SYSTEMATIC CHARITY.
Plan to Prevent the Duplication of
Appropriations to the Poor.

There will be hearing given on Tues
day of next week to representatives OF the
Associated Charities upon proposition to
concentrate the responsibility for expendi-
lures from public appropriations in one
plication of charitable awards.
The plan Of Jne Associated Charities has
not been officially developed. but in a
general way ii is understood that an ef
fort is TO be made by that organization
To have the government funddisbursed upon
the recommendation of its officials. They
will expect the assistance Of the police In
making inquiries, but will also employ their
own agents in that direction.
1t is known that this plan will he antag-
onized. 1t was said today by an official,
in comment upon it, that the responsibility
for the disbursement CT public funds can
not be ignored by those intrusted with it,
nor can it be relinquished upon invitation
They have the proper equipment" said
he, under the District control for meeting
the necessities OF the deserving poor. and
in cases o. extreme necessity the central
relief committee may be brought into requi-
sition.
1T seems to ME the Associated Charities
have enough work to do in distributing
what comes into their hands from volunteer
sources. The organization can without
doubt do all that is required of it in that
line with great acceptability. If its Off
GERS ask for control of expenditures of tie
public fund, shall oppose 1t, at the proper
time"

The inquiry into the sanity of Calvin
Wilmer OF No. 1918 PENNSYLVANIA ave
nue., brought by Million Nitnlcr, OF Hagcrs-
town, was resumed this morning at til city
nall.
AS already stated in The Times, it is ;,n-
other case of alleged schcming and in
trigpins. The defenda nj wasreprcsented by
Col. Edwin b. Hay, and Judge Jere wilson
represented the petitioner. II Is alleged
that since an illness last spring MIR. Wit
mer has been unable to properly look after
his business, and 1t is liable to become .usJ
and depreciatc in value. He is largely in-
tereStch in several real estate transactions,
and owns real estate valued at about So
900.
Mr. wilmer the alleged lunatic, admits
that lie has beenill, but denies that his mind
is affected. Hi, friends say lie is constantly
improving from the effects of Il nervous
attack. and that he is fully able to attend
To his business.
Testimony was given last week by Drs
Sothrun and Darling 10 the effect tha5
Mr. Wilmer was not insane. George j.
Johnson and X. l.. Wheeler gave evidence
that Mr.. Winners business transactions
We're absolutely correct.
DR. A. p. Pardon testified this morning
that he had known Mr.. Wilmer for many
years. lie stated that Mr.. Wilmer was
very much depressed by the death OF his
son. He had never hcen told by Mr.. Wit
ner of any conveyance of his real estate.
lie feared that Mr.. winners mental CON
dition has not greatly improved. and he
would not have accepted a deed from him
during the past year. He considered Mr.
Wtmer capable at the present time ofattend-
ing only TO ordinary business matters
DT. Samuel c. Busey told the jury that
MIR Wilmer consulted him profess onaily,
but lie could get nothing definite from him.
and judged Wilmer incapable Of carrying
on business affairs. His memory was de-
fectiye.
Cashier Williams, of the West End
Natiohai Bank, said he had known Mr.. Wit
mer since 1883. He thought that during
1.-The last year Mr.. Wilmer seemed very
errauc, and he believed him at times to
be incapable Of carrying on iniT ortant busi-
ness -TanSactiOns- During the past eight
months he would I OF have accepted Mr
winners Endorsement on a rote.
Mrs Annie q. Icll, a remarkably bright
young lady, Mr. Winners bC okkeeper and
sister-inlaw, said Nj. Wilmer had teen to
her like a ia her. She thought his man
agcnepJ of the business was intelligent
careful and BuSineSS-hkc. He became ill
las; Fourth OF July with ryousRess,
)ccasioned, she said, by inquiries in, 0 his
affairs uade by his relatives.
She said she knew Mr.. Milton Wilmer,
the brother, and thought be was lot as
capan!e mentally as Mr. Calvin Wilmer.
