Result of Commissions Work.

Result OF commissions w DIX.
The appraisements of this commission,
which was appointed by the Supreme Court
of the District pursuant to the provisions
of an act of Congress in this case.
amounted to S11,1J0, and were submitted to
the Commissioners by A. Leftwich Sinclair,
special counsel for the District. The latter
reported that, according to the evidence
submitted to the commission on behalf OF
the District the benefits and advantages
that have resulted TO this property by rea-
son of the establishment of the new union
station majority of the cases equal or
exceed the damages due to the change of
grade. assuming that the change of grade
had resulted in total destruction of the
improvements. He also said that in sew
eral cases the claimants themSelve gave
evidence which showed that the benefits
were equal to if not in excess of the
damages.
The matter was referred to Capt. ]. ].
Morrow, assistant eng lneer commissioner.
He reported to the Commissioners yester-
day that this block or square in question,
is the first property to be considered by the
grade damage commission in the vicinity of
the new union station plaza.
Benefits Greater Than Reported.
TT is undoubted," Capt Morrow said,
that the benefits in this block and others
in this vicinity especially to the westward
of the plaza, are great, and. in the opinion
of the engineer office, much greater than
have apparently been found by the COM
mission The evidence produced before the
commission by the corporation counsel for
the District showed an increase in value
ranging from 81 10 per square foot to $2.44
per square foot, and the expert testimony
submitted by the claimants did not dispute
this increase.
I'm a great many cases." continued Capt.
Morrow, Testimony was given showing
how the property could be adapted to the
new grade and changed into a. character
suitable for business occupancy at a small
expense"
1t was upon his recommendation that the
Commissioners decided to instruct the cor
poration counsel to take steps to have
jury appraise the damages in conformity
with the grade damage act.

Washington, Feb. 10-The introduc-

Smoot of Utah was closed by the pro-
testants' counsel during the day A.
S. Worthington, who represents the
senator, said he was not ready to pro-
ceed, put that he would communicate
with Chairman Burrows within few
days. The character of the evidence
offered this session, said Mr.. Worth
ington, had convinced him of the de-
STABILITY of calling witnesses for the
defense with reference to the list of
members or the Utah constitutional
committee, members of the legisla-
ture and state officers, charged to have
been poiygamists. Mr.. Worthington
said that it might be necessary to call
from 100 to 200 witnesses to disproye
the testimony of the prosecution un-
less the committee permitted the filing
of afidavits. He said that Senator
Smoot was anxious that the case
should be closed and that there should
not be one day Of avoidable delay

Being Returned.
Portland, Ore, Feb. 1G.-According
TO the statements of DR.. N. Mosesohn,
aaprominent a Jew of Portland, whose
assertions are corroborated in u
measure by the local postoff1ce Off
Gals, a large amount of money sent
from the United States to aid Jewish
sufferers iii Russia has never been re-
ceiVed by those for whom it was in
tended. 1t is stated that there has
been a general failure of the post
offices throughout Russia to cash
postal money orders which have been
sent to Jews in that country and many
of these money orders have been re.
turned to the senders with state
ment that they could not be cashed.
The letters accompanying the returned
orders recite various reasons for their
being dishonored, one Of which is
that orders have been issued from ST.
Petersburg to refuse payment Of them
because the money is for the purpose
Of aiding the revolutionist cause.

ent Whiteside Of the money order de-

Secretary Taft Asks for Additional
Barracks at Manila.
Washington, Feb. 10.-When Secre
tary Taft was before the senate com.
mittee on appropriations which was
considering the urgent deficiency bill,
he requested -an appropria Of $780,
600 to be expended for additional bar
racks and quarters for the army at or.
near Manila. When asked as to the
necessity for this appropriation he
stated that the situation in China was
such that it might be necessary at any
time to send troops there and that it
would be wise to have troops near to
be used for that purpose. The com
mittee did not think it expedient to
make the appropriation at this time.
The report when presented will recon-
mend that the request be referred to
the committee on the Philippines as it
is thought by some senators that the
matter is of such Importance that the
committee on the Philippines should
take it up and consider it.

In his letter Mr.. Wilcox points out
that the anthracite miners are receiv-
ing more than the soft coal miners in
wages. He says that his personal opin-
ion is that the operators cannot go be-
yond the award of the anthracite
strike commission, which gave liberal
terms to the miners. The eight-hour
Workday cannot be conceded and the
present demands are looked upon as
impossible. II they were granted the

Federal Control of Insurance Subject
of Discussion.

of Discussion.
Washington, Feb. 10.-Acting under
instructions of the house the judiciary
committee has begun an investigation
in order that it may report whether or
not congress has the power to provide
federal control of insurance That
this authority does exist was main
tanned by r. w. Breckenridge of
Omaha, chairman of the insurance
committee OF the American Bar asso-
citation. At the August meeting Of
this association at Narragansett Pier
Mr.. Breckenridge made a motion to
have his committee instructed by the
association to prepare a bill providing
such control. The opposite view of
the question was presented to the
committee by George Whitelock of
Baltimore. The Bar association, by
vote Of 113 to 20, sent to it's insurance
committee for consideration a resolu-
tion declaring federal control of insur-
ance illegal and unconstitutional un-
der the decisions Of the supreme court
Of the United States
Mr.. Whitelock was the author of
that resolution and presented that
view to the committee. Mr. Brecken-
ridge presented statistics to show
that the insurance business was ma
tional and not local in character. Of
twenty OF the largest life insurance
companies, he said, but Is per cent of
their business was done in the states
wherein they were chartered.
