to the war in Samar was based upon orders
issued from Washington, and requesting
the transmission of all orders issued from
Washington relative to the suppression of
the instruction in Samar.
Representative Conry Of Massa chusetts

information along the same lines 1t asked
the Secretary of War for information as to
whether Gen. Smith. in issuing the alleged

Burleson resolution and agreed to report
the enacting clause favorably. This clause
reads:
THAT the Secretary Of War, IL not in
compatible with the public interest, be- and
he is hereby, requested to furnish to the

PERSONAL TAX LAW.
Resolution Introduced by Mr.. Cannon
This Afternoon.

A resolution was introduced in the House
appropriations committee which will make
it in order to provide personal tax law for
the District of Columbia on the District
appropriation bill.
The resolution was hurried to the govern
ment printing office, as it is the intention
to have it considered tomorrow by the COM
mittee on rules When Mr.. Cannon was
asked what his plan was in the direction of
legisating a personal tax law on the appro-
priation bill he said:
If this rule is adopted by the House it
will make it in order to legislate on the Dis
trict bill on the subject of local taxation
and will place the whole matter directly in
the hands of the House.
The people of the United States or some
of them" continued Mr.. Cannon, ARE won
derfully anxious to, in the twinkling of an
the capital of the whole country from
their standpoint.
IF this is done 1t will have to be done
largely a the expense of the United States
treasury, and properly SO. At the same
time 1t is done very considerable amount
of work will have to be done that equita-
bly, ought to be borne partly by the Dis
the revenues Of the District are, under ex-
listing law and practice, inadequate to
meet the expenditures And without refer
ence to the grand plan and for the i'm
mediate future the real wants and necess-
ties of the District of Columbia they are
also inadequate. Therefore, there ought to
be provision made for additional revenues
and to do this the quickest and best way
is to put the matter directly into the hands
of the House."

FOR BOND ISSUE.
Mr.. Heitfeld Introduces an Amend
ment to District Bill

The following amendment to Senate bill
1861, to regulate the assessment and col
lection of personal taxes in the District of
Columbia, has been introduced by Mr.. Heit-
field.
THE Secretary of the Treasury is hereby
authorized to issue from time TO time bonds
of the United States to the amount not to
exceed s15,00O,000. the said issue to be
known as the District of Columbia loan of
1902, and to use the proceeds thereof as
hereafter provided. Said bonds shall con-
stitute an additional issue of bonds under
section IL of the act of March IA 1900, and
shall be bonds of the kind described in said
section, bearing interest at the rate of 2
per cent per annum, and the purchaser of
such bonds shall be entitled to all the priv
leges specified in section II of said act;
said bonds not to be issued and sold at less
than par and to be issued and sold after
competitive bids have been received by the
Secretary of the Treasury for the purchase
of the same.
Sec. ?. That the Secretary of the Treas
ury. either directly or through the Commits
sioners of the District Of Columbia shall
use the proceeds Of the issue and sale of
the bonds aforesaid for the following pur-
poses: First, to pay any ascertained and
overdue Indebtedness of the District at
any time existing, not otherwise provided
Tor; second, to pay any expenditure of the
District authorized and required to be in
public Improvements or other purposes
And all sums of money paid out in pur-
suance of this section shall constitute an
Indebtedness from the District of Columbia
to the United States, to be reimbursed with
not exceeding two per centum interest
thereon, payable quarterly by the District
into the Treasury of the United States But
nothing herein contained shall be construed
to affect any of the provisions of section 3
OF the act of June II, 1873 under which
congress Is bound to appropriate so per
centum of the expenditures made to defray
the expenses of the government of the Dis
trict."
The personal tax bill fight has now been
definitely transferred from the Senate to
the House Of Representatives. 1t is no
longer the intention of the Senate commit
tee on the District Of Columbia to press the
consideration of it's personal tax bill upon
the Senate. Now that the matter has been
taken up by the House the committee will
wait for some action on a personal tax
bill by that body before 1t again considers
the subject.

c. o. SELF DISMISSED.
Refused to Testify Against His Former
Chief


c. o. Self, a clerk in the Office Of the
commissioner Of internal revenue, has been
dismissed from his position by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury for refusing to answer
questions put to him by the civil service
commission, Some time ago charges were
preferred before the commission against
ex-Collectorl Henry of the seventh internal
revenue district of Indiana These charges
were that Mr.. Henry had levied contribu-
tions for political purposes on the federal
employees under him and that he had col
lected funds for use in his own campaign
for reappointment to his office.
Mr.. Self was one of the witnesses sum-
moned by the civil service commission in
this case. He had been a deputy collector
under Mr.. Henry, butrhad been transferred
to the Treasury Department in this city.
Mr.. Self proved to be, SO the civil service
commission claims. a very unwilling wit
ness, and refused point-blank to answer
several questions. One Of these questions
was whether he. knew that any money had
been paid to Mr.. Henry. Mr.. Self refused
to answer this question and several other
questions along the same line.
The civil service commission preferred
charges against Mr.. Self and forwarded
them to the White House. The President
in turn referred the charges to the Treas
ury Department, with the request that Mr..
Self be asked for an explanation of his
conduct. The investigation of Mr.. Sells
case took the regular form of charges
against him by the Treasury Department,
and he submitted statement in answer to
these charges.
The civil service commission Gid not con-
slider his statement a justification of his
violation of the civil service laws requiring
testimony in cases. and recommended his
dismissal 1t Is stated at the Treasury De-
partment that Mr. Self is q competent man
and that he was Influenced largely in his
course by the fact that he had been the
deputy under Mr.. Henry, and did not feel
like giving testimony against his former
chief.
The matter has excited good deal of in
terest and attention. There is no appeal
for Mr.. Self and he will submit to the YER
dict of the Treasury Department

