thank you for the great honor which you

DESK SERGEANIS MUST
FURNISH BETTER BONDS
Sureties Provided Must Be
Taxpayers.
Mr.. THOMAS GIVES OPINION
Acting Corporation Counsel Says Au-
thoIity to Accept Or Reject Rests
With Commissioners.

In following a suggestion contained
in an opinion submitted by the Corpora
tion Counsel few days ago, Commits
that all desk sergeants Of the police
force be required to furnish as bonds
men, persons who appear on the records
of the Assessors Office to an amount not
less than the penalty of the bond.
The matter was brought TO the atten-
ton of the Commissioners through the
filing of bonds by Sergeants Nils Chalm-
ers. John E. Thompson. and Andrew
Zych. The bond required is $500. and the
papers were referred TO the Corporation
Counsel for the reason that no real
property is assessed in the name OF
the second surety in each case. The
Commissioners asked whether they
would be justified in accepting these
proposed bonds in view of this fact
Rests With Commissioners.
E. H. Thomas, Acting Corporation
Counsel, in his opinion, said that the
Commissioners were directed to ere
quire surety" in such cases. but that IL
they were satisfied that the sureties
were responsible. the absence of their
names from the Assessors books would
not preclude their acceptance as sure
ties. This left the action entirely with
in the discretion OF the Commissioners,
and Mr.. Mcfarland, by his Endorsement,
shows that he does not believe that the
Commissioners should take any chances
He says:
II move that desk sergeants be re-
CURED to furnish as surety on their
bonds as such, two bondsmen. each of
whom is assessed on the records of the
Assessors office for real property to an
amount not less than the penalty of
the bond; or furnish the guarantee of
an acceptable bonding company for such
amount"

COMP TROLLER ASKED TO
RECOI SIDER DECISION
Authority Sought to Rent
Hospital Buildings.
ARE NEEDED IMMEDIATELY
Health Officers Recommendations In
doIsed by the Board and Referred
to Mr.. Tracewell.

As stated exclusively In The Times
Of August II, the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia are not satisfied
with the ruling of the Comptroller of
the Treasury. denying them the right
to rent buildings for the care of per
sons afflicted with contagious diseases.
On motion of Commissioner mcfarland,
the entire question, involving indirectly
the status of the District of Columbia,
will be again referred TO the Comp
troller, asking his reconsideration.
Commissioner Macfarland contends
that the Comptroller lost sight of the
most important issue when he at
tempted to construe the status of the
District of Columbia. Accordingly the
Comptroller is now requested to answer
more fully and definitely the inquiry
which the Commissioners made as to
whether they had not authority TO rent
quarters for the accommodation of per-
sons qUarantined on account of con-
tagious diseases.
Direct Answer Requested.
Commissioner mcfarland, having re-
ferred the recent opinion of the Comp
troller to the Health Officer. has re-
ceived the following Endorsement from
that official:
Attention is respectfully invited to
the fact that the Comptroller has not
answered the second of the questions
raised by the Acting Auditor, namely.
Are or are not the Commissioners by
the terms of either of the acts for the
enforcement of which appropriation has
been duly made authorized to rent
houses?' This matter Is of Importance
in view OF the fact that the Commits
sioners are expressly authorized by sec
ton % OF the act to prevent the spread
OF contagious diseases, etc, approved
March 3. 1897. to provide accommoda-
lions for such persons as may be
threatened by or afflicted with any of
the diseases aforesaid
1T is respectfully submitted that au
appropriation for the enforcement OF. an
act which in itself so manifestly author
ICES the payment of rent should be con-
strued TO be an appropriation for rent
in terms (the la% does not require
specific or express terms) within the
meaning OF the act OF June %. 1874. II
is respectfully recommended that the
Comptroller of the Treasury be request
ed to pass upon the second question
raised by the Acting Auditor in his let
ter os the 18th instant"
Motion of M mcfarland.
Accordingly. Commissioner Mcfarland
today made the following motion:
u move that the Comptroller of the
Treasury be furnished a copy Of the
recommendation of the Health officer,
and be requested 10 give the Commits
sioners decision as to the specific
question raised in it. taken in con-
nection with the second inquiry made by

Strongly Supported Rumor
That M. A. w. Louis, Chief
of Supply Division, Is
Next to Go-No Malfeas-
ance Alleged.
WAS APPOINTED BY HEATH
AND WELL SUPPORTED
Old Charge of Supernatural
ant Ink Purchases Sup
posed to Be Ground for
the Removal-Changes in
Auditors Office.

NJ. A. w. Louis, superintendent of the
division of postof1ce supplies, is slated
for retirement. according to strongly
supported rumor- Postmaster General
Payne is said to have definitely deter
mined on this course. The charge
against Louis is that he bought cancel
ing ink in such quantities as to provide
postofhces the country over for from
three to ten years in advance; also that
he paid 30 cents a pound for ink when
the market quoted 1t at from 20 to "a
cents.
Louis is relic of the Heath regime
He was with General Heath when the
latter published a paper in Cincinnati,
and was brought here from Cincinnati
after General Heath had been appointed
First Assistant Postmaster General.
Integrity Not Challenged.
His conduct of his office, with the ex-
ception pointed out. is said to have
been above criticism. and his friends be-
lieve implicitly in his integrity.
That the name OF Mr.. Louis should
again be brought so prominently for
ward in the Postoffice investigations
with the rumcr that he is TO be retired
comes as somewhat of a surprise HIS
division was thoroughly examined by
the inspectors, who worked over there
for several weeks without finding any
thing discriminating and were then sent
elsewhere.
Changes by Captain Castle.
Capt Henry A. Castle. Auditor for the
Postoffice Department. refused to dis
cuss the changes among his division
chiefs today. NJ NJ. Holland. who has
seen long service as chief of the record
ing division. has been switched TO the
chiefship of the asserting and checking
division, taking the place of Capt. w.
b. Belden, who was appointed chief of
that division about a year ago.
At this time Mr.. Holland was made
temporary chief of the asserting and
checking division until Captain Belden
was designated for the place by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw. Lee VI. Lips
comb, assistant chief of the recording
division, is transferred to the asserting
and checking division, vice Charles Chap
lin, who goes to the recording division.
These changes are said to have been
contemplated for some months. but the
only reason offered is that they are for
the general betterment of the service.

rrlnmphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased Sec
tions of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before inflam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a. bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save YOU
time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all
druggists.
