CONTROLLER DECIDES
PURCHASE OF AUTOMOBILE FoR
ASSESSOR NOT AUTHORIZED.

The controller Of the treasury has In
formed the District Commissioners that
the purchase of an automobile for the Dis
trict assessors Office is not authorized by
law. The controller says:
by your reference of communication
from Mr.. II. H. Darneille, assessor OF the
District of Columbia, you request my de-
cision of the question whether the purchase
Of an automobile for the use OF the asses
sor's office, to be paid for from the appro-
priation for contingent and miscellaneous
expenses of the government of the District
of Columbia, contained in the act of March
8, 1905, Is authorized. This appropriation
contains an item as follows: For livery,
purchase and care of horses and carriages
or buggies not otherwise provided for
think the word Carriages as used in this
provision does not include an automobile.
The word carriage Is sometimes used N
general sense which includes all wheeled
vehicles for carrying persons. But 1t is
ordinarily used in a more restricted sense,
which applies only to wheeled vehicles for
carrying persons that are drawn by one Or
more horses.
All Means of Transportation.
1.-THE assessor states in his commun ca
ton that an automobile was purchased un-
der the provision in paragraph 10, section q,
of the act Of July /, 1902: That the Com
missioners Of the District of Columbia be,
and they are hereby, authorized TO
pay six thousand dollars for
means of transportation, and other incl
dental expenses.
And he appears to think that subsequent
appropriations, including that for hoi ses
and carriages, in the act of March 3, 1905,
SUPRA should be construed as intended to
provide for all means of transportation as
provided for in the act of July /, 1902, supra.
Il cannot concur with him in this view.
It is to be presumed that if Congress had
intended to provide in the later appropr a
tions for all means of transportation the
same language would have been used.
Where in subsequent appropriation, the
language used in a former appropriation is
materially changed, such change implies a
change of intention.
Il have therefore, to advise you that the
purchase of an automobile IS not author
lied by the above appropriation

HOTEL GOSSIP
Territory Prospects Bright

"Indian territory is a good place for
one to stay away from unless he is
willing to go there and make it his
permanent home" said r. c. Cum
ningham, a leading business man of
Lehigh, 1. T., at the Van Nuys yes
terday.
"For those however, who are seek
ing q new location and will forego
for few years some of the comforts
of more thickly settled regions, 1t
offers many opportunities"
Mr. Cunningham has lived in that
portion of the United States since boy
hood and is closely identified with the
growth of the territory
1.-THE man who comes there" he con-
tinued, ito invest his money will find
a favorable field. There is plenty of
room for all kinds of business enter
rrises and the agricultural possibili-
ties of the territory are great.
when a portion of the territory was
thrown open to settlers two years ago,
O great many persons came and there
has been a small but steady increase
since. Farmers have settled there in
considerable numbers of late months
and the number of stores and mercan-
tile houses has not increased in pro-
portion.
There is an excellent opening 1or
business men. But the one who puts
his money there will not reap the re-
wards unless he remains and gives his
interests personal supervision.
'I have known many come to Le-
high and other towns in the territory,
establish q business and after a few
months spent in the territory, go away
and expect some one else to make
their interests pay for them. They
have always been losers in the end.
"The conditions in Indian Territory
are different from most localities and
it requires a great deal of persever-
ance and planning and direct personal
supervision co make Il go of anything
there.
"If one is willing to bestow this per-
sonal attention for few years, until
the business is well established, the
resulting benefits are large. 1t may
be harder to get started there than in
other parts of the country, but the
advantages accruing in the end will,

LIKED BOHEMIAN
LIFE, SAYS WIFE
MRS. ELLA HYDE GRANTED A
DECREE OF DIVORCE
Los Angeles Dentist Said He Did Not
Want to Be Tied Down to Domestic
Life, According to Testimony
of His Spouse

Mrs. Ella Hyde, wife of DR.. Edwin c.
Hyde, dentist with offices in the john
son block, was granted an interlocutory
decree of divorce from her husband by
Judge Trask in department four of the
superior court yesterday afternoon.
The couple were married in Los An
geles June 81, 1891. Two years ago
Hyde is alleged to have left his wife
and two-year-old boy and to have
rented apartments for himself.
According to allegations of his wife,
he said when he left her that he did
not want to be tied down to the duty
of caring for family and that he pre-
ferred to lead bohemian existence.
Mrs. Hyde was reticent about giving
any of her family troubles, but upon
the persistent questionings of the judge
she admitted that there was another
woman in the case.
The baby boy has been adopted by
Mrs. Mildred c. Titus of Oakland, sister
of Mrs. Hyde.

The Olive Industry

1.-THE olive industry is only, at ITS
commencement in this state" SAID
Julian Adams, a prominent Southern
California fruit grower, at the Angelus
yesterday.
"That Industry has had checkered
career in California. Much money has
been put into 1t and a great deal less
taken out. To many growers the mere
mention of olives recalls time when
they spent hard earned dollars In set
ling out trees with the hope of big re-
turns and after waiting patiently -FOUR
or five years until the bearing period
arrived, found they had made mis-
take and their money and time ana
land had been wasted.
"But now the experimental stage has
been passed and the intelligent grower
can set out his land to olives with a
reasonable assurance that he will make
money on them. I have been through
it all myself and have learned the
lesson.
For the grower who uses care in
selecting the variety best adapted to
our soil and who shows a moderate
regard for the scientific phases of olive
growing, there is certain to be sub
stantial and material returns"

TRAVELLING SALESMAN IS
FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL
HEART FAILURE SAID TO BE THE
CAUSE OF DEATH
G. M. Woodford, Representing New
York Music House, Dies After At
tending Mexican Dinner Thursday
Night With Party of Friends

G.. M. Woodford, a travelling sales
man for the Weber Aeolian company of
New York, was found dead in his bed
at the Westminster hotel yesterday
at noon.
A few minutes before the corpse was
found an unidentified man called the
clerk of the hotel by telephone to in
quire as to the health of Mr.. Woodford.
The clerk attempted to call Wood
ford, but no response was made to
knocks on the door and the unidentified
inquirer was so informed. He refused
to give his name or telephone number.
AS the key to the room was not In
the cabinet kept for that purpose, the
management of the hotel became sus-
picious and broke in the door.
Woodford's body was found upon the
bed and hasty examination revealed
that he was dead.
Orr & Hines, undertakers, were noti-
fed and the body was given in their
charge. An examination conducted at
the undertaking establishment failed to
disclose any evidence of other than a
natural death and it is believed death
was the result of heart failure.
However, Police Detectives Jones and
