a QUESTION OF WALL.
Georgetown Furnishes n Chance for
II Legal Fight.

The grading of n lot in Thirty fifth
Street between Q and r Streets, recently
purchased by Louis Schneider. has given
the Attorney for the District and members
of the District bar generally food for
thought. If it were Schneider's property
alone which was affected by the grading,
there would be no occasion to give the
matter second thought, but unfortunately
the interests of his next neighbor. j. Bar
ton Miller. are also, it is said. endangered.
When Schneider purchased the lot its
front was five feet and its rear twenty-five
feet above the level of the street. Miiler's
lot, upon which stands his residence. was
practically of the same grade. 1t is be-
lieved that the grading of Schneider's lot
may cause the adjacent ground of Milier's
lot to cave In consequence, it will be
necessary to construct n retaining wall,
and now the question arises. who shall
bear the expense of building it?
Mr. Miller's attorney, Jesse II. Wilson.
in long opinion, concludes that Mr..
Schneider must bear the expense.
The case is particularly interesting at
this time. as it bears upon the liability of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
to reconstruct part of the wall lining the
canal near Thirty-second and Grace
Streets, which collapsed last winter. prac-
tically rendering foundationless the ad-
iacent lot. belonging to A. Lee Lowe. which
case the Commissioners have now under
consideration.

ONLY A FEW ATTENDED.
But Little Interest Shown in tn
Texas Flood Sufferers.

Texas Flood Sufferers.
Only few members of the general COM
mittee of citizens in charge of the Texas
relief work in this city answered the call
of the Chairman. Commissioner John B.
Wight, for a meeting yesterday afternoon
at o'clock in the Board of Trade rooms.
The committee accomplished considerable
work and took action in number of i'm
portant matters which have been consid
cred advisable by members OF the subcom-
mittee for some time. A letter was read
from j. n. johnson, a colored Texan in
terested in the work. Mr.. Johnson pro-
tested against the use of $2S collected by
the colored people for the purchase Of seed
for which the Texans were said to be in
great need. He also claimed that the
amount raised by the colored committee
had not been duly accredited through the
press and feared that II had not gone 10
its proper place. Mr.. Wight pointed out
to those present the fact that the sum had
been credited through the columns Of The
Times and it was decided to let Johnson
discover the fact for himself
Mrs. Fannie W. Gresham, who has re-
Gently returned from the flooded districts
OF Texas, reported that the conditions there
are such as to demand the attention of all
the Red Cross Society could do considerable
good work among the destitute people, 1t
was decided to write letter to Governor
Sayers saying that the District of Columbia
would do all in its power to secure the aid
of Miss Clara Barton if her help were
needed
The question of seed then came up. The
treasurer was authorized to spend S1S for
garden seed it being possible for the com
mittee at this time to secure $500 worth
at that price. 1t had been the intention to
allow the colored people to purchase the
seed with the $2S they have raised, but
since they have objected the amount will
come out of the general fund. 1t was de-
cided that under the circumstances the lee
ture which was to have been given by Chief
Postofiice Inspector Clum should be post
pcned until cooler weather.
A motion of Mrs Gresham was carried
providing for circular letter to be sent to
prominent Washingtonians who have left
the city asking for subscriptions. Mrs.
Gresham, who is native of Texas, made
an earnest plea for her State.
At the request of the committee of col
ored Texans residing in Washington the
names of the following colored people were
added to it: DR.. c. B. Purvis, John F.
Cook, Lem Bailey. Joseph Shorter o. l..
Mauly, W. C. Chase. and f. L. Cooper.

COMMITTED TO EARTH.
The Body of Dorsey CIngett Buried
at Oak Hill.

Funeral services over the remains of
the late Dorsey Clagett were conducted
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
house, 2o15 G Street northwest The simple
and impressive burial service of the Epis-
copal Church was read by the Rev. DR..
William R. Turner, of st. Michael and All
Angels Episcopal Church. The casket lay
in an alcove, covered with flowers, while
near the head rested the Templars' ia
tigue cap worn by the deceased. Many
friends were present and the rooms were
filled with those who had come to pay
a last tribute to his memory. Each word
of the Scripture seemed to fit the life OF
the man over whose body it was being said,
and those who remembered the many gen.
erous and noble acts of Mr.. Clagett felt
that he had taken with him the love of his
fellow-citizens. 1t was Mrs. Clagetts wish
that no flowers should be sent, but while
only a few roses were placed upon the
coffin beautiful AMI appropriate wreaths
were sent by the Loyal Legion and the Ma
sonic societies of which the deceased was
a member.
The body was escorted from the resi-
dence to Oak Hill by Washington Com
mandery No. 1, knights Templar, and by
Lebanon Lodge No. I. A delegation from
the Loyal Legion, Burnside Post, G. A. R..
and the Washington Stock Exchange at
tended the funeral. At Oak Hill the burial
service was read by the chaplain of Leban-
on Lodge, of which Mr.. Clagett had been
a member for many years. The interment
was made in the family lot during the
rainstorm which passed over the city yes
terday afternoon.
The honorary pallbearers were Samuel
Cross, w. A. Gordon, James p Willett.
A. a. Wilson. Frank Carver and Robert

A last appeal for cash had to be made
by the Dewey home fund committee yes
terday. At a meeting of that body it was
discovered that Treasurer Roberts had re-
ceived only s16.7OO in cash. When the
project was launched it was hoped that
many thousand dollars would be subscribed
IN order that the gallant hero of Manila
Bay might be given a home worthy of his
valor and the deeds of his men.
Guaranteed contributions will bring the
subscriptions up to s21, 700, but this amount
is far less than was at first desired. There
have been $4,000 subscribers, which would
make the average subscription less than 81
for each person, and, incidentally, shows
that the middle classes have been the
most eager subscribers to the fund. Tn
doubtedly this would be pleasing to the
Admiral. who is a man who is deeply
touched by the generosity and appreciation
of the unpretending Americans One thing
strikes the observer-even casual one
in giancing over the subscription list The
wealthy men of the country have not
subscribed as their means might seem to
warrant. In almost every large American
city there are men of wealth and position
who might build the home alone without
much inconvenience.
''One of the most deplorabie things about
the whole project" said prominent Off
cial last night, lis the manner in which
Washington has held aloof. This city is
TO be honored with the home and yet its
citizens have been willing to go on record
as having contributed only few hundred
dollars, not half a thousand. while San
Francisco, away out on the Pacific Coast,
has subscribed about 81, 200. 1t seems that
Washington, which is to enjoy the distnc-
tion of having the brave Admiral live here
probably for the balance of his life ought
to do more than 1t has and should give more
substantial evidence of its admiration of
the Admiral. There are men of wealth
here who have not contributed a cent and
who might easily send in a large check to
the committee. II home is given to the
Admiral, as l am told there will be any
how, Notwithstanding the fact that only
about s21 600 is now in sight, it should be
worthy of its future occupant Inasmuch as
the home is to be built here, Washington
should lead all other cities on the sub
scription list"
The committee will build the home even
though not another cent is subscribed. The
men on the committee are yet sanguine and
feel confident that large number of sub
scriptions will be received. A final appeal
is made to the public to subscribe at once,
If at all, so that subscriptions may be closed
before the arrival of Admiral Dewey III
New York in September. Souvenir receipts
will be issued to all persons sending in
subscriptions. Contributions should be for
warded TO Hon. Ellis II. Roberts, Treas
urer of the United States
