REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE Action Taken Against Occupation of Parks for Private Uses. OTHER BUSINESS CONSIDERED —>—__— The proposed code for the District was approved by the board of trade at a meet- ing which was held Saturday afternoon at Masonte Temple. There was a good attend- ance of the members when the meeting was called to order by Mr. John Joy Ed- son, the president of the board. The action taken by this body follows that of the Bar Association and places those two organ- izations in line in favor of the measure. The vote was « unanimous one. After the minutes of the previous meet- ing had been read by the secretary, Mr. George H. Harries, and approved President Edson announced that the purpose of the | meeting was to consider the report of the special committee on the proposed code of laws of the District. He said that for months past this subject had been given careful attention by the members of the bench and bar, and at a recent meeting of the Bar Association the code had been approved. It was now, he said, before the board for its action, and it was the hope that when the code came before Congress that body would give it speedy consideration. He then called upon Mr. R. Ross Perry, the chalr- man of the special committee on the code, who read the report, which in part was as follows: Report of the Committee. The report sketched the history of the preparation and exemination of the code, and stated that “for many years the necessity of a code of laws for the District of Columbia has been generally recognized by the courts, the bar and the citizens of the District generally. From time to time efforts have been made to supply the want, but each in turn failed. Finally, during the year 1806 the Bar Association of the Dis of Columbia and the board of in requesting Judge Walter S. Cox, whose eminent abilit experience both at the bar and upon bench of the Supreme Court of the I trict of Columbia especially qualified him for the work, to prepare such a code. Judge Cox kindly consented, and in the year 1808 completed a proposed code of laws for District. of Columbia, being aided by rict trade united a stenographer whose compensation was paid by the jointly. board and the Bar Association The provisions of this code we carefully considered by the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Colum- bia and also by a special committee of its Bar Association. The most active inter- est was taken in it by the former chairman of this special committee, the late A. T. Britton, whose untimely death we all de- plore. “The 18th y of February, 189, the code, as revised by the committee on legi lation of the Bar Associa in conjunc tion with the justices of the Supreme Court of the District, including Judge Cox, was introduced the Senate of the United in States as Senate bill No. 5530 of the Fifty- fifth Congress, third session. It should be mentioned that it was found impossible in the time at command to thoroughly review the second or municipal part of Judge Cox's code. So that the code, as submitted to Congress, contained only the first or gen- eral part of the code touching matters of general jurisprudence. It is very impor- tant that Congress should take action looking to a proper revision of the second or municipal part of the code: but, on the part of the bar, must be deferred until a uitable commission can be appointed by Congress to undertake that work. After the code had been printed as Senate bill 5530 a number of copies of the printed bill were circulated among the judges, the mem- bers of the bar and members of the board of trade. The legislative committee of the Bar Association has spared neither time nor labor in carefully going over this bill. Revised by Judges. “As a final precautioa a committee of the judges of the Supreme Court of the District, consisting of Judges Bradley, Cole and Barnard, sat with the legislative com- mittee of the Bar Association from day to dzy and from half after 10 until half after of each secular day in going over the bill together and in considering carefully and critically not only each of its pro- visions, but ev ‘din which the same was expressed. In addition to this, this jcint committee of the court and bar had before them suggesiions from many mem- bers of this board, fr6m members of the bar, from justices of the peace and from citizens gene! touching various proy ions of the c “All of these were carefully considered by the said joint committee. The final re- sult of their labors was submitted to the Rar Association of the District of Colum- bia on Saturday, the Wih instant, and was i wed by that ciation. So that this proposed code comes before the board of trade with the unanimous support of the Supreme’ Court of the District and of its bar. It has also received the unan mous approval of the special committe+ upon the code of this board of trade. “It is obviously imp ‘ible in this report to go into any detail with respect to the code’s provisions. The Bar Association of the District of Columbia was content to ac- cept them upon tie faith of the joint com- mittee of judges and lawye! Ii may be that there are snecia! provisions which may be considered not as favorab!e to spe- cial interests as those affected by said in- terests would desire. To ali such and to the members of the board of trade general- ly this committee desires to recall the words of Benjamin Franklin spoken in