THAT IS ALL ROT.
Recorder of Deeds TavIor's Comment Upon
the Report That He Intends to Ten
der His Resignation.

the Report That He Intends to Ten
der His Resignation.
Recorder Of Deeds Taylor has recovered
sufficiently from few days indisposition to
be at his office regularly again. TIMES
representative yesterday had brief interview
with him regarding the gossip concerning his
resignation.
81 notice you have been Ill some time, . said
the newspaper man.
.'Yes, yes" replied the recorder, little
nervously. "I had to read the newspapers to
find that out, though. l didn't know it,
''There is a story. too, that you are con-
templating resignation"
''Oh. that is all rot" was the reply, "all
rot. There is not a word of truth in it. It's
all newspaper talk. You can't believe word
you find IN them. Not a bit of reliance to be
placed on anything they say. No, no: had
to fight too hard to get that place to give it
up so quick.
To others Mr. Taylor has denied absolutely
any intention to resign. or any intimation
from the President that his resignation would
be accepted. He attributes his troubles in
part TO disappointed office-seekers, and shows
letter from q colored teacher. J. W. Coles, of
No. 1926 Delaware avenue southwest, who
begs to be given anything in reach. Coles
says he did not get a school this fail because
he relied on Taylor's holp to get him q good
government place. He suggests that the
seeds division in the Agricultural Department
will soon need much additional help, and the
recorder could get hiu something there till a
better place can be- secured. He closes by
saying. 1T is useless for me to write more. as
you know my circumstances and what
want
1t is said that a petition is being circulated
among the lawyers and real estate men who
have business in the recorders office, asking
for his removal
But Mr.. TayIor's official troubles are not
alone in producing the nervous condition ex-
hibited in his interview. Charles Baum, the
furniture dealer, of No. 314 Ninth street
northwest. is after him to collect balance of
s12.t0. Mr.. Baum sold Mr.. Taylor S25 worth
of furniture in July last, and expected the
balance of S12.50 to be paid in short time.
He waited. then sent several duns. and finally
received a reply promising to settle on No
yember l.
When that day came Mr.. Baum sent to Mr.
Taylor's former address, No. 1928 street,
but was unable to find him there or else
where. He thereupon instructed his attor-
ney, John j. Dolan to bring suit upon the
bill. Mr.. Dolan took the necessary steps to
recover before Magistrate O'Neill yesterday,
and the case was set for q hearing to-mor-
row.

NO AWNINGS ON THEIR CARS.
Metropolitan Railway Refuses TO Protect
Its Drivers from Bad Weather

Its Drivers from Bad Weather
With the approach of winter drivers on the
various lines of the Metropolitan street rail-
way are anxiously inquiring whether their
cars are to be fitted with the awnings which,
during other winters, have protected them
from rain and sIeet and snow.
Some of them recently went so far as to d.
rect an inquiry of this sort TO President Phil
lips. As one of them expressed it last night.
they made no fuss about it, but simply asked
whether the awnings would be placed on the
cars again. They received the rather chilly
response that they would not be. Since then
the men have done a good deal of complain
ing among themselves, though no concerted
effort has been made 10 present the matter
more strongly to President Phillips. His
original reply is taken by most of the drivers
to be conclusive and final, and they have
about settled down to the opinion that further
complaint is useless.
No reason has been assigned for refusing
to fit the cars with awnings and the men
know of none. A number of new cars have
lately been placed on the and G street lines,
for which no equipment of awnings has been
provided, hut neither have awnings been
placed on the old cars formerly equipped with
them.
'We'n miss those awnings in the cold
weather." said driver last night
with the snow and sleet pouring in on
the front platform we can hardly keep a foot
hold without them. The awning always kept
q space clear where we could stand firmly
Conductors do not need protection by avn
ings as much as drivers. because they spend
about half their time inside the cars, and
then when awnings are put on the rear plat
form people get under the awning and stay
on the outside, instead of going in, thus
weighing down the back end of the car and
making harder work for the driver We are
not SO much in favor of awnings for con-
ductors, but we would like to have them on
the front of the car, where they are needed" "

Dr. Shade has been actively engaged in the

entirely to diseases of the throat and chest.
The majority of lung and throat diseases are
complicated with stomach, heart, kidney or
