The Arguments for the Defense Continued Before Judge Miller Today. Yesterday afternoon after Tae Stam report closed in the Bush liquor case, Mr. Clarke, for the defense, con- cluded his argument and Gen. Birney, also for the defense, begun his argumrnt. Gen. Birney said he noticed that there had never been any- thing said to indicate claim that the holders of licenses under the act of 1871 were liable under the new law during the present license year. He said he bad procured from the license clerk a copy of the regula tions under which the contract between the Commissioners was made. Reading the con- tract he snid his client bad been given the right under it to do certain things until November of this year. He held that the contract must cer- tainly hold good until the expiration of the time stated therein. Refe-ring to the decision of the Nau case he said that under that decision the license under the act of 1821 assumed the form ofa revenue tax. He argued that such being the case it was certainly not in the power of the court to exact an additional penalty as though @ police law had been violated. GEN. BIRNEY RESUMES TODAY. This morning after the regular session of the court Gen. Birney resumed his argument. He proceeded to argue upon the right of Congress toenact measures for the condemuation of property for public uses, but he maintained that Congress cannot take private property for public use without just compensation. HIS PROPERTY COULD NOT BE TAKEN. Gen. Birney, continuing, said having proved that this license was clothed with all the for- malities of a contract, and that for # considera- tion paid by Bush the privilege was granted to him of centinuing his business until October 31, 1898, his rights became a vested right of property, not to be taken by Congress, except under the right of eminent do- main, before a proper tribunal with an oppor- tunity to him to appear and prove by witnesses the value of the property taken from him. READING AUTHORITIES. Following this he rexd an authority to show that a local act making final the unlicensed sale of liquor in a designated place is not affected by a later general Inw regulat- ing the sale of such liquors in the particular jurisdiction, He read additional authorities to show that the vested rights of the holders of the licenses under the old act still remained. JUDGE MILLER'S REMARKS. Judge Miller said that that was the very pith of the case. There was no question about the repeal of the act of 1871, and all the authori- ties thus far produced are in support of that idea. It is also true that the Commissioners will grant no licenses under the old law and the regulations surrounding it. He thought that the two acts could not run concurrently an: the question was whether the contract, claimed by the defense, between the Dis and the holder of the license was still binding. The court referred to the O"Donnell case, and said that if persons holding licenses under the old law are entitled to continue business there can be no prosecutions against them for viola- tons of the Sunday or after-hours law, for the reason that the law imposing the penalties has been re} i | | A CASE IN MISSOURI. Gen. Birney cited the case of Andrews vs. the state of Missouri, a decision upon the act regulating dramshops, reported in the 28th Missouri. Under thie decision it was held that ‘only dram shops could sell liquor in quantities less than one galion, but that grocerw’ licenses obtained prior to ‘that act were not affected thereby. “The .”" he read from the decision. “cannot revoke licenses that were bought and paid for, but they can enact a law providing for the repeal of the act granting the licenses.” THE O'DONNELL Case. Before taking a recess Mr. Clarke said that the defense had uot had the benefit of the O'Donnell decision so often referred to and asked the judge if he would not give the de- fense an idea of that decision. Judge Miller said that O'Donnell was com- Iained against some time in the winter for weeping an unlicensed bar prior to March 3, 1893. ‘The charge was regularly made and the case set for trial. but the time of the trial was subsequent to March 8, the date of the going into effect of the new law. There was no trouble about hearing the case, but when it came to imposing a penalty the court was less, as the law providing the penalty had | | ony repealed. | “But in that case,” remarked Mr. Clarke, the defendant had no license at all.” “None whatever.” said the judge. “and the case is fully covered in the Maryland and Mis- souri decisions.” ‘The court then took « recess. SECTION SEVENTRES. After recess Gen. Birney resumed his argu- ment and paid special reference to section 17 of the act of 1893, which provides for “‘all per- sons who have had a license during the preced- ing year,” and attempted to show that the deal- ers were protected by this section. A QUERY BY JUDGE KEMMALL. During the discussion Judge Kimball asked if | the Commissioners did not hold back licenses | for some time after November 1 in anticipation | of Congress giving them a new law and if when | it was thought there would be no law enacted | they did not grant the licenses. “That is true,” replied Gen. Birney, ‘“‘and it was done because the Commissioners did not lowed about the action of Congress in pass- the bill at the last hour, and the intent of Congress was also discussed. ‘The bill, Gen. Birn , was voted for by friends and enemies of the saloon men and it was certainly understood by them that sec- | tion seventeen made good their old li | protected them in their eales under it Gen.

