Southern Official Will Remain,
Declares J. N. Culp.
Vice President of system OmeiaIIy
Passenger Traffic Manager.

That Samuel II. Hardwick. passenger
traffic manager of the Southern Railway,
has resigned is denied BY the officials Of
the company.
The rUmor became current in New York
on Monday and in Washington yesterday.
and it was stated a number of times that
his resignation had been rendered to the
company.
II so, it has again been withdrawn. for
officials of the company state here that
the publication in New York of his with
drawal from the road has no foundation.
and all Of them profess TO be at loss to
understand how such a story could have
originated. Mr. Hardwick is not IN
Washington. having been gone since last
Thursday. and although he has been IN
communication with the general offices
here. it could not be learned when he
will return.
The New York Commercial yesterday
morning printed the following denial Of
the resignation:
j. n Culp. vice president o. the
Southern, said yesterday that there was

Mr. Culp. IN common with others.
keenly regrets the Injustice done To MI
Hardwick IN the announcement. and is

reliable, and has usually been found so.

Gathered before the Headquarters Cot
tage Monday night, the children, mothers,
and faithful workers at Camp Good win

on Jesus and the Children" and What
Children Can Do" the dual theme OF the
evening. When Mr.. King. pastor OF
Bethany, led in a brief prayer every head
was bowed. and the scene-in the open.
under the sky and the trees-was very
impressive.
The little folks enjoyed the songs by
the choir-the male chorus. and a duet
and solo, as well as the instrumental
music-showing their pleasure in happy
smiles. They had been romping all day,
and were about ready for bed when the
visitors arrived. but not one would miss
the entertainment II may be they were
too tired to be noisy. but certainly they
were happy.
The finding Of Baby Barker was men
toned several times. This heart-toucbing
incident was in the mind OF every one
present, old and young. When one Of the
speakers asked how many little folks
aided in the search for Baby Barker. every
hand went Up. little and big. and every
face shone with pleasure. The children
decided readily that they were so happy at
finding the baby because they had done
something for somebody" And every one
Of them expressed a determination TO al
ways be on the lookout for opportunities
to purchase happiness by helping along
the "otheT fellow" They also said they
would show their appreciation OF Camp
Good Win by trying TO help the workers
in every little way possible
At the close of the meeting the little
folks shook hands happily with the Wis
itors, and fled of quietly to their tents,
after expressing the hope that you folks

Meat Label Manufactured Here to

Be Used In the Dominion.
The Howard label. a device for mark
ing dressed and cured meats. inverted by
a WashingtOnian. and manufactured here.
has been officially adopted by the Domin-
ion of Canada. George Z. Howard, of III
Twelfth street. the inventor, was SO no
tilted yesterday by J. II Rutherford,
veterinary director general, of~Ottawa-
In the course of the letter notifying Mr..
Howard that the Canadian authorities had
signed IL contracts. Mr.. Rutherford says:
Il should be glad If you can arrange to
let Us have these labels as early as pos
sible. as the Dominion is a big country
81 79-oe Of them have to be sent con-
siderable distance in order TO be available
on September 3. the date on which We
hope to commence operations under the
new act" The letter also gives Mr. How
ard the abattoir numbers fixed by the
Dominion government. and affots the first
order Of labels among the several in
stituhons.
This order IS especially gratifying to
me" said Mr.. Howard, mot only as the
the Howard Label Company In the lat
ter capacity 1 have had supervision over
the shops here in Washington. and the
more extensively the labels are used, the
more employment there Is for Washing
ton workpeOple. At present we have on
our rolls 100 men and girls If other na-
tons follow the Example Of Canada, as
we have reason to believe they will, these
numbers viii, OF course. be greatly in
creased.
DR.. Rutherford and his associates did
not choose the Howard label without
spending abundant time examining all
other devices for marking meats Their
decision has the force you see, OF a Ger
tificate to the label Of complete efficiency,
and merit superior TO that OF any other
such device. This Is the view which has
led the municipal authorities Of several
American cities TO adopt it Cleveland.
Denver, Ogdensburg, \. Y. and Atlanta

believe that two other countries. larger

RAISE RAILROAD TAX
Assessors Refuse to Accept
Pennsy'S Valuation.
EXAMINE ALL CORPORATIONS
Investigation Being Made
tO Establish Full Worth of All
Properties-TeIcEraD Telephone,
and street Railway Companies to
Come ia for share of OverhauIing.

Notwithstanding the impression given to
Commissioner West by Assessor z. ". w.
Griffin to the effect that the public utility
corporations are, with the exception of
the gas companies, paying their full quota
of taxes, it developed yesterday that the
board of assistant assessors is making a
rigid examination into the affairs of these
corporations with a view Of determining
beyond doubt whether the properties are
properly assessed.
Declining to accept the statement Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company that the
valuation of its trackage within the Dis
trict of Columbia is $1,000 a mile, the as
SCISSORS, after investigating this item. have
notified the company that the tax on the
main tracks for 1903 will be at the rate of
$4,000 mile. The valuation of side tracks
has been correspondingly increased That
the assessment will not be made for the
three years preceding is due only TO the
fact that the old tracks on which the tax
has already been paid have been removed.
This added valuation is not. as in the
instance Of the gas companies. due TO
the fact that the assessors have over
looked a portion OF the taxable property
of the corporation, but simply that they
do not accept the statement Of the rail-
road company as to the value Of its
trackage-
Investigating All Corporations.
The assessors say the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is now making satisfac-
tory statements as to the value Of its
new tracks.
The assessors are now investigating
the statements Of the Potomac Electric
Power Company for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning whether assessments have been
made against the conduits and meters Of
that company, corresponding TO the added
taxation on the pipes and meters of the
gas companies. If it is found that the
same conditions obtain. similar action as
in the case Of the gas companies viii be
followed, the assessment reverting 10 the
three preceding years.
The telegraph, telephone. street rail-
way and, in fact. all public service cor
pOrations. VIII come in for a share OF
the general investigation. according to
the statement of a member of the board
of assistant assessors yesterday.
No Answer from Gas Companies.
The assessors have as yet received no
communication from the gas companies
in answer TO their notification as TO an
increase in taxes
in the event that they are not paid
by March next, which condition Of affairs
is not considered probable by the board
Of assistant assessors, their property will,

tised and sold for delinquent taxes as

Young Negro Arrested for sTuIcting
Apartment House Employees.

hUuSE EHnUkONeS.
Up until yesterday afternoon. James
Davis. an employe at the Highlands
Apartments. who lives at 237 o street

moter Of the greatest money-mdking

ployed as pantry boy at the apartments.

all marketing and produce sent TO the

livered it was his duty to take a slip from
the Office of the establishment, to be

was then to present this slip again at the
Office and receive the money, taking II to
the man who had brought the articles.
James especial mode Of money making
while you watt was IN the egg business.
For some time the clerks at the hotel
Office noticed that the pantry attendant
was submitting an unusually large num-
Der of bills for eggs, and Of late sus-
pected that something wrong was going
on. Yesterday, when James was seen with
a tradesmans slip in his hand, Detective
Green, Of the Tenth precinct. was put on
his track. and startling disclosures re-
suited.
AS usual. James started from the Office
with the slip as if on his way to get II
signed by a waiting merchant. On reach
ing the pantry, however. James quietly
affixed the signature Of c. 3. Smith to the
slip and then started back TO collect the
money.
At this point Detective Green. who had
been watching his movements, stepped
forward and informed the sstonished man
that he was under arrest.
When the clerks in the apartment of
fee looked over their books. they. found
that in all $50 had been paid out to this
