There was well-attended meeting OF the
| Business Mems Association last evening in
| Elks' Hall, 1905 E street northwest. The
| president, Mr.. w. S. Knox presided. A
resolution was adopted indorsing the action
of the board of directors in sending to
Chairman Babcock of the House District
committee a letter protesting against action
on the bill to regulate the collection OF
taxes in the District. 1t was believed to
be best to have committee on taxation.
and as an addition to the standing COM
mittees cannot be made without an amend
| ment to the constitution, it was decided to
appoint a special committee and at the
meeting in June provide for standing
| committee.
| The members of the special committee
appointed are Thomas G. Hensey, Mr.. L.
| NJ Saunders, Mr. John S. Miller. Mr.. Will
| lam ]. Frizzell and Mr.. ]. Edward Minnix.
| The committee will represent the associa-
| ton in opposing the passage of the taxation
bill. Credentials of membership in the as
ISOLATION were presented by Mr.. ]. Edward
| Minnix and Mr.. Albert L. Richardson rep
resenting the Anacostia Citizens Associa-
ton, and by Mr.. William ]. Frizzell and
Mr.. Samuel Sowerbutts. representing the
Northeast Washington Citizens Associa-
ton. letter was read from the North
Capitol and lexington Citizens Associa-
ton, stating that the request that it send
representatives to the Business Mems AsSo-
citation had been taken under advisement.
The association Endorsed the action q the
Georgetown Citizens Association in asking
the Senate District committee to present
the bill chartering the Washington Tele-
phone Company to the Senate for immedi-
ate consideration.
A resolution from the Congress Heights
Associa ton asking that the new code be
so amended as to provide that person
shall be eligible to appointment to any office
in the District government until he has
been a resident of the District at least five
years was referred to the committee on law
and legislation.
The association heard Mr.. George NJ
Ramsey, president of the Printing Press
mems Union, who asked that encourage
ment be given to the invitation of the local
union to the international convention of
1901 to meet in this city. A resolution was
adopted assuring the hearty cooperation of
the association.
An address was made by Mr.. Simon Wolf,
who urged united action on the part of citi-
zens to advance the interests of the city.
At the close of the meeting refreshments
were served by the Washington Lodge Of

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I wish to draw attention through your
columns to one of the most annoying nui-
sances that our citizens are suffering from
to a great extent at present. 1 allude to
the dropping of grease on the streets by
the electric cars.
In drops and In chunks you will find it
over the streets everywhere that these cars
run. Citizens have to cross the Streets
and unwittingly get it on their shoes and
sometimes, as in my case. carry it home
and ruin carpet. The Washington and
Capital Traction Companies ought to be
made to put dripping pans under their cars.
The nuisance is much more noticeable this
year than ever before. I know 1 am only
voicing the sentiments of a large majority
of our people when 1 say, Let us have
dripping pans as well as vestibu,es.

LOOKOUT MINES
A Rich Copper Group in the White
 Tank Mountains.

Tom Gray, Ed Sowers and W. M. Gray will leave this morning with camp supplies and equipment for the de- Velopment of the LookOuI6 group of copper claims in the north end of the White Tank mountains about twelve miles from Beardsley.
 These claims were located less than q year ago by Ed Sewers and Tom Gray, and while no great amount of de- Velopment work has yet been done, all assays Ito date have been very en- couraging. The principal claim is To- cated at the junction of eight Hedges, five of them running in one direction rection. The surface indications are all that can be desired and assays of the country rock show 13 per cent cop per, while assorted ore assays 30 per cent copper. There is also some gold and silver. Messrs. Gray and Sewers the property to w. M. Gray, a brother of Tom Gray, for 5000, an tine money is to be spent in development work. Said one of them yesterday: We are going to fiid a big thing or bore a hole clear through that hill" As soon as they get their tunneI into the right kind of rock they will make a shipment of a carload, the result of which will more definitely settle future operations.

THE CANANEA STRIFE
Status of the Green-Lindsey Con
 troversy.

The Los Angeles Herald of a recent issue contains the following, which will not be without interest to Ari- zonians:
 "Florencio E. Monteverdc, Jr., well known electrical engineer and mining man of Hermosillo, Mex, was visiting in this city yesterday, and had some interesting information regarding the progress of the mining industry in So- nora and Sinaloa. Of the city of Her nosillo, Mir. Monteverde says it is the center of d mining district that is growing each day in importance. and the effect is very noticeable in the city. As against 250 lights two years ago, Hermosillo now uses over 4,O00 and has an electric supply ulant that is the peer of any in Southern California. In paving, building and general appear ance, the city is being rapidly modern ized.
 MT. MOnteverde also had some late information concerning w. C. Greene and his Cananea mines. For a long time Greene has been in possession of the valuable copper properties and has defied the Mexican officials to rout him out of what Messrs. Lycurgus x Lind sey claimed under prior ownership. Greene kept a large number of cow boys on the payroll and used them to drive off all civilians, but when d squad of soldiers would be sent to sup port the civil officers, not an armed cowboy could be found, though they returned soon enough when the sol

THE HAUNTs OF JUSTICE
The Navarro Libel Suits Fall to the
 Ground.

The criminal libel cases brought at ! the instance of the former Mexican consul, Leon V. Navarro, against Sanchez and de Ia Loma, and Sanchez and SalaZar, were dismissed in the dis trict court yesterday morning on the motion of District Attorney FlanniSan,
 who said that he didn't believe that the evidence against the defendants would warrant conviction, and beside the prosecuting witness had not ap- peared and nobody seemed to know where he could be found. The con- sul's divorced wife was present in court, ready to testify in favor of the defendants. The rest of the day was taken up by the trial of the damage suit of Meyer vs. Stanford, for malic ious prosecution. This litigation had
 a humble beginning in a justice s court about q lot of dairy cows. It
 grew and grew until it became q per sonal matter with the litigants, re- ceived more attention than it deserved, and at last found it's way into the dis trict court
 The celebrated Roarke case came up iii probate court. This was case i'll which several of the heirs of the estate
 had filed a petition for the removal of Cora Brill. administrative of the estate of James ROarke. Among the pett- tioners are William Roarke and R. w. Baxter, the former a nephew. and the
 latter brother-in-law of James Roarke.
 Baxter had formerly joined with the
 Brill interests in the estate against a will afterwards found to be spurious.
 leaving the property to the nephew.
 Following the collapse of this will,
 Miss Brill, who is a niece of James
 Roarlle. was appointed adminstra-
 triX.
 That was nearly Q year ago. The
 petitioners aEege that she is only
 ffgurehead and that the adminiStra-
 tion is conducted by other parties and not in the interest of the estate.
 The evidence in this matter was
 heard about a month ago, but the ar guments were continued from time to
 time until yesterday.
