A Decision by Judge Taylor Affect
ing Secondhand Dealers.
The decision of Judge Taylor in the Po-
lice Court yesterday in the case of Charles
f. Hill a harness dealer, who was charged
with violating the police regulations in
reference TO the sale of second hand articles
will allow dealers in secondhand goods
great latitude in the purchase and sale
of goods in their lines OF business. the
opinion of the court in disposing of the
matter was the general subject of discus
sion yesterday among members OF the bar
who knew of it, because il was in direct
variance with the usual result in similar
| cases.
Mr. Hill was charged with buying sec
ond-hand harness and falling to make the
report of such transaction required by law
to the Superintendent of Police. He was
arrested Monday and upon the deposit OF
collateral the case was continued until yes
terday morning.
According to the decision second hand
harness dealer or a dealer in second hand
goods other than in articles of junk and
clothing is not compelled to make report
of his purchases. This is diametrieally op-
posed to the rulings of previous judges
and two years ago a harness dealer was
fined $50 for failure to make proper re-
port.
The law of Congress. passed in 1891,
governing the matter reads as follows:
Be il enacted That the act Of the late legisla-
tive assembly of the District OF Columbia, ap-
proved August %, 1871, entitled: IAN act i'm

sions practiced or carried On in the District of
Columbia" be, and the is hereby, amended
as follows; that is TO say, by striking all of
paragraph 49, of section q, OF said act, and in
serting in lien thereof the following:

sonal property of any kind description what
soeyer shall pay to the District of Columbia IL

soever, shall be subject to the provisions of This
act and to all the laws and regulations now in
force in the District of Columbia, and to all the
valid regulations which may hereafter be pro-
yded relating 10 junk dealers or dealers in see
oEd-hand personal property: Provided, never

Captain Taylor,s Request Denied.

The Navy Department has declined the appli-
cation of Capt. II. c. Taylor, to be relieved from
command OF the battleship Indiana. The reason
for the departments action is that Capt. F. W.
Dickins, who has been selected for the command
of the vessel in the early autumn. cannot be
spared from the Navy Department at present and
there is other officer easily available for the
command of the ship. Captain Dickins is Acting
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation in the absence
of Rear Admiral Crowninsheld. The latter of
fcer is expected home from Europe within a short

then take a brief leave OF absence before resuming
