thereto. the title being in Cruikshank, and
after his death, in his heirs. There is nc
claim that the owners were in any way
misled or damnified by the assessment in
the name OF Reintzell.
The Attorney further states that it fur
Their appears that the said west ten feet
of lot 25 was sold to William Manogue a,
tax sale in 1888 and in 1900. The Attor-
ney then quotes section 156, r. S. D. c.,
which provides: That no sale of real
property for taxes shall be impaired
or void by reason of such prop
erty not being assessed or advertised
in the name of the lawful owner The
Attorney then refers to laws passed re-
spectively, on March 3, 1883, and April "a,
1886. in which ii is made to appear that
if the act iirst referred to was repealed
by the law of 1883 the taxes could be re-
assessed under the law of 1896.
After thus summing up the facts and the
law applicable to the case the Attorney
states that he is of the opinion that the
application should be denied.
The Excise Board have passed upon SIG
applications for liquor license and yes
terday signed the certificates for all but
about seventy, which have been held up
for further consideration.

RIVER AND HARBoR WORK.
Discussed by East Washington Cit
xens' Associations.


Discussion of the improvement Of the
Anacostia River and the harbor of Wash
ington divided interest with the consid-
Grafton of the bond issue idea for the
completion of public improvements now
under way in Washington. at the regular
meeting of The East Washington Citizens
Association in Bauffs Hall, in Fourth and
East Capitol Streets, last night. Improve
ment Of the Anacostia River and fats is a
matter that has long been agtated by the
association and preparations will be made
to urge Congress to make the necessary
appropriation during the present session.
The members present seemed to think
that the resolution providing for a loan
of s1O,000.00O. which has been adopted by
several OF the various citizens associa-
lions, was worded in such n manner that
the suburban sections would be most
benefited. The clause pertaining to street
extension seemed Objectionable to the
members. although they heartily acqui-
esced in the clause that set forth the need
for completion of the sewerage system
After considerable discussion the follow
ing resolution was adopted in the stead
of the one sent to the association by c. c.
Lancaster. President of the Citizens
Northwest Suburban Association. the or
ganization which first adopted the bond
issue resolution.
Resolved. That this association favors legisla-
ton which will provide funds by bond issue for
the purpose of completing the sewerage system
according TO the plans approved and adopted
from the report of sewer experts.

LANcKToN WANTS A NEW TRIAL
Attorneys Seeking to Save Mrs.
wrenn's Alleged slayer.

The greater part of the session of the
Criminal Court was occupied yesterday in
hearing argument on the motion for new
trial and arrest of judgment in the case

Gently convicted of mansiaughter. At the

baugh, who presided at the hearing. took

PENDANT was represented by Attorney

sistant District Attorney Ashley NJ. Gould.
Lanckton was put on trial about three
weeks ago in Criminal Court No. /,

Wrenn last March The trial lasted a
week and the jury which heard the testi-
mony returned a verdict finding Lanckton
guilty of manslaughter Lanckton was a
boarder at Mrs. Wrenn's home, 634 Z
Street southwest, and, ii was stated, was
to marry her in May. While intoxicated
on the night Of March IL it was alleged
that he went to Mrs. Wrenn's home and
assaulted her. As a result OF the wounds
inflicted by Lanckton it was stated that it
was necessary to remove Mrs. Wrenn to
the Emergency Hospital where she died.
In his own defence Lanckton testified
that he never struck Mrs. Wrenn, but had
always treated her with the greatest care
and consideration. He accounted for a
blood clot found on her BRAIN by the cor
oner at the autopsy. by stating that she
fell from small bench or stool upon
which she sat on March 10. In her fall
he declared that she struck her head on
the foot of the stairway near which she
