DISTRICT REFUSES RELIEF.
Engineer Says Property Owners Must
Maintain Retaining Wall.

Engineer Says Property Owners Must
Maintain Retaining Wall.
J. H. MCGOWAN has written to the Dis
trict Commissioners calling attention to
the condition of the retaining wall and en-
bankment on Newark street. west of Con-
necticut avenue. Morris Hacker, the super
intendent of roads. reported to the Com
missioners that during the last heavy rain
fall portion of the retaining wall and
bank was washed away. He recommended
that the work to remedy the washing Of the
drainage over the wall be done by the
county road force when at work on New
ark street. ~.
Captain Newcomer, the assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, recommends, how
ever, that no action be taken In the case.
and that the writer be Informed that the
District assumes no responsibility for the
maintenance Of retaining walls or slopes
adjoining roadways sidewalks, the con-
Sistent practice Of the office in this respect
being to leave these matters In the hands
Of the owners Of the abutting property.
Captain Newcomer says that the indorse-
ment of the superintendent of roads, recon-
mending that the work be done, was based
on the view that the Wark proposed would
be justifiable on the ground that it would
keep the roadway gutter clear of materials
that otherwise might wash into it from the
bank above
'It appears to me, however, concludes
Capt. Newcomer, that 1t would be an un-
desirable precedent to esta ablish to do work
of this kind, since 1t would doubtless be
cited by other parties desiring similar work
done elsewhere" Capt. Newcomers view
of the matter has been approved by Col
Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner.

MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM TURKEY.
Naturalixed Americans Who Refuse to
Give Up Their Allegiance.

The State Department confirms the report
that Mr.. Eddy. our charge at CONSTANT
nople, is in correspondence with the porte
relative to the proposed expulsion Of nat
uralized American citizens from Turkey I'M
less these citizens abandon their allegiance
to the United States. Owing to the alb
sence of a naturalization treaty between
the United States and Turkey our govern
ment has no special authority to interfere
IN behalf Of these naturalized citizens as
against an edict Of expulsion. The re-
lance upon broad principles of common in
ternational law Is not very strong for the
principle that nation may refuse to allow
its citizens to change their nationality has
been pretty strongly established. But ad-
mitting the right of expulsion. the United
States government has itself q right to in
sist that this shall not be attended by
hardship, such as might result from the al
lowance Of very limited period Of time for
leaving Turkey, and 1t Is probable that Mr..
Eddy will take advanced ground on that
point. IL he cannot secure the abandonment
of the projected order of expulsion.
