and asked me TO go with them. They
suddenly covered my mouth with a
cloth and took me 70 a cellar tShere

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
OF personal TAX BOARD
Assessment Was Ss5o,se3, of Which
S5os,Ie6 Was Collected-ShOrt
of Expectations.

The first annual report of the personal
tax appraisers Of the District since the
enactment of the law to increase the
revenues Of the District from this source
was submitted to the Commissioners
today. II shows that a tax aggregating
S,59 S9s 90 was levied, of which sos 196. 56
vas collected. leaving balance due OF
S51. .6S7. a.
The law under which this collection
was made anticipated an annual cOllec-
ton Of 81, 600 900 to meet and defray the
expenses OF the Assessors 5 office. As
SCISSOR Darneile at the time the act
was under discussion declared il impOs-
sible to raise the revenue from this
source to more than $780, 900. The re-
suit of the years work is not up to
expectations by nearly $500. OOO- The av-
erage amount collected under the old
law was Sl69. 4364 annually.
OF the uncollected balance, there IS
due from the Washington Railway ana
Elect ric Company the sum of SIS. .335. .G1
as follows: From the Metropolitan
Railr pad Company. $SO.6S7; from the Co
Iumb Railway Company, SS.64s.6l
When these sums are collected It will
leave a balance of S12.S61.73 of the per-
sonal tax levy uncOilected. or less than
"a per cent of the entire levy.
In the enforcement Of this law many
perplexing questions We're brought to
the attention OF the personal tax ap-
praisers which demanded careful study
and frequent reference TO decisions OF
the courts. Many sworn returns were
rejected and assessments made in lieu
thereof, not that the board questioned
the veTacity of the person making the
return, but because il felt assured the
return was made from an erroneous
basis

TWO REPORTS MADE BY
COMMITTEE DEMOCRATS

The Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee this morning filed two
minority reports on the Cuban reci-
yDrocity BILL one signed by Representa-
'tives Williams. Swanson. Mcclellan. and
Clark. and the other by Representative
Cooper of Texas Mr.. Robertson OF
Louisiana signed neither report.
The Williams report objects, first, to
the principle involved in what is known
as the -year-clause as an attempt
on the part of one Congress 70 bin2
future Congresses, by reason of the fact
that It fixes the duty on Cuban sugar
definitely for FIVE years, making no
change possible, and also stipulates that
no sugar shall be admitted from any
other foreign country than Cuba during
the life of the treaty at a lower rate
than is provided in the Dingley act
The report contends for an amend
ment abolishing the difTerential on re-
hned sugar-the chief source OF profit
TO the sugar trust. If amendments
striking out the five-year clause and
inserting one abolishing the differential
are adopted, the report says, the DEM
= erats will gladly support the bill
IF the amendments shall not be
adopted, the report continues. we
still recommend the passage of the bill,
think that the good 10 be done by it's
passage viii far overbalanee the evil
which viii result from a failure TO take
advantage of an opportunity to diminish
the power Of the sugar trust, and the
evil resulting from the bad precedent
Intellectually. it Is tTUe-tO prevent the
country from still further reducing the
duties upon Cuban sugar and upon SUI
gars from other countries whenever it
shall appear wise and eNpedient TO do
so either by convention or by law
Mr.. Cooper's report questions the
right of the Senate to enter into a
reciprocal agreement with Cuba 70
reduce duties upon Imports, and con-
tends for the right of the House TO
originate all legislation affecting the
revenue. Waving this, however, he de-
clares the bill to be undemocratic and
unrepubliean and IN its effect injurious
TO American interests. and contends
that Cuba is not in need OF the special
favor extended 10 the island

PRINCESS
DEAD OF CHOLERA
RopaI Family of Russia Exposed TO Disease Which Claimed
Elizabeth, Ooeg Which Her Parents Waned

BERLIN, Nov. 16.-The Princess Eliz-

Grand Duke Of Hesse. died at Skiernie-
vice. Poland. this morning, Of cholera
her father, who was escorting the Car
and Czarina from Darmstadt to Russia,
and during the journey had been in
close contact with ali members of the
party. Great anxiety is felt in impe-
rial circles for the safety of the royal
family
A pathetic feature OF the death Of the
child is the fact that the Grand
Duke and Duchess of Hesse, who are
divorced, are in the midst of a dispute
over the custody OF the child. An ar
rangement had been made whereby the

princess should remain one month with
her father and one month with her
mother.
Elizabeth, however, disliked her moth
er, and entreated her father to keep
her with him. Finally the grand duke
commenced legal proceedings to obtain
permanent custody of his child. and it
was in the midst of the legal proceed
ings in connection with this suit that
the princess died.
The grand duke telegraphed the child S
mother that she was i'll, but before the
grand duchess could start for her
daughters side the grand duke teIe-
graphed that Elizabeth was dead.
The mother is prostrated with grief
The Car and Czarina are also greatly
grieved over the occurrence.
