Allen states that this was done bv the
consent of the Engineer Commissioner
but he savs that frequent requests for a

requesting tint the wires be remocd lm
riedlatclv Mr Allen sa s that he has re
ceived no repl to this letter and he

by the Engineer Commissioner and it Is
understood tint the board will concur In
the tction
The Commissioners jestcrday Issued an
order to provide for the regular assess
ment of propert real and personal in
the District of Columbia us provided by
law The order is
That for the fiscal jear to end June
30 1901 and pursuant to the act of Con
gress providlrg for a permanent form of
government for the District of Columbia
npproved June 11 1878 and the tenth sec
tion of An act to provide an immediate
revision and equalization of real estate
Values In the District of Columbia also
to provide nn assessment of real estate
In said District in the earlS6 and every
third jear thereafter and for other pur
poses approved August 14 liU a tax
be and the same Is hereby levied or
tl SO on every l of real estate
Within th District of Cohtntliln not ex
empt b law except upon the real prop
irt held and ued cxcluslvelv for agricul
tural purposes without the limits of the
lit of ashlngton and so designated by
the Assessor in his annual report the
rate on which shall be Jl on every 1U0
Lnd upon all personal propertj In the Dis
trict of Columbia not taxable elsewhere
il 50 on everv 1M according to the s
lessed valuation thereof
The law relating to the rale of taxation
Is as follows section 19 of the laws In
nrporating the government of the Dis
trict of Columbia
Provided That the rate of taxation In
an v one ear shall not exceed Jl Sv en
ever 1 of real estate not exempted by

ble elsewhere Jl 50 on ever JKi according
to the cash valuation thereof
The Commissioners are In receipt of
a eommunicatlon from David S Carll
civil engineer and general superintendent
calling attention to the fact that it Is
elangerous for cars going cast to stop at
New Jerse Avenue and II Street south
east n the near sldq of the street as
reemircd to do by the recent order Issued
b the Commissioners Mr Carll states
thut the compan offers no objections to
the stop for the trains bound west but
he does ask that the trains bound east
rtiould not be required to stop on the near
fide lie Informs the Commissioners that
It Is Impossible for trains going up Cap
itol HIP to obtain a high rate of siieed
and he savs the could be brought to a
top In a verv short distance at any time
on reaching New Jerse Avenue
Mr Carll states that he is fearful that
if ever train Is compelled to etop on the
grade it might lead sometime Id serious
results if the track were slipper and
the trains should start to run backward
down the grade Mr Carll adds that It
Is on account of this danger that the pres
ent regulations of the compan forbid
ony stop at the street crossings on Capi
tol Hill Ittween First Street west and
the east side of Xevv Jerse Avenue cx
eent In cases of erm rgnc
Captain L S Beach the Engineer Com
missioner has forwarded to his colleagues
a recommendation that the request or the
compan he granted as It is believed that
the rtop on the near side of the street In
this case might result In accident
Thomas W Gilmer has written to the
Commissioners and submitted a state
ment relative to She general and firm en
forcement of the Police Regulations upon
all and not upon the few Mr Gilmer
disclaims an desire to Influence the
Board of Commissioners unduly or upon
n particular case but at the same time
he expresses the hope that the authori
ties will see to it that the police force
has no excuse to infer that the regula
tions or other laws are not to be rigidly
enforced uniformly and impartially
If it Is right to compel an man to
obc anv particular lew then Mr Gilmer
thinks that all should be compelled to
obe the same law under the same cir
cumstances Mr Gilmer admits that the
statement sounds like a platitude but he
thinks that the police should never for
get It He believes that an ollicer who
has the courage to enforec the law unl
forml is too valuable a man to lose
Cortlnulng Mr Gilmer
At the same time when a regulation Is
of anv importance the police should en
force It b soft persuasion If possible In
j jeh case the should not humiliate the
citizen b making nn arrest If the dig
itH of the law can l upheld In any
other wa The police should remember
the difference between the malum pro
hibitum and malum In se
I desire to a in this connection that
no p rson under arrest ought to be ex
posed to the public gaze In an open p i
trol wagon All vehicles for the trans
portation of prison rs should be eovtred
cspeclall In lw of the fact that Inno
emt people are often compelled to ride In
them

rltli Hronlimi of conv Cllieilt
-form for reference such as are In use in
other cities The books will be arrangea
similar to a ledger Index so that when
a box Is struck it can be readily located
The book will oecup a convenient place
in the fire houses and In Mr Allens
opinion will be preferable to the present
h gc cards the books will be prepared
within 1 few weeks and will be read
for use shortlv afterward Onl a
nuTber will be issued as the expense
of compiling and printing them is consid
erable
The introduction of the new books will
permit the numbering of boxes in four

elated that Richardson was formerl cm
ploved as his valet While acting In that
capacity Richardson appears to have hid
acces to the check book of his cmplover
and to have abstracted blank checks from
time to time during the past month The
checks It Is faid Ixire the forged signa
ture of Dr Lard and were enshed In this
city All were drawn on the Riggs Na

are 3aid to be In the handwriting of Rich

About ten dajs ago Dr Lardv suspected
something was amiss and began nn in

claims he did not sign and then made
a report of the matter to the police Sus
picion fell upon Rlehardton for two rea

to the check book from which checks were
missing and that ceiupled with the fact
that he disappeared as soon as the mat
