000 The new assessment on the home
of Clarence Moore, in Massachusetts, ave-
nue., has been fixed at $4,000. Other big
property assessments. picked at random
and for which no checking figures are
Immediately available, are the Draper
residence, $4,000: Stoneleigh Court, $780,
600; the Shoreham Hotel, $500, 900; the
New Willard Hotel. LOCO; the Colorado
Building, $i5o,o00; the Larz Anderson res
idence, s2J0.OO. and all Of these bear
also land assessment Of from one-fifth
to one-half the value of the improve
ments.
The rolls, of course, are filled with
properties in connection with which a
large percentage Of the value could be
easily and no doubt correctly determined.
For instance, q house at 749 Church
street is assessed at $4,000, a house at
l4G2 r street at $I.700: a residence at
1873 l street at 5000, 1T42 U street at
$1,000, ISL S street at 1,3O0-al with
commensurate land assessments at
tached.
In Washington, as in every city. there
is much contention as to assessed values.
The charges OF Representative Bennett
are bound to stir up support as well as
denial among the. citizens Of the Ma
tons Capital No doubt the figures of
the assessor will be closely scanned
within the coming few weeks.

PUBLIC DOCUMENT
SCORES SENATORS
Effort Will Be Made to Re-
call the Article.

There was considerable commotion in
the Senate yesterday when the fact be-
came known that three members Of that
body are fiercely denounced in public
document that came from the Public
Printer, and which was published at the
request of a Senator.
The Senators stigmatized in this gov
eminent publication are not mentioned
by name. but their identity is apparent
One Is referred to as "a notorious dema-
gogue," another as "a devotee Of the
citizen who is distinguished only for his
riches and the generosities with which
he debauched the electorate"
These structures upon the Senators are
contained in a speech delivered by AL
bert A. Daub before the Maryland Bar
Association In the course of a discus
sion on the election of United States
Senators. Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire, Is responsible for the publica-
ton Of the speech as a public document.
and 1t Is said that he is unconscious OF
the fact that it contained any reference
TO the three Senators when he obtained
the consent of the Senate for the publ
cation.
II Senator Gallifger does not ask for
the recall Of the speech and the destruc-
tons of the documents already in print.
II Is NkeIy that one OF the three Senators
involved will bring the matter to the at
tention Of the Senate.
Two years ago Senator Foraker, Of
Ohio. at the suggestion Of a friend. OBJ
tained the consent of the Senate to pub
lish as document q speech containing .
bitter attack upon Vice President Fair
banks. This was not known until after
the publication of the document. when
Senator Foraker apologized to the Sem
ate. explaining that he had been I'm
posed upon.
Here is a portion Of the Daub speech
that reflects on the three members Of the
Senate:
TN one Southern State the electors re.
Gently repudiated its most eminent citi.
zen, who had made q distinguished record
for ability and achievement in the Senate.
and selected In his place a notorious
demagogue: In another. q man, who for
years had been the leader OF his party in
the House. only escaped defeat at the
hands Of blatherslite by the margin Of
. few hundred votes. In . Northern
State the people selected . Republican
Senator whose chief claim to fame il his
devotion to the vagaries Of populism. and
then chose as his associate. under the IN
huency of bribery. a citizen who II dis.
tinguished only for his riches and the
generosity with which he debsuched the
electorate"

L
trict real estate values 1t is held by
the Commissioners that Mr.. Bennett 5
structures in that quarter have no foun-
dation in fact.
AS to the insfnuations that there was
discrimination in the matter of levying
assessments, the Commissioners said yes
terday that they rested on their state
ment issued Thursday evening after the
debate in the House. They again called
attention to the fact that their only
reference to the assessment of property
in the District before the assessor and
his assistant board bore upon the eau
ton that the statute provided that prop
erty should be assessed at not less than
rwo-thirds of its appraised value. and
that, therefore, the only latitude of the
assessors lay in their ability to go above
the two-thirds valuation, instead OF be-
low it.
Rufldinx Permits Not Reliable.
Scrutiny Of the new assessment rolls
yesterday developed the fact that much
must be left to the wisdom and expert
ence Of the assessors in determining the
value Of District properties Although
the records Of the Office of the building
inspector are open to the assessors, they
are not reliable to any extent In the dis
closure OF the value of improvements
Contractors and owners. it seems. in ap-
plying for permits to build are not in
clined to afix values that come any
where near being true disclosures for the
benefit Of the officials who apportion the
taxes. For instance. the mansion erected
several years ago by w. ]. Boardman Is
classed in the building permit as entail
ing an outlay Of but $4,000. while the as
sessment rolls just completed disclose
two-thirds valuation of the residence to
be $4,000, with an additional assessment
of $4,000 on the land it occupies.
The Patterson residence in Dupont cir
Gle cost $4,000 to build, according to the
documents filed in the ONCE Of the build
ing inspector. Its assessed value this
year is placed at $4,000 which is sup
rosed to be but two-thirds Of its total
worth. A small apartment house erected
in Twelfth street by Mr. Wardman Is
down as a $4,000 affair on the building
permit. The assessors hold that its value
for taxation purposes is $4,000. with $6.ns
as the worth Of the site.
Thus it appears that the assessors can.
not rely upon the building permits but
must have ever before them the court
rule that the value Of q property Is de-
terminable only by ascertaining what
price may be agreed upon between a will
ing purchaser and a willing seller.

The Chair held that the provision as
presented was in the proper direction.
as 1t prescribed in detail for the ex-
penditure of the money. whereas for
merly a lump sum was disbursed, but il
creates quite number of new places
and that rendered it subject to point

At the request Of Mr. Bowers. 1t was
agreed that the Fairgrounds provisions.
just passed over. shall be taken up as
the first business upon resumption Of
consideration of the bill to-day. Mr..
Parsons, of New York. moved to strike
out the clause relating to Fairgrounds
to the effect that the sum appropriated
shall be paid wholly out of the rev.
enues Of the District This was op-
posed by many members, who hold that
the Federal government should bear its
half of this expense Mr.. Taylor quoted
the organic law to show that following
ita provisions the Fairgrounds expense
should be borne by the Federal and Dis
trict governments.
The Electric Light Question.
Mr.. johnson had another point of order
ready when the paragraph to authorize
the Commissioners to effect a settlement
for arc lighting with the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company was read.
Mr.. Tawney said II was the judgment
Of the committee that should the District
go into court in this matter it would re-
cover nothing. He said the Commission
ers are Withholding the payment Of money
pending the present settlement Mr.. John
son said the electric company had not
supplied lights Of the candlepower con-
tracted for and the company should be
compelled to go into court and sue for
the pay it claims.
Mr.. Gardner again explained the facts
Of the contract and gave a history Of the
transaction. He said It had been found
that the arc lights OF 100 candlepower
gave better light at certain places than
the LOO power contracted for. and the
better light had been substituted by df-
rection Of the Commissioners.
Mr.. Tawney quoted Mr.. Walter c. Allen.
electrician Of the District, in explanation
Of the better light given by the light of
lesser candlepower. and said II the Com
missioners shall be authorized to make
the settlement they will get a better
contract for the future than can be pro-
cured by litigation.
With the adoption Of an amendment
requiring the Commissioners to submit
the report of any settlement they may
make to Congress. Mr.. johnson withdrew
his point and the paragraph went
through.
