NO CASH FOR FLOOD VICTIMS.
Congress to Appropriate No More
Unless Conditions Become Worse.

Chairman Fitzgerald of the House APP
preparations committee said today that
unless the Mississippi flood conditions
become worse Congress will not APP
propriate money for the relief of the
flood victims Mr.. Fitzgerald made this
statement today after a conference with
President Taft and officers of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
1t is the understanding that the War
Department. the Red Cross and the
municipalities and states in the flood dis
trict are able to give relief to those made
homeless by the water. Therefore, Mr..
Fitzgerald thinks that congressional ac-
ton is not necessary. The resolution of
Representative Ollie James Of Kentucky
appropriating $50 900 for tents, food and
clothing. for the flood sufferers will be
held until further notice n the House ap-
propriationS committee.

Affect Criminal Code.

The bills, which were introduced at the
request of Clarence Wilson, United States
District attorney, covered several tech
nical points of law. One of them covered
the crime Of false pretenses. Another one
covered the crime Of blackmail, and
makes a penalty of five years and fine
Of 81 600.
Another bill would make it necessary
for foreign corporations to furnish a
statement of the capital stock and the
nature of the business, and all informa-
ton concerning the company; another one
of the hills adds section to the penal
code making it crime to fraudulently
convert the ownership of any thing Of
value.
Senate 5371, which was an act to
confer concurrent jurisdiction on the Po-
lice Court in certain cases, is among those
reported favorably. If this bill is enacted
by the House it will give the Police Court
the same Jurisdiction over disorderly
houses now held by the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia.

Dsapproval of the provision of the

Commissioners of the District In re-

they declare. contains legislation much

sentiment in the District is opposed to
II. the District heads assert as their be-
lief.
The George bill provides complete
method of assessment by collecting In
one form the effective portions OF the
acts of 1877, 1894, 1899, 1904 and 1902;
annual instead Of triennial assessments
and contemplates within five or SIX
years placing all real estate assess
ments on land values only. thereby omit
ting assessments on improvements Ii
is the latter provision for a single tax
that the Commissioners are opposed to.
Legislation Much Needed.
This bill contains legislation much
needed" states the Commissioners re-
section 16, and two amendments, all
quoted in full below, would meet with
the hearty approval Of the Commits
sioners. excepting section Z. which pro-
vides for the gradual increase in the as
sessments to land only. This provision
the Commissioners are constrained to ais
approve, as they are convinced tnat the
sentiment OF this community is opposed
to such measure.
