SAYS REPUBLICANS ARE
TO CARRY NEW YORK
Representative Sherman Discusses
the Situation

Representative J. s. sherman of New
York was in the city yesterday attend q
ing TO business before the departments.
When asked about New York political
conditions he made light of the claims OF
the Democrats that they intend to carry
the state at the next election.
The Empire State" said he, 'is
stronger Republican today than II has
been in years. President Roosevelt is
more popular now than ever. and tho
assertion that the Democrats are to
carry the State is a wild pipe dream.
The State is going for President Roose-
welt by one of the record breaking ma
jorities. Why. we believe that we can
carry the city Of New York again, easily
defeating Tammany Hall"
Concerning the candidacy of big Bill"
Devery, the former chief of police, VITO
is now running for mayor on the 'Inde-
pendent Peoples Party" ticket. Repre-
sentative Sherman said that Devory
would do much toward Debating Tam
many, his strength coming from the
very people Tammany depends upon for
its votes. Devery, he thought, would
poll about 80. 900 votes, which would come
from Democratic strongholds. thus prac-
tically electing the Republican candi-
date.

SHALL DISTRICT RECORD
DEEDS OF TAX SALES?

Ruling.

Corporation Counsel Duvall has been
requested by the Commissioners to do

quent tax sale Of July Is. The act of
July. 1902. provides two methods of sell
ing property for delinquent taxes. one 20
take place annually, certificates to be
issued to purchasers on which deeds may
be obtained IL the property is not re
deemed within two years from date OF
sale
The other authorizes the Commission
ers to sell. at public or private sale. any
property which the District may have
bought In the absence Of other bidders.
At this sale deeds are issued, no time
being allowed for redemption, and it bas
not been considered necessary for the
District to record such deeds
Section Of the act referred to re-
Quires the Collector of Taxes TO file
with the Recorder OF Deeds, within
twenty days Of the last day OF sale, a
written report covering the annual sale
at which certificates are issued
From the concluding portion of this
section. which provides that II any

the Collector thinks that Il is not the
intention OF the law that the District
should record deeds. but only sales that

trail freight train before daylight today
He had been sitting on an embank-
ment near the tracks. and just before

to the river side. His foot was caught
in frog" of the rails and before he
could eztricate it the engines passed
over him.
The engineers. McCabe and Van Hou-
sen, said the train was so long and
heavy that they were unable to stop 1t
when they saw the man caught In the

the Subject.

A letter was received in Washington
yesterday from Representative Joseph
Cannon. who is to be Speaker of the
next House. which puts an end to many
Of the rumors concerning alleged
changes in committees Mr.. Cannon had
in mind
Mr.. Cannon says that he has not as
yet given any thought to committee
changes, and he adds that he does not
intend to until after he is elected
Speaker
One OF the reports which this letter
settles is that concerning Representa-
tive Cannon's alleged intention TO re-
move Representative Foss of Illinois
from the craftsmanship of the Naval
Committee, replacing him with Repre-
sentative Dalton, the senior member of
the committee.
This report was started about two
weeks ago. during the visit OF the Naval
Committee to the city. Just why the
make clear.
II was also reported that Representa-
tive Cannon had in mind a plan to
change things around In the Committee
on Ways and Means, shifting Repre-
sentatives Serene E. Payne and Dali
cell.
That the Speaker is going to make
changes Is admitted. but as he says In
the letter that he has given the matter
no thought, il may be that he intends TO
do nothing at the present session.
