Hard-Earned SUN Saved from Wages

at the Census Office Stolen.
Miss Eddie R. May came to Washington
from Georgia several months ago and
through her Congressman secured enIpIuy-
ment in the Census Office.
She was Included in the wholesale dis
missal from that bureau which took place
not long ago. Miss May went to live at
the Young Womans Christian Home, No.
31l { street north west. She told Matron
Squires that she had 500 which she had
saved from her salary and wanted TO stay
at the home rs long her money lasted and
study to become q teacher.
Miss May placed her money under the pill
low each night and kept 1t in her pocket dur
ing the day time. She took very good
care Of 1T and made her expenses as small
as possible. 1t was all she had in the world
and ii meant great deal to her. Wednes-
nay night she retired as usual and placed the

LIBERTY MARKET CLAIMS
Hearing Given by the District Sub
committee of the House.
New Evidence Adduced in the Shape
OF Letters from Shepherd and
Colonel Wilson.

Messrs Curtis OF Iowa and Cobb of Mis-
souri,, of the subcommittee ON ways and
rueans of the House District Committee
yesterday afternoon gave Il hearing to eX-
Representative Henlphill on tie bill to pro-
vide for the interest and payment OF GER
tain claims against tile District by means
of dra wbaCk certificates.
Mr.. Hemphili first called attention to
the destruction OF the Northern Liberty
Market, built upon a government reserva'
ton in 1872. Acting upon instructions
from Major o. Il. BabCuck. in charge OF
public buildings and grounds, 200 work
men removed the buildings and stalls,
killing two people and driving one person
insane.
Mr. Hemphlli read n letter from Col.
Wilson saying that he had examined the
records of Major Babcock's administra-
tion and failed to find al order for the forci-
bic removal OF the buildings. He also
read letter from Gov. Shepherd, written
during his last visit to Washington, declaring
it to be his opinion that those citizens who
suffered loss by reason OF the destruction
Of the Northern Liberty Market should
have an opportunity to present their claims
for adjudication. Gov. Shepherd con-
sidered the forCible removal OF the build
ings n the night as the quickest method
of settling the controversy between the
stall renters and the government, sup
posing those suffering thereby would subse'
Uuently be given reasonable compensation
The total value OF the pending claims,
Mr. Hemphll said. was between S15O.00U
| and 5000 900. The Commissioners had
reported the bill adversely simply on the
recommendation OF the attorney for the
District, who based his objections only
| on legal lines.
| The subcommittee suggested that Mr.
| HemphlI should again go before the Com
| missioners and show them the letter oi
| Col. Wilson, which is in the nature oi
new evidence, and try and secure a modi
| flcation of their adverse report. Mr..
| Hemphill agreed to this suggestion.
Attention was then called TO the claims
| for drawback arising from the double
| assessment OF corner lots. In a great
| many cases these assessments We're paid
| being levied both on the frontage and side
of corner lots. In other words, the owner
was compelled to pay for two fronts,
| the taxes thus being from five TO ter
| times as much as on an interior lot.
| The committee thought it better to di
| vide the claims and offer separate bills fol
| the relief of each class affected. This
course viii be pursued after further con
! sultatIon with the Commissioners.
