QUESTION BEFORE COMMISSIONERS ProtestAgainst Interpretation Made by the District Registrar. STATEMENT IN DEFENSE Two interpretations of the schedule of the water rents fixed by the District Com missioners, March 17 of this year, have just been laid Defore that body. One of these Interpretations Is in the nature of n strong protest against the practice of the water registrar, alleged to have been In augurated under ihe new schedule. In treating every pri'.'ate dwelling as a tene ment house, where one or more rooms ma> be rented by the tenant or owner, and u charge of 50 cents ridded to the water bill for each room alleged to be rented. The protest is filed b> Messrs. Britton & Gray, attorneys. In answer to this. Water Registrar Green has submitted in writing his understanding of the schedule, embrac ing his right to make such a charge. The subject of the protest by Britton & Gray has also been a cause of individual complaint on the part of many tenants and owners, who have been charged additional amounts this year to cover rooms rented by them. The schedule of water rates under which the charge is .made, is as follows. "The rate for domestic purposes will be charged according to stories and front feet. On ail tenements two stories high, with a front width of sixteen feet or less. ?{.50 per annum. For each additional front foot, or fraction thereof. 23 cents. For each additional story or part thereof, one-third of the charges as computed above "Boarding and tenement houses will be charged at a rate in accordance with the stories and front feet, and in addition thereto 50 cents per annum for each and every room over and above the number of three rooms in said boarding house or tenement." Term Tenement House Defined. The definition of a tenement house is given in the communication of Britton & Gray. It Is taken from the American and English Encyclopedia of Law, which is de clared by them to be the legal interpreta tion. as follows: "Tenement houses, French fiats, apart ment houses: The word 'tenement* in the sense here used signifies 'a house or home stead,' or 'rooms let in a house.' The com pound word tenement-house' must, there fore. signify a house with distinct tene ments or homes which separate, and dif ferent families or persons occupy as ten ants. as distinguished from boarding houses or hotels where the occupancy is not one of tenancy, but that of boarders or guests." In commenting on this definition Messrs. Britton & Gray say: "This practical and settled definition has apparently hitherto controlled in applying the foregoing sched ule of water rates, until the present fiscal year, when a new and novel departure therefrom has been inaugurated. ? ? ? This has resulted in individual injustice In many thousands of cases, some of which are now brought to our attention, where many private families occupying small dwellings have rented one or more rooms, not as distinct tenements or homes which separate or distinct families or persons occupy as tenants, but as part of the same family occupation, and where there is necessarily common use of the water fa cilities for which the 'domestic rates' are charged and paid. Held to He TCot Justified. "This innovation Is not justified, first, by the language or meaning of your regula tion; nor, second, by the legal definition thereof, nor. again, by any consideration of simple justice. Its enforcement against ten previous years of directly opposite practice will injure many persons of lim ited means, whose occupation of modest dwellings is made possible in thousands of instances by renting one or more rooms to individuals, whose occupancy and use of the water facilities of the dwelling Is wholly in common with the family of the tenant or small owner, and in no possible manner a separate tenement or home. "The regulation should hence be applied now as it has always been hitherto, and we respectfully submit that the water reg istrar and the collector of taxes should be immediately so advised, in order that bills may be properly correcteel and this plainly unjust charge upon dwelling house occu pants may not be imposed." Water Registrar's Position. The communication of Water Registrar Green, which defines his position in impos ing the charge, is as follows: "1 have the honor to report that a clause in the act of June 2. 185ft, of the legislative assembly, prescribed as followsw: 'Hotels and boarding houses shall. In addition to the regular annual water rate for private families, as prescribed in the twenty-fourth section of this act. be charged for each 1 bedroom for boarders e>r lodgers within the same the sum of 50 cents.' It would ap pear from this act that the intent was to charge for each and every bed room rented out. "This regulation has since been varied to cover a broader field, and we find the fol lowing language in the last revision of the schedule of rates adopted by the Commis sioners December 2<>, 1800: 'Boareling, i apartment and tenement houses shall be j charged at a rate In accordance with the stories and front feet and In addition there to 50 cents per annum for each and every room over and above the number of three | rooms in the said boarding, apartment or tenement house.' "The practice of charging for rooms has ! been in vogue since the inception of the water department, but until the re-exami nation of the entire District was begun. No vember. 1000, the department was without knowledge of a majority of houses which rented out rooms. At this period the ques tion was ralse*d as to whether or not, where a private famiiy rented out a room or more, the regulation should be enforced to the letter, and such houses charged for all rooms above three, or only charged for the actual number sublet. The matter was referred to the Engineer Commissioner, who directed the office in such cases to ! charge only for the number of rented rooms. "The words 'boarding, apartment and ten ement' in the schedule are broad enough to cover each and every case where rooms are sublet, and the only point remaining in doubt is whether the office shall continue to place a liberal construction ,upon the said regulation or take it as found and charge for all rooms above three." Low-Rnte Tour to tlie l'aciflc Coast. Another opportunity to visit California under the Pennsylvania railroad personally conducted tour system. On September 23 the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will . run another low-rate personally conducted ] tour to the Pacific coast, covering a period of thirty days.

