DEMAND FOR DAMAGES.
Remuneration for Repairs to Building
Vacated by School.

S. w. Augenstein of 1901 Pennsylvania
avenue. has presented a claim for damages
to the board Of education, covering the re-
pairs he declares are needed in the Miller
building at 623 and 625 H street northwest,
recently vacated by the manual training
school. The claimant says the first and
second floors of the building were quite
badly damaged by the engines, boilers, an
wills and machines used by the pupils of the
school. The board of education referred the
matter to the Commissioners. The superin-
tendent of repairs reports that he knows
of no provision in the agreement between
the District and its landlord to leaving
the building in its original condition. To
make the repairs asked for would cost
about S1S3.
The Commissioners have acted adversely
upon the matter and will so inform this
board of education. They do not believe
the claim is an equitable one, basing their
action upon the following report by Auditor
Petty:
THE District of Columbia has had no for
NAL lease since June 80, 1900, of the prop
erty known as 623 and 625 H street north
west. Its status has been that of a month
ly tenant The last written agreement,
which expired June 80, 1900, expressly re-
quired that all repairs should be made by
the lessor or at the lessons expense, and
unless the lease in terms so provides the
appropriation cannot be used for repairs to
private property. It is apparent from this
statement thar the claim for compensation
in the shape of repairs is without founda-
ton in law. 1t is, equally lacking also in
equity, for the reason that the District has
occupied the premises since lSS2. ana pald
an exceedingly liberal rent therefor, the
amount since 1894 being $1,000 per annum,
which is about u per cent upon the as
sessed value of the properly. In the light of
all the facts L am of the opinion that the
claimant is without legal or equitable re-
kscOurSe.'

KICK PROVES FATAL
HORSE CAUSES THE DEATH OF
LOUIS E. BROWN.
Animal Became Frightened and At
tempted to Run Away-The
Victim Salesman.

Pedestrians on Pennsylvania avenue north
west between 9th and 10th streets witnessed
a shocking accident about 1880 o'clock this
morning, which resulted in the almost in
slant death of Louis E. Brown from the
kick of horse. The animals foot landed
against the mans abdomen, and life was
practically extinct when he was picked UP.
The victim of the accident was about thirty
years old and lived at 1919 AZ street south
west. He was employed as salesman and
collector for George E. Croswell, wholesale
confectioner, at 431 It'll street southwest.
The unfortunate man left his employer s
place Of business this morning at the usual
hour, and was on his regular route at the
time the accident occurred When in front
of 919 Pennsylvania avenue the animal be-
came frightened and attempted to run
away. Brown held to the lines as well as
he could, to prevent an accident, realizing
that number of pedestrians might receive
injury should the animal succeed in getting
away. He had apparently conquered the
horse, but the latter began kicking and
jumping, and several persons started to the
drivers assistance. Among them was Po-
liceman Samson, and the officer reached
the team just about the time the animal
dealt the fatal kick. The dashboard was
kicked from the wagon by the animal.
The fatally injured man fell from the seat
of the wagon. and the policeman grabbed
the horse and prevented further damage.
A physician who happened to b near the
scene of the accident was called to attend
the victim. He found but little evidence of
life in the body. The doctor remained with
the injured man until the arrival of the
ambulance from the Emergency Hospital,
when DR.. Morhart took charge, and hurry
run was made to the hospital.
When the institution was reached the vic
tim was dead and his body was removed to
the hospital morgue His employer and
wife were notified, and they went to the
hospital, where they first learned the par
ticuars of the accident. The police noti-
fled the coroner, and the latter made an in
vestigation this afternoon certificate of
accidental death will probably be given
without the holding of an inquest.

RENEWAL OF LICENSES.
Police Making the Customary Inves-
legations Regarding Applications.

Policemen in the several precincts are
engaged in making investigations and re-
ports in the cases of the applicants for re-
newal of liquor licenses. As soon as the
applications are received they are referred
to patrolmen for investigation and report.
Under the law it Is not necessary for the
applicants to obtain signatures each year,
as was the case under the old law. There
is one property owner. man of wealth,
who always stipulates that his signature is
for one year only, and in his case 1t is
necessary to get the signature renewed each
year.
1t is incumbent upon the members of the
police department to report upon the char
acter of the applicants place and to tell
what, If any. trouble has occurred at his
saloon during the preceding year The
work of the police on the applications will
be finished in a few days and then the
final work of the excise board will be in
order Most of the reports will be favor
able to the applicants.

Scarcity Of Barrels.

From the New York Tribune.
In some parts of the country apples are
cheap, while barrels are SO high priced that
the raisers of that wholesome and palatable
fruit let 1t rot In the orchards because there
is no profit in shipping 1t. The time will
come when the cost of wooden barrels with
the diminu.ion Of the supplies of wood, will
rise to such figures that substitutes of some
sort will be required In many trades and
fields of production.
