APPROVE OF THE
Personal TAX BILL
Commissioners Report on
Senate Measure.
SAY ONE IS UNAVOIDABLE
Declare Funds Must Re Raised in
This Manner for District Needs
Amendments Made to Enlarge
Scope Of Proposed Law.

The District Commissioners yesterday
sent to the Senate Committee on the Dis
trict OF Columbia their report upon Bill
No. 1856, TO regulate the assessment
and collection OF personal taxes in the
District OF Columbia"
With the report are certain amend
ments suggested by the Commissioners
tending 10 enlarge the scope of the bill
and to inc. ease the number OF kinds OF
property to be taxed. The Commission
ers say:
Tax unnyoidabIc.
while many expressions of disap-
proval of any personal tax have been
made by citizens of the District whose
views are entitled to respect, after much
study of the subject the Commissioners
cannot avoid the conclusion that the en-
actment of a reasonable personal tax law
TO take the place of the one recently de-
clared invalid by the courts of the DIS
trict can hardly be avoided.
ITO provide the means for the erection
of District building. for the payment OF
the Districts share of the expense IN
the abolition of steam railroad cross
ipgs for water filtration and sewage dlS-
posal plants and for other projected I'M
provements a loan from the publ" or
an advance from the Federal Govern
ment will be required involving the pay
ment of annual interest and gradual
annual payment of the principal
Present Revenue insufficient.
For these important purposes more
than the amount OF revenue usually here
tofore required must be raised. and there
seems to be no mode more available or
eouitablc than that of subjecting all
tangible property to proper and falr
taxation.
Some landowners have advanced
the view that taxation connned wholly
to real estate invites investment in per-
sonaI estate to the detriment Of real
% estate values.
or -tnasmuch as personal property shares
in the protection and security afforded
by the municipal government, there
seems TO be no valid reason why 1t
should not bear its proportion of the ex-
pensa cf maintaining that government.

BEATTY MUST HANG.
Appeal OF the Preston County Murderer
Oyerruled by Supreme Court.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Mar. "a
The Supreme Court to-day con-
firmed the verdict of the jury find
ing J. Wesley Beatty, of Preston
county, guilty of the murder of his
brother-in-law, David Nine, about
eighteen months ego. The opinion
was delivered by Judge Poffenbar-
ger and destroyed Beatty's last
chance foi his life so far as the
courts are concerned.
Beatty's case is the most pitiful
that has been known in the State in
years. He is 90 year of age and
until the day of his awful crime he
bore the reputation of being an in
dustrious and peaceable citizen.
The crime was prompted by the
arrest of his son for stealing on
complaint OF his brother-in law,
David Nine.
After the arrest of his son Beatty
shouldered his shot gun and went to
Mines home. He found him at
work in the barn, and after few
passing words fred volley of shot
into Nine, causing almost instant
death.
The boy was confined in the pris-
on serving sentence for the theft
that will likely bring about his ia
theirs execution.

The law class evidently feels the
injustice to the reports which have
been published in a number of the
papers in other towns of the State.
They resent the idea that they have
been very disorderly and that they
have been guilty Of insulting their
professor. The statement they make
is given in an other column.
The above item is from the Nor
gantown Dominion and while the
reports published, may have been
exaggerated and partly incorrect,
there is no doubt but that the bows
have been unruly and cut up more
or less in the class room and ex
hibit but little respect for the Dean
OF the Law Faculty and should be
disciplined in some manner. 1t is
common talk about Morgantown the,
way the boys carry on and cut up
and we have talked with several
students themselves about il. so we
know what we are talking about
and if the boys don't want to be
criticised and called down, they
should behave themselves.

The above dispatch from Charles
ton shows that Beatty's last chance
is gone and that he will have to
hang. His attorney, Hon. p J.
Crogan, has given up all hope now,
as he has exha lsted every chance
and made every turn possible for
the unfortunate man, who was SEN
fenced to be hanged year ago last
month. Mr.. Crogan deserves great
credit for standing by his client to
the last ditch and arguing his case be-
fore the Circuit and Supreme Courts,
two Governors and the Pardon
Board, and spending much time and
effort, as well as money out of his
own pocket, trying to save his man,
and while he has failed in the end
he has given his man a year and
a half perhaps, longer lease of life.
1t depends on how soon now the
sentence of the Court will be car
ried out. 1t was expected that
Beatty would have to be brought
back here for re-sentence if the
Court decided against him, but this
ruling of the Court has been changed
during the past year, and he will
likely be resentenced by Judge Holt
at this term and another time fixed
for his execution, without taking
him from the Penitentiary, as this
was the case with George Carter,
the colored man, from Kanawha
county, who was hanged last Friday.
His case had been up before the
Supreme Court and his time for ex-
ecution delayed on reprieve from
the Governor and when il was
all up, the Prosecuting Attorney of
kanawha county called on Warden
Haddox of the Penitentiary 10 set
the time for Carriers execution.
This the Warden refused to do,
claiming that his duties are execu-
tive only and the question was ar
gued before the Supreme court,
that body unfolding the Warden in
his views, and Carter was then re-
sentenced by the Judge of the Kan
awha county Criminal Court, Carter
not being in court, and his friends
tried to take advantage of this fact
to secure further time for him.
As the above case was similar to
Beatty's the same course will likely
be pursued. Beatty's boy who stole
the cider and brought on the TRACE
dy, was sent TO the Pen for one year
and was rel ,ased and sent home last
DecembcI, where he has remained
since and behaved himself so far as
we can ascertain. Beatty never
seemed to have much hope himself,
and made arrangements with his at
torney to have his body brought
home and buried decently, as his
family had forsaken him and would
do nothing for him. This, and his
complete and sincere repentance
and sorrow for the deed, created
considerable sympathy for the poor
old fellow, in spite of the crime be-
ing a cold blooded murder, and
considering his age, it looks like a
life sentence would have been
enough punishment for him
