DISTRICT TO TEST
ALLEY LAW AGAIN
New Cases Brought to De-
eide Issue Raised by
Appeals Decision.
The District government set about

The District government set about
making another court test of the
alley eviction law today when four
informations against landlords and
tenants were filed in Police Court.
The informations read THE land
lords or tenants did allow to
be used a certain abode in an alley
less than so feet wide, which was not
open at both ends to the street and
had neither gas nor electricity" The
cases will not come up for several
days.
Forced by Decision.
The new suits to test the alley evic-
ton law were necessitated by a re-
cent decision of the District Court of
Appeals. which refused to enjoin the
Commissioners from carrying out the
law, stating that the court had no
Jurisdiction in an equity suit and that
the test would have to be originated
in criminal proceedings.
The names of the defendants in the
four cases are Henry a. Lockwood of
Jackson Hall alley, Spires Koumaris.
also OF Jackson Hall alley; Wilbur F.
Nash, Franklin +. and j. Nash, trus-
tees of the estate of Louise A. Nash,
lunatic, of Bassetts alley, and James
White. William Hunter and Henry
Bruner. charged jointly, also of Bas-
setts alley.
The informations were sworn to by
3. A. Hopkinson. inspector in charge
of the condemnation of insanitary
buildings.
Ousting Put on.
When the alley closing law was
about to- become effective last year.
the general impression prevailed that
scores of families then living in the
alleys would have to be ousted.
The Commissioners, however, re-
quested Corporation Counsel Stephens
to study carefully the language of the
act of Congress. and in a written
opinion Mr.. stephens took the posi-
ton that a majority of the existing
alleys were still lawful for dwelling
purposes.
Conditions of Law.
In his opinion he pointed out that
three conditions must be absent to
make an alley unlawful for dwelling
purposes. They were:
First, the alley must be less than
80 feet wide: second, the alley must
fail to run straight through and open
upon two sides of q square, and third
it must be without sewer, water main
and gas or electricity.
All three of these adverse elements
must coincide in order that the I'M
lawful condition exist. said the cor
poration counsel
He went further and stated that an
alley in the prohibited class may be
taken out of that category by i'm
proving it to the extent of only one of
the three elements mentioned.
