Can Be Punished on a Charge of False Pretenses — How to Secure Title to Prop- erty Purchased at » Tax Sale—Why Some Carts Cost More Than Others. ——_——_ The District authorities are going for short- weight butter sellers, and the sealer of weights and measures has been directed to make cases whenever a violation of law is discovered. measures calling attention to the butter men who were selling under-weight butter was referred to the attorney for the District for his opinion as to the power of the Commission- ers in the matter. Theopinion of the attorney's office was rendered today by Assistant Attorney Duvall, who says: “These parties can be proceeded against and punished in the Police Court on a charge of false pretenses, for the false affirmation as to the weight of the ar- ticle or any device or trick by which» pur- chaser is induced to accept » smaller quantity than thet purchased is within the purview of the statute on that subject.” Where the butter is sold ina private market the ordinance is inapplicable, although when butter short im weight is discovered it may be confiscated to the corporation and the clerk of the market could seize and sell the same. THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY AT TAX SALE, When property is sold for taxes there are two parties who ure entitled to buy the same; first, the highest bidder, and in the event of no offer the District steps in and buys, tho bid being to tho taxes due. Before the District can get a clear title, however, to the property it must go into a court of equity and enforce the liens for taxes against the property bid off by it at tax sale which has not been redeemed by the owner within two years after such sale. The District bas Yery dilatory on account of its insufficient legal force in the enforce- ment of its liens against roperty it has ought for delinquent taxes, and has never gone into the Equity Court, as required by law, for the purpose. of obteining title. Recently, however, a case arose wher: the District stepped in and bought a piece of property the aggregate delinquent taxes on which amounted to about 811,000. ‘There were other purchasers at previous sales, and in re- sponse to the request from one of these to zo into court the Commissioners inquired of their attorney as tothe proper modo of procedure, Assistant Attorney Duvall says in order to pre: paresuch « Dill it will be necessary to obiain a ehain of title exhibiting the record condition of the property and deposit it with the bill when filed, at least $10 with the clerk of the court snd with the United States marshal, 100 for each defendant to be served wish a process, If there is any available fund to cover these necessary outlays, be says, the bill in uity will be filed in the ease mentioned. The collector of taxes, he says, should furnish in each exse w report showing detail, the unpaid taxes, tax sales, cc.

Maury Dove for permission tu rent the wharf at the foot of G street when vacated by the contract for removing garbage. WHY THE CARTS cosT MORE. ‘The enginec: department of the District on! Pays 31.75 per day for the use of a horse, cart and driver, while the street swecping de- partment pays $2. Superintendent Davis wus recently requested by the Commissioners to state how it was be paid 25 cents more for this service than the District. His reply as contained inaletter today sets forth the statement that the carts used in his de- partment hold about three times as mach as those used in the engineer department, It would not be economy to use small carts in that more fr the cost of which service would many times overbalance the difference paid for the carts, NUISANCES REVOUTED, Last week 774 nuisances were reported to the were abated. + FISH coxDEMNED, There arrived at the river front Inst week 200 bushels of dysters, 6.075 bunches of fish, 30.000 herring, 1.595 shad, 68 sturgeon, $ drum Sch, 10,800 crabs, 242.000 clams aud 250 tailors.

