of the city that they are not likely to be cut down. The Senat> made provision for widening the road entrance to the Zoological Park along Adams Mill road, allowing $5,000 for that purpose. Street Cleanin, The bill contains an important item in relation to street cleaning, allowing a larger amount of hand work than has for- merly been utilized in that department. This item was placed in the bill by the Senate committee, and provides that not exceeding $30,000 of the appropriation for street cleanirg shall be expended by tha WHILE TH All who march, their shoes Allen or new —— — vents chafing, hot, smarting, blistered, awea Teet., All the regular army froope and’ navy. mes use it.

As this provision has the indorsement of the street cleaning department and it is urged that hand work is actually a saving under cer- tain conditions, the item is not likely to be eliminated from the bill. Electric Lighting. Electric lighting comes in for some legis- lation in the bill. All poles for such pur- poses in the section bounded by B street nerth, Ist street east and the fire limits and Rock creek must be removed, except in specific cases. All existing conduits in the fire limits and all overhead electric light wires without the fire limits are legal- ized by the bill, thus ending many conten- tions. The United States Electric Lighting Ccmpany is authorized to make important additions to its systems of conduits in the ncrthwest section, while the Potomac Com- pany is also allowed extensions. The Senate inserted provisions in the bill allowing $25,000 each for foundations for bridges across Rock creek on the line of Massachusetts and Connecticut avenues ex- tended. Provision is made for an investigation into the best metHods for filtering the Po- tomac river water, in addition to the appro- priation for completing the Washington aqueduct tunnel and Howard University reservoir, all improvements that are ur- gently needed. Public Schools. The public schools are greatly interested in amendments made in the Senate, and which will be before the conference com- mittee. These amendments provide for four school buildings, in whole or in part, as follows: Eight-room building and site, third division, southeast, $45,500; four- room building, Grant road, $12,000; eight- room building and site, ninth division, $41,250; site and toward construction man- ual training school for first eight divisions $50,000, the total cost_of such building and site not to exceed $125,000. ‘The conferees on the District of Columbia bill will probably get to work next week. SSS HELD FOR TRIAL, Alleged Assailant of a Young Lady to Be Tried. Elias Delaver, colored, was today held by Judge Kimball in bail for the action of the grand jury for assaulting Miss Noreh D. Catnon and robbing her of a gold ring valued at $8 while she was in a vacant house, No. 319 South Capitol street, on May 28. Miss Cannon testified that on the after- ncon in question she went to the house where the crimes are alleged to have oc- curred for the purpose of renting it. She had exarrined the first and second floors and was about to look at the third, when she was approached by a colored man, whom she identified as the prisoner, who said he was the watchman, and demanded to know what she wanted. She was star- tled, and for a moment or so could }.0t speak. ‘AS Scon as she was able to collect her thoughts and regained ability to talk, fear- ing that he would insult or murder her, she toid Delaver tlat she would give the latter her jewelry and money if he would do her no injury. Without replying to her remark Delaver, she said, struck her several terrific blow with his fist about the head. She resisted, but the blows finally felled her to the floo- and then he kicked her in the head. Sk remembered that Delaver took a gold ring from her finger, but no more, until she found herself in Providence Hospital under the care of a doctor. Miss Cannen was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Campbell Carrington, coun: for Delaver, but she stuck to her sto and positively identified Delaver as her as sallant. Sergt. John C. Daley of the fourth pre- cinct told how in response to information that a woman had been beaten he went to the house No. 319 South Capitol street. Arriving there, the sergeant found that Miss Cannon had been removed to Prov- nee Hospital, and he went there. Miss mnon was at first unable to recognizs him, but a little later gave him such a gcod descrintion of her assailant that the witness arrested Delaver. Sergt. Daley tcok Delaver before Miss Cannon, and the ter identified the prisoner as the man 0 had assaulted and robbed her. Sergt. ley, when Miss Cannon became better, took Delaver, with two other men who look something I'ke the prisoner, and Miss Can- non picked Delaver out from the party as ilant. noon of May carrying a sket of marketing, when he '$ nearly run over by a colored man, running very fast and seemed to to evade arrest. He identified be Delaver as the man. i Mr. Carrington said there was no doubt trying , but that the crime that Miss Cannon was assaul he would be able to prove that was not committed by his client. To this Judge Kimball replied that the point was one that he as a committing magistrate could not take into considera- tion. ——_-_—_ HOLMES’ HONORS. MR. Washington Scientist Receives Important Prize. The award of the Le Duc de Loubat prizes, founded with Columbia College of New York, to be awarded once in five years, for the most noteworthy works on American anthropology, has