Rover contended a mere citation
of the license fee by the A. B. C.

but of the one violation.
He denounced the writer's of the

Fantastic new varieties Of living

have been discovered by DR.. Paul
Bartsch, Smithsonian Institution cur
ator of mollusks, In the masses OF
shells dredged from the bottom OF
the Atlantic by the first Johnson
Smithsonian deep sea expedition OF
the Winter of 1888.
These creatures are mollusks with
whorled shells of exquisitely delicate
architecture. which look like the tur-
reted domes of Buddhist temples. Al
though widely distributed through the
earth's oceans. especially in the
deeper waters, they are little known
except to specialists. The family is
of great antiquity. and its fossils are
of value in establishing paleonto-
logical horizons.
DR.. Bartsch found five new genera
and % new species of these animals
in the material obtained by the ex-
pedition and, largely by means of the
acquisition, has been able TO under
take the Redistribution of the whole
family. The most striking is a little
animal, with Wing-like projections
from its lower turres. which he has
named in honor of Eldridge r. john
son, sponsor of the expedition. Other
new genera and species are named in
honor of members of the Johnson
family. The winged temple" shell
was collected from the sea floor about
half a mile below the surface. and the
single specimen is the only one known
to science.
Besides the new types discovered by
DR.. Bartsch there are hundreds of
already known members of the family

ment Was Contrary to
Spirit of Law.

Renewing his fight with the Treasury
Department. Col Wade H. Cooper,
president of the United States Savings
Bank, filed suit in District Supreme
Court today in another effort to re-
gain control of that institution.
He named as defendants Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau, J. F. T.
O'Connor. controller of the currency,
and Garter B. Keene, the banks re-
ceiver
Col. Cooper asserts the appointment
of a receiver for the bank pending
litigation dealing with the con-
troller's refusal to approve plan for
reopening the bank was illegal. The
District Court of Appeals decided re-
Gently that the controller did not ex-
ceed his authority in refusing to accept
Cooper's reorganization plan.
Held Contrary to Law.
The suit alleged the appointment of
the receiver was contrary to the in
tent of the bank conservation act,
which, it is asserted. was intended to
enable a bank to rehabilitate itself
says it was intended bank should be
returned to its officers when and if
able to meet normal demands of
creditors.
Since the closing of the bank, it is
charged. the institutions assets have
increased so that it is now solvent and
fully able to meet creditors demands.
The plaintiff asks for temporary in
junction to restrain Keene from acting
as receiver and Withholding the bank
ing house. with its assets. from the
officers. directors and stockholders.
The court is also asked upon final
hearing to restrain the Treasury off,
cials from interfering with the bank
officers and that the bank be given an
opportunity to restore its capital stock
If this asset should be impaired by the
operations of the receiver.
No Injunction Sought.
w. Bissell Thomas, counsel for Col.
Cooper, pointed out that no rule or
preliminary injunction was asked in
the suit because the latter did not
wish to prevent the depoSitors from
obtaining dividend of approximately
S1,000,000. which the Treasury is
planning to return to the depositors as
a result of the recent Court of Ap-
peals decision.
Col. Cooper also charged the indict-
ment now pending against him was
returned at the instigation of Treas
ury officials and had as its purpose
the destruction of his reputation.

Sixty men on District relief rolls,
who were worked overtime last week
in distribution of new work assign
ment cards to thousands of others on
the relief list, have been paid for
their overtime work, it was announced
today by Capt. Howard F. Clark, in
charge of the program.
This extra sum is not to be credited
toward the budgets of the go men
and they will be permitted to work
their regular hours next month. Each
recipient of relief is allowed only a
certain budget and had the extra pay
been credited the men would have
had to be laid off to account for the
extra pay.
The sum involved is said to amount
to about $400. Capt. Clark explained
last week the men were worked over
time by mistake.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

