PRESIDENT WANTS STATEMENT.
Letter Received From Him by the
Government Claim Association.

Letter Received From Him by the
Government Claim Association.
The Government Claim Association held
an enthusiastic meeting at its headquar-
tiers, 4OS South Capitol Street, last night.
A letter from President Roosevelt re-
questing James W. Poe to furnish state
ment Of the nature of the matter that
the organization desired him to consider
was read.
Resolutions were adopted requesting
the Attorney General to state whether
the Constitution authorized the raising
Of revenue for Federal purposes in any
other way than by measure originating
in the House of Representatives, and
whether the special order of the Secre-
tary Of War on May q, 1862, making a
reduction OF S. a month from the pay Of
certain Government employees to raise a
revenue to support a hospital for the sick
among them and to aid contrabands was
not in conflict with those provisions of
the Constitution that specify the way in
which all revenue must be raised.

the carpet in Ayres' room. as to the dis
tinctness OF their outlines
Mr. Gould wanted to know if they
showed any signs of smearing. This was
to strike a blow at the defeRee's theory
OF a struggle. and to prove the Govern
nent's argument that Ayres was shot
from distance.
Witness could not say whether he had
noticed any smearing or not.
Prof. Phelps Book.
Doctor. have you read Prof Phelps
latest work On gunsaot wounds. asked
Mr. Gould
NO. have not answered the witness
shortly. although know Prof Phelps
.-You dent think much of him. Ell. doc
tori" asked Mr.. Could, smoothly.
No, do not"
And yet the professor has very high
standing in the community. and IS regard
ed as an authority On such wounds. re-
marked Mr. Gould sorrowfully.
DR.. Carr made go reply
Experiments on Cadavers.
You mean to say" persisted the prose-
cutor. that any experiments Prof Phelps
made en- catavers would not be consid-
cred by you2'
Certainly not"
Questioned as to Powder Marks.
Witness was then probed by the Dis
trict Attorney as TO the powder marks Oh
Ayres- forearm
The Government was trying to disDrOve
the doctors statement that the bullet
travelling across the dead mans arm was
the one which lodged in the hip
Doctor, is it not fact that bullet
can be stopped by a piece OF cloth? You
know the sleeve of Ayres' shirt was hang
ing loosly,' remarked the District Attor-
ney-
I can stop bullet with a silk hand
kerchief. asserted the witness, but the
bullet was not stopped in this case by
the shirt sleeve because Of the angle at
which the revolver was directed"
Mr. Douglass said he wished 10 intro
duce several more photographs of models,
demonstrating how the wounds were in
ficted en- Ayres' chest and the outer side
Of his arm They we're allowed to go in
the record. but not TO go in as evidence.
DIR. Rovee on the stand
This ended Dr., Cars testimony and he
was followed On the stand BY his col
league. Dr.. J. Wesley Bovee. who said he
had been practicing surgery for sixteen
years and was at present surgeon al the
Providence. Columbia. and Columbian Uni
versity hospitals.
Witness said he participated in the
povder-mark experiments with Dr.. Carr
and gave practically the same testimony
as that expert.
Dr. Bovee announced with great posi-
tiveness that the marks on the forearm
Of the deceased we're made by the bullet
which lodged in the hip.
And not by any Of the bullets causing
the other wounds added the witness.
Give your reasons, doctor?' said Mr..
Douglass.
Again Mr- Gould Objects.
y object came back Mr. Gould with
his favorite remark. 1T is all matter
Of speculation, and besides why occupy all
this time? Why not let the witness say
his testimony is the same as Dr. Carr-s2"

position OF simply endorsing the views of

TO REFUND ovERPAID Taxes.
District to Return s11O.2a Paid on a
Conduit Road Tract.

The District government is about to
give up SHOPS for overpaid taxes on a
small tract of land on the Conduit Road
assessed in the name OF James ShugFue.
It appears that back in 1881 the tract was
surveyed and recorded as 1867 acres, and
on that survey the taxes we're paid from
1882 to 1901 inclusive
The fact was brought to the attention
Of the Commissioners recently that the
tract contains only 1855 acres, and that
an excess of $500 annually has been paid
in taxes for a period of nineteen years
4 report upon the matter from the Of
fee Of the. Assessor confirms the fact of
the payments, and Commissioner Ross
has forwarded the case to his colleagues
with a motion that the amount mentioned
be refunded.
