MAY NOW BE TAXED.
Question Arises in Case Of C. & o.
Canal Company.

After practically three-Quarters Of a
century of exemption from taxation the
question of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company's right to remain entirely
untaxed in the District has arisen, and
judging from appearances the board of
assistant assessors will have this little
nut to crack at an early sitting.
The matter was brought to the Com
missioners' attention in letter by w.
W. Edwards Of this city. He said that
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
owns considerable property in the city
not used for canal purposes and which
has been exempt from taxation for about
seventy years past
Further IN his letter Mr.. Edwards says:
Since this Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company II now public service cor
poration, and, l believe, Is owned and
would seem that II ought to be upon the
same footing with other public service
corporations and to allow It to be ex-
empt from taxation. especially as to the
property owned by It and not used for
canal purposes. 10 great imposition

This suggestion has resulted In q study
Of the situation by Assistant Corporation
Counsel F. H. Stevens. who says 1t was
the intention OF Congress to exempt from
taxation the property OF the canal COM
pany used for canal purposes only He
IL also OF the opinion that any property
OF the company not used In connection
with the canal could be taxed.

nal to determine whether the canal COM

missioner Rudolph has moved that the
board OF assistant assessors be instructed
to call upon the canal company to show
cause why 1t should remain exempt from

Secretary Walcott of the Smithsonian
Institution said today:
"A letter received from Prof. Agassiz
only few days ago stated that he was
on his way home to attend the next an

Sciences, which will be held in this city
April 19. He had intended giving din
ner to his fellow-scientists at that time.
Although 1t was known that Prof.
Agassi was not strong. on account OF his
age and the arduous labors in which he
was engaged. there was no intimation
that his life was in danger. He was on
his way home from Egypt. where he
had been partly on account Of his health.

at Harvard, and director of all the mu-
seums OF natural history at the univer-.
sity.
HE came to this country from Switzer-
land. following his father. in 1s49, when
he was only fourteen years old Later he
entered Harvard and, although always
lover Of natural history, qualified in en-
cheering lines in 1850. Afterward he be-
came connected with the United States
coast and geOdetic survey, where his taste
for deep sea investigation was developed.
In 1850 he became an assistant In the
museum of comparative zoology at Har-
ward. In 1865, in order to secure money
to prosecute his scientific Investigations.
he began the development of the famous
Calumet and Hecla copper mines. from
which his fortune was chiefly derived. 1t
was through the discovery by Prof.
Agass.z of methods whereby the copper
could be taken out OF the mines probably
that the great wealth which they held was
made available. He worked in the mines
himself as young engineer and has al
ways kept up his interest in them, being
president Of the company which owns
them when he died.
Interested in Study Of Sea.
Prof Agassiz always took the deepest
interest In the study of the sea in its
broadcast aspect. especially In marine ami
mails. He was the inspiration and the
leading spirit in all deep sea work ever
undertaken in this country by the govern
ment, and to it he gave literally OF his
own money. He also did a great deal In
q private way In conducting deep sea In
yestigations. The results of his investi-
cations he had illustrated and published
at great expense and widely disseminated
among the scientists of the world.
For years. beginning in 1868, Prof.
Agassiz had the use of coast survey YES
sells to carry on his investigations in the
Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea.
From lS76 to 1881 he was with the deep
sea dredging expedition on the coast
survey steamer Blake. during which time
he conducted scientific investigations.
ITO settle the controversy between the
Dana and Darwin theories of coral for
nation In the Pacific, Prof. Agassiz, on
the fish commissioner steamer Albatross,
collected data from 1899 to 1900. An i'm
mense amount of information on the SUBJ
ject was gathered by him and he finally
wrote a paper In which he discarded, In
part, at least, both theories.
In 1904 he refused gift from Andrew
Carnegie for an expedition to make deep
sea soundngs along the Pacific coast
from lower California to Peru, and paid
all the expenses. amounting to $4,000,
out of his own pocket. 1t was called the
