SALOON DECISION AFFIRMED.
The Air Line Measurement From
the Soldiers Home Sustained.

The Air Line Measurement From
the Soldiers Home Sustained.
Attorney for the District OF Columbia
s. T. Thomas yesterday submitted to the
Commissioners a long opinion, in which
ha contends that the distance in the
..n,ile limit law, prescribing the limits
of the liquor traffic in the vicinity of
the Soldiers Home should be measured
By an air line.
This decision was rendered In the case
of Henry Jaeger, who for many years has
been engaged in selling bquor at retail
at No. 1918 Seventh street northwest
H. was denied license under former
ruling made by the former attorney for
the District, Mr.. Hazleton, III which il
was held. as now, that the mile should
be measured in an air line.
Attorneys Z E. Meredith and c. Maurice
Smith appeared for Jaeger, and asked
for new ruling, contending that their
client was entitled to the license, as the
survey of the distance should have been
made along the usually Travelled route.
In his opinion Attorney Thomas stated
that he holds with his predecessor that
the mile limit should be held as embracing
all that territory which is situated between
the entire exterior boundary line OF
Soldiers Home and the lines circum-
.aribing the same one mile distant SD that
there shall be distance of one mile
between the two lines throughout their
extent; and that there shall be no in
toxicating liquors sold within this terri
tory. The opinion was indorsed by the
Commissioners.

FAITHFUL JIM'S LAST RUN.

Police Patrolmen Mourn the Loss
of a Valuable Animal.
''Jim" is dead and there is mourning
among the policemen of the Sixth pre-
cipct
''JIm'' was the magnificent roam horse
which hauled the patrol wagon at Lieut..
Kelly's station, and he received fatal in
turies before daylight yesterday morning
while making a hurry-up run to First
street and Pennsylvania aTenue northwest.
The patrol call sounded for the wagon
about 2 O'Clock yesterday morning and
Driver Patrick Fitzgerald was not long in
calling out his pet, "J;m,' and hitching
him to the vehicle. Away went the wagon,
down First str eet. When d street was
reached one of the animals hind feet
was doubled beneath his body, and down
he went.
1t was found that the noble horse had
slipped on the smoothly-worn cobblestones
and broken his leg in terrible manner,
the jagged bone protruding through the
flesh.
The horse was gotten back to the sta
tion as tcnderly as possible in hopes that
his life could be saved. When the serious
nature of bis injuries were seen it was
decided TO kill Jim, and Policeman Walsh
sent a nlerciful bullet through his brain.
Driver Fitzgerald would not look at the
killing OF his pet, and the police say he
shed tears of sorrow when he heard the
shot which ended Jim's earthly career
This horse was one OF the finest in the
police department. BE was an intelligent
animal and Mr.. Fitzgerald had trained
him to perform several tricks.
