Tonight Prof. Taylor Reed photographed
the meteOTs with camera strapped TO the

tory, and Prof. William Libbey and Prof
Young watched for them with fixed cam
eras in the open air. During the early
hours this morning a few meteors were
noticed by the watchers, but no attempt
was made at photOgraphing them. Prof
Young said tonight:
The earth may have already passed

even if the showers come at night the
bright moonlight may possibly render large

CHARLES HALE RELEASED.
The Case OF Contempt Against Him
Dismissed by Justice Cole.

The Case of Contempt Against Him
Dismissed by Justice Cole.
Charles B. Hale. who was committed to
jail on June 13 for contempt by Justice
Bradley, sitting for Orphans Court busi-
ness. has been released from confinement
by order of Justice Cole. Hale was ap
pointed guardian for Mrs. Josephine Cooper
in March last, by the court. and immedi
ately assumed charge of her property,
which it is stated, was valued at about
So 500. Some time in May Mrs. Cooper
became suspicious Of Hale and asked the
court TO compel him to increase his bond
and make an accounting. This he failed
to do and Justice Bradley ordered his ar
rest In the mean time an accounting was
discovered that Hale was short about
$1.3C0 in his accounts.
After remaining in jail for about three
months Hale, through his attorney. F. f.
Colladay, filed a petition for his release.
He was called into court and examined as
to what disposition he made OF the funds
belonging to Mrs COoper's estate. He ad
mitted that he had used all the money
which was missing in drink.
After the examination Hale was recon-
mitted to jail to await further hearing.
This hearing was given him last week,
when it was decided by Justice Cole that
when Hale settled the cost of the pro-
ceedings he would be released. It is said
that the costs amounted to about S25,
which was paid by the prisoner before
his release from jail.

VIII make an effort to have the action Of
President Scott Overruled. At present he
Is not at the college but he has powerful
friends there. and the result of the next
meeting Of the trustees is awaited with
much interest The charge against Prof.
Shumway was that he refused to re-
/ iort the names OF students guilty of
hazing freshmen. Prof Shumway has
asked for full investigation and his
friends insist he will be vir1icated by the
trustees before Christmas. This is the
first time in the 1873 years of the college 4
existence that 4 member of the faculty
has bsen summarily dismissed by the
president
Ever since the college year began there
has been friction between the freshmen
and sophomore classes Fights occurred
almost daily, and the members of the IA ul-
ty were ordered by the president to report
the names OF all students caught hazing
freshmen or otherwise disturbing the peace
of the college. Some professors obeyed
and several students were dismissed. Prof
Shumway did not report man.
The college boys idolized him. Freshies
were frequently tied to his front door and
forced to seFenade him. The dismissal of
the professor caused intense feeling in the
college Many OF the students are angry
ct the action of President Scott, and some
Of them threaten to finish the course at
some other institution if Prof. Shumway is
not reinstated. Prof Shumway is well
known, and has been at Rutgers fer
years.

Corbett said, had promised TO meet him.
Brady did not come, however. Tom Shar-
key was there, but rs attended crly as

Yexad at Brady's non-appearance, and
showed his chagrin in many ways. Turn

Later in the day CCTbstt issued 800
word statement addressed to Jeffries. which
concludes as follows
1T has been stated by your admirers
that l would prove an easy victim 10 your
skill and strength. If that is so, then the
money and that of my friends, as well as
the purse. is at your mercy. That alone
should be incentive enough for you 10
clinch the match. At the same time
think I may without the slightest trace
of egotism, express my opinion that a big
clever man viii make more headway
against you than any ether, I viii also
call your attention 10 the fact that in the
nine rounds l was in the ring with Shar-
| key l was quite as effective as you in

What CoFbett intends to do should the
champion ignore him IS not known His
/ friends say he will not fight anyone else no
matter what other allurements are held
out Jeffries thinks he can easily whip
! Corbett, but does not want to act until
( he talks the subject over with Brady. If
the encounter is ratified on next Friday.

CITIZENS DISCUSS TAXES.
Alleged Discrimination in Favor o
Rich Property Owners.

The amount Of property exempt from tax
alton was the theme which the mem
bers Of the Northeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association discussed last night
President F. H. Tucker had invited rep
resentatiyes from all OF the citizens as
sociatious in the District to be present and
take part in the discussion, and there were
several of these delegates present.
Louis p. Shoemaker spoke al length upon
the subject OF unequal taxation. He read
a decision of the United States Supreme
Court relating to the taxation of church
property other than that occupied by the
church buildings. L. NJ. Saunders and F..
L. Siddons also spoke.
President Tucker said that he believed in
citizens associations. and was sure they
could accomplish much good if they would
make q united effort Taxation, he
said, as levied in this city is in favor of
the rich. The poor man with his S2.0OC
home was assessed at three -fourths of the
value Of his property, while a rich corpora
tion owning an Office building was taxed
only oIe-sixth the value of it's holdings.
j. b. Burke submitted paper containing
statistics relating to assessments in the
District. He directed his remarks princi-
pally at educational institutions, which, he
said, were rated as charities, and yet made
q profit last year Of over $125, 000.

The Status of the Senators for the

Whatever may be the outcome of the
meeting of the National League in New

certain-Washington will have a major
League OF an Association ball team. This
statement is made on the authority OF a
capitalist well and favorably known in

The plan as outlined to The Times re-
porter is as follows; Should the National
League and American Association of Base
ball Clubs decide to reduce the circuit to
eight clubs, then the contemplated new as
sociation viii assume definite shape, and
the organization will embrace in its mem
bership the following cities: Washington.
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, MiIwau-
kee. Detroit. st. Louis, and Chicago.
An eight-club schedule will be arranged
so that the dates will not interfere with
the League schedule in cities where two
rival clubs are located. The admission to
games Of the new organization will be %
