SUSPENDED ACCOUNTS.
Decisions of Treasury Controllers Can
Only Be Overruled by Congress.

1t is understood that Second Contro ller Gil
kerson has refused to reopen the cases of Pay
master Smith, Surgeon Billings and other Of
fcers of the army, whose accounts were sus-
pended some years ago. The War depart
ment immediately after Controller Maynard
disallowed the accounts, declined to withhold
the amounts involved from future payments to
the officers until it had tested the legality Of
the controllers action. Accordingly q
case was presented to the Court Of Claims,
which body, last February, rendered a decision
or rather made findings of fact for the guidance
OF the Secretary of War, upholding the original
payments. The papers in the case were re-
Gently referred to Controller Gilkerson, accom-
panying the report of the Court Of Claims. In
his decision he refuses TO recognize this report
as evidence, claiming that 1t being merely ''for
the guidance Of the Secretary of War;" it is not
before him.
Controller Maynard. in his brief on the same
cases. asserted that there is no power in the
executive departments Of the government to
override any decision by the Treasury control
lers, thus declaring an independence that could
be reached only by act of Congress
Secretary Proctor has not decided upon a
course Of action in the case

at Christmas time. About hundred and fifty
Representatives have gone home to eat their

members were on the floor of the House during
the day and few were going about to make
acquaintance with their new committee rooms.

DELINQUENT TAX SALES.
The Collector Wants the Date Changed
From September to January.

Recently the collector Of taxes in letter to
the Commissioners called their attention to the
urgent need of obtaining from Congress an
amendment to the present law by which the
date for the sale of property for taxes in arrears
may be 80 changed that sufficient time may be
allowed for the work of preparation for the
sale. Under the existing law it is the duty of
the collector to prepare list Of all property
delinquent by the first Tuesday in September
of each year and ell the same, beginning on the
last Tuesday of the same month. An amendment
to this law, approved in October, 1888, postponed
the sale, which should have taken place in Sep
tcmber, 1888, until January, 1889, but made the
sales thereafter conform with the original law,
namely, September of each year. This requires
the important work of listing, publication and
sale to be done during the busiest season Of the
year and at q time when the force of the COL
lector's Office is taxed to its utmost capacity.
To properly prepare the list and prepare for
publication the arrears of taxes requires time,
and while it was possible when this law was
enacted Gas water rents were collected in jan
uary of each Year, to comply with these re-
qurements, the collector SAYS it cannot
be done now with that care that its i'm
portance demands; hence he urges upon
the Commissioners the necessity of
changing the date of sale to a season OF the
year when it will not conflict with his other
dutles ana TINS he suggests would be during
the month of March. He says if the date of
the sales is so changed ample time could be
obtained during the months of January and
February to list and publish the delinquent
taxes with proper revision AZ, they should be.
He says that many inaccuracies occur in the
publication of these that careful revision
would discover and correct, and when it is
taken into consideration that an erroneous
description of property offered invalidates the
sale of the same too much care cannot be taken
to make the list as perfect as possible. He
says the law should be changed to guard the
interests of purchasers as we'll as to insure the
District against loss, and this can only be done
by assigning the work to that season of the
year when it is less liable to conflict with other
duties.
The Commissioners will discuss the matter
in board session and probably ask Congress to
change the law as requested

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 23.-Col I. M. R. Tai
colt, first vice president of the Richmond and
Danville systems, resigned last week. Although
the news was only given ont today his friends
are very much surprised. He had supervision
and direction of all traffic matter of the DAN
vile system, but under the new arrange
ment Traffic Manager Haas will have
entire control of traffic. Mr.. Oakman
of New York has been elected
first vice president but will not have anything
to do with the operating department, and the
vice presidents Office in this city will be closed.
This change creates great dissatisfaction with
the business community. Haas, who returned
today from New York, states positively that the
offices of the Richmond and Danville system
will not be removed to Atlanta. He says the
Washington Office will remain as it is and that
Peyton Randolph will remain in Washington as
general manager and W. H. Green as general
superintendent

COULD NOT RIDE WITH WHITES.
The Experience Of a Colored Minister
From this City on a Georgia Railroad.

