MUST MAINTAIN A FENCE.
The Allegheny Company to BE Com
PeIied to Keep Its Contract.

The Allegheny Company to BE Com
PEELED to Keep Its Contract
The District Commissioners yesterday
informed the Secretary of the Allegheny
Company which occupies ground adjacent
to the James Greek Canal. that the fence
enclosing the property must be main
tanned in order. II not, after April 15 the
company is Informed, steps will be taken
to enforce compliance with the Commits
siOners' directions.
The point al issue. as stated in corre-
spordence between the District authorities
and the Allegheny Company. is that the
maintenance OF the fence is provided for
in a lease by the Commissioners to George
f. Huh. The Allegheny Company writes
that it is found impracticable to keep the
fence in repair and TO supply the missing
parts, because of the vandalism OF the
neighbOThOOd An instance is cited In
which a fire was started in the vicinity
evidently with the intention Of destroying
the fence.
The company also states in its OWL de-
fence that the fence maintained on the
original lines Of the lease only affords a
I harbOT for tramps and coal thieves. and
permission was asked to change the fence
line 20 point fifty feet from the mouth OF
the T'iber sewer. This, the company as
serts. would afford ample protection to the
surroundings OF the flushing gates and
/ would enable the man in charge OF the
gates to protect the fence r so author
lied and would enable the officers on their
beats TO observe what is going on in the
neighbOrhOOd.
Upon the receipt OF this communication
the matter was referred TO the Auditor OF
the District who made an investigation
and reported that the land in question is
along the line OF a much Travelled street
and that without the protection OF a fence
IL would be a constant and dangerous men
ace to the safety OF the public. II a strong
enclosure were built the Auditor thought
its maintenance under fair police protec-
tiOn would not seem an impossible task.
Such being the facts in the case. the
Auditor recommended that the company Be
informed that it must repair and main
tain the fence according to the terms Of
I the lease.
The evening times., 1900-04-04

Tonight the meeting Of the District
Central Democratic Committee will be
held. at which the special committee. ap-
pointed to prepare rules and regulations
governing the primaries on April 10. will
make its report.
These in local politics who favor the
sending OF instructed Delegates TO vote for
William J. Bryan at the National Demo
cratic Convention are awaiting this report
OF the special committee with great in
terest. The fact that the committee is
composed principally of the followers Of
James L. Norris, who has declared him
self against the instruction OF delegates,
leads to the belief that II will be decided
10 have the Central Committee appoint
primary judges rather than their selection
by the voters Of the District.
That the Democrats OF the District are
greatly aroused over the probable decision
OF the committee was made apparent at
the Bryan mass meeting held last night
in Brfghtw0Od Hall
IF Mr. Norris insists upon appointing
the judges and secretaries 10 take charge
OF the voting places said a prominent
Democrat last night "a storm of indig-
nation will go up from every district OF
the city. The people are demanding fair
Bryan men 20 Kansas City, and IL Mr. Nor
ris does net conclude to ask Tor only half
OF the primary judges he will make
greater mistake than when he took his
stand against the instruction CT delegates"
It is believed by some that the special
committee may again postpone its report
in order that the rules of the primaries
may not become known until a day or two
previous TO the day Of voting. The COM
mittee was to have made its report last
week but on the excuse that IL had not
been able to select a hall in which 10 hold
the District Convention the rules and reg
ulatious were not made known II is the
general opinion. however. that fearing the
indignation that would naturally be caused
among the voters Mr.. Norris will not della
the report any longer.
It is pretty well known who will make
uo the Norris slate for delegates to the
National Convention but at Bryan Head
quarters. 1929 Pennsylvania Avenue. the
names OF candidates are not given out.
There has been much speculation as TO the
names Of the Bryan candidates, but the
Executive Committee is working silently
and with great effect. Five men who are
probably named in the Norris slate are
Mr. Norris. John A. Clarke, J. Fred Kel-
lev. William J. Donovan, and Edward
Neumeyer. William Hart is a possibility.
The Bryan rally meeting at BrightwOOd
Hall last evening was great success. and
the cheering that went up on every Occa-
sion when a speech was made favOring the
instruction of delegates showed that the
movement had captured the Democratic
voters OF BrightwOOd and that they would
be practically unanimous in support of it.
Several prominent speakers addressed last
nights meeting. They were Representa-
tive Jones OF Virginia. Rhea Of Kentucky
and Williams of Mississippi. The meeting
was a rousiug one from start to finish anC
