Unnecessnrx Arrest.

Howard Knox and Policeman Cox figured
In case in Judge KimbalTs court this
morning. The former is boy who lives at
the corner of Sd and G streets northwest,
and the policeman arrested him because he
and a companion were standing on the
corner in front CT his own home. Accord
ing to the evidence Of the boys they had
been on the corner just about three min
utes, trying to determine which way they
would go. The policeman said that the
keeper of the drug store had complained
about a crowd of boys standing on the
corner. and he Che officer) had spoken to
the boys when he saw them sitting in the
yard in front of the house Lawyer Wood
worth appeared as counsel for the boy be-
cause he is acquainted with him and he
knew something of his good conduct about
that corner.
Policeman Cox had more to say about the
complaints than he did about the particu-
lar boy, and he told the court how he put
on his citizens clothes and played Getec-
tive on the boy.
During the trial Of the case 1t was
brought out that there are several saloons
not far from this corner, and in which
crowds are permitted to congregate with
out fear Of molestation. Counsel thought
1t was not a good thing to drive the boys
from pillar to post until they were finally
forced to drinking places, and was at a
loss to know just why the boy should have
been arrested.
complaints made about boys and said that
number Of complaints had been made
about boys at corner in the same neigh
borhood. The Judge said he would Certainly
take no action that would tend in any way
to drive boys to drinking places. He said
he would dismiss the case and he hoped
the officer would have no further trouble
with boys about this corner,

No Good RenSOn

Relative to the request of Rev. F. H.
bill, pastor of the Metropolitan Wesley A.
NJ. Zion Church. representing the residents
in the vicinity of Sd and D streets south
west, that the public pump on that corner
be retained, Capt. Burr, in his report to
the Commissioners upon the subject, states
that the chemist of the health department
and the District chemist have each report
ed that the water in the we'll at the corner
OF Sd and d streets southwest Is sus-
picious. The latter chemist has recon-
mended that the well be closed and the
same has been approved by the Commits
sioners. There are public pumps at the
corner of Sd and c streets, I'd and E
streets. also hydrant on d street between
Sd and 4th streets.
Under the circumstances, says Capt.
Burr, there does not seem to be any good
reason why the well in question should re
kept in service, and he recommends that
the previous order of the Commissioners be
executed. 1t Is the Commissioners inten-
ton to close this well without delay.

THE RECEIVER ANSWERS.
Washington Endowment AssOciatiO
md the Commercial Insurance Co.

Washington Endowment Association
and the Commercial Insurance Co.
In the case of the Washington Beneficial
Endowment Association against the Com
mercial Alliance Life Insurance Company,
VIM. T. Gilbert, the receiver of the COM
states that the charter CT the company
was annulled and the concern dissolved on
the 10th of last January. Excepting those
set forth in the contract between the Or
CARNATIONS all other alleged negotiations
are denied. The receiver says that the
property of the association, 419 10th street,
Is not worth $4,000, it being, in his opinion,
not worth more than So, 600. 1t is claimed
by the company that but $4,000 was paid,
and it Is asserted that policies of insurance
in the Commercial Alliance were rendered
to certificate holders of the Washington
company. and accepted by some. Mr. Gill
bert denies that the Commercial Alliance
promised to hold the real estate in trust
for certificate holders, that beneficiaries'
claims have become vested rights and con-
stitute lien upon the real estate He
deries, too, all allegations of fraudulent
practices and Misrepresentation in connec-
ton with the purchase in August last.
A valuable consideration was given by
the Commercial Alliance for the 10th
street building, it is asserted. although it
is denied that this consideration has fail
ed. 1t Is pointed out that the complainant
does not offer to return the money paid.
Mr.. Gilbert makes these statements upon
information.

THE WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL.
The Building Inspectors, Says There IN
No Cause fer Alarm.


No Cause fer Alarm.
A number of personsf who have children
attending the Western High School, in
Georgetown, have expressed their opinion
that the school ought to be closed while
repairs are going on. az. In their judgment,
the present condition Of the building Is
dangerous.
According to Building Inspector Brady,
however. there is no cause for uneasiness
or comment in regard to the condition of
the building. Recently the. work OF putting
in new stairways was begun. One staircase
Is now finished, and, during work on the
other, the pupils of the school make use
OF the first in passing to and from the
large exhibition hall on the upper floor OF
the building. The improvement -necessita-
ted the setting back of the upper landing
the large doors. and the passage way has
therefore been reduced In size.
The principal. Miss Wescott, urged that
the school be closed during the work, as
she feared the result would be disastrous
II a panic should occur and the 215 pupils
attempt to pass through the narrow door
way The application was refused and
tnereupon the situation was made public.
Building Inspector Brady told Star re-
porter that II Miss Wescott would permit
the door to be removed from the hinges all
would be well. This afternoon Mr.. Brady
intends to begin the construction of a YES
Iipuie projecting into the exhibition hall
mis- will be completed by the time the
school convenes on Monday morning, and
the present difficulty will, he saws then be
permanently remedied. Until this after
noon, added Mr.. Brady, the doorway may

WOODBURY. Citizens.

