DEFENDS HIS CLAIM
DR.. Rand Insists He Was First to
Volunteer in War Of 81.

Submitting copy OF an afhdavit which
states that he volunteered as a soldier
in the civil war at Batavia, n. Y, with
in ten minutes after the receipt Of the
telegram announcing President Lincoln 8
call for volunteers. April Is, 1861" DR..
Charles r. Rand today made reply to the
statement of Mr.. J. T. Ford, which APP
peared in The Sunday Star. Mr.. Ford
claimed that the honor of being the first
volunteers in the civil war belongs to
the National Rifles of the District of Co.
lumbia, and not to DIR. Rand. as claimed
by him. In reply DIR. Rand says:
MIR. ]. T. Ford has given accurately
my record except in two facts which
feel it is necessary to explain. Mr..
Ford says I was enrolled May I. 1851. and
mustered in May Is at Elmira. which is
true as far as mastering in goes. Ba-
tavia is a small village and we did not
raise q company in one day. May ! six
ty-two men were mustered. and we were
two weeks in raising the company. We
could not be recognized as soldiers until
we were mustered in. which was on that
date We lad at that time no place in
the service and had no assignment We
waited to see If there was a vacancy In
some regiment that wanted company to
fill out At last news came that the 18th
New York Volunteers. at Syracuse. need
ed us and we were mustered into that
regiment May IL. as Company h.
NY claim as the first volunteer in the
war of the rebellion has never been dis
proved and never can be. unless some one
can give better evidence than ! can show.
When that is done / will gladly yield the
palm. Men. q number Of them, claimed to
have volunt eered Immediately after Sum-
ter was fired upon, which no doubt Is true
in which case they were three days ahead
of me. They enlisted In the militia
There were no volunteers at that time
II did not volunteer until was was de-
clared. and volunteers called for by Pres.-
dent Lincoln the 18th of April. 1891. The
militia was called into service before I
volunteered The Sd Battalion OF the
National Rifles. which was called into
service April q. was six days ahead Of
me. This claim IL gOOd-I acknowledge
the fact. but it does not in any way In
terfere with my claim. They were al
ready in the service before the war OPEN
ed.
II hope this explanation will convince
Mr.. Ford that was the first volunteer in
the war of the rebellion. I think the War
Department records show no volunteer
whose medal was dated previous to April
49, 1861. the date of my medal. I will

PROPERTY TO BE ASSESSED.
Application for Remission Denied
hv the Commissioners.

The Commissioners Are in receipt of "a
communication from William 8: Crowdy,
who styles himself as Prophet of the
Church of God and Saints Of Christ" in
which he asks why his property at 4th
street and New York avenue northwest,
which he claims Is used for religious pur-
poses is assessed for taxes. He contends
that his property should be exempt. as
other places of religious worship are.
> e. w. w. Griffin. assessor of the Dis
trict, to whom the Commissioners referred
the matter. thinks differently. After
carefully investigating the case. he has
recommended that the application for ex-
emption be denied. In his report to the
Commissioners Mr.. Griffin said the Or
sanization IL composed Of colored people
who appear to have no connection with
any other religious body.
The records show that the PROPERTY in
question, which Is valued at $7,4OO. il
owned in an individual capacity by
Drophet William 8. Crowdy. and not as
trustee for the organization. The tax
upon this property 10 SIP. and. because
it has not been paid it has been adver-
tised for sale. ~
The Commissioners have approved the
made by Assessor Griffin
that the request of the prophet be denied,
and he will be notified to that effect.
