ScuffoId.

John Fitzgerald and F. L. Smith, two
workmen employed at the navy yard. were
seriously injured yesterday morning by
the breaking Of !. scaffold upon which

fold, which was a considerable distance
above the ground. II broke and both meB
were thrown to the earth. The ambu-
lance was summoned, and both men con
yeyed to the Emergency Hospital. 1t was
found that Smiths right arm was frac-
tured and the thumb SO badly crushed
that amputation was necessary. He wa
also suffering from internal injur es

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Edward BnwIer Accused of Passing
worthless Checks.

Worthless Checks.
Edward ]. Lawler. formerly New York
newspaper man, was arrested Monday
morning on Pennsylvania Avenue by Po-
liceman Sanford and Murphy and locked
up on a charge of forgery. The police
have been looking for Lawler since early
last week, when complaint was made at
Police Headquarters that he had forged
the name of a certain Representative TO
a check for SIS, and had succeeded in
passing it on a friend. The forged check
had been torn from large book issued
by the Columbia National Bank.
Inspector Boardman notified the larger
cities to look out for Lawler and sent a
good description of him to the various
police departments. The matter was also
brought to the attention of the grand
jury and numerous witnesses have already
appeared before that body. Lawler is
said TO have operated quite extensively
in Baltimore, but 50 far no formal com
plants have been received from that city.
His principal victims are said to be
former acquaintances whom he would ap-
preach with a hard luck story and either
induce them to cash his check or have
them endorse 1t and have it cashed by
some one else. He gives his age as forty
years and claims New Haven as his home
The policemen who arrested him while
standing near Seventh and Pennsylvania
Avenue had Lawler pointed out to them

Eczema is caused by an acid huinor in

skin and producing great redness and in
fammation little pustular eruptions form

dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema in any

long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

NJ. Blumenthal of 1864 NJ Street north
west. recently wrote to the Commissioners
requesting that the notice served on him
relative to the encroachment of a shed
upon the alley IN square "a, be counter
manded In his letter he informs the Com
missioners that he bought the property at
public sale. and was given to understand
at the time that the stable and shed were
on the building line, and that they were
put up under permit from the District.
Mr.. Rlumenthal further states Ihat he
coutemplates at some future time building
two houses on the vacant lot, and for the
reasons stated asks that the notice be re-
vOked, promising that when he builds that
he will remove the stable and shed within
the building line.
H. NJ Moss, the Superintendent of
Streets, in reporting TO the Commissioners
on the matter, stated that the official plat
placed in his hands with the order to pave
the alley in square "a shows that there
are numerous distractions on said alley,
so that it might happen if the privilege
asked fer should be granted it would be
followed by similar requests, thereby de-
laying the paving of said alley. Mr.. Moss
further states that in order to meet She
requirements for the best grade for said
alley parties have lately been given ground
to accomplish said purpose, after a proper
presentation of the facts Mr.. Moss says
the best interests of the District, in his
opinion, will be conserved by refusing the
request.
c. B. Hunt. the Computing Engineer in
forwarding the report of the Superintend
ent of Streets to the Engineer Commits
sioner, takes occasion to say that he has
made personal examination of the sheds,
and he finds that they encroach about
foot upon the alley to be paved. He states
that there are no difficulties of an unusual
character to he overcome in removing the
same within the building line. Mr.. Hunt,
therefore. recommends that the writer be
advised that the District must insist upon
compliance with its notice.

Henry b. LOCKER Surveyor of the Dis
trict, has requested the Commissioners tc
authorize him to proceed 10 Annapolis
Nd, for the purpose of examining docu-
ments on file there pertaining TO the orig
inal records of certain additions 10
Georgetown. Mr.. Locker informs the
Commissioners that since the death OF
Mr.. Brewer, the former Surveyor OF
Georgetown, there has been so much great
er demand upon the central office for sur
veys of Georgetown that the Surveyor
feels it necessary to avail himself as
quickly as possible of all means extant
for doing this work correctly. Mr.. LOCKER
states that he wishes to secure, if posi-
BILE. an accurate list of the data on the
subject, which he understands is at An
napolis He adds that it is important that
he make personal examination of what
is there.
The request has been approved by the
Commissioners.

intendent of Schools, to Dr. Richard
Kingsman. Chairman Of the Committee on
Buildings. Repairs, and Sanitation, ia re
latiGn to the insufficient heating of GER

ton was referred TO the Commissioners

terms 'two-furnace buildings" The list
includes Brent, Maury, Twining Morse,

The Attorney of the District yesterday
returned to the Commissioners with his
report upon Senate bill 1923 and House
Resolution $3.50, authorizing the Com
missioners to convey a certain parcel Of
land to Leroy Tillman, trustee being a
portion of public alley in square 1873. The
Attorney states that Mr.. Siddons. attor
ney for the party in interest, at his sug-
gestion, has drafted a substitute bill upon
the subject, which he forwards to the
Commissioners.
The Attorney states his belief that the
substitute bill avoids the principal objFc-
ton to the original bill, and he informs
the Commissioners that its form is some
what similar to the act approved Deem
Der 81, 1898. authorizing the extinguish-
ment of an alley in square i65 The at
tention of the Commissioners is called to
the fact that the substitute bill declares
that any title of the United States or of
the District of Columbia in and to the
alley shall vest in Lewis Tillman, trustee.
Mr.. Duyall states that he has very much
doubt whether he would take any title to
the land under the act because the alley
was a mere easement. and when such
easement is abandoned the fee will revert
to the original dedicator by operation OF
law.

The Senate Committee recently submit
ted to the Commissioners a letter received
from TIE Northwest Suburban Association
requesting the construction of sewer
along the west side of Rock Creek to the
Branch Road and thence along said road
and connections to the District line. The
Commissioners have now prepared state
ment upon the matter to be submitted
TO the Senate Committee. They inform
the committee that the estimated cost OF
the sewer as described would be S3l6, 800
This estimate. however, according to the
statement does not take into account the
acquiring of land for right of way reces-
sary for the construction of the sewer.
The Commissioners state that a large
portion of the route lies within the Zoo
logical Park and Rock Creek Park, for
which the right of way would cost moth
ing They think it probable that the right
of way for the construction of consider
able portion of the remainder OF the line
would be dedicated without cost, as il in
wolves no detriment to the property, nor
would 1t interfere with its use. AS to
what portions OF the right of way, how
ever, would likely be dedicated the Com
missioners say they have no means Of
knowing.
The sewer is one which. the Commits
sioners say, viii have to be eventually con-
structed for the sewerage of the larger
portion of the territory lying between
Connecticut Avenue and Rock Creek Park.
sewer is now il course OF construction
along the line OF Arizona Avenue which,
the Commissioners inform the committee.
will supply a large portion OF the territory
on the west of Wisconsin Avenue reaching
TO Tenleytown. Owing to the progress of
this sewer the Commissioners think 1t
should not be delayed. In conclusion the
Commissioners say:
''Thp sewer requested by Mr. Lancaster
is an important one and should be built
at as early date as possible and the Com
missioners would be glad to build such an
amount of it as Congress feels that it can
make appropriation for at the present
time without deducting from the amounts
requested by the Commissioners in their
estimates for other sewers"