WATER TAXES. ‘The Commissioners’ Power in Regard to Rents and Main Taxes. AN IMPORTANT OPINION PROM THE DISTRICT LAW OFFICER—THE POWER TO LROISLATE—TRE COMMISSIONERS CAN FIX BATES AND ENFORCE PAYMENT—a bet CF REGULATIONS. ‘The most tmportant opinion rendered by the assistant attorney during the year was handed to the Comanissioners late this afternoon. It is an opinion defining the condition of the law in relation to water rents and water main taxes, and demonstrates that the Commissioners have the right to legisiate on the subject, and are thereby enabled to straighten out the tan- gled condition of things. This matter was first brought to the atten- tion of the Commissioners by Capt. Lusk just before! . retirement from ti ition of ns- of water, lights and sewers. In presenting this matter he called attention to the inequalitice of the law, how a different system of taxation prevailed in Gecrgetown, Washington and the county, and how import- ant it was that steps be immediately taken to remedy the existiny ; He accordingly, upon the advice of Capt. Lurk, prepared the following reguiations on subject, and apon hisrecommendation the Com- sent them to Assistant Attorney ran opinion as to whether under the + granted them by chapter 8 o7 the Re- vised Statutes, relating to the District of Columbia, the ‘authority in question is lodged in the Commissioners, and also whether the propored regulation: in due form; also in order that the attorney may draft an additional regulation which will enable the Commissioners to enforce the collection of the water main taxes. THE REOULATIONS, The reguilaticns are as follows: 1, That so much of section 6 of the act of the legislative assembly entitled “An act to author- ize the commissioners of the sinking fund to ixsue certificates to pay for Inying water mains and providing for the assessment of water mains and fire plugs in Washington and Georgetown,” approved June 23. 1873, as relates to the assessment of water main taxes in the District of Columbia is hereby repealed. 2. That herea‘ter immediately upon the com- pletion of a water main the superintendent of the water depariment shall report the said completion to the chief clerk of the water de- partment, who shall cause to be prepared an assessment of water main tax, which shall be submitted to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia for their approval and signature, 3%. That such assessment, after approval and signature by the said Commissioners, shall be returned to the chief clerk of the water depart- ment for record and service of notice. 4. That upon the completion of the entry of an assessment upon the records of bis dopart- ment the chief clerk of the water department shall proceed to cause notice of such as- ressment to be served on each proprietor of property so assessed if he be a resident of the District of Columbia, and bis residence be known to the department, and if ke be « non- resident, or his residence unknown to the de- partment, such notice shall be served upon the tenant, or agent, if known to the department, andareturn of such service shall be made under oath stating the manner in which such service was made and be filed among the records of the water department, And the ser- vice of such notice shall, in gli cases, be either personal on said proprietor, tenant or agent, or by leaving the same with some person of suitable age at the residence or place of business of such proprietor, agent or tenant, Property against which the assessment is made. 5. That the notice of assessment shall state the number of the square, the lot or part of lot, or parcel of ground, and lineal feet of frontage thereof upon the main so aveessed, the name of the last reported owner thereof, the amount of assessment charged against said property, and a copy of the acts of Con- gress approved June 10, 1879, and June 17, 1800, relative to the water service of the Dis: trict of Columbia. 