Is it not fact that Asatic labor is

Is the native party responsible in a

Belt and Ashford War
Over Fire Escapes
on Two-Story Buildings, But Fire
Chief Demands Them

Chief Engineer Belt and Building In
spector Ashford are at odds over the
question of supplying fire escapes for the
school buildings of the District The
fire chief demands that all buildings be
equipped with broad fire escapes, so that
danger by fire Will be reduced TO a mini
mum. The building inspector believes
that the stairways are ample exits from
the modern two-story eight-room build
ings, and recommends that no fire es-
capes be erected thereon. The Commits
sioners. with the exception of Captain
Newcomer, acting Engineer Commits
sioner. have not acted on the recon-
mendation.
Mr.. Ashford returns the papers inVit-
ing attention to the request OF Chief
Belt, with a request to know what style
of school building 1t is desired to erect
fire escapes on, whether two or three
stories, and what form of fire escape is
suggested in lieu of the standard now in
use. Mr.. Ashford says:
Most eight-room buildings are con-
structed with fire-proof stairways en-
closed in brick walls, which, in my opin-
ion. is safer means of exit than by a
fire escape. / would suggest. however,
on the larger buildings. three stories or
more in height. that some escape similar
TO the Philadelphia outside stairway be
constructed. Generally speaking, l be-

lieve the buildings, with the exception
of some OF the older and higher ones. are
safely provided for exit in case of fire
by two stairways and three exits. l
would. therefore. recommend that NO
fire escapes be erected on the modern
two-story eight-room buildings"
The lack of fire escapes and fire eXtin-
gushing appliances in the public schools
was called to the attention of the Com
missioners several weeks ago, and Chief
Belt and Fire Marshal Bieber were or
dered to make an investigation and re-
port. One of the first structures visited
was the Peabody school. at Fifth and c
Streets northeast, which was found to
possess one of the old-fashioned vertical
fire escapes, of the sort that are abso-
lutely useless except for trained ath-
letes. Children could not possibly use
them, and women could make the de-
scent only with great difficulty. AS there
are several hundred children on the
upper floors of this building during
school hours. the condition presented is
serious.
The same conditions, practically, were
found to exist at the Wallach School
Garnet School. the Barrett, the Lenox
the Eastern High School and the NJ
Street High School In view OF these
facts. the matter OF suitable fire escapes
is worthy of all the consideration the
Commissioners seem inclined to give it.

FEW PHYSICIANS WANT
SCHOOL APPOINTMENTS

The comparatively small number of
applicants for appointments as medical
inspectors of public schools is regarded
at the District Building as somewhat
surprising. These places will pay $500
per annum and service viii be required
practically only during the school year
and on school days The daily work,
too. 1t is expected. will not occupy on
an average more than two and a half
TO three hours.
In view of these circumstances the
fact that applicants must have five
years experience in the practice OF
medicine in the District OF Columbia
and pass an examination TO determine
their fitness. is not regarded as suffi-
client to deter physicians generally from
seeking appointments. and the authori-
ties are wondering where the difficulty
lies.

DISTRICT NOT TO PAY
FEES IN LUNACY CASES
Decision to That Effect Made by
Comptroller of Treasury.

The Comptroller of the Treasury has
decided. according to an opinion sub
mittsd to the Commissioners yesterday,
that the District of Columbia shall not
pay fees to the clerk of the court or
Recorder of Deeds, in lunacy cases
heard before the local courts.
This decision is the outcome OF
communication forwarded TO the Com
missioners On August by John r.
Young, clerk of the Supreme Court OF
the District, declining to serve in lunacy
cases unless the District paid the clerk 5
fees, the same as II IL were 2 private
corporation. In support CT his conten-
ton Clerk Young inclosed lengthy
opinion from ]. j. Darlington, a we'll
known local attorney. This comn.unica
tlon resulted in the following question
being submitted to the Comptroller OF
the Treasury for his ruling:
Whether under existing law fees for
services rendered IN the institution and
prosecution OF judicial proceedings IN
the Supreme Court of the District OF Co
lumbia, and more particularly In view
of the several special laws on the sub
ject, should be paid (by the District) to
the clerk of the Supreme Court"
The Comptroller holds that il is Meth
er the spirit nor the letter of the Law
that the District should pay the fees in
question, and adds that the clerk is en-
titled to such fees only when the other
parties in the proceedings are liable fol

Rock Greek SquaHers
Are Still UnmOIested
Second Week Passes and Marshal Does Not Acf-Nof
Home From Bar HaTbor

The return of Aulick Palmer, United
States Marshal for the District, from
Bar Harbor. Me-, where he is spending
his vacation, is no doubt anxiously
awaited by the Secretary of War. who
has ordered him to evict certain squat
tiers" along Rock Greek. second week
has gone by since Mr.. Palmer was in
formed by the Attorney General that II is
his duty to at once eject the alleged
"squatters" from land occupied by them,
and claimed by the Government. The
marshal has been in Washington since
receipt of this communication, but left
without taking any action in the matter.
Before leaving the city Marshal Pal
mer was asked what course he intended
to pursue. He replied that he had not
decided. and would consider the ques-
tion before determining on a line of ac-
tion.
Two Courses Open.
AS the matter Is presented. there are
only two courses open to the marshal
One Is TO decline to act merely on the
opinion expressed by the Attorney Gen
eral. or to proceed TO eject the alleged
"squatters." II he chooses the latter
course. he may be met with an order of
the Supreme Court of the District re-
straining him until the title OF the
present occupants IS determined by the
court. II he decides not to act without
definite orders. IL will, no doubt, be on
the ground that he is an officer OF the
Supreme Court OF the District, and can
only act under direction of that tribunal.
/ Many good lawyers have yentured the
| opinion that the marshal Will not act
in the premises except under direction
of the Supreme Court of the District
In support of this view of the matter
is cited the means used by the Govern
ment TO gain possession of land along
the Potomac River front, from the Ar
senaI to Seventeenth Street In that in
stance the District courts were appealed
to in order TO have the occupants eject
ed and the title of the land in question
vested in the United States.
Some Important Questions
Acting under the authority OF the
opinion OF the Attorney General. all Mr.
Palmer can do is TO HE himself TO the

alleged "squatters" and say TO them. 90
