SHOULD BE REFUSED.
An Opinion Adverse to Claims for
Property DESTROYED.


Property Destroyed.
The attorney for the District today rem
dered an opinion to the Commissioners re-
garding the claims of Messrs. George L.
Anderson and Charles E. Williams. for
s14.15 and $3.50, respectively, being the
values given by them of their wearing ap-
parel. ETC., alleged to have been destroyed,
by direction Of the health department, to
prevent the spread Of smallpox.
The health regulations in regard to
smallpox provide among other things, that
the inspector detailed to attend to the
removal OF smallpox patients shall fumi-
gate and disinfect the dwellings, where
smallpox cases occur, and he shall see that
the clothing Is properly disnfected pack
ed up. carried safely to the almshouse and
destroyed. and that he shall keep an ac
count Of the clothes or furniture, which
has been destroyed the probable value
OF the same, and the names of the parties
to whom they belong, and give a receipt
for the same.
The law does not provide for payment
under any circumstances, but only for an
inventory OF The clothes or furniture of
poor persons which has been destroyed"
The destruction by the health office of the
furniture and wearing apparel of these
claimants was for the benefit of the public,
n order 10 prevent the spread Of an in
rectious disease. In such cases there Is no
coHiiiou law laDllty. Inc destruction OIL
clothing and furniture, says the attorney,
to prevent the spread OF smallpox is like
the destruction of houses to prevent the
spread of conf1agration, and Is not a TAX
ing OF private property for public uses,
for which compensation is to be made. He
says that these claimants are not within
the class of poor persons" designated in
the statute. The destruction Of the ar
ticles for which claim is made appears
to have been made at the direction of the
claimants themselves, according to the
report. The attorney is of the opinion that
the claims are not well founded at law,
and should be refused.

The Crush mt the Opera.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In view of the impending crush at the
Opera House during the opera season be-
ginning Thursday night.it behooves the au-
thorities to rigidly enforce the law forbid
ding the occupancy Of the aisles or aisle
steps by spectators. The writer well re-
members the opening night Of the Ameri-
can opera season some years ago. at the
same opera house, when the aisles were
packed with spectators seated two abreast,
making a solid mass of humanity around
the whole crescent, with no pasasgeway
whatever for egress in case of a panic. 1t
is hoped that Major Moore will detail a
sufficient force of police to prevent any
violation Of the law referred to during the
approaching operate performances. P.
