NOT AUCTIoNEERs.
Opinion of Corporation Counsel on
Pushcart Vendors.

The corporation counsel has submitted an
oninion to the District Commissioners on
the point raised by the assessors office
as to whether or not wholesale fruit deal
era who sell their goods at times to the
highest bidders shall pay license as auc-
ticneers as well as the license for the gen.
eral business. 1t seems that at times the
wholesale fruit dealers or commission mer-
chants will expose lot OF fruit for sale.
Quite lively competition occurs as rule
between the pushcart men, whose cry Of
..Good-a banan', five a doz," is heard on
the streets at all hours Of the day. 1t was
commended by the assessors office that
these auctions of goods constituted auc-
pioneering. The corporation counsels holds
that such is not the case.
It is stated in the opinion of the cor,
poration counsel that the auction OF fruit
is but an incident to the regular business
of the merchants. The merchants, includ-
ing Lumdon & Middleton. Henry L. Strang.
Joseph Ferraro and others, have been rep
resented in the controversy with the as
SCISSORS office by counsel whose brief was
filed with the papers forwarded to the Dis
tricts legal adviser, Mr.. Duvall.
Mr.. Duvall tcalIs attention to the fact
that practically the same question was
raised two years ago In the case Of the
fish and oyster dealers who also dispose OF
goods at times by the auction process. On
this occasion the counsel contended that q
double license should not be required. The
opanjsa seAs's iatsr upheld In the Polica
Court.

DENIED USE OF THE MAILS
Fraud Order Issued Against a Collec.
ton Agency.

The Post Office Department has issued
fraud order against the American State
Law Collection Agency, denying it the use
of the mails in the prosecution of its BUSH
ness. Up to few months ago the Amer
lean Jewelry Concern sent to a number Of
people throughout the United States small
stick pins, which were to be sold and the
proceeds turned into the company. Ten pins
were sent to each person, which were to be
sold for ten cents each. When the money
for the pins was sent in the Jewelry Con-
Germ promised to send each person a hand
some watch as a prize. 1t appears that
this company went out of business a few
months ago, and Its outstanding accounts
were turned oyer to the State Law Collec-
ton Agency for collection. This agency
wrote letters to all the persons whose
names could be found on the books Of the
jewelry company, demanding payment of
the alleged debts. Some of the persons re-
ceiving these letters were those who had
already sent IN the money they had received
for the stick pins, but to avoid any legal
complications they sent in another pay
ment. The letter of the State Law tCollec-
ton Agency bore a-Iprnted notice to the
effect that they always succeeded in their
endeavors to collect or the debtors were
prosecuted. In the case of the Jewelry Con-
Germ the letters stated that the collectors
had found that the debtors had been vfolat-
ing the postal regulations, and unless pay
ment was made, they would be prosecuted.
The fraud orderrsW was issued on the pre-
sentation of these facts.

