Question of Interest to Students OF
High SchOOl-Brfefs.

High SchOOI-Brfefs.
There is some speculation among the
students OF the Western High School as to
whether or not the issue of the Western
will be resumed. The paper is the official
organ Of the school, and last year its exist
ence was suddenly ended by mandate
from the faculty, because it was stated
that the scholars In charge of the publica-
ton were poking fun in verse at the teach
ers. The suppression caused considerable
discomfort among the students at the time,
but the order for the suppression was final.
Whether the prohibition extends to the
present school year is the question.

for Leave I'm Excess of An
nual Allowance.
]. w. Thompson, a constituent Of the
Speaker of the House, was appointed Janu-
airy 1, $780, an officer Of the Washington
Asylum. During the first year Of his serv-
Ice he did not avail himself OF the oppor-
tunity to take the annual leave of thirty
days allowed him. but did 80 this year.
He recently asked for an extension Of 1t,
with pay, basing his request on the ground
that he had no leave during his first year
of service. He wrote to Speaker Hender-
son. detailing the circumstances, and the
the District Commissioners with the hope
that the extension would not operate to
stop Mr.. Thompson's pay.
The Commissioners referred the matter to
Mr.. w. H. Stoutenburgh, the intendant OF
the asylum, who reported that, in view of
the fact that Mr.. Thompson had no leave
during the first year of his service, his re-
quest for additional leave. with pay, seemed
to him (Stoute 1burghO to be a reasonable
one, and one which he would be very glad
to see granted If possible.
The case was next referred to the District
auditor whose deputy, Mr.. A. Mckenzie,
has advised the Commissioners to deny the
request.
After citing the law relative to annual
leaves Of absence, Mr.. Mckenzie states that
the law provides for an extension of leave

member Of the immediate family is afflicted
with a contagious disease and requires the
care and attendance of the employe, or
where his presence would jeopardize the
health of his fellow employees. and in ex-
ceptional and meritorious cases, where the
employe is ill, but in no case, says Mr.. Nc
Kenzie, can the extension exceed thirty
days.
THE controller Of the treasury" states
Mr.. Mckenzie, holds that this law is APP
plicable to the District Of Columbia so far
as it Is not Inconsistent with the act MAX
ing appropriations for the District approved
March 2, 1895, which authorizes the Com
missioners. in their discretion, to grant
leave Of absence to per diem employees.
Failure to take or get annual leave in one
year does not enttle the employees to in
creased annual leave in another.
THE applicant for leave in this case Is a
regular employee of the Washington Asy
lum. It does not appear from the papers
herewith that he Is Ill, that his presence
on duty would jeopardize the health Of
other employees or that any member Of his
immediate family is afflicted with a con-
tagious disease and requires his care and
attendance Therefore. 1 am Of opinion
that his request for extension Of leave, with
pay, beyond thirty days should be denied"

corning Location of School.
Since their acceptance of the proposal OF
Mr. Joseph 1. Weller to sell to the District
lots and Z. square 617, as a site for col
ored public school house the Commissioners
have received many protests against the
location of the school thereon from the
property owners and residents Of the vicin-
ity. Among the protests was one from the
Homeopathic Hospital, based on the ground
that the noise from the children attending
the proposed school would be injurious to
the patients at the hospital.
Upon the motion of Commissioner Ross,
the attorney for the District was re-
quested by the Commissioners to inform
them whether or not they may recede from
their acceptance of Mr.. Weller's proposal
to sell. Mr.. Ross based his motion upon
the numerous protests filed against the
purchase of the site for the purpose named.

A party wall question has been decided
by Justice Cole in the case of Isaac Often
berg against John Heath. The plaintiff
sued the defendant before justice of the
peace to recover for the use of the party
wall. The defendant. whose property adj
Joins that Of the plaintiff. set up the plea
that more Of the wall was upon his prop
erty than upon that Of the plaintiff. and
consequently the title TO real estate was
involved. He obtained from the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia a writ Of
certtorari, claiming that the justice of the
peace had no jurisdiction to try the issue,
as title to real estate was involved.
Mr.. Maurice d. Rosenberg, attorney for
the plaintiff, argued motion to quash the
writ of certiorari on the grounds that the
wall was a party wall even though ii was
on the property of the defendant; that
therefore the question of title did not arise
and the justice of the peace had full juris-
diction to try the cause.
Justice Cole sustained this view, auashed
the writ Of certiorari, and remanded tho
cause for trial before the justice of the
peace. Attorney Edmund Burke appeared
for the defendant.
