LONG FIGHT IS LIKELY
IN CASE OF KALbFUS
Assistant Assessor, Defiant,
Denies Commissioners Right
to Try His Case.

That a long legal fight will follow any
ATTEMPT the Commissioners may make
to remove Samuel T. Kalbfus as mem
her of the board of assistant assessors
Of the District is believed to be indicated
bv today's developments, growing out OF
Mr.. Kalbfns' refusal yesterday to retire
from the service Of his own volition.
Determined to recede not the slightest
from the defiant stand he took yester-
dav Mr.. Kalbfus was at his desk early
today, while Corporation Counsel e. II.
Thomas, in another part Of the munich
pal building. pored diligently over the
facts in the case in order that he may
he able to recommend to the Commits
sioners what steps they shall take.
Refuse to Discuss Case.
1t is up to the Commissioners to make
the first move, but it is not considered
likely that they will take any action
before the latter part of the week.
They refuse to discuss the case. stat
ing merely that 1t is in the hands OF
the corporation counsel
Should charges be filed against Mr..
Kalbfus. and should that official be or
dered to appear before the Commissioners
for an investigation, the assistant asses
sor. it is considered probable, will insti-
tute proceedings denying the right of the
District heads to try the case. on the
ground that they already have pre,udged
1T.
This would speedily get the matter into
the courts. The law provides that an
assistant assessor may not be removed
from Office except for incompetency, NAL
feasance or neglect Of duty. 1t is GER
to;n that Mr.. Kalbfus will oppose the
Commissioners trying him on any of
these charges. SO that the question as to
what tribunal shall have charge of the
case will be one of the first to arise.

SEES CHANCE FOR ENGLAND.
Upton Urges Participation in Pan
ama-Pacifc Exposition.

LONDON, August ia letter from Sir
Thomas Upton, printed in the Times to-
day contends that Germany's declination
to participate in the Panama-Pacific ex-
position makes it more important that
Great Britain should do so. because Ger
many's absence will provide a magnifi-
cent opportunity for the British mer-
chant.
Sir Thomas further argues that lhere is
necessity for getting rid of the wrong
impression, which is bound to stick in the
minds of a majority of Americans, that
Great Britain was influenced in her de-
cision not to take part in the exposition
by resentment over the Panama canal
tolls act.

on the bridge.
No One Saw Slayer.
No one saw the man who fired the

ing without tangible clue. A revolver
with all the shells unexploded was

precludes a possibility Of suicide.

light on the murder. She said Falk
left home at 1880 o'clock in the evening
and that she had heard nothing from

presence in that part Of the city after
midnight, and knew OF no enemies who
might be suspected of the crime.
No Appearance Of Robbery.

had been robbed. as his clothes did not
seem to have been disturbed after he
fell His keys and papers were found
in his pockets
The police are practically without a
clue on which to base a search for the
murderer. The men who were near the
bridge at the time OF the tragedy were
unable to give them any assistance.
The police are rounding up all sus-
picious characters.
In addition to his real estate business
Falk also owned a short car line in

ton that Grove leave Washington as
soon as possible after his release.
Grove was sentenced to serve ninety

mental investigation, which concluded
yesterday with a report from DR.. William

King, as the man appears on the court
records, was sane and responsible for his
actions, and that any peculiarities were
due to the excessive use of alcohol.

Capt. Roger G. Powell, Corps
of Engineers, Assigned to
Duty in Capital.
ENGINEER COMMISSIONER
GETS THIRD ASSISTANT
Provided For by Law, But Two Have
Managed to Do All Work
in the Past.

Capt. Roger G. Powell. Corps of En-
gineers. now on duty at the West Point
Military Academy. today was ordered
to this city for duty as an assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia. His detail gives En-
gineer Commissioner Harding three as
sistants from the Engineer Corps Of
the army. the two others being Capt.
Mark Brooke and Capt Julian l.
Schley. Capt. Powell is junior to both
Capts. Brooke and Schley, having at
tained his captaincy only last Feb
ruary.
Under the law the Engineer Commits
sioner Of the District is allowed three
commissioned assistants, but until the
present time the officer holding that
position never has had but two.
The action of the War Department in
increasing the number to three is
based on representations by Col. Hard
ing that the work of his office recently
had increased to such proportions that
it taxed the capabilities of the force
severely and that the full force al
lowed by law was essential for a, prop
er execution Of the duties devolving on
him and his assistants.
Work Is Piling Up.
What made an icrease of force espe-
cially desirable at this time was the
establishment of the new bureau for
the regulation of public utilities.
The execution of the provisions Of that
law, he said. had engaged much OF the
time and attention of Capt Schley, on
whom many other duties devolved. These
considerations induced Gen. Rosseil, cmel
of engineers, who, through his former
association with the District government
has personal knowledge OF the genera
situation of affairs at the District buiid-
ing to take favorable action on the
recommendation of the Engineer Commls'
sioner.
Capt. Powell is one of the star grad
yates of the Military Academy. He was
appointed to the academy from Indiana
in August, 19OO and was graduated II
June 1901 He then was appointed second
lieutenant, Corps of Engineers, ane
since then has served mainly VIII
troops. Soon after leaving the acad
emy he went to the Phinpplnes AM
of Engineers at camp Keithley, Min
danao.
Stationed in Washington.
In October, 1907. he came to this cit,
and served two years at Washington
barracks, first with the I'd Battalion OF
Engineers, and later with the 1st Bat
TALON. In September, 1909. he was trans
ferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kan. and
served at that post for two years with
the Sd Battalion of Engineers. Since Au'
gust 1911, he has been stationed at Wes'
Point. on duty as assistant instructor Of
practical military engineering, military
signaling and telegraphy.
Under the orders issued today Capt
Powell will report to the District En-
gineer Commissioner for duty October 1:
next. He will be granted leave OF ab
sence for one month which Will expire
on that date.
