DISTRICT HEADS
OPPOSE ANOTHER

Report Adversely on Bill
Transferring Power to

Decided opposition is expressed by the
Commissioners to the efforts of Con-

House District Committee, to take from
them the appointment of important Of
fees under tho District government
In line with their action in reporting
adversely on the bill introduced by Con-
gresham johnson transferring to the

counts of the District from their iuris.
diction and transfer these functions to
the Federal authorities, the Commits.
sioners declare, would destroy the pro-
lection to which the Commissioners are
entitled.
Substance of Report.
The report forwarded to Congress TO-
day is in part as follows:
The commissioners would invite at
tention to the fact that under the pres
ent system of auditing, provided by laN,
the auditor for the state and other de-
parlmentS, who is a Federal officer,
audits al accounts Of the Distric; of
Columbia, and the passage oC this bill
would simply provide another Federal
officer to perform the Same duties.
There must necessarily he. as a part of
The organization OF the District of CO.
lumbia, an officer who would be, in
effect an auditor before the fact and
the auditor provided for in this bill
would be an auditor after the fact,
which Is the same duty that is now per
formed Cor the United States bv the
auditor for the State and other depart
mentS.
In other words, the Auditor for the
district OF Columbia now approves OBJ
legations before they are incurred by the
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia, and audits and approves them again
before they mature for payment. The
Auditor for the State and other depart
ments reviews and audits the expendi-
lures after they have matured and been
made.
The commissioners, under the bonds
riVen by them as required by the act
Of Congress approved June IL, 1878, to
faithfully perform their duties, are re-
sponSible for the proper expenditure of
appropriations made for the support of
the government of the District of Co
lumbia. They are required to certify
to the correctness of all expenditures
made from such appropriations. 1t Is
manifestly impraCticable for the Com
missioners to be conversant with the de-
tails of all such expenditures, and they
are consequently to large extent de-
Iendent upon the Auditor of the District
of Columbia for the correctness of all
expenditures certified by them.

counts from the jurisdiction of the
Commissioners and transfer these func-

FIGHT IS PLANNED
BY HAWLEY HEIRS
ON MISS CAMERON
Think Mythical Will" Is
Being Held to Force
a Division.

ALBANY, Feb. 13.-Stern and uncom-
promising warfare will be waged by the
heirs of Edwin Hawley against Miss
Margaret Cameron, the comely young
woman known variousy as the finan-
cier's niece, ward and housekeeper. II
possible, the young woman, who has
limited that she has in her possession
Mr.. Hawleys last will, will be cut off
without even the simple allowance
which Is to be given the servants as u
testimonial to their faithfulness.
The Chatham heirs, Charles and
Samuel Hawley, brothers; Mrs. Harvey
Seymour. who was Nellie Hawley. and
Miss Annie Hawley, sisters, and Walter
and Fred Crandall. nephews of Edwin
Hawley, are angry because Miss Gamer
on has allowed the inference that there
was q romance between herself and Mr..
Hawley to so unchecked.
Statement BY Sister.
This was !rdicated in statements made
10y Miss Annie HawleN and Mrs. Sey-
mour Miss Hawley was seen in her
unpretertiOus home in Chatham. She
is a handsome woman If fifty. Her
calm, unrIrf1cd face ard clear COM
pleNion, together with a pair of clear
lazel eyes, give her a much younger
appearance.
II an very sorry that Miss Cameron
has seen mt to inject any mystery into
my dear brothers simple adfafrs,' so id

1t may be true that Miss Cameron
has discovered what she thinks is a

mas discovered such a document it Is
not valid"
Explain Mythical Will"
IN this connection It was learned in
Chatham that last September about TN ,

suffered an acute attack of Indigestion.

thought to be Miss Camerons conten-
ton that Mr.. Hawlev cXeClued will

Sh" Is largely Il OCnCticiary-.wa found
~ her last Tuesday during visit to
the Eabylou place.
The heirs are, however. OF the opinion
that what they term the mythical
will' is simply being held as a club by
which Miss i'Iiu"ron hopes tC force
them to provide fOv her. If this Is the
young womHn'.s aim II will not be graft
fed. rhn heirs are determined to prove
that Miss Cameron served Huwlcy only
n the capacity Of housekeeper.

Boxers at the Central Institute last
night did all kinds of stunts and the
big crowd ON hand was amused from
the first setto to >the main event.
Sailor Adam BALI and Battling
Brooks, a pair of heavyweights Of
the lesser class, mixed in the star
bout. The go" only lasted shortly
after the beginning of the third ses-
sion, however, as a right to the Jaw
and a left to the stomach from the
mitts of Baltz sent Brooks to the mat.
The latter was completely gone and
there was nothing doing after that.
Two middleweights, their names
were announced as Fred KILLER and
Pat Stutz, showed everything one
wanted ip the semi-final, and after
four rounds of slug bang
milling, Pat was a victim of an over
whelming beating. Stutz only showed
to advantage in but one round, the
third.

LONDON, July 2S.-The LONDON
Times, in discussing the situation
regarding the American polo cup,
says that the Duke of Westminster
has informed the Huntington club
of his readiness to take an English
team to America in 1918, and a chal-
lenge in his behalf will be sen in due
course to the Nottingham commits
tee. which appointed delegates to
confer with Westminster in carrying
out the necessary arrangements.
No announcement has been made
regarding the players upon whom the
Duke of Westminster may rely, but
the London Times says that 1t seems
certain that MI. Buckmaster and Mr..
Freake will accept the dukes invita-
tion, while others whom the London
Times selects for inclusion on the
team are Captain Hardness Lloyd.
Captain Cheape. Noel Edwards. Cap

Harry Tracey, of Philadelphia, and
Eddie Sherman, of New York, Will
meet tonight at the Eleventh Ward
Athletic Club to settle the question
of supremacy There has been much
speculation between fight followers
~ to who is the better, and tonights
bout will go far toward settling all
differences of opinion. A good bouf
may be looked for. as the boys are
IN elegant condition.
The extra attraction, lack Goode
and Knockout Johnson. should also
prove a hummer. These two lads. OF
the w~elterweight class, are good
slam bang artists. and each can
hand out and also assimiiate much
punishment. The little tiff between
Young cardell and Young Allen
should also be productive of much
activity. The semi-final and the
other two preliminary numbers will
complete a good program.
