nection with the suggestion for the Brook
land school that the Commissioners will Sc
lect a site for the coOred school provided
for the colored children at Brookland and
vicinity, and they viii be accommodated
in this new building. Action has been de-
layed because of the disagreement among
the citizens as to where the school should
be placed. The Commissioners have given
all the time that could be reasonably ex-
pected TO the consideration of the various
protests and arguments, and action will be
taken at early dat.

SUITS FOR DAMAGES
Efforts to Hold Electric Company Re
sponsible for Fatal Accidents.

Efforts to hold the Potomac Electric
Power Company civilly responsible for the
death of Walter Sousa and Harry Candee,
at Flemer's drug store last Saturday night,
will, it is understood, be made by the rela-
tives of the two unfortunate men. Counsel
have been retained. and suits for damages
are said to be in contemplation.
Attorney Charles H. Merillat, who has
been retained by Sousa's relatives, stated
today that in the suit which he will insti-
tute he will take the position that the COM
pany is responsible because the transformer
will be alleged to have been defective, and
not in the condition required by the regu-
lations. When Sousa turned on the current,
he said and found that all the lights re-
sponded, except the one in the window, he
will contend that Sousa was justified in
supposing that the trouble was local at
that point and that the transformer had
properly performed its functions and only
10 volts of electricity were to be expected
at the defective lamp.
Attorney Thomas Bradley is said to have
be01 retained in the interest of the rela-
tives of Candee, the drug clerk.
