AUTHORITY QUESTIONED.
Attorney DuvalPs Views of Obstruct
ing Streets Because of Illness.

Attorney DuvalPs Views of Obstruct-
ing Streets Because of Illness.
The attorney for the District, Mr.. A. B.
Duvall, has advised the Commissioners that
their right to authorize the obstruction of
public streets on account Of the serious ILL
ness of persons in the vicinity is question
able The opinion was rendered as the
suit of request made by the health officer,
DR.. William C. Woodward. who desired 1t
for his guidance, the health officer also de-
string to ascertain the duties devolving upon
the municipality as the result Of the is
suance OF such permits.
AS stated above, the rights of the Com
missioners to authorize such distractions
Is, in Mr.. Duvalls opinion. questionable, he
being of the further opinion that the exist
ence of such distractions can be justified,
if at all, only by the exceptionable gravity
of the situation, and that the District Is
bound, through its own officers, to give no
tice Of the distractions by lights and signs.
so az to prevent persons travelling the
streets from coming in contact with them.
This opinion, it is understood, the Commits
sioners have approved. and 1t Is said to be
impossible for the authorities either to make
satisfactory inquiry into the special c1rcum-
stances of each case so as to determine the
gravity of the ton, or to maintain the
required lights and warning signs, except
through persons not employees of the Dis
trict and not responsible to it. Dr. Wood
ward has recommended that the issue of
permits for the obstruction of streets be dis
continued, at least until Congress shall
have made provision therefor. This recon-
mendation, it is believed. the Commission
ers will approve.
In his report for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1900, DR.. Woodward stated that
the number of permits issued to obstruct
travel on streets so to secure quiet for
persons seriously Ill has continued to in
crease. In 1S97-9S. he said, the number of
such permits Al in 1S9S-99, 81 and in
1Can Wa vav,er ~ fiY,ofa
covered by such permits. he further stated,
also increased, the average for the first
fiscal year being ia days. The number Of
physicians signing certificates in order to
secure the issuance of the permits was: In
1S97-9s, 40: in 1S9s-99. 4s, and in 1S99-19OO,
81. In dismissing the subject DR.. Wood
ward renewed a recommendation Of his that
the Issuing of permits to obstruct streets on
account of the illness of persons in the vi
cinity be either regulated by law or discon-
tinued.

escorted to thenpoiice station of the sixth
precinct about Noon today, but no arrest

kissed and made up.
Later Judge Mackey called on Sanitary
Officer Frank and made another application

DULLCANVASS IN DELAWARE
POLITICAL LEADERS ENGAGED IN
WATCHING EACH OTHER.
Prospect That the State Will Go for
Mckinley, but Elect Demo-
cratic Legislature.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WILMINGTON. Del. October 29.-Some-
thing startling In a political sense would
relieve the monotony of the campaign In
Delaware. where the sameness is oppres-
sive. This, of course, Is not due to any
laxity on the part Of the various party
managers, but rather to the indefatigable
vigilance exercised by them in watching
their opponents so closely as to head OF
the usual crop of ante-election schemes and
''roorbacks."
The excitement incident to Mr.. Bryans
addresses here has quite subsidized and po-
litical opinion is divided in a purely parti-
san manner as to the effects Of his efforts
as vote makers. the conservative estimate
being that their potency was marred by
what has been largely deemed insincerity.
The various committees have been occu-
pied during last week In receiving and tab
ulatfng the registration returns through the
state, and there Is no evidence of any per-
ceptible change in the situation as stated
by your correspondent. There will be
number of appeals in registration cases on
both sides, and Judge Spruance, who will
hear the cases, will have busy week in
Strengthening out all the entanglements
There is no hope that any union of the
republican factions can be consummated in
either Kent Sussex counties: the time
for such has passed. and the result will be
a democratic legislature without doubt. 1t
Is alleged that the democrats are resorting
to all sorts of expedients to engender strife
between the republican factions in New
Castle county, hoping thereby to gain
larger majority on joint ballot than the
three or four which is at present indicated.
The single takers seem to be deriving the
most enjoyment out of the campaign of any
of the parties, for they are "agin'' every
body save themselves and, incidentally, Mr..
Bryan. They don't like anything purely
republican and they detest everybody and
everything connected with the democratic
machine, which they blame for all their
political suffering. Their latest cause for
displeasure Is the refusal of the democratic
county committee to permit them to march
in the Bryan parade.
Former Representative L. Irving Handy
is like red flag to a bull to these men,
and there is a numerous array of politicians
In his company who are constantly goading
the single takers on to all sorts Of furious
onslaughts.
The republicans are not, apparently, max
ing many demonstrations, but they claim
with the utmost assurance that their work
Is the quiet kind which tells, and are salts
fed with no prospective plurality of less
than 5000 in the state.

ASSESSMENT OF BENEFITS.
Arguing Before the Supreme Court on
the Street Extension Act.


