professional adjusters. The amount of

fire insurance is governed by the value
of the property, and when a strike oc-

IN RESPECT TO MEMORY
TRIBUTE TO JUSTICE BREWER

Eulogy by Attorney r. Ross Perry.
His Motion to Adjourn

A high tribute to the character and
life OF the late Justice David J. Brewer
of the Supreme Court was paid by r
Ross Perry of the District bar when he
formally announced the death Of Justice
Brewer to the chief justice of the Dis
trict Supreme Court yesterday. Chief
Justice Clabaugh Immediately granted the
motion made by Mr. Perry that the court

announce his death.

Il have been associated with Judge
Brewer in the administration OF an edu-
cational institution which in a sense is
a charitable institution. inasmuch as 1t
provides education for those who have
been deprived OF two very vital faculties

Trouble for Accounting Officers.

The veterans of the House of Repre-
sentatives and the executive departments
will doubtless remember Judge Durham,
who served for several terms as the rep
Preventative of a district in Kentucky and
was afterward appointed controller OF
the treasury by President Cleveland. The
judge took an exalted view OF his duties
and responsibilities. and made more
trouble for paymasters and disbursing
officers and people who had business
with the government than any man who
ever held that Office.
| The controller Of the treasury. as you
know. is required to construe the mean
ing Of appropriation bills and decide
whether the disbursement of government
money is legally and properly done. He
and his clerks go over the accounts after
they have been examined by the auditors,
and often disallow the expenses of gov
ments OF money on technicalities. And
the decision of the controller on ques-
tions of expenditure Is final. He cannot
be overruled by the President himself.
Indeed, the President has no more author
ity over him than he has over the
Supreme Court of the United States, so
long as he permits him to remain In
office. The President cannot remove
justice. but he can remove a con-
troller whenever he chooses, and appoint
some else in his place.
Armed with this authority, Judge Dur
ham made heap of trouble. remember
the case of the South American commits
sion: sent out by President Arthur, which
expended about $4,000 for railway and
steamship fares and hotel expenses. All
of the bills were formerly approved by
Mr.. Bayard, who was then Secretary OF
State, and they went through the audit
or's Office without Criticism, but when
they reached Controller Durham he
disallo~ed practically everything upon
the slimmest technicalities.
