member of the city force of beach guards,
and youth named Reynolds. Three wine
glasses and bottle drained of its con-
tents told half the CHASTITY tale.
The girls body was hurried to the
morgue and Penny and his compan Mon to
the city hospital. They may recover. but
the doctors admit that the chance is
slight.
AS yet Capt. of Detectives Waten has
no clew as to the identity of the child
victim. He believes she was enticed into
the deserted boathouse and piled with
liquor. One or the other of the young
men is believed to have made an at
tempt to extinguish the gas and failed

ANOTHER LAW Is NECESSARY
OWNERS CANNOT BE FORCED TO
CLEAN SIDEWALKS.
When Public Parking Adults on
Property the District Is
Without Control.

According to District Commissioner
Morrow. Congress should pass a law
that owners Of property may be compelled
to take action to prevent dirt, sand OF
gravel from falling or being washed upon
the sidewalks. streets or alleyways abut-
ting upon parking in front of their prop
erty.
This declaration was made by the Com
missioner when ne was informed that a
successful prosecution could not be con-
Quoted against property owner for not
keeping the sidewalk in front of his prop
erty in good condition when there is a
public parking between the sidewalk and
the property. The assistant corporation
counsel had been asked last month to
issue an information under section =
article 8. of the police REGULATE winch
provides that owners shall keep the side
walk In front of their property In A
cIeanly condition. The prosecution of the
ST. Vincent de Paul Infant Asylum, owner
of q lot in square 1885, was proposed
In summing up the situation in his rec
concentration to the Commissioners Maj.
Morrow said: This case is similar to a
number of other cases where the assistant
to the corporation counsel, acting as a
prosecuting officer in the Police Court,
refuses to issue warrants on the ground
that public parking intervenes between
the sidewalk and the private property.
IF the police cannot correct tue con-
ditions under the police regulations L
know of no other way to accomplish the
result than by asking further legislation.
The Engineer Commissioner says that
under the existing legislation the District
Commissioners are unable to correct the
conditions in front of lots where there

rising from a run on the ground. He
then went after the height record and
beat all accurately measured heights for
a flying machine. though some of his
brother Orvlle's flights at Fort Myer in
the United States. were estimated to have
been even higher

meters from the ground. was installed in
the middle of the paneuvering ground.
After a five-minute flight Mr.. Wright
cleared the balloons by forty-nine feet, or
at distance of 147 feet from the ground.

the line of balloons at 1856 feet from the
