HOME FOR STRAY DOGS.
Society in Charge Presided Over by
Mrs. Nelson A. Miles.

The stray and homeless dogs of the city
will continue to find friends in the members
of the Society for Frlendless Dogs of which
Mrs. Nelson A. Miles is the president. Upon
the complaint of residents the District Com
missioners in July issued an order direct
Ing that the dog kennels at 2025 god street
be removed to some point outside of the city
limits. This proved to be great blow to
the society, which had gone to the expense
and trouble of fitting up the home. Most Of
the officers were out of the city at the time
the order was issued, and the intendant
of the kennel was In quandary until
he received a communication from Mrs.
Hatcher member of the society, offering
a new location on the Brookland electric
line.
Notwithstanding the offer of Mrs Hatcher
the work of the society was somewhat re-
tarded. Nearly all the members, however.
have returned to the city from the summer
resorts and have taken hold Of the project
with renewed activity.
A reorganization meeting of the society
was held yesterday at the home of Miss
Virginia PTall. Mrs. H. V. Boynton pre-
sided over the meeting The report of the
secretary, Miss Anna P. Thomas, contain
ing full account of the setbacks attending
the efforts of the society, was read and
discussed. after which the offer of Mrs
Hatcher to locate upon the ground now &C.
cupied by the kennels was accepted 1t
was also proposed to accept all contribu-
lions from persons favorng the project

that in 1894 he obtained from Commissioner
Beach a permit to erect boat house at the

Subsequent to this. Mr. Garner says, he ap-
piled for and received a permit to rebuild,
and has since done on the old site. Mr..
Garner has learned that Wimsatt & Uhler,
mill owners, have applied for permit to
house in connection with Improvements the
firm is making. He requests of the Com
missioners to inform him whether the per-
init can be granted to Mr.. Wimsatt.
In reply the Commissioners will send the
writer letter, stating among other things,
that when the boat house was burned and
permission given to rebuild it the following
conditions were made: That this permit Is
issued on condition that such permit shall
not affect the status quo to the rights of
the parties, and upon the agreement that
neither the District nor the United States
shall be required to pay for any repairs or
improvements made pursuant to such per-
NIT, and that Garner & Aiken shall acquire
no rights whatever against the United
States the District by such repairs or
permits as to possession"
c. c. Cole, attorney for the United States
in charge of wharf cases, stated that Gar
ner & Aiken have no right of possession,
and the Commissioners may require them
to move their boat house al any time.

Promising Career Of Lee ]. Cox Ended
BY Death.

Lee Jewett Cox, young, gifted, and hold
ing the esteem Of an unusually large circle
Of friends, died early Sunday morning at
the residence Of his father, Robert Lee Cox.
2511 Wisconsin avenue. in the twenty-sec-
ond year Of his age. Young Mr.. Cox had
been Ill but ten days, from severe case OF
typhoid fever. Arrangements have been
made to hold the funeral services tomorrow
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock in the chapel OF
Oak Hill cemetery. The interment will be
private.
The news of the death Of Mr.. Cox came
as great shock to all who knew him. His
illness had been Of such brief duration that
few were prepared to receive word of the
end. Mr.. Cox was member OF the repor-
torial staff Of the Associated Press, and
gave promise Of developing into one Of the
associations brightest writers. He was
very popular with his associates in the
newspaper profession, he was with all
whom he met In social way. While deeply
interested in his newspaper work, the young
mans greatest hopes and highest ambt-
tions were centered in his voice, and he and
his teachers and friends were looking for
ward to brilliant future In the operate
field.
1t was as boy soprano with a wonder
fully sweet voice, that little Lee Cox first
attracted public attention to himself. He
was a member Of the vested choir of ST.
Johns Church at that time, and was often
heard in solo renditions. Many of the mu-
sic lovers of the city remember with vivid
pleasure the juvenile performance Of Pin
afore," given at the National Theater many
years ago. In this production Lee Cox was
Ralph Rackstraw, and his playing and
singing of the role of the sentimental young
sailor was a distinct feature in the success
Of the childrens opera. Again in a George
town production Of Voices OF Nature" the
boy was heard with unbounded delight by
hosts of auditors.
Those who heard the boy sing were fiat
tering in their predictions as to his future.
In a large degree they were not mistaken,
for as he grew into manhood his voice de-
veloped with him and became high barry
tone of wide range and much power.
During the past few years he had often
been heard in concerts and musicales In
this city. and his fame singer and his
popularity feature Of a musical pro-
gram were increasing daily. Death cut
short what many believed would have been
a wonderfully successful life.
Personally Mr.. Cox was young man of
attractive personality. He was tall and
handsome, with very dark hair and fine
physique. He had much of the quality Of
personal magnetism, and a limitless fund
of humor. His wit was always a great
source of entertainment among his friends,
whom he numbered by hundreds His death
was deep blow to his family. His father
and mother and sister were fairly wrapped
up In the boy, and were very proud of all
he had done and gave promise of doing.
