A communication has been trans
mitted to the Executive by Com
missioner Halves asking that the
verdict of the military court in the
case of'V. V. Ashford be set aside.
The request is based on the opin-
ion that conviction resulted from
evidence of an accomplice. The
validity of the court is admitted
also that the trials were conducted
in an impartial manner. Friendly
sentiments were expressed by the
British government.
The request will be given due
consideration.
1t will be recalled that Ashford's
case was the only one tried by the
Military Commission in which any
contradiction in testimony was ap-
parent.

obstacles to a more or less perfect
mechanism have been overcome,
until the machine is today capa-
bic of producing a maximum result
at a minimum cost.
1t was found in the Paris-Bor-
deaux race that the pneumatic
tires were rather a hindrance than
an advantage to the vehicles
equipped with them. The two
seated carriage which made the
best run had its running gear seri-
ously damaged, although its motor
was in good condition. Thus far
little or nothing has been done in
France to apply electricity to these
vehicles, but it is expected that
there will be something done in
this line in a short time, now that
the petroleum engine has been
practically perfected and has pro-
badly reached the limit of it's per-
formance. The forthcoming road
race between carriages of this sort
from Milwaukee to Chicago will be
the first event of the kind in this
country, and will doubtless attract
such general attention that the era
of the horseless carriage in America
will be said to have begun.-Wash-

Friday at Plattsmouth, Neb., to two
years in the penitentiary for man
slaughter in killing Fletcher Robinson,
the prize fighter, last year.
A dispatch from Fort Wayne, Ind,
says that the remarkably low death rate
from diptheria at the Indiana Institute
for Predetermined Youths is attribute
able to the use OF anti-toxine. Up TO
this time, out of forty cases, there have
been only two deaths.
The Cabinet meeting Friday is said
to have been devoid of any definite re-
suits with reference TO Nicaragua and
Venezuelan matters. The impression is
given out that there is little danger that
Great Britain will resort to harsh meas
ures towards Nicaragua.
Robert Edwards, aged 2 years, was
fatally burned in Detroit Friday by
an explosion of gasoline, which mis-
grandmother mistook for water and
poured into a kettle on the kitchen
stove. Tic child's mother, Mrs.
Edwards, was terribly burned also.

under arrest woman giving the name
OF Miss Mary Delaney as being the in
cendiary who attempted, on Thursday,
to destroy two of the leading Roman
Catholic churches III that city by setting
fire to them with kerosene. 1t is be-
lieved that she is demented.
Secretary Herbert Friday paid the

which 100000 represented the 10th in
stalment on the battleship Iowa, and
$50, $50 the 18th on the armored cruiser
Brooklyn. These payments show that
the Brooklyn is now fully one-half COM
pleted, and that the Iowa is one-third

May EVADE THE INCOME TAX
Opinion of ex-Revenue COM
missioner Hart.
THU DIFFICULTY HE PRESENTS
Collectors Must Call Person.
ally on TaxableS.
This, Hs Holds, it VIII be Impossible for
the Collectors to Do-Suggests that rho
Collection be Suspended Until the Law
Can be Amended.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Thc Internal
Recenue Record of New York will, in its
issue of March Goth, publish an elab-
crate opinion by Thomas Hart, formerly
deputy commissioner Of internal reve-
nue., which throws doubt upon the prac-
teal collectibility of the income.
Tic commissioner holds that no
tpenalty is incurred by the failure to
present a return Of income until 9 formal
demand has been made at the residence
or place Of business after April 10th, by
the collector, and compliance with it
neglected or refused.
He holds, also, that the taxpayer has
the right, unless he voluntarily valves
1t, to insist that the collector and not the
deputy collector shall call and assist
him in making out his return. The tax
payer may disclose to the collector the,
particulars of his income, and then that
officer must himself make up the return
if requested to do so.
He concludes that the number of coll
lectors is too small to perform these
duties. The possible number of collec-
tors in the whole country is 1876 at the
utmost, and there are only about 60
now appointed. There is only one, fori
example, for the three States Of Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont.
The result might be that timid and
ignorant taxpayers would be the only
ones 10 make returns. The ex-com-
missioner holds that the injustice of .
taking advantage of them is clear. He
recommends that the collection of the
tax DO suspended until additional legis-
lation is procured at the next session of
Congress for its enforcement.

Plea That the Massachusetts Capital Is
Still the "Athens of America"
Harper's Weekly.

Plea That the Massachusetts Capital Is
still the "Athens of America"
Harper's Weekly.
1t is often said that Boston has ceased
to be the literary and art centre of the
country. 1t has, it is true, lost the
group of literary men and women
whose presence led the city to be called
the "Athens of America" When Oliver
Wendell Holmes died, few weeks ago,
the last Of the group departed, and,
Boston and the country now possess
only the memory and the living works
of those honored Americans whose
achievements mark an epoch in our lit
erary history.
In certain sense Boston hes indeed
ceased to be the literary and art ceatre
of the country. The reason for this is
patent. But in another, and perhaps
better sense, Boston remains a whole
some exemplar of the noble results of
popular education. Its Public Library
has just been placed in its new home.
This home is one of the beautiful orna-
ments of the finest city square in tho
country. In some respects there is no
feature of any city in the world finer
than this. Facing the beautiful library
building is Richardson's great monu-
ment-Trinity Church. On third side
of the square is the Art Museum. The
Public Library building has been said
to be tho most impressive structure of
its kind in the world. II is embellished
by the work of ST. Gaudens, and is to
be still further adorned by series of
paintings by Mr.. Abbey. These paint
| inGs have aroused the enthusiastic adj
mIration of the artists and critics of
London, where they have been .ex-
hibited. The kindred arts have lent
their aid to make this home of books
worthy of its purpose. The hundreds
of thousands of volumes are now on the
shelves, all of them accessible to the
citizens of Boston. With the exception
of some special libraries that must be
consulted at the library, these books
may be taken out by the people and
read at their homes. 1t is free library
in the best and fullest sense.
