ALLEGED PENSION FRAUD.
Charles Hayman, Colored, Charged With
Giving a False Certificate.

Charles Hayman, colored. was arrested
and lodged at No. / station last night,
charged with violation Of the United
States pension law. Albert w Roome,
special pension agent, made the arrest,
which took place at Zieman's saloon,
Tenth and T Streets, where Hayman was
employed as a waiter. The prisoner says
the charge is all a mistake.
The case appears to hinge on what is
alleged to have been a false affidavit,
made by a woman named Selby, in favor
of Hayman. The latter, whose home is at
Az Washington Street northwest, claims
that the woman became incensed at him
for some reason, and then proceeded to
denOunce him to the authorities. Hay
man alleges the Selby woman swore to
the affidavit as to his birth. age, charac-
ter and residence, signing his own name
ana declaring herself to be a sister of the
petitioner. Afterward, it is alleged, the
woman gave her name as Selby, so that
the authorities brought proceedings
against the prisoner, charging alleged
fraud.
Hayman says he enlisted in the Twen-
ty-fourth Regular Infantry during the
Spanish American war. He has been in
Washington two years, coming here from
Loudoun County, Va, where his relatives
now live.

FITCHIE ALSO TO GO
Chief Executive and Secretary Shaw Dis
satisfied With Workings of the Immi-
grafton Department - Chickering'S and
Squabbes Must Stop.

Mr. Thomas Fitchie, commissioner of
immigration at the port of New York had
talk with President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Shaw and Assistant Secretary Tay-
1or OF the Treasury yesterday afternoon.
He came to Washington for the purpose
of discussing the administration of his
office and his own chances of retention in
the service
The President told Mr. Fitchie frankly
that he had determined to appoint his
successor at an early date and he added
that the deputy commissioner at New
York, Mr., Sweeny, would also be super
seeded, and that as soon possible he
would find a successor to Commissioner
General Powderly.
MIR. Fitchie told the President that if
the administration of immigration affairs
at New York was at fault it was not
through any intent of his own to do any
wrong. Such abuses as may exist in the
immigration service at the principal port
of the country, he said. were not due TO
any fault of his. He had given his best
efforts for a clean and honest admins
tration.
Too Much Friction.
President Roosevelt did not discuss with
him the details of the ng-standing COM
plants made against the New York in
migration Office, but declared that the
constant friction between officials and the
talk of corruption in office could no long
er be endured. He was determined. he
said, to make radical changes in the per-
sonnel of the service.
Commissioner Fitchie had a similar talk
with Secretary Shaw. The Secretary told
him that although he had been at the
head of the Treasury only 4 short time
he was dissatisfied with the conditions ap-
parently existing in the immigration SER
vice. He was inclined to believe that
Mr.. Fitchie had striven to give a salts
factory administration. but the matter
was in the hands of the President, and he |
was not inclined to make any recommen- !
dation in Commissioner Fitchie's behalf |
Mr.. Fitchie's retirement is the result
of the recent investigation at Ellis Is
land, n. Y. where the caretaking of the |
immigrants is said to have been grossly !
irregular Several minor officials were !
removed from their positions
While their offences were not such as !
merited summary dismissal. they were |
detrimental to good discipline and eff /
cheney, and Mr.. Fitchie was held culpable !
not because he had been party to the I!
Irregularities, but because he was igno- |
rant of them.
Mr.. Gage, when he was Secretary of the !
Treasury, and Mr.. Roosevelt both held |
the opinion that Mr.. Fitchie should have
known of and prevented the abuses preva-
lent at the Ellis Island Station.

Was at One Time Exempt.

up to and including the year 1894 the
above described property was listed as
church property, and was exempt from
taxation. The records of transfers show
conveyance dated November 4. 1882.
from William NJ Bramhall to Allen C.
Clark, Colored Baptist Church. but the
records fail to show by what authority
this conveyance was made, and it is pre-
sumed therefore to be Irregular. as the
title was not vested in said Bramhall. and
should have remained in the names of the
trustees.
During the latter part of the year
1894 the property was abandoned for
church purposes, and listed as taxable
for the year 1895, and has so remained
up to the present date. The taxes are
unpaid for years 1895. 1896. 1897, 1900,
1901, 1902, and outstanding tax sale certifi-
cate, April, 1899, for tax sale of 1898 and
April, 1900, for tax of 1899 By deed re-
corded this date, Allen G.. Clark has exc
cuted quit claim to the rightful owners.
Trustees to Blame.
After a careful review of the facts in
this case it would appear the trustees
failed through their own neglect to pay
the taxes. as they were aware no deed
had passed from them 70 any oEs, and if
it was assessed to the wrong name, the
attention of the office, should have been
directed to the same long since, and they
should not have allowed the matter to
slumber. There is no apparent reason for
abatement of the penalties in this case,
as the act OF February Is. 1902. TO re-
ceive arrearages OF taxes at per cent
per annum, affords ample relief. The case
is submitted with an adverse recon-
mendation.''
Commissioner J. ". Ross, in charge of
tax matters. has approved the action of
the acting assessor. T.
