of England, expressed themselves as think
ing that Washington is not a hospitable

DECISION REVERSED.
Court of Appeals Construes Will Of DR..
E. C. Morgan. Deceased,

The Court of Appeals in an opinion writ
ten by Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey, and handed
down late yesterday, reversed the decree Of
the Supreme Court of the District of Column
bit inthe case Of Spear against Whitney. As
the result of this decision, it is said
Georgetown University will ultimately re-
ceive a substantial share of the estate, val
ued at about $4,000, left by the late DR..
E. Carroll Morgan.
1t is explained that DR.. Morgan be-
queathed the bulk of his estate to his two
sisters Mrs. Emory Spear and Mrs. James
Mosher, for life and thereafter to George
town University, as an endowment for the
literary and medical schools. He left $40
900 additional to Georgetown College for
the prosecution of research into the colonial
history Of Maryland. He also left IS, 600 to
purchase memorial window in some Cath
Ole church in the District of Columbia, and
in the event the bequest should be held
void the sum was to be divided between
st. Vincents and st. Joseph's orphan asy-
lums. Three thousand dollars was left to
found scholarship in Georgetown medical
school and 5000 to create a scholarship in
the classical department of the college.
These requests. it is stated We're all at
tackled by Mrs. Spear, who contended that
Georgetown University had not been prop
erly named in the instrument, it's correct
corporate title being The president and di-
rectcrs of Georgetown College," This OBJ
lection was overruled by ting burt of APP
peals, as was the objection that the col
lege, being under the control of the Jesuit
priests, was a religious institution in con-
temptation Of the statute prohibiting be-
quest to religious institutions within one
month from the date of the will The court
held that the college is an educational in
stitution and not a religious institution
The other legacies named were attacked
upon similar grounds, and the Court of
Appeals reversed the decision of the lower
court holding that the legacies were all
wand except the legacy of 5000 to estab-
hsh a scholarship in the classical depart
ment. The language of the will as to this
particular item was held to be too vague
and indefinite. The will provided that the
money should be invested as the testator
might verbally indicate to his trustees. or
II he failed to instruct them then as they
might decide on advice of proper persons.

WANT WILL CONSTRUED.
Trustees of McKendree M. E, Church
File Petition.

The trustees of McKendree M E. Church
and nine others have petitioned the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia to
construe the will of John c. Hardness.
Blanche E. Burfiend and eighteen others
are named defendants.
BY the terms Of the will, it is claimd lot
2, square 51S, known as 100 9Th street, was
devised to the trustees of the church. 1t
was provided that one-half the income
from the property should be used for the
support Of the pastor Of McKendree Church
The remainder was to go in equal shares to
the church poor fund, the Sabbath school
and the Ladies Mite Society Of the church.
May l.. Hardness, widow Of the testator,
was executrix Of the will, and made a con-
veyance of the property to the church trus-
tees. The latter agreed to sell the prem
ises to Blanche e. Burf1end but some
doubt is said to exist as to the right of the
trustees to pass good title to the land as
the matter now stands.

cR1T1c1sE GARBAGE SERVICE.
Citizens Complain That They Are
Often Neglected,

Complaints against the failure of the
washington Fertilizer Company to remove
garbage from residences in the District
continue to be received at the District
building. From report made by Super
intendent Stutier of the street cleaning
department his Office has imposed fines
on the company for failure to collect gar
bage, and has done all within the prov
lnce of his office to remedy the conditions,
out that does not seem to be sufficient. 1t
Is inferred from the report that it is now
up to the Commissioners to require the
company to carry out the terms of it's con-
tract
Several days ago Mr.. w. A. Wilson of
2j21 18th street northwest reported that
he has been receiving but one collection
OF garbage week at his residence, al
though he has on two former occasions
called this matter to the attention of the
authorities. The complaint of Mr. Wilson
was referred by Commissioner West to
Superintendent Stutler "for prompt inves-
ugation and report
Mr.. Stutler reports that after the inveS-
tgation of Mr.. Wilson's second complaint,
dated September 23 last he wrote to the
garbage company stating that citizens
We're complaining of the failure to rem
der schedule service, and asking that suf-
ficient teams be put on the routes to make
the required number of collections.
AT the time says Mr.. Stutler, three
stdOltioiitl tedUlS were put Oh. Dut SiIltt
then they have been taken off again, and
today there are but sixty teams on the
routes. The contract for the collection and
disposal of garbage provides for daily, ex-
cept Sunday, collections in the city and
tri-weekly collections in the suburbs from
April 16 to October 81 inclusive, and tri-
weekly collections in the city and semi
weekly in the suburbs during the bal
ance of the year. The suburbs are not re-
ceiving tri-weekly collections.
I'm this case fine has been imposed,
and another letter will be addressed to the
Washington Fertilizer Company, calling at
tention to the conditions, and requesting
that sufficient teams be put on to give a
tri-weekly service in the suburbs as re-
CURED by the contract.
THE only means within the power of
this office, the imposition of fines for neg
lect, has been used when the facts war
rant it to compel the contractors to carry
out the terms of their contract, but, as
this case indicates, without the desired
result"
While the street cleaning department i'm
poses fines on the contractor, it is stated,
the Commissioners alone have authority
to impose penalties on the contractor and
to revoke contracts for failure to carry
out its terms.

what had been done
Miss F. j. Smith, the principal of Birney
School. presided, speaking briefly upon the
necessity of punctuality and of parental in
terest in school work. Miss l.. z. Pollen
sang a solo. after which there was an ad-
dress by Mr.. F. L. Cardozo, the newly-ap-
pointed supervising principal of the 18th
division. After being entertained with Sc
lections upon the mandolin and guitar by
