McQUILLAN ESTATE
DECREE is CONTESTED
Payment of $4,000 to Mrs. Burke En-
joined by Others Claiming
to Be Heirs at Law.

Mr.. John Mcguire and seven others yes
terday instituted suit in the Supreme
Court of the District against Mary Ellen
Burke and Thomas NJ. Fields, to require
the last-named defendant to pay over
to them about $4,000. which, it is claimed,
he has received as attorney for Mrs.
Burke and Is about to pay over to her.
1t appears from the bill that this money
was awarded to Mrs. Burke by decree
of the court in suit filed by her, in
which Mr.. Fields was her attorney, upon
the theory that she was the sole heir at
law of one Richard V. McQuillsn, de-
ceased. The complainants state that they
were not parties to, non -cognizant of the
suit. and that the decree is therefore
nullity as to them. They now claim that
they are the true heirs at law of McQuil-
Ian, and entitled to the money in Mr..
Fields hands. to the entire exclusion of
Mrs. Burke.
The bill asserts that McQuillan held the
property involved by descent on the part
OF his father. and that, as the complain
ants are native-born American citizens OF
the paternal blood of McQuillan, they are
entitled by law to 1t as his heirs in pref
erence to Mrs. Burke, who is cousin on
the maternal side.
The court is asked to enjoin Mr.. Fields
from paying the money to Mrs. Burke.
and to direct him to pay it to the COM
plainants

PICKP0CKETS AT WORK.
Police Mystifed Over Reports of Many
Robberies.

The police are concerned over the bold
work of professional pickpockets, that
have been reported in this city and the
immediate vicinity during the past few
days. within a week there have been four
cases where persons have had their money
stolen while in a crowd. Two of these
robberies occurred at Cabin John Bridge
ard two in this city.
The last man 10 report that his pocket
had been picked was Adolph Gasscnau, of
Eighth and NJ Streets northwest. Gasse-
nau says that or Sunday night a diamond
stud valued at $50 was stolen from his
shirt front. lie discovered his loss almost
Immediately, and his suspicions were
aroused by 4 man who wore a light gray
oyercoat, light suit Of clothes, and der
by hat, who stood in the crowd near him.
This robbery took place at Cabin John
Bridge while Gassenau was waiting for
an electric car TO return to this city.

PRELIMINARY DRILL OF
HIGH SCHOOL CADETS
MAKE STREET CONTINUOUS.
Commissioners Approve Bill to Unite
Kalorama Avenue Sections.

The District Commissioners yesterday
sent to the Senate District Committee
a report on Senate bill 53o6, ''authoriz-
ing the joining of Kalorama Avenue" A
map was inclosed showing the land nee
essary TO be acquired in order to make
the connection, the estimated cost of
which is s25500.
The Commissioners state that the pro-
posed joining of the avenue between CO.
lumbia Road and Nineteenth Street would
be convenience to the people living in
that locality. 1t would also be an i'm
provement in the way of making the street
continuous instead of in two portions.
The additional park space would also be
a benefit in 4 part of the District which,
when built Up. will have but few open
spaces.
The Commissioners" the report states
think that at this time il is not advisable
to incur the expense involved in carry
Ing out the provisions of the bill. although
1t can probably be done now more reas-
onably than at any future time. The bill
is not in the approved form of street ex-
tension bills and * is suggested that II
favorable action is taken the bill should
be made to CONFORM to the act entitled
AN act for the extension of Columbia
Road east of Thirteenth Street, and for
other purposes approved June g. 1900
In case of favorable action the Commits
sioners would further recommend that
hall the cost be made chargeahle TO the
United States and half to the District OF
Columbia "

COMPLAINT OF A SEWER.
Mr.. Robert w. Mcpherson Says 1t Dam
ages His Property.

