OPINION REVIVING AN
OLD NAVAL SCANDAL
Creditors of Purser Price Must
Be Paid.
Legal Decision Given in a Long
Mooted Case.
The Comptroller of the Treasury Up
holds an Act Favoring
Claimants.

An old scandal was recalled today, when
the Comptroller of the Treasury render
ed decision to the effect that the credi-
,, tors of Rodman Nj. Price must be paid $23,-
100 tj
Price was once Governor of New Jersey
and afterward a member OF Congress. In
1850 he was a purser in the United States
Navy and stationed at San Francisco A
clerk of Price was afterward appointed in
his place, and he came back to Washing
ton. He arrived here with receipts from
his successor for SO, 900 for money turned
over to his former clerk. His vouchers
for expenses and disbursements he claim
ed to have lost by the burning of steam
boat.
On investigation the successor of Price
denied having received the money but ad-
mitted signing the receipts. The Govern
ment sued Prices bondsmen for the
| amount, but was beaten. In 1892 Congress
passed an act allowing Price the 75.0Oo
| Prices creditors enjoined him 81 the Fed
eral courts from realizing on caecks given
him. but he disobeyed the Injunction and
went to Jail in consequence. Shortly aft
erward he died.
The last Congress included in an omni-
bus measure an allowance of the balance
OF $23,1e to the creditors OF Price The
matter was referred TO the Comptroller of
the Treasury. who decided that the money
must be paid.

RAILWAY LINES IN DETROIT.
Important Action Concerning CITY
and Corporation Ownership.

Detroit Mich. April yesterday saw
nicipal and corporate ownership of the
street railway lines of Detroit The first
was the organization of a new corporation,
made up of hitherto unknown persons
This corporation fled its articles. with a
capitalization of $25, 200, and covers all the
street railway lines and equipment in De-
troit. Its apparent purpose is to get into
one company all the street railway inter-
ests of the city. in order that the corl
mission may deal with one party rather
than several. AS Bernard Clark holds 24G
Of the 80 shares. he lis evidently the man
picked out to conduct the negotiations.
The second was the letter from the own
erS of the present street railways TO the
municipal purchasing commission, in which
the former offered TO open negotiations
and to open its books for the latters in
spection. The third was the veto which
Mayor Maybury sent to the common coun-
ell disapproving of the appointment of the
commission. He named two grounds for
his disapproval, The first was that the
charter gave him power TO so disapproye,
and the second that unless he had this
power the new law was void. He must
have been surprised at the reception that
his veto received. for President Beamer. of
the common council, who has hitherto been
reckoned with the opponents of municipal
ownership, promptly ruled it out of order,
and it has no standing, either, as an off
cial document of the mayor in the COM
mon council proceedings, except that by
courtesy the council voted to have il
printed in the papers received by them.

ed her she should exercise great care in
her selection of helpmate. and if the man
she chose ever ill-treated her Compton

EIect-ieaI yisians.

(From the Philadelphia North American)
Marconi has demonstrated the possibility OF
sending telegraph messages across the British
Channel without wires Tesla says that he can,
when his appliances shall be perfected. commu-
nicate with London without the aid OF cables.
For the demonstration of that we shall have to
wait. Mr.. Tesla is one of the brightest of elec.
triciaas. and we are all proud of him. He has
done some good work, and probably will do
more. Yet he promises much so far in advance
of performance that doubts have arisen as to his
practical abilities u
He would be guilty of rashness who should
out wires So little is known about electricity
that it is unsafe to deny anything postulated by
Mr.. Tesla. But III a message can be sent 5000
miles without wires, why not to any distance
in space?
If the electricians in Mars should be expert
menting, and if Tesla should happen to direct
one OF his electrical waves in that direction,
nobody can say what might not happen.
