ATTORNEY TO INVESTIGATE.
Question Regarding Assessment TO
Sidewalk Improvement.

The Commissioners today referred to the

in the territory to be used by the Terminal
Company in the construction Of the new
union station. 1t seems that many new
sidewalks are to be torn up and destroyed
on account Of being in the line of the rail-
road improvements. The question has
arisen over a bill presented to the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad for 2 sidewalk as
sessment on Chicago street, The bill has
been returned to the Commissioners by
George e. Hamilton, attorney for the COM
pany. with the request that the assessment
be cancelled as the property has been
turned over to the Terminal Company and
will be covered by the new depot.

District board. stating that the original no.

1.-THE payment OF this assessment was

opinion. be used to the detrfment Of the
District. The property has had the benefit
of the sidewalk since December II, 1901, at
which date the work was completed. To

No Unfriendly Talk Between Col
Laucheimer and Gen. Harries.

Lieutenant Colonel Laucheimer Of the
United States Marine Corps has just return
ed to the city for the first time since the
rifle matches at Sea Girt Since his return
his attention has been called to a story pub
lished in The Star in Its Sea Girt corre-
spondence and telling of an alleged sharp
and unfriendly colloquy between Colonel
Laucheimer and General Geo. H. Harries on
the range According to the printed story
Colonel Laucheimer had criticised vigor-
ously the action of members of the District
team in watching or spying on the marine
corps team while the latter was shooting.
General Harrtes in reply was reported to
have made a counter criticism to the effect
that the marines had shot more cartridges
than the match allowed. According to the
story Colonel Laucheimer then retired with
nothing to say.
An investigation reveals the fact that the
story grew out of gossip flying around the
range, which finally crystallized into the
story which was printed. AS a matter of
fact. while there was criticism on both
points by members Of the respective teams,
no conversation Of the nature stated took
place between Colonel Laucheimer and Gen
eral Harr1es.