to Board Of Visitors at St.
Elizabeth's

DR.. G. L. Magruder has been appointed
to the vacancy Of the Board Of Visitors to
the Government Hospital for the Insane
caused by the death Of the late w. w.
Johnston. A strong effort was made to Sc
cure for the institution the benefit Of the med
ical experience and scientific and sanitary
knowledge possessed by DIR. G. NJ Kober as
a member of the board: but the appointment
Of DR.. Sellhausen to that position was de-
manded by Senator Plat Of New York, and
1t Is understood that the appointment of
DR.. Magruder was accepted or suggested by
him as compromise.
Dr. Magruder is graduate of the medical
department Of Georgetown University, and
mas been connected with the faculty Of
that institution almost since his graduation
noiolng various chairs until he became
dean or the faculty, which position he oc-
cupied Tor many years He has been In

his medical skill Is highly regarded nv his
professional associates
He has paid particular attention to mat
tiers In regard to sanitation and has an
peared before committees of Congress TO
urge propositions that would benefit local
institutions In that respect. On the death
OF DR.. Johnston Dr. Magruder was made

Decides to Contest for Grant
Memorial.
REACHES TOWN TODAY
ONLY COMPLAINT THAT TIME IS
TOO SHORT.
Declares That More is Exacted Of Him
Than His Competitor,
Mr.. Shrady.

Mr.. Charles Henry Niehaus will compete
with Mr.. Henry Merwyn Shrady for the
statue that will be erected by the govern
ment of the United States in memory of
Gen. Ulysses Grant.
Two weeks ago the advisory committee,
acting in conjunction with the Grant me-
mortal commission, declared that the mod
els submitted by Mr.. Shrady and Mr.. Me
haus were the most meritorious.
Mr.. Shrady's design was declared to be
first in intrinsic merit and best adapted to
the site indicated, on the axis of the White
House, or what is known as the white
Lot"
The committee found that the design
submitted by Mr.. Niehaus who had as his
associate Mr.. Henry Bacon, as architect,
to be second in merit.
Some Doubt at First.
There came from New York, shortly fol-
lowing the announcement of the decision
or the advisory committee, the report that
Mr.. N1ehaus would not enter into a further
competition giving as his reasons that he
had all the work he could do, and that the
only thing he could expect was the honor
that would come from being the winner.
Mr.. Niehaus was in Washington through
out the time that the models In competition
were on exhibition. Mr.. Shrady was not
present during the exhibition, but he was
represented by a man who had been in his
employ and who is well known as an art
connoisSeiur.
The appearance in Washington of Mr..
Niehaus this afternoon gave rise to the
rumor that he had reconsidered his deter
mlnatlon not to enter for the final compe-
titlon. There was no doubt, it is said, that
he had declared to his friends that lie did
not care to re-enter a competition.
Since the competition was closed Mr.
Niehaus. with Mrs. Niehaus. has been
spending vacation at the latter's hcne in
Memphis, Tenn. He has returned feeling
much better in health and is resolved to re-
enter the contest.
There is only one thing that may possibly
stand in the way of Mr.. Niehaus' compe-
tition. and that is. that the designs are re-
CURED by the list day of July, and that
gives very little time to perform the work
Will Enter Just the Same.
Il have three figures and horse to COM
plete,' Mr.. Niehaus said to an Evening Star
reporter this afternoon, while Mr.. Shrady
has only one horse and rider. l have
talked with several of my friends, and 1
have decided to make the designs, although
l realize that the time Is very much too
short to do it in
1T was not until arrived today that
learned that there had been conference at
Col. Bingham's office on April 3d. and that
the competing models were required by July
l. shall try to comply with the require
ments."
Accompanying Mr.. and Mrs. Niehaus
was Mr.. T. c. Campbell, a weIl-known New
York lawyer, who formerly lived in Cincin-
ntai. which is Mr.. Niehaus' old home. Mr..
Niehaus will go direct from Washington to
task of preparing the models for the Grant
commission.

MINISTER HART EXPLAINS.

While in Washington few days ago on
his way to his home in West Virginia Mr..
Hart, the United States minister to Bogota,
seized the opportunity to explain to off,
Gals here the facts which have formed the
basis OF certain charges preferred against
him by individuals in Colombia 1t ap-
pears that a merchant named GARLIC al
legged that Minister Harris son, who is in
business in Bogota, had awaited himself of
the exemption from duty of the ministerial
mail pouch to bring in goods. This charge,
however. has been formally withdrawn by
the maker. Then Mr.. Harris landlord pre-
ferred a claim for damages done to his
property when vacated by the minister.
The minister regarded the charge as extor-
tionate. though he professed his willingness
to pay just damages If any had been done
The Colombian government did not adopt
these charges as its own. nor did it de-
clare the minister persona non grata, as
has been published. Ii simply, through
former Minister Silva, submitted to the
State Department the various allegations
in these matters. as matter of informa-
ton, leaving the department perfectly free
TO act as it saw fit. Mr.. Harris explanation
is believed to have been satisfactory.
