Roscoe Pound, whom the regents OF the

wal assured that II. II. Wilson and c. A.
Robbins, who have been longer in the serv-
Ice OF the law department than Judge
Pound. would agree to work in harmony
with the new dean. 1t is believed that these
two because of their long service might
harbor some feeling against Judge Pound
for his appointment, because of the short

Go to Attorney.

Auditor John r. Garrison of the District
has raised the question as to whether or not
the statute OF limitations bars claims for
refunds of duplicate payments Of taxes
made more than three years ago. He has
asked the advice Of the Commissioners in
the premises, and 1t is probable the matter
will be referred to the corporation counsel
for his legal opinion.
The question has come up with reference
to the application of F. A. Barbour for the
refund of duplicate payment of tax made
on certain property In May. 1900. the parcel
Of ground being located in Trinidad. After
the statement of fact as to the duplicate
payment had been verified by the assessor 8
Office and the collector Of taxes. the papers
were sent to the auditor for consideration.
This is claim, says Auditor Garrison.
'for refund of duplicate payment of taxes
on the same property. the first payment
having been made May H. 1900. and the
second May II, 1900.

WANTS TRIAL BY JURY.
William n. Mitchell Charged With
Carrying Weapon Concealed.

The presence of Detectives Muller and
Cornwell near the corner Of Sd street and
Virginia avenue southwest about 10 o'clock
last night probably prevented a murder.
Two colored men were standing near tree
and the detectives heard one Of the men
threaten to kill the other, at the same time
pulling a revolver from under his coat.
After producing the gun the man caught
sight Of the. detectives and ran into his
house near by. The detectives followed and
placed him under arrest The gun, which
was loaded. was a .A-caliber, and was
found under chair in the front room:
The prisoner was sent to the fourth pre-
cinct police station, where he gave his name
as William H. Mitchell. The man who was
to be the possible victim said his name was
James Bright. Mitchell claimed that his
girl had transferred her affections TO
Bright. He was arraigned in the Police
Court today on charge of carrying dam
gerous weapon. He asked for a trial by
jury, and hearing in the case was post
poned until later date.
