UNEXPECTED CHANGE.
MI Thomas G.. Taylor Retires From
District Attorneys Office.

An unexpected change and one OF con-
siderable interest occurred today in the OF
flee of Mr.. Morgan H. Beach. United States
attorney for the District OF Columbia
when the resignation Of Mr.. Thomas c.
Taylor, one of Mr.. Beach's assistants. was
accepted and Mr.. Charles A. keigwin o!
the local bar reported for duty as his sue
cessor.
None of the employees Of the office had
an inkling Of the change until this morn
ing when Mr.. kegwin appeared. 1t was
then noticed that since Saturday Mr.. Tay-
lor's personal papers and effects had been
removed by him from his desk in the office
and that he had not put in an appearance
as usual ~ y
Immediately after the present Justice
Anderson had subscribed to the oath OF
office as United States attorney for the
District of Columbia several years ago he
appointed Mr.. Taylor one Of his assistants.
Mr. Taylor has since served faithfully and
theoretically. 1t Is understood he will at
once resume his private law practice.
Mr.. keigwin, the new assistant United
States attorney. ranks very high among
the members Of the local bar. He is ma
tive of Indiana and came to this city In
1887 to accept a position In the Treasury
Department. He served in the Treasury
Department and in the general land Office,
performing legal work, until 1890. when he
began the practice Of law. He had studied
law while in Indiana. but graduated from
Columbian University. this city. Mr.. keig-
win is comparatively young man. Of abil-
ity and attainments and Ia the author OF

STAY OF ORDER GRANTED
Opportunity Given Complainant to Ap-
ply for Special Appeal.

In connection with the proceedings for
injunction instituted by Amos Hadley
against w. w. souder. Justice Anderson,
in Equity Court No. 1. has decided to dis
solve the temporary restraining order and
dissolve the injunction. Upon motion of
counsel for the complainant the order dis
solving the restraining order has been
stayed until the 9th instant, in order to
give the complainant an opportunity to
apply to the Court Of Appeals for the al
lowance Of a special appeal.
Mr.. Hadley, 1t is explained, sought to
restrain Mr.. Souder from using the west
party wall at 1890 Harvard street until the
latter had paid for one-half its cost, in
accordance with sections f2 and G7 of the
building regulations, which provide that
the building inspector shall ascertain the
value of the portion of the wall to be
used by the second builder and shall re-
Tlire him to pay one-half the cost so fixed
before cutting into the wall.
Justice Anderson, in disposng of the
matter, held that the regulation in ques-
1t gave one man authority to fix a price
to be paid by another before the latter
could exercise his property rights guar
anteed him by the Constitutions: that 1t
was the province Of a common law jury
the parties could not agree, and that the
right of the complainant to payment for
the party wall must be determined upon by
a court at law, where the validity of the
building regulations as applying to the
county could be passed upon.
Attorney Leo Simmons appeared for Mr..
Souder.

UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION
Commissioner Yeomans Reads Paper
Before Railway Commissioners.

From the 14th to the 10th OF this month
the fifteenth annual convention of The Ma
uonal Association OF Railway Commission
ers was held in Boston. There were In at
tendance from Washington Commissioner
J. -. Ieomans OF the interstate commerce
commission, the assistant secretary NJ s.
Decker. and William H. Connolly, chief
clerk of the commission.
Among the subjects considered by the
convention were uniform classification OF
freight and safety appliances on railways
In the United States
A special paper was laid before the con-
vention by Commissioner Yeomans on uni
form classification. part OF which was as
follows:
Your committee can only repeat the rec
ommenda ton of last year. that the national
government. either through the Interstate
commerce commission or by some other
means. shall establish and put in effect a
uniform freight classification. unless such
classification shall be adopted and pro-
mulgated within q specified period by the
Carriers themselves. Your committee is in
clfned to believe that short bill drawn in
accordance with this recomme endatiol
might pass during the coming session of
Congress If ii should be generally support
ed by railway commissioners and shippers
throughout the country. In view of the
favorable attitude of many carriers III the
past, it is perhaps not too much To expect
that they would favor the passage of such
legislatio
The members of the convention Will he in
New York for two days this week. and viii
come to Washington by special train on
Saturday next, remaining here until Mon
day.

suit OF this meeting and the delegates were
