BLEW OUT THE CAS-.
Suicide Was a Member of New York
Thirteen Club.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 19.-After writing
his sons name on the back Of pink cir
cular Of the Thirteen Club, of which the
ola man was a member, John Mills sixty-
five years old. an employe OF the Post Of
flce Department, blew out the gas In his
room at 800 West 1920 street last night and
was dead when Mrs. John Snyder his land
lady, found him at 6:45 O'Clock this morn
ing.
According to the literature of the Thirteen
Club. which was found In the room, Mills
was prominent in its affairs and served on
Its reception committee. The name he had
written on the pink slip was Homer G.
Mills. 42O 10th street, Brooklyn and on the
back Of the circular, which was dated July
T. 1885, the printed matter began with the
familiar salute Of the gladiators in the
Roman amphitreater Of old:
'Morituri Te Selutamus"
The circular went on to tell Of an elabor-
ate dinner the fifty-fourth affair Of its kind
which was to be held IN the near future
and requested the presence of all the Thir-
teen Club men to'malke 1t a success.
Then there occurred this paragraph: "A
peculiar responsibility is invested in those
who were present at the dinner Of one year

superstition. 1t is therefore incumbent upon
such participants to be present at the re-
currence of the yearly dinner or send word
to the scribe that he Is In the land Of the
living. Otherwise he will be pronounced
dead"

TO EQUALIZE TAX RATE.
Assessor Grifan's Report Before Com
missioner West Soon

The detailed report of E. w. w Griffin.
assessor of the District. upon a rigid inves-
tigatiOn he and his assistant assessors
have instituted during the past week into
the assessed valuations Of the various
holdings of the public utility corporations

today had been expected Mr.. Griffin

hands of Commissioner West by Wednes-
day.

word from the two local gas compan MES

discovered to be escaping taxation or from
the Potomac Electric and Power Company
regarding certain sworn information in
connection with its service conduits and

report to Commissioner West will strong

AUTHORITY IN GOLF.
Suggestion Made as to the "Royal
and Ancient"

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GLASGOW, August 19.-That well-known
golf authority and player, Mr.. w. Herbert
Fowler. has put forward some interesting
suggestions to the government Of the
game. Mr.. Fowler advocates the extension
of the powers delegated to the rules COM
mittee or to a new and larger committee so
that one or other might have control Of the
game. The conditions under which the
championships are played should, he urges,
be in the hands of this committee. At
present there is way for clubs or
individual golfers to bring suggestions for
alterations in the conditions. and Mr.. Fow-
Ter puts the situation In focus thus: If the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club would appoint
a golf committee Of, say, thirty members
and hand over TO 1t the whole control Of the
game there Is little doubt that the Clubs
which are now interested in the manage
ment Of the championships would hand
over their duties to such a body. The
membership of the Royal and Ancient club
is so embracing that all the leading clubs
could easily be represented upon such a
committee. Powers could also be given to
the golf committee to appoint subcommit-
tees to deal with local matters in various
parts of the ktngdom-a subcommittee for
London and the south, one for the west
one for the midlands. one for the north Of
England one for Ireland, one for the east
and one for the west Of Scotland. Powers
to their numbers In any districts where
members Of the Royal and Ancient were in
sufficient. AS matter of fact. such a pro-
vision would probably be found to be un-
necessary. The golf committee as a whole
should meet at least twice a year at St.
Andrews and also at the championships
The reports Of the subcommittees would
tend to keep the club in touch with the
trend of golfing opinion in all parts Of the
country. At present there Is a strong feel
Ing in many districts that the club does no,
sufficiently take the lead There is no
great body of opinion in favor of curtail-
ing or taking away altogether the authority
of the club. but there is a very strong de-
sire that 1t should step forward and show
the golfng world that 1t is not only capa-
BILE. but also willing. to assume a more di-
rect control Of the game than it has hither-
to done"
To preserve any game in its best and
truest sense there must be a feeling of
government somewhere, and, as every one
knows. the tendency at the present time is
to drift,

DOG TAG FOR 800 RATS.
Elliot Woods Has Champion Canine
Rodent Collector.

"A free tag for my dog pleads Elliot Woods;
He's perfectly wonderful ratter.
Three hundred rodents in six short days
This Is really reliable data
one of the most skillful canine rat CATCH
ers at large in the District makes his home
IN the Capitol buildings and grounds, ac-
cording to Elliott Woods, superintendent
Of that famous building, and because Of
these talents on the part of the dog he has
requested the Commissioners of the Dis
trict to issue a dog tag to him free of
charge. The usual price for a tag is 81
but Superintendent Woods thinks his fox
terrier should be honored with tag gratis.
In requesting this favor Mr.. Woods says
he understands there is a free list in con-
nection with dogs kept in government build
1ngs for rat-catching purposes. Mr.. Woods
mentioned for the benefit Of the Commits
sioners that his terrier has killed 800 rats
at the Capitol in the last six days. and he
thinks such valuable government servant
should be rewarded with a free tag.
The communication was referred to Col
lector of Taxes Davis, who stated today
that he issues free tags to dogs kept at
the police and fire stations for rat-killing
purposes, but that he Is not aware of the
free list being extended to the various gov
ernment departments. The Commissioners
have made no decision in the case.