6. That hereafter the assessment of water main tax shall be at the rate of $1.25 for each lineal foot or fraction thereof in which any lot, sub lot or parcel of ground binds, touches or abuts upon any street, avenue, alley, highway, road or space in which any water main shall be laid by the District of Columbia or the United ‘tates, 7. That the said tax shall be due and payable in four equal installments, the first of which shall be payable within ‘thirty days from the date of the notice and the other three shall be due and payable annually, o:2 ineach year, dating from the time when the installment became due, and all of the said installments shall bear interest at the rate of 10 per cent per annum, commencing from the date of notification of the assessment. 8. That hereafter the owner of the property assessed for water main tax may, at his option, at eny time after the assessment pay the samo in full, and if the said tax shall be paid in full within’ thirty days from the time notice was given of the levying thereof an abatement of 6 per cent shall be allowed on the whole amount of the assessment. THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY'S OPINION. The opinion of the assistant attorney is as follows: “Congress, by chapter 8 of the Revised Stat- utes of the United States relating to the Dis- trict of Colum intended to confer upon the District assembly very full legis- lative authority in regard to the water serv- ice. It was intended to give that body power, among other things, to establish an an- nual scale of water rates, and to provide for their collection. The levy water main tax lots in proportion or their area, and to provide for their collection. In 1873 the District assembly, in order to defray the expenses of laying water mains and the erection of fire plugs, passed an act authorizing the levy of * special tax of 13{ cents per square foot lot or part of lot which binds in ‘or touches on any avenue, street or alley in which a main water pipe here- after be laid or fire plugs erected,” pro- vided the time and mode of assessment. The government of this District, of which the assembly was part, was abolished June 20, 1874, and the revision of the statates of th District approved June 22, 1874, two di later, so that the legislative assembly in g the act of June 23. 1873, must either Bite acted under the act of Congress approved March 3, 1859, conferring ‘on the corporation of Washington to pass ordinances in regard to the water wervice, supposing that the goverament existing in 1873 was the legal successor of the old corporation of Washing. ton, or under its general power under the act’ of February 21, 1871, to legislate on ‘all rightful subjects of legislation.’ nt on whatever theory of legislative power the uct of June 23, 1873, was passed, the Revised Statutes, title ‘Water Service,’ jar as the District their frontage ms of chapter 8 of the Revised re drawn from several acta of Con- ess approved March 3, 1859; May 21, 1862: March 3, 1863; June 17, 1864; July 25, 1866, and July 14.'1870, in regard to the water services of Washington and Georgetown. The act of March 3, 1859, conferred the same powers sud- stantially upon the late corporation of Wash- ington that chapter 8 of the Revised Statutes was designed to confer upon the legislative assembly. ‘The codifiers, in preparing the Revised Statutes of the District, supposing ued, simply used its name instead of that of ' the por Washington, which before the approval of the code was abolished. Subsequently Congress recognized this defect in the law, and by an act approved June 10, 1879 (21 Stat, 9), remedied it by in- corporating into that act by reference the provisions of ghapter 8 of the Revised Statutes, except such powers, duties and limitations as were reserved to the chief of engineers, so that chapter 8 of the Revised Statutes of the District may now be constraed as though it read ‘the Commissioners shall have authority, &c.,’ instead: ‘the legislative assem- bly shall have authority, &:. “It is a rule in the interpretation of statutes that, where a subsequent statute refers to the provisions of an older one which has expired or become inoperative, the provisions of the old statute ted so far as it is not with the subsequent act. this result when both acts relate to the same W. 8.

