Voigt was speeding along toward Tenley-
town he noticed the body. and had he not

crushed 1t under the wheels Of the car.
Hall was taken aboard and conveyed to
Georgetown Hospital. where he died short
ly afterward without regainlng conscious
ness. The body was soon after removed
to the District morgue. where autopsy
was made this morning by Deputy Cor
oner Glazebrook to determine the cause OF
death. Considerable trouble was encoun-
tered in Identifying the injured man, and
several hours elapsed before his relatives
were located.
The coroner at first expressed the belief
that the man had been hurt by a moving
car. The autopsy today. however. devel-
oped the fact that undoubtedly the man
was the victim of murderous assault.
His injury was badly fractured skull, and
showed large hole behind the ear such
might have been innicted by blunt
weapon The police are in a Quandary
over the case. but have gone to work to
locate Halls assailant.

is said to have been stolen from E. r.
Simpson, grain dealer at 1888 NJ street,
Georgetown, July 3. Gaines claims he
bought 1t from another party, and a charge
of receiving stolen property was lodged
against him.
The officers got into a lively fight when
they went to arrest Gaines. At his home
Gaines was said to be away, and the officers
were met by colored woman whose name
was not learned. When the officers began
to make a search for the harness the OBJ
streperous coIored lady threatened to do
something serious with a large butcher
knife, which she threw up in front of the
officers. BY main force she was disarmed
and queted The officers then proceeded
with their search and found the missing
harness. Returning the Falls Church
electric car the officers spied Gaines and

CAPITOL DOG CATCHERS.
Operations by the Police Shown in
Report.

The recent dog-catching operations of the
Capitol police as shown by the last re-
port submitted to Acting Captain John
Hammond of the police force in the big
white building on the hill, shows that the
canine industry has diminished cons der
ably since last year. Dogs are not al
lowed to frequent either the Capitol build
ing or the grounds surrounding it. The
law against such invasion by animals Is
an iron-clad one, and covers cats as well
as dogs.
Dogs wearing the official tags of the
District of Columbia are entitled to no
more privileges under this law than are
the taglesS, NANCY, yellow tramp dogs that
roam about promiscuously until captured
by the pound men or the Capitol police.
The only distinction between the dogs
wearing license tags and those without
them is that the latter are promptly sent
to the District pound to be sufocated in
the death cage, while the tagged CANNES
are held at the Capitol and their owners
are notified where they are When the
owners come for their pets they are ad-
monished not to let the animals trespass
on the Capitol parks again. The impris-
oned dogs are then restored to them
The Capitol policemen on duty IN the
parks are provided with a sort of lasso

cats and dogs. wild west fashion. The ca

AUDITORS ESTIMATES
Expense of Keeping District Accounts
for Year

An increase of $3.50 in the running ex-
penses of the office of auditor of the Dis
trict of Columbia during the fiscal wear

annual estimates of Auditor Garrison.
which were submitted to the Commission
ers today. OF those to be benefited with
larger salaries the auditor himself comes
In Tor the best share, although the addi-
ton of Sf00 to his 81, 600 stipend is not car
ried out into the estimate column for the
next fiscal year. Mr.. Garrison, however
calls attention to the fact that in their es-
Inmates for the year ending June 30 1906
the Commissioners were please to recon-
mend $1,000 for the auditors salary and
that official asks that such an estimate be
carried forward to Congress apain tbio
year.
Next among the important salary adj
vances requested is that of Chief Clerk
Aionzo Tweedale, who the auditor would
nave made deputy auditor, and his COM
pensation made $500 instead of 22JO
In view of his long and meritorious
service 1t is recommended that the senior
auditing clerk, Frank Fl. Loving be re-
warded with an addition next year of $500
to his present Loo salary.
Further than in these three cases no ad-
Vances of salary are asked for, but Mr.
Garrison sees need for the emp loyment of
an additional clerk in his office, to De
hiiowH the coupon clerk, and
whose duties shall consist of detachinp
coupons and stamping on the face of each
receipted bill the countersign of the aud

such an employee.
The only additional change the auditor
sees necessary in his Office is the promo
ton of Thomas j. Hartford, the present
messenger at 5000 per annum to clerk al
sIo per annum. and the creation of the
position of laborer," the latter to take up
the duties of messenger. This change will
require another 5000 in the Office payroll.

Effort to Be Made to Settle Labor
Trouble

An attempt will be made at the meeting
of the Central Labor Union at Costellos
hall, 9th and G streets northwest this
evening, to settle the existing differences

HAD A NOTABLE CAREER

Col. Daniel Scott Lamont, Secretary OF
War under President Cleveland. died at his
country home Millbrook. Duchess county
N. Y, at 9:15 o'clock last night after brief
Illness.
That Col. Lamont was i'll was known to
but few of his intimate friends, and these
had no thought his sickness would termi-
nate fatally. Col. Lamont has not been in
the city much during the hot weather, re-
naming at his country place
His death from heart failure In
spite of heroic treatment he died in half an
hour after an attack of his malady.
Col Lamont became a national character
when he came to this city as the private
secretary of President Cleveland. Before
that he had played conspicuous part in
the affairs of New York, but he was little
known outside the boundaries of that state.
But when he entered the White House as
private secretary he at once became known
the political adviser and right hand man
of the President. His personal influence
with the President was by very many peo-
pie regarded beyond that of any MEM
Der of the Cleveland cabinet.
Conspicuous at the White House.
Col. Lamont was especially conspicuous in
his career at the White House, raising the
prestige of the office of private secretary to
a high plane of personal influence. AS a
rule private secretaries of the President
have been clerks and little more. They
have seldom achieved a position for them
selves which has made them the adviser of
