quire That Heating Apparatus
Be Made Safe.

THAT Hebe Cults Bremerman came to
her death November G. 1908. at 1909 list

given forth from a hot-water heater. We
believe that said death was due to acct

Commissioners OF the District of Columbia
require that such heating be ventilated
and otherwise made safe
The foregoing verdict was rendered by
a coroner's jury yesterday afternoon In
her mot her-n-law and child. was found
dead in their apartments at the place
and on the date named.
The matter has been the subject Of
rigorous inquiry by chemists of the Agri-
cultural Department and Coroner hewitt
since the triple fatality occurred last
month The husband on his return from

child and mother in the apartment in LIST
street For several days the matter was
surrounded by mystery, until the expert
estigaton cleared it up
The report of the Agricultural Depart
ment chemists, on which the verdict of
the corOner's jury is based was read TO
the jury at the morgue yesterday after
noon by Prof. w. W. Skinner of the Agri-
cultural Department. who gave verbal eX-
plantations of portions of the report that
were not clear to the jurymen. The re-
port shows that hotwater heaters in

Unless ordered by the courts The Com
the cost for the construction of the Rhode
Island avenue bridge. This bridge is to
remove dangerous grade crossing on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. and for some
time the railroad company and the Com
missloners have been engaging in q. con-
ton of the bridge
The company contends that the District
should pay oue-half the cost. in that there
is section in the Union station act
which provides that ''any and all streets
or highways within the District of Column
bia, now or hereafter planned or prof.
ected to cross any line or steam railroad
in the District of Columbia. which may
hereafter be opened for public use shall
be located. constructed and maintained
either beneath such railroad by subway
or above it by a suitable viaduct or
bridge: the cost and expense of construc-
ton shall be borne half by such railroad
company and half by the District of CO.
lumbia.
The contention OF the commissioners is
that at the time of the passage of this act
and was actually owned by the District
on both sides of the right of way of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and for that
reason the section OF the Union station act
referred to has no bearing in the case.
The railroad company will be officially
notified to this effect and that the Com
missionerS will refuse TO pay half the
cost of the Rhode Island avenue bridge
unless forced to do so by the courts.