Milk Inspector Ott procured forty-one sam- ples of milk and four samples of water last week. He also inspected fifteen dairies. WSNTS THE DOG POUXD REMOVED. Health Oficer Hammett wants the dog pound removed. He thinks the southeast corner of the Observatory grounds is the most accept- able place, and has requested the Commis- joners to co-operate with him in having it located there. At present, he says, the place isa nuisance, and the drainage from the yard residents in the neighborhood use. THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AXswEns. The Commissioners this afternoon received the following letter from the sealer of weights and.mensures in reply to the letter df Mr. Berdan Muiler, inquiring why the sealer of weights and measures gocs not prosecute the market men Yor using echles that are short weight: «Your favor of a few days inclosing letter from Mr. Maller, eabiaslig eecsteah a appreciated. Mr. Muller's letter emphasizes ‘the fact that great interest is taken by the citi- zens of — the trie rhe bus- iness and the honesty or dishones:y with which the citizens are served. In my letter of two weeks ago I submitted a list of names of per- sons who were offering for sale short-weight butter, and aeked for advice as to how to i against them. I believe my letter was referred to the counsel of the board, but as yet I have not been informed of his: decision. I have seized a number of measures—pecks and half pecks—that were pur- Pp altered so as to hold scarcely three- fourths of what they were represented to measure, and in this case, as well as the case of short-weight butter, I fear the law is not as explicit as it should be. In no case have these parties any scales. I respect- folly suggest that the board might issue an order that all persons offering butter, potatoes or similar products should have scales und should sell by weight only. I also suggest that an order directing the examination and sealing of all dry measures once a year, as it is the custom of many other cities, would tend to prevent fraud. As the rule now is once |, they are sealed for all time, but as these measures last for many years and are easily made smaller by chang- ® stave and tightening the hoops there is ample room for deception, as instanced.by numerous measures now iti my possession, There are also serious charges against hucksters selling corn in theear, but in these cases tho law is very clear. I’ respectfully call attention to the fact that my duty de- mands that I shall once in every three months enter every store, shop, market or other r places ‘where goode are sold and test the , and that this duty very fully oc- cupies my time, and while I shall do all in my Power to prevent fraud 1m the line of my futies, I ean do little more than report the cases and rely upon the police to execute the orders of the board. I shall be pleased to appear before the board and receive from them such advice and suggestion as they seo fit to WOMEN CAN SELL LIQUOR, Attorney Thomas holds that the excise board may grant woman a license to sell liquor. The opinion was called for by a request from the Commissioners who were in doubt about the matter, Mr. Thomas says: act of March 3, MeCeney of Montgomery county, Md., and Annie A. Barnitz, “The first section of the 1893, in regard to the sale of liquor in this Dix trict declares that no person shall sell in the District of Columbia any-intoxicating liquors, The letter of the sealer of weights and the stroet cleaning departmont for the reason | nent tripe would have to be made, | health ofice and the inspectors’ report that 737| is settled dangerously near a spring which the | except as Lerewith provided. The fourth section declares that ‘every person applying for | & license to sell intoxiesting liquor shall file & petition, &c.’ The nineteenth section declares ‘that mo person under a bar room license shall employ or permit to be employed or allow any female to sell, giro, furnish or contribute any intoxica- ting drinks or any admixture thereof, ale or Deer, to any person or person or persons.” ‘The 12th aillon declares ‘that in the interpre- tation of the act words of the masculine gen- | der shall be deemed to inciude the feminine as the case may be.’ My opinion is the nine- teenth section of the act does not render fe- | ineligible for liquor licenses. The, ob- ject of the law was to prevent the employment | of women as waiters or ids in drinking saloons. I have no doubt the liquor license may be granted toa woman.” ALL TO BE IN ONE BUILDING. ‘The Com missioners have decided to consoli- date the offices of the chief of police and de- tective service, the street sweeping department and the headquartcrs of the superintendent of the District fire alarm and police telephone service iu the Washington Title Insurance building on Louisianaavenue. The rental will be the same as that of the old police head- | quarters, namely, $2,900 a year. | THE CONTAGIOUS HOSFITAL. As stated exclusively in yosterday’s Stax the Commissioners have abandoned the idea of lo- cSting the hospital for contagious diseases in svnare 1112 They are on the still hunt, how- ever, for another place, and a number of real estate agents’ made offers of sites today. Several of the new ones are across the Eastern branch, although it can haraly be expected that the Commissioners site across the river. Hammett will tomorrow He believes thet this is the most ccvep:able place for such » hospital, and says that the sewe: arrangements can be made perfect and sil objections to the site removed. It is hardly io, however, ‘that the Commissioners will focate the hoepital as Dr, Hammett Proposes in view of the stremu- ous objection raised by the attorney general. : FIMENES'S EXcUREION, ‘The foremen of the fire department met in the office of the chief engineer this morning at 10 o'clock and completed arrangements foragrand family excursion to River View on July 15 for the benefit of the firemen's relief fucd.

