CRANK WITH PISTOL.
Wanted President to Relieve Him of
"Mesmerism Man"


A well-dressed young MAJ. giving his
name as Cary ]. McAl.ister and his
home at As Crawford Street, Newark, n.
J.. was a caller at the office OF Major
Sylvester yesterday. He had visited the
White House earlier in the morning
to see President Roosevelt. but the Of
ficers noting his peculiar manners re-
fused to admit him. and referred him
to the major of police.
He had any number Of grievances, and
claimed that persons were trying &c
mesmerize him. His talk was of such
a character that Major Sylvester es-
corted him to the Office of Sanitary Of
fcer Frank. The young man claimed to
have been employed in a carriage fac
tory in New York city, and said tina;
all OF his trouble had been caused by
the woman he loved going back on him.
due he thought to the actions OF a pro-
fcssor OF mesmerism, whom he said ne
would kill should he meet him. He said
- wanted ia have the President stop
this professor from worrying him.
After listening to his tale Officer
Frank decided that 1t would be best to
hold the man until his mental condition
could be examined into by the police
surgeons. He was informed of the pro-
posed action to be taken and was per-
tectly willing.
Have you anything about your per-
son before we lock you up?" asked S,hi-
tary Officer Frank.
''Oh, yes; I've got gun that ] have
carried for SIX months past in hopes OF
catching the mesmerism man." and the
stranger drew forth from his pocket a
revolver loaded in every chamber. He
was disarmed and sent to the First pre-
cinct police station. where he will be
held until his people can be notified.

ASSESSMENTS CAN
NOT Be REMITTRD
Opinion of City Sole tor on
Opening of Streets.
Decision Affects Old Si1t:erth aud Co
luulbia Road in Mount
Pleasant.

The City Solicitor has submitted
to the District Commissioners IN
adverse opinion relative to remitting
certain assessments on lots 1913 to 127
in Steuart's subdivision of 4 part of Mt.
Pleasant. 1t appears that the assess
ments were made by the jury In the
proceedings for the wide1ing OF Co.
lumbia Road and Old Sixteenth Street.
being the actual benefits found by the
jury as a consequence Of the widening
Of those streets.
In the subsequent proceedings to e1-
tend Sixteenth Street-a different street
from either OF those mentioned-a por-
tion OF the same lots was condemned
for tine new Sixteenth Street, and an
award Of damages amounting to SIS
1s5.25 was made by the jury for the
land SO taken. These lots. it appears,
were subject to the assessment made as
stated in the first proceeding, and the
auditor holds that the entire assessment
should be paid by the lot owners be-
fore the award for damages in the Sec
ond case is paid to such owners.
Amount Net Disclosed.
A claim is made on behalf Of the own
ers that the amount Of the assessment
was not disclosed or shown by the Dis
trict on the trial o. the condemnation
case for the extension Of new Sixteenth
Street, and that no allowance therefor
IN, ;te fl-
damages.
1T may be true" says the Solicitor,
that the District did not offer any evil
dence of the former assessments. but
nevertheless 1t was open t. the own
ers to do so. Whether the jury made
any allowance for these assessments In
the amount Of damages found would not
appear from the face of the verdict"
Owners Got Benefit.
"The Jury was supposed to consider
every element and all the testimony
showing the actual value OF the land
taken, and If the value OF the land had
been enhanced by the former proceed
ing It may be presumed that the own
er got the benefit OF such enhancement
in his verdict OF damages in the last
case.
II am, therefore. OF the opinion that
there is no ground upon which any
part OF the assessments made in the
the first case can be r0nitted. and that
the rule OF the Auditor In requiring pay
men: OF all taxes, etc, upon the land
before paving an award Of damages
should apply as well to these assess
meuts as to any other taxes