The WOODBURY. Citizens Association met
Tuesday evening at Kelly's Hall, with
President Walker in the chair.
Mr.. John Meiklejohn reported that he
had seen Mr.. Claude F. King, secretary of
the Brightwood Avenue Association, and
arranged for a conference with the Com
missoners in reference to the crossing at
the junction of Rock Creek Church road
with Brightwood avenue. Said crossing is
in bad condition, and dangerous to the
life and limb of both man and beast.
The question of hedge fences then came
up, 1t being shown that several were al
lowed to grow for years without being
trimmed, thus encroaching in some in
stances some six or eight feet upon the
public roadways, and on motion the road
committee was instructed to make COM
plant to the Commissioners and ask that
remedy be provided.
After appointing a committee of one to
have five hundred blank receipts printed
and transacting some minor business the
meeting adjourned.

A FIRE ESCAPE AMENDMENT.
One Forwarded to Congress- by the
Commissioners.

OOmm1S81Oncf8s
The official Of the building Inspectors
office in charge Of fire escapes, Frank YER
million, has prepared proposed amend
ment to section of the act for the further
protection of property from fire and safety
Of lives in the District Of Columbia. The
present law relating to fire escapes is
claimed to be defective. One instance is
that the District government is authorized
to erect fire escapes on private buildings
and collect the cost Of the same by law.
but no money has ever been appropriated
with which to do the work. Again. it is
provided that all buildings fifty feet III
height shall be equipped with fire escapes.
This Is considered faulty in that a three
story house may be fifty feet in height
while Eeighboring structure three stories
In height may evade the law by being
few inches less thar fifty feet in height.
The Commissioners have forwarded the
proposed amendment to Congress, and
recommended favorable action thereon. 1t
provides that 1t shall be unlawful to issue
a license to the lessee or proprietor of any
building used as a hotel, factory, manu-
factory, theater. tenement house, hall or
place of amusement, or any other building
used for business for which a license Is
required, unless the application for such
license is accompanied with the certificate
of the inspector of buildings that such
building Is provided with fire escapes.

and descriptive notices. The failure or
neglect, after thirty days notice. of the
owner or lessee of any building above
named, or the trustee of any building
used as a seminary, college, academy, hos
pital or asylum, to provide fire escapes, as
required shall render such person or per-
sons liable to a fine of not less than $50 nor
more than 800 for each day he or they
shall fail to provide the same, the fines
to be collected by prosecution In the
Police COurt in the nf fha District
In cases of default of Iessees, trustees or
owners in putting up fire escapes, the
Commissioners are empowered, and 1t is
their duty, to cause fire escapes to be
erected. and they are authorized to assess
the cost thereof as a tax against the build
ing on which they are erected and the
ground on which the same stands, and to
issue tax lien certificates against such
building and ground for the amount of
such assessment. bearing interest at the
rate OF 10 per cent per annum, which GER
tifcateS may be turned over by the Com
missicners to the contractors for doing the
work. The lessees. owner or trustee, as
the case may be. of any such building, who
shall fail to erect fire escapes, as provided
shall be liable to an action for damages in
case of death or personal injury resulting
from fire in buildings not provided with
fire escapes, as required by law, and that
such action may be maintained by any
person or persons now authorized by law
to sue as in other cases of injury or death
by wrongful act. On any building which
the Commissioners shall determine to be
fire proof they may. in their discretion,
require the erection of fire escapes.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock there
was a lively scene enacted in Herfuth's
cigar store, corner of 18th and G streets,
where there was trouble about partner
ship dispute. 1t is said that DR.. Steger. a
government clerk, had put his money in
the establishment and was a silent partner
In the firm. He tired of the partnership
and had gained possession of the premises
until yesterday, when party of men, act
ing under Mr.. Herfuth's directions, took
possession. He did not want the stock. but
only wanted possession OF the premises, so
he had the men remove the stock from the
building. There was no blood shed and the
affair will probably have to be settled in
