SEEKS A NEW CHARTER
DRAFT PREPARED FOR HoMEo-
PATHIC HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION.
Meeting of Directors Held Last Night
-Dr. StOddard's Suit Against
the Institution.

At a meeting OF the directors OF the Ma
tionai Homeopathic Hospital Association OF
Washington, ID. c., held last night in the
red parlor OF the Ebbitt House, new char
ter was agreed upon. The twenty-year
charter of the institution expired June /
last. and until last night no steps were
taken to renew 1t. The new charter was
drawn and submitted by Attorney A. A..
Birney, who is member OF the old board
OF trustees Under the provisions OF the
new document the name of the institution
Is changed to the National Homeopathic
Association OF the District of Columbia
The trustees for the first year are DIR.
Ralph Jenkins DR.. T. L. Macdonald, Chas.
b. Bailey, Henry Wells. Charles Lyman.
Mrs. John B. Wight, James G. Hill. Mrs.
A A Birney.
The maintenance of the institution was
provided for by Congress at the last session
to the extent of an 5000 appropriation.
This. however. is made payable to the in
sttution under the old name. and an inter-
esting question has developed as to whether
the authorities of the District will consider
the funds available to an Institution under
entirely new charter, which designates
the institution by another name.
There is also a suit at law pending
against the institution brought by its for
mer assistant resident physician, DIR. lie
dard resigned from the medical staff of
the hospital June 1 last. Shortly there
after he applied, under the regula tions of
the institution to have pay patient ad-
mitted. with the right of treating the pa
tient himself. His application was denied
by the new medical staff of the hospital,
with the written explanation to him that
the reasons which prompted the board Of
trustees to accept his resignation also op-
Grated in their refusal to allow him to at
tend patients in the institution. Under the
terms of the old charter of the hospital
there is provision allowing any physi-
tients admitted to the hospital with the
privilege Of attending them. and this is the
ground on which DIR. Stoddard has brought
suit.
At the time DR.. Stoddards appica ton
was made the charter had expired, and 1t
Is an expressed legal opinion that If the
hospital authorities claim this as their au-
thority for not admitting his patient. the
same ruling will also operate to cut the
institution off from the appropriation made
by Congress to the old institution.
The suit of DR.. Stoddard was continued
last Monday at the request of Mr.. Birney,
who represents the defense. Mr.. Birney
stated to the court that he was compelled
to leave the city for month or longer. and
the case will not be called until he returns
Mr.. Birney. i'm discussing the appropria-
tfOn and the new charter, said to a Star
reporter today that there was not the
slightest doubt in his mind that the money
would be paid by the District without hes
itancy. 1t was precisely the same institu-
ton, he said, and had the same trustees
The mere fact of a slight change in the
title he thought would have no effect.

Weather Inclined to he Anything but
SeaSOnabIe,

Last night Washingtonians snuggled un-
der blankets. 1t was sensation. These
articles OF covering which had been hid
den from view and banished completely
from the minds of humanity utterly
without use in the world during the past
few weeks Of humidity and heat, were well
coined as old friends.
That the weather has standing contract
to be everything but seasonable has been
demonstrated without doubt. Along the
whole Atlantic coast the official statement
comes that the thermometer is registering
below the seasonal average" In striking
contrast to the report which came from the
weather bureau in this city thirteen days
ago, when 102 degrees was recorded, Is
the record at o'clock today. when the
mercury stands at 20.
At midnight 1t was 60. and from IT, at
time until o clock this morning there was
no variation. The change is most accept
able however. and should the mercury de-
eide to shrink to zero. so delighted would
humanity feel at the relief from the torrid
spell that people would wear smiling faces
and shirt waists, just to show their appre-
ciation.
Although the rain is to continue tonight.
according to the official forecast today
1t will also be warmer. But warmer this
time Is only a relative term. and does not
necessarily mean hot. 1t can be several
degrees warmer than It is today and still
be very comfortable. The conclusion Is,
therefore, that should the weather bureau
be right, Sunday will be an ideal day in
WASHINGTON.

RECEIPTS ARE LARGE
SURPRISE AMONG TREASURY Of
FICIALS AT THEIR SHOWING,

Nearly half of the first month Of the new
fiscal year has possed over. and there is
surprise among treasury officials that the
receipts continue to show up so WELL The
expectation has been general that the
amendments to the war revenue act would
cause a falling Off in receipts from the
very beginning Of the year. When this
expectation did not materialize for the first
few days. and internal revenue receipts
continued to show up well. many reasons
were given. the principal one being that
tobacco and beer men and others paying
the war tax had allowed their stock Of
stamps to run down and had bought heay-
lily of the new stamps at the beginning Of
the present fiscal year.
It is still claimed that this Is the reason
for the revenue receipts holding their own
but the sanguine people point to the fact
that the internal revenue receipts are run
ming right along with those OF last year
day by day.
Internal Revenue Receipts.
The internal revenue receipts so far this
month have been $13, ,249. 758, while for the
same period last year the collections were
SSH. .331 ,O39, showing an increase for this
year up to date.
by a days figures. however, and not much
can be told as to what decrease II any,
the amended law will show before month
at least. and most likely two or three
months. Although stamp buyers might
have been purchasing rather heavily the
first part of the month It is not likely that
they would continue that steadily through
the month, so the end Of July ought to
show a decrease in internal revenue re-
ceipts from last year Of not less than
81, 900 900, allowing for the general increase
in the regular and war taxes that is to
be expected with each fiscal year.
Expenditures This Month.
The total treasury receipts from all
sources so far this month have been $23.-
226.044. and the expenditures $28 8175.OOO.
against receipts of $21, ,4O2. .O21 for the same
period last year and expenses of $26 14O, 900.
The expenditures during the first two
months of each fiscal year are always
heavy owing to the demands of the de-
partmentS
