the office Of auditor OF the District put
on a salary basis, it developed yesterday
when, at a meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Board of Trade, the law COM
mittee submitted a report which disap-
proved the House bill to change the sys-
tenn Of fees.
The directors approved the report Of
the committee and decided to refer 1t to
the Board of Trade at a general meet
ing to be held November 9. 1t was decid-
ed also to ask the Senate to suspend
action on the bill-the House already
has approved it-until after the meeting
of the board. Litigants fare better under
the present system of fees than they
would IL the position were put on sal
ary basis. IT was said.
The Federation Of Citizens Associations
twice has approved the bill.
A portion of the bill. in which it is pro-
posed to charge a fee of 81 day for the
services OF the auditor. an assistant and
a stenographer, was especially distaste-
full to the committee. 1t would increase
the fees, II was claimed.
The committee found that in % per
cent Of cases. the fee Of the auditor is
SO or less: in more than 90 per cent,
SIS or less; in more than 20 per cent,
$50 or less; in more than so per cent
SIS or less; in less than % per cent, $50
or more, and in less than 10 per cent, 800

PRESIDENT APPROVES COURSE.
GratIaed that McCombs VIII Not
Take New York ChaIrmanEhIp.

President Wilson expressed his gratih-
cation yesterday at the action Of National
Chairman McCombs in declining the
Craftsmanship Of the New. York Democra-
tic State Committee The President said:
In my judgment, Mr.. McCombs has
done the right thing. It would not be
wise for the national chairman to with
draw his attention from the national cam
state"
Friends Of the President did not intre-
pret this as indicating any lukewarmness
on the Presidents part toward the New
York candidate. Oflcials expect that Mr..
McCombs will give especial attention to
the New York campaign without assufa-
ing any official connection with the state

wards colonists and others on visit

slaves with them, but by a judgment
OF the queens bench in 1872, when
an attempt was made to regain pos

could be held as a slave An act for
the abolition Of slavery throughout the

British parliament, chiefly through the
exertions Of Wilberforce, in 1883, and
on August I, 1884. nearly 5000 slaves
became free. Their owners were com.
