LATE EXAMINER HEIsING.

Efforts I'm Progress by the Police to
Locate His Relatives.

the civil service commission. it was learned
by Star reporter this morning that Franz
l. Heising, the assistant examiner in the
patent office, who died last Friday at
Providence Hospital, and whose remains
are held at Lees undertaking establish
ment. was a native OF Weidenbreck West
phalia province. Germany. Mr.. Heising
states in the history he has written Of him
self, which Is included in those papers,
that he came to this country in 1890 to
learn the English language At the time
OF his death he was sixty-five years old.
For the twenty years previous to his COM
Ing to America he was in the coal business
with his brother in his native town. and
he left his brother in the business when
he came here. The account of his school
Ing and previous experience shows him to
have been thoroughly qualified for the work
he was doing. One position he held before go
ing into business with his brother was fore
man for an engine building establishment,
where he said he had charge of construct
Ing the largest stationary engines ever
built
The police in their endeavor to communi-
cate with the relatives of the dead exam
tner, took from the papers the names Of
the references Mr.. Heising gave of rer-
sons who knew him in Pittsburg. Major
Sylvester has communicated with these
gentlemen. but their reply is that they
know nothing of Heising's family. The ad-
dress In Germany was given to the police

POsey Wilson's Term In Jail Limited
to Thirty Days.

POsey Wilson's Term In Jail Limited
to Thirty Days.
BY an order received by mail this after
noon at the city hall from Justice Brad
ley Of the Supreme Court Of the District
Of Columbia, who is summerlng at East
hampton, Long Island, it is directed that
the order passed the 30th Of last month,
adjudging Posey S. Wilson TO be in con-
tempt Of court and directing his arrest
and commitment to jail, be amended by
making the term Of the Imprisonment thir-
ty days from the date of commitment.
Wilson. it will be recalled, was ordered
by Justice Bradley to show cause why he
should not be adjudged in contempt for
failure to obey an order of the court re-
straining him from annoying his former
wife, Mrs. Augusta E. Wilson. who had OBJ
tanned a divorce from him. The rule was
returnable Monday of last week. Wilson
ignored it and the following day the order
adjudging him in contempt and directing
his commitment was signed. The evening

rested Wilson while he was in the writing
room of the Riggs House. It is said

He is said to have ripped his bed open,
scattered the straw contents about and
misbehaved otherwise until the officials Of
the institution found it necessary to hand
cuff him and string him up to the cell
door. This treatment settled the trouble.

DIFFERENCES ADJUSTED.
Liability for alleged Damage to Street
Railway Tracks.

Liability for alleged Damage to Street
Railway Tracks.
The District Commissioners have finally
settled the difference arising between the
Capital Traction Company and ]. K. Muir
ply, the contractor who constructed
the Tiber creek and New Jersey avenue
high level intercepting sewer. over the re-
pair Of the street railway company's tracks.
The tracks were quite badly damaged by
sinking at the point where the big ditch
was dug beneath them just south Of the
Capitol grounds. The Traction company
submitted claim for $1.774.s7 to Contractor
Murphy, covering the extent of the repairs
jected to the bill, claiming it was exorbi-
tant.
The matter was then placed before the
District Commissioners for settlement and
an extended hearing was had, at which all
the parties at interest were present. The
damage and repairs were thoroughly dis
cussed. The Commissioners arrived at the
conclusion that Contractor Murphy was
responsible for the damage, and should
have placed the tracks in their original con-
dition. Today the Commissioners notified
the parties that they had concluded that
the amount due the Capital Traction Com
pany should be $1.512.82. This the Commits
sioners will pay, and will withhold like
amount from the balance due Mr.. Murphy
on his contract.
There are several other claims pending
against the same contractor for alleged
damage to various underground construc-
tions, principally conduits.

AUDITOR PETTY's RESPONSE.
Submits a Statement Regarding Con
trOyersy Over Accounts.

Mr.. J. T. Petty, auditor for the District.
today submitted to the District Commits
sioners lengthy statement, giving his YER
sion Of the controversy which recently
arose at the District building in regard to
per diem employees. and with especial ref
erence to the street cleaning department
Mr.. Petty's communication Is an exhaus-
tive review of the whole situation. covering
about sixteen typewritten pages. The Conn
missoners today declined to give the let
ter out for publication, saying that the
matter was one with which the Commits
sioners should deal exclusively.
Mr. Petty's letter, it Is generally limited
at the District building, Is a statement in
his own behalf in view of the accusations
which have been published to the effect
that he had passed heretofore pay accounts
for workmen who had not performed full
days work. as prescribed by law. 1t was
said that Mr.. Petty had passed accounts Of
this kind in the past, but had held up a
recent account in the street cleaning de-
partment. Mr.. Petty, it is understood,
quotes from records to fully sustain his
position in the matter from first to last.
He takes issue with the committee which
submitted a report recently to the effect
that two or three per diem employees in
other departments had received pay for
full time when they had in reality worked
but a fraction of a day. Mr.. Petty denies
that the facts substantiate any such state
ment. He declares that the case Of the
clerk in the street cleaning Office Is the
only one on record, 1t is said, where pay
was allowed for a full day when only a
portion of the day was actually included
in the time of labor. Mr.. Petty gives the
record of the clerk in the street cleaning
office in full.
In regard to the Sunday work, for which
1t was alleged pay had been allowed in the
street cleaning department for many years
past, Mr.. Petty is understood to have SUBJ
mitted signed statements by the former su-
perintendents Of the department to the eff
feet that no pay was received for work
not actually performed in full.

MEXICO'S ATTITUDE.
Not Likely to Take Up the Cause OF

1t is understood that the Mexican author
tiles here have given rather pointed evi-
dence that they do not wish to take up
Chile's cause in the controversy as to
whether arbitration shall be broadly dis
cussed before the coming Latin-Amercan
congress. The Chilean minister recently
addressed note to Secretary Hay, stating
that if the plans of the congress were
changed so that the arbitration question
would be brought in without limit, Chile
would reserve the right of determining
hereafter as to whether she would be rep
resented. The request was made that this
position of Chile be communicated to the
government Of Mexico. The communica-
ton was duly sent to the Mexican author1-
ties here. 1t appears, however, that they
do not feel warranted in receiving notice
as to Chile's course of action except
through the regular channels Of diplomatic
communication between Chile and Mexico.
For this reason the notification has not
gone forward to Mexico, and it Is under
Stood that a suggestion has been made
that it would be more appropriate for such
communication to be made direct to
Mexico. -.'s- ...r.1. 49,