Rev. DR.. I'll. Phillips, pastor of Israel Metro
tropolitan CINE. church, has just returned
from the south, where he visited Atlanta,
Macon, Jackson, Milledgeville and Augusta,
Ga. also Columbia, SC, and Charlotte, NC.
DIR. Phillips had an experience on Georgia
railroad train, which he related 10 STAR re-
porter as follows: When in Macon he purchased
a first-class ticket from Macon to Atlanta over
the Tennessee, Virgiania and Georgia rail-
road. When about fifteen miles from
Atlanta he noticed several white men
in close conversation with the conductor,
and suddenly the latter absented himself
Then six or seven rough men gathered around
DIR. Phillips and told him that he must vacate
that couch at once or else he would be elected.
Dr. Phillips, remembering that that was the
same road upon which Rev. Mr.. Love and other
colored men we're badly beaten. at once went
into the smoking car" making no attempt he
says, to resist the inevitable. One Of the men
took his valise. carried it into the smoker"
pointed him outa seat and said: .You northern

A Charge of False Pretensos.


In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing-
ham, today William II. vanderlip, arrested in
Syracuse, NY, some weeks ago was placed on
trial for obtaining rifle and accoutrements on
March last by false pretenses. The defendant
is resident Of Syracuse, and in March
last was employed as special police
man. 1t is charged that the Union
Veteran Corps invited on the 4th
of March to the residence of p. T. Dodge; that
there was some disorder in the house and an
offending member of the corps was deprived of
his rifle &C., and was sent home 1t is alleged
further that the defendant went to the house
next day, and, stating that Maj. Harrison had
sent for the gun, &C., Mrs. Dodge let him
have them, and the articles were found in pawn
shop. Mr.. T. G. Taylor appeared for the de-
PENDANT, and claimed that the defendant was
called in the house and there saw the gun &C.,
but did not know what organization it was, and
afterward going to the headquarters of the
inaugural committee and stating that
the rifle was on Capitol Hill and his
belief that it was left by Penn
sylvania organization he was requested to
get it and he did so, depositing it in the rooms
Of the committee.
Mai Harrison testified to the facts, and that
when he disarmed the man he requested Mrs.
Dodge and the special officer to look after the
gun. &C., till he sent for the articles
The defendant admitted getting the gun and
said he gave it to Mr.. Van Doren; that after it
had remained at the commission rooms several
months and being hard up he pawned it,
The government stated that if Mr.. Van
Doren would corroborate this statement they
vould not ask q conviction,

BECK ON ALLISON.
He Says Iowa Will Make a Mistake
If She Sends a New Man TO the Senate.

II the democratic side of the United States
Senate had anything to say abe 1t the re-
election of Senator Allison the question
would not long remain in doubt Sem
ator Beck of Kentucky was talking
over the Iowa situation with STAR reporter
today and he was surprisingly vigorous in his
advocacy of Mr.. Allison's case.
''The state of Iowa" ssAl he, would never be
so foolish as to put any man in Allison's
place save Allison himself If it did it would
disgrace itself. At present Iowa is the most
prominent state in the Senate, for
Allison is not only chairman of the
committee on appropriations, but he
is the second member of the committee on
finance. If they send a new man here he will
have to go down to the lower end of. it
may be and probably would be, some
of the minor committees. William Ii.
Allison is a statesman and if the Iowa legisla-
ture has not completely lost its senses it will
send him back TO the Senate as often as he can
be persuaded to come"

WHAT THE FURLoUGV I'd SEWER MEN WANT.
The sewer division during the year EMPLOYS
a number of assistants. These men are placed
on the temporary roll; that is, they receive
their pay only during the busy season, for
when the work of construction of sewers is
over they are furloughed. Recently Commits
sioner Hine received letter from one of these
men in which he asked for justice. He says
that they are to be furloughed on account of
the inadequacy of the appropriation. This, he
says, is made SO by the employment of several
clerks who do not belong to the sewer division,
but who are paid out of its appropriation. He
suggests that these clerks be removed and their
salaries distributed among the sewer men who
are to be furloughed.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Commissioners have received many con-
gratulations on their confirmation. Most of
