Benefcent Effect Of Law.
Mr.. Davis declares that the operation OF
the present tax law shows Its benef1cent
effect by the small unpaid balance Of realty
tax for the years within the scope of its
application, and Is it striking contrast to
the unpaid balances for the years prior to
its enactment. The collector urges the
Commissioners to provide horse and wa
gon for the use of his office.
In the report is found an appreciative ref
erence to the services of the late John W.
Clarke whose death occurred during the
year, and also of the services of Mr.. s. C.
Dickinson. who was obliged to resign from
the office owing to ill health.
Mr. Davis also appends to his report his
estimates for the fiscal year 1906, which
have been previously published.

Miss Russell went into the room, ordered
silence, and there was silence. But it could
be plainly seen that the same disturbance
would be repeated the moment the teachers
backs were turned.
Good for Institution.
Il think the uprising of last Saturday
was the best thing which could have hap
pened to the institution" said the superin-
tendent, Mrs. Winifred J. Burrows, today.
For several years. 1 understand, there has
been no strict discipline. / have been here
only a week today, but if I am supported
by the corps of teachers. 1 am sure we will
have the reform school on a thoroughly
commendable basis in a short time. My
idea is to treat the inmates kindly but
firmly; to let them understand that adher-
ence to the rules will be rewarded and dis
obedience will be punished. They told the
police the other day that they lthe police)
could do nothing, and defied them to take
them to jail l think immediate and ade-
quate punishment for such infractions
would soon establish perfect order and uni
versal obedience. The sooner the inmates
know they have to behave themselves the
better"
From the inspection of the buildings yes
terday however, 1t appears that strict dis
cipline cannot be enforced with the present
facilities for handling the inmates. The
arating the different sections of the build
ings are frail the windows leading to the
fire escapes are practically open and I'M
guarded, and there are boxes and barrels
and sheds in the yard, which make 1t easy
to scale the ten-foot wall which surrounds
the grounds. Nearly every lock in the en-
tire institution can be picked with a hair
pin or buttonhook, according to the state
ments of teachers yesterday, and should
well-organized attempt be made by the in
mates to gain their freedom. the doors
would fall like pasteboard and the locks
and bolts would snap. like match-sterhs. AS
far as could be ascertained, there are no
weapons in the institution with which the
teachers could even protect themselves,
much less quell the disturbance.

Saturday morning to stop the rush from

any of the fifty-eight frenzied girls might

Commissioner mcfarland today recon-
mended to the Commissioners that the
board of charities be directed to investi-
gate the condition of affairs at the school,
with special reference to recent occur
rences there. The Commissioners, 1t is I'M
derstood. consider that the troubles at the
school are of sufficient seriousness to make
an investigation advisable, and Commits
sioners West and Biddle have approved Mr.
Macfarlands recommendation.
The Commissioners cab attention to the
fact that the reform school is not under the
control of the District authorities, notwith-
standing one-half of Its expenses are paid
by the District and all Of it's inmates are
committed from the District. The direct
control of the school vests in the Depart
ment of Justice. Thea board of trustees Is
appointed by the President and elect the
officers of the institution. The trustees are
under no obligation to report to the District
Commissioners, and the only authority the
District has over the school Is the right
to investigate its affairs through the board
of charities.

Under the decision of the United States SUI

Under the decision Of the United States SUI
preme Court in Callan VS.. Wilson, 127 U. S.,
$40, defendant entitled to a jury trial Is
entitled to trial by jury in the court in
which he is first put on trial He cannot be
arraigned in one court. and. upon demand
ing jury trial, be sent to another court for
trial; This was a case originally tried in
the Police Court of the District, and was
taken to the Supreme Court of the United
States from the Supreme Court of the Dis
trfct of Columbia.
Judge Harlan, in his opinion saws: The
guarantee of an impartial jury to the ac-
cused in criminal prosecution, conducted
either In the name or by or under the au-
thority of the United States, secures to him
the right to enjoy that mode of trial from
the first moment, and in whatever court he
Is put on trial for the offense charged. In
such cases a judgment of conviction, not
is void
Under the language of the court above
quoted II defendant entitled to jury trial
should waive such right and be tried by the
magistrate his conviction would be abso-
lutely void. In each case the arraignment
and trial must be before a court with the
power of trial by jury.
Another Case Cited.

sidered by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia in United States agt.