MRS. BIRDS SAD ERRAND.
Trying Hard to Save Her Husbands
life

The pathetic efforts Of Mrs. Homer Bird
to save the life of her husband, under SEN
tence to be hanged on the 9th of March
In Alaska, were renewed at the White
House today. With tears streaming down
her face and her voice choked with big
lump in her throat. she almost gave up in
despair when thes deorkeeper of Secretary
Loeb told her that her case would have to
be taken to the Department of Justice. II
have tried to see the Attorney General"
she sobbed in broken sentences, but he
has persistently refused to see me. 1 have
tried to see the President, and all that 1
am told Is that hpst apply to the Depart
ment OF Justice. oh, God. is there no help
for my poor husband? Must he be sacri-
feed. and my five little children made faith
erless and disgraced? Can't they just spare
his life for our sakes? He was always
good to US. and they told such lies on him
when he was tried. It breaks my. heart
that must be turned away frc n one per-
son to another IN this cold manner. Are
all people in Washington heartless? VIII
nobody do ANYTHING to save his life?'
Standing beside the, grief-stricken mother
was little daughter. whose eyes filled
with tears. TOO. and her frame shook with
sentenced to die, and unless official action
Is taken by today or tomorrow to stay the
sentence no word can be gotten to the
place where he is confined before the SEN
anguish in his mind and the fate that
awaits him causes the mother and child to
give way to tears every time they are
turned away from some person they have
appealed to for help.
In New Orleans are four more little chill
dren of the condemned man, waiting to
hear of the efforts Of the mother here.
Mrs. Bird and her child are not used to the
fearfully cold weather Washington is now
experiencing, and are exposing themselves
to dangerous degree. They will continue
to make appeals, but the President and At
torney General long ago decided that Bird
must die, and that they will not interfere
with his sentence. Bird killed two of his
mining partners in Alaska several years
ago, and his crime was particularly afro
cious one, If the testimony Of the witnesses
could be believed. One of the witnesses
was woman with whom Bird lived in
Alaska. He deserted his wife for the wo-
man, but the wife forgets this and her
only thought is of the condemned man The
case is a most pitiable one, and the grief
Of the poor woman and her child touched
the hearts Of those who witnessed it today.
From the bald facts in the case, Bird is
probably not entitled to executive elem
ency, but the claim is that the testimony
against him is by irresponsible people.

LAW GOVERNING TAXES.
Prior Notice to Owners Claimed to Be
Unnecessary.

Newton & Gillett have. written to the Dis
trict Commissioners suggesting that the
new law permitting the sale of property by
the District for unpaid taxes did not repeal
the provision in the act Of February Is,
1898 which provides that before deeds shall
be issued the Commissioners must advertise
the fact that the property has been applied
for three times in two daily newspapers OF
the District. The writers believe that the
advertising provision is wise one.
Acting Assessor Griffin has reported to
the Commissioners that the new law. by it's
enacting clause, becomes an absolute sub
stitute for the former law. He says there
is no existing law requiring notice to prop
erty owners, either by advertisement or
otherwise. prior to the execution of deeds
OF the kind in question. The Commission
ers, however, have served no less than four
notices on persons whose property is in
volved inrthe late sales.

New Speed Register.

The police department has adopted new
speedometer to replace the one now In use
by the members Of the bicycle squad for the
purpose of ascertaining the speed Of We
hicles and bicycles on the public thorough
fares. The new instrument. it is said, has
been successfully used in Europe and other
cities in the United States and has been
tested by experts in this city. A supply has
been ordered and they will be used by the
members of the bicycle squad when the
weather is such as to permit the policemen
to again use their silent steeds. 1t Is said
to be the intention OF the department to en-
force the speed law to the letter.

Main Entrance,
Stone Sidewalk Around City Hall
Side Of Building to Be
Completed.

There is now available for disbursement
by the courthouse and city hall commits
sioners $25O,O00. The commission has
been informed that the late bond issue
bought by Dominick & Dominick has been
approved by the firms attorney and that
the money is at the disposal Of the proper
officers. This means that work on the
great main entrance will be completed
without delay. The entrance will be one
Of the handsomest and costliest in the
country. The stairways, pillars, walls
and arches will be of glittering white
marble.
The commission will also provide city
lookup for the police department, on the
fifth floor It will have communication
with the county jail on the same floor.
The commission will complete the stone
sidewalk work around the public build
ings. For several years the the walk has
been In dilapidated condition, such in
fact as to compel the city's legal depart
ment to get after the commission with a
sharp stick. The commission has been
very Indifferent and has met all criticism
with the cool announcement that II the
city hall needed a new walk the city coun-
Gil ought to build one right away. Re-
Gently the commission was convinced that
1t was the duty of the commissioners and
not Of the aldermen to provide the walk.

makers had been, in Many important re-
spects, decidedly lhostile to the Grand

The. legislature designated Memorial
Day as the day on which sportsmen
might begin the seasons bass fishing and
this, it was contended, made the day one
Of sport and hilarity instead Of one Of
solemn remembrance of the deeds OF the
men who preserved the republic.
The encampment will formally close
this evening with a camp fire at Contra
