The Boy Was Drowned in Eastern
Branch Tuesday Afternoon.

The funeral Of Ralph Davis, the fourteen
year-old boy who was drowned from a skiff
while cunning on the Eastern branch, near
Twining City, Tuesday afternoon about 2:3O
o'clock. was held this afternoon shortly be-
fore o'clock from the home Of his pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. George E. Davis, on
Nicholson street, Twining City. The service
was conducted by a lady member of Mrs

place the deceased lad had attended Sunday
school. The pallbearers, who were chosen
from the companions of the dead boy, were
as follows: Frank Farrell, William Robin
son, Charles Robinson, Clarence Thorne.

pathy Of residents of the community for the
bereaved parents was shown in q number
of floral pieces which rested about the cas-
ket. The remains Of the deceased were in
tered in the Congressional Cemetery
The dead boy was well liked by those who
knew him. He was but boy in years, but
was remarkably well developed, standing
nearly six feet tall. His parents discovered
marks on the dead lads face to indicate
that the gun he was using on the river had
struck him as 1t was discharged by reason
of recoiling, thus 1t is believed causing him
to fall overheard and become entangleG in
the river weed. The father Of the boy is
employed in the Washington navy yard.

RASH ACT REGRETTED.
John Hergershimer's Attempt to Com
NIT Suicide at Local Hotel.

John A. Hergersnimer, a guest at the
National Hotel, was discovered in an un-
conscious condition in his room at the hotel
about II 80 o'clock last night, with the gas
turned on full blast. A hurry call was
sent to the Emergency Hospital for an am
bul2nce, which responded promptly, and the
man was conveyed to that institution,
where, after receiving treatment, he was
soon pronounced to be out of danger.
The fumes of escaping gas which filed the
hall of the hotel attracted the attention of
Night Clerk Sullivan, and he stated an In
vestigation and as result found that the
odor was strongest in the vicinity of Mr.
Hergershimers room. The transom was
found open, and through this the fumes Of
the gas escaped into the hallway. He
knocked on the door, but received no re-
sponse, and the door was forced open
Hergershimer was found lying on the bed
partly attired in his street clothing.
The gas was turned off and the windows
in the room were opened in order that the
fresh air might be admitted while awaiting
the arrival Of the ambulance from the hos
pital. Hergershimer regained consc ous-
ness while the ambulance was en- route to
the hospital, and after receiving treatment
at the institution he admitted to the ply
sicians that he had attempted to end his
life and expressed regret for his actions
He promised he would not repeat the at
tempt. The man had been drinking yester-
day, it is said, and only went to his room a
few minutes before the odor of gas was
detected in the hallway.
Hergershimer is forty years Of age and is
from Rodmer, w. Va, where he is en-
ployed by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
a telegrapher. He came from that place
Sunday and registered at the National Ho-
tel. 1t is said that he Is unmarried and has
some point in West Virginia. He was able
to leave the hospital today.

NOT BARRED BY STATUTE.
Commissioners Right to Sell Certain
Realty for DELINQUENT Tax.

The Commissioners have received from
Arthur II. O'Connor, assistant corpora tIon
counsel, an opinion In which he saws no
statute OF limitations nor any presumption
OF payment from lapses OF time affects
the right given to the Commissioners hy
the act OF July l, 1902. 10 sell certain real
estate for delinquent taxes. The opinion
was based upon a letter from the assessor
In which II is stated that the property for
which the tax was in arrears was adver-
tised on September 3, 1882. and that the safe
pursuant to such advertisement began on
September &c Of the same year A number
OF pieces OF property were bid on AT that
sale in the name OF the District. and ID Il
now proposed to sell these lots under the
provisions OF the act Of Congress Of July l.
1902, except such as have been in the mean
time redeemed.
Mr.. O'Connor says: The situation OF the
District of Columbia In relation 10 property

Is that II has lien on said property which
was In existence al the time OF the passage
of the act OF 1902, although the r,medy
provided for its enforcement may have been
barred by the statute of limitations IN most
cases. The rights of the District remained
unimpaired 1t was only the remedy, 10
enforce the right by a bill in equity In
anything that had been lost.
The act Of July l, 1902. may not remove
the bar Of the statute Of limitations whore
II has already been attached TO the right OF
action for its enforcement by a hill In
equity, as provided for in the act Of March
2. 1877. but It recognizes the continued eN-
istence OF the right OF the District and prn-
vides new remedy for it's enforcement nv

OF the proceeding In equity. The authority
given the Commissioners to sell Is expressly
made applicable 10 all property hel. ..,fore
