crowd of spectators in attendance, and yes

Archer for the defence, who discussed the
evidence in the case. arguing that, viewed
from any and all standpoints, it would he
impossible for the jury to find the defend
ant guilty. He was in turn followed by c.
Maurice Smith, the leading counsel for the
defendant. Mr.. Smith was as severe ON
Mr.. Tayior as the latter was upon the de-
PENDANT and criticised his manner of argu-
ment to the jury.
The closing address was made on behalf
of the Government by District Attorney
Anderson, who went over the testimony
carefully, LINKING II together in such a way
as to demonstrate the unenviable part The
defendant took in the commission of the
crime of which he is accused.

A FAULTY TAX LAW.
The Bill Submitted 10 Congress by
the District Commissioners.

The Commissioners OF the District yes
terday transmitted to committees in both
houses of Congress the draft of a bill pro-
yidng for ar amendment TO tie tax laws
of the District.
1t is provided that the clause intended
for the protection of purchasers at tax
sales shall be repealed. By the provisions
of this clause buyers of such property
could claim a rebate OF interest on any
money paid for taxes due until they should
be entitled TO a tax deed. q
The working out OF the law entailed great
labor and expense upon the tax deoart-
ment, and for that reason its repeal is
sought.
According to the statement issued by
the Commissioners the aggregate amount
so far received in any one years taxes
has been less than $500, and this sum has
been made up OF items ranging from
cents to 800. But more than one-half OF
the items are less than 81 and compare
lively few as large as So.
Tho Commissioners express the nope
that the proposed bill may be promptly
enacted by Congress.

NEW YORK. Feb. ia number Of Ma
tional League baseball men in the East
received positive assurance today from
agents who are watching the movements
of the new Association promoters at Chi
cago that very shortly all bets will be de-
clared off. or. In other words, the pro-
posed rival organization will conclude 10
hold of until next winter at least.
The information sent is to the effect that
no matter how bright the prospects are
painted by the Association men Chere is
undeniable proof that they cannot start
the season with complete circuit and,
therefore will decide to throw up the
sponge. Further. II is stated ythe
Leagues workers that Association clubs
at Chicago, Providence, and Detroit are
out OF the question; also that the legal
tangle at Baltimore over the ownership
OF grounds has turned out to be an obstacle
which MeGraw cannot remove Immediately.
Additional news points 10 general
backdown by the hackers OF the Phila-
delphia end OF the circuit who will nor
put UP money unless Chicago. Providence.
and Detroit are positively in the game.

Mr. Mattingly in addressing the court, to
constitute himself the legal advisor OF this
court After a series of verbal sparring
matches, the judge advocate stated to the
court that the stenographer had requested
him TO inform the body that he would de-

court after that session.
The rule of clearing the court for every

wrangle over the request of Lieutenant
Heron that he be excused, the defendants

authority the court was acting. No tesu-
mony of an important nature was adduced,

that this point was by any means clearly

The Methods of Teaching in the Pub
lie schools Criticised.

At meeting of the Mount Pleasant
! Citizens Association, held last night at
! tie Sanford Hotel. Fourteenth Street and
Sheridan Avenue. a resolution was adopted
criticizing the methods of teaching now In
practice in the public schools OF this city.
Passages of the resolution. presented by
A. B. Chatfield. Treasurer of the associa-
tion. read as follows:
Whereas while we believe that the es-
sential studies have been prescribed in
our schools. they have been so amplified
that the scholars are burdened and fail to
learn the fundamental principles.
Resolved. That we request that steps
be taken to return TO a more thorough
teaching of the common branches and in
a more simple way"
Following the reading of the resolution,
which was of considerable length. Mr..
Chatfeld spoke on what he termed the
Outrageous system of rushing the stu
dents OF the high school.
THE scholars are so burdened," said
the speaker, that they want to get away
from their studies. As it is at present,
there seems to be no element of pleasure
introduced to interest the students in their
work / doubt II in late years more than
% per cent of the scholars who enter the
high school ever complete the four-year
course which is necessary TO graduation

had been given to first-year scholars.
claiming that ii was outrageous for chill
dren to be expected TO learn such difficult
lessons

chatfeld, that many parents who are
able in dn so take their children from the

planning with the present system of the
free schools. s-E
while many principals OF teaching are
correct, II is evident that we have drifted
away from the simpler and more effective
methods. Why Is our school system at
fault? Surely Judging from the appropria-
lions made by the city We should have the
very best" MIR. Chatfeld concluded by re-
ferring to the statement of school trus-
tee who said that 1.-The school board usually
allows the superintendent of schools to do
about as he pleases"
Considerable discussion followed Mr..
Chatfeld's talk, which resulted In mod
ification Of the resolution as offered Sew
eral members. while agreeing that many
points of the teaching system are at fault,
did not believe In making general de-
nouncement Of the system.
Among other matters discussed by the
association was Senate bill 201S, providing
for the extension OF the Metropolitan Rail-
way lines along Sixteenth Street. The
members favored the bill with the elimina-
ton of the lines 1t contains. which author
ize assessments for the expense of widen
