Itarose out of the case of the Woodall woman, Whose extradition was demanded by the United States on a charge of forgery. Mrs, Woodall ap- Plied for habeas corpus on the ground that there was no guarantee she would not be tried for some other offense than the one on Which extradition 18 asked, such guarantee being required by the English law before the surrender of a prisoner. The Judge decided that the neces sary provision was made by the law of the United States He sald no doubt the Ashburton treaty did not contain an express provision, Dut the SU- preme Court at Washington, by a decision In the Year 886, had decided that ‘such a provision was to be read into the treaty.

John B. Knight, of Ashland, Wis, general manager and the largest stockholder of the Supe- rior Lumber Company, was examined by the Sen- ate committee on Indian traderships to-day. In reply to questions by Senator Faulkner, he said that he alone made the purchases of lumber for the company. The com- pany had never done any lc on the Bad River reservation or any other Indian reservation, and had never had a log cut from any Indian reserva- ton, He pronounced the statements of J. B. Deno- mee, that he had frequently seen logs cut from the Bad River reservation in the Superiog Co.'s mills to be absolutely untrue. At one time in 1886 some logs from the Bad River reservation were cut at the company’s mill, but they were cut for another y, and the fact was not known by the witness until some months af- terward. Witness had never seen Denomee about the mill, and Denomee could not have seen the logs to Jdontify them from others had he been there siice he wonld not have been allowed on the log deck, where they were being cut. There Were about a milion feet of these and the work was paid for at the ruling rate for that sea- son. Witness was very emphatic on the point that the company, as a matter of principle, had never at any time, directly or indirectly, had any- thing to do with lumber from Indian reservations, He stated this from personal knowledge, WHEN WITNESS WAS SICK IN 115 ROOM here In Washington, in April, a gentleman came to him and told him that the committee had certain letters written by the Superior company to E, Pero, one of them,enclosing §50, tobe paid to Tndian woman, who owned an ailoctinents This gentleroan told witness that Mr. Thaddeus Pound, Who witness understood to be the pater familias of this inquiry, had said that witness did bot dare to appear before the committee as a witness. ‘TESTIMONY STRICKEN OUT. ‘The chairman (Senator Chandler), asked the name of witness’ informant, but there being some question as to the propriety of extending the in- quiry too far, the question was not answered, and the testimony regarding Gov.

The bill which the Commissioners have for- warded to the chairman vf the Senate and House District committees respectively on the subject of tax sales is designed to reconsider a contradiction in the existing laws on the subject respecting the Ume of sales, It is a measure which was I~ nally presented by the Commissioners two years ago but was not enacted. It isagain brought for- Ward, as it is deemed important in view of any Possible question which might arise involving Validity of tax Utles, the status of which now is quite uncertain. : RAILROAD OCCUPATION OF DELAWARE AVENUE. Some days ago Messrs. Carson & Sons wrote to ‘the Commissioners, stating that Delaware avenue, between G and H ‘streets northeast, had “become almost impassable as a street, This condition, they say, 18 caused by the railroad company occu- pying the center of the avenue. He inquired whether the avenue should be paved at the ex- pense of the railroad company. The letter was Teferred to the district attorney, who rendered an opinion to the effect that the Commissioners had not power to compel the rallroad to pave the ‘street as he requests. ADULTERATED FOODS AND DRUGS. ‘The Commissioners have written Chairman Hemphiil'in retation to H. R, bill 249, “To prevent the manufacture or sale of aduiterated food or drugs in the District of Columbia,” ‘They recom- mend that the proviso relative to the District analyist be stricken out, as there 1s no such officer under the District.

Spect. The Commissioners say that they are not ‘Ssatistied that it would be a good change to reduc the license fee (making 1 $50 for the use of the Associated Charities). By legisiative enactment license fee was raised from $100 10 $250,and It is not intimated but that the change has worked weil. Ic seems to the Comuissioncrs to be a great deal Detter to appropriate directly in assistance of charity than to make a change In the organic act, as 1s contemplated 1u this bill. The Commissioners further say that they taluk the precedent a bad One and cannot sanction it. Of the change limit- ing the percentage to be demanded by tke pawn- brokers the Cominisstoners say they cannot speak, a8 they are not acquainted with the business 1 question. ‘The pawnbrokers, who are the parties most largely interested, say that the amount pro- Posed in the bill ts “an tusuMcient protection against the risks to whica they are subjected. In conclusion, the Commissioners think Uhe law as it exists meets every requirement and Will not be improved by the proposed change.
