Capt. S. F. Cottle, of the steam wha- Ter William Bayless, has the distinction of having driven his ship the furthest north into the Arctic, through Boring straits, than any record made before. The feat was accomplished after the Bayless left Nome last summer, and, favored by southerly winds and open water, the ship sailed toward the north pole, and it was not until latitude "A de- grees 9 minutes was reached that the boat was finally blocked by ice. The distance to the pole from this place is just 935 miles, and the captain thinks that if he had had aboard half dozen intrepid Alaskan mushers with their dog teams the American flag would now be planted at the north pole. Capt Cot tie reports very poor spring catch of whales by the fleet thls year, only three whales having been captured by the nine whalers.

"The fight is on within the party.
Do you believe that this corruption
should be stopped and punished, and
do you approve Of the prosecution of

then let the democratic party have this

In the Behrend case the complainant

OF 1876 from Washington. D. c., to

and from Richmond to Moseiey was
80 cents less. but it appeared that the

was not subjected TO unjust discrimina-

BUTLER CASE MAY GO
TO JURY IN FEW HOURS
Man Accused OF Killing His Stepfather
on the Stand n his 0wa
Behalf.

The hearing OF testimony in the case
Of James Butler. who is on trial for
murder in Criminal Court No 2, was re-
sumed this morning. The case will be
submitted to the jury late this after
noon
The greater part of the session Of court
yesterday was taken up in the direct and
cross-examination of the defendant, who
testified in his own behalf. At the close
of the afternoon session the jury was
permitted oy Justice Wright TO visit
the scene of the killing OF Joseph Green
by Butler. The man who was killed re-
sided in Kings Alley southeast.
Butler made a good witness. He was
deliberate in making his statements.
and although put through a severe
discrimination by Assistant District
attorney Gordon. his evidence was not
shaken. His story Of the circumstances
which led to the tragedy is substantially
to the effect that on June % his step
father. Joseph Green. before leaving
home in the morning. gave his mother.
Nettie Green. permission TO sell some
rags IN order to obtSin money to pay
her expenses on an excursion. This, Mrs.
Green did. Green. however. came home
late IN the afternoon. He was under
the tnfiuence Of drink and quarreled
with his wife because she sold the rags.
Green demanded that his wife give him
the money she received for the rags
This she refused to do. and quarrel en-
sued. which ended in Green beating his
wife. first with the handle OF a broom.
and next with barrel stave. Butler
said Green knocked his mother down
with the barrel stave. and commenced
to kick her. at the same time threaten
ing that he would "clean out all the mig
gers in the house" Butler said when
Green persisted in beating his mother
he picked up n AK and struck him a
blow on the head. and felled him to the
ground. Green was taken 10 the hos

WILL REFUND TAXES
PAID IN DUPLICATE
But Statute of Limitations Still applies
to Those Enormously Advanced
ty Owners.

From an Endorsement placed on GER
tain papers yesterday afternoon by
Commissioners West. the policy OF the
District authorities is established IN
so far as the statute OF limitations Is
concerned with the erroneous payment
OF taxes Hereafter the statute will not
be taken advantage OF when taxes have
been paid in duplicate. and 1t will be
taken advantage Of when taxes have
been enormously paid.
Mr. Vests argument is that when
man paws taxes for his property. ard his
agent makes a duplicate payment. the
District is receiving money twice for the
same thing. and therefore the duplicats
payment should be refunded, whether
two years or ten years have elapsed
since the error WIS made. In regard
to erroneous payments. the Commits
sioner thinks when a man is taxed for
three and one-half acres OF land and he
has only two acres. It rests with the
owner to call the attention OF the Dis
trict authorities to the error.
The case in point wac that Of Holland
Manley. who wanted fsfunG Of taxes
enormously paid on a piece Of prop
erty in Brookland. The first erroneous
payment was made in 1888 Ccmmls-
sioner West recommends he be refunded
the amount OF erroneous payment since
1901. but that the remainder be denied,
on the ground that it IS barred by the
statute of limitations.
