Engineer Commissioner Beach has in
structed the inspector of buildings to al
| low no more excavations to be made by
builders until regular building and pro-
| lection permits have been issued to them
with the approval of the District Com
missioners and the Secretary of War
This decision is a sweeping and impor-
tant one and has only been reached after
many of the builders of the city, by
abusing the excavation permit privilege,
| forced the Commissioner in charge of the
engineering department of the District to
take such action.
All building permits issued in the Dis
trict must be approved by the Secretary
of War as well as the District Commits
sioners, while excavation permits hare
to receive only the approval of the Com
mssioners. AS matter of convenience
and accommodation to builders, who
would otherwise be compelled to wait
until the Secretary of War had approved
the regular building permits, excavation
permits have formerly been issued sew
eral days in advance of building permits
in order that the work of preparing sites
might not be delayed.
The inspector VINO Is authorized by
the War Department to visit the scene
of building operations, recently found
that many builders had gone ahead in
the matter of excavating. and begun
operations beyond the prescribed build
ing lines of the city. In several in
stances walls had been begun, and the
result was considerable difficulty. In or
der TO avoid future embarrassment in
the issuing of permits Commissioner
Beach has decided to allow no excava-
ton permits TO be issued until the regu-
lar building permits have been granted.

TAKEN UNDER ADJUSTMENT
Suit Involving Interests i'm the
Mora Claim.

The case of Fanny K. Gordon against
Annie W. Frazer and Charles Rowland
Sherman. involving interests in the Mo-
IA claim. came up yesterday morning be-
fore Justice Bradley, in Equity Court No.
/.
The complainant Gordon, seeks TO en-
join the defendants from collecting Ger
tain moneys. attached by them and now
on deposit in the Second National Bank in
this city. Some time ago, Mrs. Gordon
was sued by Mrs. Frazer and Rowland
Sherman, who obtained q judgment
against her. She applied TO the Court of
Appeals for relief. but failed to file the
required bond and the money in question.
amounting to about 500. was attached by
the defendants. Mrs. Gordon then insti-
tuted proceedings in equity, alleging that
the defendants, Frazer and Howland-
Sherman. are insolvent, and if they Were
allowed to collect the money she would
suffer irrepara bic injury.
The defendants. Frazer and Rowland
Sherman, resist the injunction asked for.
alleging that they are not insolvent and
that the plaintiffs present condition is
the result of her own negligence Justice
Bradley took the matter under advise
ment.

FILED A FALSE CLAIM.
Joseph Hawkins Is Arrested at Bal
timOre for Pension Frauds.

Pension Commissioner Evans received a
telegram from Baltimore yesterday TO
the effect that Joseph Hawkins had been
held there under $3.50 bond for perjury,
forgery and filing a false pension claim.
The details of Hawkins crime were I'M
earthed only after some clever detective
work. In some manner ne secured the
discharge papers of a soldier named
Simpson, and altered the names and facts
therein to suit his own case. Simpsons
complexion was dark in the original
papers Hawkins changed this TO read
lite and also was careless enough TO
leave the ''pson' of the soldiers name in
one place where he intended to erase it
all.
I. These discrepancies set the sleuths of
the department at work. After going
over the records of the regiment they
found the name Simpson belonging to a
soldier who had been discharged at the
time indicated in the altered papers. By
great good luck they also discovered one
of the witnesses who had signed Simp-
sons bounty papers in 1858. This witness
/ is now working in the Treasury Depart
ment and was taken to Baltimore to con-
front Hawkins. At this denouement
| Hawkins broke down and admitted that
he was never in Uncle Sans service at
