Relating to a Subdivision.

DR.. A. B. Jameson and Mr.. A. F. Hen
dershott own tract of land of several
acres north Of Piney branch. They have
donated four and one-half acres of it to
the District. and have applied to the Com
mtssioners for survey of the remaining
land. in order to be able to partition II
between them. A plat of the land made
by them was approved by former board
of Commissioners. but it was never re-
corded, and objection is now made to the
survey by the engineer department on the
ground that it would amount to subdi-
vision of the land, which is prohibited, 1t
is centended, under the law relating to the
extension Of streets and highways.
The owners Of the land had a confer
ence with the Commissioners today, their
attorney. Mr.. w. L. Cole. presenting the
case. Commissioner Ross expressed HIM
self as believing that they are entitled to
what they desire. while Captain Burr, the

ON THE POST OFFICE BILL
The House Considers it Under the Five-Min-
ute Rule. Il
Measures On the Calendar Taken I'm
and Passed by the Senate
National Quarantine.

Without preliminary business, the House
of Representatives today went into COM
mittee of the whole and resumed consider
alton of the post Office appropriation bill
| under the five-ninute rule. ~
Mr.. Sperry (Conn) offered an amendment
| to increase the allowance for clerk hire
from s11,OO0,OO0 to s11,30o,c0O. The latter
| was the estimate of the Post Office Depart
ment for this item.
Several n embers advocated the amend
| ment, testifying to the fact that postmas-
tiers in their districts were inadeuuately
provided for in the matter of clerk hire
The vote on the amendment was tie,
S5-S5 and Mr.. Hull Qowa), who was in
the chair defeated it by casting his vote
in the negative.
Another amendment to increase the clerk
hire allowance $500 900 was Immediately Of
fered, and in the course of the debate mem
bers representing rural districts seemed In
clined to array themselves against those
from the great cities on the ground that
the appropriation for clerk hire was alb
sorbed by the big offices.
Mr.. Hepburn Qowa) gave notice that he
should offer an amendment to allow the
Postmaster General, in his discretion, to
use half a million of the appropriation in
third and fourth-class offices.
The amendment was strongly antago-
nized by the appropriations committee. 1t
was defeated-4S to 60. Mr.. Hepburn then
offered the amendment, of which he had
gwen notice.

THE KILLING OF GEORGE RYE.
District Attorney Preparing to Sub
init Case to Grand Jury.

District Attorney preparing 10 sun
init Case to Grand Jury.
Every effort is being expended by the Of
ficials of the district attorneys Office in the
direction of the preparation Of the case
against Daniel ]. Canty, who was held
criminally responsible yesterday by coro-
ner's jury for the death of George NJ. Rye.
The matter will be called to the attention
of the grand jury Monday next, or as soon
thereafter as is possible. The grand jury
adjourned yesterday until Monday, so that,
even though the district attorney might
have the case in readiness prior to that
time. it would be impossible TO secure
action by the jury without specially as
senbling that body.
The indications are that, in the event the
facts are found to warrant such action, an
Indictment will be reported against Cahty
before the close of next week. He will be
| arraigned and his trial begun without less
Of time. Nothing was known this after
room at the district attorneys office OF
other portions of the city hall building of
any intention the part OF CAVITY s
counsel to make application for the
release of the defendant on bail, pending
action by the grand jury. Any such action,
1t is believed, would. in view of the verdict
of the ccroner's jury and the circumstances
of the case, be strongly opposed by Dis
trict Attorney Davis.
Assistant DlStrlct attorney SnllllnStOn
and Mr.. Harvey Given this afternoon visit
ed the scene of the shooting, in order to
thoroughly familarize themselves with the
details Of the affair. Several photographs
of the locality were also taken today in
order that the grand jury and .he court
may be enlightened to the fullest degree in
/ the future consideration of the case.
In view of the preparations necessary in
the case growing out of the shooting of
Rye, it has been found inconvenient to
call for trial Monday next. as was intend
ed, the case Of Frank Herbert Miles. Miles
is under indictment for embeZzlement in
connection with The issuance of tax certifi-
Gates while he was in the employ of the
District of Columbia. The trial will be
postponed until early next month. In its
stead, however. Benjamin Slater and Isaac
Kenner, indicted for manslaughter in con-
nection with the recent death of Skaters
wife, will be placed on trial, the hearing
taking place before Judge Bradley in Grim
inal Court No. 2 Assistant District Attor-
ney Shillington will prosecute the case.

the Torrey bankruptcy measure
The question is now pending in confer
ence between the two branches of Congress
Mr.. Butler denounced the Dill passed by
the House as a fraud upon honest men and
declared that the circular letter which had
been read established the fact that the
powerful lobby working here in favor of

thing to gain it's point.
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.) inquired where the cir
cular letter came from.yt
Mr.. Butler replied that it had been sent
to him by commercial traveller of his
acquaintance whose name he could not dis
close, lest the man should lose his position.

Chief Justice Alvey Of the court of ap-
peals has written to Mr.. Mcmillan, chair
man of the Senate committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia, saying the justices Of
the court of appeals have, according to re-
quest, examined the provisions of the
House bill $3.50, entitled, IAN act to quiet
land titles in the District OF Columbia" now
before the Senate committee on the District
of Columbia, and they all think the object
of the bill a very proper one for remedial
legislation.
The provisions Of the bill.'' Judge Alvey
says, would seem to be such as are proper
for the purpose intended with, perhaps, one
exception, and that is as to the proviso,
that is how far back will the saving of
rights by reason of disability relate to pre-
vent the attaching Of rights by adverse
possession. This may not be real diff
Guilty. or it may be one that can be re-
moved by reasonable construction
