PAID NO TAXES HERE.
Colonel Roosevelt Not "a Resident of
This District,

Whether the statement is true that Col.
Theodore Roosevelt swore off his taxes
in the State of New York by making affi-
davit that he was a resident of the Dis
trict, he has not paid any personal taxes
during his residence in this city.
The statement was made to reporter
for The Times at noon today by Matthew
Trimble, the District assessor, after
thorough search of the records, that Col.
Roosevelt had neither been assessed nor
had he paid taxes for either real or per
sonal property in this city.
The records of the tax collectors office
bear out and corroborate the statement
of Mr.. Trimble. The house in which Col.
Roosevelt resided during his term of Of
flee in this city is the property of Mrs.
Annie NJ. Mills, the widow of the late
John s. Mills. who now resides al No.
1927 7 Street northwest.
Assistant District Attorney Shillington,
when seen by a reporter for The Times,
said that the mere fact that Col. Roose-
welt lived here did not make him resi-
dent of this city
"A man to be properly considered a res
ident of any State or Territory" said Mr..
Shillington, must have an intention of
permanently remaining in that State.
The test of a mans residence is to be
found in this intention-whether he in
tends to live at a certain place or In n
certain State with his family, or wheth-
er he intends to leave that State with his
family.
THE mere fact that Col Roosevelt lived
here does not moke him resident. If
the latter were true. a man, ii seems to
me, might live in Baltimore or some 9TH
er place and conduct a business here, and
by paying personal taxes on his stock
claim to be a resident of this city. Or,
on the other hand he might claim that
he was exempt from personal taxation
because he was a resident of the other
place. If Col. Roosevelt didn't abandon
his intention of living in Nv York with
his family when he came here il seems
to me that he would remain a resident of
New York. The mere fact that he lived
here would not change his residence. AS
he was an official his legal residence was
in the State from which he came, proyid-
ing he did not abandon that residence in
coming here"
Mr.. Shillington said that he thought
that Col. Roosevelt himself was in the
best position to state what place he
claims as his residence, as he himself
probably best knows his own Intentions
in that matter.

RoGsevelt In Peace.
(From the Buffalo Times.)

Republican sentiment favors the action of Plat
because il fears him. He cOnHges and drives and
yet they go to him. Roosevelt has done this Be
fore the people OF the entire State, directly under
the calcium, and through the agency of Platt's
lieutenants Roosevelt went to the Fifth Avenue
to promise subservience to the man who has been
the direct cause of New York's disgraceful State
government. To show the independent anti Platt
citizens that it Roosevelts choice. that meet
ing with Platt, the Terrible Colonel went to
Platt without invitation. Before the world
he acknowledged he willing TO go to PIatt
willing to accept harness which will drive Gov
Black to political obscurity; to take up the dirty
work OF NAL administration where Gov Black
has left off. This is what Roosevelt has done and
Teddy how could YOU do it?

PLANS AFTER EVACUATION.
American Work In Cuba Begins
When the Standards Go.

when the Spanfards Go.
There is good reason for believing that
this Government desires the evacuation of
Cuba to begin promptly. The Military
Commissioners are cognizant of this de-
sire on the part of the President. and
the evacuation will begin not later than
October 10.
While the army movement will begin to
Cuba soon after October 10, the Ameri-
can Government will not fairly begin un-
til the Spanish hold upon the island is
totally relinquished. Until then the iu-
risdiction of Spain will be respected. The
last Spanish soldier is expected to be
gone by January l next and plans for
complete American occupation date from
that time.
Acting Secretary MeikIejohn said today
that the policy of the Government had
not yet been fully decided upon. The
plan is now under consideration.
1t has progressed 10 this point: There
shall be three districts, namely, Santi-
ago, Santa Clara and Havana While
names are not yet definitely announced,
Gen. Lawton is confidently spoken of for
Santiago; Gen. Wheeler for Santa Clara
and Gen. Lee for Havana.
Gen. Lee will not be separated from his
corps. but it is questioned whether he
will be the commanding officer of the
whole island. Other names are men,
toned for that honor, which may carry
the title of governor general of Cuba.
Brig. Gen. Wade has been confidently
mentioned in connection with this posi-
tion. and also Major Gen. Brooke.
One obstacle in the way of Gen. Lee is
that it is not thought best to advance a
major general of volunteers over a ma
jor general and brigadier general of the
regular army.
1t Is possible that Gen. Wade may be
in command of ali the troops of the ISL
and, looking after the general military
situation, while Gen. Brooke may look
after the civil machinery. embracing the
customs. postoffice, policing of the island
and other features.

KILLED BY HUGE STONES.
One Quarryman's Life Snuffed Out
and Another Seriously Hurt.

Norristown, Pa. Sept al. Heston
Todd & Sons limestone quarry at Port
Kennedy was the scene of a terrible acci-
dent. in which one man was killed and an
other seriouely injured. Michael Vananski
was the one killed, and John Gudlinski
was hurt.
The men were at work drilling on the
base of a quarry, preparatory to a blast.
They did not know that their work was
causing several huge stones on the top of
a small mound to gradually become loos-
ened, and just as they were preparing for
a blast these stones fell. One of the larg-
est stones struck Vananski, and he was
killed instantly. Gudlinski was more for
tunate and will recover.

Check worker Arrested.

A German giving the name of Karl Har-
bets was arrested last evening for attempt
ing to pass a check, bearing what is sup
posed to have been the forged signature of
David Bradley & Co., the implement firm on
South Main street. Harbets presented the
check, which was made out for $57.9 5, at the
real estate office of E. H. Lougee, but Mr..
Lougee at once suspected that the check
was a forgery and so told the man. Harbets
left the office and proceeded in the direction
of Bayliss park and Mr.. Lougee Immediately
notified the police by telephone. An officer
was sent to the park, but Harbets had dis
appeared by this time. Three officers were
then detailed on the case and Harbets was
oyerhauled near the water works station,
evidently making tracks for Omaha. AS the
officer approached Harbets tore up several
letters and a check, which is thought to be
the one he presented at Lougee's office. The
pieces were carefully picked up and an at
tempt will be made today to put them to-
gether. Harbets admits presenting the
check, but denies knowing that it was a
forged one.
