DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
IMPORTANT DECISIONS HAND
ED DOWN IN FAVOR OF D. G.
Dog Muzzling Order Sustained.
Right to Condemn for Right Of
Way and Regulate Subdivisions.

The order Of the District Commission
ers recurring the muzzling Of dogs for six
months was upheld today by the District
Court of Appeals in an opinion by Justice
Robb The court declared that the regu-
lation is fairly within the scope of the
police powers and of the authority con-
ferred by Congress In the act Of 1887 and
not inconsistent with the act OF 1873
which is still in force.
DR.. Cecil French was convicted in the
Police Court Of violation OF the regu-
lation and appealed.
The right of the District Commissioners
to condemn land for a right Of way for
sewer under the general act. and that they
need not have a specific enactment as the
exigency arises was sustained by the APP
pellate Court in an opinion by Justice Van
Orsdel James Elverson moved to set
aside a petition to condemn his land,
which was to be taken for trunk sewer
north of T street between Wisconsin ave
nue. and Rock creek, on the theory that
there had been no special act OF Congress
and no funds specifically appropriated for
the expenses incident. The lower court
sustained his contention. and the DISTRICT
appealed.
Justice Van OrsdeI holds that the gen.
eral authority given the Commissioners
to condemn land needed for schools, sew.
ers and the like is sufficient. and that 1t
does not follow that because the money
for the work has not been appropriated
it will not be appropriated by the time
the work is done.
The District Court of Appeals In an
opinion by Chief Justice Shepard amrmed
the action of the District Supreme Court
in declining to grant mandamus sought
BY the Columbia Heights Realty Com
pany to compel the record of subdivision
of its property on Florida avenue be-
tween 18th and 18th streets.
The Commissioners refused to admit the
subdivision to record until certain assess
ments for benefits resulting from the
opening of 18th street levied by jury OF
condemnation had been paid. The COM
pany claimed that as the validity OF this
assessment was being Irrigated In the
United States Supreme Court. it should
not be required to make payment before
that tribunal had acted.
The court holds that the Commissioners
have general powers to regulate SUBJ
divisions.

STAND PAT," SAYS SHAW
FORMER SECRETARY OF TREAS
URY SPEAKS IN OHIO.
Opens Campaign in Stark County
and Praises Policies Of Nc
Kinley-Lauds Sherman.

CANTON, Ohio. September 26.-Former
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ.
Shaw opened the republican campaign in
Stark county by an address at the Audi
forum tonight to large and enthusiastic
assemblage. Previous to the address he
was rendered reception at the CORTLAND
Hotel by prominent republicans of this
section.
Mr.. Shaw discussed the tariff and urged
his hearers to stand pat on policies ad-
vocated by Mckinley. He left Canton for
New York at 2:40 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
Mr.. Shaw spoke in part as follows:
Mr.. Bryan strongly insinuates and
comes very near charging that because
the producers OF this country favor the
republican party therefore republican ad-
ministrations feel bound to grant i'm
munity of punishment for violations of
penal statutes. There is no justification
for this.
The great statesman whose name is
linked with that of Canton to the eternal
honor of this city had during the cam
paign of 1875 the hearty support OF nearly
every business man in the United States,
except the producers of silver.
Praises Mckinley.
Il will go further. He had the con-
fidence and the support of the business
interests of America from the date he
entered politics until that fatefuI day at
Buffalo. Did this fact make him I'M
patriotic or untrue? Who wrote the first
platfor promising affirmative legislation
against trusts? William Mckinley wrote
it and as chairman of the committee on
resolutions read it 70 the national COM
mfttee of the party at Minneapolis in
1855"
Mr.. Shaw lauded John Sherman as the
father of the antitrust bills and President
Harrison IS the first signer OF such meas
ures. He paid tribute to President Roose-
welt for the enforcement of antitrust
laws and demanded to know what Bryan
or the democrats had ever done in this
respect.