been made, and the first grand prize of $1,000 was cap- tured by Mr. William Henry Holmes of Washington, head curator of anthropology at the United States National Museum, and fcrmerly curator of the department of ethnology in the Field Columbian Museum at Chicago. Le Due de Loubat is American born, of French descent. inheriting his title from big father. He is immensely wealthy, and is a ecsmopolitan, spending a greater portion of his time, howe in New York city. He recently gave $1,000,000 to Columbian Col- lege in that city, aside from founding the prizes for anthropological works. The award of these prizes is the first that has been made, and the importance of the wcrks submitted in competition canuot be overestimated. Judges are appointed for each five-year period. The committee of judges which has just completed Its ser- vices was composed of Professor H. T. Peck of Columbia College, Dr. Daniel G. Brinton and Professor W. J. McGee of the bureau of ethnology in this city. Besides carefully scanning the works re- ceived in competition, the committee also examined such other works relating to American archaeology as have been pub- lehed in the English language during the last three years. In the consideration of the monographs the committee took into account not only the scientific value cf the work, but also the importance of the sub- ject treated, the method of investigation pursued by the authors, and the artistic and literary excellence of the presentation. The monographs that were formally sub- mitted for examination were the produc- tions of eight different authors. Of these the committee selected as being the most meritorious and as fully complying with vhe conditions prescribed for the competi- tion the treatise offered by Mr. William Henry Holmes of Washington, the title of whose treatise was “Stone Implements of the Potomac-Chesapeake Tidewater Provinces.” In recommending the award of the first prize of $1,000 to Mr. Holmes, the committee sa “This volume may be held to mark an epoch in American archaeological research by interpreting the remarkably abundant artifacts of a typical region in the light of previous studies of actual aboriginal nandi- work, and thus establishing a basis for the classification of the stone art of the western hemisphere. lt is the result of many years of personal study, numerous experiments and close typological analysis, and is supplied with a wealth of illustra- tive material that gives it most exceptional interest and value.” The second prize of $100 was awarded to Dr. Franz Boas of the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Natnral History of Ne the subject of whose monograph w. Bociel Organization and Secret Societies of the Kwakiut! Indians. Honcrable men- tion is due Dr. Karl Lumboltz, who treated the subject: “Objective Symbolism of the Huichol Indians,” and Mr. Frank H. Cush- ing of Washington, who offered a manu- script interpretative of aboriginal art and industry, under the title: “Tomahawk and Calumet, Shield and Gorget,” and Dr. Wal- ter Hoffman, whose extended memoirs em- bodied a careful study of the Ménomini indians. The committee also especially commended the work of Alfred P. Mands- lay of London, dealing with the archaeolo- gy of Central America, but which was not submitted or completely published. an If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

ARGUMENTS BY DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL District Attorney to Make the Closing Speéch Tomorrow. REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE “Indeed, I shall hug every one of the jury,” cried Mrs. Dennis Canty today, standing with her arm locked in her hus- band’s arm as they waited during the re- cess in the cells in the city hall basement. She replied, with the color swiftly rising in her cheeks, to the prediction, cautiously ventured to her by a court attache, that her husband will be a free man Sunday next. District Attorney Davis has promised that he will begin his closing argument at 1 o'clock tomorrow and give the case to the Jury in the afternoon in time for a verdict before midnight. It is not expected that the jury will be leng in announcing their conclusion. The opinion very generally expressed by law- yers who have watched the proceedings is that the government has not made out a case of murder, and the guess is hazarded that the jury will either acquit or be un- able to agree. Mr. Worthington’s Argument. “Shall I proceed, your honor?” question- ed Mr. Worthington of Judge Cole at 5 minutes past 10 o'clock. His honor nodded affirmatively, and the leading counsel for the defense slowly walked over to the lit- tle arena in front of the jury. There he laid on a table 2 formidable pile of notes, and after draining a glass of ice water commenced his long task. He spoke quiet- ly and with seeming self-conviction. For the first fifteen minutes his voice barely Tose abcve a conversational tone. The jury listened intently, and their glances seldom strayed from his face. A stranger glancing into the court room might have known, without prompting, that Canty was the defendant on trial for his life, for no other man in the room plainly showed keen, est at the counse fellow, large-eyed, square-shouldered ifts him far aboy This alone him out from above its lev e nd with a frame men of the av would serve to mong a crowd or lift him but add to it the strained, alert, ten: look which held hi counte- rance vis . and there could be no mi ‘a that his was the life whi at stake.

