THE HAZING INVESTIGATION.
Carpenter Rose the Chief Witness He
fore the Court Today.

The morning session of the thirteenth
days proceedings before the court of inquiry
in the recent alleged hazing cases at the
navy yard was occupied with hearing the
evidence of Mr.. NJ. d. Rose. a carpenter en-
ployed in the yard. who was on the stand for
nearly an hour and half. III reply to Gues-
tions from Judge Advocate Terhune. vast
amount of Information in detail was brought
out referring to the dissatisfaction which
exists in the gunners' class on account of the
presence in 1t of colored men. Mr.. Rose also
said that he had heard Murphy, one of the
alleged hazers, declare to the master-at-
arms that he would not classify, recite, or
graduate with the coiored men, that he
would purchase the remainder of his enlist
ment in preference to doing SO. Murphy s
principal objection to the colored men, as he
understood 1t, was that the members of the
present gunners' class are I'm danger If they
shall go to sea or to another station TO re-
ceive, in his Judgment. the appellation of
member of the checkerboard class from
their new associates
Mr.. Rose also gave the name of an em-
ploye in the yard who told him that the boys
said they had not intended to cut the color
in the darkness a mistake had been made.
One result of the judge advocates ques-
tioning will probably be that a number of

REGISTER OF COPYRIGHTS.
Already Number Are Spoken of for
the Expected Position.


Although scarcely twenty-four hours
have passed since Mr.. Morrill, introduced
bill in the Senate providing for a register
of copyrights at salary of $1,000 per an
mum, the names Of several gentlemen are
being prominently spoken Of as possible ap-
pointees to the place There is a prevalent
feeling that the joint committee on the
library will seek to have the bill for the ap-
pointment Of register of copyrights be-
come a law as soon as possible although
there may be considerable delay before
they can succeed in their purpose. The fact
that the removal of the library to its home
is not now far distant, and the absolute
placed under an officer who will give it his
sole attention, and the need of doing this
before the removal of the library to its new
home, combine to emphasize the need OF
immediate action.
1t is thought that the register of copy
rights will be appointed without regard 10
political influence, as the office will require
a man acquainted with the work of copy
rights. Among the employees of the Con-
gressional Library most prominently
spoken Of for the place is Mr.. Paul Neu-
haus, for twenty years an employe of the
library. and who is regarded as fully in
formed on the needs Of the copyright work.
Mr.. Arthur Chrisfield, for about ten years
toned as a possible appointee, as is Mr..
H. c. Chase. Mr. Chase has been con-
nected with the library for about two
years. but although newcomer IN that
work he is looked upon as thoroughly effi-
cient

THE INCOME TAX.
An Amendment to the Constitution
Offered to support II.

Representative U. S. Hall (Mo.), who was
one of the most active advocates of the
income tax feature of the Wilson tariff
bill, is determined not to abandon the fight
for an income tax law until one Is on the
statute books that will not fall before a
decision Of the Supreme Court. Mr. Hall
introduced in the House yesterday what is
to be known the sixteenth amendment
to the Constitution. 1t provides that all
taxes as we'll duties, mposts and ex-
cises, shall be uniform throughout the
United States; provided, that all capitation
taxes, shall, and any other taxes may be-
apportioned among the several states &C
cording to their respective numbers, count
ing the whole number of persons in each
state, excluding Indians not taxed.
Such an amendment, it is claimed, would
remove from clause of section and clause
1 Of section Of article l of the Constitu-
ton the Inhibition against the imposition
of direct taxes unless levied according
to the population in the tive states
the Supreme Court having held that the
income tax was direct tax.

the exception of replanting a few trees and
shrubs, they have been practically restored
to the condition existing in the early spring

structed through them. Improvements and
additions have been made to the greenhouses

tropical. subtropical and bedding plants
We're propagated for next season. Watch
boxes similar to those near the Presidents $

TURKEY TAXING AMERICANS.
How the Sultan Makes Reprisnls ON
Our Citizens.

How the Sultan Makes Rcprisals on
Our Citizens.
The committee of Armenian citizens
which is in Washington in behalf of their
countrymen has presented to Mr.. Hit and
other members conspicuous In foreign af-
fairs statements regarding the treatment
OF Armerians who are naturalized Ameri-
can citizens, which put very serious as
pect upon the relati. ms of the United States
With Turkey, and may Inspire deciara-
ton by Congress.
1t is represented by the committee that
the Turkish government refuses absolutely
to permit naturalized Armenians to return
to their old homes and also prevents them
from bringing other members Of their FAM
ilies out Of the Turkish dominions to this
country.
Beyond this the Armenians declare that
the Turkish government compels all nat
uralized Armenians doing business in this
country to remit taxes on their business
and income taxes to the sultans officers.
These taxes are levied arbitrarily, and
tleir collection is enforced by unique
methods.
One Armenian doing business in Massa-
chusetts, it is said, was recently compelled
to remit an income tax of $500. He refused
to pay the tax, whereupon his brother IN
the sultan's dominion was imprisoned and
was kept in prison until the money was
Forthcoming.
The Massachusetts delegation has urged
Congress to take extreme measures against
Turkey, but has received no assurance that
any steps would be taken more radical than
the passage of a resolution calling upon the
President to employ every means recog
nized by International law for the protec-
ton Of American citizens and the preven-
ton of all outrages upon Armenians.
Today Representative Walker of Wor
cester introduced a resolution in the House
calling upon the President to use every
means in his poWer to protect all American
citizens in Turkey, and to leave undone
nothing permissible under the usages of
information law to check and discourage
the cor rtinuation of outrages upon Ar
mcnians under Turkish jurisdiction.
The delegation is headed by Messrs.
Naleigian and Rustigian Of Worcester AMI
&c gigian of Boston. They have called on
the Secretary of State and many Senators
and members of Congress. Most of the
Armenians in this country live in ard near
Worcester, Mass.

LEGAL RED TAPE.

Commander Qunckenbush Was Dis
missed by Error, hut 1t Must stand.
Judge Bradley today dismissed the pc
tition for a writ of mandamus filed May
u by John N. Quackenbush against Sec
retary Herbert
The ground taken was that in the case of
Blake, 1G3, L. s., it was determined that
the President, by consent of the Senate, can
dismiss anyone in the naval service by the
appointment of any other man to his place.
The facts in the case are that Quacken-
bush, commander in the navy, was court
martialed in February, 1874. and sentenced
to dismissal. The sentence was mitigated
to suspension from rank and duty on fur
Tough pay for six years. The President
nominated to the Senate June 10, 1874, W.
s. Schley to be commander, vice Quacken-
bush, dismissed" and the nomination was
confirmed. Quackenbush served out his
sentence and June o. 1880. reported for
duty, was placed on waiting orders and his
name was continued on the naval register
until August ], 1888, when, by decision of
the Secretary of Navy, it was dropped, with
the words, 'his action being based upon q
decision of the Supreme Court.
Quackenbush claimed that through the
tlunder of clerk he was enormously
recorded as dismissed, ard declared that he
has never been dismissed by lawful au-
thority. Having reached the age limit. he
would be entitled to be placed on the re>
tired list the moment his name should be
ordered to be restored
The attorneys for Quackenbush are
Messrs VIM. F. Mattingly and Richard r.
Beall.
In dsmissing the petition, Judge Bradley
remarked that in his opinion President
Grant never had intended to dismiss from
the service and the case was one Of hard
ship. There appeared to be no legal rem
edy, however. the only possible relief being
by act of Congress. which should have been
granted long ago.
An appeal will be made to the Court OF
Appeals, and the case is likely to go to tha
United States Supreme Court.
