MR.. HAZELTON DECLINED TO SIGN.
The Charges Against Police Officers
Again In Col. Roberts Hands.

Mr.. Hazeiton, attorney for the District sent
letter to Commissioner Robert yesterday in
which he declined to sign the charges against
certain police officers submitted to him and
which Col Robert desired him to sign in case
Maj. Moore declined to do so.
Mr.. Hazelton says that the regulations would
require him TO swear to the charges il he
signed them which he cannot do. as he has no
personal knowledge of the statements made
He suggests that the charges can be signed by
a Commissioner without taking oath 10 them.
He adds: But in questions Of this kind il
seems TO me that the sanction of at least a
majority of the board of Commissioners should
be given 10 the institution of such proceedings
when they emanate from any one Of its MEM
bers, as they are grave and important and
must in the end to be of any effect. fall under
the action and jurisdiction of at least major
ity of the board.
II do not presume at this time to pass either
upon the form or the merits OF the charges sub
mitted for my signature, as that would be gong
beyond the scope Of your verbal request and
in declining to sign the charges / do so very
respectfully, as YOU yourself see that the law
furnishes good and sufficient reason for so
doing. / withhold the papers subject to your
further order"
This morning an assistant from the attorney
called on Commissioner Robert and handed
him all the papers in the case. Ii is under
stood that the Commissioners will decide at
their meeting this afternoon what they are
goipg to do

THE ENGINEERS ASSISTANTS.
The Civilian Commissioners Want 20

Yesterday afternoon when the board Of Dis

asmuch as the Law does not assign special
duties to the Engineer Commissioner. except
ing as TO the water department. which
Is also under the control OF the board OF Com
missioners. and the dutios which are assigned
to the two officers OF the engineer eorps de-
tailed TO assist him involve the expenditure OF
nearly all the funds about which a dispute cen
pronaoiy arise rs 90 the validity of the En-
penditnre, II seems but right that said assist
ants should he assigned as assistant. 20 the
commissioners. instead of 20 one Commissioner
only. The majority OF Commissioners have nov
no right 20 call upon said assistants even FOR in
formation, and can give them no directions con
corning District work. The Inconvenience Of
this condition Is frequently very great ia .h-
surdity Is evident IN the light of the fact thA,
the Commissioners appointed from civil life
alone give bonds for the legal expenditure Of
all appropriations for District purposes"
The matter will be discussed at the board
session tins afternoon. and n Recommendation

This afternoon Col Robert called on the
chief engineer OF the army and discussed the
matter at length.

THE MARKET RESERVATION.
Mr.. Baker Protests Against Granting
Privileges to the Company.


The Commissioners today received letter
from Mr.. John A. Baker in which he called
attention to the plan recently submitted by the
Washington Market Company to re-establsh,
rs he claims, possession Of part of the market
reservation fronting the market building, be-
tween It'll and 9th streets free Of rent He
says the privilege OF erecting and maintain
ing market was conferred by Congress for
the consideration of S25, 900 per year, the rent
to be used for the support and benefit of the
poor Of the District He says that after ac-
cepting its charter the Market Company pro-
feased to have discovered that the reservation
was too large for its needs and undertook to
effect reduction of the rent from $25, 600
year to $500 year, and by an agreement
with the then officials OF the District
he says this bargain was consummated and
through it the District deprived OF an annual
income Of Sl7.5O0. Further, he says that
while the company holds illegally that vau-
able property at an Insignificant rent it also
holds, as he claims, by the boldess usurpation
and without authority OF Law reserya-
ton bounded by b. 10th and 18th
streets. known AZ the Wholesale market, without
paying for its use any rent whatever. He says
further, that when the act of Congress was
passed transferring the wholesale market to B
street that street Was partly occupied by the
old canal and was in no sense thoroughfare;
but the old canal has boon filled up and the
street has been paved and severed until now it

one OF the most important thoroughfares.
To clear that street, he continues, the whole
sale market square should be taken from the
illegal control OF the Washington Market Com
pany. Inciosed with his letter 10 copy of part
OF a brief giving in detail the history Il legis-
lation and the acts OF the Washington Market

could not draw his money, and gave her also
an affidavit stating that be had s75 in bank.
This was shown to be false, his balance being
twenty-five cents on an account opened Feb
ruary 81.
Ward took the stand and testified that he
had lived here since 1865; that he became ac-
quainted with Mrs. Burton in February last:
that she suggested that he marry her to hide
her shame, and that the money business was
proposed by her to enable him to geta divorce

He acknowledged that he had made an affi-
davit OF having SIS in bank and it was lie.
