FOR SUBoRNATIoN OF PERJURY.
Charge Preferred Against Prominent
Citizens of New York.

Citizens Of New York.
A dispatch from New York last night
says: Philip Baer, city librarian, and Wal
ter F. Sawyer. Nathan Springer and Moses
Springer were arrested today by detectives
from the district attorneys Office on
charges of attempted subernation OF per-
jury In connection with an alleged swim
ding scheme through which enormous
sums are believed to have been lost by the
department of taxes.
District Attorney Jerome said tonight
that he had Information that the prison.
ers had approached many persons with
inducements ito. have their tax assess
nents cut down. In one instance an as
sessment lDf S25Q,000 had been almost en-
tirely obiiterated.
The specific case In which the arrests
were made was that of Monroe B. Bry-
ant, jeweler,-who Is said to have been
approached with a suggestion that. for
half the amount Of the taxes saved. his
assessment might be reduced from $4,000
to $1OO0Oy &c
The first information regarding the case
was given to District Attorney Jerome by
William Harcourt. an actor, who said that
he had been approached by Nathan Spring
er. who asked him to procure a man--who
could personate Mr.. Bryant and in that ca
pacity swear or his assessment. At the
district attorneys request. Harcourt took
County Detective Secor to Baers Office in
the city hall. where he was inspected by
Baer, who decided that he would do"
After being furnished by Nathan Springer
with minute directions as to what he should
do, Secor. accompanied by Baer and fol-
lowed by several detectives, went to the
office of the tax department, where he rep
resented himself as Mr.. Bryant and sue
ceeded In getting his assessment reduced
from $S0, 600 TO $4,000 ~.
The arrests followed Immediately. The
prisoners were taken to court and held in

FOR ASSESSING DAMAGES.
Commissioners Sanction Proposed
Amendment to Senate Bill.

Commissioners Sanction Proposed
Amendment to Senate Bill.
The Northeast Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION has suggested an amendment to
the District Commissioners to Senate bill
1925, to abolish grade crossings, to provide
for commission to determine damages
and make awards for property affected by
the change of street grades.
The Commissioners are in sympathy with
the application and have informed the
writers that they will recommend legisla-
ton to the effect asked.
The bill provided that all persons whose
property might be damaged or benefited by
changes of street grades would have re-
course to suits at law against the District.
This seemed to impose hardship upon
each Of the many persons interested, be-
sides involving a large amount of work
upon the corporation counsels office in de-
Tending the suits.
It is estimated that about three hundred
pieces of property will be more or less
damaged in amounts ranging from sos to
$1,000. It Is believed by the association that
to leave the adjustment Of so many eases
to as many sets of jurors would be very I'M
satisfactory and negotiable.
The bill seems to only contemplate dam
ages for property fronting upon the pro-
posed union station, and the association
asks that all property affected by changes
OF grade should be provided for.

NO PERMIT REQUIRED.
Shed Covered With Chingles Contrary
to Regulations


Theron Outwater of 1872 B street south
west has inquired of the District Com
missioners by what authority woodshed
gle roof near his house. Col Biddie, the
Engineer Commissioner. has replied that
the shed complained Of is in the rear of
premises 1903 B street southwest. The
office is informed that the property is IN
Ger lease to the Department of Agriculture
and that repairs have been made by the
department. The shed is contrary to the
requirements of section 139 of the building
regulations in that it covers more than $50
square feet of ground area, is rooted with
combustible material and is located within
thirty feet of brick house.
LAS this building is under the control of
United States officers says Col. Biddfe,
mo permit for 1t had to be taken out
from the District building department, and
its condition was only called to the atten-
ton of the office few days ago by let
ter of complaint from the owner Of ad-
jacent property. 1t is recommended that
the matter be brought to the attention Of
the Department of Agriculture. with
statement to the effect that while the
Commissioners do not exercise supervision
over buildings controlled by United States
authorities. they deem it highly desira BILE
that the District rules regarding fire pro-
lection should be complied with as is done
in the case of buildings under the con-
troll of the District and private parties,
and that they would appreciate any rene
dial action in the matter which it will be
practicable for the department to afford.
In this special instance the alley is full
OF sheds similar to that erected by the
Agricultural Department, so that no great
harm is done by the repair of this she'd
but at the same time the authority would
not be granted to other owners to repair
these sheds, as 1t is hoped gradually to get
rio OF all except such as are authorized by
the regulations. These regulations state
that no shed on any one premises shall be
more than eleven feet. in height nor cover
more than go square feet of ground area. :"

NOT THE MAN WANTED.
Clue in Jordan Murder Mystery Proves
to Be Groundless.

The last supposed clue In the Kate Jordan
murder mystery has been run down with
out results, and the detectives are as far
from solving it as they were the night the
woman was stabbed to death. Detective
Muller went to Baltimore yesterday with
two colored residents of Hillsdale and saw
the Italian. Augustine Toterish. whose
name had been mentioned in connection
with the affair. 1t was reported to the po-
lice that an Italian had been in the habit
of visiting and spending some time at Mrs
Jordans house, When the colored people
saw Toterish they promptly declared he
was not the man to whom they had re-
ferred.
Toterish was known here and, it is
stated, sold fruit about Anacostia, but he
was not the man to whom reference had
been made. Detective Mark Hagan Of Bal
tmore was assigned to assist the detective
from this city, and when he learned that
Toterish was a son-in-law of a wealthy
fruit merchant named Arrigo he arranged
to have the man at police headquarters to
be interviewed by Detective Muller Toter-
tsh was on hand yesterday, and he did not
hesitate to answer questions the detective
asked him.
Attorney Weeks was present as his coun-
sci. He told the detective that his client
was in Baltimore the day the murder was
committed. and as there could be no doubt
of his whereabouts on that day there was
no objection to his answering the questions
that might be asked. Detective Muller re-
turned home fully satisfied that Toterish
knows nothing Of Kate Jordans murder.

TO ARRANGE A WAGE SCALE.
Important Joint Meeting Of Miner
and Operators at Indianapolis.

Important Joint Meeting Of Miners
and Operators at Indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS. January 2S.-The coal
operators of the states Of Ohio Indiana.
Illinois and western Pennsylvania and rep
resentatives Of mining interests in twenty
other states began arriving In Indianapolis
today for the joint wage conference with
the miners. which begins at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning in Tomlinson Hall. Be-
tween 80 and 800 operators VIII be in the
city, and they have reserved one whole
section of the English Hotel.
Wniie the operators are coming in many
OF the miners from the twenty states not
included in what is known as the central
competitive district, which covers western
pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
Degan leaving for their homes.
Inc joint scale conference between the
operators of the central competitive dis
trlct and the miners wage committees
only has to do with arranging the scale
for the central district This settlement
however. Is of national Importance. for the
settlements In all Of the other bituminous
districts are based on the terms reached in
this one. Most of the operators that ar
rived IN the city today refused to talk
Tor publication. A few of them, however,
the stand that the miners demand too
much.
Indications are that this will be one Of
the most interesting conferences In the
history of the central competitive field,
and the chances are favorable for the
miners getting an advance in wages, but
not the full amount they demand.
