ence was used in procuring the will Of

to frame issues for a trial before a jury
at once to determine the truth or falsity
of the charges

and mother of United States Senators

BY the Associated Press.

w. S. Leake, San Francisco healer,
testifying from an invalid's chair, today
told the Senate, trying Federal Judge
mot one cent" of fees paid receivers and
attorneys in the judges court was re-
ceived by himself.
The elderly Californian, who is
charged in the House impeachment
articles against the Judge with recon-
mending H. B. Hunter as receiver in
one case and receiving 81 200 from John
D. Short, Hunters attorney, appeared
as a defense witness.
Brought here on a stretcher under
a Senate warrant, he spoke slowly and
at times with an effort into a micro
phcne placed on the arm of his chair
and attached to an amplifying system
within the chamber.
Few Absences Noticed.
Virtually every one of the 80 Sena-
tors qualified to sit as the court in the
impeachment trial were present and
followed him closely as he answered
questions put by Walter Linforth OF
defense counsel.
The money referred to in the House
indictment of Louderback. Leake said,
was lent to him by w. L. Hathaway,
long a friend, at a time when Mrs.
Leake was on her deathbed and he
was in financial straits. The House

said Leake asked him If he could serve
as receiver for the company.
He was named receiver after Louder

Sequoia.

President Roosevelt returned to his
desk today after his week end cruise
down the Potomac aboard the Sequoia
This was the first time he has been
away from the White House overnight
since he assumed the presidency and
the brief vacation and change was, ac-
cording to the President himself, ex-
tremely beneficial and enjoyable
While Mr.. Roosevelt took business
along with him, he by no means de-
voted all Of his time working on gov
ernmental problems Being a lover of
the water and of ships. he spent good
deal of his time sitting on the shaded
deck resting and talking with friends
in his little party, while at the same
time he enjoyed the picturesque shore
line
Some Of the time was spent in fish,
ing, but this was quite desultory. and
not very productive Most of the
catch of the members of the party
consisted Of crabs and eels. The only
fish caught was a very small perch
which became hooked on the line of
Gus Gennerich of the White House
Secret Service.
The Sequoia left its Navy Yard
moorings early Saturday afternoon and
returned with the President after night

the yacht anchored just off the chan
mel short distance below Indian Head,
and early yesterday morning resumed
its journey down the river, finally

bacco Creek
The Presidents work aboard the
yacht consisted chiefly of conferring
with Lewis w. Douglas. director of the

COURT PUTS LIMIT
OF 80 DAYS ON
!. FIRST CONVICTIONS
Liquor Offenders Who Are
Not Able to Pay Fines
Gain by Appeals Ruling.
THOUSANDS SERVE
EXCESSIVE TERMS
Three Glasses Defined by As
sistant U. S. Attorney Hart as
Coming Under Application.

The District Court of Appeals today
handed down a decision which holds
in effect that persons unable to pay
fines cannot be sentenced to more than
80 days imprisonment upon their first
conviction for illegal possession OF
liquor.
This means that in the past thou
sands of prisoners have served excessive
Jail sentences, according to the united
States attorneys Office, and that those
now serving terms of more than 30
days in lieu of fines will be eligible for
release If they can show they are not
able to pay the fines.
Three Glasses Concerned.
Assistant United States Attorney
David A. Hart said the decision would
apply to the following classes of pro-
hibition cases:
/. First offense of illegal possession,
for which the maximum penalty is
fine of $500.
2. The possession of property de-
signed or intended for the manufac-
ture Of liquor, also punishable by
$500 fine.
8. The sale, transportation or manu-
facture of not more than one gallon
of liquor, which is punishable by i'm
prisonment for six months, fine OF
$500, or both. In the past offenders
of this type have often been sentenced
to both the fine and imprisonment. II

heavy additional jail sentence fire.
ouently was imposed. Under the Court
of Appeals decision. however. the ad-
ditional jail sentence in lieu Of the fine
cannot be longer than 80 days in the
future.
The courts decision was made in the
case of Samuel Green, who was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $500 or serve
1870 days in Jail following his conviction
in Police Court on a charge OF unlaw-
fully possessing liquor. After he had
spent more than 80 days in Jail his at
torneys. Harry Whelan, W. B. O'Connell
and L. L. Whitehead, sought his release
under section GAL of the United States
Code.
Commissioner May Decide.
This secticn provides that any convict
sentenced by any United States court
to pay fine, after serving 80 days
solely for non-payment of the fine, can
apply to a United States commissioner
to determine his inability to pay. The
prisoner must be released If the COM
missioner holds that he cannot pay the
fine.
Counsel for Green sought his release
on a wrt of habeas corpus, but the
petition for the writ was denied in the
District Supreme Court. Following this
denial the case was taken to the Court
of Appeals, where the opinion was writ
ten by Associate Justice Hitz
1t was indicated that in the future
the situation will be met in Police Court
by the imposition of 30-day Jail SEN
tences, in lieu of fines, instead of the
longer sentences given in the past.

D. c. HEADS TO VIEW
FINANCE OUTLOOK
Commissioners to Scan Rev.
enue Prospects to Deter
mine Lowering of Taxes.

The District Commissioners early
next month will review latest available
figures showing the Districts financial
outlook for the new fiscal year. begin
ming July l, for the special purpose of
determining what reduction may be
made in the tax rate, it was announced
today.
Because of stringent economies pro-
vided for in the 1884 District budget
now in the hands of Senate and House
conferees there are prospects of cut
in the tax rate, local officials indicated.
Await Supply Bill Passage.
Just what the rate will be for the
new fiscal year, however, will have to
be determined after Congress has en-
acted the District appropriation bill
and after latest possible estimates are
compiled to show what tax revenues the
District may expect during the IL
months beginning July /.
Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer. preSi-
dent of the Board of District Commis-
sioners. announced today that he will
call upon Mai. Daniel j. Donovan, Dis
trict auditor, for a statement OF the
expected revenues during the next hscal
year as soon as the new supply bill Is
passed.
The tax rate must be set prior to
July /. DR.. Reichelderfer said today
the matter probably will be determined
as soon as possible. Maj. Donovan
reported that estimates Of revenue could
be made available during the first week
of June, after he had received reports
of the May tax collections.
Tax Base Is Lower.
william P. Richards, tax assessor, esti-
mated roughly today the real estate tax
base for the new fiscal year likely would
total between $4,000, 900 and 00,000.-
900 less than the total realty assess
ment of S1,228,000, 900 for the current
fiscal year, or between 5 and 10 per
cent lower than the present total. The
reductions are due to slump in mar
ket values of local real estate.
The assessor now IS considering a
large number of individual appeals
from 1884 assessments of property made
by the tax assessors office. This work
to be concluded prior to June 80. 1t
appeared likely today, however, that
an estimate Of the total real estate
assessments could be made available to
the Commissioners early next month.
