REcE1vslEj THEIR CHECKS.
School Teachers Unanimously Approve
New System ofPaying Salaries.

The school teachers of the District of CO.
lumbia are expressing approval in strong
terms of the new' plan instituted by Dis
bursting Officer c. c. Rogers for the pay
ment of those Who Instruct the youth of the
national capital, Today is a school holiday
and the first psy DAY OF the year, and of the
1,596 public schoolsfeachers of the city all
but eighteen have received their checks for
service for the past month. The eighteen
who have not received their warrants on
the Treasury Department are either sick or
on leave of absence. Under the method Of
paying teachers formerly in vogue the
checks would not have been turned over to
the teachers until next Monday; conse-
quently, the new plan is hailed with delight
by those who are benefited thereby.
When the system was first proposed there
was considerable dissatisfaction expressed
among the instructors Of the city schools
with regard to signing the pay rolls in ad-
vance of receiving their checks, the fear
being expressed that under the new plan
the warrants would not be forthcoming
until a week after the end of the month.
The signed pay rolls were presented to the
diSbursing officer yesterday morning, and
last evening the checks We're turned over to
the school authorities and by them trans
mitted to the teachers late yesterday after
noon. This was done because of the fact
that today is a School holiday and if the
checks were held until the last day of the
month the teachers would have been
obliged to wait until Monday to receive
their pay.

USED A SHORT MEASURE.
Allegations Against Isaac Wren in
Police Court.

Isaac Wren. colored. who sells wood coal,
oil and gasoline from a wagon in the
streets, was convicted in the District
branch of the Police Court today for
using a measure with false bottom and
was sentenced by Judge Kimball to pay a
fire of $50 or spend three months in the
workhouse in default of payment. He was
also assessed $40 for using the measure
without having first had it stamped and
sealed by the sealer Of weights and meas
ures. 1t will be necessary for him to spend
one month additional behind the bars
the latter charge unless the tax is paid.
The assistant sealer of weights and meas
ures. George A. Howe, who filed the
charges against Wren. reported to the
court that he found a one-half gallon
measure in Wrenns wagon on the street
yesterday and on examining 1t found that
it had false bottom on the inside and
was one-half pint short on each half gal
Ion. Wren'S excuse was that it had been
put on the wagon by mistake, but that he
had not used 1t. The court, however failed
to accept the excuse and expressed itself
in severe terms against Wren for infring-
ing on the public, especially the poorer
classes who patronize him.

NOT OFFICIALLY ADVISED.
Labor Leaders Here Have Not Received
Copy of Strike Order.

1t was stated this afternoon that the Of
fcers of Local Union No. : of the Interna-
tional Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers have not received copy of
the national strike order issued by the ex-
ecutive committee of the international body
against the Iron League. The order be-
came effective today.
Notwit hstanding the fact that such an Or
A., der would not affect Washington, in that
no local contracts are held by members of
!he Iron League. the labor leaders of this
city are much interested in the develop
mentS in New York city and elsewhere. Re
ports received here indicate that the pres
ent grievances between the Iron League
and the International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers will be ad-
iusted along lines laid down by President
Buchanan. The conviction of Sam Parks
I: the walking delegate of Local Union No.
of New York. charged with extortion, in
the opinion of local labor leaders has a
bearing upon the present situation. 1t has
caused considerable depression among the
members of the New York body. AS a re-
e. suit of the conviction Parks adherents are
reported to have dwindled down to small
number.

