NOT A PUBLIC ALLEY.
Attorney Duvall Says Gate is Matter
of Private Concern.

of Private Concern.
Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the attorney for the
District. has rendered an opinion to the
Commissioners upon the complaint of Mrs.
James Wood, concerning the condition of
an alley in square 603. between South Cap
itol street and New Jersey avenue and D
and E streets southeast. Mrs. Wood also
complained of the erection of a gate at
the entrance to the alley. Mr.. Duvan holds
that the alley Is not a public one. In his
opinion he says:
1T appears that on May Is, 1873. the
owner of original lot 10. in square 693, re-
corded in the Office Of the surveyor Of the
District Of Columbia, subdivision of said
lots into lots 81 to SO, inclusive, with alley
ter feet wide for the sole use and benefit
of said subdivision.
Section 4sO. Revised Statutes of the Dis
trict of Columbia. provides as follows:
The ways, alleys or passages laid out or
expressed on any plat Of subdivision shall
be and remain to the public or subject to
the uses declared by the person making
such subdivision, at all times under the
same police regulations as the alleys laid
off by the Commissioners on subdivision
with the original proprietors
1.-The owner Of said lot 10 expressly de-
clared in making the above mentioned sub
division that said alley was for the sole
use and benefit of said subdivision, that is.
uses, but to the private uses declared. I
am Of the opinion that the alley is not a
public one, that its care and it's obstruction
By gate Is purely a matter of private
concern. The attention of the assessor
should be called to this lot. and if the
area Of the alleyway Is exempt from tax
aticn it should be listed as taxable prop
erty.'

Expressions of Appreciation.
Returning to the subject of the Vacation
School, Professor Riordan said:
THE industrial committee cannot be too
highly praised for pushing the business of
the school along and making it possible to
be ready at such early date. Major
Twombly has sent here away in advance
all the necessaries of preparation. and
everything has been done to further the
work
''Our picnics on Saturdays will be de-
lightful affairs for all. l am sure. The
lower four grades in one group and the up
per four grades in another will be taken
on alternate Saturdays for frolics and good
times generally in the woods. We will go
to Benning, Cleveland Park. Chevy Chase.
Brightwood and Glen Echo. and the last
trip will be made to Great Falls in wagons.
Mr.. Harries. whose interest in the Vaca-
ton School has been great since our first
experiments, and who has always helped it
with voice and substance will furnish with
out cost to any one but himself cars neces-
sary for the transportation of the children
on their outings.
The establishment of the Vacation
School as part of the public school sys-
tem," said Professor Riordan. in conclu-
sion. 'is due, 1 must honestly say. to the
helpfulness extended to us by The Even
ing Star. Public attention was really first
aroused by the articles in The Star about
our early days at the Mccormick School
and We are all under everlasting obligations
to your great paper"

Tax Deci.ion. Submitted.

Mr.. H. H. Dapneille. the District assessor,
has forwarded'isevetal tax decisions to the
Commissioners for their approval. In re-
gard to the application OF Mary I. Posey he
recommends that penalties and interest on
the tax for the second half Of the year 1885
be remitted. because the item was left out
of tax certificate issued to her. the renis-
sion to date from the day the certificate
was issued. Walter H. Hilton. secretary
of the Real Estate Title Insurance Com
pany, requested the cancellation of the tax
for 1886 on certain property because OF It's
omission from a tax certificate on the faith
of which the property was bought. The
omission was caused by the fact that the
tax was not listed on the arrears book al
that time. but has since been corrected.
Mr. Darneilie has recommended that the
collection of the tax be barred as to any
purchaser subsequent to the issue of tie
certificate. Similar action was taken In a
parallel case upon the application of Thos:
Hoy for cancellation CT the tax for 1891
against property owned by him.

DEATH CAUSED BY GANGRENE.
Coroner Certfflex as to the Cause of
President Mckinley'S Death.

Coroner Certfflex as to the Cause of
President Mckinley's Death.
Buffalo, Sept. 16.-The coroner of Erie
county yesterday issued the following
certificate of death of the late presi-
dent:a
"City of Buffalo, Bureau Of Vital Sta
tistics, County Of Erie. State of New
York. Certificate and Record of Death
of William Mckinley: I hereby certify
that he died on the 14th day of Septem-
Der, 1901, at 2:15 o'clock a. M, and to
the best of my knowledge and belief the
cause of death was as underWritten:
Causc--Gangrene Of both walls Of stom-
ach and pancreas following gunshot
wound"
No skill of the surgeon could have
saved William Mckinley. Iie died not
Of peritonitis, nor of heart trouble, but
manifestly Of gangrene.
The autCLsy, which was conducted by
surgeons different from those in at
tendance. and under the direct super
vision of the district attorney, whose
stenogra cher made the official notes,
showed clearly that the president was
marked for death from the first. and
no medical skill could have prevented
fatal ending.
There was a distinct track of gam
creme from the opening to the place
where the bullet finally Judged in the
muscles Of the abdomen. The two
holes in the wall Of the stomach We're
found to have been closed up properly
but the tissues around the stitches
themselves were covered with gan
grenc, showing that the bullet had left
q poisoned track along it's entire path
tkrt ugh the body, du., to the grease or
dirt, in all probability, which sur
rounded it.
The autopsy shows that the bullet
which caused death touched the upper
end Of the kidneys, also Involving the
rancreas. and it is probable there
would nave been serious difficulty IN
this regard later on.
There was no sign of peritonitis, and
to this extent the diagnosis Of the sur
geons was entirely correct. The prcsi-
Dent did not die from blood poisoning,
nor was the toast and coffee he was
given particularly fatal to tie suffering
patient.
The walls of the heart We're found ex-
ceedingly thin and the organ showed
the effect of the constant smoking to
which the president had been addicted
for so many years. The heart action
was necessarily weak, bat it was not
this which killed him any more than
pe1itonitis.

That committee has been In almost con-
continuous session ever since and has
already set a number Of subcommittee
to Ork.
Adit. Gen. Gyger Of Gcv. .lash's staff
appeared before the committee and ten
dered the entire national guard of Ohio
for escort duty on the day of the fu-
neral. Gen. Gyger announced that the
state would bear all expenses of the
escort, asking the city only for ground
upon which to pitch the tents of the
1000 men expected. This matter was
left ITO Lieut.. Col. Hairy F'rease Of
Gen Dicks staff. and grounds were Sc
lected just at the eastern poroer OF tn
city.
Knights Templars from a number of
cities, Masons from Canton and vicinity
and numerous other societies rendered
escort services, but in view of the ex-
pecteG congested condition of the city
on that day these offers were temper
arily tabled.
