REFERRED TO COUNSEL.
Question Of Error in Subdividing
Tract of Land

E. F. e. Halle of Winthrop Heights, d.
c., recently wrote to the Commissioners,
requesting that an error in the subdivision
recently recorded of tract of land called
CRANKY Fort Saratoga addition to Brook
land, be corrected. Mr.. H. B. LOCKER, the
District surveyor, recommended to the
Commissioners that the subdivision be can
celed and Mr.. Halle advised that new
subdivision would have to be made by him
to take the place of the old one. Since this
action was taken the matter has again
come up for consideration because OF the
fact that Mr.. Hazle's trusteeship for the
property has expired. In second indorse-
ment Surveyor LOCKER says:
Owing to the peculiar circumstances in
this case, Mr.. Hazlc'Es trusteeship having
entirely terminated. and all the property In
question having been transferred to others
than Mr.. Halle. 1t would be impossible for
Mr.. Halle to make new subdivision to
take the place Of the present one. whose
cancellation was recommended IN my
former Endorsement without complete
reorganiZa ton of the association for whom
he was acting when he signed the former
subdivision. So much complication would
result from an attempt to substitute new
subdivision that now recommend that an
order of the Commissioners be issued to au-
thorize the surveyor to place such a note
upon the original map of this subdivision,
and the map now placed in the record book,
as will clearly define the property for which
Mr. Halle was in fact authorized to sign,
and exclude that parcel of the land the
title to which is now in Mr.. Lackey.
"All the papers will then read correctly
Immediately upon d correction OF the plat
Mr.. Halle had not, at the time of making
the subdivision, any title to that portion of
Rhode Island avenue shown on the plat,
and therefore could not dedicate the same
to the District The correction herein
recommended Is entirely satisfactory to Mr..
Halle. and the effect of it would be to
leave Mr. Lackey in undisturbed possession
of that which he owns / do not think that
this matter can be Strengthened up in any
better or simpler manner"
Colonel Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner, has recommended that the matter
be referred to the corporation counsel for
his advice.

Graduating Glass Poem Of 'O3.
BY GRACE MESSENGER.

Now 1t Is my turn to tell you
Of the famous class before you;
Famous, not in number only,
But III strength and virtue, likewise.
You can't hear too much about il,
How we've worked and then been fiat
tered,
How we've scrapped and then beer
scolded;
30 to acquaint you with its makeup,
VIII take each member singly-
Take c as they sit before you
And III file present them to you.
First OF all, I'll introduce you,
To a girl Of wit and humor,
To a girl of little sadness,
Lulu Brock is this one mentioned
And would seem to those not knowing
That she held the prize for meekness
And for mildness, intermingled.
From the circle of her classmates
Where she's center, comes such laughter.
Such a jolly, ringing laughter
That at one we know its Lulu
Who has caused SO great an uproar.
Sinner III name and, also, nature,
Shineth forth i'll all his glory,
To add light unto our brightness,
add splendor to our greatness,
Delos was a brilliant student;
won't attempt to tell YOU
those Latin Rotations,
those ancient Roman stories,
That he read to us so smoothly.
Did you ever see those gestures
n an open club discussion?
His side, generally, were victors,
But 1t wasn't any wonder.
'or he frightened his opponents,
70 that speech was rendered hopeless.
80 that tongues were rendered useless.
II the mouths of those poor people.
tut a few years hence you'll know him
IS the medicine man, the Media,
'ringing herbs and roots Of healing.
ringing roots of power and healing. =
uring sufferers all around him. :
'hey, she who is Il prophet. \
oes not need an introduction. i,
on have all found out her virtues =
1t Is needless to repeat them, :,

 Judge George Gray of Delaware who Is chairman of the Board of Arbitration here considering the differences between operators and miners, when spoken to this morning in reference to the Asso- ciated Press story from Washington in which Congressman J. B. RansdeN of Louisiana. is quoted as saying that Judge Gray would make a magnificent nominee of the Democrats of the United States for the presidency, simply laughed and refused to make comment. He has stead fly declined to talk politics during the week that he has been in Birmingham and though friendly does not care to discuss whatsoever the many things po- litically being said of him throughout the country. As to his candidacy he will not make answer direct Judge Gray is being shown every attention during his stay in Birmingham. While sitting on the Board of Arbitration he is making close inquiry into conditions in this dis trict and appears to take exceptionally strong interest on the color question as we'll as on the poorer classes of labor. His comments on the matters of the store or commissary systems in vogue with the various industries and the coal corporations in particular in this dis trict. show that he is greatly surprised and is seeking knowledge on many points other than for use in the arbitration now on.
 Charles P. Neill, who is the recorder of the Board of Arbitration. is professor of political economy at the Catholic Unl- versity in Washington. He is making some study of conditions and he has al- ready been out in the district. It Is prob- able that he will remain in this district couple of weeks or more after the arbitration has completed it's work look ing up points in which he is interested. Every attention is being given Professor Neill also.

Though the increase in educable popu- 1ation in the last two years was only IS. as indicated by the census. the growth during the past decade Is healthy and Is eignlncant of the steady increase of the city. It is noticeable that the negro popu- aation has been larger than the white in each of the reports except for 1899 and 1s57 when there was slight numerical as- cendancy on the sight of the Caucasian race.
 5 The heavy increase of numbers In 1901 over the preceding years is attributable to 4he fact that in that year the school area of the city was extended so as to include large territory north of Seima's cor rcrate limits The majority of educable persons thus taken In was of the coiored race as will be easily learned through a reference to the tables prepared by Mir. CunninGham.
