FIGHTING LVCAN VILLAGE
Application for Quo WarrantO TO Show
by What Right the Village
IT, Exists.
Attorney ECkstein is Engaged to Dis
solve the Proceeding for In
corporation.

Attorney Joseph A. Eckstein
of New Ulm came in from that city
last Sunday afternoon. On the
morning following be made his ap-
pearance at the auditor S Office and
asked to see all of the proceedings
on paper in connection with the in
corporation of the village of Lucan,
the first station Of the Minnesota
Western railroad. west of Wabasso.
Mr.. Eckstein announced that he
proposed to knock out the incorpOr-
alton OF that village. He was here
in the in terests OF a number Of peO-
pie whose farms were pulled inside
of the village limits--or rather: the
limits were extended so as TO take IN
the farms. and there is an awful yell
going up as a result. The farmers
got together: named a committee,
made up Jackpot to fight the in
corporation, and then the committee
engaged Mr.. Eckstein to do the le
gal work.
Just how it will be done is a
question, but it is probable that an
application will be made for quo
warranto proceedings, whereby the
newly elected officers of that village
will be obliged to show by what
right the village and they exist. If
the courts find that there has been
any thing illegal about the proceed
ings the incorporation will be dis
solved, and the village will revert
back to Northwestern station, and
a portion of the town of Granite
Rock.
The principal ground for quo war
ranto proceedings will be territory.
1t is claimed by the committee
fighting the incorporation that the
incorporators reached out in certain
directions where they could not on
ly get territory, but also votes fav-
orable to the incorporation. This
made a rather singular looking vii
lage, and it is believed that the
courts will insist that where there
is protest a new village must keep
it's lines as squarely as possible.
Other grounds willsbe set up, which
cannot be made public at this time.
The election resulting in the in
corporation was held on Nov. 17th
At that time there were IS votes in
favor of the incorporation and IA
against. It is claimed by the farm
ers who had their lands taken into
the village territory that they had
enough votes to tie the vote and
thus defeat the proposition, but two
Of their plumbers were won over by
the village boomers and hence they
lost their side Of the fight They
are now resorting to the courts.
Already an application for liq-
uor license has been made to the
newly elected village council, and
published in the official paper, the
| Wabasso Standard In case Mr.
Eckstein is successful in his quo
warranto proceedings the applica-
tion will be of no effect, and the vii
layers will have to commence over
again in their organization of vii
lage. Some of the farmers protest
ing against the incorporation say
that the only reason for it is that
one man wants a liquor license at
$500.

TO INCREASE WATER
SUPPLY At FORT MYER
Will Lay Nearly a Quarter
Mile of New Mains.

The water supply at Fort Myer. Va.
is again receiving attention. Bids are
being received for the laying of nearly
100 feet Of four-inch water main in ad-
dition to the mains already in opera
tion at the post.
This increase in the water supply is
made necessary by the building up OF
the post. a number of new buildings
such as soldiers quarters, storehouses,
stables, etc. have been erected, while
others are in course of construction.
More buildings will be constructed this
winter
Four fire hydrants will be located on
the extension. The supply, which for
number of years has been insufficient,
will soon be large enough to meet all
demands.
About three months ago contract
was let for constructing tank, with a
5O,000-gallon capacity. on a fifty-foot
steel trestle. This has practically been
completed, and will shortly be in work
ing order. This tank can supply wa
ings. its height furnishing sufficient
force.
The contract for the erecting of two
double quarters for four line officers
and their families will be awarded on
October is, the bids having already been
received.

