SCOTT OF THE PROvIDENT
LIFE IN A TIGHT PLACE.

New York, Dec l4.--During the in
surance investigation Today Edward
w. Scott, president OF lh9 Provdent
Savings Life Assurance society, made
an earnest appeal to Chairman w. w.
Armstrong of the inyestiga ting commit
tee 10 exclude from the hearing certa In
statements bearing on his reatons with
the Equitable Life Assurance society,
Of which he was formerly Australian
agent.
Charles T.. Hughes. counsel for the
investigating committee, had asked Mr..
Scott whether the Equitable Life AS
surance. society had not a claim of $780,
900 against him. Mr. Scott at first de.
clnred that there was no such claim
against him, until Mr. Hughes present.
ed letters that passed between Mr. Scott
and President Alexander on that sub
ject In 1901, in which President Alex
ander asked Mr.. Scott 10 make for
NAL admission In writing chat his ac-
counts with the society, showing bal
ances OF s51, 1888 due the society, were
accurate.
In one letter Presidet Alexander wrote
that MIR Scott had accepted the ac-
counts Mr.. Scott's letter 10 President
Alexander proposed conference, but
made no admissions as TO the accept
ance Of the accounts.
Wien these letters had been read
President Scott made an earnest plea
10 the committee to rule that this sub
iect was foreign to the investigation.
He declared hat he had been pursued
by enemies for several years; that In
1900 he caused the arrest and indictment
of a man who had engaged with the
Equitable Life Assurance society to
Ir1f AZ q
Provident Savings Life Assurance So
cicty: that a traitorous hookkeeper
who was in league with this man was
dismissed from the provident society's
employ, and that II was in connection
with these matters that his MIR. Scott's)
relations with the Equitable We're re-
ported TO the committee In spirit OF
revenge.
Though Mr.. Hughes did not uncover
Just what the Equitable soclety's claim
against Mr. Scott was based on, he
brought out from him the statement
that the Equitable society had made
such a claim upon him and that Mr..
Scott refused to settle It.
Another Incident In the testimony OF
Mr. Scott was his statement that when
he bought control Of the Provdeut
Savings Life Assurance society's stock
he used $4,000 which had been lent by
that company TO two OF It's agents in
order TO enable them TO buy 100 shares
OF It's stock They did not buy the
stock and Mr.. Scott said he took over
the loan and delivered to the society
promise to turn over TO It 100 shares
OF it's stock when he got the stock. II
Is now held by the trust company, 10
whom he still owes $4,000 which he
borrowed to buy Ii.

TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE.
Reading Of Interesting Papers Contin-
ued Today at Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 19-American Anti
Tuberculosis League decided today to hold
its next-annual meeting at Ell Paso, Texas
of the chief officers resulted in the selection
of DR.. r. e. Commit of Sioux City, Iowa, as
president and DR.. Walter N. Villas of Ell
Paso as secretary.
A vice president from each state will be
chosen later. The reading of papers was
continued today, absence of several speak
ers necessitating reading by title only
Among exceptions to this rule were papers
of Dr. Henry o. Marcy of Boston and of Dr.
j. A. Riviere of Paris, which We're read at
length.
The conclusions of Dr. Riviere's discussion
were the following:
The powerful physical agents, air, light
water, heat, electricity, movement, ozone
oxygen, X-rayS and actinc rays, are not
only prophylactic means of the first order
but also. judiciously handled, they exert an
indubtable curative action in the disease
when confirmed.
To attain the end in view it is necessary
TO abandon the idea of the SAINT orium which
places the patient in such defective moral
surroundings that the benefit he might de-
rive from the air and the light is diminished
in very considerable degree
Divulgation of the rudiments of hygiene
in the schools, workshops and all resorts of
the people.
Establishment of stricter and more reg
ular control of the measures taken In this
respect by the municipalities or by the sta tie

and regulations imposed. in addition, to Sc
cure greater breathing space and wiser

