COMMISSIONER NEWMAN
DENIED SPECIAL APPEAL
Application for Review Of Decision of
Justice Wright Is Turned
Down.
TO APPEAR IN DISTRICT COURT

The District Court of Appeals yester-
representing Oliver p. Newman. presi-
dent of the Board of District Commis-
sioners, for the allowance Of a special
appeal Mr.. Newman had sought to
have the appellate court review the de-
cision of Justice Wright that taxpayer
may institute proceedings in quo war
ranto to test the eligibility of an in
cumbent in the office of District Com
missioner In other words Commissioners
Newman must defend before justice OF
the District Supreme Court his right to
hold the office and exercise the functions
of a civil Commissioners of the District.
Chief Justice Shepard signed the
opinion denying the application for a
special appeal, after having submitted
the papers in the case to Associate
Justice Robb. The opinion is as fol-
lows:
especial appeals from interlocutory
orders of this nature are granted only
when il is apparent that delay and costs
may probably be avoided by their al
lowance In cases of this character the
avoidence of delay is of especial i'm
portance. There seems 10 be no reason
why a speedy final determination may
not be reached in the trial court that
may be appealed from in due course.
and a complete determination had that
may lay the foundation for further ap-
peal. without considering the ques-
tions of~law as presented, 1t Is our opin-
ion that II would be better to let the
cause take its ordinary course, and for
that reason the application is denied"

COMMISSIONERS PREPARE
TO GET REFORMAToRY SITE
Ask Institution of Condemnation
Proceedings Against Property
at Occoquan.

Institution Of condemnation proceed
ings for the acquisition Of 1,5oo acres
of land near Occoquan, Va, as a site
for the proposed District reformatory
was requested of the Attorney General
by the Commissioners yesterday. II
is expected that the Commissioners
will include in their estimates provi-
sion for an initial building appropria-
tion.
A survey of the desired site has al
ready been completed by the Asses
sor's ONCE, and an agreement has been
reached with most Of the owners on
the price.
In order to insure good title to the
land, however. the Commissioners have
asked for the institution of condem-
nation proceedings. The amount re-
ceived from the sale of the tract orig
inally purchased as q site for the pro-
posed reformatory, near Mount Ner7
non. probably will be more than sum-
cient for the purchase of the tract Sc
lected near Occoquan. The Board Of
Charities is now studying the charac-
ter of buildings that should be built