SHOULD BE REFUNDED.
Opinion of Corporation Counsel in an
Assessment Case

Corporation Counsel Duvall in an opinion
submitted to the Commissioners today
holds that an amount paid by Mrs. Eliza
beth C. Kennedy OF 1342 Harvard street
as interest on an assessment for a water
main against part of lot Z, block 40, Hol-
mead Manor, should be refunded. G. u.
Black attorney for Mrs. Kennedy, recently
wrote to the Commissioners requesting the
return of the amount. Acting Assessor
Griffin in his report on the matter stated
that in view of the facts he could see no
ground for the refund requested. The case
was referred to the corporation counsel,
whose report the matter follows:
THE assessment in this case was in
valid because of the insufficiency of the
notice. and the tax sale mentioned was also
invalid by reason of the fact that the ad-
vertisement IN the lisl of delinquent prop
erty was defective for want of certainty III
the description of the property in question.
such description as that given not being
sufficiently ineligible to enable any one
to ascertain the property upon which tho
assessment was levied. Interest. costs and
penalties were, therefore, not properly
chargeable against the rcSerty; and. upon
the whole matter, arI of the opinion that
the application f1r the return OF the
amount o. int@.est, costs and penalties col
lected frG:n Mrs. Kennedy should be

WHARF ENCLOSURE.
Commissioner Mcfarland Wants Rul.
ing Regarding Use Of Appropriation.

. Commissioner Macfarland today wrote to
the Secretary of the Treasury relative to
the proposed construction of fence to
enclose the wharf OF the District of Column
bia Naval Battalion The Commissioner
asked the Secretary for ruling as to
whether the appropriation for the year 1903
for the construction of suitable dock for
United States steamship Fern and United
States steamship Oneida may be properly
regarded as permanent appropriation so
that the unexpended balance of $22e.51
which remains to the credit of the fund
may be used in the construction of the
fence.
Commissioner Macfarlahd calls the atten-
ton of the Secretary to the communication
recently received by the District authori-
ties from Major T.. l.. Ayerli, chief engf-
neer of the District H1ilitia. IN which is set
forth the necessity of building the fence in
order that the battalion may properly per-
form its duties and have complete possess
sion of the wharf
In his letter to the treasury official Mr.
Macfarland says, in part:
The Endorsement of the auditor of the
District, dated the sd instant, shows that
the balance of the amount appropriated by
Congress for construction of suitable dock
for United States steamship Fern and
United States steamship Oneida is not now
available, since the same is carried as a
subhead in the appropriation for the
Militia. District of Columbia for the fiscal
year ended June 50, 1903.
I'VE respectfully suggest that the appro-
priation for construction of suitable dock
for United States steamship Fern and
United States steamship Oneida may prop
erly be regarded as a permanent or indefi-
mite appropriation. without fiscal year.
available until the specific purpose for
which the same was made has been fully
completed. :. =
Submitting this view for your consider
alton. we respectfully ask that the proper
transfer may be made, SO as to classify the
appropriation sfot. construction of suitable
dock for United States steamship Fern and
United States ,steapship Oneida as IN
definite or without fiscal year, so that the
balance of $2T19 81, referred to in the audi
tors indorsenfent may be available for ex-
penditure for The c5pstruction and painting
of fence to Hlclose the dock Of the Dis
trict of Columbia Naval Battalion"

That was more than two hours after the
accident Dr. Hunter worked over her un-
tiringiy from the time he found her until
her death, which occurred about twenty
minutes after we arrived at the station.
A Pathetic Incident.
"a very touching scene occurred In that
little station. one that shall always carry
in my mind. Just before Mrs. Booth-Tucker
died Miss Dammes came into the room and
asked If there was any hope. was help
ing the doctor and todd her did not think
there was. She looked at us for moment
and then asked the division superintendent
OF the road, who had arrived by that time
and who was working like Trojan for all
Of U.s. to have the room cleared. He did as
she bid and stood at the door to keep the
curious people out. Then, in that rude little
station. which was crowded with the four
of us, that noble little woman knelt down
beside her dying leader and recited a simple
prayer. She did it as though it was the
most natural thing in the world. and told
us she could never face the commander
again unless she said something. Mrs.
Booth-Tucker died as her secretary was
praying.

things out for us and in a little while we
were on the way to Chicago. l called on
