SALE OF RECORDS OPPOSED.
Surveyor LOCKER Thinks 1t Unwise to
Dispose of Them.

Some time ago Messrs. Howell e 7. J.
lor, of Twelfth and F Streets northwest,
submitted to the District Commissioners
a proposition TO sell to the municipality
records OF surveys made by them for the
use OF the Office of the Surveyor for the
sum OF 81 500.
Mr.. Henry b. LOCKER, the Surveyor, has
reported upon the matter, stating that
for the most part these records are
duplicates of records already in the pos
session OF his office, except some twenty
five OF more plats. But after full con-
alteration of the matter the Surveyor
comes TO the conclusion that he cannot
recommend the acceptance Of the PROPOSE
tion. He says there is a vital difference
between the records offered and those of
the Brewer and Latimer records of
Georgetown and Anacostia, respectively,
which have been purchased by the Dis
trict.

WARFARE AGAINST DOGS.
DR.. Woodward's Views As to Execution
of Vicious CANNES.

of Vicious CANNES.
Dr. William C. Woodward, Health Off
Ger Of the District of Columbia, has sub
mitted to the Commissioners the follow
ing, bearing upon Major Sylvester's rec
ommendation regarding the shooting by
policemen of dangerous and vicious dogs:
IF the killing of dogs under the pro-
posed law is to be effected after the con-
viction of the owner, it seems to me bet
ter that it should be done by the Pound
master, who is provided with facilities
for disposing of them in the most hu-
name way. and l recommend that the por-
tion of the proposed amendment which
reads And the dog shall be killed by any
metropolitan police officer or other per-
son having authority be stricken out, and
that the following be inserted in 'ts
place: And shall deliver such animal to
the Poundmaster at the District Pound to
be killed, and the said Poundmaster is
hereby authorized and directed to kill any
such animal delivered as aforesaid
IF the proposed amendment is intended
TO authorize the killing of dogs which
have attacked or injured individuals by
any police officer or other person having
like authority in advance 'of the convic-
tion of the owner, it is. believe, not so
drafted as to permit such action to be
taken by such officer or person with the
least possible personal liability or with
the greatest protection to the owner of
the dog. On the one hand the officer
would have to determine before acting
that the dog was fierce and dangerous
within the legal meaning of those words,
and on the other hand dangerous dogs
which have been provoked to attack or
bite by the person injured might be un-
justfiably killed. a.t
Il respectfully suggest that the pro-
posed amendment be forwarded to the
City Solicitor for consideration, and that
he be instructed, If he finds no legal OBJ
jections to its provisions. to draft the
bill necessary TO carry it into effect

EXCISE BOARD fAVORS
NEW LIQUOR LAW
Believed That Its Enactment
Would Be a Benefit.
Would Introduce New Features Which
Would Tend to Perfect Pres
ent Regulations.

The Excise Board, through its chairman
sioners report on Senate bill No. 1902.
ITO regulate the sale of intoxicating
liquors in the District of Columbia
The Commissioners some time ago
granted a hearing to the Anti-Saloon
League and other temperance societies,
who favored the proposed bill, which is
similar to bills introduced at the two last
sessions of Congress.
Report of the Board
The report OF the exise board follows:
THE board has carefully considered the
enclosed bill, Senate 1902. to regulate the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and is of the opinion
that its enactment into law would cure
troduce new features which would in a
great measure tend to perfect good law.
THE board would respectfully suggest
that section of the bill be amended by
adding after the word Sold in line IS,
the following words: To be drunk on the
premises. Under a strict construction of
this section if the bill became a law, a
grocer holding a Wholesale liquor license
would be amenable to punishment if be
permitted minor to enter the premises
for the purpose of purchasing groceries"
The Excise Board says that the bill in
question is intended to shut out minors
from places where liquor is sold to be
drunk on the premises, while the present
law does not contemplate any such prohi-
bition.

Appeal Passes Comprehension.

The opinion of the Court of Appeals af-
firming the judgment of the lower court
was announced by Mr.. Justice Morris. who
said it cannot be conceived why the ap-
peal was taken, as there is no substantial
principle of law involved. Therefore the
appeal passes comprehension.
The court also expresses surprise that
the appellee did not prevent the appeal by
simply taking judgment for the original
amount, S3,1S5. instead of insisting on the
addition of the 80 cents. Then there
would have been no foundation for the
appeal or even a motion in arrest of judg-
ment. Under all the circumstances, the
court states that the 80 cents must be
considered as interest allowed by the
jury.

SUICIDE AT RUTLAND

Rutland, May 2.-Leslie Gibson, %
years old, clerk at the Combination
cash store in this city, committed
suicide at an early hour yesterday
morning at his home in Mill Village.
He left the house before breakfast
and went to field nearby where he
held rifle against his hesrt and
worked the trigger with his foot.
His father, Francis o. Gibson, was
made insane for time and the police
had to be summoned to keep him from
doing violence to himself. The boy
was an only child, daughter having
died few years ago. The motive for
the act is mystery.
