COURT HOLDS ESTATE
LIABLE FOR OLD DEBT
Payment of Semi-Annual Interest
Kept Contract Of Indebted
ness Alive.

The estate of Charles White, who died
several years ago, is Jointly liable with
his son, Charles White, jr., for the pay
ment of 1856 due on promissory notes
held by the Connecticut General Life In
surance Company of Hartford, according
to a decision of the District Court of APP
peals today, which in an opinion by Mr..
Justice Van Orsdel affirmed the judgment
of the lower court.
The executor of the estate contested
the claim on the ground that the statute
of limitations barred the liability Of the
estate, but the evidence showed that
Charles White, jr., the joint maker of
the notes, had paid the regular semt-an-
nual interest on the Indebtedness, and
the trial court held that such action
kept the contract alive. The estate being
jointly liable, the court held it should be
responsible for its share of the indebt-
edness.
In an opinion by Mr.. Justice Van Ors-
del the appellate court also afflrmed the
judgment for 500 damages awarded
Ward w. Griffith against the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company. An employe
Of the plaintiff was driving team at
tached to a coal wagon along N street.
and when attempting to cross the tracks
was struck and killed and the wagon
and team damaged. For this latter dam
age Mr.. Griffith sued.

partment Of Justice.

The. Indictment against Aaron Burr for
treason, a bench warrant for his ap-
prehension, signed by John Marshall, and
a subpoena for Thomas Jefferson, Presi-
dent of the United States, have been filed
in the Department of Justice. The historic
documents, which are in an excellent
state Of preservation, are on their way
to Richmond, Va, as they belong to the
records OF the United States circuit court
there, from which they were actually
served on Burr, when he was tried for
treason in 1907 for attempting to induce
kentucky, Tennessee, the state Of OHIO
and four territories on the Mississippi.
Missouri and Ohio. and part Of Georgia
and the Carolinas to separate from the
Union.
The papers were loaned by order of
Judge Edmund Waddill of the United
States district court at Richmond to Chief
Clerk Field of the Department of Justice
for exhibition at the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition.
Text of the Verdict.
The verdict of the jury says: 1--WE of
the jury find that Aaron Burr is not
proved to be) guilty under the indict-
ment by any evidence submitted to us.
We therefore find him not guilty The
words proved to be- were interlined.
and seemed to have been inserted as an
afterthought.
Burr was not convicted beca use it
could not be proved that he actually
waged war against the United States.
The Constitution declares that treason
against the United States shall consist In

ence to their enemies, giving them aid

The list of witnesses requested by Burr

ANIMALS AT THE zoo

Boycott Doesn't Affect Menu, and
Former Denizens of the For

The animals at the Washington Zoo
do not approve the meat boycott, and
they do not intend to join the movement,
no matter how high the prices may soar
Supt. Baker of the Zoo has given
derstand that their menu will not be
reduced. so far as meat is concerned, and
today he confirmed the statement.

king of beasts in his cake at the Zoo

1t has been stated that on account of
the high cost of living, and particularly
the high cost of meat the authorities
of the Pittsburg zoo intended to put the
animals there on i vegetarian and dog
biscuit diet. But Supt. Baker has nc
sympathy with the movement, and will
not try it on his pets here.
Must Have Meat.
without meat diet he said today. And
the recent increase in the cost of meats
does not affect US at the Zoo any way
for we are getting meat for the animals
under a contract made last May, and
the prices remain the same. The cuts
Of meat we give the animals are the
cheapest that can be had, too. and it is
in the finer cuts of beef that the in
creases have been made for the most
part. The animals seem to thrive jus,
as well on the cheap cuts as they would
upon sirloin steaks and chops. 1t may
be that when we make new contracts
we will be somewhat affected by the
higher price of meat, but even so, we
cannot do without a meat diet for the
animals.

Duties Would Be Heavy.

The use of these words means that all
domestic animals owned by circus must
pay the usual rates Of duty when reim-
ported into the United States. Some of
the larger circuses carry about four hun
dred horses. Although they are frequent
ly described on the bills as "dashing
Arabian steeds,' most OF them are plain
domestic horses from Texas or Oklahoma,
and as such are subject to tariff duties
when they seek to re-enter the United
States after a trip abroad.
Horses valued at $3.50 a head or less
are dutiable at $50 each. while horses
valued at more than $50 must pay % per
cent ad valorem. 1t is estimated tnat big
circus would be put to an expense of up
ward of ST., 900 in duties for the privilege
of including few Canadian cities in its
summer itinerary.
The Senate and House leaders, as well
as the officials OF the Treasury Depart
ment, frankly say that there was no in
tention of striking at circuses when the
words mot including animals were in
serted in the Payne law. The customs
experts have been asked to examine the
question carefully with a view to con-
STRUNG paragraph 500 more literally than
the phraseology seems to permit.

MAY NOT COMPLETE Term
NAVAL OFFICERS TO BE RE.
LEVIED OF BUREAU DUTIES,

master General Rogers will not be per.
mitted to serve out their terms as chiefs
Of the bureau of construction and repair
and the bureau OF supplies and accounts
respectively. Each was appointed by the

to the bureau office now held by him
for a term of four years. Chief Con-
structor Caps term will expire by limi-
tation October 81, 1911: that Of Paymas.

In case they are relieved from their
bureau position and transferred to other
spheres OF duty. Caps and Rogers each
would resume his regular status Of cap.
tain in his corps, with a corresponding
reduction OF pay. In no other way can
they be disciplined or punished except
through conviction by court-martial OF
violation Of the naval regulations. With
reference to their prospective relief from
bureau duty 1t is explained that such
action will not be taken a measure
of discipline. but solely because the two
officers have demonstrated that they are
not in entire sympathy and accord with
the plans of tie Secretary of the Navy
for the reorganization of the naval es-
tablishment, and naturally could not be
expected to contribute their best efforts
toward its successful administration.
May Await Close Of Congress.
1t does not seem to be generally I'M
derstood that to remove these officers
from their bureau posts would not In
volve their elimination from the navy.
They would merely forfeit the rank and
pay which goes with the bureau service
and return to that which they held be-
fore they were selected for their present
places.
It is intimated that the projected
changes may not take place until after
Congress adjourns. During the session OF
that body no appointments to the two
Offices can be made without the consent
Of the Senate.

The Troublesome Clause.

Nobody seems to know just how it hap
pened that the words mot including ami
mails" found their way into paragraph 500
of the Payne law They are there, how
ever, and their presence means that no
American circus manager would be fool
hardy enough to take his show outside of
American territory. Paragraph 800 is
in the free list of the Payne law, and it's
purpose is to provide for the free entry
into the United States of articles which
are returned to this country after export
without having been advanced in value
or improved in condition.
This paragraph of the law was closely
scrutiniZed when the Payne bill was be-
fore Congress. 1t was discussed, and
some objection was made by Senator Dol
liver to the return to the United States
free of duty of animals which were ex-
ported for breeding purposes. Mr.. Dol
liver wanted the phraseology of the
paragraph amended, and through an Err
ror the words mot including animals
were inserted
