The President sent for me 10 talk

portallce in my call. BY the way" he
broke off, TO speak to a friend of long
standing, How are you feeling?''
'Oh. I'm pretty well admiral replied
the gentleman addressed
you don't weigh as much as you did,
do your? continued the admiral.
NO, l have lost about 100 pounds and
feel good deal better than when
weighed 2So.'
Did they make you stop your grog ?''
asked the admiral with q note of anxiety
in his voice.
Il never drank any in my life," replied
the eX-fat man.
Well. said the admiral, 1.-The doctors
tell me that I've got TO stop my grog."

ICE AND SNOW LAW IS
NOW UP TO CONGRESS

sidewalks Whatever power the legis-
lature itself may have in the premises,
have granted such plenary authority as
is here claimed under the joint resoin-
ton of 1892
"That various municipalities may
have exercised, such power, as appears
from various municipal ordinances col
lected i'm the brief on behalf of the ap-
pellee, is not to the point. Municipal
ties are usually vested with quaSi-leglS-
lative power, among them the sovereign
rover of taxation and assessment
Commissioners Organs of Congress.
And from the fact that municipal
ordinances are elsewhere to be found
analogous to the so-called regulation
here in question, it is not to be inferred
that similar powers exist in the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia.
The Commissioners are not the munich
pality but only the executive organs
OF it; and Congress has reserved TO It
self not only the power of legislation In
the strict sense OF the term Wmch IL
cannot constitutionally delegate TO any
one or to any body OF men, but even the
power of enacting municipal ordinances,
such as are within the ordinary scope
OF the authority of Incorporated munich
palities. 1t has delegated to the Com
missioners simply the power of making
police regulations. and only such
police regulation as are usual and
commonly known by that designation. 7"
Old Law Resu,rected.
"At all events" comments Judge Nor
ris, there has been no such legislation.
Instead Of an application to Congress-,
there has been the ill-advised resurrec-
ton Of an old municipal ordinance. and
the PRONUNCIATION Of Ii by the Comnlis-
sicners as regulation of their own, in-
tended to effect what three several acts
of Congress had failed to effect. We can
not but regard it as a plain usurpatton
of the powers of Congress.
I'VE are of oninion that as the law
now stands Congress alone. and not the
Commissioners, have the authority ta

The "snow law of the District is un-
constitutional and invalid.
This is the decision of the Court of
Appeals of the District, announced yes
terday by Mr.. Justice Morris In the
case of Cecilia NJ Coughlin, appellant,
against the District
The facts in the case are:
Mrs. Coughlin was tried in the Police
Court, and convicted of violating the
police regulation promulgated by the
Commissioners relating to the removal
of snow from the sidewalks She was
specifically charged with having failed
TO remove the snow from the sidewalk
in front of premises 735 Second Street

Upon being found guilty in the Police
Court Mrs Coughlin was fined S. This
she refused to pay. and took an appeal
from the judgment to the Court of Ap-
pealS.
Police Court Judgment Reversed.
In disposing of the case Mr.. Justice
Morris says:
THE judgment of the Police Court in
the premises will be reversed with
costs. and the cause will be remanded
to that court with directions to vacate
such judgment and to discharge, the
defendant.
We are of opinion that the reSula-