The District Commissioners recently re-
ceivcd from Mr. Robert W. Mcpherson a
letter calling attention to a former COM
munication in which complaint was made
of damage done to premises 1907, 1909 and
I'LL Eighth Street northwest, by reason
of an obstructed sewer in the alley in the
rear. Mr.. Mcpherson renews the notice
then given. that he will hold the District
responsible for the same.
Capt. Chester Harding assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, who has super
vision of the sewer division. has recon-
mended that the complainant be informed
the records of the office show that the
obstruction on March is, 1902, was caused
by ashes and paper, which had been de-
posted in the sewer in violation of police
regulations. The distractions were re-
moved and the sewer. thoroughly flushed
promptly upon the receipt of the COM
plaint Continuing, Captain Harding says:
''The sewer in the alley which serves
compartments property was investigated
on former complaint of Mr.. Mcpherson
on December s. 1898, and was reported
to be of insufficient depth to drain the
basement of the house, and in consequence
of recommendations then made and the
statement of Mr. Mcpherson that If the
District would run q sewer northward
from the southeast corner of the square
past my property in the parking I would
gladly connect my property which fronts
on the street. an adequate sewer outlet
for the premises in question was con-
structed in January, 1899. II the COM
plainant should connect his premises with
the latter sewer as he has expressed his
Willingness to do, the difficulty of which
he now makes complaint would be re-
moved"

COMMISSIONERS ASK
FURTHER INFORMATION
Lumber Dealers Say Specifl-
cations Are Too Stringent.
Colonel Biddle Recommends That Deal
ers Be More Specific and Invites
Practical Suggestions.

a few days ago the District Commits
sionerg received from Thomas r. Riley
and others q communication to the effect
that it is impossible to purchase certain
classes OF lumber called for in the adver-
tisement for general supplies under the
specifications submitted, and they asked
that the specifications used by the Dis
trict be amended so as to conform to the
customs of the wholesale trade.
Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Cormis
.ioner, has forwarded to his associates
statement relative to the matter in which
he suggests that the Commissioners seek
further details as to the communication
received.
at is the intention of the District"
continues Colonel Biddle, Ito follow, as
far as possible. the general commercial
customs, but at the same time the Com
misssioners desire to get good class of
lumber. and therefore make the specifi-
cations more stringent than is usual for
ordinary commercial purposes. They
would like to know in what particulars
the specifications in question are difficult
to fulfill.
How LUMBER is inspected.
"As to the point of inspection at de-
livery and agaiu at the time the lumber
is used. the Commissioners desire to state
that the lumber ss furnished by the
dealers is usually sent in at various times
1T the convenience of the contractors and
in small lots, so that 1t would be very
expensive to have the regular inspector
of lumber at all the points where the
lumber may be delivered remaining there
all the time so as to receive the differ
ent deliveries. a watchman is kept at
thcse points of delivery to receive and
receipt for the lumber, but he has not
The authority nor the ability to judge of
its quality, and cannot be authorized to
do more than state the amount received.
"lf the dealers have practical sugses-
tiors to offer the Commissioners would be
glad to learn OF them, as well as to re-
ceive any other specific statements on the
subject"

new INSURANCE RULE
BELIEVED BENEFICIAL
Proof Received by Superin-
tendent Drake.
Movement Taken Solely in the Interest
of Policy Holders Proves
Satisfactory.

The Superintendent of Insurance, Mr..
Thomas E. Drake, stated yesterday that
he had already signal proofs of the wis
dom OF the recent ruling relative to pre-
liminary term insurance policies. This
ruling was to the effect that all the re-
serve features of the life insurance poll
cies issued in the District should date
from their issue.
Mr.. Drake also stated that one COM
pany which has been in business in the
District for several years. and which had
taken the preliminary steps to qualify
under the law. when it became advised of
the ruling. announced that 1t would not
there were several other companies in the
same position, and they would not be
able to comply with the requirements
without changing the form Of business
done.
Interest of Policy Holders.
AS this ruling was taken solely in the
interests of the holders of policies, Civ
ing them upon the payment of the first
premium all the advantages which they
have hitherto held after the payment of
the second or third premium, Mr.. Drake
is of the opinion that the wisdom of the
ruling is being shown.
1t was also announced that it had
been determined by the department
that all fraternal life insurance COM
panies and societies would be required
under their licenses to embody what is
known as the emergency clause" in their
certificates and policies. This means that
the members of these societies are noti-
fed at the start that in case the month
ly assessment does not suffice to pay all
claims in any given year the society
has authority to make extra assess
ments.
To Withdraw Application.
Mr.. Drake said he had received
notification from the Frankfort
Marine, Accident and Plate Glass Insur-
-ance Company. of Frankfort on the Main,
that it would withdraw its application
for license to do business in the District
of Columbia. Owing to the peculiar re-
quirementB of the code relative to the
filing Of charter, constitution, etc, the
company stated it was unable TO qualify.
