The killing Of a large gray fox at East
Washington Heights. near Good Hope,
several days ago caused Surprise to a
number of the residents who learned Of

auiries ascertained that probably four
foxes have been shot and killed recently
in Maryland near the District line. The
latest gray fox killed was slain in the
rear Of the premises of D. c. Fountain.
who lives on Bowen road. The fox was
first seen about dusk. and a young man
pursued it with a shotgun. He was un-

qucntly fired at some object that darted
across his path. thinking 1t was rabbit.
When he examined what he had shot he
recognized the fox that he had been
chasing. The animal was hit in the head,
SO the skin was not injured and Is in the

Bill Affects Those Running to Blu
reau Of Engraving.

On account Of the recent decision OF the
Supreme Court Of the District In favor OF
the 14th street site for the southwest sub
station, Maj ]. J. Morrow, former Ensi-
neer Commissioner, has drafted bill
which will order the cars on the LIE Drolt
Park bureau of engraving and printing
line to go around by the substation. The
bill has been sent to Representative Car
lin.
In an opinion given to the Commissioners
today Corporation Counsel E. H. Thomas
advises against the taking Of an appeal
from the recent decision Of the District
Supreme Court in favor of the railroads
in regard to the location of the SUBJ
station in Southwest Washington.
The Districts legal adviser points out
that the enactment of Congress specifies
that the substation shall be located at
some place north of the Long bridge"
to be approved by the Commissioners.
Until Congress changes this provision of
the act, the corporation counsel believes
that no practical benefit will result in re-
versing the opinion of the court, II such
reversal can be obtained.
This view has been approved by the
Commissioners.
