VIOLATION Of THE LAW
OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED
Odd Conditions Make Permit
for an illegal Fire Es-
cape Necessary.

Because of the peculiar conditions of
the case, the operation of the law pro-
hibiting the encroachment of private
buildings on government reservations in
this city has been waived with respect
to the building at the northwest corner of
New York avenue and 9th street north
west
Several months ago the owner of that
building was directed by the District au-
thorities to equip it with suitable fiEe
escapes in accordance with law. He ex-
pressed a willingness to do so and
planned to put the fire escapes on the
rear Of the building. That involved their
extension over the yard Of a dwelling on
X street. The owner of that property,
however, would not permit such use of
1t. Owing to the fact that the construc-
ton Of the New York avenue building
would not justify placing the fire escapes
on the front, it was concluded that the
only solution of the problem was to place
the escapes on the east side, where they
would extend over the government reser-
walton on the corner.

 Wreck

Southport, Dec. 9.-Antonio Del grosso was killed Saturday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock by a special train which was carrying several of ticials of the railroad to New York city. Delgrosso was working with a number of other laborers near the Southport station removing some old ties from the road bed. The train was going at the rate of 50 miles an hour when the man was hit and went a distance of several hundred feet af ter throwing him. The train was backed up to the scene and some of the directors got out to view the re- mains Nothing could be done so they proceeded on their way to New York.
 At the time that the special ap- preached there was an accommOda- ton train just stopping at the station which probably was the cause of the mai. not hearing the warning whistle. The other Workmen screamed to Del gronso but did not succeed in warn ing him of his danger. His body landed on road bed of crushed stone. He was terribly crushed and nearly all of his bones were broken.
 Medical Examiner Dr. w. H. Don aldson gave permission for the remov- al of the body to the undertaking g rooms of Charles Fable in Westport. The matter was reported to County Coroner John ]. Phelan, who has ar ranged to hold an inquest this after noon.