FRAUD ORDER LAW IN
THE SUPREME COURT
Argument Against Constitu-
tionality of the Act,

Arguments have been concluded in the
Supreme Court in the case of the Ameri-
can School of Magnetic Healing and j..
H. Kelly VS.. ]. NJ. McAnnulty, which was
brought for the purpose of testing the
cons:itutionality of the fraud orders
issued by the Postoffice Department to
prevent the delivery of mail to persons
conducting schemes to obtain money un-
der false pretenses.
The department held up mail to the
school," of which Kelly was secretary,
treasurer and general manager, and
which was carrying on an extensive bus
mess on the absent treatment" plan.
The lower court upheld the department.
Counsel for Kelly contended that the
law authorizing the Postmaster Cen
eral was invalid because, first, it took
and affected the property right of the
citizen without due process of law:
second, it authorized the seizure of
papers and property without warrants;
third, that it delegated to the Postmas
ter General power to make regulations
for the Department of the Postoffice and
Post Roads, which the Constitution vest
ed in Congress alone.

An Offensive Landscape.


One of the most Objectionable sights
on Sixteenth Street is a sixty-foot lot
Just north of 1145 This is half filled
with debris of an indescribable charac-
ter, and is overrun with scrub brush
and weeds, which grow as high as the
shoulder A signboard runs across half
the lot. but does not conceal the often
sive landscape.
On the southeast corner of Sixteenth
and NJ Streets is a lot rs by 100 feet
1t is higher than the sidewalk and some
day will probably be the site of a beau
tiful residence. Just now, however, it
presents a most offensive appearance.
A sign board runs along NJ Street and
Sixteenth Street, but it is placed back
twenty-five feet from the walk. In the
strip thus formed by the walk and the
sign board is growth of weeds, not as
tall as others on Sixteenth Street, but
high enough to be Objectionable to the
eye.
Just south Of the alley between L and

ON STREETS AND LOTS

NJ Streets, on Fifteenth Street, is lot
which presents an unusually untidy ap-
pearance. 1t is the site of the Epis-
copal Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital.
heavy growth of weeds covers the
lot, which, being on Fifteenth Street.
is seen by nearly all the visitors who
drive much about Washington. Out
Fifteenth Street is a favorite route for
those who desire to see the residence sec
ton of the city. The weeds in some
places are shoulder high. The lot is sur
rounded by a tumbledown board fence.
One of the best residence lots in the
northwest section is iha. at the north
east corner of Fifteenth Street and Rhode
Island Avenue. 1t is rs by 100 feet,
and should be the site of a beautiful
residences. But it is unoccupied and
overrun with heavy growth of weeds.
Another beautiful site which is weed
grown and generally unkept, is the lot
between Sixteenth Street and Rhode
Island Avenue. The lot has 10 feet on
the circle. 75 feet on Rhode Island Ave
nue.. and 65 feet on Sixteenth Street.
Part Of it is the property of the Govern
ment. and this part, it is noticeable, is
the most offensive looking. Overgrown
and struggling shrubbery also covers the
lot. Lying on Scott Circle, which. many
believe, is the rrettiest circle in the city,
the appearance of this lot is doubly OBJ

Whole Block Covered.

Another intensely offensive plot of
ground is on Seventeenth Street, running
from Rhode Island Avenue to NJ Street,
almost full block long and 20 feet
wide. Not building stands on this bit
of property. but from end to end il is
covered with weeds. many of which are
waist high. The lot is higher than the
sidewalk and the recent rains have
washed pounds and pounds of clay down
the steep little banks to the cement.
where it must be trampled upon by pc
destrians.
Just before Rhode Island Avenue cuts
across Connecticut Avenue, in a neigh
borhood which abounds with grand resi-
dences, is plot of ground which, for
its unkempt and unsightly appearance
equals almost anything else in that sec
tion. 1t lies on the north side of Rhode
Island Avenue in full view of people go
ing north on Georgetown or Columbia

In the apex formed by the intersection
of Rhode Island Avenue and NJ Street,
just back of the parking. in the point,
which is owned by the Government ami

Probably as offensive looking va
cant lot for its size as exists in the
city is one on Connecticut Avenue, north

two wholesome looking residences this
little lot stares out at the public. 1t

covered with weeds and debris-a beau

the leading foreign offices.

These are but few of the weed

those described exist all over the city,
