BORROWERS RELIEVED.
An Act of Congress Did the Business
Quietly

As sequel to the doing away of the last
Of the war revenue taxes. which was a
feature Of the legislation OF the last ses-
sion of Congress. is the relief afforded to all
who during the period of these war taxes
borrowed money on collaterals.
A ruling Of the internal revenue office was
made that all transactions involving the
delivery or transfer of securities to secure
the future payment of money were liable
10 this tax. This decision was contested by
stock brokers and other large borrowers of
money. and the collection of the tax was
deferred until an opinion could be obtained
from the Attorney General Pending such
a ruling Congress has RENTED all such
back taxes This was accomplished by a
clause inserted III the bill entitled, To pro-
vide for refunding taxes upon legacies and
bequests for uses OF a religious. charitable
or educational character" which was quiet
ly passed in the closing days of the session
The last section reads as follows:
That take which shall have accrued be-
fore the taking effect of the act of April H.
1902. entitled an act to repeal war revenue
taxation. and for other purposes and since
July i. 1900 upon securities delivered or
transferred TO secure the future payment of
money are hereby remitted"
The amount involved. ii is estimated. is
very large and the relief afforded by this
measure is appreciated by those who make
collateral loans

ALLEGED NUISANCE.
Resident Lodges Complaint Against a
Brass Band

Archie Upperman of 10l4 eth street south
west has written to the District Commits
sioners calling attention to an alleged null
sance which is being carried on in vacant
lot on the west side of It'll street between X
and l. streets southwest, in the shape OF a
brass band which plays from o'clock I'M
til after IL o'clock at night. A number Of
signers added their names to this letter.
They claim the nuisance should be discon-
tinued by the Commissioners. The perform
ance began on the 9th day of June and was
to have continued but two weeks, but the
compliments state it is still carried on and
is becoming steadily worse all the time.
The noise from the band makes it impos-
sible for the people in the neighborhood to
sleep, and as there is sickness in the COM
munity the condition of the invalid Is made
much worse by the constant noise at night
as well as by the disorderly conduct of the
crowd of loafers who loiter about the mu-
sic. Major Sylvester has recommended
that when the license expires 1t be not re-
newed. and that no license in the future
be issued for that place

said he enjoyed the confidence Of the Off
GERS and affection of the men of his com
mand: that the sword would never be drawn
except against an enemy of the country.
He paid generous tribute to the officers
and men OF his command, and said without

marched and starved and fought in the will
derness of Samar.
The sword Is gold mounted and handsome.

yard, and all the officers of the station, at
tended the presentation. The applause was

CUSSES HALF HOLIDAY.
Question Referred to Special Committee
President Announces Stand
ing Committees.

At the meeting OF the Central Labor
Union last evening the question Of the Sat
urday half holiday was a subject of dis
cussfon 1t was determined that If the At
torney General should decide that the
amended code 1egalizes a Saturday half
holiday the heads of the various depart
ments Of the government will be requested
not to discriminate as between per diem
mechanics and laborers and other employees
in the matter Of pay for the holiday.
1t was stated by a number of delegates
during the discussion that the regulations
Of the departments and the rulings of the
controller Of the treasury impose certain
conditions as necessary to entitle per diem
mechanics and laborerS not permanently
employed by the government to pay for
holidays which are not required of employees
in the various departments.
Because Of this discrimination. it Is
stated. the labor people are apprehensive
that If 1t is authoritatively decided that
under the amended code Saturday is a legal
holiday from u o'clock noon. and the de-
partments are closed and the employees paid
for that time, those employed by the
government. but not carried on the perma-
nent roll. will either be required to work
during the half holiday or be deprived Of
pay for that time.
Referred to Special Committee.
The matter was referred to a special COM
mittee composed of Milford Spohn, James
L. Feeney, John B. Dickman, Harry w.
Sherman and Fred Fletcher.
The application of the Association of Ma
rine Engineers for utilization with the Cen
trail Labor Union. which has been pending
i'll the body for several months, was Vfrtu-
ally disposed of by referring the matter to
the engineers organizations which are rep
resented in the Central Labor Union.

pital for the Insane. The hospital is situat
ed at the base of Catoctin Mountain, two

ment, where 80 insane persons were lodged.
These patients are from all parts of the

be bound and secured to the trees to pre-
vent them from running away
The sick were carried out on their cots
and placed under shady trees. The sight
was a piuful one, as some Of the afflicted
wept from fright at the sight of their castle
being destroyed. Others ragged and were
soothed with difficulty. Amid all the ex
element only two Of the inmates escaped
and they were recaptured and returned to
the asylum.

APPLICATION DENIED.
No Area in Front Of the Shoreham on
n Street.

Robert I. Fleming. representative of Levi
T. Morton of New York. has written to the
Commissioners requesting that the building
regulations be so amended as to permit Of
an area being constructed along the II
street front Of the Shoreham Hotel be-
tween 10Th and Vermont avenue
Extensive alterations and repairs are to be
made to the Shoreham this summer at a
cost of 100000, and an area on the H
street front is absolutely necessary, the
writer states, to provide light and vent.ia-
ton to the cellar and basement. The side
walk from curb to building line is seventeen
feet in width; tive-foot area would leave a
good clear twelve-foot sidewalk, such as Is
found, the writer states. on other streets in
the business sections of the city.
captain Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, has reported that
to grant this request it would be necessary
to modify the schedule Of building projec-
tons and also paragraph g, section 125 Of
the building regulations In view of a num-
Der of reasons expressed by Mr.. Snowden
Ashford, the building inspector. Captain
Harding has recommended that the appli-
cation be denied.
