The officials are of the opinion that
the motive which led her to kill her hus-
band was for the purpose Of getting pos
session OF his life insurance OF $500 which
Is coming from the Order. The State Of

Mrs Gray have not lived happily together
FOR some time past, and that Mrs. Gray
was extremely jealous OF him.
Mrs. Gray was at home nursing her two
children, who have the measles, when
Sheriff Comfy made his appearance at tho
house. Mrs Gray was apparently unmoved.
She told the Sheriff she did not like TO

THE MINE WORKERS.
w. C. Pierce Gives Evidence Before
the industrial Commission.

Mr. W. C. Pierce. Secretary and Treas
urer of the United Mine Workers of
America, gave testimony before the In
dustrial Commission yesterday. He tas
had twenty years experience in the coal
mines of Ohio, and has thorough under
standing of the condition and existing re-
1ations of the mine operators and workers
Mr.. Pierce said that the United Mine
Workers have not sought TO intimidate
miners and force them TO join the organi-
Sation, but that their policy has been to do
missionary work among them and show
them the advantage of labor being organ
lied, and as a result of the strike of 1897
membership in their organization has been
greatly increased.
He said that the miners have a great deal
of trouble about the screens getting out
OF order. the meshes become stretched,
which allow a great deal of the coal TO
sift through which they receive no pay
for, although 1t is sold and sometimes for
larger price than the larger coal that
remains IN the screen. The operators are
not willing TO keep these screens in order,
which is often the cause of strikes There
was quite long discussion by the witness
on the screen question. which is looked
upon as very important subject to the
mining industry. The miners want them
abolished altogether. and the matter is
likely to be brought before Congress.
though more help can be looked for through
the State Legislatures. In one State
law was passed abolishing the screens
but 1t was declared unconstitutional

THE DECISION REVERSED.
Matter of II Mistake in the Property
Assessment Roll.

/. L. johnson, 914 New York Avenue, in
the name OF Mrs. F. Freund, recently re-
quested the cancellation of the assessment
and penalty against sublot s, in square
374 He informed the Commissioners that
Mrs. Freund made application for a state
ment of the taxes due on the property twice
during the year and paid the bills which
were sent TO her.
''In the last published list of tax delin-
quents," wrote Mr.. Johnson, the property
Is advertised for taxes claimed under an
additional assessment for the period COW
cred by her tax bills and receipts and to
this additional assessment a penalty has
been added This. | submit, is illegal for
the reason that the District of Columbia
has no authority TO change its records after
the citizen has met all the demands of the
District at the time OF settlement. The
District being the custodian of its own
records and accounts, is bound by the
statements made from them by its agents. ="
The matter was referred to Matthew
Trimble, Assessor for the District, who
stated that the improvements for the gen.
eral assessment of 1887 were returned at
sl1 900, but in transcribing the assessment
to the tax ledger they were enormously
copied 81 100, which was continued for the
years 1897 and 1895 leaving a balance OF
tax due on these years at a valuation OF
$500 in the amount OF sl4S.50 for each
year The Assessors recommendation that
the request of Mr.. johnson be denied was
approved by the Commissioners March 30,
and the latter was informed that the for
mer were aware of no valid reason why
the request for cancellation should be
granted. Subsequently the papers were re-
ferred to s. T. Thomas, Attorney for the
District and as his opinion rendered sew
eral days ago Is contrary to the recommen-
dation OF the Assessor. the Commissioners
have reversed their former action The
opinion of Attorney Thomas in the mat
ter is in part as follows;
In view of the fact that the failure of
Mrs. Freund to pay the full amount of
taxes against sublot g. square 374, was
due to a mistake in the Assessors office.
in transcribng to the tax ledger the value
of the improvements for 1897 as 81, 100,
whereas IL should have been 900, my
opinion is Mrs Freund should not be
charged with penalties and costs on the
balance of the taxes for the years 1897 and
1888
The complainant will be notified accord
ingly.