Evidefice Analy: After solemnly remindifg the jury that they were to jetermine a question involving a man’s Ife or liberty, Mr. Worthington without delay began his cnalysis of the 2vi- dence. B2ginning with the trouble over the money which Canty owed: Rye, and Rye’s rote which the defenilant obt sion of, the spesker,.dweit w upon the testimony rzganding “Now, gentlemen,” he. said, the evidence about the knife, showing the knife. “we come to and Fewant you to pay particular attention, as the question is whether there Was or not a knife. Burch, the soldier boy; Polkinhorn and Norris all three saw something in Rye’s hand. One thought it was perhaps an eye glass, another small bright object and the third'a penknife. And if th2re was no other evidence you would have to take the word of Defendant Canty that it was a knife. Fortunately for the defendant, whom the istrict attorney is trying to send to the gallows, there are two witnes who v es ho probably id he saw tha knife. The boy Frye, w more than any one else, blade of a penknife stfcking fre hand. And now I declare that Can ing there with this enraged man front of him threatening his lif knife, but did not see its size, and pelled through fear to defend himself. Discussing Canty's actions during the fa- tal encounter, Mr. Worthington said that witnesses have shown that Rye was never more enraged in his life than he was seen to be then, and that Canty was observed to turn pale and to act “like a baby,” dra- matically quoted Mr. Worthington, ‘‘or lik a man whose manhood had deserted him. He said the district attorney had made an effort to show that Rye had a habit of twirling an open-bladed penknife in his hand, of which it was presumed that Canty was aware, but the testimony of the mai who knew him very intimately, Col. Ayr was that he never knew of Rye hav such a habit. “In beginning this trial,” continued Mr. Worthington, “Mr. Davis said it was a most mysterious case, involving the bur- glarious or otherwise obtaining of the re- volver from Waldorf’s store and the find- ing of a knife, not bought in this city, near the body of Rye.” The Mystery Dinxpelled. Mr. Worthington claimed that the evi- dence has dispelled all mystery, if any ever existed, and it has been shown that the revolver was purchased from Pawn- broker Grose several years ago. “Why, Canty himself aided the prosecu- tion In locating the store where he pur- chased the revolver. He said he thought ic was some place on a side street where there were a number of pawnshops. One of you jurors suggested that it might be E street. Canty volunteers to go there, and, indeed, he did, attempting to identify it. He testified that he believed the store was now a grocery, and was either 1007 or 1009 E street, and through this it was found that Grose’s was the place. If Canty was lying would he have tried to find the place where he bought the weapon?” Mr. Worthington then said it had been shown that Canty kept that pistol in his house for legitimate purposes of defense, and that he was not in the habit of carry- irg it on his person. In this way, step by step the speaker went through the testimony concerning Canty’s actions at home and down town the day before the shooting and also on the day of the homicide. “We find that this man,” said Mr. Worthington, referring to Rye, “from Moylan’s evidence, the night before the shooting took a,drink of whisky. It was unusual, significant, that this man whose profession required that he keep his nerves in steady: condition, who was never before seen to drink whisky, who Gid not even smoke for fear of unnerving himself—it was significant, I say, that after the altercation, Monday he took a drink of whisky as if bracing himself for something to come.” Mr. Worthington reviewed the evidence which showed that Rye was in an ugly frame of mind the morning of the shoot- ing; that when he was standing tn front of No. 1831 F street he Jooked grim and angry, and that he was seen by the boot- black, Frye, to go up and down past that place a number of times. Large Crowd Gathers, ‘Within an hour after the opening the court room was crowded—more densely so than upon any other day during the trial. Judge Scott of the Police Court came in shortly after 11 o'clock, and, taking a seat beside Justice Cole, watched the proceed- ings. A number of distinguished lawyers were patient listeners, and small crowds hung outside the open doorways and in the corridor which looks across a court into the court room, It was much cooler than yes- terday and refreshing breezes braced the ayer of the weary participants in the al : ~ Discussing the testimony of Rhodes for the government, Mr. Worthington said that “that sweet-faced boy's” evidehce is of the greatest value, and yet Mr. Shilling- ton overlooked it yesterday in his argu- ment.

The Giesboro road, the Commissioners say, could be im- proved at considerably less cost, probably for but little more than one-half of the above sum, while the amount of land to b> acquired would be much less. The Commis- sioners believe that the Gi2sboro’ road would afford as convenient access to the United States farm, and it could, they say, be much more readily opened. ——— Resignation Accepted.