SERVICES HIGHLY VALUED.
No Truth in Story of Count Cassini's
Transfer

ST. PETERSBURG. April 19.-The report
that Baron de Rosen. formerly Russian
minister at Tokyo, will succeed Count Cas-
sini, Russian ambassador to the United
States. is not confirmed at the foreign of
flee here On the contrary, it is said that
Count Cassini's services at Washington are
highly valued and that no change is at
present contemplated
A number of months ago, however,
change was believed to be impending. At
that time it is understood that Count Cas-
SIM desired a European post. and there was
much talk of his transfer To Madrid, and
of Baron de Rosen going 10 Washington:
but. since then. the whole question has
been in allegiance. and it is regarded
entirely unlikely that the government
would agree to Count Cassini's transfer at
any event till after peace is concluded. as
important negotiations might be conducted
through Washington in which the count
could render great assistance.
Count Cassinis position at Washington is
in no wise involved in the question of his
ultimate transfer, the United States having
al one time taken pains to officially notify
the Russian government that the stories
then industriousiy circulated OF friction be-
tween the ambassador and Secretary Hay
were not only untrue but that Count Cas-
SIM was entirely acceptable to the United
States.

VERDICT OF AcoUITTAL.
Hotel Keeper Exonerated from Charge
of Unlawful Sale of LIQUOR.

Carl Heurich, who keeps a hotel on
Wisconsin avenue above Tenleytown. in
the District, was acquitted by jury in
Police Court this morning of the charge
of unlawful sale of liquor. Judge Kim
ball directed the verdict of mot guilty"
at the close of the governments case on
the motion of the attorney, Preston b.
Ray. for the defendant. 1t was charged
in the information that Heurich had I'M
lawfully sold liquor Sunday, July "a.
The evidence in the case showed that the
defendant kept a hotel and that he had
hotel license. Under this he could sell liquor
Sunday with meals to bona fide guests OF
the hotel Sergeant Harry, who made the
arrest, stated that he went to this place on
the particular Sunday in question; that he
heard the cash register at the bar ringing
and that a waiter was behind the bar that
he saw several persons on the porch drink
Ing what looked like beer, but he could not
see whether or not these people had food
on the tables with them. He was the prin-
cipal witness for the government, and other
witnesses proved nothing more definite.
Judge kimball.J in directing a verdict of
acquittak made an exposition of the law
stating that it must be shown that liquor
was actually sold to people not guests of
the hotel on that day. The evidence of the
District was lacking in not showing actual
sales.
His honor pointed out that the cash regis
ter might be rung in taking care of the
business of the hotel outside of the bar

TAXATION OF FRANCHISES.
Ex-secretary Root Argues in the Su
preme Court

The argument in the special franchise tax
cases from New York was closed today in
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Former Secretary of War Elhu Root made
the closing address in the case of the Net
ropolitan Company, opposing the enforce
ment of the law.
Our proposition is he said, 'that the
requirement binding the company to pay
a percentage of it's receipts is a contract,
and that under it the state cannot increase
the taxation" Rights of this character
were like licenses to sell liquor and in no
sense like real property. He contended
that they are too Intangible for taxation.
We concede the right of the legislature
to tax corporations. he said. but we de-
mand that they apply to us no more oner-
Gus rule than Is applied to others in the
same class, and we say that there has been
gross and conspicuous discrimination In this
matter
Mr.. Root was followed by Attorney Cen
eral Mayer and Attorney Louis Marshall in
support of the tax. Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Mcclure was present in an advisory
capacity but did not speak.
Mr.. Mayer devoted himself to detailed
reply to Mr.. Root.
Mr.. Marshall took up the various de-
cisions bearing on the question of the i'm
pairment of contract and argued that on in
spection of the several franchises 1t was
apparent that exemption from future
taxation was either expressed or implied in
any of them, and called the attention Of
the court to many decisions not only of the
state courts but of the Supreme Court 10
the effect that where an exemption from
tax IS claimed 1t must appear in the charter
in clear and unmistakable terms; that it
could not be spelled into by inference; that
all the grantees took their charters in view
of the constitutional provision of the state
of New York which gave the legislature the
right to amend or modify any franchise
granted to any corporation, and even
though 1t should be claimed that payments
agreed to be made by the several corpora
tons to the municipality were in the nature
of tax, the legislature had the right to
change modify and bring the special
franchise within the taxing power.
