STOESSEL ACTED
WITHIN RIGHTS

LONDON, Jan. THE question
whether. as alleged from Tokyo, the
Russians destroyed their ships after
their surrender, cannot be determined
yet.
An English correspondent with Nogfs
army says that prior TO, during and sub
sequent TO the arrangement of terms the
garrison blew up and burned buildings,
ships. arsenals. supplies. and everything
valuable that they could find time TO
destroy.
A telegram from Tokyo says that
naval officers there do not share the
newspaper and popular indignation, be-
lieving that they would have done the
same under the circumstances
Opinion in England is divided but a
majority think Stoessel acted within his

GETTING BUSY TO
ENFORCE SNOW LAW

Since the snow fall Corporation Coun-
sci DuvaIl has something on which to
practice with his corporation ordinance
OF 1865.
That the District authorities are de-
termined to prosecute for failure 10 re-
move snow and ice from the sidewalks
Is evidenced by the formation of police
regulation embodying the principle OF
the snow and ice law of 1865 The draft
of this proposed regulation was submit
ted to the Commissioners by Corpora
ton Counsel DuyaH today
II provides for a penalty OF s. or Ave
days Imprisonment for failure to re-
move snow from the sidewalk within
four hours of daylight after the snow
fall 1t also provides that ashes or other
suitable substance must be spread over
ice on the sidewalk within the same
time The tenant or occupant Of a
house is made responsible for the re-
moval of snow, or, II unoccupied. the
owner or agent.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1905-01-04
Two Commissioners Agree.

Two of the three District Commission
ers have approved Mr.. DuvalFs sugges-
ton that prosecutions be instituted I'm
der the ordinance OF 1866. and Colonel
Biddie, Engineer Commissioner, is now
considering the subject.
Commissioner Macfariand has also
recommended that a new case be brought
under the act of Congress providing for
the removal of snow and Ice and that
this case be carried TO the court of last
resort. hoping that the United States
Supreme Court may reverse the decision
OF the District Court Of Appeals.
The proposed police regulation must
be approved by the Commissioners, and
then advertised before il becomes ef-
fectiye.
