Is OPPOSED TO WAR.
Representative Baker Refuses to Ap-
point Midshipman.

Because Representative Baker of the
sixth congressional district of New York
failed to appoint midshipman to Annapo-
lis from his district, Secretary Moody has
named Geo. w. Simpson. son of Col w. A.
Simpson, u. s. A., to fill the vacancy from
Bakers district
Representative Bakers failure to appoint
a midshipman is based on his disbelief in
the necessity of war. His position in the
matter is indicated in a letter written to
Postmaster Roberts of Brooklyn in reply
to a letter from that gentleman advocating
the appointment by Mr.. Baker of Arthur
Stewart of Brooklyn as midshipman. In
his letter Mr.. Baker said:
LAS have been suffering with an almost
continuous headache for over a month and
1t is yet with me. am in no condition to
make a logical reply to yours in re the
necessity or unavoidability of war But I
wish to say that most emphaticalIy differ
from those who maintain that war Is un-
avoidable. To my mind, 1t Is as morally
cowardly for a nation to make such a plea
as its excuse for training men to the art of
murder as 1t Is for individuals to contend
that their honor CD required that almost
any affrOnt, however trivial should be
wiped out in blood by duel
ITO me moral cowardice Is much less ex-
cusable than physical cowardice, and we.
the American people. could do no greater
service to humanity everywhere than by
openly condemning war and warlike prep
arations and stating that we would not be
parties to any war unless an actual attack
were made upon the United States by force
OF arms. regret my inability to reply at
greater length"

A matter which seems to work a hard
ship upon applicants for certified copies of
death certificates on file in the health Of
flee of the District has come before the
Commissioners. Mrs. George NJ Rowe re-
Gently applied to the health Office for a
certificate of the death Of George G. Curtis.
Following the usual course she was in
structed to pay over to the collector of
taxes the sum of 80 cents and to turn the
receipt over to the health authorities, who
would look up the death certificate and
mail her certified copy: Mrs. Rowe was
informed a few days later that the death
of Mr.. Curtis was not of local record
Mrs Rowe then applied to the Commits
sioners for a refund of the amount paid
for the certificate. The matter was refer
red by the office of the assessor to the COLI
lector of taxes, and the latter official rec
papers then went to the auditors office.
and Mr.. A. Tweedale, the acting auditor
has stated that the controller of the treas
ury under date of October 13, 1897, inform
ed the Commissioners that they were with
out authority to refund fees Of the char
acter involved in Mrs. Rowe's applica ton.
Commissioner West has recommended
that the applicant be informed in accord
ance with the statement of the auditor and
that copy of the ruling be furnished to
the various District officers for their in
