CANNOT OBsTRUCT A STREET.
Attorney DuvaIrs Opinion Respecting
Application for Permit

The attorney for the District. In the case
of Mr.. j. Maury Dove. who applied for
permission to repair certain frame struc-
lures and rebuild a fence on the line Of G
street northwest, has advised the Conmls-
sfoners that they are without authority to
Issue the permit. 1t appears that IL the
permit be granted the buildings and fence
would occupy part OF 9th street and f
street extended to the river front and the
Commissioners legal adviser says the ap-
plication for the permit raises the question
Of their authority and power TO grant a
permit to erect fence across 27th street
and to build structures within the lines of
that street.
After discussing the law upon the sub
Ject, and after referring to the decision OF
the Supreme Court in the Potomac flats
case, the attorney says: Il am of the optn-
lon that the Commissioners are without
authority to issue a permit to construct
buildings In or to erect a fence across a
public street. and this is SO wholly with
out regard to the fact that the street NAV
not have been improved. Ii is suggeste ed
that the permit might be issued as a tenn
porary permit, not conceding, but express
ly reserving the rights of the public in the
premises. This, it seems to me- would in
volve contradiction in its very terms for
the occupation which would follow and be
authorized would necessarily be exclusive
and permanent"

Result of Correspondence Over Ar
rest of Smallpox Patient.
The escape Of Amos Miller, a colored
man suffering from smallpox, from Freed
mans Hospital last month has been made
the subject Of correspondence between Dr.
William c. Woodward, the health officer,
and Maj. Sylvester. the chief Of police. 1t
is claimed that when Miller attempted to
escape from the restraint OF the hospital
authorities he drew a knife on them and
then jumped the fence. 1t Is also claimed
that when the hospital authorities tele-
phoned the eighth police precinct, asking
that the man be apprehended, some one
there stated that the health department
should be informed and that the police
could not arrest the man.
Two men were detailed by DR.. Curtis, In
charge of the hospital, to follow Miller,
and in doing SO they met Policeman He'll.
At their request he arrested Miller, and
held him until the health department Off
Gals arrived, when he turned him over to
them. DIR. Woodward, I'm commencing Off
Ger He'll for arresting the man, wrote the
District Commissioners that there should
be some definite understanding among the
police officers as to their duty in such
emergencies, suggesting that the officers
as they would in any other where their
services were required for the protection
of the community.
The police department insists that It
dCteu promptly IN the case, ana that off-
Ger He'll was in fact sent out from the
eighth precinct to apprehend Miller, and
Maj. Sylvester, in forwarding a report to
the Commissioners, said:
1T is quite in evidence that the police
acted as promptly in this case as the in
formation given warranted, and secured
the fugitive: that the hospital was at the
time without the police equipment a pri-
vate officer duly authorized to make ar
rests, which the records of the police de-
partment show that it had, and that the
health officer was hasty, to say the least
in criticising this department. l regret the
criticism should In measure cause a re-
sentful feeling on the part of the police of
the eighth precinct, who regard themselves
as unjustly censured, and who, / am sure
have all along been protecting the public
as fearlessly and intelligently as possible
in these matters"
To substantiate his statements Mai Syl-
Vester cites a number of cases in which the
police, at risk to themselves and families
have performed their duty in cases like the
one mentioned and he also refers to the
regulations and orders governing the police
department as evidence that they are in
structed to act promptly on such occasions.
1t is understood the Commissioners feel
that the correspondence shows that both
the police and health department officials
acted promptly and did their full duty in
the premises, and that no further action
need be taken.

The suit of Gilbert Meyer, a resident Of
this vicinity. against Wallace A. Bartlett
Of Rives station, well-known patent law
yer practicing in Washington, d. c., for
$1,000 damages, which has been pending
for three years, was called yesterday In
the circuit court Of Prince Georges county
at Marlboro, with Chief Judge Briscoe
and Associate Judge Merrick on the bench
After a jury was impaneled the further
hearing of the case was postponed until
today. 1t is thought the trial Will occupy
the consideration of the court for about
three days, as there are forty witnesses to
be examined.
The suit grows out of the alleged damage
to property of the complainant caused by
the overlooking several years ago of a dam
belonging to parties for whom Mr. Bart
lett was agent. Messrs- Duckett and Dent
and Charles H. Stanley have been secured
as counsel for Mr.. Meyer, while Mr. Bart