Sep- tember, before the convention assem- bled at Philade!phia to prepare a Constitu- tion for these United States. Reasons for Adoption. “Upon moving the adoption of the Consti- tution as reported to the convention Dr. Franklin, then eighty-one years of age, spoke at some length. The speech was ap- pended to the report. In part it is as fol- lows: “I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at pres- ent approve, but I_am not sure I shall never approve them. For, having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise. It is, therefore, that the older I grow the more apt-I am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others. “*T agree to this Constitution, with all its faults, if they- are such, because I think a general government necessary for us, and there is no form of government but what may be a blessing to the people if well ad- ministered. I doubt, too, whether any other convention we can obtain may be able to make a better Constitution. Thus I con- sent, sir, to this Constitution, because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best. The opinions I have had of its errors I sacrifice to the public good. “On the whole, sir, I cannot help express- ing a wish that every member of the con- vention, who may sti!l have objections to it, would with me, on this occasion, doubt a little of his own infallibility, and. to make manifest our unanimity, put his name to this instrument.’ ” Mr. Perry stated that since writing the report he had been informed that Mr. Worthingten had received a letter from Judge Cox, in which the latter said he nad gone over all the amendments of the code, ard that in its present shape it met with his approval. Mr. Perry's Remarks. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the report Mr. Perry said that almost every sentiment of Dr. Franklin, uttered on a grave occasion, found an echo in the situa- tion of today. He went on to say that for some years past efforts have been made to secure a code for the District, such as is found in other states, and he thought no previous -effort in this line had been at- tempted and carried on under more favor- able circumstances 7 figs 5 = said Judge Cox was specially well fitted to perform this task, and that his Imbors had been supplemented by that of the bar and the bench. He spoke of the time and thought. at much personal sacrifice, given to this code by Mr. A. S. Worthington and Mr. W. F. Mattingly. members of the com- mittee. and of the zeal displayed by Mr. Leon Tobriner, also a member of the com- mittee. He expressed the hope that ihe board would do as the Bar Association had done, and accept the report without discus- sion, as the scope of the code would make the latter practically endless, He offered a resolution that the board ap- Prove the report. und that the committee, in conjunction with the committee on Jegis- lation of the Bar Association, be authorized to urge the adoption of the code as sub- mitted, with such amendments as to details as the two committees may agree upon. Before the vote was taken Mr. W. F. Mattingly said he felt it was only right to inform the board that to Mr. Perry and his faithful devotion to this work much credit was due. The secretary read a commfnication from Mr. V. Baldwin Johnson, in which he pro- tested against a change in the number of the justices of the peace, which was re- ferred to the special committee on the code. The report and resolutions were then adopted without a dissenting vote and amid applause. On motion of Mr. Thomas Blagden a vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Perry and Mr. Mattingly and their associates on the committee for the time and labor which they have given to the consideration of the code. Preservation of Parks. A resolution called up by Mr. Henry F. Blount, chairman of the committee on parks and reservations, and adopted by that. committee, protesting against the use of any public park of the city, including Raw- lins Square. for other than park purposes, was ado) the committee was au- thorized to nt this protest to the Proper committees of Congress. The letter transmitting a report of the action of the corimittee also stated that the committee ored the purchase of the property on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue for sites for public buildings. In the opinion of Mr. Weller the position = the board in regard to the use of the pub- ¢ parks for other than park purposes was clear:y defined and also well understood by Congress. A continued reiteration might be 2 cause of irritation. Personally he wae opposed to the use of Rawlins Square for any pur; xcept 48 a park, but he fa- vored the occupation of Armory Square by the railroad company. The board had also indorsed the rallroad plan, and it was need- less, he thought, to open up the subject again. President Edson said the resolution mere- ly restated the position of the board on the park question. Upon a vote being taken the resolution as reported from the com- mittee in regard to the use of the publio adopted. ion was offered by Mr. Mahlon voring amendment of the war tax bill so to do away with a tax on the deed revenue double taxation—that i d of trust in real estate trans- referred to the committee on +> ASSOCIATION FORMED.

Hackett had spent Thursday ‘n Washington and staried alone, in an intoxi- cated condition, to walk home, and he was discovered by Mr. Bowman of Ednor two dsys later.