TRE CONCLUDING ARGUMENT OX BOTH sIDES— AFTER A CHARGE FROM JUDGE x'cOMAS THE JURY RETIRES TO CONSIDER THEIR VERDICT. In the Criminal Court this morning the tria of Theodore G. Arnold for the murder of John Kramer in June Inst was resumed and Mr. H. E. Davis for the defendant entered upon the close of his argument. He called to the attention of the jury that the only question for them was the charge of mur.cr. They were not trying the question of morality. He knew that it was difficalt for them | to give full credence to one who had been liv- | ing a lie, but they were to take the whole evi- dence. Was there ever a caso, he asked, presenting such extremes of faithand dcklenese? Did you ever have todo with a ease that had in it so much of the glory and shame of woman as this? ‘Mr. Davis ciosed at 11:35 o'clock. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY CLOSES. Mr. Birney, the district attorney, then made his closing argument. He did not, he said, want to try the case on the record of one’s life, but on the record of June 15, 1892. Mr. Binney urged that their was no fear in the mind of Arnold; that the motive was hatred, jealousy and rage. JUDGE M'comas’ CHARGE. When the district attorney had concluded Jadge McComas proceeded to charge the jury. He defined murder and told the jury of what malice consisted and said that “if you afe fatisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant uniawfully killed the deceased with malice aforethought, you should return verdict of guilty as indicted. If you are sat- isfied beyoud o reasonable doubt that the defendant unlawfully killed the deceased without malice, you should return s verdict of guilty of manslaugh- ter. If the evidence fails to convince you that the defendant is guilty of either of these crimes, you should return a verdict of ‘not guilty." The jury then retired. — THE CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL, Bids for » Site Opened by the Commission- ers Today.

He said he was standing on the north-bound track be- tween Benning and Deanwood. Saw Morse about 7:30 walking along the track north- ward between the rails. The engineer blew the whistle three times when about 100 yards from the man. ‘The engine was shifting t cars and wgs making in the same direc- tion in which the man was walking—northward. ‘The train, which was « pretty long one, was not | moving very fast, The man made no attempt to get off the track, £0 far as witness could see. Heard no one ery ‘out to the man, After the engine hid the man from view witness next saw the man the track beneath one of the box cara. engine, tender and -several cars passed over the man. There was no coweatcher on the engine. “There was a step on the front of the engine about four inches from the ground. Tho engineer did not slow up until after the engine struck the man. After be struck the man the engineer blew for brakes, slowed up and stopped. ALFRED HARRIG, Alfred Harris, another colored man who saw the accident, said the man was struck in the head, whirled around und dragged beneath the cars for nome distance. After the train was stopped the man was found lying beneath one of the oars, his body parallel with the rails. THE ENGINEER'S STATEMENT. J.D, Anderson, 509 South Capitol street, the engineer of tho train, said that when coming around the curve atthe Union stock yards be saw the deceased on the north-bound track, standing sideways. The man then began walking along the track in front of his train. When about 100 yards away from the man witness blew eight or nine short blasts, the danger signal. The man not getting off the track ho blew for brakes, reversed his engine, rang the bell andcontinued blowing the danger signals. Witness applied the air brakes on the engine. there were none on the rest of the train, and in addi- tion to continually ringing’ the bell and blowing the danger signals, hollered at the man. The train was running at from twelve to fifteen miles an bour. About half of the train had passed over the deceased when the train was finally stopped. The rails were in bad condition. That is, slippery from the moist weather. ‘There were ‘two.brakemen, a flagman and conductor on the train. Could not say whether or not the brakes outside the engine ware applied before the man was struck. bell was rung from the time the crossing was reached. At that time the man was sbout 150 yards away.

They applied the brakes, as did the other train THOMAS 8. HOPKIXS. ‘Thomas 8, Hopkins, an attorney of this city, identified a letter signed by him which was found on the person of the deceased. He stated that the dead man had been in the Pine Ridge campaign and becoming disabled through exposure had been discharged about » year ago and sent on to the hospital at the Soldiers’ Home here. The man was not deaf, but was in the first stages of harden- ing of the braiv. Because of that his mental faculties had become slow in operation, and witness was confident that accounted for the man's not stepping from the track after being warned.