More than a hundred creatures of
the dark ocean depths, hitherto un-
known to science. have just been de-
scribed from the Smithsonian Institu-
ton collections.
They were found in the material
obtained from the ocean near the
Philippine Islands by the Albatross
expedition Of the United States Bu-
reau of Fisheries nearly 20 years ago.
They are described as mostly more
primitive bathypelagic, or deep sea
forms" They include many of the
fantastic lantern bearers" who carry
luminous organs attached to their
heads by barbels, or cordlike ap-
pendages of the jaws. Still other
carry headlights" before or behind
their eyes. .
The strangeness of these new fishes
probably is due to the conditions of
their habitat with its extreme pressure
and eternal darkness Among the
more unusual forms described are:
The needle fish-perhapS the most
fantastic of all Its Jaws are pro-
longed into extraordinarily slender
and elongated points. resembling fine
needles. so that the head is nearly
as long as the rest of the body The
creature is approximately 6 inches
long
A group Of fiat fishes. all of which
have two eyes on one side of the
head and none on the other. In
stead OF a right eye and a left eye,
there is an upper eye and a lower
eye. The species differ notably in
the arrangement of these eyes.
The hunchback fish, a creature with
strangely shaped body, suggests its
name
The lance fish, which has long
notwithstanding spines just behind
the eyes, suggestive of lances.
The ''forceps fish," described as
among the most aberrant of fishes
in the greatly extended, forcepslike
jaws. There is apparently but a sin

Employees, soliciting membership in
the union and asking the workers to
help reinstate John Donovan. preSi-
dent OF the union, who was discharged
last week by Gen. Hugh s. johnson,
administrator.
Members of the union began dis
tribution of the circulars as soon as
the building opened at 9 o'clock. One
man was assigned to the first three
floors of the building and another to
the upper floors. As soon as the
union members left the circulars in
an office, the guards appeared behind
them and collected them.

tanned membership application

The body of the statement con-
tanned a history of union activities
and recitation of alleged hostility
toward the union dating from the
time it was organized in November

The circular charged that the first
case of discrimination against a union
member took place last December
when Lieut.. Kilbourn johnson. son
of Gen. johnson, allegedly caused the
dismissal of worker who led a dele

CAPITAL TAX RATE

Donovan BUSHES Fiscal Re-
port With Levy Ruling
Due Tomorrow.
NEW FACTORS BECL0UD
INCOME CALCULATIONS
Auditor Finds Check Against 35
Million Budget Is Com
plicated Problem,
The tax rate for the District during

The tax rate for the District during
the new fiscal year, beginning Sunday
is expected to be fixed tomorrow by
the Board of Commissioners.
Whether the levy is to be raised
above the present Sl50 is yet entirely
problematic. Commissioner Melvin G.
Hazen said every effort would be MADE
to prevent an increase.
The new rate however. will depend
on a financial report by Maj. Daniel
j. Donovan, auditor and budget officer,
which will show the Commissioners
whether the District can support the
s35 900 900 budget without calling on
taxpayers for additional funds.
With up-rolled sleeves, Donovan
worked assiduously behind closed doors
today preparing the data for the Com
missioners. He said he hoped to have
his report completed in time for the
regular board meeting tomorrow, so
the new levy can be fixed before the
start of the 1885 fiscal year.
There are so many unusual factors
involved in the tax rate formula this
year that Donovan's job is difficult.
Even with his knowledge of District
finances he refused to predict whether
a raise is likely.
First, the S35, 900, 900 appropriation is
expected completely to wipe out the
surplus in unobligated tax revenues
to be carried into the new fiscal year.
In addition, Donovan must take into
consideration the reduced Federal
contribution resulting from the con-
greSSional mandate requiring the Dis
trict to repay to the Government 10
per cent of the S1,908.150 C. w. A
grant for sewers and park improve
mentS
Another factor which has bobbed
up to make his calculations difficult
is the act authorizing the District to
borrow s10.750 900 from the P w A
for construction of a sewage disposal
plant and other needed public i'm
provements.
Neither the Commissioners nor
Donovan is certain at this time
whether the P. W. A. will make loans
for any OF all of the projects con-
templated in the act This fact adds
an unknown quantity in Donovans
calculations The act stipulates that
not less than S1,0OO,O0O of the loan
shall be repaid by June 80 each year
and that 10 cents of the tax rate
shall be ear-marked for its repay
ment
1t has been previously estimated
that the Sl.50 tax rate would yield
roughly about S32 100000 in the COM
ing fiscal year. on the basis of the
present assessment. Whether this
amount, coupled with revenue from
all other sources, will support the
$4,000 900 budget constitutes the big
problem Donovan is trying to solve.
If he finds it will not, an increase in
the tax rate is inevitable