Anexcellent authority on the subject of the | cost of entertaining such a body as the gen-| Jerat assembly of the Presbyterian Church is |the chairman of che local committee lof arrangements, Ber.

Dr. Bartlett supposes that all the printing that was done by the prosecutiag committee was a charge upon the funds of the $e w of the opinion hat the esti mate as printed in some of the newspapers that the Briggs ense, from the beginning, more than two vears aco, to the present time, has cost | the assembly €50,000 is not much ont of the | way. He thinks that Col. MeCook of the | E < committee, who isa weal: ‘man, ‘has expended on this ense out of his own pocket at least $20,000. He is the only man of | means on the committee, Dr. Bartlett eays, and no doubt paid the expenses of the other mem- | bers of the committee while they were in this } city. i , LIKE A MEXICAN REVOLUTION. Now that the case of Prof. Driggs has been | disposed of Dr. Bartlett is disposed to talk | about matters that have more of a live interest jin matters during the | two weeks that it is not surprising that he something to say on the subj bly in his pulpit yesterday. What he said, and expecially when’ he touched upon the Briggs case, was ina conciliatory spirit. As he said today to a representative of Ime Sram: “There was a Mexican revolation in progress in one section of the great Presbyterian Chureh and the church simpiy crushed it ont. It is a noticeable fact that in all the pulpits the country as reported to us in the newspapers there was, only one where a denunciation of the action of the Briggs case was heard, Presbyterian pulpit, while nomination I saw that onl ister bas e: tion and that Dr. Ecols of Alvany, Presbyterian church, has given up the church prayer meet Sunday school and has oaly one service day, His church is not much lik Presbyterian cherch, and yet be is retained in the church, which goes to show that the Presbyterian Church is not intolerant, as some say, but, on the contrary, it tolerates the largest liberty." —— a a THE CHOCTAW CLAIM, ‘The Warrant Held Up Simply as a Matter of Pradence. So far at least as the facts are concerned the reasons why the warrant for the payment of the Choctaw and Chickasaw claims will not be | paid until Secretary Carlisle returns are widely {misrepresented in the sensational story | printed in a New York -paper of yesterday. The warrant was made special, and in the due course of time came on Saturday to the | desk of Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who | Was acting as secretary in the absence of Mr. Carlisle. He was informed of the charges which had been filed with the President, and with both the Presiden: and the Secretary of the Treasury out of the city he did what was the most pradent thing and decided to await the Secretary's return. ‘The warrant | probably be signed and paid as soon as Mr. | Carlisle gets back. H —_—.— PAINFUL SITUATION, Number of Bathers Go to the Stationin ‘Undress Costume. Six colored youths, while swimming off the Tuver Vielw dock yesterday, were arrested by the harbor police. The Pentz was at her dock with about 1,000 people on board, and a large per- centage of ladies. ‘The swimmers were disporting within full view of all hands and eyes. Officers Perry and Lewis, with Harbor Cadets Neal and Ferguson, put off*in the police battean and made her boil until the crowd of violators were captured. Meanwhile the com- Panions of the arrested boys ranoff with their clothes and the situation became not only com- plicated, but painful. ‘The captives and captors stood out in the river, while the sammer girls ‘on the excursion boats choked their binehes with handkerchiefs and shaded their eyes with fans. The River View band struck up “I'll never ge there any more.” Excitement ran high. “Commodore Sutton and Capt, Dean went to the relief of the embarrassed party Blackburn, stowed the vietims away in the cabin, shaded them behind a screen, and telephoned to No. 4 for blankets and th wagon.