Clark's New Royals are a thoroughly up-to-date aggregation of un usual excellence, and the entermalnment put up by them drew two packed houses yesterday afternoon and evening. All of the turns In the olio are above the average, while some of them are of such unquestion able merit as to call for special praise. Lew H. Carroll and Maude Elllsten, well known In this city, open the olio with a curious mix-up of song, rapid-fire talk and dancing. Both are clever, and the act goes with a rush. Burgess, Smith and Burger display their prowess In an acro batic turn, with a whirlwind finish that took the house by storm. Llllie English, billed as specially imported from England by Manager Clark, sang a number of bal lads that pleased her auditors, and Fields and Wooley, the well-known German dia lect comedians, gave vent to some new German "loose talk" that proved .entertain ing and humorous. Leslie and Rhlnehart in troduce some of the new songs of the sea son in a decidedly clever way, and dance with spirit and skill. Coulter and Starr, who are as well known, perhaps, as any other team on the vaudeville stage as black face comedy artists, presented a turn that abounded In good songs and excellent dances, and Bedinl and Arthur, another English im portation of Manager Clark's, put up a juggling turn that has not been equaled on Kernan's stage for many seasons. A comedy element Is added to the more diffi cult work of Bedinl by Arthur, and the latter's antics were sufficient to keep the house in a roar during most of the time he was on the stage. The burlesque which brings the show to a close is a new one by Lew Carroll. It Is most effectively staged and handsomely costumed, while there are a score of pretty girls, half a dozen good comedians, new songs and dances and. In fact, almost everything that goes to make the successful modern bur lesque. It Is entitled "Off to Buffalo," the first scene depicting the gay company In the Grand Central railroad station in New York, the second carrying them to the Pen-American expostion. The fun furnish ed Is of an unusually clean variety, and there Is enough of it to keep the skit going with a rush from the time the curtain rises until it falls again.

Opinion bj Attorney Oavall Approv* lng Exemption of Aobalancei and Street Cnr Eme^genciea. In response to tha^ recant request of the District Commissioners for a legal opinion on the proposed new speed regulations for municipal vehicles, Attotney A. B. Duvall has responded with an approval of the regulations with two slight amendments. The new regulations provide that: "\ ehlcles of the police, fire, health and water departments and hospital ambulances shall have the right of way in the streets over all others, and the sounding of the bell or gong thereon shall constitute a warning and direction to other vehicles and pedestrians to clear the road. In cases wherein the emergency Is so great that more than ordinary speed is required to save human life or to prevent great Incon ?'enA^nce to the public, the regulations limiting the speed of vehicles shall not be deemed to apply to the vehicles above named nor to those of the street railway companies called to make urgent repairs." ? Attorney Dnvall's Views. The attorney's comments on the matter are as follows: "You direct my attention to the pro visions of section 12 of the act of Congress approved July lKni, commonly known as the 'peace and order act,' suggesting that therein Congress appears to have leg islated upon the general pubject." The section referred to is the general pro vision against excessive speed. "I am of the opinion that these (munici pal) vehicles are not and were not intended to be within the purview of said act of Congress. By act of Congress approved June 2t>, 18S7, the Commissioners were au thorized-to make police regulations (arrtong other things) 'to regulate the movement of vehicles on the public streets and avenues for the preservation of order and the pro tection of life and limb.' "By its joint resolution approved Febru ary 20, 18SI2, CongTess authorized the Com missioners to make and enforce police regu lations necessary for the protection of 'lives, limb, health, comfort and quiet of all persons, and the protection of all prop erty within the District of Columbia." "Our Court of .Appeals, In Railroad Com pany agt. District of Columbia, sustained the police regulation requiring steam rail road trains to be stopped before crossing other railroads operated by steam, cable or electricity, and held that while railroad lo comotives and cars were not vehicles with in l..c meaning of the act of June 2i!, 1887. that the Commissioners nevertheless were authorized to make the regulation under the grant of powers contained in the Joint resolution, saying, among other things, 'that it was clear that Congress intended thereby to increase the powers of the Com missioners to the full extent of those fre quently, if not generally, intrusted to mu nicipal corporations.' A SnppoHeil Difficulty. "The difficulty suggested in your com munication, I take it, arises from the fact that the 'peace and order act' was enacted after the joint resolution, and that there fore Congress has apparently chosen to ex ercise Its undoubted right to legislate itself upon the subject. This supposed difficulty, however, in my judgment, is more apparent than real. Did Congress legislate upon the same subject matter? It is true the lun guage ?n said section Is general: 'That It shall not be lawful for any person or per sons to ride or drive any animal of the horse kind at a greater speed than eight miles per hour.' But was Congress legis lating upon the subject of the speed of mu nicipal vehicles and vehicles of the kind described in your proposed regulations? "It is a well settled and elementary rule of statutory construction that .a thing which is within the letter of the statute is not within the statute unless it be also within the meaning of the legislature.

Dyrenforth. the commander-in-chief of the order, made an address, telling of his re cent trip through the Btate of Illinois and the enthusiasm of the veterans of that state, who are forming regiments in al most every town. He spoke of the rapid increase of the order, particularly in the city of Chicago, in which it is expected ten regiments will be formed by the date of the national encampment, which will be held there the latter part of October. He also referred to the growth in Ohio and of the Invitations he had received to attend re unions of veterans in that state. He was followed by Capt. I*. L. Street, former commander-in-chief, who has Just returned from the Philippines, where he has served for two years as captain and commissary of subsistence, who said that even while he was far beyond the seas he had kept in touch with his comrades here, and he'rejoiced at the great growth of the order. He said that the idea of the old soldier being a back number was refuted by the fact that all the prominent leaders in the army, such as Otis, MacArthur, Lawton, ^Vheaton and a host of others were veterans of the war of the rebellion and how well they had performed their duty in the Spanish-American war the country knew. Addresses were also delivered by Gen. J. F. Meacham, division commander; Gen. A. M. Legg, pa?t division commander; Mr. E. W. Oyster, Capt. D. W. Beach and Capt. D. W. Glassie.
