MUST PAY WATER TAX
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS nx-
E1GPTED FROM GENERAL LEVY.

The attitude OF the District government
toward the embassies and legations of for
eIsn governments located within the capt.
tai, In so far as assessments for various
kinds of taxes are concerned, Is set forth at
considerable length in formal opinion OF
the corporation counsel which has just
been forwarded to the Commissioners. A
copy of the finding will be transmitted to
the State Department and thence to the
Cuban legation It seems that the points at
issue were raised recently by the Cuban
minister in series OF memoranda left at
the State Department and subsequently sent
to the District building by Assistant Sec
retary Robert Bacon. The questions to
which Senor Quesada asked particular an
swers included the following:
Doe6 q house owned by foreign govern
ment In the District OF Columbia pay any
taxes whatever, water taxes, etc? How in
case OF minister who buys a house for
himself and lives there and has the office
of the legation In the house? Is q minister
who rents the house obliged to pay water
taxes or any other to the District OF Co.
lumbar"
Quoting authorities to sustain each point.
Corpora tton Counsel e. H. Thomas an
swered that "a house owned by a foreign
government is exempt from payment of
general taxes. but is not exempt from
payment of water rent" To the second
query the District law officer replies that
such "a house Is exempt from general taxes
whether owned by the minister or his gov
ernment. but water rent must still be paid
and the minister Is further liable to special
assessments for improvements, because the
language of the act Of Congress in this ex-
empts only property owned by foreign
governments
The last question is answered by the
statement that the minister who rents a
house is obliged to pay water taxes, but not
taxes on personal property" and, further,
that 1T is not customary in this District
for a tenant renting a house to agree to
pay general or special assessment taxes, SO
that the question as to his liability there
for would hardly arise

PEACE MONUMENT SUGGESTED
Tribute Proposed to President Roose
velt's Peace Victory.

The remarkable tribute paid to Theodore
Roosevelt in London recently in connec-
tion with the lord mayors parade has d.
rected attention here to a suggestion en-
anating from Mr.. J. Selwin TAFT of this
city that the triumph of the President as a
peacemaker be perpetuated by the erection
in the capital city of a magnificent Roose-
Velt Temple of Peace. The author of that
project feels that there will be no difficulty
in raising by public subscription a fund
suffcient to erect structure In every re-
spect worthy of the triumph at Portsmouth,
The suggestion is that there be erected a
building of heroic proportions to be usad
for conventions and meetings of national
Importance and to be of rich design, with
perhaps symbolic of the success of Pres
ident Roosevelt in tightening the bonds of
brotherhood between the north and south.

TO PRESENT ONE TO NATION.

Mr.. w. T. Hornaday. director OF the New
York geological Park. arrived In town yes
terday to make a formal offer on behalf OF

to the government to be placed on the

The society believes that the American
bison can be reserved from final extinction
only through the maintenance Of several
large herds in a half-wild state on ample
grazing grounds and under government
ownership and control Already one such
herd has been started in the Yellowstone
Park, and the friends of the buffalo believe
that other herds should De established in
other localities Immediately.
Mr.. Hornaday has for twenty years made
close study Of the American bison, and
his report to the Smithsonian Institution on
the practical determination of that animal
has long been a fertile source of informa-
ton. He declares that It Is impossible TO
save the species from extinction by breed

temperance instruction, class of pu-
pills was put through an oral drill of
hygiene Prof. II. b. Hayden. super
intendent of the city schools, made a
brief address on total abstinence and
hygiene as taught in the public schools.
He pointed out that the course of
study in the city schools requires a
textbook with a certain number of
pages devoted to alcohol in connection
with physiology, and that the teachers
are required to devote certain time to
the instruction on the evil effects of al
cohol in the system.
The program concluded with an al
dress by Dr. Edwards, and a demon
company he represents. DIR. Edwards
made the statement tnat the appetite
for liquor frequently comes from the
use of pepper, spices, and pickles to
be found on the table in the home. He
was emphatic in this statement, and
said that many times the appetite of a
son could be traced directly TO his own
mothers table. He talked about the
saloon free lunch, and the use of mus
tarsl and pepper sauces in making the
sandwiches used for the lunches in
the saloon. His assistants then passed
through the audience with the health
foods" DIR. Edwards explaining that
this demonstration was not made with
a commercial view, but merely to show
that food can be prepared along pure
ly scientific lines. and be as pleasing
TO the taste as the ordinary foods"