Herzog GO d. c. Rep, 400
The opinion In the first case Is long, and
the finding OF the court is sufficiently shown
by the syllabus. as follows: The Police
Court has no jurisdiction over those INSIDE
meanors which by the course of the COM
mon law, or by reason of the gravity of the
onenses. are properly triable by jury
On account of this decision Congress
passed the act of March 3, 1891 providing
jury for the Police Court. In the mean
time the case of the United States agt
Herzog Go D. c. Rep, 400 was tried before
March 3. 1891, and carried up on appeal,
but not decided till after a jury had been
provided by law. In that case Herzog
waived jury trial, was convicted and SEN
fenced. and the case taken up on the ground
that the Police Court having no Jury with
which to try him, his trial was absolutely
void, Notwithstanding his waiver and the
upper court sustained his contention, and
this decision exactly covers the proposed
magistrate courts l ask that this case be
carefully considered, but will only quote
two sentences: The Police Court could not
grant trial by jury. because it had no
power under the law to impanel jury The
court was. therefore, not so constructed as
to give the defendant legal trial.
In conclusion, allow me to state that the
interests of the defendants, the interests OF
the members of the bar, the interests of the
citizens and the interests of the capitaI civ
as well as the decisions Of the courts. for

prompt payment of personal taxes, he rec
ommends that an appropriation be secured
sufhcient for the employment of number
OF collectors to call upon delinquents The
collector says that from the small collec-
lions In November last, 1t appears that The
taxpayers were not eager to avail them
selves OF the opportunity of paying their

but found Ii more convenient to pay all the
tax In one installment IN May.

Judge Kimball's Objections to

THE REASONS ASSIGNED
RIGHTS OF PRISONERS AND
PUBLIC WELFARE DISCUSSED.
Proposed Magistrates Courts Regarded
as Unconstitutional-The Two
Systems Contrasted.

Judge I. G. Kimball of the Police Court
has submitted to Commissioner mcfarland
| an argument against the establishment in
the District of police magistrate courts, as
! proposed by Maj. Sylvester In his letter
! to the Commissioner, Judge Kimban saws:
Il have carefully examined the last report
of the chief of police reiative to magistrate
courts, to which you-called my attention
and cannot see that the changes from tha
plan outlined in his previous reports In an v
way overcome the serious objections sue-
gested in the brief sent You December 21.
1903. ~ S-aEa
1T is now proposed to have four polics
magistrates to try all cases In which iurv
trials are not demanded. AS there are ten
police precincts, this would necessitate eth
er bringing the prisoners and officers from
six precincts to the four at which the mag
istrates would sit, or having the mapiS-
trates go from precinct to precinct to try
the cases. A moments thought will show
many objections to either plan. One obiec-
ton raised against the present system is
that the officers are compelled to go to the
Police Court to have th1ir cases tried I
can see no gain in merely changing the
place to which the officer goes. In either
event he leaves his precinct. II the magts-
trate goes to different precincts, then OF
necessity the officers and witnesses must he
delayed, waiting for the arrival of the mag
fstrate.
Main Point Of Objection.
Maj. Sylvester well says that this sub
Ject materially concerns the welfare of the
citizens, but in his report he has not con-
sidered either. the weifaressof the citizens
or the rights Of the prisoners. His main

STOCKS YET sTAGNANT
THERE is NO PRICE MOVEMENT
WORTHY THE NAME
Wall Street interest Is Confined Almost
Exclusively to the Bank Statement.
Which Is Again a Record Breaker.

NEW YORK, April 30.-The bank
statement was the only news of the day
with any important bearing on the stock
market, and 1t was accepted with languid
interest. This was partly due to the feel
ing that the statement was not an ac-
curate showing of actual conditions. An
increase, although a small one, in the cash
item of the banks in the week of the
largest gold exports on record Is an
anomaly in itself 1t is partly explained
by the fact that the statement does not
reflect the So, 700, 600 shipment of gold that
went out today and which will be carried
over into next weeks statement. Even
allowing for this, the cash reserve is more
from the known movements of money
Local cash operations are given as the ex-
PLANTATION Of the discrepancy.
The increased loan item was not greater
road note issues. Further issues are ex-
pected and the placing of the $37 ,000, 900
New York city loan is expected to affect
the loan item still further. 1t is also gen
orally believed that the outgo of gold to
this time, except the Morgan Shipme nt
that went today, is for other purposes
than the Panama canal payment the
principal portion of which therefore re-
mains to be provided for. The details of
the operation are still somewhat obscure
to- the Wall street mind, especially the
manner of the actual withdrawal of gov
eminent deposits from the banks and Of
gold from the treasury and their imme-
date lodgment. This uncertainty was one
of the factors in the Stagnation of the
days stock market. The price movements
OF any interest were confined to special
ties. Total bond sales par value S997-
