Mr.. ROSS ILLNESS
HOLDS UP BUSINESS
$3.50 FOR A PIANO.
Mrs. Inghan Receivers for Loss in
Warehouse Fire.

In her suit against the George W
Knox Company to recover $500 as dam
ages for the loss of a piano, which was
destroyed by fire at its warehouses on
March 4, 1901, Mrs. Martha Ingham was
awarded $3.50.
The trial of the case. which took place
before Justice of the Peace Bun1y, was
more than ordinarily interesting and
occupied the attention of the court for
several days. The plaintiff was repre-
sented by Attorney George P. Hoover
end the Knox Company by Mr.. ]. J.
Darlington. When Justice Bun5y an
nounced his decision Mr.. Darlington
gave notice that he will take an appeal
to the higher court.
The circumstances under which the
piano was lost to her. as stated by Mrs.
lngham. are substantially as follows:
On March 90. 1900. she shipped the
piano from Boston to this city II ar
rived here the next dsy. and, as 1t was
not claimed By Mrs. Ingham. the rail-
road company placed 1t in storage with
the Knox Company.
A few days later Mrs. Ingham paid
.he freight charges and. taking the re-
ceipt. went to the office of the Knox
Company and asked II the piano we're
there. She was informed tha. 1t was In
storage. and stated that she desired 1t
10 remain there. provided 1t was in
sured. Mrs. Ingham claims that an
agent of the Knox Company informed
her that the piano was insured. She was
also Informed that the charges were
S1.50 per month.
Mrs. Tngham also states that after
the fire, when she called upon the Knox
Company in reference 10 the piano. she
was advised by one of It's agents to
make a claim against the railroad COM
pany for her loss.

MUST PAY TAX ON
AUTOMATIC MACHINES
Opinion of Corporation
Counsel Duvall.
Opinion Rendered Yesterday at Request
of the District Com
missioners.

The District Commissioners yesterday
received from Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the
Corporation Counsel, an opinion upor
the request for information from the AS
SCISSOR whether under paragraph 29 oi
section Z of the act of Congress ap-
proved July 1, 1902. license tax should
be imposed upon slot machines where
merchandise is delivered to the custo-
mer automatically upon the deposit of
money. He also asked whether such a
tax is due under said paragraph for lift
ing machines, weighing machines, etc,
each of which become operative auto
matlcaIly on the deposit OF money.
Mr.. Duvall cites the language of the
section referred to as follows:
Language of Section.
'Tha, proprietors or owners of slot
or automatic machines. so called. tele-
phones excepted, by which objects, pic
lures. or figures are presented to the
public view. or musical, or vocal ex-
hibltions are automati ally given on the
deposit of money or metal, or where a
pecuniary consideration is received for
the use of said apparatus or machines,
shall pay license tay of 50 per annum
for each machine or apparatus"
The Assessor suggests" says Mr..
Duvall, that the clause, or where a
pecuniary consideration is received for
the use of said apparatus may apply to
other machiens than those indicated in
the words of the paragraph.
Mr.. Duvall's Opinion.
II am unable to see how this clause
can fairly be held to enlarge the scope
OF the paragraph. for 1t refers TO the
apparatus or machines mentioned in the
first part Of said paragraph; and am.
therefore. Of the opinion that the IL
cense tax is demandable under said
paragraph only for slot or automatic
machines of the class or character de-
scribed therein"

GROUND BROKEN FOR
new ENGINE HOUSE
Congress Heights Celebrates
the Occasion
Veteran of Mexican War Cuts the First
Sod-Colonel Randle Eulogizes the
District Commissioners.

Contractor Dunn has broken ground
for the new engine house on Congress
Heights. The occasion was seized upon
by Col. A. E. Randle, sometimes called
Che Mayor OF Congress Heights" for
one of his characteristic celebrations.
BY special invitation. Mr.. Thomas
Dennis, a veteran of the Mexican war,
was present, and Colonel Randle as
signed 20 him the task of cutting the
first sod. Mr.. Dennis lost both arms
through the premature discharge OF a
cannon at Gibraltar while engaged in
firing a salute to Prince Demedorff Of
Russia in 1S47.
Mr. Dennis. at signal from Colonel
Randle, placed the handle of the spade
under the stump of one arm, and.
grasping the handle with the pair OF
pliers attached to the stump of the
other. cut the sod and lifted 1t out
upon the green sward beside the lines
marked for the trench.
District Commissioners Eulogized.
Colonel Randle In a few remarks to
those who had gathered to witness the
proceedings congratulated the people of
the Heights upon the prospect of hav-
ing fire protection in the near future
and upon the capable administration OF
District affairs under the present Board
OF Commissioners.
He said in part:
If Commissioners John W. Ross, H.
B. F. Macfarland. and John Biddle were
elected instead OF appointed there would
be hurrahs for them from every quar-
ter Of the District because OF their sue
cess In securing so large an appropria-
ton for the needs of the citizens. The
Commissioners ;abored hard to get these
appropriations. but under our peculiar
form OF government the people are
undemonstrative. They fully appreciate
the work Of the Commissioners, never
theless'
Colonel Randle referred to the serious
illness of Commissioner Ross, and de-
clared that he was beloved more than
any other public man In the District OF
Columbia.
Provided for by Appropriation.
The Congress Heights engine house.
which. when completed. will shelter one
OF the best modern chemical engines,
was provided for in the District ap-
preparation bill of the last fiscal year.
The sum of $4,000 was appropriated to
erect the building and buy the furniture
and apparatus.
Colonel Randle donated the site sew
eral months ago. Work upon the build
ing was delayed on account of the pres
sure upon the office OF the Inspector OF
Buildings. which did not permit of the
completion OF the plans until a few
weeks ago.
Colonel Randle has been ildefatigable
in his efforts to hasten the plans and
ID get the work started.
Under the new appointments in the
District Fire Department, the men for
the new company have been placed in
training, and when 1t becomes neces-
sary to place the company in commits
sion the complement OF men will be at
hand. The apparatus is under contract,
and will be ready before the building is
completed
Contractor Dunn expects TO have the
structure finished in order to enable
Colonel Randle to have a Christmas
celebration in 1t.

The Electrical Engineer has arranged
to test one OF the newly-perfected Nernst
incandescent lights at the corner Of
Massachusetts, Avenue and Sixteenth
Street northwest, with view to its
adoption for street lighting purposes.
II the proposed light meets all the re-
quirements OF a practical test, 1t will
enable the department to economize con-
siderably in the matter OF electric cur
rent to feed the lights. The lamp in
question is an incandescent lamp with
about the power of an arc lamp but
gives a milder light, said to be the
nearest approach to daylight of anything
so far invented.
