DR.. Fardon's Protest Against Sale of Lot
Is Sustained.

Mr.. E. G., Davis. Collector Of Taxes. re-
Gently transmitted to the District Com
missioners a letter from DIR. A. P. Far
don who protested against the advertise
ment and sale of lot 9. block 3. Washing
ton Heights. and requested that the ques-
tion be referred to the City Solicitor for

The Special Assessment Clerk, Mr.. j.
W. Daniel, in reporting upon the matter.
stated that the assessment was levied
under the act of February %, 1899, which
provided that when confirmed by the
court. the assessments shall severally be
lien upon the land assessed. and shall
be collected as special Improvement taxes
in the District, and shall be payable in
five equal installments, with interest at
the rate of 4 Per cent per annum, until
paid
Mr.. A. B. Duvall the City Solicitor. has
before rendered a decision upon the sub
ject. stating that the words five INSTALL
ments" mean five equal annual install
mentS.
IF this view is correct" stated Mr.
Daniel. only two installments have ma
tured. and it seems but reasonable to in
fer that payment of them would exempt
the property from sale next month. The
advertisement is made under that portion
of the aforementioned section OF the act
which provides that the assessments shall
be collected as special Improvement taxes
in the District OF Columbia
Mr. DuvaIl yesterday notified the Com
missioners that he held the same cpin-
ion as that expressed by the Assistant

Solicitor Duvail.

Mr.. A. B. Duvall. the City Solicitor. has
sent TO the District Commissioners an
opinion in reply 10 the suggestion Of
Judge /. G. Kimball. of the rolice Court.
that section s27 of the code be amended SO
as to provide for restitution of stolen
goods recovered in larceny cases.
Mr.. Duvall states that restitution in
such eases was provided for in section
1113 of the revised statutes OF the Dis
trict. and he states that he agrees with
Judge kimball as to the amendment of
the code. Mr.. Duvall suggests that the
amendment could be appropriately ac-
conpIished by adding to section SCI of
the code the following:
And in all convictions for larceny.
either grand or petit. the trial justice
may in his sound discretion order restitu-
tiol to be made of the value of the money
or property shown to have been stolen
by the person convicted and made way

STUBBORN Fight IN
ANPI-SN0EE LAW Case CASE
Trial of Mr.. Lindley Sinclair
Still in Progress.
CONVENTIONS OF COUNSEL
Judge Cole, Appearing for Defendant, At
tacks Constitutionality of Law. on the
Ground That Compliance With 1t Is
Physical Impossibility.

The trial OF the case of Mr.. Lindley z.
Sinclair. superintendent and general man
ager of the Washington Traction and
Electric Company. charged with violating
the anti-smoke law at the plant Of the
United States Electric Lighting Company.
which is part of the first named eorpor-
alton. is still In progress in the District
branch Of the Police Court.
The case is being stubbornly fought by
Judge C. c. Cole. who appears as counsel
for Mr.. Sinclair. Judge Cole contends
that the defendant is not the occupant of
the premises described. nor agent in con-
troll of the furnace of the plant
Compliance Physical Impossibility.
Judge Cole further contends that com
pliance with the anti-smoke law is a
physical impossibiiity, and therefore I'M
constitutional. and is eneregticaIiy COM
cry point
Yesterday Judge Cole endeavored to
show by Mr.. James B. Lackey, secretary
OF the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. just what authority Mr.. Sinclair
possessed in the operation Of the United
States Electric Lighting Company's plant.
His purpose was to show that Mr.. Sin
clair was not the controlling agent Of The
concern. and therefore was not resDon-
sibIe for the smoke complained about.
Contention of City Solicitor.
Mr.. Edward H. Thomas, Assistant City
Solicitor. contended that under the de-
cision OF the Court OF Appeals all the
Government had to do was to establish
on this point whether Mr.. Sinclair
had an agency in the control of the pur-
chase of fuel and the management of the
furnace of the plant. This. he argued. had
been clearly shown. and it was not in
cumbent upon the prosecution TO identify
Mr.. Sinclair as the controlling agent
Judge Anson s. Taylor appeared in
court and stated that he desired to with
draw demand for a jury trial in the
case of Charles F. Hood. charged with
the anti-smoke law at the Pa
ciic Building. and pay a BE. As it was
Mr. Hoods first time in court he was
fined but 80.
