DISTRICT TO CORRECT
WATER RENTAL SYSTEM
First Step Toward Author
izing Refunds.
CAPTAIN HARDING FAvORS 1T
Places Endorsement On Protest Which
May Garry Complaints to Congress
for Correction.

Capt Chester Harding. assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner of the District
yesterday afternoon placed a significan;
Endorsement on an application for water
rent refund, which in all probability Will
result in the much needed relief to local
taxpayers. that has been insisted upon
by The Times for the past two months
In brief. steps are to be taken to en-
able the District to refund water rents
that have been paid in cases where nc
water has been delivered by the Dis
trict. This is impossible according to
the present law.
Asks for Refund.
The action In this instance has been
taken upon the complaint of o. W.
White, who recently began the con-
struetion of building at 1910 Balti-
more Street. Mr. White paid s12 water
rent in advance. and then decided not
to complete the building. He accord
ingly made application for refund.
The Water Registrar originally for
warded the papers TO the Engineer Com
missioner with the statement that the
erroneous" payments. and that as Mr.
Whites case did not appear as such, he
could not recommend refund Captain
Harding was Acting Engineer Commits
sioner at that time, and sent the papers
to the Acting Auditor. Mr.. Tweedale,
urging refund, provided il would not me-
cessitate a violation Of the law. Captain
Harding said that the equities in the
case demanded repayment of the money
to Mr.. White.
Told to Find Way.
Mr.. Tweedale reported that the law
would not permit the refund. and Cap
tain Harding referred the papers back
to the Auditor, telling that official.
practically, that If there was no way
the money could be returned to the per-
son to whom it belonged. some method
would have to be found. This the
Auditor later declared. could only
be obtained through Congress. and an
appeal will be taken to that body as
soon as IL convenes. In the meantime,
Mr. White will not get his SIP.

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock

in the subtreasury at ST. Louis
These lots were sold in accordance
with an act of Congress. which pre-
scribed not only the method of selling,

the General Land Office, and that the ex-
penses have been paid from the &C
counts to which they were properly
chargeable. The total expenses in selling
the lots in the three towns was Sc. 2S4. "a.

semi-official announcement has been made
of the purpose of the President to pro-
mote Brigadier-General Leonard Wood
to the grade of major-general.
There has never been any question as
to the desire of the President to pro-
mote his friend. but there has been a.
good deal of speculation lately as to.
whether he would do so In view Of the
fact that Wood mas been publicly
charged with the responsibility for the
bitter attack upon Major-General Brooke
and his administration in Cuba.
Senator Quay. who is a close friend OF
General Brooke, has taken considerable
interest In the charge against, him and
when the time comes for Woods nomina-
tion to be confirmed by the Senate 1t is
the understanding he will have good
deal to say on the subject.
Secretary Root left tonight for Oyster
Bay for the purpose of comforting with
the President about army matters. It Is
expected an official announcement about
Woods promotion will be made within
a day or two,
Senator Hanna also opposes General
Wood on account Of the Generals con-
nection with the prosecution of Major
