This Afternoon.

An Interesting Case in the Police Court
This Afternoon.
There was an amusing scene witnessed In the
Police Court today when Officer W. T. Ander-
son Of Anacostia appeared on the stand in a
liquor case and produced bottle of beer in
evidence. The beer was in an ordinary
soda bottle, used as q blind for that purpose and
when he pressed in the rubber stopper the
beer spurted from the bottle and gave the officer
christening. Then the question as to what
the fluid was had to be settled and several of
the jurors who tasted 1t declared that it was
beer.
John Simms, colored man, was on trial. and
Lawyer Moss was defending him. The charge
was that Simms sold the beer at the Allen
Chapel campmeetingi In Hillsdale several Sundays
ago. The officers got the beer in the tent, and
they also had witness who swore that he pur-
chased some Of the beer.
That witness was Joseph Simms He went in
the tent and the defendant, he said, asked him
what be wanted, telling him not to be afraid 70
call It out; that there were nobody but men
around there at the time. He bought six
bottles.

The steamship companies are paving a heavy

PROCLAIMED HIMSELF DC TAToR.
The President of the Republic of Costa
Rica.

The President OF the Republic of Costa
Rica.
Startling news from, the Republic Of Costa
Rica. Central America, comes to the State De-
partmeut today.
A cablegram was received by the Secretary Of
State this morning from San Jose, the capital
OF Costa Rica, stating that President Rodriguez
has declared himself dictator; that several polit-
ical arrests have been made and great excite
ment prevails.
The news is deemed important from the fact
that a revolution usually follows the assertion
of a dictatorship and commercial interests
suffer.
INTEREST IN THAT GOVERNMENT.
The United States is particularly interested
in Costa Rica. The Nicaraguan canal will have
its eastern terminus at the port of San Juan del
Norte and the Costa Rican government has
granted the Nicaraguan Canal Company many
valuable concessions
The United States also has important COM
mercial relations with Costa Rica The ex ports
from the United States to Costa Rica in 1890
amounted to g, ,255 1873. leading all the ma tions
of the world in commerce.
Communication with the republic is es tab
lished by steamships between New York and
New Orleans to the port of Limon on the At
lantic side and from San Francisco to Punta
Arenas on the Pacific.
UNITED STATES CITIZENS THERE.
There about 300 citizens of the United
States In Costa Rica. One citizen of thiscountry,
Mr.. Reynolds of New York, has a concession Of
66,0OO acres of land Several Americans have
concessions for the building of railroads.
The city of San Jose, the capital, has a popu-
lation of "a 600. 1t is progressive town, fash
Toned after cities in this country, and boasts
many modern Improvements.
President Rodriguez was inaugurated in
ls90 for term OF four years and was consid-
cred capable executive.
WRITTEN CONSTITUTION
The powers Of the government are defined by
written constitution. Universal suffrage is
the law of the country. The government is ad-
ministered by the three powers called execu-
tive. legislative and judicial. The legislative
power Is vested in a congress, consisting of
only one house, called the constitutional con-
gress." The members are elected for four
years.
1t is considered probable that a war ship NAV
be sent to Costa Rica to protect American in
terests.
The Secretary Of State is awaiting further
details of the trouble prevailing there before
making the recommendation to Secretary
Tracy.
If it is necessary to send q ship the Philadel-
phia will probably go. She is prepared for
such service and can go on q few hours no.
tice.

THE COLLECTORS REPORT,
Taxes Collected During the Last Fiscal
Year-Legislation Needed.

Taxes Collected During the Last Fiscal
Year-Legislation Needed.
The annual report Of the collector Of taxes
was submitted to the Commissioners this after
noon.
During the year there was collected from all
sources S3,025.079.76.
This was divided as follows: Realty tax,
81 13s. .463.4 40 personal tax, a173 76l.45; penal
ties, S64 ,582. 90; miscellaneous including liquor
license and other fees, S34s, ,5s5 As; water fund.
S299, 706.53. The amo unit of taxes uncollected
amounts to S753 3,55923.
MORE FORCE NEEDED.
Concluding his report Mr.. Davis calls atten-
ton to the urgent sity for certain additions
to the working force of his Office. Each year,
he says, increases the urgency for
better facilities owing to the increase
of business, and new legislation is
necessary to remedy the defective tax laws.
The present force Of his office. he saws.
is totally inadequate to the prompt and
efficient transaction Of business and during
the past busy season Of July and August the
work ran behind several days. much to the
inconvenience and annoyance Of the public.
He recommends that a deputy collector at
81, 900, an assistant cashier at S1600 and a
bank mes senger at 81 200 per annum be added
to the pres ent force of his office.
LEGISLATION NE EDED.
In all former reports he says, great stress is
laid upon the importance of obtaining from
Congress legislation whereby the defects in
the laws relating to taxation might be
cured. In alluding to these measures he
says they have lost none of their
Importance by the delay of Congress to act but
on the contr ary the necessity Of some action in
this gard becomes more apparent every day.
He says. further, it is useless to annually
rereat the many reasons for this legis-
lGtion, the fact is patent that the
revenues of the District are seriously curtailed
by the neglect Of Congress to give a new tax
law and authority to reassess property. while
for various reasons, the courts have enjoined
the collection of the tax by the
District. These measures affecting as they do
the revenues of the District are Of paramount
importance, and for that reason he urges them
to the exclusion Of other less important mat
ters The success attending the efforts Of his
Office for the collection Of overdue personal tax
justi6es him, he says, in asking a renewal of the
appropriation for this purpose.

The Venezuelan Difficulty.

Secretary of State Foster stated today that
the dispatch Of naval vessels to Venezuela was
not in any way influenced by the boundary
ques ton between Venezuela and Great Britain,
nor was it known at the State Department that
that question had recently assumed any new
phase. There are important American COM
mercial and other interests at various Vene-
zuelan ports which. in the present state of
anarchy prevailing in that country. it was not
possible to protect with single man-of- war,
and it was thought desirable that force sufi-
cient for that purpose should be sent. The
presence OF naval vessels in those waters is not
intended as q menace to any nation.
