BONDS FOR CADET ARMS.
Comptroller Renders a Decision Al.
fecttnp the High School Corps.


fecttng the High School Corps.
Hon. r. b. Bowler, Comptroller OF the
Treasury, has just rendered a decision ad-
Verse to the proposition tnat the expense
ofprocuring guaranty company to become
a surety on the bond required to be nled
with the Secretary of War when arms
or other ordnance stores are supplied for
the use of the High School Cadets, shall
be paid from the contingent fund of the
public schools.
The requirements OF a bond, - the Comp
troller say US, lis some what peculiar one,
II ii was intended that the ordnance stores
should be issued foruse by the High school
for school purposes.
1T is to be noticed he adds, that the
joint resolution" (of February 8, 1s9O)
docs not require that the stores shall BE-
Issued to the principal OF the school, or, III
fact, to any public officer "f the District.
1t is hardly to be presumed that Congress
would have required bond for these
ordnance stores, if 1t was intended that
the expense OF procuring such Il bond
should be Il charge aCsinst the appropria-
tions for the expenses of the public schools
OF the District.
THE case is some what similar to the re-
quirement that a disbursing officer shall
give bond before having moneys placed in
his hatds for disbursement. In such case
the expense of giving the bond is not
chargeablc to the government
The inquiry was based upon n proposed
ira anSaction in behalf OF the High school
for supplies OF equipments amounting 10
ahout - 900. IL has been the custom
to give personal security, heretofore, but
the pcnaiey OF the bond has increased of
late years. owing to the large amount Of
stores required. and it has been deemed
aQylSn bic to make a change.

GAS TURNED ON.
Annie Engel Found Dead In Bed
Yesterday Morning.

Annie Engel, twenty-five years old.
servant employed in the family OF Mrs.
Louisa kloman, No. 90S NJ street. was
found dead in her bedroom yesterday
morning.
The apartment was filled with gas and
burner Was turned on. The body was
quite sold when discovered and the young
woman had doubtless been dead sometime.
Drs. Howard and Duffy were hastily sum
moned, but one glance at the body showed
them that the young woman was beyond
their aid.
Miss Engle had been employed by Mrs.
Kloman for the last seven or eight months
and was well liked by the family. She
came of 4 good German family and was
educated far beyond her position. a few
days ago she took a civil service cxamina-
ton and was expecting to obtain shortly
q position in the government service.
Although the young W oman had been de-
Spondent for sometime pa st her friends can
give no facts which would support theory
OF suicide and her death was evidently
accident al. Coroner Hammett was no.
tilted OF the case yesterday morning and
gave 4 certificate of accidental death.

MAY FILL DR.. GOODIES PLACE
Chief Clerk Cox of the Museum for
Assistant Secretary.
Prof. Langley Said to Have De-
cided Upon Recommending Him
for the Appointment.

A report is in circulation about the
Smithsonian Institut on and National Mu-
scum that Mr W V. Cox, now chief clerk
of the National Museum, is TO reccivce The
place OF assistant secretary OF the insti-
tuition, made vacant by the death OF DR..
G. Browne q oodc.
The Board OF Regents, which meets i'll
annual session on the third Wednesday in
January, is the body which will have The
appointment of DR. Goodies successor, and
any recommended on made to the boa rd by
Secretary Langley is certain to meet with
favorable action.
Since the death of the assistant secre-
tary, which occurred September 6, the po-
sition has been practically vacant. but any
duties necessarily involved in the office have
been performed by Prof. F. W. True, ey-
ecutive curator OF the museum.
Not a little effort has been made 10y the
friends of the various asprants for the po-
sition OF late, and Prof. Langley is ,,nder-
stood to have upon his eligible list num-
Der of names, and has received urgent rc-
quests to recommend each one, as his ap-
proval Is taken as equivalent to an ap-
pointment.
Mr.. Cox has not been one whose name
has been prominently mentioned, and for
that reason many OF the officials OF the
Smithsonian are inclined TO GiScredit the
iepOIt. II is stated, however, tflat PrOf.
Langley has decided upon the recommend
alton. Mr.. Cox has for a number of years
occupied his present position, and there
seems TO be no reason why he is not as
eminently qualified to act as assistant SIC
retary OF the Smithsonian in charge of the
National Museum, which is the title of the
office.
Whe nseen yesterday Mr Cox did rot
deny that he might be a candidate for
the place, although he admitted that there
were number of other aspirants in the
field. He said he was not aware that he
had been selected
Prof. Langley would not commit him.
self upon the question, and declined to
say whom, If any one, he had chosen to
fill DR.. Goodies place. Heretofore a con-
siderable interval has ella psed between
the time the office was vacated and the
appointment of SUCCESSOR DR.. Goode
was not appointed until something like
five years after his predecessor died,
though there is no written or UNIV: :itten
law OH this point.
Mr.. Cox was elected vice president of
the Sons of the Revolution in place of DR..
Goode, and it is also possible that he NAV
be asked to fill his more important position
in connection with the Smithsonian.

X-RAYS FOR EMERGENCY.
One of the Matters Discussed by
Directors Yesterday,

The regular monthly meeting of the
medical board of the Emergency Hospital
was held at the institution yesterday after
noon, but owing to the absence of several
members nothing but routine business was
transacted.
DR.. Kerr, who is executive officer of the
hospital for the month of December. was
unable to be present. A plan has been
devised to make an inquiry into the circum-
stances of each individual applicant for
treatment and medicine at the Gispensary
department This will neccssitate a vast
amount of work. but 1t is deemed neces-
sary, owing 10 the alleged large number
or iTnpostors, who come to the institution,
but are In condition to pay for services of
q physician.
There has been considerable talk of So.
curing an X-ray apparatus for the hos
pital as is used In man of the metropolitan
institutions but nothing definite has been
decided upon. Physicians state that such
an apparatus would be of vast benefit in
the treatment of many cases which con.
unually come up. The cost, however, is
said to be great.

ALCOHOL COMMITTEE.
1t Returns From It's Hearings in

The members Of the joint Congressional
committee, appointed to investigate and
report upon the matter of internal revenue
regulations with view to permitting the
use of free alcohol in the arts. manufac.
lures and composition of medical COM
pounds, returned yesterday from New
York.
While in that city they heard the state
ments of interested parties, which occu-
pied all their time, So that they returned
without having reached any conclusion.
BY the terms of the resolution under
which they were acting the limit within
which their report was TO be made to
Congress expires on Monday next. If
the inquiry is to result in anything definite
or valuable further time must be gNlnted
the commission to conclude its work, and
that will doubtless be asked for and grant
ed early next week.
1t is understood that ma jority Of the
commission are opposed to any concessions
in the desired direction being made. hold
ing that the risk of loss of revenue to the
government, despite the precautions that
may be taken, is too great to be incurred
for the benefits to be derived by the public
from the change.
