his REQUEST DENIED.
II. II. Freeman Wishes Water Meter Re-
moved from St. Johns Church.

Mr.. H. H. Freeman recently entered
complaint with the District Commission
ers against the annoyance and inconven-
fence caused by the water meter at
tached to the motor supplying power for
the organ in st. Johns Church, Sixteenth
and H Streets northwest. He desires
to discontinue use of the meter and pay
a fixed assessment 10 cover the cost of
the water used in excess of the allotment
Of 500, 600 gallons per year.
Mr.: W. A. Mcfarland, Superintendent
OF tho Water Department, has recon-
mended that the request be refused. and
that II the meter be discontinued the
property be charged schedule rates based
on frontage and size of the building.
Capt. Chester Harding, assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner, In forwarding
the report to the Commissioners, calls
attention to the act of Congress APP
proved June 30, 1898, in which the Com
miesioners are authorized to furnish Po-
tomac water without charge to churches,
the amount to be fixed in each case by the
Commissioners, and any amount in ex-
cess to be charged for according to spec
flied rates.
Captain Harding states that the Com
missioners have fixed the amount OF wa
ter to be allowed under this act at 500, 900
gallons to each church. He says the only
way in which the amount OF water used
in excess OF the allowance can be deter
mined In any case is by the use OF
meter.
The disc type OF meter installed in st.
Johns Church. Captain Harding says,
causes greater loss of pressure than
some other types, and he advises that the
complainant be advised that improved
conditions may be obtained by installing
a meter of the turbine type.

He said that Kilgore, who is about thirty
years of age. came TO his room to bother
him. He put him out and that was all there
was to the matter. On being further in
terrogated, johnson described the trouble
he had with Kilgore as "a little turn

Proceedings in Equity
Brought by Heirs of
Admiral Powell.
REVENUE FROM A HOUSE
columbian and Johns Hopkins Institu-
lions Parties to the Settlement Of a
Trust Fund-Claimed That Request
Could Not Be Carried Out.

Mrs. Mary Eloise Thurston Keller and
others, heirs at law of the late Admiral
Levin NJ. Powell. U. S. N. yesterday in
stituted proceedings in equity against the
Columbian University of this city and
Johns Hopkins University oil Baltimore
Tor an accounting in relation to an en-
dowment made by Admiral Powell, who
died in January, 1885.
The compiainants ask that bequest
made by Admiral Powell in his will be
declared void; that the title to premises
lf01 i Street be declared to be vested in
the complainants, and that the Columbian
University be required TO account for the
rent of the premises since it has been in
its possession.
In connection with making this bequest
the testator directed that in the event
the Columbian University should not ad-
minister this trust in accord with the
wishes OF Admiral Powell the bequest
should revert to the Johns Hopkins Uni
yersity.
Admiral Powell's Will.
BY his will Admiral Powell left premises
1907 Street to the Columbian University,
that the revenue might be used for the
preparation of young men for the Naval
Academy at Annapolis or the merchant
marine.
The ,complainants allege that the en-
dowment was SO indefinite in its terms
that Is was impossible of execution by
the defendants. and in consequence the
trust Sought to be created is wholly void
and of no effect. II is stated that the
Columbian University has collected the
rents for the premises since the trust was
created and the court is asked to compel
il TO make an accounting.

AD INTERIM JUDGES
FOR POLICE COURT
Justices of the Peace Bundy
and Mills Selected.
Appointments Made Yesterday Cause
Question as to Double Pay
for These Officers

Justice Anderson, acting under his pow
er as an. associate member of the Supreme
Court of the District, and in accordance
with the provisions of the District Code,
appointed Justices of the Peace Charles
S. Bundy and Samuel C. Mills as ad in;e-
rim judges OF the Police Court, 10 act in
the absence of either one or both of the
regular Judges of that court. This has
been the practice for many years and was
inaugurated to enable the regular judges
of the Police Court to take a summer va
cation.
Heretofore, however, the justices Of
the peace in the District were not saIa-
ried officers. BY the provisions of the
code the justices are now psid n stated
salary, and the appointment Of two of
them to fill vacancies in the Police Court
gives rise to the question of whether or
not these ad interim judges SHOULD re-
ceive additional compensation fer their
services in the Police Court
The Code Explicit.
In the discussion of this question II
has been pointed out that when one o. the
Justices OF the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict is called upon to fill a vacancy on
the bench Of the Court Of Appeals for
the District-which, by the way, occurs
freQuently-he is not allowed, nor docs
he expect. compensation for his service.
The code, however, is very explicit on
the matter of the pay of ad interim
Judges in the Police Court. II says: THE
justices tof the peace so designated shall
take the same oath prescribed for the
judge of the Police Court and shall re-
ceive the sum of so a day for the tirc
that he shall serve, to be paid in the
same manner as the salary of the Judge
of the Police Court"
1t is also said that only about two
hours OF the time of the Justices of thu
peace will be required in the Police
Court. This is SO because during the
summer vacation months there are no
jury trials held in the Police Court.

CONTROL OF dogs
-'.- In THR DISTRICT
Substitute Regulation Sug-
gested by Solicitor Ouvall.
Would Have Congress Amend the Exist
ing Regulations Giving Commits
sioners Power.

Mr.. A. b. Duyall, the City Solicitor,
yesterday forwarded an opinion to the
District Commissioners on the communi-
IAN act to the control of dogs in the Dis
trict of Columbia passed by the Senate
April ., 1901.
Mr.. Duvall agrees with the Health OFF,
Ger that this act, which is known as
Senate bill 1872, will not accomplish the
object designed by the Commissioners in
their proposed bill to amend sections 3,
and ? OF the act entitled AN act TO
| create revenue in the District of Column
bia by levying tax on all dogs therein.
TO make such dogs personal property, and
for other purposes" approved June 10,
1878.
ut appears from the report of the
Senate committee" says the Solicitor.
that it was their opinion that the whole
subject of dogs running at large should
be controlled by regulations to be made
by the Commissioners from time to time
as circumstances may require. Congress,
If desirable, could at any time modify
the regulations
Il am of the opinion that the act
tSenate 1882, in view OF the explicit and
detailed provisions OF the act of Congress
OF June 10, 1878, will not enable the Com
missioners to control the whole subject,
as desired by the Senate committee. /
think the object could be attained by
authorizing the Commissioners to make
regulations amendatory to the act of Con-
gress of June 10. 1873. and have the
honor to submit herewith the draft of a
bill as substitute for Senate 4792''
Substitute Proposed.
The substitute submitted is as follows:
That the Commissi. ners- of the District
of Columbia be, and they are hereby, en-
powered TO make regulations amendatory
Of the act Of Congress approved June 10,
1873. entitled, an act to create a revenue
in the District of Columbia by levying a
tax upon all dogs therein, to make such
dogs personal property. and for other
purposes and said Commissioners may
prescribe and enforce reasonable penal
ties for the violation Of such regulations,
and may also prescribe redemption fees
not exceeding two dollars for each dog
for impounded dogs. provided. that moth
ing in this act shall be held to authorize
the amendment or repeal of the tax on
dogs as now provided by law.
Section 2. That all act. or parts of
acts in conflict with the provisions Of this
act are hereby repealed"
