UNDER THE SIDEWALK.
Mr.. Willard May Locate a Steam
Boiler to His New Building.

The District Commissioners, after discuss
ing the matter at great length and amend
ing the building regulations in two particu-
lars, in order to do 50. have granted the
requests Of H A. Willard to locate a steam
boiler for heating purposes under the side
walk in front of his new building, 14th
street Just above Pennsylvania avenue, and
to construct a fve-foot area next to the
building.
The engineer department protested against
the amendments to the regulations but was
overruled by the civil Commissioners. The
new building regulations provided that boil
ers should not be placed under sidewalks.
The Commissioners have now amended this,
however, to allow boilers under the side
walk when they are used for heating pur-
poses only and raise no more than ten
pounds of steam.
The regulations also did not allow areas
on sidewalks of certain dimensions. This
provision precluded the possibility of grant,
ing the request Of Mr.. Willard for a five
foot area He claimed the right to such an
area, however, on the ground that the Eb-
bitt House had one.

OPPOSED TO AN APPEAL.
Department OF Justice Disinclined to
Accede to Request

The army canteen question has been re-
vived in a manner that may arouse some
differences Of opinion between the Secretary
or War and the officials of the Department
o. Justice Lieut.. Maoklin of the United
states army was the plaintiff in a case be-
fore Judge Holt in the Porto Rican court,
which was brought to establish the couten-
ton that beer imported from the United
States for purposes of the army canteen In
Porto Rico should be admitted free of duty
The amount involved was $1,oo5. Judge
Holt held that it would have to be paid
FROM this decision It is the desire OF Secre-
tary Root to take an appeal to the United
states supreme Court. He has asked the
department of Justice to docket the case
out 1t is unlikely that his request will be
complied with. Officials of the Department
or Justice say that this step should not be
taken for two reasons. In the first place
the army canteen has been abolished by the
action Of Congress, and 1t would only be a
moot ease which they could bring before
the highest court of the land. In the sec
ond place, the court in which the case was
tried is the successor OF the provisional
Porto Rican courts established under mill
tary rule, and the act establishing these
provisional courts provided that no appeal
shold be allowed to the United States Stu
preme Court in cases involving less than
$1,000
This is the first case coming from Porto
Rican court in which an attempt has been
made to get later decision from the Unit ed
states Supreme Court.

Notwithstanding the courteous language

turned to the city in the best Of spirits.

showed evident fatigue.
