DICIOUS AND SAVOR OF FAVORITISM. ferent view from that presented by the majority of the committee, was completed late yester- day afternoon. The report, as outlined in yes- terday’s Stan, is a sober and serious criticism of the methods of the Commissioners, based upon the testimony and adhering closely to it throughout, The fact that the testimony sub- mitted with the majority report is not a true transcript of the record, but changes the char- acter of some of the sworn answers, is pointed out in detail without further comment. Fol- lowing is the full text of the report: The wndersigned does not favor the views expressed in the foregoing report and submits the following conclusions: The testimony taken before the committee a8 sworn to by the witnesses is relied upon to substantiate the conclusions hereinafter sub- mitted. But the testimony as submitieed with the majority has, since it was taken, been so changed and moditied as to admit of a possi- ble doubt of the conclusions of the minority, For instance the testimony as given by J. F. Cox, touching the relationship which he bore in the matter of purchases of real estate for the District of Columbia, tends to establish the convietion that he acted as agent for the Commissioners, but the testimony as submitted leaves room for possible doubt on this subject. For instance, in his testimony concerning his purchase of square of 796, the following ques- tion was asked him: “Did you always submit it to him?” (meanin, Mr. Webb). His answer was: “Always to bim, but as the testimony reads which the majority of the committee submit with their report the pr reads: “Always in the case ef school ” In this connection the further question a think so, Webb was in the habit of getting Mr. Entwisle, the inspector of buildings, to consult with me ‘as to the reason- ableness of the price of property offered, and in addition to that he would also call upon the trustees in that particuiar district.” The the m After tl of getti jority report 4 bat the ) < Mr. Entwisle to consult with me as nableness of the price of the prop- erty offered and in addition to that they would also call upon the trustees in that particular distri Touching the same matter, the following question was asked Mr. Cox:' “Did you pay the money to the persons from whom the pur- chase was made, or did the Commissioners pa ”* To which he gave the following answe he Commissioners paid it.” But the testi mony, as submitted, makes him answer: “The Commissioners did not pay it.” In this same connection, touching the matter of the pur- chase of this property, as to time, the following question was asked Mr. “W. Cox | Gneaning his purchase of the property | or after you had been called upon by the Com missioners of the District to purchase propert: for the District?” His answer on oath wa t was after.” In the proof submitted by thy majority of the committee, Cox is repres¢ ng the following answer: “It was Many other changes materially ng the issues raised by the investigation have been made in the testimony without the consentof the committee. The testimony as | detatled before the committee establishes the fact that Cox was not a real-estate agent at the time of making these purchases, but that his | services were, in some way not fully explained | by the testimony, procured by the Commission- sin the matter of purchases of real estate. ‘The fa that he acted as the agent ioners in these purchases, and fully relied on his conduct as such ent in the negotiations without ever ques- is methods or the prices submitted to them through him, cannot be doubted by any one who will read the testimony even in its ed form as submitted by the majority, Whether his agency was absolute or in nature of s quasi-agency, as stated by one of the Commission i estimony, it is im- | ersons, from de, that Co: whom the ted also as their ling the property to the District. eney enabled Cox to purchase property from the owners at a given price and te it to the District at a greater price, the profits thus realized being greatly in excess of theordinary and usual commissions paid to regular dealers in real est: For example, in the purchase of the property known as the reel precinct station, Cox's testimony as given efore the commit clearly establishes the ‘act that after the site was agreed upon as a de- ‘able one for this purpose, and a tion of the premises had been given by Mr. , Commissioner Wheatley and the chief of police. Mr. Cox pro the property for himself, which have not been explained to the sati tion of the minority of the committee, the pur- ase was had in the name of a third party, | who is shown to have had no real interest in the transaction. from which third party a dif- ferent and higher price was submitted to the Commissioners and by them ppted, the dif- ference in the two prices going to Cox, the | Commissioners paying the price accepted by them to the third party, per G. Repetti, attor- ney, which attorney is shown to have been an ested party in the original ownership of anda member of the firm of r& Repetti, who had the property for | sale as agents of real estate; so also im m: of | the purchases, ies wholly disinterested in | the transaction were used as intermediaries, | through whom the purchase and conveyances | were made when Cox was the real party in interest and the party to whom the profits inured. The testimony established the furthers fact that in most of the ca: in which Cox acted as purchaser or vender or whatever rela- tionship he may have sustained both to the Commissioners and to the original owners, it is shown that the names of disinterested part were used in the cony ces, the profits in each case having inured to Cox. The fact that the Commissioners knew or that they in any event could have known by the exercise of rea- sonable diligence or even a casual observation of the affairs of their office, the full nature of Cox's connection with these transactions in the | beginning of his operations and prior to his | opening negotiations for subsequent purchases, | cannot be reasonably questioned by any one who will read the testimony. The minority of the committee does not agree conclusion of the majority, to the | effect but two questions were raised by igation, viz.: Was any wrong or fraud | perpetrated in the several purchases in ques- tion or any of them, and, second, were the | Commissioners, or either of them, guilty of any | disposition to co-operate in any way in the ac quisition of said sites, or any of thern, at prices | above their real value;” and that *to euch of these questions unhesitating answers in the negative should be given.” But in the opinion ‘of the minority the questions to be determined | are: Did the Commissioners exercise proper | diligence and caution in the purchase of | property for the District; did they purchase [the property as cheaply they could have done by negotiation directly with the owners, and did they exercise reasonable and ordinary diligence in preventing a waste of money belonging to the District?” On these points the minority of the committee believes that the testimony establishes beyond question the fact that in most of the cases in which Cox acted as intermediary the purchase could have been made from the owners of the property at the price which the District paid, less the profits resulting from the transaction by Cox, and while the Commissioners h: not, in the opin- ion of the minority, profited or attempted to reap any profit to’ themselves from any of these transactions, they unquestionably had an understanding with Mr. Cox, their warm per- sonal friend, that he should, by these transac- tions, make an unusual and unreasonable profit. The minority of the committee is neither un- mindful nor ifferent to the fact that the duties devolving w the Commissioners are extraordinary and cult to perform; but the extraor: nature of these duties and the difficulty liable to be encountered in an efficient performance of them tend rather to establish the conclusion that the most efficient, diligent method of performing hese pur- to the as ber rogatives. the Mr. Taulbee’s report upon the school site in- vestigation, in which he takes an entirely dif- | | } | was but twenty-five years ago when this extra- THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Plain Talk of Mr. Taulbee in His Minor- | The Celebration of the Silver Anniver- | The Conference in this City Yesterday. saty of the Order.

The proces- sion re-formed and marched to the National Rifles’ armory, where the celebration was closed with a banquet. The room had been handsomely decorated with flags, the Pythian colors orange, red and blue, and pictures ap- propriate fo, the order. “Four | tables had een set, at which over 300 guests, ineluding many ladies, were seated.