Arguments were made in the United
States Supreme Court today in the case of
John B. Wight, John w. Ross and Lansing
H. Beach, Commissioners of the District of
Columbia, appellants. against Charles H.
Davidson. A. Wilson and John B. Lar
ner, trustees. appellees, involving the act
for the extension of street.
Mr.. B. F. Leighton, attorney for the ap-
pellees. addressed the court and was fol-
lowed by Andrew B. Duvall of counsel for
the appellants.
In the United States Supreme Court to-
day counsel for the appellees argued that
the act upon which the proceedings in this
case are based is unconstitutional, because
it arbitrarily fixes the amount of benefits
TO be assessed upon the property, irrespec-
tive of the amount of benefits actually re-
ceived or conferred upon the land assessed
by the opening of the streets referred to-
Also that the act is void because it con-
tains no provision for notifying the owners
OF the property to be assessed, in advance
of such assessment, or at any time pending
the consideration of the cause by the Jury,
as the proceedings under which the assess
ment was made do not constitute due pro-
cess of law. In conclusion, Mr.. Leighton
asked that the judgment of the Court of
Appeals be affirmed.
Mr.. Andrew B. Duvall of attorneys for
the appellants argued that the Court of
Appeals erred in holding that the pro-
visions of section l of the act of Congress
approved February Is. 1899. in relation to
the assessment of benefits are unconstitu-
tional and void; in holding that it is be-
yond the power of Congress to prescribe a
minimum limit below which the assessment
o. benefits for public improvement may
not fall; In holding that the determination
OF the amount of actual benefit resulting
from public improvement is not a legisla-
tive but a judicial act; in holding that the
act Of Congress in question is unconstitu-
tional and void because it fails to prescribe
due process of law for the persons whose
lands are to be assessed for benefits, and
In finding and holding that as to the ap-
peiiees In this case there was not due
process of law. Counsel concluded by ar
guing that the exceptions to the verdict.
award ana assessment of the jury were
not well taken, and that the Judgment of
the court below should be reversed and the
Judgment of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia affirmed

TWO RAILWAY DEFENDANTS,
Suits for Damages I'm Amounts AgRre-
eating $4,000.

Mary A. Ryan today began suit against
the Metropolitan Railroad Company for
$4,000 damages for alleged personal in
juries. The plaintiff declares she was a
passenger on one Of the defendant COM
pany's cars the 9Th of September last,
proceeding along Connecticut avenue, and
that the car came to a stop at L street.
She attempted to alight, but alleges that,
through the negligence and carelessness
on the part Of the employees in suddenly
starting the car, she was violently thrown
to the ground and seriously shocked,
bruised and injured. She claims lameness
of serious and permanent character en-
sued. Eugene Carusi & Sons are attorneys
for the plaintiff.
Suit for $4,000 damages was also fnsti-
tuted today against the Capital Traction
Company by Charles Walsh and his wife,
Lizzie Walsh. The latter alleges she was
injured August 16 in attempting to aIight
from car of the defendant company at
18th street and Pennsylvania avenue. The
vehicle, she alleges, was started while she
was stepping off. In consequence of the
ensuing fall, she declares. she was inter-
nally and permanently injured. Eugene
Carusi & Sons are attorneys for the
plaintiffs in this case also.

The apportionment of representation in

a general way the population has increased

and through that influence there have been
some very great increases in certain por-

COL. PEARRE WELL PLEASED.
Meetings In Mining Region Last Weel
Well Attended.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, October 29.-Col.
George A. Pearre says that the republican
meetings held throughout the mining re-
gion last week were the largest ever held
in that section, no party excepted. Great
enthusiasm prevailed, and Col. Pearre is
of the belief that the reported disaffection
among the miners has been much eXag-
gerated. Col. Pearre devoted a portion of
his speech to the labor record Of his OPP
ponent, Major Charles A. Little, in the
Maryland house of delegates in 1884. There
were five bills. respectively, limiting hours
OF labor in Maryland for all minors under
sixteen years of age; to regulate hours of
labor of conductors and drivers employed
by horse railway companies; to regulate
hours of labor of Workingmen in Mary
land; to regulate hours of labor of work
ingmen employed in and about the mines
of Allegany and Garrett counties, and to
provide for collection of statistics and in
formation concerning the various branches
of industry in Maryland and the needs
thereof and the abuses which exist there
In Col. Pearre quotes the journal on
Major Little to show that he either direct
ly or indirectly voted against all these
bills.
Republicans are much amused over the
reports in circulation in other counties
that Col. Pearre may lose his own county
of Allegany. The lowest estimate of his
republican friends is 1000 majority, while
many claim from 1900 to 1,SOO. The dem
ocrats concede from 800 to COO. 1t is be-
lieved Col. Pearre will carry Cumberland
by 900. He will receive a large compH-
mentary democratic vote in this city.
Tonight Col. Pearre will speak at Rock
vile. tomorrow night at Hagerstown and
on Wednesday night at Cumberland, with
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith
and John NJ. Reynolds, former assistant
secretary of the interior under Cleveland
He will devote the rest Of the campaign
to Frederick county. speaking at Freder-
lex Emmtsburg, Thurmont and Bruins
wick.
1t is not believed that the advice Of Or
ganizer William Warner to the miners of
the Georges Creek region to vote the dem
ocratic ticket because Gov. Smith pardoned
seven miners who were serving terms in
the house of correction for unlawful as
sembly in connection with the recent strike,
will be much needed. The strike was very
unpopular, at least SO per cent of the
miners at heart not having been In favor
of it. The miners are now making more
money than ever before, many drawing
from 800 to S115 per month. The repub-
licans believe the great prosperity existing
will keep their vote intact.
Scott kelso. weH-known horseman here,
Las covered the 5000 bet made by George
D. Landwehr that Maryland would go

in the Citizens National Bank, of which

The bet Is even, and 1t Is said several

DEMOCRATIC CAPITOL POLICE.
Denial of q Recent Sensa-

A letter addressed to The Evening Star,
signed by all the democratic members OF
the Capitol police force, denies emphatically
a recently published article that sugges-

personal interest they ought not to exercise
their right of franchise at the coming cleo

"As members Of the force, and democrats.
we desire to contradict the statement that
any partially or preference has been shown
in any way in the granting Of leaves Of

cans, will remain on duty during the cleo
