CAPITAL STOCK EXEMPT
JUDGE BRADLEY's DECISION Az
FECTING NATIONAL BANKS.
Says the missiOners Have No Au-
thOrity for Levying Assessment
as Proposed.

Justice Bradley this afternoon rendered
an important decision to the effect that the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia
do not possess the power to levy a tax upon
the capital stock of national banks in the
District. This decision was rendered in con-
nection with the proceedings for an injunc-
ton instituted by the national banks Of the
District for the purpose of testing the law
The Commissioners were about to proceed
under the provisions of the act of March 8,
1871 They claim that this act made the
capital stock of national banks liable to tax
alton.
In disposing of the matter Justice Brad
ley followed a decision rendered about
twenty years ago by the court in general
term in the case of the National Bank OF
the Republic against John Cook, collector.
That decision held that Congress by the
act of March 3, 1877, did not intend to re-
peal the provision in the national banking
act that exempted the capital stock of ma
tional banks from any except federal tax
alton.
According to Justice Bradley no law has
been passed since that changes the de-
cisfon of the court in general term In the
case cited.

| Admiral Dewey-"The court has some
| questions"
Questioned by the Court.
Admiral Benham then handed Admiral
Dewey a number Of questions written out
and the judge advocate arose to go around
| to get them, when Admiral Dewey motioned
| for Mr.. Hanna to get them.
Before the courts questions were asked
| the letter from Admiral Schley to Admiral
Sampson dated July 10, 1898, and accom-
panyfng dispatch were admitted in evil
denee. This letter stated that Admiral
Schley felt mortified at the account in the
American papers Of July 8, giving him
| credit for the victory.
After the letter had been read and ad-
| mitted Admiral Schley stated that Admiral
Sampson had accepted his letter and had
stated to him that he was very glad that
| he had sent him the telegram and letter
| He thought 1t was very generous" he
concluded.
Captain Parker: ION whose part?"
| Admiral Schley: "On my part, Of course"
Mr.. Rayner then told the admiral that he
would have chance to read over his tes-
| timony and If there was anything else he
decided to say, he suggested that it could be
| said later.
| The admiral replied that he was yery
tired and would take advantage of this
Capt. Parker asked him if he was Ill, and
| he replied. ION, no, not at all,'' but that
| he was simply worried by the cross-ques-
| tions.
| Admiral Dewey asked If the court ques-
| tions should be asked at this time, and the
admiral replied: "Oh, yes certainly"
Mr. Hanna then began reading the ques-
| tions of the court
| The first one was: When OF Santiago.
| could you see the shore so as to form a
! clear idea of the practicability Of making
| landing? A. Yes.
@. Was there any reason why you could
not have sent boat near shore to obtain
| information from fishermen or other per-
| sons? A. There were no fishermen along
| that route There were no boats.
The Hood and Wood Conversations.
@. Lieut.. Hood testified very positively to
| a conversation you had with him at Cien-
| fuegos. Can you say that no such CONVEX
sation took place? A. I stated under a
mistake that 1t was Lieut.. Wood the names
| being so near, but what I said Of him ap-
plies to Lieut.. Hood. 1 cannot recall one
| single word Mr.. Hood said to me or any
| conversation 1 had with him. I have no
| recollection whatever of It.
@. Had Admiral Cervera left Santiago for
some point to the westward at the same
time you left Cienfuegos could not his
squadron have passed between your ships
and the shore without being seen by you?
A If 1t had been night, perhaps. yes. In
the day time, l think rot
@. What was your reason for going over
twenty miles to the south of Santiago in
stead of nearing the harbor's mouth? A.
Because laid q course for that point. sup
Evening star., 1901-10-30


y. How far off? A. 1 should say GER
talnly not more than 1000 yards
Q: What alternative course had you that
could have been pursued by the vessels of
our fleet? A. There was nothing else to do
except to chase them in the proper wav
@. Nothing to do but chase? A. Thai 10
the case In any battle when people start to
run.
@. Was that the case in this battle?
Yes.
Q. want to ask whether there was anv
vessel Of the fleet there present prepared
to chase that did not do SO? A. think
there were several that did not chase he
cause they could not.
Q. That would not fall within the seope
OF the question? A. l only know that be-
yond the destruction of the Ouuendo and
Teresa there was no one who could keen
up with the Oregon and Brooklyn
The judge advocate handed the witness
copy of the report written by him de-
scriptive of the battle dated July 6. 1898
and read a portion Of 1t.
y. There Is certain testimony before this
court which indicates that before the
hard aport she had been swinging with her
port helm. A. Once or twice. or perhaps
more. the helm was put to starboard and
port In order to meet the supposed changes
in the squadron.
Q. The Texas. Iowa and Oregon report
| ranges of 1900 yards or above at the time
you say you were 1000 yards Of the Wis.,
caya These conditions are not consistent
are they? A. I do not know what thev
| reported. l only know what we measured.
Q. How measured? A. BY the stadimeter
q. Could you not tell by the way the
Texas ran whether she was backing one
| engine or not? A. We were too far away
I never heard OF the Texas incident until
| six months after the battle had been con-
cluded.
The witness was questioned in regard to
| the danger of being rammed by the Wis.
caya- He recollected that he had told
| Capt. Cook to look out for torpedo boats
and he recalled the order Stand by to
| RAM" This was some moments before thew
made the turn. The second attempt OF the
Viscaya to ram the Brooklyn was after the
| turn had been made. In his Judgment the
Viscaya was not more than 900 yards dis
| tant when his flag lieutenant reminded him
| of that distance and said they were ap-
| preaching the tactical diameter of the yes
| sci. At that time the stadimeter Indicated
| 900 yards.
colloquy occurred between the Judge
| advocate and Capt. Parker when the for.
! mer read from the appendix from letter
| Of the admiral of June 13, 1900 describing
| the events of the battle. Capt Parker
| said that they preferred to have the orig.
| inal read If they could get 1t. The judge
advocate, turning to counsel said: ..sit
| down. think the court understands that
| we have simply misiaid the original and
